Russian TCP in Syria once again confirmed their reliability

Amphibious transporters (PTS) of the Syrian army continue to transfer manpower and equipment across the Euphrates River. Despite their considerable age, these machines demonstrate high performance in overcoming water obstacles, unpretentiousness and reliability, writes Messenger of Mordovia.

A photo of this car with a UAZ on board appeared on the Internet. The transporter is capable of transporting heavier vehicles, such as the ZIL-131, Ural-4320, and others, with a total weight of up to 10 tons. Soviet designers put in the transporters a huge potential, which will allow them to successfully perform their assigned combat missions for a long time to come.

The car is equipped with a 350 hp engine, its speed on the water surface is up to 11 km / h, on land - up to 42 km / h. The PTS weight is about 17 tons.

Currently, Omsk designers have developed the PTS-4 amphibian. “The new car is better protected, it has an armored control compartment. Now the fighters will not need to reinforce the front of the vehicle with sandbags, which should be protected from bullets and shrapnel, ”notes the author of the material, Lev Romanov.

There is also a remote-controlled 12,7 mm machine gun. Ammunition - 400 rounds. The engine power of the new car has increased to 840 hp, and the weight has also increased to 33 tons. The speed on water was up to 15 km / h, on land - up to 60 km / h.

Here is the question, what is the article about? That the machine created for the transportation of goods of a certain mass and size fulfilled its tasks? It would be strange if it hadn’t fulfilled ... And tomorrow they will write that in Syria with a bayonet-knife, a SAA fighter killed a babakh and this proves his lack of analogues in the world? .... Is it direct zrad ... or overthinking? ... neighbors already, by golly ....

Not only tanks and missiles work for the result, but all possible means of support. And don't belittle their role. Tell us more about the experience of the rear, psychological support, the work of doctors.

It was a very correct decision to send PTSs to Syria, they have been in service since 1962, then it will be possible to give this old thing to the Syrians - let them drive them through the desert.

The news is normal. Any obstacle wider than 3m and deeper than 1,5m for a tank and other military equipment cannot be surmounted if they are not waterfowl. The snorkel is suitable for tanks if the bottom of the river is solid and there is a gentle slope into the river, so without engineering support tanks, artillery and everything else are nothing more than toys for the training ground - a journalist to scare a potential enemy. In any TD there are PMPs, bridgelayers, barrage machines, track paving machines (armored bulldozers), mine clearing machines, technical assistance. There are no less of them than combat vehicles.
