Media: assault tank based on T-72 will be an important addition to the latest "Armata"

128
"Uralvagonzavod" developed an assault tank based on the T-72, which is expected to be much more effective than other models in combat in the condition of the city, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reference to Defence.ru.





It is noted that "the idea of ​​creating an assault tank "not new, but it became relevant again after studying the experience of street fighting in Syria." The developers have focused on increasing the survivability of the machine.

“If we carefully analyze the latest armed conflicts in the world, it turns out that fighting is conducted mainly in cities, no one today is fighting in an open area, because it is, in fact, instant destruction,” the newspaper quotes the deputy director general of UVZ Vyacheslav Khalitov.

The first thing that catches your eye is the presence of a modernized tank dozer bucket, which is designed to overcome the debris, and at the same time is an additional protection from a frontal attack.

“Also, the durability of the machine is enhanced by on-board screens with dynamic protection, additional reservations and anti-cumulative grids. The turret of the anti-aircraft machine gun was covered with side screens with bulletproof glass in order to reduce the risk for the tank commander, ”the newspaper writes.

In addition, the tank’s firepower was increased - the “upgraded 125-mm 2A46M gun was modified for firing rockets, an automatic loader was installed, a more efficient fire control system (FCS) with a multichannel gunner Sosna sight”.

And although now "the emphasis is on the newest tank Armata, the UVZ believes that an incomparably simpler and relatively cheap fighting vehicle for fighting in the city should be an important addition to the long-awaited T-14," the newspaper concludes.

          C'mon - there’s one BULDZER BUCKET worth what - apparently the author of the article is not familiar with the words dump and excavator in principle.
          On the tank - albeit beautiful - but, as usual, half of them didn’t please -
          on the cheekbones of the tower, the bald patches of half a square meter were left out of habit, probably because of it, there were holes on the sides of the gun. The lower part of the tower, in the shoulder strap, is also not covered in any way. (Hello Chechnya)
          The birdhouse is gorgeous, but in front, there isn’t even a small shield - hello from the machine gunner - there’s no need for a sniper either. And if the commander sits from the top on the tower - so generally sticks to the chest. The roof of the tower was also not completely covered by DZ. In general, it turned out better than b3, but not completely. Or is it they on purpose, leave themselves the field, for further modernization ...

      To be serious, only two armies in the twentieth century really took the city by storm - it was fascist and Soviet, so there was some experience. And after puffs of Stalingrad ...
      There was also a second experiment again ... in Afghanistan, when our military noted that the guns could not rise in the vertical plane enough to provide support and to save the convoy it was more profitable to sweep the black one despite the possible survivors and tick.
      I think it was similar in Chechen too
      So it's better late than never.

      That's honest * referring to old projects * Everything new is well forgotten old. Take the same IS-7 (which’s why Votka can say thank you — so much for knowing the models of tanks. Well, so far they have not turned into science fiction) which could become a real prototype (if not the founder of a full-fledged) tank for fighting in cities.

Means of destruction and tactics of their application are changing, so only real combat experience can help in counteracting such tactics. No one canceled the observation and analysis, but, as they say, they give two not broken for one beaten. In this regard, the experience gained by our pilots is simply irreplaceable. I would like to see the application of our latest developments on the ground, but I understand that this is unacceptable due to heavy losses. The Americans have accumulated a lot of experience in this, and their losses are relatively small. (Adjusted for the opponent, of course). We, as always, are breastfeeding for embrasure. I exaggerate, of course, but the life of a fighter is the cornerstone of victory in any conflict, and thank God that it began to reach some.

      I believe that the blade on the tank should be installed in series, and not as an option. This is a protection element, an element for changing the profile and a very necessary tool. Whoever at least once tried to dig a trap for equipment will understand

If they would REALLY make an assault tank, and not sniff the wunderwaals hastily stitched together, then, as we have already discussed with Lopatov, on a tank chassis with additional armor they would put a "troika" based on Vienna a closed position to throw with throw-over fire, and even to the "Kitolovu" they would add some ATGM of the "Competition" type, by 120mm.

