New Syrian "upgrade": T-72МXXUMUM

29
The Syrian army continues to take into account the experience of fighting with militants of ISIL (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) and other anti-government structures. The armored vehicles of the Assad troops are experiencing classic in modern conditions by type of loss losses associated with anti-tank weapons of the mobile infantry opposing it.

Already cited information on placement on standard Soviet canons tanks additional Syrian protection kits that save both the crew itself and the armored vehicles in modern combat. According to "Messenger of Mordovia"The measures taken by the Syrian military to counter the" cluster attack "have affected the classic T-72М1 tanks subjected to the so-called" field modernization ".

New Syrian "upgrade": T-72МXXUMUM


This upgrade of the T-72М1 consists of the installation of the Mirage 2 opto-electronic suppression system. Its radar effect can neutralize anti-tank guided missiles, including US TOW. Another innovation is the Viper-72 thermal imaging sight, which replaced the outdated analog TPN-3-49. Under the conditions of active nightly action by militants who were not shackled at this time of day by intensive attacks by the Russian Air Force, it is able to detect targets at a distance of up to 4 km. Attempts to install Dynamic Protection "Contact" in the field do not look so impressive - there are many unprotected areas around the perimeter of the armor.

          it's hard to be spiritually strong seeing that suicide monkeys are attacking you - can you imagine what kind of motivation their enemies have that they undermine themselves in cars with welded door-hatches

          therefore they scatter at the sight of a machine with a machine gun - who knows, it will explode or it’s just that the steering wheel is jammed

          I think this is a powerful sight - when you see that a person is ready to sacrifice himself to kill you - there are not two, not one of them - and there it’s a stream

          we have described the deeds of surname - and the country doesn’t know the names of brave warriors - and they actually donate every day there - and not for the army to go - or for comrades at a critical moment - I just said goodbye to friends (a lot of videos crying before self-disruption of the Arabs, with a smile on his face) - he sat down and went to explode - caused damage and then nothing came offensive - so exhausted - squeezed - kill a dozen - and there are still those who are ready

          therefore, an Arab who rushes into the embrasure in the name of jihad - I think there’s no problem at all

          In Russia, this is a feat - and there is such meat ...

            But what about other times, when such wars thundered, compared with which the war in Syria is nothing at all?
            Helped kamikaze militaristic Japan? Why weren't jihadmobiles used on the battlefields of World War II?
            Or do you doubt that Hitler, for example, wouldn’t have found specialists to “beat” with psychotropic substances, psychologically use them, and then send a couple, another two thousand suicide bombers into battle?
            Or, they say, this was not done for moral reasons. laughing
            No.
            It’s just that jihad mobiles are effective where the troops are more like bandit formations, where there is no discipline, where they desert in droves and go from one to the other, etc. etc.
            Where it is difficult, for various reasons, to force the soldiers to equip strongholds, instead of the so-called checkpoints, to create engineering barriers (escarpy, counter-eskarpy, ditches, etc.), minefields covered by a fire system.
            In this case, no “mobile” will simply reach the trenches.

          I can agree with you ... Only one BUT ... Do you know how many deserters they had in the army? And take Syrian refugees? Guys are healthy .. The enemy came to their houses, kills and burns .. And what they do ? They run away in thousands. There are, of course, other examples of Deir-Zor, but if there was an opportunity to leave, they would leave everyone and run away .. Something like that. hi

            there was an example in my office. The Arab sat for half a year - he was offended by my taunts. But it is like our opposition

            one in one the same tears about the cooperative lake only Assadovsky and so on

            In general, guano and his words

            This is not my war - Let Putin and Assad share their money. But I’m not going to fight for Assad and his money.

            We have here such a forum floor - which "I will not fight for Putin"

            I painted emoticons - but then I understand that the way it is and it became sad. There are a lot of clowns like that during the war ...

            and before conscience they will smear themselves with the same cooperative and surnames ala Sechin Miller and so on

            they say let Miller fight. And you wonder at the Arabs

                I wanted to add. The wording: "I will not fight for Putin (Miller, Chubais)!" does not stand up to criticism .. And I don’t want to go to fight for the interests of these gentlemen ... But after all, besides them there is also a HOMELAND, Russia .. But for her, even despite her age, she’s ready to defend .. And I’m sure that the vast majority us .. even stuck to the sofa ... will do the same ..

        Well, flyers are surely happy. The hands of the country showed their role as well, and attracted attention. They showed the importance of new electronic equipment (sights, electronic warfare, etc.).
        T-62M Syrians were covered with some ceramic tiles and didn’t take ATGM - the value of additional protection is obvious. So without these “body kits” there is no sense in launching a BTT into battle. "Birdhouses" still surprised - probably inexpensive devices. hi

      The article is valid. And in the comments they discuss not the essence of the article (tank refinement), but the motivation of the combatants. This is offtop.

        "...devices optical-electronic countermeasures ATGM, nicknamed the Russian media "birdhouses", has become a real sensation. Later it became known that in Arabic they are called "Sarab-1", that is, "Mirage-1″ "

        Motorists, I think, will immediately guess from the photo - yes, lenses, xenon.
        "The rocket (TOU) is equipped with a high-intensity thermal beacon serving as a long-wave infrared tracking source (tracer) and a xenon beacon for short-wave tracking."
        IR is used more in the dark or at relatively low temperatures; xenon guidance channel more often during the day; well, the birdhouse interferes with the operator exactly combine the brand with the goal (blinds both day and night; but a car under such a chandelier for a sniper or artillery gunner ...).
