The Cuban army gave a second life to the T-34 and T-55 tanks

101
The Cuban army is in no hurry to get rid of the already obsolete equipment that was once delivered to the Liberty Island by the Soviet Union. Cuban craftsmen give this technique a second life. It is reported by "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".

The Cuban army gave a second life to the T-34 and T-55 tanks




Legendary, but already obsolete Soviet Tanks T-34 and T-55, delivered by the Soviet Union, received a second life in Cuba. At local defense enterprises, which were also built with the help of the USSR, they were turned into mobile anti-aircraft systems and self-propelled artillery mounts.

The air defense units of the Cuban army are armed with anti-aircraft missile systems C-75 and C-125. Given the fact that the experience of recent military conflicts suggests that stationary installations do not last long, the Cubans came up with the idea of ​​installing Soviet air defense systems on the chassis of the T-55 tanks. It is not known whether the "filling" of the systems was finalized or changed and whether work was carried out in this direction at all, but the resulting SAMs on a tank chassis received freedom of maneuver.



But on the basis of the T-34-85 tanks at the disposal of the army, Cuban designers created several types of self-propelled artillery mounts. The fact is that in the arsenal of the Cuban army there are almost no self-propelled guns, the bulk is towed artillery. Now, the 2-mm howitzer D-1, the 2-mm gun M-3 and the 122-mm anti-aircraft gun KS-30 will join the few Soviet self-propelled guns 130С46 "Carnation" and 100С19 "Acacia". All of them are mounted on the chassis of the T-34 tank.



As stated in the Ministry of Defense of Cuba, this military equipment is not only demonstrated at military parades, but also actively participates in exercises, showing that it is too early to write it off.

      And why in Cuba S-400? The S-400 is not a plug in every barrel, but a system sharpened to perform a certain task, which, in my opinion, is not visible in Cuba.

        It is interesting for which specific tasks the C 400 is imprisoned, besides providing air defense ??! )), Voprs only whether it is necessary for Cuba itself and financial integrity. At one time, they abandoned the base in this country, which is an unforgivable geopolitical step))).

      Cuba does not need rockets now, but the economy should be boosted.

      They don’t need rockets to be supplied, but help organize the production of sugar cane biofuels, help with the tourism business - for example, organize and build cruise ships in shipyards in Russia for this purpose and they could go from Crimea or Sochi through the Mediterranean Sea to Cuba, help with development airports, updating the fleet, developing the hotel business, which we have at the bottom.

      In Cuba, poverty is poverty, everything that you put there will end up in the United States at training facilities and will not bring any benefit to either Cuba or Russia.

      Our answer to the United States today from real, not stupid and populist, can be only one - the buildup of multi-purpose submarines of the Yasen-M type capable of operating land-based cruise missiles directly from under the water !!! Such a boat can approach the United States from any direction and inflict a massive strike with Caliber to a depth of up to 2600 km. It is many times cheaper and more efficient than supplying our complexes left and right with the local authorities to credit the government and all the rest, deploy and maintain their bases there, which after changing the policy in these countries will have to be removed just like we removed our bases from the same Georgia .

          Cubans at one time provided POLMIR with sugar, but companies from the USA made profit of it.

          Could lazy people produce as much raw material for sugar production? I don’t think so. And that is why Cuba is under constant pressure from the United States.

      Do it right. An old horse in military affairs does not spoil the furrows for a long time, especially if it was originally well done, and even a little modernizable.
      For example, could the BTR-152 be used in Donbass? It seems to be no problem, but if you replace the motor with a modern one, then, in general, "lepota".

            And you dealt with "iron"? For three years I crawled on it, and in the rain, and in the snow, and on the icy and cold armor. What is cold armor you know? In my regiment, by the way, there were no problems even in winter, and the rain is just entertainment.

                And you do not know that in a certain state the "Niva" has already been recorded in the BMD? So what can we say about Cuba with its limited resources, the guys are trying to get out of the situation as best they can.

                  The limitation in resources does not mean that you need to deal with nonsense. They wanted to use the T-34, they could make an artillery tractor out of it. D-30, firing from the ground, an exceptional weapon. And no need to do anything from it, obviously worsening performance.

      That's just the point, that is bad. Half a century of sanctions and an economic embargo did not go in vain, and Yeltsin at one time turned off all assistance to Cuba, leaving it alone with the mattresses. Still well done! Based on their modest resources, they independently mold quite decent decent models of military equipment.