        Absolutely agree. Long barrel 125mm for an assault tank is not needed.
        "Vienna" is much more useful. But it may be advisable to have a second, heavy assault tank with a short-barreled 152mm howitzer or 160mm mortar as the main armament, so that if necessary, you can quickly fold the brick / concrete building.

    The most important thing about this wunderwaffle was never done. This, if I may say so, "assault tank", which is supposedly adapted for combat in the city, did not receive a gun with a high elevation angle. And the 2A46 power for these battles is excessive. There are no distances of 1,5-2 km in the city and there are no armored targets for such a weapon. In the city, a 152-mm gun with low ballistics and separate loading is more needed, capable of demolishing a high-rise building with one shot and transferring a shell to a neighboring courtyard. And such a vehicle should be protected much better than an ordinary tank, first of all from the roof and sides. In general, what happened can be called like this - "And God is not a candle and not a devil poker."

      Most of all, this sample looks like a not entirely successful attempt to somehow adapt the "ancient" T-72, which is available in large quantities around the world, and in particular in Syria, where the main urban battles are now taking place for action in populated areas.
      They should not show him at exhibitions, but send him to the real "hell" in Syria where he can confirm all his advantages (if any) and disadvantages and not "drive" this "miracle" through the pages

          Drones, this is just serious - identifying hotbeds of resistance, destroying firing points from remotely controlled drones. To destroy a firing point in the house, it is not necessary to drive a tank, you can also use a hand grenade launcher of sufficient power.

            The simplest situation is a machine gun nest 200 meters away. To get into it from an RPG at such a range will be difficult, especially if the shooter has only eyes. It’s impossible to get closer, the guys on the other side should not be considered idiots. And the tank will put the shell accurately, and if and if it misses, then plus or minus 2-3 meters is not critical. As they say, the accuracy of the hit is compensated by the power of the projectile.

      The most important thing about this wunderwaffle was never done. This, if I may say so, "assault tank", which is supposedly adapted for combat in the city, did not receive a gun with a high elevation angle. And the power of 2A46 is excessive for these battles. There are no distances of 1,5-2 km in the city and there are no armored targets for such a weapon. In the city, a 152-mm gun with low ballistics and separate loading is more needed, capable of demolishing a high-rise building with one shot and transferring a shell to a neighboring courtyard.

      Here I am absolutely with you! The classic 152mm short-barrel would be much more convenient. At this time, the Syrian tankers, with their high-ballistic long-barrels, are forced to go on direct fire, thereby substituting the same shots and RPGs under the return fire, and the howitzer would allow throwing through obstacles hiding from the return fire, at the same time, the 152-mm caliber is already sufficient, which throw heavy enough landmines to defeat as many enemy manpower as possible or to demolish uncomfortable buildings.
      In the same Syria, self-propelled gunners on acacia trees did not weakly punish barmaley, landmines weighing 47 kg simply mixed their small remains with land and fragments of buildings.

    For street battles, the simultaneous use of several types of vehicles is necessary:
    - reconnaissance, up to 50 cm long, unarmed, equipped with video cameras on manipulators, for observation from different shelters;
    - machine gun - grenade launcher 40mm - cannon 30mm robotic lightly armored tracked platform (such as Uranus-9 without missiles) with descending rear rails (tubes), for self-engagement of scouts (from the previous paragraph), their transportation and charging;
    - a robotic machine on a T-72 chassis armed with an automatic 57mm gun, grenade launcher, machine guns, equipped with a radio-optical system for automatically guiding a machine gun to destroy dangerous mines, shells, missiles;
    - T-14 for fire support and destruction of heavy armored vehicles;
    - T-15 for transportation of ammunition, infantry, doctors, technicians to the battlefield.
    This is for an active enemy fire zone.
    Outside of this zone there can be cars (with anti-fragmentation armor), self-propelled guns, MLRS, evacuation-guard, staff, remote control operators of robots, ambulance, communications, short-range air defense, repair and service, ....

