At the exercises in the South Military District involved armored train

In the exercises of the Southern District for the logistics of the troops was involved armored train "Amur", reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

The special train passed along the floating bridge across the Volga, the length of which was about 370 meters. This structure during the maneuvers was deployed by engineers of the pontoon-bridge railway battalion.

In carrying out the tasks assigned, the crew of the armored train successfully repelled the attack of the conditional enemy. During the training battle was used weapon and twin guns ZU-23-2 mounted on the latest platform.

According to the newspaper, currently only the Russian army continues to use armored trains. This is due to the fact that the country has extensive railway lines that must be defended.

Such equipment, for example, was successfully used during the armed conflict in the North Caucasus. Then, in addition to anti-aircraft guns, BMP-2 and Tanks T-62.

After the conflict was resolved, armored trains were withdrawn from the region and mothballed. Earlier, the media reported that special trains will be removed from service. However, until now “Amur” and its brother “Baikal” regularly take part in exercises held in the territory of the Southern Military District.

Something like that probably.

[conservative]

if you put a module from the TOP in the train, there will be a topic.
Although the armored train is a controversial decision of course.

It is necessary to conduct exercises with BZHRK "Well done"

[Wedmak]

Well, yes, now the artillery armored train is a little off topic. The composition of the train can change - here's modularity. You can put anything you want on the platforms - TORs, Pantsiri, Iskanders, even probably the S-400 will stand, Caliber, Onyx, MLRS ... The option with a surveillance radar will also be in demand. With our train length, this is an excellent reinforcement element for any group. Arrived, spread his "ears", turned on weapons - try sunxia.

They survived a rebirth in the course of the aggravated situation on the Soviet-Chinese border in the late 60s .. They put old tank towers and many other things in Ura ..

[Altona]

I have a cult attitude towards armored trains, for the vastness of our country they seem to be an eternal weapon.

[Mr Credo]

Well, not a damn armored train! The locomotive is completely without reservation! I represented the modern armored train a little differently. And there probably should be two locomotives, in case of damage. More like a repair staff with a cover similar.

[Smoked]

Well, you can like this

[Zhurba]

In winter, it is very cold in Svobodny.
L / s there is exclusively gouging.
B / n - regularly., Dyscilin - about.
There was a reinforced steam locomotive, and this is instead of a "dumb" one.

[Sofa expert]

I will never forget the dining room in this team :)

[Double major]

Something, he somehow looks rather frail ... But what about the locomotive, there weren’t enough sheets?

[rammjager]

The campaign was blinded from what it was. The last two platforms didn’t sew to ... a sleeve. On the first too, something is not observed weapons. In general, some ersatz. Typical shushpanzer :)

It's just that this is not all BEPO - the Amur includes 13 units. In full force, he would simply drown the bridge.

The equipment was removed from the platforms, PMSM, for the same reason. And it is apparently pulled by a "black" diesel locomotive.
By the way, on the first and last weapon platforms it should not be. Because it is a control platform - a railway analogue of mine trawls to combat push mines. These weight platforms are most often loaded with rails and sleepers (at the same time, material for repairing the track is always nearby).

In the exercises of the Southern District on material and technical support of the troops, the Amur armored train was involved

TASS ........... 16 Aug. 2016 year
Military railway workers during the exercises in the Southern Military District (Southeast Military District) erected a floating bridge over the Volga - a military train and an armored train drove along a structure about 400 meters long.

[Zomanus]

Funny of course. Any ATGM will deal with this train very quickly and easily.
But for the exercises and window dressing, of course it will.

[Wedmak]

This can and will do a couple of holes. But in fact, a well-armored train, with active defense, with weapons, the ATGM will do nothing. Standard trolley withstands 60 tons, reinforced even more. So imagine a dozen Abrams in a bunch. If it is normal to develop this topic, in the radius of destruction of the weapons of this train EVERYTHING will dig into the ground deeper at the level of instincts, only after hearing the rattling of wheels.

Hearing a clatter, you need not dig into the ground, but simply blow up the canvas in front, and when the train stops, then behind. And then peck the stationary target to everything that is at hand!
Wheelbarrows here somehow look more reliable.

[Cetron]

Armored trains are used where other heavy armored vehicles cannot be pulled up. What are you going to fuck? In Russia, there are a lot of places where the railway is the only way, even tanks will not pass. And to destroy infantry or landing is the very thing.

In a heavily curtailed train, and for some reason with a civilian "diesel locomotive", there is no kitchenette, no sleeping cars for soldiers, no radio station car, no jamming car, no crane, no cover platforms ...

Look at the bridge. And think about it - if such a bend is from five units, what will happen if the Cupid is rolled out onto it with all the regular thirteen units? The first underwater crossing of an armored train?
By the way, there is a front control platform in the photo. But with lightweight loading. And there is no equipment on the second platform (T-62, or PT-76, or BMP, or BTR).
And the locomotive is most likely "black". With BEPO, this was in the order of things: on the stretch, the thrust was normal ("black"), and they go into battle on an armored one.

[Krasnodar]

You can enter carts, airships, cavalry. Kakhovka, Kakhovka, native rifle ...

[BAI]

photo and article (word for word) were yesterday in RG.

[vadimtt]

Judging by how the pontoons sag, the most armored component in this armored train is just a locomotive

[Maalkavianin]

With this locomotive, they probably checked the sensibility of the crossing, according to the principle "if it drowns, it's not a pity." And the media, as always, inflated to the point that supposedly armored trains would run on rails.

[Ros 56]

But Maxim machine guns were or ZU-23 cost, well, it's good to make people laugh.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

I somehow rode on this))) Only there was still a platform with a tank ...

[voyaka uh]

An armored train may perplex Americans. The AI ​​of their drones will not understand what it is, think about it and ... freeze. The drone will fall.

Hello. In vain irony.

[The leader of the Redskins]

You know, your video is more about special forces, and not about an armored train. So you can justify the cart with the horse, if GRU GSh will move on it.)))

[The leader of the Redskins]

Honestly, I thought, these anachronisms died out twenty years ago, just like cavalry, knights and siege towers. But no! There is something to scare NATO!

[Stoler]

"Barguzin" is listed as not needed "EXPENSIVE" A "ARMORED TRAIN" is it necessary !? let's continue "row" - "Armata" is expensive - "Tachanka" is driving

[kakvastam]

Having fun over the armored train, they most likely saw Russia only on the globe.
We have a lot of places where getting around a railway line is generally unrealistic, and heavy equipment that can pose a threat to an armored train can only spawn there.
So the thing is quite useful, although it needs a more serious air defense cover if it is lucky to have a bite with a serious opponent.

[M. Michelson]

As a mobile artillery system - hardly.
Like a highly mobile stationary battery - very much so. (Therefore, the locomotive is not armored, probably.)
