Who was the chief designer of the T-34?

History create tank T-34 fell during the period of "great terror" and was largely tragic for its creators. According to canonical Soviet historiography, the creation of the T-34 is associated exclusively with the name of the chief designer Mikhail Koshkin, who replaced the repressed Afanasy Firsov in December 1936. It should be noted that to develop a breakthrough design of the tank, a design genius was needed, but Koshkin was not.

Start of development of the first Soviet tank


For an objective assessment of the contribution of each of them, it is necessary to return to the time when the Soviet tank school was just beginning to take shape. Until the end of the 20s, the Union had no tanks of its own design, only in 1927 the military issued requirements for the development of the first Soviet “maneuverable tank” with machine gun and cannon weapons. The development of the tank was transferred by the Main Design Bureau of the Gun-Arsenal Trust to Kharkov at the KhPZ named after The Comintern (Plant No. 183), where a specialized design group was created for the development of the tank (transformed in 1929 into the T2K tank design bureau), which was headed by a young talented designer Ivan Aleksenko (1904), who led the design bureau until 1931. The same young designers worked in the group, including the future chief designer Alexander Morozov.



In a short time, the designers developed documentation for the tank, and in 1929 a prototype T-12 tank was made. According to the test results, the tank was converted into a T-24 tank, a pilot batch of 25 vehicles was manufactured, and according to the test results, completion of their design began, but in June 1931 it was ordered to stop and begin designing the BT wheel-caterpillar tank.

This was due to the fact that the military leadership decided not to “develop from scratch” the development of domestic tanks, but to borrow the experience of Western designers and produce foreign tanks under license: the American “Christy” M1931, which became the prototype of the fast BT-2, and the English “Vickers” six-ton ​​”, which became the prototype of the light T-26. BT-2 production was placed at KhPZ, and T-26 at the Bolshevik Leningrad plant. So in the Union began to take shape two schools of tank building.

In Kharkov, the KhPZ management and designers opposed such a turn of events, were in no hurry to introduce BT-2 into production, and tried to complete the T-24 refinement. Moscow insisted on its decision, and work on the BT-2 slowly began to gain momentum. The head of the T2K design bureau, Aleksenko, believed that copying foreign equipment was unpatriotic, that you need to create your own tank school, and in disagreement filed an application and quit.

Only young people worked in the design bureau, mainly without a higher technical education, supporting Aleksenko with the aspirations to bring their T-24 tank. To strengthen the design bureau by the decision of the OGPU board in December 1931, the head of the design bureau was appointed a talented and experienced engineer Afanasy Firsov, who was sitting in one of Moscow "sharashka", sentenced to five years in prison for "wrecking activity". Firsov’s appointment played a crucial role for the Design Bureau and Soviet tank construction.

Who is Firsov


Firsov was born in 1883 in the family of a Berdyansk merchant, after graduating from a railway school, he received higher education at the Higher Technical School in Mitweide (Germany) and the Polytechnic Institute in Zurich (among other things, he graduated from Albert Einstein), specialized in the design of diesel engines. After graduating, he worked as a designer at the Zulzer plant.

In 1914 he returned to Russia, at the Kolomenskoye Machine-Building Plant he began to work on the creation of diesel engines for submarines, then he became the chief mechanic of the Krasnaya Etna plant in Nizhny Novgorod, and in 1927 at the Andre Marty Nikolaev plants, he became the chief engineer for diesel construction.

In 1929, as a representative of the "old regimes", he was involved in a case of a counter-revolutionary wrecking group at a factory, he pleaded not guilty and was not proved, but in connection with such suspicions he quit in 1929 and moved to Leningrad, where he was invited as a specialist to the factory "Russian diesel".

The year 1930 was on, the trial of the members of the Industrial Party began, among the accused there was a close acquaintance of Firsov, he was reminded of the "Nikolaev case", arrested, and sentenced to five years in prison. A qualified specialist, he worked in one of the Moscow “sharashka” under the direct supervision of Ordzhonikidze, here he began to deal with the problems of tank building, and in 1931, under guard, was sent to Kharkov to head the “rebellious” tank design bureau.

At first, the team of creators of the T-24 did not very warmly welcome the appointee “from above,” but the gifted and versatile Firsov, an engineer with encyclopedic knowledge, quickly gained authority and respect. According to contemporaries, being under round-the-clock control of the OGPU and living at the factory, since the family remained in Leningrad, he plunged into work with his head. Firsov was able to well and clearly organize the work of his subordinates, restrained, balanced in communication, he sought to convey his experience to subordinates. Together with them he studied technical innovations of foreign companies, encouraged the study of foreign languages.

Development of a family of BT tanks and a B2 diesel engine


Firsov was given the task of organizing a high-quality production of BT-2 tanks at the plant, which had many flaws and defects in the main units, power plant and chassis units. The Liberty engine, purchased in the United States, was capricious, often overheated, and there were cases of ignition during start-up. The development of serial production of these tanks was also difficult due to the lack of a base at the plant capable of mastering the production of a new tank in such quantities. Complaints about the failure of gearboxes often came from the army.

Firsov with a team of young designers put a lot of work to refine the design of the tank and improve its production technology. Gradually, the problems disappeared, under his leadership the BT-5 and BT-7 tanks were developed, which continued the line of vehicles of this family. In 1935, for the development of the BT-7 tank, Firsov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.

Since 1932, at the plant, under the leadership of the chief of diesel cladding, Konstantin Chelpan, the development of the 400-strong tank diesel engine BD-2 (high-speed diesel), the future B2, was carried out. Chelpan has repeatedly testified that a qualified diesel specialist Firsov made a great contribution to the creation of this engine. The military and Stalin personally closely monitored the progress of diesel work. The first sample of the DB-2 was demonstrated to the country's leadership in 1934. For this development, the plant, director Bondarenko and Chelpan were awarded the orders of Lenin.

The concept of a new tank and repression


While improving the BT wheeled-tracked tanks, an experienced engineer Firsov saw that this was a dead end, there could be no breakthrough. He began to look for ways to create a fundamentally new tank, under his leadership a small group of Alexander Morozov, Mikhail Tarshinov and Vasily Vasiliev during 1935 led the development of such a tank.

Firsov laid the primary technical appearance of the future T-34 and its main technical characteristics. Vasiliev recalled:

Already at the end of 1935 on the desk of the chief designer lay elaborated sketches of a fundamentally new tank: protivosnaryadny booking with large angles of inclination, long-barrel 76,2 mm gun, V-2 diesel engine, weight up to 30 tons ...

From the tank of the BT family, the new tank inherited a completely welded hull and a Christie suspension, and a wheel-tracked mover was abandoned in favor of a purely tracked one.

In 1936, KhPZ them. The Comintern is renamed to factory No. 183, and KB T2K is assigned the KB-190 index, the design bureau is working on the components and assemblies of the new tank, but in the summer of 1936 repressions begin at the factory. The reason was the mass complaints from the troops due to the failure of the BT-7 tank gearboxes. There really were constructive flaws in the tank’s design, in addition, the troops were carried away by spectacular ski jumping from the springboard, which naturally affected the BT-7’s performance. The car began to be called a "wrecking tank", Firsov was removed from his post, but left to work in the design bureau.

Instead of Firsov, in December 1936 Ordzhonikidze, who knew Mikhail Koshkin well, transferred him from Leningrad to Kharkov and appointed him head of KB-190. Firsov personally met the new chief designer, who continued to work in the design bureau until his arrest and painstakingly brought him up to date.

In a short time, Morozov, under the leadership of Firsov, developed a new gearbox, put it into production, and the issue was closed, but 1937 and the Great Terror were approaching. Firsov did not forget his "wrecking activity" in Nikolaev and Leningrad. In March 1937 he was again arrested and sent to prison in Moscow. For some time he was kept there together with another “pest” - aircraft designer Tupolev.

The repressions affected not only Firsov, who was soon shot, but many of the managers and engineers of the plant and design bureau. In 1937, a commission was sent to the plant from Moscow to find out the reasons for the low quality of the BD-2 engines, which revealed flaws in the design of the engine and non-compliance with its production technology.

According to the results of the commission's work, the engine was finalized, making up to two thousand changes to it, but organizational conclusions were made. Chelpan was removed from work and in December 1937 was arrested along with the designers: diesel engineers Trashutin, Aptekman, Levitan and Gurtov, everyone except Trashutin was shot for "wrecking", the latter was released in 1939. The chief engineer of the Lyashch plant, the chief metallurgist Metantsev and many other engineers and military representatives are being arrested. In May 1938, the director of the Bondarenko plant was arrested and soon shot.

According to Vasiliev, the repression caused a real phobia in KB-190. He recalled:

"I must say, I personally suffered this phobia very hard, slept and listened to the sounds of the approaching" black raven "with a couple of people in civilian clothes, inviting you to politely follow them."

Under such conditions of fear and expectation of arrest, the development of a new tank continued.