It was spotted by Soviet P-18 "Terek" and P-12 "Yenisei" radars, which operated in the meter wavelength range, for which stealth with a low degree of scattering is not a problem. The same meter radar is taken as the basis of the detector in the S-400 complexes. So there is still a certain danger. hi

      It’s just not entirely clear why they put the S-55 rocket on the T-75 "hump"? What is so bad about off-road trucks.
      I read it from you and began to look at the photo, enlarged it and came to the conclusion that it was put on the turntable of the tank in order to use the option of turning the turret to aim at the target, on trucks it would have to be designed and done again. I can be mistaken with a high degree of probability since it is not a tanker or air defense officer.

      Good evening, colleague. Something I did not notice in the photo of the chassis from the T-34, more and more 54-55. And we didn’t change the rollers before being sent to Cuba? Don't you know? In the summer of 67, I examined a dozen "thirty-fours" distilled in the UR near Ungun, because there were rollers like cars from the war. hi

        All receiver self-propelled guns on the T-34/85 chassis. The rollers on them are not entirely clear which ones, they are the latest ones, the so-called "lightweight" ones for the T-34/44, they really installed them from the T-55 ... Now you can't run there with a ruler, so that the diameter and measure to the nearest millimeter

    On various sites, various (relatively) inexpensive cargo and demilitarized equipment is for sale. It is logical to assume that the owners of this equipment bought it from the Moscow Region or the Federal Reserve for everyone cheaply.
    Question. And who decides to sell equipment or not? Or can someone be sold not in the Russian Federation but beyond its borders? And not even for the money. For example, Cuba is a technique, but we have an airfield without pay for five years without pay. I mean, on the heels of dozens))) well, either a port or a place for a radio base))) For the country, this is better than the hucksters make some money.

Why does the island state need artillery, any of its systems - to shoot at the areas on which sugarcane grows in order to provoke a shortage of sugar in the world?

      Do not confuse sugar shortages in the world with sugar shortages in the country. Cuba's share of the global sugar market is small. Cubans are working for the good of their state. Your position liberalsis long clear. Because of these, we almost lost the country of Russia in the 90s.

    Honestly, I do not think that such developments at least somehow improve things on the defensive. The S-75 today is bad not because it was in a fixed position, but because it is already corny useless against the means of defeating Cuba's main enemy - the United States. The complex will be suppressed by electronic warfare or hit by a blow from outside the zone of its own defeat. All other developments have also already remained far behind modern methods of defense. It is not necessary to redo the T-34, but to sign an agreement with Russia. Russia sets up the INF with a view of the southern beaches of the United States, Cuba receives modern air defense systems, aviation, electronic warfare, missile boats, etc. from it in exchange for Russia's interests. Including training in military schools and the Academy of the General Staff of their officers.

          Very rigid restrictions are imposed on missiles fueled with liquid fuel and an oxidizer in terms of transportation speed and shock-vibration loads. transferring the launcher to the tank base only increases the mobility of the launcher itself, but in this way it is impossible to transport a fueled rocket over a long distance on the tank.

        Greetings, Olya! Everything flows and changes, and the last C-75 "Volga-2" air defense systems, modernized during factory repairs, are very far from the C-75 "Dvina" of the Khrushchev era. Olya, if you are interested, look at the link for the changes in it: http://rbase.new-factoria.ru/missile/wobb/c75m3/c75m3.shtml The modernization of the air defense system is carried out using the technology and element base of the C-300PMU1-2 air defense system and includes:
        increased security of the target channel.
        the introduction of a sound indication of the target in the radar mode.
        introduction of auto tracking on target in TCE mode.
        replacement of the following analog computing devices with digital equipment:
        devices for determining the coordinates of targets and missiles (OOK);
        development of missile control teams (ICM);
        automated launch device (APP);
        SDC subtracting devices;
        interference demodulation devices (GWW);
        station synchronizer;

    Olga alone can ask so many questions that ten majors will answer a month.
    If this interests you, then:
    1) Olya does not know the cyclogram of the S-75 air defense missile launcher launch, therefore, it draws incorrect conclusions about the transportation of the product. She also does not know about liquid fuel missiles, which PUs were on a tracked chassis, which were in service
    2) Along the way, I will note that statements like "single-channel lines are easily choked" are generally pointless. The channel can be 50 MHz wide and the signal 20 Hz wide. You can calculate the required spectral density of the interference yourself. And we still do not take into account the antenna pattern of the receiving channel. And the interference will have to be set from the minimum of the DN, then at least 20-25 dB will have to be added to the interference power.
    3) It seems that critics of the self-propelled launcher S-75 did not read fiction about the use of complexes in Vietnam, and if they did, they did not understand what was the main problem of the combat stability of the complex and solved the problem in Cuba.

    There are a lot of materials on the modernization of the complex in open sources to draw the right conclusions.
