Kazakhstan buys in Belarus fire tanks GPM-72

At the international military exhibition KADEX-2018, held in Astana, representatives of Kazakhstan and Belarus signed a contract and a memorandum on the development of military-technical cooperation, the portal reports News.21.by.

According to the representative of the Belarusian military-industrial committee Vladimir Lavrenyuk, the contract concluded with Kazspecexport provides for the supply to the military department of Kazakhstan of GPM-72 tracked fire engines on a base chassis tank T-72. Lavrenyuk did not specify the amount of the transaction and the number of cars ordered.

The parties also signed a memorandum on military-technical cooperation and discussed the sale of unused military equipment.

The GPM-72 fire engine was created on the basis of the T-72 tank by the efforts of the 140 engineers of the repair plant and Pozhsnab LLC. It is designed to extinguish fires and conduct rescue operations at arsenals, warehouses and ammunition storage bases.

According to the developers, a powerful fire-fighting equipment complex is enclosed in a single GPM-72 package. It is equipped with a tank for 10 thousand liters of water and a thousand-liter tank for a foaming agent, high-tech fire monitors, an autonomous diesel engine to drive the pump and other fire equipment of 23's.

GMP-72 is also equipped with an aquamast (6 m), with which you can put out the fire due to shelter. On the mast mounted remotely controlled trunk.

Only business, nothing personal. Then it is clear.

Vitaly, we learn from the mistakes of others. Something I did not hear about the fires in our ammunition depots. These machines are primarily intended for this. Over there recently, again, you and the shells exploded due to fires.
What nonsense about locusts and zhuzes.

Why burn in Kazakstan? Steppes?

You are a steppe fire, have you seen ?? The terrible thing ... A fire tank, in this case is useless.

Dauren welcome !!!
Without Meehan, it would be boring Who else from such a "fly", such an "elephant" made ?? It can be seen strongly, your border guards pressed ...

[Kasym]

Salam, Stas!
He admitted that he came here (in the Republic of Kazakhstan) to poach. Apparently he killed his livestock, now he has taken on us. . Our mnts and border guards do not give him peace to shoot calmly, but to stifle fish - that’s always complaining about them. . Apparently it is often necessary to buy off instead of thundering for such deeds. And yes, it doesn’t get bored. How freezes - at least stand, at least fall. He loves our zhuzes and families, as much as horror - whatever comments about KZ, he’ll certainly write for it ...
Something else is being agreed with the RB on the Su-25 - they write that there is no contract yet, but ... Belarusians are happy (understand from what). They sent their version of the upgraded T-72 to testing. They write that when fired at a side projection from anti-tank systems, 80% of the blows withstood. They write that for spare parts for T-72 and other BTTs from the Russian Federation, they all decided - there were problems there. With the new version of the IL-76, they decide something - it seems like a couple of units in 20-21 .. Due to the lack of transport, they have already reached the Chinese, the purchase of the European S-295 is in progress. The Israelis say that they are satisfied with the exhibition and that they have fulfilled all plans, they want of course more - though it’s not clear what plans they say, but something is connected with the electronic optics on the T-72. The Turks woke up with their armored personnel carriers (they didn’t really want to localize the production) - but it seems to me that this “train” from South Africa has left. Something is said for the E145M with ATGMs (light helicopter, Eurocopter - they are collected from us). But of course, the main one that is welded is Russia.

Here, finally !!!
Burn Vital !!!! These Kazakhs, already tortured by their news .. Atu them !! By instructed, you know the border posts ... They’re not allowed to live, to normal marriages and contrabandos, like you

Quote: Ded-Makar

The main thing for them is to protect gas and oil and uranium deposits (they were all concentrated there))))) All Kazakhstan jazz!

Exactly, exactly, everything is there ... They are sitting on a uranium mine And look, feel normal

Quote: Ded-Makar

To the delight of the United States and China .. hehe

And mattresses are like joys ... And you don’t need to catch on the steppes ... All the zhuzes are there ... In the mine. Well, a little bit, on Mangyshlak
All thought, who will begin to pry the first ?? AND....
Guessed right away ..he hehe

For me, it is necessary to soak so tightly those cattle that kill animals for entertainment and not in the hunting season.

Kazakhstan buys in Belarus fire tanks GPM-72

And thank God

[Beby]

The fact that Kazakhstan will have a GPM-72 is good.
However, it is interesting why the GPM-72, and not the SPM (special fire truck)?

Can anyone have any versions?

[The_X_Factor]

Version - no denyuh

[seregatara1969]

the sense of the big red piece of iron without a competent driver and operator is zero! get stuck in the first ditch (experience) and the idea is a class!

[Kasym]

So our tankers were known throughout the Union. And in the tank biathlon we are not far behind you, in prizes often. I remember Shoigu personally approached our driver after biathlon and offered to serve in the RF Armed Forces - I really liked his tank driving. “We will fight together anyway” - I only heard in reply.

[_Ugene_]

GMP-72 like Ukrainians did. And, I understood the Ukrainians GMP-72 and Belarusians made GPM-72, you won’t notice the difference right away

[svp67]

I would not like to ride such bumps and slopes in such a "panzer", and even with incomplete "water tanks" ... I can imagine how it "sausages" ....

