Upgraded T-80BVM Northern Fleet tanks frightened Norwegian army

Norwegian army urgently needed new Tanks in connection with the deployment by Russia of 26 modernized T-80BVM tanks on the border with Norway and Finland. This was stated by the head of the communications department of the Norwegian army Per Espen Strand, the newspaper reports. TV 2 Norge.

According to the Norwegian publication, the modernized T-80BVM tanks received by the Northern Fleet of Russia are adapted to the Arctic conditions, and their engines are launched in forty degrees below zero. The speed of the tanks is 70 km / h. It is equipped with a gun with a range of up to three kilometers. The ammunition has a depleted uranium core and penetrates armor with a thickness of 590-630 millimeters from a two-kilometer distance.

The appearance of modernized Russian tanks on the border frightened the Norwegian military and led the Norwegian Ministry of Defense to urgently require the purchase of new armored vehicles, as well as strengthening the defense and strengthening the country's armed forces.

Modern tanks are an integral part of any trustworthy army. Both our allies and potential adversaries are modernizing. This deployment emphasizes that the Norwegian army also needs new tanks, and as soon as possible

- said the head of the communications department of the army, Per Espen Strand.

The publication notes that the army commander Eirik Kristoffersen previously sought to purchase 84 tanks for military needs, and the appearance of Russian modernized tanks can significantly accelerate their purchase.

Today the army is very modest in size and therefore needs to be significantly strengthened. If the authorities do not, our political freedom of action will be limited

- he said.

At the same time, the Ministry of Defense has already received four proposals to strengthen the country's defense capabilities.

The usual method of distorting information is the joy of manipulating the opinions of its citizens. Simply put, PR and propaganda.
And the tanks go beautifully under the snow disguise.

Local residents simply write with joy when they see tanks on the street of the village.

If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have known that Russian tanks are armed with depleted uranium core shells penetrating any armor ...

T-72/80/90 / Armata swim? Are you kidding?

It is equipped with a gun with a range of up to three kilometers.

What ??

The tank has a 125 mm smoothbore gun 2A46-1, later 2A46-2 / 2A46M-1, capable of firing guided missiles such as "Cobra", "Invar", "Reflex-M". Direct fire range - 4000 meters, missiles fly up to 5000 meters. The ammunition contains sub-caliber, high-explosive fragmentation and of course cumulative shells with a separate shell charge. The total number varies from tank modifications (38-45 charges).

Russia sharply "shook up" the Norwegian military-industrial complex and their army. Brought the Norwegians out of hibernation.

Let's still distinguish "cause" from "effect". Strengthening Russia's northern borders is exactly the answer to, let's say, the not very friendly policy of its neighbors.

[Nycomed]

And when and in what the Burrows were not friendly to us?

[Kurare]

Both the USSR and Russia had good relations with the Norwegians. It is only recently that they have bent more under NATO policy. Although, more recently, the Norwegian Minister of Defense stated that Russia does not pose a threat. For which a real wave of criticism fell upon her.

[Nycomed]

That's why I asked the question. The only thing that Normi ​​and I can have any disputes with is in the field of fishing in the Barents Sea. You know what the weather is there, then we get lost there, then we have them. But these issues are resolved quickly and locally, there is no "fanning" not from them, nor from our side. Normal working situation. Why is this "bloating" with tanks - I can't understand ...

[Kurare]

"Give money, give money"! or "To whom the war, and to whom the mother is dear." This is a blood business and nothing personal.

[Oyo Sarkazmi]

About 2 thousand Norwegians died on the Soviet-German front. Like a couple of hundred Swedes near Leningrad.
And the north of Norway is lit and heated by Russian electricity. Like defense facilities.

[Nycomed]

And the new RCC also drove Japan.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

I wonder why Russia, in your opinion, "shook up" Norway and other NATO countries so that their military budgets have already exceeded $ 1 trillion and continue to grow, while reconnaissance UAVs and exercises of NATO countries are constantly flying and passing near the borders of Russia?

Norway and other NATO countries have never relaxed, they dream of a new intervention against Russia, new lands and free access to Russian resources.

But only ruins and colossal sacrifices will be received, which will be a break for their states.

