The next batch of T-72B3 entered the First Tank Army


The press service reported that the upgraded T-72B3 are equipped with a more powerful engine in 1130 horsepower, as well as an improved weapon system. The car received a new aiming system with a digital display, as well as a television rear-view camera. The changes also affected the armor of the tank, which is reinforced by onboard screens with dynamic protection modules "Relic", hinged lattice screens, as well as new dynamic protection modules in a "soft" case.

The first tank army with headquarters in Bakovka (Moscow region) was created as part of the Western Military District. It includes the 4-I Kantemirovskaya tank division, the 2-I Taman motorized rifle division, the 6-I armored brigade, the 27-I Sevastopol motorized rifle brigade.

The T-72B3 tank is equipped with a digital chassis control system that provides automated control over the operation of the power plant, transmission, and automatic shift modes.

In February, Colonel-General Oleg Salyukov, commander of the Ground Forces of the Russian Federation, said that the planned integrated complex re-equipment of the troops with modern weapons and military equipment continues.
In constant-readiness military units, more than 50% of modern T-72B3, T-80U and T-90A tanks. Carried out annual purchases of these machines, which are not inferior to the best foreign models in fire and maneuverability, will ensure a share of modern tanks up to 2020% by 70
- said O. Salyukov.

        I do not know ...
        But remember the year 1941. The Red Army was armed with more than 25 thousand tanks.
        Of these, 12 thousand T-26.
        The Nazis attacked with 3,500 tanks and reached the Volga.

            I dare to disagree with you! On June 22, 1941, the USSR had about 23 tanks, of which 000 to 10 vehicles were located in the western military districts. On the same date, the German Wehrmacht had about 000 tanks, of which 15 to 500 were located on the Soviet-German border, I draw your attention to the fact that all our tanks were 6% equipped with crews. Other, the level of training of these crews !!!
            By July 10, 1941, the Red Army lost 11783 tanks, by the end of 1941 - more than 28000 tanks (1731 combat vehicles remained in service). In subsequent years, losses are estimated at more than 20000 cars per year. And in total for the war, according to the statement of the former chief of the General Staff M.A. Moiseenko, about 95000 tanks were lost (at the same time, from July 1, 1941 to June 30, 1945, according to official figures, 95099 tanks and self-propelled guns were released).

            Conclusion: In the first two years of the war, the USSR lost about 4 times more tanks and self-propelled guns than Germany. At the same time, German troops spent most of this time offensive battles, and the German General Staff quite confidently planned offensives on a wide front, having, in fact, not 3 times more tanks than the enemy (“according to science”), but 3 times less.

            Conclusion on the effectiveness of use: the German command used its tank forces 9 times more efficiently than the Soviet. But the final result shows that the Soviet command of the resources was still more.

              It is embarrassing that the combat vehicle is protected worse than the old T-72B?
              No matter how paradoxical it may sound, the protection variant “Contact-1” of the T-72B tank looks ... somehow preferable.
              Installing the remote "Contact-1" on T-72B

              Why are T-72B3 DZ blocks placed with such disregard?

              And the matter is not even in the holes between the blocks, but in the openness of the tower shoulder strap, which on T-72B was covered with an additional belt of “Contact-1” blocks.

              Why is the T-72B3 shoulder strap open to all winds?

              And I wrote the same thing! A tank is a weapon and it will not shoot itself, and the effectiveness of this weapon raises the crew. In the early 40s, there were few experienced tankers, and even if they were only in the Far East.

            A tank is an attack weapon. In police conflicts both in Syria and, if necessary, in Ukraine, it is very effective. For war with a high-tech adversary like the US, tanks are not needed. These are just targets, they need to be hidden away ... But no armor and active defense systems can be saved by tanks .. But with the advent of the T-14, tanks could return to the battlefield if they were an element in the system of Combat Information Systems. But we do not have such systems yet and there are no communication channels with the T-14 ... The T-14 tank is not needed to confront the United States, that is, without the creation of Combat Information Systems it will not be effective, like all others ... Judging in Syria and the Donbass and open press we do not have such systems, and they are not even being developed ...... We are waiting for 41 years in full growth and with the same consequences ....

              On land, our tank troops have NO enemy. You write (sorry) such nonsense about the struggle of our tanks with the American. They will not be able to bring enough of this trash across the ocean, since all this will be drowned on the approach to the continent called Eurasia. And if something does happen, it will not be up to the transport of tanks to Europe. They will have so many problems at home with the restoration of survivors after nuclear strikes. And it will be inevitable if they get into a conflict with Russia.

          The Nazis attacked with 3,500 tanks and reached the Volga.

          As for 25 thousand T 72 at storage bases and in the Troops I doubt that 7144 T 72 B units are available in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. At stake is a purely economic and financial approach.
          I’ll just remind you that the Israelis didn’t let the captured Soviet tanks abandoned by the Arabs, hundreds of captured Soviet T-54 and T-55 tanks were modernized in Israel - tanks called the Tiran-4 were made at Israeli military factories ”And“ Tiran-5 ”, heavy tracked armored personnel carriers“ Ahzarit ”.

          They entered service with the Israeli army or were sold abroad.
          It would be foolish to say that sanctions did not hit the economy and financing of programs, including in the field of rearmament of the RF Armed Forces, so at the moment, the rearmament of tank units with a modernized version of the T 72B3 looks like an absolutely logical step. T 90A entered service, though their number is about 400 pcs. leaves much to be desired, and they are concentrated in the west and south of Russia.
          And then, they promise to put on the T 14 series from year to year, but that's another story. hi

            80 T-80s were bought back from South Korea for the Antarctic group.
            As for the T-14, there will be 100 units (trial production batch) by 2020.