Only in your dreams. With such a powerful superstructure and if God forbid the tanks are not full, then it will swing very hard, so you can forget about the normal movement on the slopes, its field of activity is smooth platforms without large deviations, and these are, first of all, INDUSTRIAL objects, AERODROMY, by the way, since 2017, one such stands at the airport of Minsk, RAILWAY UNITS, DATABASES and FUEL STORAGE WAREHOUSES and the warehouses indicated by you with arsenals.
The combat turret was replaced by a permanently fixed fireproof bunker.
In the bunker there is a tank for 10000 liters of water, a 1000-liter tank for foaming agent, high-tech fire monitors, a stand-alone diesel engine to drive a powerful pump and another 23 items of various fire equipment.


In the left compartment there is an autonomous diesel engine with a pump, and in the right compartment - fire fighting equipment. The autonomous engine is the 177-horsepower Deutz, and the pump it drives is the German Johstadt with a capacity of 4000 l / min.

In the right compartment is the control panel for an autonomous pump motor.

Getting to him is not a problem. On the chassis of the tank chassis, you can quickly and easily climb on a specially attached ladder.

As you can see, the pump, an autonomous engine, and, indeed, all the most important fire-fighting components at GPM-72 are from major global suppliers. Gun trunks are no exception.
The front monitor is a product of the famous American company Akron Brass Company in its genre.

There are two gun mounts at GPM-72. The second gun mount, also Akron Brass, is mounted on a retractable mast and is equipped with a video camera. The lifting "all-seeing" fire monitor barrel is the main "weapon" of the tank.
Using an aquamount, the GPM-72 can extinguish fires from shelters (earthen ramparts) without exposing itself to great risk. This is true, for example, in ammunition depots. It can also extinguish from above something that is difficult to get close to - for example, a burning tank car, if direct access is blocked by a nearby train. Or stacks of lumber on a wood exchange because of a fence. Lots of options.

The lifting of the aquamount is pneumatic. Compressed air is supplied through the gearbox from the chassis pneumatic system. There are additional receivers, so the mast can be extended even when the engine of the base tank is turned off.

Do not understand what is written?
And this is what if not confirmation of what I wrote-

its field of activity is flat areas without large deviations, and this is primarily INDUSTRIAL objects, AIRDOMS, by the way, since 2017, one such site has been located at the Minsk airport, RAILWAY UNITS, DATABASES and STORAGE FACILITIES of fuel and lubricants and the warehouses indicated by you with arsenals.

What are the slopes on airfields and arsenals ?? Have you even seen the warehouse of the RAV regiment ??
And you saw it live. this unit, when carrying out fire works? No? Then what are you talking about. If this was used at the Mozdok arsenal?

[svp67]

More than once, and immediately remember them in the Far East .... Have you ever seen them?

No, but the presence of about 12 tons of unstable mass, above the hull already says a lot?

What do you want to call? From 62 SME warehouses in the GSVG to the division in Khankala and arsenals in Mozdok and somewhere else, enough?

He says that you forget that in such constructions water does not hang out like in a tin can without dampers, see at least the construction of tanks http://helpiks.org/7-3100.html

Not enough, I asked you about warehouses in the Far East, in the same Primorye, in the hills. Have you seen them?

Thank you for the information, but I personally get acquainted with the design of fire tanks, though I know the car and how they behave on the roads, with different fillings. But they have less water, and most importantly, that they are much lower than this.

in the Far East

We have the whole country only the Far East? And Transbaikalia does not fit?

Where will the metacentre of this machine be, what roll is permissible? Is it really five degrees and somersaults? Who would take this into service if she has such a misfortune in design? What is the mass of the base, unlike the car, which one? Tons of commercials 25-30 no less. What kind of effort or roll should I give out to flip this a car?

[svp67]

Quote: badens1111

Why do I focus on the Far East, and especially in Primorye, where these warehouses are mainly located in Sopki, and this imposes special requirements for fire fighting equipment

Quote: badens1111

About "somersaults" this is your assumption, I did not talk about it. I say that when driving in such conditions, the car will swing very much and when passing through irregularities, it will peck a lot ...

Quote: badens1111

Well, "MSTA-S" was accepted, although moving along the tank road in it is still a pleasure ... it shakes cool in the tower.

Personal impressions of the trip to this SPG. But by the way, the mechanics there get more than the fur-water of the tank.

For me, yes, it will. But here svp67 (Sergey) in full confusion ..

[Phil77]

Well, they are buying and what? I'm glad for Belarus. Is this really important news? We are the third party here.

[Kasym]

With Russia, most of the contracts at this exhibition. Including spare parts for the T-72.

[Tests]

And the BSSR, in its own skin, as they say, experienced the delights of a fire in May 1984, at a bomb depot near Bobruisk. Our air division then there was a regiment. With our fire brigade, the usual AA-40 (131) based on the ZIL-131 and several water-jet washing machines “brushes” based on the ZIL-130 from the airfield company started a fire on the Machulishi airfield. And vehicles with conscripts drove near Bobruisk from Minsk after one of the civilian firefighters (remember firefighters in blue uniform with buttonholes, as in the Red Army until 1943, and not firefighters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in green uniform with epaulets, like the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR) wounded a fragment of the spine and those civilian firefighters refused to extinguish a burning bomb warehouse. Well, then there were no fire tanks at the bomb shelters of the Smolensk Army in the BSSR (neither in Bobruisk, nor in Baranovichi, nor in Machulishchi), although they were made in the Ukrainian SSR ... Let the Belarussian brothers do fire tanks, a thing is necessary in army warehouses and in chemical factories. While the "Uranus" fire robots get to all the warehouses ...