[voyaka uh]

"new lands and free access to the resources of Russia." ////
---
Novegia and money "at least eat your booty" - they can buy any resources, and they cannot master their lands - the country is underpopulated.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Norway has its own money from the sale of oil and gas, the production of which is declining, and soon everything will be like in the Netherlands, where the country has turned from an exporter of resources into an importer.

So, new lands with resources for Norway will obviously not be superfluous.

Or will you argue that a pair of tank battalions is a threat to Norway and NATO?

[voyaka uh]

If the Norwegians have the same as in the Netherlands, then it will be cool! The Netherlands is a super-developed country. Oil reserves are not eternal anywhere: in Western Siberia, the last underground ponds, lost in Soviet times, are scooped in half with swamp water. But do not lose heart!
Who will break through with his head!

[Sergey M. Karasev]

what will become a sting for their states.

Those. Russia will ride in these countries like KrAZ in passenger cars

[parkello]

it would be better if Russia shook its military-industrial complex as Norvov ... I don’t know what they expect? Norwegians will buy new Leopards2 A7 from KAZ ... because they understand that it’s better to pay 1 million euros for KAZ than to lose a tank that costs 10 million

[Svarog51]

Why what? Let the Americans order Abrams. Those also have a turbine and shells with uranium cores.

[parkello]

Sergey, abrams compared to leopards 2 pure rubbish in the harp armored ... the guns of both tanks are identical to the Rheinmetal 120 ... but mobility, security and the availability of spare parts pulls Leo2 far ahead of the abrashka.voot.a for which I got 4 minus I do not know. probably

And they thought correctly, although it was developed. Well, they also need to "scary" catch up

[Svarog51]

When they found out about our tanks, we thought about our own. Well, how will they know about Yars?

[loki565]

They were still produced in the USSR, but to use, against whom? For the same type, shells with tungsten are enough.

[English tarantas]

As far as I remember, tungsten is better for more powerful and faster projectiles. And for the "classmates" in the USSR, they first made it from uranium, and then from tungsten.

[loki565]

BPS with uranium has a higher penetration ability than tungsten, but they are pretty fonent and it is completely undesirable to use them on their territory. So in the United States, after testing BOPs with uranium on a polygon, the topsoil was removed and disposed of. And in Iraq, it’s possible to use the same not the USA.

[Romka47]

Or in the Balkans ...

[English tarantas]

Depleted uranium has a low background, consider no.

[Romka47]

Developed, the technology is there, even released (I can not confirm here) some there. But so far there are enough ordinary "crowbars" they are not used, because (here I can’t vouch for the words either) they all glow exactly and harm the crew. And in the event of a global war, we will charge them and how Ooh

[marshes]

Quote: Romka47

they all sound evenly and harm the crew.

There the background is slightly higher than natural, the crew does not sit on crowbars daily and does not breathe dust, it is much more dangerous here.

Under these crowbars and automatic loader redone, Just the T-72 B-3 boasts.

[g1washntwn]

Interesting NATO mathematics. 26 to 84. Of course, I understand that there are not modernized ones there, but if 26 Armat had appeared, then in the Norwegian Ministry of Defense and calculators for 12 digits would not be a cake anymore?

[Andy]

It is equipped with a gun with a range of up to three kilometers. Ammunition has a depleted uranium core
-----
Did I miss something? sort of as always indicated a range of 4 km. and the uranium core is not used. that is, once such a projectile was developed, but was not launched into a series — we are fighting on our land. Unlike amers. correct me please if I'm wrong

[Thunderbolt]

They did not frighten, but simply the Norwegian command uses our tanks to fit their own government. Demands to strengthen the armored component came before, but now the Norwegian generals have a clear "trump card" and their curls still have to fork out extra money. And not only for tanks, missile systems and helicopters.

[Thrifty]

Maybe we should sell our tanks to the tax authorities themselves? The main thing for them is to buy faster now, and here we are with a good offer ...

[Nycomed]

The idea, by the way, is a good one. Just do not buy ...

[Oyo Sarkazmi]

Yeah. The Americans will impose sanctions and the entire Pension Fund of Norway will be confiscated. And then orphans from Boeing are starving ...

Okay, pull the warriors a little more for themselves, just to get high! But the population does not understand that they live well also because military spending was limited to a minimum ... there, after all, just start, replace the gun with oil! Appetite comes with eating.
