Ballistic computer

Input of the angle of sight

Semi-automatic Automatic

Input of the lateral lead angle

Manual Automatic

Taking into account the parallax for the gun and machine gun

No Automatic

Culculation of angles of sight and lead angles for the coaxial machine gun

No Automatic, with allowance for cross wind

Fire-gating

it is provided with the help of mechanical contacts it is provided by the computer with possibility of adjusting it
Allowance for the deviation of the current conditions of firing from normal No the following factors are taken in account: cross wind, cant, angular and linear velosities of target, target position angle, air temperature, air pressure, charge temperature, gun bore wear
Allowance for individual angles of jump No Yes
Target hit probability when firing at a TANK-type target at a distance of 2000 m 0.2... 0.5 0.55... 0.8
Accuracy of the target indication system (mrad) 40 2... 4
Fire control override system No yes; the commander is provided with capability of firing the main gun and coaxial machine gun on the move in the day-time and at night, even if the gunner's main sight is faulty
Automated hydropneumatic cleaning of glasses of the sights and observation devices only possibility of cleaning the main sight is envisaged, the proportioning being performed manually possibility of cleaning all the sights (including those of the commander) is envisaged, proportioning being performed automatically by means of a timer  (0.2 s)