Who is Koshkin


After Firsov, KB-190 was adopted by Koshkin. Who was he before? Koshkin was a party functionary and established himself as a good organizer. He was personally acquainted with Ordzhonikidze and Kirov. Two years before his appointment to Kharkov, he graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and then worked as a designer in the tank design bureau of the Leningrad Plant named after Kirov. On this his experience in the development of tanks ended. Ordzhonikidze sent him to KB-190 as an experienced organizer to resolve the difficult situation at the tank factory.

Koshkin really turned out to be a talented leader, he appreciated the young team of designers and the uniqueness of the new tank concept proposed by Firsov. Prior to that, he worked in fairly high administrative and party positions and was a member of the higher courts, where he managed to prove the prospects of working on a new tank and persuaded him not to continue repressions against KB employees. Under the leadership of Koshkin, work on the tank in that difficult situation continued.

Confrontation Koshkin and Dick


To strengthen the KB-190, in June 1937 an adjunct of the Moscow Military Academy of Mechanization and Motorization was sent to a 3rd-rank military engineer Dick with not entirely clear goals. Part of the designers subordinated to him, and dual power reigned in the bureau, which could not end in anything good. During this period, the Design Bureau worked on the modernization of the BT-7 tank and the development of a new BT-9 tank, distinguished by the presence of six driving wheels, a diesel engine, a conical tower with a 45-mm or 76-mm cannon and inclined armor. The joint work of Koshkin and Dick did not work out, they accused each other of incorrect design decisions, of disrupting, and sometimes sabotaging, the works. The number of mutual complaints grew, but the work did not move.

The Moscow leadership was tired of conflicts, and in September 1937 the tank KB-190 was divided into two. A separate design bureau, led by Dick, was directly subordinated to the chief engineer of the plant, and Doroshenko, Tarshinov, Gorbenko, Morozov, and Vasiliev became the heads of sections in the design bureau. The design bureau was to replenish 50 graduates of the military academy, and as a consultant they brought in the famous tank test captain Kulchitsky.

Koshkin remained the head of KB-190, which was supposed to be exclusively engaged in the development of modernized versions of the BT-7, and the design bureau was to develop a new tank BT-9 (BT-20), serial production was supported by KB-35.

In October 1937, a TTT was issued for a new wheeled-tracked tank with three pairs of driving wheels, a frontal armor thickness of 25 mm, a 45 mm or 76,2 mm cannon and a diesel engine.

The development of the new tank was based on the concept of Firsov, which was further developed by Morozov and Tarshinov. The wave of arrests that swept through the plant in November-December 1937 disorganized the work on the new tank, Dick was accused of disrupting the work, who was arrested in April 1938 and sentenced to ten years, this ended his career.

Koshkin completes the development of the tank


Further it is not entirely clear how Koshkin in those conditions creates a KB-24 and continues work on a new tank. At least in mid-March 1938, at a meeting of the board of the Armored Command and at the end of March at a meeting of the Defense Committee, the design of the wheeled and tracked tank was presented by Koshkin and Morozov. The preliminary design of the tank was approved with comments increasing the reservation to 30 mm and installing a 76,2 mm gun. At the same time, under the direction of Koshkin, at the end of 1938, the BT-7M tank with a B2 engine was developed and put into serial production, which confirmed the possibility of using a new diesel engine on the tank.

Koshkin continued to fight for the tracked version of the tank, and in September 1938 the plant was tasked with developing two versions of the tank: the wheel-tracked A20 and the tracked A-20G (A32).

To combine efforts, all three design bureaus of the plant are combined into one KB-520 headed by Koshkin, Morozov became deputy chief designer, and Kucherenko became deputy head of the design bureau. In the shortest possible time, tank samples were made, and in June-August 1939 they were tested at the training ground in Kharkov. Both tanks passed the test, but the design of the A-32 was much simpler due to the lack of complex wheeled propulsors and had a margin of weight.

In September, when showing armored vehicles to the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the A-20 and A32 participated, where the latter performed very effectively. According to the results of tests and shows, it was decided to stay on the tracked version of the A-32 tank, increasing its armor protection to 45 mm.

Urgent production of two A-32 tanks began at the plant. Knots and parts of the tank were carefully made and meticulously assembled, threaded joints were saturated with hot oil, and the exterior surfaces of the hull and turret were carefully finished. Experienced apparatchik Koshkin knew perfectly well that when showing tanks to the top leadership there are no trifles.

Then there was the well-known tank run from Kharkov to Moscow, the successful showing of tanks to Stalin in the Kremlin, the run back to Kharkov, Koshkin’s illness and tragic death. After the show at the highest level, the tanks were tested on the Kubinka and the Karelian Isthmus, the tank was highly appreciated by Stalin himself, he was given a ticket to life.

So, the design genius of Firsov and the organizational talents of Koshkin were able to create a machine that became the symbol of Victory in that terrible war under the conditions of the unfolding repression and misunderstanding by the military of the prospects for the development of tanks. Both of them, undoubtedly, made an enormous contribution to the creation of this machine, but to attribute all laurels only to Koshkin is unfair.

The concept of the tank and its layout was conceived by Firsov, under his leadership, the main components of the tank were developed in the design bureaus, and specialists who began to design the tank under the guidance of Firsov completed the development of the tank. The backbone of the leading designers was saved, and Koshkin in that tragic situation organized the work to complete the development of the tank and secured its adoption. The names of Firsov and Koshkin, as the main designers of the T-34, can worthily stand nearby.

          There was only a concept or a blueprint, it could just be in words, it seems, was developed by Firsov, and the tank itself and all the drawings were designed by the design bureau led by Koshkin, when Firsov had not been at the factory for three years. The question is what does Firsov have to do with it?

        This cannot be. So, as the people, in spite of Stalin defeated the Germans, so in spite of the rest they created tanks and everything else. Similarly, the composer takes folk tunes and creates a symphony, or somewhere else. And then people with diplomas come, put their signatures and say that the product is their work. The American historian wrote about the battle of Moscow as follows: then Zhukov surpassed the Far Eastern troops near Moscow and defeated the Germans. Apparently he imagined so that Zhukov could do everything he wanted.

      I discovered this secret, only I can share. They wanted to build a tank under this name in the USA. They even figured out where to put the rollers, but did not have time. In the USSR, having guessed from the skating rinks that it would not be a tractor, but a tank, this idea with skating rinks was stolen and the USSR designers created the T-34 tank on the basis of these skating rinks, which offended not only the USA, but also Hitler. Now it doesn’t matter who invented the rollers for tanks, it is important who put them and released them together with the tank. A lot of things could whistle in the States, but the designers of Stalin managed to do this earlier than the US guys thought of it. Of course, thanks to the USA people for beating the Germans in Stalingrad and grinding them in the Kursk. It was they who released the prisoners of Auschwitz and stormed Berlin. They could have done even more, but their impulse was spent on how to defeat the Red Army, but the USSR did not help them and this undertaking failed. Now of course, you need to gouge the history of the USSR, as today's stories are absolutely not glued. So you need to confuse the gyrus, and not allow the gray cells to decide for themselves. Is the USSR correctly defeated the West, or wrong ?!

    In principle, the author briefly told everything. That the "thirty-four concept" has been incorporated into the KhPZ projects since the mid-30s, gradually crystallizing. Was Koshkin the only father of the T-34? No. But if he is not the "father" of this tank, then what is his merit? And here the answer is only one - it is huge. Being an excellent organizer, he was able to discard all unnecessary and direct the work of the KB in the right direction. Before him, all good ideas and designs simply "perished" because of the turnover, since the designers were simply "torn apart" to solve specific every minute tasks. That led to constant disruptions in experimental design work ... and in particular for this reason, the chief designers were periodically "cleaned up", which should be very much regretted. But no one at that time ideas about the formation of "sharashek", where these "pests" could "honestly, wash away all their sins and sins" did not occur to anyone ... these ideas came later, when many of these people were already destroyed. So, a huge THANKS to everyone who, in spite of everything, was able to generate an idea, carry out all the design work and organize the production of "the tank of our VICTORY"

      And it was Koshkin who, using all his connections dating back to the Civil War and the times of party work, brought to the very top that everything had already "crystallized" and it was necessary to start production without wasting time, while bringing it to mind ..

        Do not overestimate the role of designers, albeit the main ones in this process. They were still executors of the task. And then there were the directors of factories, workers of the People's Commissariat, and most importantly there was the main customer - the People's Commissariat of Defense, which set the main task for the development of equipment. And it was NKO that was given the task of KB 183 of the plant to design new medium tanks, both wheeled and tracked and tracked. And it was not the chief designer who decided which tank would eventually go into production, namely the military, taught by the bitter experience of Spain, Halkin-Gol, and most importantly the "winter war"

          To conduct a "presentation" Koshkin used all his acquaintances with the country's leadership to meet with Stalin. Or do you also think that the run was carried out on a collective farm and at your own expense? That the unhindered run passed thanks to God and Mars, the NKVD temporarily closed its eyes, lost its vigilance, so to speak?