    As correctly noted in the comments, for urban battles, you need a cardinal strengthening of the defense of the sides, stern, turret, a significant increase in air defense, a larger caliber gun for the HE, anti-aircraft machine gun with remote control and so on.

    “If you carefully analyze the latest armed conflicts in the world, it turns out that hostilities are mainly in cities, no one today is fighting in open areas, because this is, in fact, instant destruction,” the newspaper quoted the deputy general director of UVZ Vyacheslav Halitov.]
    Of course, it is true that the general director, tank nuzhon, says. bully But where is the fighting he is talking about? Right. in the desert regions of the world (the Middle East, North Africa), where since ancient times, all hostilities were conducted around, or from wells with water. Currently, these are cities around which there is the same desert (it has not gone anywhere), respectively, and the war is about, or for them. Because it is problematic, or rather impossible, to create a solid line of defense in the desert, well equipped from an engineering point of view, since the most important (if not the main) source of the effectiveness of a bd. troops is the presence of simple water. Here some "zealous" in our community (and we know them) will immediately want to give me a "poddh" citing the example of one small but proud state in those parts. To which I proactively answer - yes, I agree. But! This is possible in a small state the size of our Vologda, or Moscow region. And for a possible theater of operations on the territory of our beloved Motherland, taking into account our geographical conditions, there can be only a continuous line of defense. This is the only way to control the territory that belongs to you, which you defend, only this way, for example, can you fight saboteurs, spies, and other accomplices in your front-line and operational rear. And you don’t need to tell me that I have read The Moment of Truth and have seen enough In August 44! Not a single NATO country, and others, has not canceled sabotage and reconnaissance and other subversive activities in the front-line, operational rear of the troops, as well as in the deep rear of a potential enemy! It is clear that the general director of Uralvagonzavod wants to work for the Middle East and the rest of the East - you understand the currency! However, we will and must defend the entire territory of our country, and not fight in cauldrons and besieged cities - we have already gone through this, but ... won! soldier

    "In addition, the tank's firepower has been increased -" the modernized 125-mm 2A46M cannon has been modified for firing missiles, an automatic loader has been installed, and a more efficient fire control system (FCS) with a Sosna gunner's multi-channel sight has been installed. " Wasn't it possible to shoot missiles and automatic loaders before? Such a technique is needed and when else. And the experience of Chechnya probably showed this, and probably in the Fatherland. For example, amers have such special tanks. And a gun of a larger caliber and power so that debris can be smashed and not just with a bulldozer. What else have you forgotten? As an option to modernize old equipment and as an export option. But with the T-14, a machine on the armata platform should work. It was in this that the idea was that there was a single platform and not chase after different parts if something happened. Do not mix techniques that are not intended for each other. On the extreme, hang the T72 with the same buns as the reinforcement. Why is this not being done? In the same way, the machine gun can be made with a turret, but it can be fixed as in the Modern style and without bothering with increased calibers. Install cameras around the perimeter and install LCD screens and an anti-aircraft machine gun control panel. What else is there ... And this DZ ka tower confuses me very much. Bigger gaps between blocks. T90 ms in this regard is more protected, like even the tower is covered from the sides by dz. And here for urban battles Bochina is naked. They hung up the grills. The cavity law exists. It is there that he will pretend if that.

    If there is nowhere to put the T-72 tanks, then as a proposal from an economic point of view, it would be possible to develop a new turret and remote sensing system. With a short-barreled 152 mm cannon and a machine gun-grenade launcher system (KPVT/KORD-AGS) placed in the turret. If we look at the development of an artillery tank radically, then it is also desirable to increase the angles of inclination and the height of the hull, to increase the internal volume and ease of maintenance of the systems, including the mortar can also be placed in the turret, similar to the Merkava, and a drone can be added. If you're going to make a device, do it this way. I propose to name the promising artillery tank "Nail Puller" winked
