Vietnamese reporters: The reinforced armor of the Syrian T-62 does not save these tanks

90
As a result of the destruction of three tanks T-62, attacked in Syria in one battle, doubts arose about the defensive capabilities of both modernized and the latest Russian technology. This opinion was expressed by the Vietnamese edition of BaoDatViet.





Curse T-62M and T-90


In battles with rebels in Idlib and Latakia last week, Syrian government troops lost five tanks, and many other vehicles were damaged. Of the lost equipment, three units were identified as T-62M.

From the published pictures, you can easily notice that the attack on them came in the most vulnerable places - the projectile went down from above. Earlier, Lebanese Al-Masdar News experts said a similar “Achilles heel” is also characteristic of the Russian T-90 versions.

Anti-tank strike weapons back and top was always considered their curse

- writes the Vietnamese edition of BaoDatViet.

To overcome these fatal shortcomings, Russia had to modify the armor for the T-62 before they were delivered to Syria: a complex composite protection was placed or dynamic protection was placed around the machine body. This allowed to increase the combat stability of equipment.

As a result, the T-62 security level has increased significantly. But until the attack is carried out from behind or from above. And this weakness was discovered by a terrorist, for which Russian tanks had to pay a high price, although anti-tank weapons were not of a new type

- notes BaoDatViet.

According to Vietnamese authors, the militants most likely were on a hill nearby, from where they fired.

Vietnamese reporters: The reinforced armor of the Syrian T-62 does not save these tanks


Disease inherited by "Armata"


So the "death" for the T-62 was almost inevitable

- indicates the publication, noting that this "disease" is characteristic not only for T-62M, but even for "Almaty." According to him, during the tests of the T-14 this weakness cannot be overcome in any way, despite the powerful and highly effective dynamic protection. Where did the Vietnamese reporters get such data?

In the research institute of steel and alloys, meanwhile, they claim that the armor of "Almaty" is at a high level, allowing it to withstand all types of anti-tank shells in caliber 100-150 mm. However, BaoDatViet believes that in fact, you can talk about the safety of the machine when firing from a distance from 2 km.

So, Russia indirectly confirmed that “Almaty” is unlikely to have a chance to survive if you reduce the attack range to less than 2 km. If this is true, then there is no need to replenish the park with a new generation

- concludes BaoDatViet.

One gets the impression that this material gives an order from those who want to squeeze Russia on the market of Southeast Asia.

    Why discuss the T62 at all?
    Even more delusional is the fiction about "the entire line of Russian tanks."

                Russia with the sale of weapons has already flown and flew because of the price. The Vietnamese bought a license and a factory for the production of Jewish Kalash - ACE 31 and ACE 32. Ours offered for $ 250 million, Israel for $ 170 million. They also abandoned our Shells in favor of the again short-range Jewish air defense systems Spyder-SR. We bought only 3 air defense systems, but as they say the symptom is not good.

                  Funny you ...
                  You correctly noted about the Kalash - the tender was not for the supply of weapons. The tender was for the construction of the plant. The Vietnamese decided to be original. Can you recall when it was our military-industrial complex that traded factories?
                  In addition, the volume of production of that plant was such that we are not building it. But the Israelis are building for themselves.

                  With the SAM, it’s also somehow strange. The complexes described by you are painfully different.

                      For example, the fact that the Israeli one is several launchers assembled in a complex around a separate radar station that provides primary target designation. The shell is a "thing in itself" - a machine on which there is a radar station, a computer, and a weapon. Even if it integrates, it is only with our "large" air defense systems, S-400, for example, or with itself. On the one hand, this is good, any vehicle is combat-ready separately, on the other hand, a separate radar and computer are poorly upgraded and their parameters are easier to increase.
                      It depends on what you need.

                      Again, the Israeli complex fires aircraft missiles from GOS. Pacir's missiles are dumber. But cheaper. If you want to intercept single targets, then this is better, but if group, then worse.

          But if we plan to take D-E-Shugur, then the capture of Al-Najay and Bdam (nickel of the mountain range km 10x10) takes the SAA directly to the last outpost in front of Idlib. From there, you can process the positions of spirits from above and capture the city quickly. This dime is the key.

          By the way, I was surprised to learn that al-Baghdadi was spanked not in a desert that was not controlled by anyone, but in ... Idlib. In a territory controlled by moderate green thugs. In the West, one must ask oneself “how is it that the leader of world evil hid among fighters with a bloody regime dying for Syrian democracy” will smell burnt plastic.

    In Iraq, at least two cases were recorded when militants destroyed the vaunted American Abrams tank using a DShK machine gun. The destruction of one of the tanks occurred by igniting the auxiliary power units of the tank, due to machine gun fire. The armor-piercing incendiary bullets of the machine gun easily penetrated the protection with additional tanks of the tank.

    Flammable fuel led to the ignition of the tank engine and detonation of the ammunition. There is also a known case that the “Abrams” was shot down with the help of the DShK, when its bullet hit exactly the left side of the tower from behind, it is there that the APU is located, which was disabled. The burning fuel-oil mixture from the APU rushed into the engine compartment and burned the tank.

    Forgot how they defended their freedom on Soviet tanks?

    indicates the publication, noting that this "disease" is characteristic not only for the T-62M, but even for the "Almaty".

    And in Vietnam there were publications and reporters, fans of the US Funds, with custom-made articles - that the Vietnamese publication kept silent about the "leapards" of Turkey torn apart, and the burning Abramas of Iraq and the Saudis!