            This "presentation" was needed not only by Koshkin, but by the director of the plant, Maksarev, who was appointed to this position in the 38th year (and where did the new one go?) And, most importantly, People's Commissar Malyshev. That's who moved the show of this tank to Stalin. And since for this it was necessary for the tanks to successfully pass a certain minimum of tests, then it was decided to send the tanks to Moscow on their own in order to roll off the required minimum mileage. By the way, the tanks were moving along the roads, everyone who lived in the slightest degree in Russia and the USSR should imagine what our country roads are in fact in winter. These are quite normal "directions" for tracked vehicles ...
            More difficulties arose when these cars returned during the thaw that had begun.

                He wouldn't have had enough strength for that. Moreover, he was "Sergo's man", and this then already caused "sidelong glances." Yes, he could have suggested this, but people from the People's Commissariat, who were also interested in this, promoted and coordinated this issue. And the main interested party was Malyshev. Only with his support could such a run take place, otherwise, as soon as the tanks, secret experimental tanks, would leave the territory of the plant and go "somewhere, to the side", NKVD task forces would rush in pursuit of them, and arrests would be made at the plant.

                REPORT NOTE

                About structural defects and delay in production of the release of new A-34 tanks at factory No. 183 in Kharkov

                When designing the tank A-34, under the leadership of the chief designer of the plant number 183 engineer. KOSHKINA, a number of defects were identified that affect the combat qualities of the machine.
                The driver’s booth of the first prototype of the tank was created from the conditions of a large view forward and to the sides, due to which it turned out without an exit - a hatch for the driver and an arrow located next to him. The last exit from the car was provided through the hatch of the tower.
                The lack of a hatch in the driver's booth, in addition to inconvenience, will greatly affect the team's fatigue before the fight. In addition, if in a combat situation the tower hatch is jammed, the whole team will be locked in the car and will not be able to exit.
                The representative of ABTU PANOV was aware of the matter, but nevertheless agreed to the design of the booth without a hatch, without sharply raising the question before Koshkin about ensuring the design and side view and the hatch in the driver's booth.
                KOSHKIN and his deputy MOROZOV, instead of working towards creating a structure with a hatch and a side view, raised the question: either with a hatch without a view, or a side view, but without a hatch.
                The above design of the booth was canceled by the head of ABTU RKKA Comcor Comrade. Pavlov when armor parts were already made.
                KOSHKIN instructed the designer of the transmission group BARONU to design the second version of the booth with a hatch for the driver, who had never worked on armored parts and considers himself incompetent in this work. As a result, the design of the driver's booth with a hatch turned out to be weak in strength, unable to withstand the impact of shells.
                In addition, in the BARON construction booth, it is possible to open the hatch only when the gun barrel is withdrawn, for which the driver needs to rotate the latter 90 degrees.
                All the design flaws of the driver's booth were promptly indicated by the head. hull section, design engineer TARSHINOV, who considered this project unsuitable for serial machines.
                Koshkin, instead of taking these remarks into account and instructing an experienced designer - a corpsman to make a project without these defects, ordered to urgently detail the driver's booth according to the design of BARON.
                Pointing out the design flaws of the booth, the engineer TARSHINOV himself proposed to develop the project of the latter, but was sent by KOSHKIN on a business trip to the mountains. Mariupol, although there was no need for him to go.
                Returning from a business trip, engineer TARSHINOV developed and proposed a booth design with side views and a hatch, for the opening of which it is not necessary to rotate the tower. In addition, the entire booth is able to withstand the impact of shells.
                Due to the change in the armor parts of the booth, the driver, the assembly of the body of the second prototype of the car was delayed for two weeks. The cost of all these alterations and additional parts is about 100 thousand rubles.
                In order to cover up squandering funds, KOSHKIN prepares a driver’s booth for launching according to the design of BARON, and according to the design of engineer TARSHINOV, the production will for some reason be carried out as a prototype.
                In addition, according to our data, a big drawback of the tank design is that only 38 machine-gun disks fit in the car, which clearly reduces the combat power of the car.

                        Koshkin, unlike Firsov and Dick, was a WINNER. He was able to fulfill the task of the party and government, but his previous comrades failed him. The saddest thing is that the same Firsov, several years earlier, was the same winner, even received a state award, but it was worth identifying a number of serious design flaws in the tanks produced by the KhPZ, as he was remembered by all his past real and imaginary sins, demoted, arrested , condemned and shot ...
                        But with Dick, everything is somehow strange, in the middle of the summer of the 37th he arrived at the KhPZ, got KB under his leadership, started working, but in the autumn a commission arrived and in November of the 37th he was already arrested, convicted and sent to camps. .. He was simply not allowed to work at all. And why, this is a big mystery.
                        I am sure that a similar fate could have awaited Koshkina, had not slowed down the "molokh of repression" momentum. And the fact that "daddies" were constantly filling him, so I have no doubt about it. Firstly, because of the general atmosphere of denunciations, and secondly, because of the specific manner of his leadership, he himself liked to immediately punish guilty workers, draftsmen and engineers, with a stick, with which he constantly walked, from behind below his back ... so that people were offended by him

It is difficult today to understand whose contribution in this matter is the most impressive. At the same time, we do not know the whole background of the fate of this car. Of the 4 million denunciations written in those years, there were many around those people associated with this machine. It was a very difficult time then. Few thought about what became the reason for the mass denunciation and perjury at different periods in different countries. The answer lies on the surface. A lust for whistleblowing from a false sense of justice is evidence of mental illness. Knocked - people with mental disorders. It is hard to believe it, but even today such patients are found. Few of them were lucky, right there in the trail of him a bunch of spiteful critics hung a hundred crimes. No one has investigated anything yet, but he is already, in the words of many idlers, in the "camp of the enemy."

      In principle, the author briefly told everything. That the "thirty-four concept" has been incorporated into the KhPZ projects since the mid-30s, gradually crystallizing. Was Koshkin the only father of the T-34? No. But if he is not the "father" of this tank, then what is his merit? And here the answer is only one - it is huge. Being an excellent organizer, he was able to discard all unnecessary and direct the work of the KB in the right direction. Before him, all good ideas and designs simply "perished" because of the turnover, since the designers were simply "torn apart" to solve specific every minute tasks. That led to constant disruptions in experimental design work ... and in particular for this reason, the chief designers were periodically "cleaned up", which should be very much regretted. But no one at that time ideas about the formation of "sharashek", where these "pests" could "honestly, wash away all their sins and sins" did not occur to anyone ... these ideas came later, when many of these people were already destroyed. So, a huge THANKS to everyone who, in spite of everything, was able to generate an idea, carry out all the design work and organize the production of "the tank of our VICTORY"

      I agree. Israel Tal "Father of the Merkava" had nothing to do with the design of armored vehicles, but it was he who managed to create both a design school and a full-fledged tank production in a country with a population of 4 million people. An organizer and leader in production is just as important as a talented designer.

      And on the other hand, you understand that if it were not for these "efforts" of the NKVD, then many of our designers of military equipment and weapons (and not only) would continue to toil with foolishness, scribbling denunciations at each other in a fight for funding and awards with orders, but the matter stood would. Suffice it to recall Taubin, who promised a lot, but did not accomplish, and thanks to him, our promising fighters in that war were left without a 23-mm cannon, Tupolev, who finally took up his mind only in the "sharashka". And there are enough other high-profile names. Naturally, some of them were very unlucky - they were shot, not to say that it was not entirely for the cause, but probably it was possible to do without such radical measures. Others, sitting in "sharags", handed out equipment to the mountain, on which the Red Army won and eventually entered Berlin.
      As for who was the chief designer of the T-34: if, in short, Firsov developed the concept of a medium tank, which became the evolutionary development of the BT series: the BT-2-7 - A-20 - T-32 - T-34 line. In this regard, it is impossible to call the T-34 design (by the way, not the most successful in many respects and definitely not the most reliable and technologically advanced, but without a doubt - the most maintainable, which was the most important for those conditions) breakthrough is impossible - everything that was used on the T- 34: (relatively) anti-cannon armor with rational slope angles, Christie suspension, etc. was already. The main thing in the design of the T-34 is that all this is combined together. Morozov finalized the design of the tank, and Koshkin managed to organize the work of the OKB and, as they would say now, to present the tank to the command of the Red Army and the country's leadership. I mean the mentioned mileage of tanks from Kharkov to Moscow and back. It cost Koshkin his life, but gave the country a tank, albeit not the most perfect, but surprisingly in time appeared, on which our tankers met the enemy on the western border in 41 (frankly, not very successfully) and on which in 45 Europe.

        Yes, this is still half the trouble ... The trouble was that the designers could, at will, spend the money allocated for specific projects. Stalin aptly called this process "inventive itch." Korolyov, why did he suffer? It is for this.

          I agree with you. But to cover all in one comment is impossible. To do this, you need to write a detailed article. More than one monograph has already been written about the ups and downs in the creation, acceptance on armament and production launch of the T-34. Many well-known specialist historians in the field of armored vehicles and the use of tank troops wrote about this. Repeating them is an ungrateful work and I see no point in this. And the main merit of Koshkin as one of the main designers of the T-34 Victory tank is that he managed to organize the design bureau’s work to finalize the tank’s design and achieve its adoption by the Red Army, including and having organized a run from Kharkov to Moscow and back.