          Now the situation is a little different. If we take the analogies from 1941, then in the warehouses we now have the T-34 mod. 41 (T-72A / B). In parts, until recently, there were the same T-34 arr. 41 and a little T-44 (T-90 - deliveries of 65 tanks per year). Now these T-34 arr. 41 are exchanged for T-34-85 (T-72B3). And they are testing T-54 (T-14). smile
          And the "T-26" (now - T-55, T-62) even with the "furniture maker" were withdrawn from parts and are now disposed of or sent to Syria.

          In any war, in THAT war is no exception, the main thing is not the amount of iron, aircraft, etc., but INTERACTION.
          Interaction without communications, reconnaissance, and transportation cannot be improved. That’s what we had then ..... The defeat of the high command by Comrade Stalin, the fast and the furious in increasing the number of draftees, which affected the dilution of the junior command staff, poor training of the rank and file - these were the reasons for the terrible losses. In the film "Alive and Dead" (of course, this is only the author’s notions, but damn, so close to the truth!), An air battle was shown recently by the former lieutenant and suddenly became a high boss).
          The Germans taught their pilots for years. And in the first 100 fights, they were not allowed to get involved in a fight. At the end of the war, of course, the situation for them changed dramatically. The results - our superheroes Kozhedub, Pokryshkin shot down 60-65 (I don’t remember exactly) planes, and Erich Hartmann - 352. When I first read this, for me these 65 became a completely different amount. SUCH knocked ours.

          Where is the droushka?

          According to the Institute of Military History of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the work "Combat and strength of the USSR armed forces during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. Statistical Bulletin No. 1 (June 22, 1941)"

          T-26 data:

          Total: 8747 of them
          1st category (new, the fly did not sit) - 951
          2nd category (serviceable, in operation) - 6436
          3rd category (required repair. In the environment. Workshops) - 522
          4th category (required rem. At the factory) - 838

          Needless to say, the main breakdown of that time is the chassis. Therefore, from the number 8747 we subtract the 4th cat. and half 3rd.

          Total serviceable tanks, according to an optimistic estimate, was 7648.
          Further, counting on “heads” is completely meaningless - a lot of circumstances hindered effective counteraction:
          - Soviet districts were not deployed - there were no corny crews for all cars.
          - German aviation was in the air - Soviet was practically neutralized
          - the orders of the General Staff forced the mechanized corps to make large transitions, and the chassis of the same KV-1/2 was very weak. Up to half of all cars were simply lost on maneuvers.

          It is pointless to measure in parrots ...

          And the Nazis almost reached Moscow. But in December of the 41st, they rolled back to 150 km.

        Today in the active forces and in storage in the arsenals of the Russian army there are, according to various sources, the order of 21 000 – 22 000 tanks. Formally, as the official website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation speaks about this, the arsenal of domestic tank troops is three tank models: T-72, T-80 и T-90.
        The Ministry of Defense does not give official data on the number of tanks of each model, but, according to independent sources, the total number of vehicles of all three models reaches 13 000 – 14 000 piecesbecause

        Main tank T-72 Ural. Number of tanks in service: about 2000 units (approximately 7500 pieces are in storage)

      Because the T-90 for the same money will be three times less. We’ll deal with the Soviet legacy in parts (T-72A / B) - it will be possible to think about new cars. smile
      Moreover, there is already a T-72B4.

      Nonsense ... the T-72B3 is a much better option than the T-90. Several times cheaper, but not much inferior in performance. Personally, I am very glad that before the start of mass production of Almaty, the basis will not be the 90s, but precisely the B3rd! good

      The situation is like this. The President set the task of modernizing the army to 70% with modern weapons until 20. Since this year, the budget of the Moscow Region has been cut differently from 5 to 27 percent, but no one has removed the task. How should the MO solve this problem? That's right, by modernizing obsolete weapons to a modern level instead of purchasing the latest technology. They do it right or not, we don’t know, because we do not have complete intelligence of the plans of the probable adversary.

      Not better. The same amount of funds will be spent on one Armata as on three to five T-72 upgrades. But the T-72 is quite a decent piece of iron, which today has no enemy. Especially considering their number and the fact that any enemy, if it is the size of Ukraine, will simply be erased by conventional weapons, if it is the size of NATO, it will be destroyed by tactical nuclear weapons. Everything is done with minimal cost. When the potential enemy has something better than the T-72, and this is five to eight years, we will have a sufficient number of these super tanks.

        at 2013 prices
        The representative of UVZ emphasized that of the 52 million rubles that the T-72Б-3 upgrade costs, about 30 million go to the tank overhaul - the machines are completely disassembled, inspected all parts and replaced outdated with new ones. The remaining money is spent on modernization - the purchase and installation of new equipment and other complexes that the customer chose.

    Of course, the modernization of the B3 was carried out on the basis of the principle "the wealthier, the happier." Apparently, the customers were sure that the theater of operations could only be oversaturated with RPG-7 (or its analogues) and no more. Events in Syria completely refute this. And after some videos from there, the modernization of the B3 generally looks very faded.
    Quote: UVB
    I am not a tanker, but even I can see that half of the frontal projection of the tower is not protected by dynamic protection. Is this not sabotage?

    The fact is that the need to develop a universal module for protecting equipment from various ATGMs has long overdue. And we have either nothing at all, or fixation on the “Arena” and its analogs.
    In 2009 The Scientific Research Institute of Computing Tools and Control Systems developed a remote control system for the T-72. This development would be just right for the B3. Such a tank can be used with or without a crew. Now, in the shortest time, it is necessary to develop a universal complex of optoelectronic suppression that could be installed, for example, on the T-72, on the BMP1 or on the new Typhoons.

    Otherwise, all these B3 will be burned up in the first serious battle, and the money for modernization will simply be thrown into the wind, or rather into the fire.
