0005237: T-90AM maingun

Notes
(0009792) da12thMonkey (administrator) 2019-08-27 12:56	2A46M-5, was the only gun listed in Rosoboronexport brochures for T-90MS, and Russian T-90AM seems no different in that regard so far. Model in RHS is based on the older T-90AM pre-production type (earlier than the T-90MS configuration), rather than the latest one. But there are no pictures that indicate that the latest Russian prototype for T-90AM has 2A82-1M either. The gun seen inside the latest tank here is certifiably a 2A46 https://youtu.be/J2S1OAzckeM?t=878 [^] Compared to the larger breech of 2A82-1M here https://youtu.be/l62leOBoWPE [^] Feeling is that 2A82-1M's breech and autoloader is far too big to fit inside the T-90 turret ring without significant modification to the hull. It's probably a matter of mistranslation, that people have assumed T-90AM has the same gun as T-14. Rather than an improved version of its original gun, autoloader and FCS made with better production methods, software and technologies that came about through T-14's development.