In my opinion, the NGO did not really understand what the army needed. And to look around the mind was not enough. The West abandoned the wheeled-tracked propellers, and the non-profit organizations held on to it until 1939. In addition, in order to support new ideas, it was necessary to give the designers the opportunity to work independently, and not to reduce them into one design bureau. In the USSR they loved, for political purposes, to create legends about the nuggets of their people, and they simply hushed up about the repressions.

                      You're right, the creation of rocket-propelled guards mortars was pure sabotage. The USSR could neither make properly, nor afford economically such a weapon. The USSR, very poor in gunpowder and high-quality shells, spent resources for the production of both on fireworks.

          According to Ilyushin’s planes, it’s known for sure - because of the failure to deliver M-6 guns and disruptions in the supply of ShVAK guns (which replaced the Taubin guns with IL-2 before entering a large series of VY guns), 146 vehicles got stuck in the plant with varying degrees of readiness. Exactly half of the number that was available on July 1, 1941.
          Further, about LaGG-3 - in total, the MP-6 guns were to receive cars from the 4th (partially) to the 13th factory series - this means 85 cars. Plus, the machines from the 1st to the 4th (partially) factory series (35 cars) received only machine guns due to the non-delivery of VY.
          (factory series should not be confused with industrial ones - that is, LaGG-3 of the 4th factory series is not LaGG-3 of the 4th series)
          For the retrofitting of these machines, they removed the underwing 12,7mm machine guns from the Mig-3
          In total, about a quarter of the available Lugg-3 did not have time to fly to the front in the summer and fall or were not mastered by the pilots due to a two-three-month delay in readiness

                        The features of those years when decisions on important technological issues were sometimes developed by the incompetent authorities, and only on the basis of certain promises, contributed to the fact that some gun designers, out of a desire to "move forward," took the path that damaged the business and was dangerous for themselves. It happened with the designer Taubin, who was developing one of the designs of the 23-mm aircraft gun. [...] This gun was the best [...] if Taubin did not want to prematurely “show off” not only his achievements, but also those that he did not have. He did just that, declaring the underestimated weight, dimensions and recoil force of the gun and thereby achieving the highlight of his project. [...] The shortcomings themselves were eliminated hastily. At the same time, Taubin was guided mainly by the so-called “design intuition”, did not study or analyze the reasons for his failure, and his attempts to fulfill the promise were unsuccessful.


                        Who is to blame that people like Taubin became "indigenous" in the country's aviation armament? (And who writes these memoirs)))

                        Why was Taubin arrested and executed? After all, all his products were at the level of the best world designs. In some ways they were inferior, and in some ways they exceeded their competitors. Designer A.E. Nudelman lived in the same staircase with me, and we talked several times about the history of OKB-16. Alexander Emanuilovich well remembered the events of the 1930s – 1940s and eagerly talked about them. Regarding the arrest of Taubin, he said briefly that this was the work of Shpitalny and Co., and he abruptly changed the subject.

                        Maybe he’s right - they didn’t stand on ceremony with their competitors. But if the denunciation from OKB-15 had decided the matter, then surely the closure of the entire OKB-16 would have followed. However, this did not happen. Together with Taubin from OKB-16, only M.N. Baburin was arrested. The new head of OBK-16 was appointed Nudelman. Therefore, the version that the denunciation was written by one of his own people to whom Taubin’s departure was beneficial seems to be much more justified. We will be able to put all the dots over “i” when Taubin’s case is declassified.

              What kind of work? Taubin did not do anything to fine-tune the MP-6 in the time allotted to him. After six months of refinement during testing, the serial MP-6 gun worked worse than the experimental VY.
              Not a single cannon produced by TWO factories passed acceptance. Zero pieces. Somehow they installed either 12 pieces on the planes, or 18 with negative results. And this was in March 1941. That actually caused the well-known "denunciation" of Taubin and pulled the whole chain.

              Taubin kept repeating the same thing over and over: he made an extremely lightweight concept for store food, then during the production of an experimental batch he began to remake it for ribbon food, arranged a mess with CD, tape versions predictably refused to work, Taubin lost interest in them - and embarked on a new adventure.
              The first sample of the design usually looks like a candy ... This is a masterpiece of lightness, grace, in some ways even simplicity. It comes out abruptly one by one some bright parameter from the TTZ - you wanted a 23 mm gun weighing about 53-55 kg. Great - here ... we made it - it weighs 40 kg. While everyone is stunned with happiness, the fallen jaws are picked up - well, another 9 ku is quickly added, the "system of continuous supply of shells" weighs, but these are trifles. Where does the filing come from? From the clip. True, there are still a lot of delays and the rate of fire is half that of TTZ, but how light, how compact (if you do not look at the weapons store). Well, we'll finish everything now, etc. not a cannon but a candy. Everything will be all. By the way, we designed different stores for her - for all occasions. Then the circus begins. A weapon with fascinating characteristics a priori becomes a favorite, the main thing is to bring it up. And here the fine-tuning of the original simple and elegant design turns into building knots, details and details on it. How from MP-3 with a rate of fire of 300 rpm made MP-6 at 600 rpm. Two additional and very complex assemblies were added to the existing weapon design, two versions of the clip were made, three versions of the magazines were created - and for different clips. A different type of case has been created. All this is complemented by the extreme administrative negligence that is the corporate identity of the KB. As an example: 2 23mm cannons are sent to Ilyushin for testing to be installed on the Il-2. Having already arrived at the design bureau and installed on the plane, it suddenly turns out that the right and left cannons are fed by different types of ammunition (different casings) and these casings are loaded into different clips - not interchangeable. To the roar of Ilyushin - how can you - the answer follows, and what's wrong with that - we are now improving everything, but for now, here you have other shells and clips for another gun ... While so test. And to pubs ... - shells and clips of the THIRD generation that are not suitable for either of the two guns that have already been supplied arrive at the design bureau.

              But in order for it to work with power from the tape, Nudelman had to construct a new tape receiver and change the shot to 23x115. For with the original 23x152 the gun worked poorly, but not for long.

                  Well, since you consider it unique, you probably know a lot about it, but you just missed a real trifle:
                  Since January 1932, he worked in the organs of the OGPU — NKVD as a trainee in the economic department ... ... NKVD, NKVD, NKVD ... ... on February 25, 1941 he was appointed deputy People's Commissar of Internal Affairs of the USSR, and on July 19, 1941 at the same time and the head of the Department of special departments of the NKVD of the USSR (3rd Directorate of the GUGB of the NKVD of the USSR), which in July 1943 was transformed into SMERSH. On April 19, 1943 he was appointed to the post of head of the Main Directorate of Counterintelligence SMERSH and Deputy People's Commissar of Defense.
                  That's bad luck, until 1943 there is no NGO, and after 1943 SMERSH it is not an NGO! How, without knowing such things, to judge that time ?!

He sold rockets in the market, or what?). Secondly, if the only metal aircraft specialist in the country wants an American refrigerator, give him a refrigerator. What is the problem? What is this other topic of conversation, should Tupolev have a refrigerator in the country or not?

                        During the investigation, Korolev found himself guilty of the fact that he was involved in the Trotskyite-wrecking organization in 1935 by the former technical director of research institute No. 3 Langemak (convicted).
                        On the instructions of the anti-Soviet organization, Korolev carried out wrecking work to disrupt the development and commissioning of new weapons of the Red Army
                        (ld 21-35, 53-55; 66-67, 238-239).

                        Stories of mother's Stalinists that in fact, he was tried for the case, and Trotskyism was simply copied from habit I already heard.

                        For a government account, he developed a homing missile, without at least some malomalski working GSN

                        In this case, the lies of political officers are successfully supplemented by your illiteracy.
                        In 1936, he led the development of a powder winged torpedo; knowing in advance that the main parts of this torpedo — devices with photocells — for controlling a torpedo and aiming it at a target, cannot be manufactured by a central wire communication laboratory,

                        From this description comrade a prosecutor at a reader like you faces the Soviet Stalin Helfair. In reality, there was no question of pointing at the target. Rocket 06, which Korolev worked on in the 36th year, did not fly 200 meters during the tests (and who did it fly more in the 36th year?). The task of the control system on photocells is to distinguish the bright sky from the dark earth and provide the product with a relatively horizontal flight through the control of the planes. The distortion with the photocells was invented only because the Soviet industry did not master much of the normal way — the gyroscope. But in general, the Queen didn’t give a damn, the photocells there or, I don’t know, AFAR. Its task is to develop a scheme for the use of control planes in the CR.
                        The same problem at the stage of developing SD was solved by both Germans and Americans. Regardless of the type of SU. This task belongs to the glider, and not to the SU, and yes, this is a separate serious task. How to achieve that the brainless piece of iron just flew forward, and not up or down.
                        It was such tasks that it was time to solve in the late 30s. As the Germans decided from the 33rd year. Americans yes, Americans joined in the 42nd and went this way in a couple of years. But not everyone is lucky to be born Americans.

