Design
The tank has a classic layout, with the placement of the driver's compartment in the front part, the crew compartment - in the middle and the engine compartment - aft. As with the T-84 BM "MBT" applied autoloader, which allowed to have a crew of three people - the driver, gunner and commander. The driver is located in the center. The commander of the tank is placed to the right, and gunner - left, each of them has a hatch for embarkation / disembarkation.
Previous KMDB tanks (T-80UD, T-84) BM "Hold" have improved the following features:
Fire control
– a new fire control system;
– bore bending accounting system;
– Combined commander's panoramic sight with independent day and night (thermal imaging) channels, and a laser range finder;
Protection
– welded turret of a new form of rolled bronestali;
– larger side skirts, providing additional protection for the hull sides and running gear of the rocket-propelled grenade;
– Built-in RS "Doublet" (It looks like a "knife-2"), providing better protection against armor piercing projectiles and tandem shaped-charge munitions;
– complex "Guard";
Mobility
– new integrated management system tank, providing automatic shifting and a smooth turn while driving;
– 6TD-2E power 1200 l. from. with reduced opacity and toxicity of exhaust;
– diesel auxiliary power unit power 10 kW;

Firepower
The main armament is a 125 mm smoothbore gun kb, is a copy with minor modifications gun 2A46M-1 design 1970 of the year, which has a barrel length 48 caliber and has an auto-loading conveyor type. The gun is equipped with an ejector propellant gases, and a thermal stabilized in two planes.
The barrel is made quick-cannon and can be replaced in the field without dismantling the tank turret with. Turret rotation drive - electric, Hydraulic - Gun drive. The tower is rotated 180 degrees in less than 5 seconds (Turret rotation speed relative to the housing is 40 / sec). In case of emergency situation is available with redundant mechanical actuators pointing guns and towers.
gun ammunition is 46 shots separate-case charging, of them 28 placed in the autoloader. BM "Hold" is capable of firing armor-piercing subcaliber, cumulative, high-explosive anti-tank missiles and "Combat" with semi-active laser beam control system.
Rate of the tank up to 8 rounds / min. (712.5 sec. on loading single shot), which is achieved due to automatic loading and tandem chambering (projectile-charge) per cycle. Removal shoot pallet by means of its automatic collecting and stacking the empty tray without depressurizing the crew compartment. conveyor loading time autoloader shots is 15-20 min. It also provides redundant drives automatic loader and manual loading mechanism.
guided weapons
A distinctive feature is the presence of the tank CUW (guided weapon system), which allows you to fire a gun with guided missiles (PTUR) "Combat" laser-guided at distances up 5 km and provides armor penetration behind ERA least 750 mm. ATGM placed in the autoloader as, as usual shells.
ATGM "Combat" is almost throughout the flight is conducted above the line of sight, and its translation directly at the target is carried out automatically for all 0,3 seconds until the lesion. This solution stands out from the laser target illumination throughout the flight the rocket, that the opponent can not put the interference ATGM relying only on laser irradiation sensors.
Shooting ATGM "Combat" is available in the tank speeds up 30 kmh, against targets, moving at speeds up to 70 kmh.
auxiliary armament
The tank is equipped with an auxiliary arms:
– antiaircraft gun CT 12.7 mm (ammunition 3 × 150 rounds) a remote control system; vertically pointing angle ranges from -3 ° to + 60 °, Exchange - in the range of ± 75 °; gun vertically stabilized in the range of from -3 ° to + 20 °;
– coaxial machine gun with a gun-CT 7.62 mm (ammunition 1250 rounds).
fire control system and sighting devices
fire control system (SUO) BM "Hold" provides round the clock and all-weather aiming and shooting from a cannon, coaxial and anti-aircraft guns, including a tank commander. OMS tank comprises:
sighting system:
– day sight Gunner "Promin" 1G46M equipped with independent stabilization in two planes, laser rangefinder (to 9990 m with an accuracy of ± 10 m) and semi-active control channel PTUR "Combat". It has multiplicity 2,7-12h.
– Thermal sighting system gunner PTT-2. Designed for the detection of ground and airborne targets, and aimed fire on them day and night. Target detection range - up 8000 m, recognition - 4500 m and identification - 2500 m.
– panoramic sighting system commander OMV-6. It designed to detect air and ground targets with the commander's station, and aimed fire on them day and night. Equipped with a laser range finder. Range of detection targets like tank is 5500-8000 m.
– stabilizer arms 2E42M
– SWEET (trunk bending accounting system) increases accuracy due to automatic correction of aiming angles and lateral lead, produced by the ballistic calculator, taking into account the heat of the barrel bending of solar radiation and its own heating during intensive firing.
