Great news! Very happy for the CTOF Marines!
Vladyka - thanks for the news video!

I noticed that in 90% the machine gun is not installed in a regular place. What is the problem?!

[Romka47]

1 machine gun for 5 armored personnel carriers, the rest will be obtained in battle.
Joke (and here not all of us are friends with humor)

[Sergei 777]

Machine guns are stored in guns and are installed if necessary.

[KCA]

In my time, the KPVT and TPK once nobody removed from the BTR-80 and BTR-90, standard weapons, in fact, let's take the cannons off the tanks

[Catfish]

In addition to the DShK, I had two more SGMTs (course and coupled) on my "Half-Four", and they were only removed on park days, when servicing equipment, for preventive cleaning. Strange somehow - machine guns in warehouses. KSA is right, it was not enough to remove the gun, and at the same time the engines for greater safety.

[Sergey39]

And in my time, for every training alarm, these banduras were dragged from arms to the park.

[KCA]

I agree, I haven’t seen the BTR-90, it’s become stranger, I confuse details

KPVT is not removed. Only PCT and NSVT

"Machine guns are stored in guns and installed if necessary" - Strange statement.

Still true. PKT stored in weapons. On alert, mechanics drag them into the park.

In a box with spare parts did not look? Maybe it’s there. When transporting it is not needed, but not long to install

In ZiPah, either. In a box sealed with the commander of the exit guard.

[Lopatov]

They are not stored on the equipment, during its transportation they are not installed on the equipment. The machine gun is not installed in 100% of cases.

In the SA, in any case, which I found, the PKT on the tanks and on the BMP / BTR always stood in their regular place. And when he received the same 30 armored personnel carriers from the factory, the machine guns also stood still. What for is a perversion with removing them from cars?

I have not seen this. Does it seem like homework? And most importantly - why?

Yes, homemade.
And so, anyone can make such a homemade product.
And storage conditions even in boxing do not reach the conditions of a weapon in terms of control.

Well, by the way, yes. In the infantry, it happened that they fired PKT trunks. But this is a question for the organization of guard duty in parks. Say, they didn’t rub anything in a separate battalion. I’ll tell you more - at the training grounds we found not only abandoned / forgotten PKT (10 units at a time), but even armored personnel carriers (complete and complete spare parts and accessories for 14,5!) And BMPs (without PKT) —the request was made to the army headquarters , the owners were not found, but the army somehow sided. They used it for some time, then just buried it. So the problem is primarily disorder and irresponsibility. I’ve seen enough in ZABVO that no weapon can save! So began the collapse of the army. Like right now - not even interesting.

[Nastia makarova]

really big batch

[YOUR]

Just a battalion. But this is already good.

[Nastia makarova]

a little chicken

When the TKN-82GA-4 thermal imaging sight is already being put on production btr-03a, otherwise the infrared illuminator is new, I understand that it’s expensive but the 21st century after all.

[senima56]

What kind of "thermal imaging sight" is there ?! You see, there are not enough machine guns for all the armored personnel carriers! (It was also a "humor joke")

[Den717]

It is sad that the delivery of a battalion kit of junk, which does not contribute to the preservation of the life of a Russian soldier, is presented with such fanfare. An engine from KAMAZ was put into the old building, apparently because the old, lawn ones, stopped producing. Oh yes, the cannon has been installed, the shell of which is unlikely to take similar equipment of the Lithuanian army. And the armor, as it was almost plywood, remained. So much for the "newest" armored personnel carriers. Lithuania (!!!!) buys newer from the Germans. Shame.

[Grabacr]

I wonder what justifies their placement in Kamchatka? There is no developed road network; there is no BDK either. As far as I remember, MTs had MTLBs there, apparently due to the fact that they were more suitable for the conditions of the terrain.