                        Andrei Nikolaevich Tupolev, who did so much for the Soviet country, slept for 4 years on the bunk on the following charges:
                        The Tupolev case of A. N. Launched on January 7, 1938, January 1939, 4 days, senior investigator of the NKVD investigative unit, State Security Lieutenant Esipenko, having examined the investigation case No. 14415 on charges of A.

                        ... At present, evidence has been received from the arrested Nekrasov and Walter, incriminating Tupolev as one of the leaders of terrorist activities in the counter-revolutionary Cadet-Fascist organization that existed in Moscow and called itself the Russian-fascist party. Tupolev was arrested on October 21.10.37, 3. He was awarded 29 Orders of Lenin, Orders of the Red Star and the Red Banner of Labor. The son of a landowner. The head of the design bureau of NAGI, deputy director of TsAGI, lives: 33 Kalyaevskaya street, apt. XNUMX.
                        Tupolev grouped anti-Soviet people in TsAGI, created an anti-Soviet organization and engaged in wrecking work in the field of aviation industry

                        *58.1. Any action aimed at overthrowing, undermining or weakening the power of the Workers 'and Peasants' Soviets and existing on the basis of the Constitution of the RSFSR is recognized as counter-revolutionary. Workers 'and Peasants' Government, as well as actions in the direction of assistance to that part of the international bourgeoisie that does not recognize the equality of the communist property system that is replacing capitalism and seeks to overthrow it through intervention or blockade, espionage, financing the press, etc.

                        Counter-revolutionary is also recognized as such an action which, not being directly aimed at achieving the above goals, however, knowingly for the perpetrator, contains an attempt on the main political or economic achievements of the proletarian revolution.
                        58.6. Participation in an organization acting for the purposes referred to in Article 58.1 of this Code by inciting the population to mass unrest, tax evasion and failure to fulfill duties or by any other means to the detriment of the dictatorship of the working class and the proletarian revolution, even if an armed uprising or armed invasion was the immediate task of this organization,

                        Is it good?

                        Of course it’s good, I will answer. Good but not enough. The man who served one of the most abominable regimes in human history deserves much more. (Is condescension to Tupolev possible? Yes, it is possible. Tupolev served 4 out of his 15 years, Messerschmitt - two)

                        But is this reasonable from a military point of view? Did this interfere with his work as an aircraft designer?

                        And so it goes - you answer. Apparently, you hate the Soviet regime even more than me, colleague. I would support both the arrest and the execution of Tupolev, but after the war, and not before.

                        Like Shakhurina.

And the fact that Tupolev was dissolving his language before his release is well known, and his chatter in the circle of "like-minded people" may well be defined as "organization and agitation." And his activities, before the deadline, significantly hampered the development of bomber aviation in the USSR. So the term was good, if not Tupolev, then the country for sure.

                        And we are still far from the imagination of the Chechens, with their fake advice notes, as far as the moon, to the pyramids a la Khoper, to the permission to buy real values ​​for industrial non-cash payments to "cooperators", and for the artificial bankruptcy of strategic enterprises and their subsequent destruction of interested parties with families to the wall you need to put!
                        What are your interesting associations with the USSR of the 30s.

                        Well, of course, it's easy to "mow" a fool, it's easier than to admit that everything described above falls under:

                        58-7. Undermining state industry, transport, trade, money circulation or the credit system, as well as cooperation, committed for counter-revolutionary purposes through the appropriate use of state institutions and enterprises, or opposing their normal activities
                        And act this article, then avisovschiki, MMM-shchiki and other trash, if it had not been destroyed, then it would have sat down for a long time! Or do you think that scammers, thieves and "raiders" are innocent sheep?
                        Quote: Octopus
                        However, I declare that, for example, Churchill was an Anglophile. Worse, he was an enemy of Soviet power. But this did not stop Churchill from helping the USSR fight with the Reich, while at large
                        How pleasant it would be for Churchill to help Hitler, do not diplomatically outplay both of them. And Church helped Stalin only during the war, moreover, the Great Patriotic War, and not the TDC.
                        Quote: Octopus
                        Therefore, I am interested in specific names. How did the arrest or death of these people relate to the defenses of the Soviet homeland on the threshold and during the Great War? Strengthened or, conversely, weakened? This question seems important to me in the context of who was the enemy of the people there.
                        Should I deal with each specific case? Is this a too impudent demand? Tupolev is enough, as is the "Industrial Party Cases" oversufficient. Unfortunately, there were enemies of the people in the NKVD too. And they brought their harm, but this is not a reason for all engineers and scientists to imagine them as angels in the flesh.
                        Quote: Octopus
                        Some of them at least separate Putin's state from the Russian people (cf. Hitlers come and go, and the people are German, but the German state remains), and some do not consider it necessary to do this.
                        By the way, one of our differences with Solzhenitsyn. He considered the Russian people an innocent victim of Soviet power. I do not think.
                        It is very rare that an anti-Soviet does not hide the fact that he is a Russophobe, a bit of respect for you for this.

                        Significantly worse than what result?
                        Than American. The history of the USSR did not end in the 45th year.
                        Are you talking about the A-project? So even if we assume that it is seamless with the American, and this is not so, the results are comparable, with undoubtedly less resources of the USSR. The space project showed the superiority of the USSR in this matter, and it was under Werner Light Brown then in the service of the United States. Well, etc. If you are talking about the murder of the USSR, then this is largely due to the accumulation in the country of people like you, but do not imagine, in many ways, but not in everything. An analogue to this, when a flowering athlete and smart girl, a neighbor, a drug-addict, stuck a speedy sharpening into the liver, when this athlete had the imprudence to substitute his side.

                        The innocent were not condemned, yes. For the sake of comrade Arkhangelsk subordinates comrade Beria was too lazy to stamp a tattered piece of paper about Trotskyism. He trumpeted for 3 years in the same sharaga without a sentence, as a prisoner as a prisoner.

                        Your understanding of law is quite Stalinist.
                        It falls under different articles. For example, the Hoper, which is so attached to you, is
                        169. Abuse of trust or deception in order to obtain property or the right to property or other personal benefits (fraud), - imprisonment for up to two years.

                        As for the Chechen memos, the perpetrators of this are well known and have never been hidden - B.N. Yeltsin and V.V. Gerashchenko, then chairman of the Central Bank (he, by the way, is alive). It was they, with current money, who gave the Central Bank of the DPR the right to print rubles. I have to draw your attention to the fact that there are no questions for these people on these matters there was and no. They are not Trotskyists.

                        Another replayer.
                        Nonetheless. The joint work of the Soviet government and the Anglophiles in the presence of a common cause is quite possible, as it turned out.

                        I did not ask anything about the case of the Industrial Party. You are right, it’s in the same piggy bank, but earlier, so it’s more difficult to trace the connection with defense capability.

                        In the case of Korolev, the task was to ensure horizontal flight in a given direction. In fact, to come up with an autopilot, at a price and size comparable to a powder rocket, not an airplane. To the accuracy there to swim and swim.
                        And yes, Korolev most likely underestimated the complexity of the task.

                        It is very convenient that your two statements stand side by side.
                        I completely agree with you. The Russian people of labor and science deserve this.

Here is the expression "pounding in the eyes" it looks like about you. And the industry of the USSR before the war mastered not just what Sperry, Anshutz mastered, albeit for ships not lower than rank 2!.

                        What nonsense! Korolev did the rocket and the KR and didn’t normally! Controls are not his diocese!

                        Translated to closed mode, as in Los Alamos.

                        Actually, the prison in which our out-of-office life took place occupied the top three floors on the street. Radio. There were three large bedrooms overlooking the courtyard, dining room, kitchen, sanitary unit and a monkey. Numerous administration and security premises overlooked the street. Three of these floors communicated with the rest, where we worked, with one internal staircase. We did not have our own punishment cell and took the guilty to Butyrki.
                        We were awakened at 7 in the morning, time until 8 was allotted for cleaning the bedrooms, washing, shaving, physical exercises, etc. From 8 to 9 there was breakfast, after which we worked until one o’clock in the afternoon, when we went to dinner. From 2 to 7 again work, then rest until 8, dinner and free time until 11, when the lights were off. The check was carried out at night, in the beds when we were sleeping.
                        Closer to the war, the working day was extended to 10 hours, and from the spring of 1941 to 12. They fed well enough, for breakfast - kefir, tea, butter, porridge; two-course lunch and compote; for dinner - a hot dish, kefir, butter, tea. For those who worked after dinner at 10 o’clock in the dining room brought yogurt and bread.
                        After the camps, such food was reminiscent of Lukul feasts

                        But the arrested tried as best they could - after all, they were promised that after a successful test of the designed aircraft they will be allowed to go home

                        They wrote, but I almost got to this:
                        recognized the wrecking on the construction of the “DBA” aircraft, delays in the construction of stratospheric aircraft along DB-2, RD, VIT, DB-3, I-21, PB, SB, DMP;
                        - admitted that he thwarted Gromov’s flight to establish a range, thwarted in 1935 the government’s planned flight of Levanevsky through the North Pole to America, and in 1937, a number of wrecking acts led to the death of the crew of Levanevsky’s plane while flying to America through the North Pole. In 1924 he was recruited by Morgulis for espionage in favor of France. While in Paris in 1935, he personally transmitted espionage information about fighter planes and light bombers to French Minister of Aviation Denin.
                        At the interrogation on 23.11.38/XNUMX/XNUMX, Tupolev refused testimony regarding espionage.
                        Tupolev refused only from testimony regarding espionage. This is what you brazenly kept silent! And here's another:
                        Of the contracts concluded by PSU NKOP, only two Douglas and Consteleited should be recognized as effective, the rest of the contracts for Valti combat aircraft and Glen-Martin civilian aircraft, due to their flight technical and technical backwardness, do not represent any price for us

                        Also from the Internet, it is also not particularly checked, but the Tupolev case is far from all laid out, even the accusatory part, to put it mildly, is not all. And about the cadets of the fascist democrats, it’s funny, yes, if you don’t know about fascist Italy, are you aware of fascist Italy?