– remote control system anti-aircraft machine gun 1ETS29M
The security and survivability
ballistic protection
BM "Hold" is a combined system of protection, comprising passive armor, built-in dynamic protection and a number of other security systems, increases the survival of the tank on the battlefield. Armor - mnogosloynaya, consisting of armor plates and ceramic materials. The roof of the tower is made tselnoshtampovannyh, which enhances its rigidity and provides good workability and stable quality in mass production.
At the front of housing, the tower and the sides of the tank are fitted with the RS (dynamic protection) new generation "Doublet", which provides protection against chemical and armor-piercing ammunition. The modular design provides for quick replacement of the security elements in the modernization or damage. On the boards of BM "Hold" housing with large rubber skirts, providing additional protection against hand antitank RPG-7 type. Elements DZ "Doublet" do not detonate when hit by bullets caliber 12,7 mm, caliber armor-piercing shells to 30 mm and shell fragments. In this dynamic detonation protection comes from the close gap 125 mm high-explosive projectile.
Actions dynamic protection principle based on the initialization set cumulative jets for the purpose of cutting the attacking munition into parts. Protection can destroy a tandem warhead, cutting the main charge, if successful contact angle. However, this makes it impossible for constructive protection tandem ammunition with a large diversity of charge in length, and also tends to undermine the protection of neighboring modules.
DZ "Doublet" is maintenance free and safe to handle. Installation of the DMZ is possible by the crew without special tools for 2.5-3 hours. dynamic security modules can not be repaired in the field.
According to the tank manufacturer, VPTDZ (Built-in dynamic protection protivotandemnaya) "MBT-M" provides protection from:
– anti-tank hand grenades and heavy machine, and recoilless guns;
– antitank missiles "TOW-2», «Milan», "Sturm-C";
– HEAT projectiles caliber smoothbore tank gun 125 mm (3BK18M, 3BK18, 3BK14M, 3BK14);
– armor-piercing projectiles caliber smoothbore tank gun 125 mm (3BM22, 3BM26, 3BM42) and 120 mm tracer feathered sabot projectile with separable tray Cl3069.
Dynamic protection reduces penetration of armor-piercing projectiles 25 %, PTUR efficiency decreases by 60 %, and cumulative shells on 40 %.
Mine protection provides crew survival in blasting under caterpillar min with TNT equivalent 10 kg, and under the bottom (in the front office) - to 4 kg.
The tank is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system in the crew compartment and MTO. In the "MBT-M" are also installed PRHR-M1 (Radiation and chemical reconnaissance unit) and the system of protection against weapons of mass destruction.
active protection
Active protection BM "Hold" involves the use of KOEP (complex optronic countermeasures) "Warta" for raising curtains and active protection for the destruction of "Barrier" ammunition.
"Varta" is able to detect the laser aiming at the tank and put a smokescreen. The obvious disadvantage of the complex is the failure to respond to the flight itself attacking the ammunition due to the lack of radar. Modern laser-guided anti-tank systems with as "Cornet" or "Skif", that i'm PTUR "Kombat", which is equipped with a tank, most of the missile guided laser beam above the target and lowered the target for laser 0,3 seconds before its defeat when in fact completed and production guidance curtains effective constraint. Warta is not intended for the production of non-transparent in the infrared aerosol screens, since the complex has no means of detecting anti-tank missile with infrared seeker. Nevertheless, complex is useful for the reaction to laser rangefinders artillery systems against a number of anti-tank.
For tank developed active protection "Barrier" with enough advanced features. Protection consists of modules, each equipped with its own mini-radar with a distance of action 2-3 meters and not shoot off a grenade to destroy the attacking munition. Instead of shooting grenades, in other KAZ, made the nomination electric cylinder with a grenade and a mini-radar. Undermining the attacking munition is carried out in 0.5-1 meters from the tank. This design allows easy enough to implement the protection of the upper hemisphere and to arrange full or partial protection of the tank. Also, there is no need to calculate the trajectory of the protective ammunition to achieve high performance, even enough to destroy not only the missiles, but the armor-piercing projectiles. true, the developers were able to demonstrate the ability to intercept only "Clip" design 3BM22 1976 of the year, at which the rate of about 2 times lower than the final segment of the trajectory, than today BOPS. the less, ability to respond to sub-caliber armor-piercing ammunition is fairly unique to the active protection.
An essential aspect is the relatively high cost of "Barrier", since the complex demands instead of one radar have a minimum 16 miniradarov, so the current series production is planned only[24]. The experts also put forward the version, that "curtain" did not go into production because, Box complex is that the breastplate may break reservations stiffness, and issued KAZ cylinders may be lost during maneuvers on the road.