    Each country has its own information dump. In the United States, great Pakistani experts sat down with their nonsense in NI, among the Chinese it is Sohu, the Vietnamese decided to keep up with their BaoDatViet. Just yesterday, BaoDatViet vehemently criticized our new icebreaker (they are also known as polar explorers), which was just launched, today at first glance they appreciated the T-14's defenses, and then discuss the stupid unprepared frontal attack in Syria - like two yellow fingers on asphalt.

    The Vietnamese "expert" is simply a captain of the obvious.
    Quote: "As a result, the level of protection of the T-62 has increased significantly. But until the attack is carried out from behind or from above. And this weakness was discovered by a terrorist, for which Russian tanks were forced to pay a high price, although the anti-tank weapon was not a new one. type ". According to this guru, only terrorists discovered the vulnerability of tanks in the upper and rear projections and only in the T-62 ..... Sorry, even in Armata. Brilliant.

    And which tank can withstand the attack from above?
    Regarding the T-14, in my opinion, without a crew tower, there is one solution to minimize personnel losses. There are no hatches on top; solid armor allows increasing the thickness of the turret roof armor.

    Interestingly, which tank is well protected from hitting from above? There everyone has the thinnest place - it is impossible to cover the tank over the entire surface with 20+ cm. Of armor - it is still a tank, not a bunker - it should still drive))) By the way, western tanks are even worse protected from hitting from above - they, firstly, in general, the tower is much larger, since there is a loader (except Leclerc) and BC (for all), and secondly, in our t-72, -80, -90, a significant part of the top of the tower is covered by a ccd, which is not at western completely.

    Not true. There is. Drawn by a small kid on paper. Well, if only because he has no top.

    Representatives of the "Vietnamese Press", are you sick !? Recently, I often see in the news all sorts of getting on from "Vietnamese media". Explicit order. As an anti-tank operator in the first army specialty, I will say: not a single tank in the world is properly covered from above! That is why the Javelin system works this way. But! You still try to have time to shoot and hit a dynamically moving modern tank (I'm talking about howling about the T-14 and T-90 "Armata"). I do not mean the Syrian specifics of burying tanks in caponiers and standing still. Still, the tank is not designed to stand still as a bunker. In this particular case, the infantry must clearly monitor the heights and monitor the occurrence of an ATGM attack. And, if not detected, then suckers ... Any ATGM operator knows: he is actually a suicide bomber. The shot and torch of the starting ATGM instantly hits the target designation, and then: a short run "our hill, your hill" from a high-explosive fragmentation ... And what, some NATO tanks with a profile two times higher than ours are somehow protected behind or above? And on board? I am laughing out loud! And the last: T-62M ... They would have crowed about the T-55 ... No, well, this is obvious yellowness, with brown coplets ...

      At a javelin to capture a target for at least 35 seconds, you must continuously keep a mark on the target if the target hits an obstacle; And now the all-beautiful stewar should all this time stick around his waist from the trenches with a huge fool on his shoulder.
      Well, there are a lot of javelin failures and the armor penetration is small (compensated if the blow is from above) and the price of the shot is sky-high.

      it’s unlikely that ours will bother with kombie-bombers .. it’s easier to start the production of kamikaze drones like Kalashnikov’s Cuba — there the mass of the payload allows you to place at least a cumulative fragmentation from the S-5 with a penetration of 250 mm or from the RPG-7 in the form of the PG-7VL Luch, and if you try, then put the Summary in there if the topic is developed .. then all will be pressed

    From the published pictures, you can easily notice that the attack on them came in the most vulnerable places - the projectile went down from above. Earlier, Lebanese Al-Masdar News experts said a similar “Achilles heel” is also characteristic of the Russian T-90 versions.

    ABOVE !!! I am hz, I am not a great expert on modern tanks, but as I understand it, any tank has the thinnest armor on top. But how the "Abrams" were set on fire with old RPG-7s and not from above, this must be considered ...

    Maybe "Abrams" or "Merkavas" or "Leopards" ???

    To be honest, I don't care much about how and what the "Abrams" or "Merkavas" or "Leopers" are holding.
    Considering that now they are massively producing rockets that hit tanks from above - each "vaunted" article about our vehicles constantly raises the question of protecting it from above. And it becomes sad. Many bosses in our country consider such protection as some kind of expensive toy - like a tribute to the new fashion, etc. Say, and so it will come down ... especially against the backward barmaley.
    Okay. And did the T-14 also design for war with the tribes? And even in our promising tank, the upper part is not completely covered.

    What other Vietnamese experts! You can hear the stench of local liberals behind West’s news, only to grease Amers for their reward, that they painted the disease of all tanks, even American, even European, as they were beaten and continue to be beaten. It has long been known as soon as they come up with something to protect tanks, they immediately develop how to crack it. And as a rule, the developers are the same. And often the equipment is hit with the same weapon that was invented to suppress new armor.

Compare the Contact (not even Contact-5) that stands on them with It’s stupid for an Afghanite or Relic ... it’s the same as comparing the T-62M with the BT-5 ... heaven and earth ... completely different generations ... As for the Chinese tanks, their rollers fall off on the tank biathlon. ..Leopards and Abrams burn well in Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq ... I think that this article is for domestic use and is designed for local ...

    Interestingly, according to these eGsBers, are there tanks that are invulnerable from above from behind? in general, machine guns make their way into such a projection, and as shown by fighting leopards from falling even into the frontal projection tend to explode like a powder warehouse. Leclerc? Yes, they did not go beyond the parades, Merkava? the meeting with the cornets took place to the full advantage of the latter ... who else? mythical south korean indian and turkish japanese? and they went beyond the hangar?