It was planned to carry out stabilization and control of missiles in flight using telemechanical devices, when flying missiles along a light beam from a searchlight directed at a target. The control system was to be developed by the Institute of Telemechanics, the missiles themselves were designed by the RNII. The missile was made in two versions, 271 / I and 217 / II:

In 1924 he was recruited by Morgulis for espionage in favor of France. While in Paris in 1935, he personally transmitted espionage information about fighter planes and light bombers to French Minister of Aviation Denin.
                        At the interrogation on 23.11.38/XNUMX/XNUMX, Tupolev refused testimony regarding espionage.

                        McCarthy is a heavy drinking parliamentary chatterbox. The culprit is Eisenhower. And not at all because McCarthy indulged. And because he himself was smeared with cooperation with the Councils on the ears and translated McCarthy’s activity in investigating the anti-American activities of Roosevelt, Truman and the State Department into a safe path for himself against Charlie Chaplin, gays and blacks.

                        Eisenhower was not Charlie Chaplin, gay or black. Eisenhower was an incompetent fool, a coward, a liar and a traitor. Naturally, he tried to ensure that these last categories of the population did not suffer from McCarthy terror.

                        No PV at 216 was required, and there were no tricks, it needed autopilot and some sort of flight stability, which was not there either. If you persist in FE in 216 missiles, then you are either an idiot or a troll.

Just like an unrecognizable balabol, corrugation in the case of Tupolev, this is corrugated aircraft skin! And in the case of the Tupolev all-metal aircraft, this corrugation was everywhere, even the record ANTs were with corrugated lining, the first one was for sure, just the corrugation was covered with percale and some kind of filler. And Tupolev held on to this corrugation to the last and this is one of the motives for his sabotage of aircraft of other designers.

                        For 10 years, from the end of the "battleship vacation" to the end of WWII, Britain and the USA together, major maritime powers, built no more than your 15 LK. Of these, only 4 are close to pr 23, the rest are significantly weaker.
                        Especially good comrade. Stalin guessed right with the timing. "Soviet Russia" was founded a month after the surrender of France. It's time to build battleships, what could go wrong?

                        Those. Korolev also played with your missile launcher for your gss account, but to hell with money, in that case the time passed, the work of specialists went nowhere,

                        The work of specialists went to the Soviet cosmonautics of the 50s. The customer does not like the Soviet cosmonautics of the 50s, but they like the NURSs for the future war (which, to be honest, were done very poorly) - he takes the institute's work plan and crosses out all that is superfluous.
                        Let me remind you that when the old leadership was shot and informers were put in its place, the situation with the NURSs did not improve.
                        More than 150 rocket engines of various types and about 80 jet aircraft were developed in the USSR before World War II. But an impressive number of those and others did not develop into proper quality. Only the above RS-82, RS-132 and one of the subsequent samples of the M-13 powder propellant projectiles passed the full test cycle, they were only taken into service. Of the rest of the list of engines, rockets and jet propelled vehicles, the majority of the tests [we are talking about landfill, not bench tests] were not presented at all and remained only in models or in projects on paper. The same part that was subjected to flight tests, showed, to put it mildly, well, very modest results. And to be completely fundamental, these very so-called tests themselves, in the full sense of the word, were not. And they were only experimental launches, the main purpose of which was to get answers to questions: will this or that newly created construction take off or not take off, and if it takes off, how far will it fly away?

                        Without exception, all work on aircraft jet engines designed and executed in specific forms under the direction of Sergey Pavlovich Korolev was completed either as unpromising or not to achieve the calculated values. None of the products during the test, and especially those on which attempts were made to organize a control system, showed a stable flight or acceptable reliability. None of his aircraft was adopted by the Red Army.

                        The fact that you brazenly threw out important points of accusation

                        I have repeatedly pointed out your sad level of legal awareness. Tupolev was accused of (simplifying):
                        With the aim of assassinating the main political or economic gains of the proletarian revolution
                        1. Spied.
                        2. Undermined industry, trade and transport (sabotage).
                        3. Destroyed transport (terrorism) undermining, arson and other means.
                        4. Participated in the organization of all this disgrace (this is a separate charge).

                        Exactly this - Indictment. The part where articles of the Criminal Code are indicated.

                        By the way, above I incorrectly painted the points on which Tupolev was accused. I took the numbering of points of the 26th year, in the 30th another edition acted.

                        Further comrade Esipenko only sets out the plot of the case:
                        Under paragraph 1, he handed over the blueprints to the French Minister of Aviation (he himself admitted the bastard, but handed it back).
                        According to paragraph 2, I damaged Soviet industry by disrupting the construction of stratospheric aircraft (I myself admitted to it) (stratospheric aircraft were still missing from the USSR of the 30s with its motors. What, say, claims to useless missiles?)
                        Under item 3, I ruined Levanevsky (he himself, a bastard, admitted).
                        According to paragraph 4. I scored pests in TsAGI (and who else?).

                        Absolutely everyone who was involved in this and similar examples of "justice" deserved a place at the wall. Not the Kremlin.

      The Stalinist system created an atmosphere of general suspicion and encouraged denunciations - this time. And the same system, destroying specialists and putting mediocrity and toadies to command posts, justified its mistakes by the subversive activities of the enemies of the people. And denunciations are the results of the system. If earlier a neighbor yelled at another neighbor that his chicken in his garden had torn a garden, now (in the current situation in the country) he wrote a denunciation to the NKVD that his neighbor served Kolchak or Dinikin. A neighbor immediately, without trial, was taken away forever. And now, already, denunciations were scribbling at him. But Stalin is not to blame. The system created by him is to blame.

That T-44 and especially T-54/55 is yes! And it’s a pity that they did not develop the T-12/24, but it looks even more like a modern tank than the T-34-76!

You are mistaken, the T-24 does not closely resemble the M-3 Grant / Lee, they had the main gun in the sponson, unlike the T-24, in which the gun was in the tower, as it should, and the machine-gun turret is such a DUBM in the pre-war manner, which is replaced by the commander’s time to spit. )))

            Not quite so, because the T-24 based on the T-12 was created, and before it there were different BTT models. And the most interesting, it is closest to the modern understanding of the tank, judge, a single MTO, one tower with the main gun, three towers. It remains only to change the machine-gun turret to the commander’s one, accordingly changing the responsibilities of the towers, it’s a little more rational to arrange the frontal part and a decent medium tank is ready! The fact that already in its original form the T-24 succumbed well to modernization can be seen from the photo that I quoted above.

    Who gave you the right to judge the size of a genius? Do you have a special ruler for measuring genius? If you did not know, then the main constructor is first of all head design team, not a loner inventor.

    I venture to incur the wrath of VO subscribers without denying the prominent role of the T-34 tanks in the Victory in the Second World War, but nonetheless from the bell tower of the 21st century:
    1. The inclined shape of the frontal armor and turret was tested on the BT-7.


    2. Instead of the advanced torsion bar suspension, the outdated Christie "candlestick" suspension was used, which occupied almost half of the tank's reserved volume.
    In connection with the project for the "large" modernization of the T-34 tank in the USSR, the question of the development of the suspension was raised as early as September 1940. On November 19, 1940, the resolution of the Defense Committee No. 428 obliged the NKSM and the People’s Commissariat of Defense of the USSR to submit proposals on January 1, 1941, on the transition to the production of T-34 tanks with a new chassis with torsion bar suspension. (Wiki)

    3. The frontal plate of the tank was weakened by the "holes" in the mechanic drive hatch and the machine gun. And if the hatch is a necessary measure because of Christie's suspension (there was nowhere to plant the mechanic drive because of the turret moved forward), then the hole in the course machine gun is not sabotage?

      The frontal plate of the tank was weakened by the "holes" in the mechanic drive hatch and the machine gun. And if the hatch is a necessary measure because of Christie's suspension (there was nowhere to plant the mechanic drive because of the turret moved forward), then the hole in the course machine gun is not sabotage?