Engine
A tank mounted six-cylinder diesel engine 6TD 2E volume 16,3 liter capacity 1200 HP. The engine - two stroke, mnogotoplivnыy (It is running on petrol, kerosene, fuel for diesel engines or mixtures thereof in any proportion), supercharged, uniflow scavenging, direct injection, with horizontal cylinders and opposed pistons. Due to the low height of the engine (581 mm) engine compartment formed by two storey Scheme. Ejector cooling system radiator is installed on the engine.
Compared with 6TD, one previous engine, on 20 % increased power density, reaching 73,6 l. p. / liter with the same dimensions (L x W x H, mm: 1602 x 955 x 581) and mass (1180 kg)[28]. Due to the compactness of the engine and peculiarities of its construction, powerplant located transversely in the MTO (engine-transmission compartment) tanks and aligned with on-board transmission;. With this engine does not require alignment when replacing, greatly simplified the transmission of the tank and allows the small size of the MTO (3,1 m³).
Engine redesigned to increase efficiency and reliability in various climatic and weather conditions. The construction and features of the engine to operate at temperatures down to +55 ° C practically without derating, while, eg, power four-stroke diesel engine V-92S2 tank T-90 falls to 1000 to 600 l. from. at an air temperature +55 °C.
As noted above, 6TD 2E multifuel and is capable of operating on diesel fuel, jet fuel (kerosene), gasoline and mixtures thereof. Capacity internal fuel tanks is 575 l, external tanks, located on shelves nadgusenichnyh, — 570 l. Two additional fuel barrels capacity can be installed to increase the power reserve on the stern hull 380 l (2 x 190 l).
fuel consumption 100 km on a dry road dirt is 325-370 L, the road paved - not more than 300 l. Fuel tank system supplies fuel to the engine as the power of each group of tanks separately, and both groups at the same time.
Engine air intake provides air flow from the least dusty tank points and allows to overcome obstacles water depth of up to 1,8 m without preparation.
Secondary power system
The tank is installed a diesel auxiliary power unit power 10 kW. APU is designed to provide electricity to the tank with the engine turned off,, eg, when the tank on a stationary firing position or in ambush. Mounted on the right nadgusenichnoy shelf in a sealed compartment of an armored, and is connected to electric and fuel systems of the main motor.
Transmission
Box planetary gear with automatic transmission has 7 forward gears and 4 ago. Maximum speed - 70 km / h forward and 35 km / h in reverse.
The new integrated traffic management system of the tank ensures a smooth rotation of both while driving, and on-site, and also improves the dynamic performance of the tank due to the acceleration gear to ensure optimally. This tank control system allows smooth turns with the help of a steering wheel instead of the lever, which greatly simplifies the control process, It reduces the level of driver fatigue, increases maneuverability and allows duplicate management. This system has a high efficiency and has been designed KMDB. Such a management system as part of the Kharkov MTO 6TD-2 is exported abroad to be installed on the Pakistani tanks "Al-Khalid" and Chinese MBT 2000.
Chassis
Chassis BM "MBT" on each side consists of six doubles rubber track roller diameter 670 mm, five support rollers diameter 225 mm, sloth and located at the rear of the drive wheel. Suspension of rollers - individual, torsionnaya, with six hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers (on the first, the second and sixth hardpoints). Nodes suspension removed from the armored body to release space in the latter and to facilitate the suspension of service.
The tank may be equipped with two types of treads: asfaltohodnoy width 580 mm, providing a high speed on the way of the tank with asphalt coating, and wide 600 mm with extended lugs for driving on ice and loose ground. At the bottom of the radome mounted rubber skirt, designed to reduce dust when driving.

Ergonomics
Ergonomics tank provided with the following components:
– automatic shift, greatly simplifies management, reducing time for the driver training and fatigue during a long ride on a tank;
– digital shield (onboard computer) the driver, intended to indicate the fuel level and oil, control the operation of the heater, pre-launch and launch preparation main motor, turning on and off of lighting devices, display parameters of the engine and transmission;
– air conditioning system, consisting of two conditioners, installed in the hull and turret, and provide comfortable working conditions for the crew by cooling, drying or heating of air in the crew compartment.
