When there is no fleet left: Libyan ships are dismantled for ground equipment

Before the start of the civil war and the subsequent after this intervention, the Libyan naval forces could hardly be called impressive, but approximately they corresponded to the appearance fleet the average country.

The armament consisted of 11 combat pennants, including two submarines of type 641, two frigates of model 1159, one corvette of project 1234, one landing ship of type PS-700, five minesweepers of project 266ME and 14 missile boats (6 models 205 and 8 of type “ Combatant-2G. ”From this group, only one frigate, a missile boat and a landing ship remained.

The ships deployed during the fighting are dismantled, like donors, for the needs of the ground forces. However, the army was degrading just as swiftly, in particular, by moving from the classic types of ground equipment to the ridiculous “shushpanzer”. One example of this total degeneration of the armed forces is the placement of a 30-mm AK-630 six-barrel naval artillery mount on a truck.

Photos of this creation were at the disposal of Mars.online. According to it, this "hybrid", assembled by the hands of Libyan enthusiasts, was created to fight against droneswhich are widely used by the warring parties. The secondary task of this product is to defeat manpower and light armored vehicles at a distance of up to 4000 m.

Goal for fiction is cunning!
They always have a craving to put a jet on a car!

[bessmertniy]

They did not think of the main thing - the fleet should have been put on tracks and sent to fight in the desert.

[dik-nsk]

but how they rode after the assassination of Gaddafi .. galloped

[Victor_B]

On the lack of fish - you yourself will become a cancer!
Well, on the other hand, what is unusual in a war?
Everything that can harm the enemy is used.
And the Shushpanzers in Syria have seen enough ...

[Vladimir_2U]

I can’t imagine how to shoot from a truck with metal cutting! It’s not just that it will turn over, but also along. )))

[Paul Siebert]

It is also surprising that under such a turret of the AK-630 gun mount there is a rather impressive barbet (a special "glass" for ammunition) with a long 30-mm tape. shells.
Where on the truck they put ammunition for the artillery system, which "eats" 100 shells per second - I can't imagine ...
Most likely the tower with a package of trunks is just being taken to be scrapped ...

[evgen1221]

Well, for some reason, they will be permanently put in a concrete shelter and there will be happiness.

[NOMADE]

Yes, it is strange. There recoil as far as I remember a few tons! And installation in the back without outriggers!

[cost]

ok from the truck, but from this how? Fly away with the trolley

[NOMADE]

It is for transportation

[Constanty]

The cannon in the photo is not a ship cannon, but an aviation 23-mm automatic cannon GSH-6-23 (AO-19, TKB-613, Air Force Index-9-A-620) and the cannon mount 9EYU-768 Mounted on MiG-31 aircraft, Su-24. Even she has a recoil of 5 tons in recoil and 3,5 tons in recoil.

What's in the picture is actually a split layout on a transport trolley

However, the photo in the article also does not show the AK-630, but rather something like KAMAZ’s Libyan National Army, armed with a twin 30mm AK-230 gun

Well paired, it's not a six-barrel.

[Constanty]

I wrote regarding the text and photo from the article above:

One example of this total degeneration of the armed forces is the placement of a 30-mm AK-630 six-barrel naval artillery installation on a truck ...

[orionvitt]

Why are you doing this? I also wrote about the text and photo published above.

[Constanty]

Sorry, I misunderstood.

[orionvitt]

No problem. It happens at most.

Of those types of ships that are listed in the article, some were AK-230. Where did the AK-630 come from in Libya? Maybe the photo is not from Libya? Or maybe the AK-630 was brought from another country.

[Constanty]

This is it AK-230. The author of the article is wrong

[rotmistr60]

the army degraded just as swiftly

When a civil war is taking place in a country, moreover, various countries support one side or another and it is difficult to talk about a strong army, let alone preserving the fleet. And the fact that naval artillery is adapted for military operations on the ground, so the need is not yet compelled to do so.

[Strashila]

What is surprising here, if it works, well done. They don’t put a car on the chassis, in Syria, 57 mm guns.

[Lamata]

In such a way, they will soon be on the jeep that the 75 mm thread is stuck from the frigate.

[rocket757]

There is no country / state and the "progressive west" ruined it ...
Since this is the EAST, peace will never come there until all sorts of "enlightened" guardians get away from there completely .... means NEVER!
There is OIL !!!

[Livonetc]

Weapons of a similar plan were created during WWII.
Tanks made from tractors.
Tower ship artillery was used on ground positions.
Just use all available resources.
Well, the "carts" performed by handicraft methods proved to be quite effective.
Now many people release them in standard industrial design.

[Lamata]

they didn’t put guns in the tractor, only machine guns, for example Odessa NI 1

[Livonetc]

They set in Leningrad.

Yes, they certainly were, thanks for the amendment.

[Russian_man]

Well done, seriously tuned. It was the same in our Civil War.