      You read the German memories of the T-34 in 1941. There is quiet horror - only an 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun or old 150mm howitzers could penetrate a tank. Ordinary infantry anti-tank guns did not penetrate his frontal armor. It was then that the sub-calibers and the 88mm tank guns appeared. But in 1941 the frontal armor on the T-34 was a miracle as good.
      It is a pity that the lack of normal tank radios and the gearbox, which constantly jammed / wedged in second gear, and depriving the tank of the maneuverability it had put, spoiled the oil painting ....

        It's just that those who knocked out the T-34 without any problems did not leave such memories: they knocked out and drove on. smile
        In fact, taking into account the Germans' love for firing aboard, with the competent construction of the T-34 anti-tank missile, there were no problems for the Germans.
        50-mm anti-tank gun PaK.38, ordinary armor-piercing:
        The 75-mm sheet normal showed the back strength limit of 700 m, the through penetration limit of 400 m. That is, starting from a distance of 700 m and closer PaK.38 can penetrate unshielded HF armor, with 400 m it is guaranteed to break through.
        The 45-mm sheet along the normal showed the through penetration limit of 1500 m, at an angle of 30 degrees to the normal 1300 m.
        That is, PaK.38 confidently hits the T-34 in the side and the tower at any real combat distance.

        37-mm anti-tank gun PaK.36, ordinary armor-piercing:
        The 45-mm sheet normal showed a rear strength limit of 700 meters - that is, starting from 700 meters the “mallet” can dig through the side and the T-34 turret.

        The gearbox did not jam - just shifting gears to the T-34 was dangerous. Firstly, when shifting gears, the tank slowed down to a stop. And secondly, as the Kubinka experts wrote, gear shifting is dangerous. So the driver entered the second - and forward, at 12-14 km / h. And no maneuver of speed. However, the driver didn’t have enough without this activity - he still had to work with leverage with an effort of 35 kg.

      Instead of the advanced torsion bar suspension, the outdated Christie "candlestick" suspension was used, which occupied almost half of the tank's reserved volume.

      Kharkov made a car for himself, he had no experience in torsion bars. A-32 was already a project with an extreme degree of novelty, and even a new suspension could finally bury him. With the afterthought, it was obvious that the best solution at that time for the first half of the 40s was trolleys, but this is the way of Leningraders, and it was Leningraders who went to torsion bars, perhaps prematurely.

    Stalin tried to establish "accounting and control." The trouble was that they needed specialists no less than those who did the main work. That is, it was necessary to take half of the engineers, and instead of doing the actual work, put them to monitor the work of the other half. In the conditions when there were not enough engineers to solve production problems, it would be ridiculous if it were not impossible at all.
    The next problem was the so-called. "specialty". Stalin set up training for young engineers. They came to factories, factories, design bureaus. And who met them there? First of all, workers who have lost the habit (and many have never been able to) work efficiently and hard. And secondly - the communist leadership, with orders and medals, having revolutionary merits, and directed to the factories in terms of the next initiative or recruitment. That is, these people did not understand the ear or the snout in production and management.
    All these "greeters" saw natural enemies in the young engineers. And for every newly arrived engineer, a wave of anonymous denunciations immediately rolled over. And who checked them? They were checked by denunciation specialists. Stalin simply did not have a system to check WORK.
    This is all - the biggest mistake, the biggest fault, the biggest failure of Stalin. Even the management genius, which Stalin undoubtedly was, could not overcome the systemic problems of his basic education. The idea that "there are no irreplaceable" is good during church services, anyone can read prayers and sing psalms. And in science and technology the majority are irreplaceable! Here and now, at this particular moment, it is impossible to change a single person in a well-coordinated engineering team without careful study of this step!

    "Two years before his appointment to Kharkov, he graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and then worked as a designer in the tank design bureau of the Leningrad Kirov Plant. That was the end of his experience in the development of tanks."
    Koshkin in Leningrad continued to develop the design of the Ginzburg tank with T-46-5 (T-111) anti-ballistic armor. But tests showed that the engine was weak, the tracks were narrow (due to which patency was affected), the 45 mm caliber guns were weak. Yes, and the booking left much to be desired. It was there that Koshkin came up with the idea of ​​inclined booking, although it was not new. the reservation was on Mgebrov’s armored car (1914). Projectile armor, a diesel engine, and a powerful gun were in the design of the tank VD Mendeleev, for which the tsar did not allocate money from the treasury. As they say, ideas are in the air. That's where Koshkin got the idea combine all this in one project. He submitted such a project to Ordzhonikidze, after which he was transferred to Kharkov. I fully admit that Firsov also had the same project, but he still had the wheel-tracked one. And Koshkin had to prove the right to develop a purely tracked project through Stalin. permission required not to stop working on the wheeled-tracked A-20.

    Since 1932, at the plant, under the leadership of the chief of diesel cladding, Konstantin Chelpan, the development of the 400-strong tank diesel engine BD-2 (high-speed diesel), the future B2, was carried out. Chelpan has repeatedly testified that a qualified diesel specialist Firsov made a great contribution to the creation of this engine. The military and Stalin personally closely monitored the progress of diesel work. The first sample of the DB-2 was demonstrated to the country's leadership in 1934. For this development, the plant, director Bondarenko and Chelpan were awarded the orders of Lenin.


    Immediately it is necessary to clarify and correct the error. BD-2 was not the future B-2. The future B-2 was the Charomsky aircraft engine, developed in Moscow. BD-2 really never really worked.



    1935 on the desk of the chief designer lay elaborated sketches of a fundamentally new tank: protivosnaryadny booking with large angles of inclination, long-barrel 76,2-mm gun, diesel engine V-2


    In 1935, the V-2 diesel engine could not even be in the sketch. The sketch could have a maximum of BD-2A.
    And B-2 as it was, could appear no earlier than 1938 after a failure in the tests of the BD-2 and a change in the composition of the designers.


    Who was he before? Koshkin was a party functionary and established himself as a good organizer. He was personally acquainted with Ordzhonikidze and Kirov. Two years before his appointment to Kharkov, he graduated from the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and then worked as a designer in the tank design bureau of the Leningrad Plant named after Kirov. On this his experience in the development of tanks ended.


    Koshkin did not just work at factory number 185. He was the deputy of Ginzburg. He was directly involved in the development of the T-29 tank and the prototype T-111 (T-46-5?).






    And if there were experts in tank construction in the USSR of the 30s, then this is Ginzburg. His KB worked with people who had experience working on the TG, T-26, BT and T-28.
    So Koshkin was far from a party functionary. Rather, not only a functionary. In any case, he received the Red Star not on the party line.


    In October 1937, a TTT was issued for a new wheeled-tracked tank with three pairs of driving wheels, a frontal armor thickness of 25 mm, a 45 mm or 76,2 mm cannon and a diesel engine.
    The development of the new tank was based on the concept of Firsov


    Is this somehow documented? Or is this just an assumption by the author of the article?


    Further it is not entirely clear how Koshkin in those conditions creates a KB-24 and continues work on a new tank.


    Initiative of volunteers. He had the authority to do so. Moreover, we were talking about work on the BT-20 (A-20), a wheeled-tracked one.

    Koshkin continued to fight for the tracked version of the tank, and in September 1938 the plant was tasked with developing two versions of the tank: the wheel-tracked A20 and the tracked A-20G (A32).


    No. He does not receive tasks for development. He gets разрешение to develop two machines in parallel. The assignment from him and the plant was only on a wheeled-tracked vehicle.

    I do not want to challenge the position of the authors. Perhaps Koshkin had drawings left over from Firsov. But this is not proven. In any case, the logic of the actions of Koshkin himself is completely understandable and it does not begin with the works of Firsov, but with the work with Ginzburg.
    By the way, Ginzburg as an expert took a very active part in the fate of the future T-34, directly recommending it as a medium tank with anti-ballistic armor.

      The future B-2 was aircraft engine Charomsky, developed in Moscow.

      This is also a misconception: in parallel, several engines were developed, both for aircraft and for armored vehicles, and the B-2 was originally planned for armored vehicles, but in its design there are solutions that were applied both there and there. For example, a cylinder block made of silumin (an alloy of aluminum with silicon).

    The article is very superficial and not accurate.
    In general, why are the T-34s so praised and completely forgotten by the same BT, HF and IS?

      The fact that BT was outdated by 1939 was shown by events in Spain, on Khalkhin Gol and in Finland. There was a quick-firing small-caliber (37 mm) anti-tank artillery. Speed ​​no longer saved. Moreover, the principle of a wheel-caterpillar tank was outdated. Power transmission to the track rollers stole a lot of weight, within the framework of this design it was impossible to strengthen either armor or weapons. HF ... Yes, the reservation was powerful. But in armament with the L-10 or L-11 gun, it was much inferior to the T-34 with the F-32 or F-34 gun of the same caliber-76 mm. And the weight, the gearbox were not brilliant. It was not in vain that at the end of 1941 they switched to the KV-1C model, they began to install the F-34 gun on it, and from the end of 1942, the 85 mm on the KV-85 model. The IS-1 with an 85 mm gun appeared later, was released in a small series, and in 1943 the IS-2 with a 122 mm gun was launched. They began to enter the troops in 1944. But in the same 1944, T-34-85 began to enter the troops.