Production
Production of the first tank began in the late 2008 year and it took three months. In May 2009 , the tank was adopted for the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the name BM "Hold" and concluded a supply contract 10 units at a price 29,5 million hryvnia. Due to lack of funding the production was suspended. 20-24 February 2011 "Hold" was first shown abroad - at the 10th International exhibition of arms IDEX-2011 in Abu Dhabi. The export price of a tank in 2011 the year was 4,9 million dollars., at 2013 year - 4,89 million US dollars. Series production began in 2013 year. December 2011 Deputy General Director of SC "Ukroboronprom" said Vladimir Kuratchenko, that in the production of tanks involved 40 Ukrainian enterprises. Serial production of "Hold" tanks began in 2013 year, however, the first sights PNA-6 were made in January, 2014 of the year.
Representatives of the Ukrainian defense industry made a lot of statements about the different plans mass production of Hold, but they were thwarted. So 4 February 2015 CEO of GC "Ukroboronprom" P. A. Romanov announced, what in 2015 It was to be released 40 "Hold" tanks 25 December 2015 The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted a decision to grant the plant them. Malyshev state guarantees to ensure compliance by the previously approved program production of "Hold" tanks. AT 2015 the production of tanks was finally torn down and not made a single copy or for the needs of the APU, nor on contractual obligations.
Deliveries in Thailand
1 September 2011 year contract was signed for the sale of "Hold-M" to foreign buyers - GK "Ukrspetsexport" and Thailand signed a contract in the amount of 241 $ millions. the manufacture and supply 49 tankov.V modifications to the Thai Army, in comparison with the conventional one, Some changes in the internal equipment, communication equipment and headsets, air conditioning for a comfortable work tank in a tropical climate.
26 June 2013 first made tank was presented. 5 November 2013 the first batch of 5 tanks was transferred to the Thai army representatives in Kharkov. December 2015 it became known, that because of 2015 year has not produced a single Hold, then invited the Government of Ukraine contract to transfer 2016 year.
According to the publication, "Interfax-Ukraine" in May 2016 Ukraine provided delivery in Thailand the third installment of new "Hold" tanks as part of 10 machines. In this way, the total number of "Hold" tanks in the Thai army has been brought to 20 units.
Another pariah "Hold" tanks in the amount of five cars arrived in Thailand in mid-November 2016.
In January 2017 appeared to break the contract data, Ukrspetsexport but claims to have dogovoronnesti reschedule deliveries. Acceptance five more runs in the middle of January ("It is assumed, the remaining 19 tanks will be delivered before the end of this year ").
Evaluation of the machine
M. D. Borysiuk, General Designer of Armored Vehicles and Artillery Systems, Head KMDB, lieutenant general, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor:
– "Hold" is a completely new machine, which was established at the level of modern analogues in the world ... For the main characteristics - fighting power, mobility and protection - tank "Hold" is on par with the best world standards ... "Hold" is today the world's highest level of protection among their peers, in particular, by tandem ammunition.
In the book "Armor is strong" M. D. Borysyuk denotes the direction of improving the tank:
– A tank "Hold", you must first improve the characteristics of weapons and ammunition, including the strengthening of the bore. At all, the problem of ammunition is becoming sharper and sharper, and this problem is due to its capacity and high costs in the competence Ukrainian government. Without a decision at the highest level it can not win. Further, a tank "MBT" should improve and optimize the protection of the tank from the top of the hemisphere, especially from enemy fire helicopter. Finally, the third important direction should be to increase the engine power reserve of approximately 200 Horse power, and without increasing the overall dimensions of the engine compartment.
According to Basil Chobitka, author of "Armor-Site», "MBT-M" is a good candidate to replace T-64, T-72, T-80 and subsequent unification tank park.
pros
– Tank Engine 6TD 2E worked in manufacturing, reliable and well-suited for operation in hot and high climates, where there are potential customers of the export versions of the tank.
– High specific performance and headroom liter capacity engine 6TD-2E (specific power of the engine compartment "MBT-M" is 387 l. a. / m³ against 333 and 258 l. a. / m³ respectively, in tanks, "Leopard 2" and "Abrams"), thereby reducing the required amount of MTO, decreases weight and silhouette tank.
– The smaller power losses when using the ejector cooling system of the engine radiator as compared to the fan system. Four-stroke diesel engine, eg, B-92S2 spends up 15 % torque to drive radiator cooling fan in stressful operating conditions, while the ejector cooling system 6TD-2E is much more efficient, responds quickly to changes in ambient temperature, structurally simpler and has no moving parts.
– Modern automatic transmission provides the flexibility and ease of operation at the level of the best Western tanks.
– The possibility of forcing the water barrier to a depth of 5 m, while, as, eg, Equipment for tank crossing water obstacles M1 "Abrams" allows to overcome water obstacles no more 2 meters in depth.
– Equal protection of the tower and a small amount of weakened zones.
– Made of high-strength armor steel to electroslag remelting, that provides resistance to the penetration increment ceteris paribus 10-15 %.
