Field modernization of the Syrian IMR-2

The Syrian military continues to improve the protection of their equipment in the field. This time, a lashing machine (IMR-2) hit the lens, taking part in a recent operation in the Eastern Guta area, reports Messenger of Mordovia.

“On the materials that appeared on the web, you can see that the car received, in fact, a full range of protection. On the sides were mounted massive spaced metal screens of considerable thickness. Anti-cummer grids have been installed above them, which also cover the stern. Additional protection appeared on the tower, ”writes the author of the article, Lev Romanov.

The massive dozer blade makes the machine even more secure. At the same time, IMR-2 easily destroys the obstacles in its path.

"Created on the basis of the main combat tank T-72 IMR-2 has a ballistic reservation. It is intended for making passages in the destruction zone, laying roads on rough terrain, as well as arranging crossings through ditches, embankments, etc., ”the publication recalls.

The machine is equipped with a dozer blade and a telescopic boom with a gripper-manipulator with a load capacity of 2 tons.

Whatever you do to survive.

They started up such passages in front of the walls. It turns out more efficient than a tank. And tested by practice

The pepper is clear, which is better. Each technique has its own tasks.

do such passages ahead

We have all repeatedly seen a video where those or these (and how, their barricades must also be dismantled) build protective walls from the same old buses and other equipment, and this car will make a passage at a time.
With regard to additional protection, so it is understandable, everyone wants to live.
The eternal struggle of shell and armor.

By the way, they also use the so-called "serpent gornych" demining system to destroy fortifications.

hellish spectacle - the house demolishes with the barmales

The capacity of the manipulator depends on the reach of the boom. 2 tons - at maximum reach, at minimum - 12 (or 14, if memory does not change). Unique car. Pines with the root can be torn.

The manipulator is generally impressive !!!

In extreme conditions, the brains begin to work intensively, giving out to the mountain simple, but necessary to save life thoughts.

Syrians from the 4th division not only IMR-2 with additional reservation showed but also a new booking option for the old T-72

[Eustace]

Yes, this is not BAT-M or PKT, but much more effective.

[Blue fox]

That's all right, but recently there was material on VO about IMR-3M at Army 2016, the basic security of it corresponds to the original Syrian IMR before this collective farm tuning. Should it happen that in the near future we will also quickly learn from the experience of the Syrians? Maybe it’s worth it now to bring the protection of front-line engineering machines to a level close to MBT?

[Muzzle]

I wonder why the Syrians do not hang sandbags, between armor and trellised screens, against godfathers. ammunition

[An60]

Probably because of the weight.