        L-10/11 was put on the T-34, and these machines were quite few.
        But for Pz.III, the CT-28 was quite enough. And Pz. IV with a short KwK 37 somehow did not complain about problems with the BT / T-26.

    The British did not accept it, but they exported it to us, Poles and other countries with pleasure

    the British simply sold licenses for vickers 6t, and produced tanks already on the ground, taking into account the specifics of countries. because t26 and 7tr only look a little similar

    What I drew attention to. In October 1937, TTT was issued to a tank with a frontal armor thickness of 25 mm. In March 1938 they demand increasing the thickness to 30, in September 1939 - to 45. Any engineer understands that we are talking about three different tanks. What kind of patience should Stalin have to look at these clowns in ABU? Two years (on the eve of the war) are determined by the thickness of the armor! And they say there were no pests.

    Dear Kharkov tank designer, associate of the Chief Designer of tanks A.A. Morozov, Yuri Apukhtin on the eve of the 75th anniversary of our Victory, to the best of his ability, highlighted the long-standing theme of the sole authorship of one of the most famous tools of the Victory T-34 medium tank, the project and the beginning of its serial production ....
    As "stewed" in the atmosphere of the Morozov design bureau, he probably knows something about the allegedly not very warm responses of Alexander Alexandrovich about Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin and about the chill in relation to his widow, who lived with the Morozovs in the same house, in next door ??! Or is it just OBS and vile gossip ??!
    And why would it, because as far as I know, Alexander Alexandrovich Morozov was fairly straightforward in expressing his sympathies and antipathies, as he had a developed sense of justice, despite the ranks and ranks of his counterparts ?!

    It is clear that the concept of the T-34 tank did not crystallize out at once and not out of the blue, so many of the mentioned personalities contributed. But do not underestimate the role of Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin - he also paid with his life for promoting the first prototypes of the future T-34!
    By the way, after all, the problems with the gearbox of the tanks of Kharkov designers were resolved only by the urgent creation (according to legend, personally by A.A. Morozov) and introduction "into the series", already in the Urals during the Great Patriotic War (in my opinion, only in 1943, I am too lazy three hours before getting to work to clarify who is interested, find and understand for yourself this most interesting epic with the improvement of the T-34-76 and T-34-85 designs in mass production), completely (of course, except for the first stage) synchronized five-speed gearbox ?!

    Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin, as far as I know, was a fairly talented "technician", a designer-mechanical engineer, and not only an organizer and leader (in the past, an experienced pastry chef, a "party thousand" and a participant in the suppression of the Kronstadt rebellion)!
    Design credo of Mikhail Ilyich Koshkin:
    "To work not in pursuit, but to overtake. In the design, use not an analogue, but a tendency. To create a tank that would be promising and would not require significant changes.".

    So he was able to think in design concepts, and with his whole life he showed that he is able to solve the most difficult tasks and take responsibility, as befits a Real Chief Designer!

    And the T-34, which won unfading military glory on the battlefields of the Great Patriotic War and World War II, and then in numerous wars and conflicts around the world up to the present day, is a huge merit of the entire design and technological team of Uralmash, where the head design bureau was based with the Chief Designer of the milestone Soviet tanks T-34-85, T-44, T-54, T-64 (the prototype of the T-74, which was also a revolutionary "happy four", started by exploratory design, was not allowed to finish, alas! Yuri Apukhtin, like no one else is aware of those events!) Alexander Alexandrovich Morozov!

    But, probably, I already ran ahead and the Dear Author will please us, my grateful readers, with an insider on this topic (although, in principle, Yuri Apukhtin wrote a book about this a long time ago and it was available on the Web, as well as edited diaries A .A. Morozova) ?!

      And, I forgot to say, as a topic for an interesting future article (and the dissertation too smile ) -I donate: To consider the causes of occurrence, existence and natural death, by the end of the 1930s, the concept of a wheeled-tracked tank precisely in function of the path resource of tank tracks, largely (like the construction of skyscrapers) due to successes in the creation of manganese steels! Yes
      Who in this matter gets inflated and gets a taste, that is, also the operational-tactical aspect of the "wheeled-tracked concept".
      The mutual influence of the development of armored vehicles and the development of the art of "leadership of tank troops" in different countries and theaters is also a very interesting and extensive topic.
      Be of good cheer! wink

    The repressions affected not only Firsov, who was soon shot, but many of the managers and engineers of the plant and design bureau. In 1937, a commission was sent to the plant from Moscow to find out the reasons for the low quality of the BD-2 engines, which revealed flaws in the design of the engine and non-compliance with its production technology.

    According to the results of the commission's work, the engine was finalized, making up to two thousand changes to it, but organizational conclusions were made. Chelpan was removed from work and in December 1937 was arrested along with the designers: diesel engineers Trashutin, Aptekman, Levitan and Gurtov, everyone except Trashutin was shot for "wrecking", the latter was released in 1939. The chief engineer of the Lyashch plant, the chief metallurgist Metantsev and many other engineers and military representatives are being arrested. In May 1938, the director of the Bondarenko plant was arrested and soon shot.

    According to Vasiliev, the repression caused a real phobia in KB-190.

    The wave of arrests that swept from November-December 1937 at the plant disorganized the work on the new tank, Dick was accused of disrupting the work, who was arrested in April 1938 and sentenced to ten years, this ended his career.

    From the bible. The Gospel of Luke (chap. 12, v. 48) says: “... And from everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom much has been entrusted, they will be more exacted from that. ”

    Thank you - informative article!
    The attitude of SV towards engineers is striking - such talents as Firsov destroyed .... request
    By the way, the biography has a lot in common with Polikarpov - except death ....
    "The names of Firsov and Koshkin as the chief designers of the T-34 can stand side by side with dignity."
    reasonable conclusion ....
    "Already at the end of 1935, on the chief designer's desk there were elaborated sketches of a fundamentally new tank: anti-cannon armor with large tilt angles, a long-barreled 76,2-mm gun, a V-2 diesel engine, weight up to 30 tons ..."
    means the beginning. Does MiTV Pavlov have nothing to do with it? Another legend? request

    1. We could not tolerate that the political commissar did what the "repression specialists" could not do, and now they found a document that some kind of "concept" about a tank that resembled something was on paper. And why was this "concept" of Firsov not implemented in metal? What prevented the repressed from Tukhachevsky to Firsov? Until 1937, they all decided what to produce, how much, when, and did everything as they wanted. But the weapons with which they won the war appeared in metal, for some reason, only when they were no longer beaten or they did not decide anything.
    2. I expect the appearance of a "document" that the concept of the T-34 was developed in tsarist Russia, and if the revolution did not beat the T-34 went into series in 1918.

      Read my post above. Koshkin was not a "commissar". He was a professional designer, talented enough to receive the Order of the Red Star for his work at a tank plant in Leningrad. And he had experience in leading work. In Koshkin, design and administrative abilities, party authority and good connections at the very "top" were successfully combined.

      And why was this "concept" of Firsov not implemented in metal?

      The concept of a tank with anti-cannon armor won the minds of tankers only after the war in Spain. Then they came face to face with the German infantry, armed with a 37-mm anti-tank "mallet". And it became clear that the bulletproof armor of Soviet tanks was no longer relevant. a penny cannon knocked out expensive tanks with a crew with one shot.
      Prior to this, the idea of ​​booking a tank from guns did not occur to the military. In fact, it was before this revolution in the minds of 1937-1938 that there was no Soviet tank school, concepts and designs from Europe were copied.

    Read my post above. Koshkin was not a "commissar". He was a professional designer, talented enough to receive the Order of the Red Star for his work at a tank plant in Leningrad.

    And who denies that Koshkin has become a professional designer. But before this he beat him with a commissioner. And the commissar, according to modern mitology, must beat a bad, incapable person. Here the repression is always smart and talented. That is why they found a paper that Koshkin had stolen the "concept" from the repressed Firsov.
    "Firsov laid down the primary technical appearance of the future T-34 and its main technical characteristics. Vasiliev recalled: Already at the end of 1935, the chief designer's desk had elaborated sketches of a fundamentally new tank: anti-cannon armor with large tilt angles, a long-barreled 76,2-mm cannon , diesel engine V-2, weight up to 30 tons ... "

    Already at the end of 1935, "elaborated sketches of a fundamentally new tank" were being hit. The genius Firsov will be the chief designer for another year, his superiors are also repression, led by the repression of the genius Tukhachevsky. But instead of this fundamentally new tank, only the BT-7 appears in the metal with such defects that it is called "sabotage".
    In addition, it is very interesting how they got the V-1935 diesel in 2 if it was used on a stand at the end of 1937, and was mass-produced since 1939? What kind of anti-shell armor hit for example a tank turret - 40, 60, 100 mm, and which hit a 76,2 mm long-barreled tank gun?

    Another "historian" is a fighter against a bloody scoop. How are you pulled up! Where did the firewood come from? And everything seems to be moderate and Koshkin made his contribution, but prolonged the shit. And about the cleansing of the bloody gebny and about the scum. Try it, wash it off! You bastards are sick of you already. Trash our history tirelessly.