– Modern modular protivotandemnaya dynamic "Doublet" tower defense and body with the stated characteristics to 90 % reflection cumulative ammunition.
– Active Protection Systems "Wart" and "Barrier" counting on the protection of the upper hemisphere or even destruction of subcaliber projectiles.
– Using an ejector cooling system and engine exhaust back, compared with the exhaust to the left or right side, It contributes some reduction in the visibility of the tank in the infrared range, making it difficult to guidance means of detection and destruction with infrared homing and is critical for the survival of the tank on the battlefield. It should be taken into account, that this tool is useless against modern anti-tank type or Javelin Russian Hermes, who use "signature" method for putting on a tank, and ATRA sufficient for guidance only have a characteristic of heated area.
– "Combat" guided weapons system allows you to hit targets at a distance 5,0 km. At distances in excess of 2.5-3.0 km ATGM has advantages over BOPS accuracy hit and armor penetration.
– The presence of the automatic loader increases the real rate on the battlefield and eliminates the human factor (fatigue loader, the complexity of the manual loading when driving fast on rough terrain).
Minuses
– 6TD 2E requires the installation of high-efficiency air pollution control system large, which is associated with the features of a two-stroke engine of the tank (a significant amount of air is to purge cylinders, which increases the total air consumption).
Pictogram voting oppose.svg High oil consumption (7-19 L / 100 km on the dry dirt road, and 4-11 L / 100 km on paved road) and incomplete combustion of combustible mixture creates a very smoky exhaust and toxic.
– To start the engine must employ the systems and electric-heating maslovpryska at an ambient temperature below +5 °C (below -25 ° C using a light oil).
– Lack active suspension, which leads to a decrease in the speed of movement of the tank over rough terrain and a significant drop in the accuracy of shooting in traffic on the road.
– The lack of an automatic delivery system multispectral curtains opaque to infrared and radio, Only a smoke curtain (transparent in the IR range), which is critical against modern anti-tank GOS in the infrared and radio.
– Inadequate protection of the crew from the detonation of ammunition in case of penetration of armor (Ammo taken out from the crew compartment only partially, the tower does not provide for expelling panel, there is no "wet" boeukladki or placing missiles in secure individual containers, as, eg, tanks "Challenger 2" and "Merkava"). None bronekapsuly crew or broneshtorki crew to minimize losses in the case of penetration of armor.
– Absence of stealth technology as a special coating for blocking infrared radiation through the armor, lack of stealth technology to reduce radiozametnosti. Lack of technology "dynamic distortion signature" tank for blocking PTUR, working on the principle of the tank signature capture to make it among the traps and noise.
– The lack of protection against magnetic mines and munitions precision with magnetometric sensors, attacking a tank roof type TOW-2B by distortion of the magnetic field of the tank.
– Lack EW means to engage with ATRA electromagnetic impulse radar guidance own type JAGM, radio command guidance such as chrysanthemum and anti-tank-by-wire as the Bassoon.
– External fuel tanks do not have a reservation and protection against chemical weapons, so the fire tank with external fuel tanks perhaps even from small arms.
– fire control system is obsolete and is considerably inferior to the newest peers, eg, MSA Japanese tank Type 10. EIA BM "Oplot", in particular, It does not provide automatic tracking taken in the sight of a moving target, taking into account the amendments on its defeat.
– Lack of full automated TIUS (Tank management information system), which would unite all electronic tank systems in a single network.
– No CICS (combat information management system), provides automated management of tactical level and allow exchange of military and intelligence on the battlefield between the tanks, other military equipment of different types of troops and control centers in real-time.
– Fire damage is not enough to break through the armor of the next generation of tanks with the equivalent of a reservation 1000 mm.
Critics
It holds very long production cycle also become the target of criticism. So, for three years, Thailand has received five tanks of 49; on November 2016 year in Thailand delivered a 25 machines.
Criticism from the Presidential Administration of Ukraine
According to the President of Ukraine adviser Yury Biryukov advantageous to orient production “stronghold” for export, but for the money modernizirovatT-64 Soviet-release before the "Bulat", as the real conditions of combat operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not allow to take advantage of “stronghold”. Yuri Biryukov, examining estimates "Ukroboronprom", points, significantly more advantageous for the same money to repair and modernize some old Soviet T-64. Biryukova supports the former director of the plant named. Nikolai Belov Malyshev, which indicates, that Soviet T-64 has the same gun and dynamic protection elements. In this technology the repair work allows repair of the Soviet T-64 in a few months, At the same time technological release cycle is a "Hold" - at least 9 months.
