Tukhachevsky's ghost roams Russia

Tukhachevsky's ghost roams Russia

The ghost ... The ghost wanders across Russia. He looks into hangars, at the parking lots of equipment, at design bureaus and institutes and mutters something rather. Apparently, everything goes the way he likes.

A ghost in a budenovka, a long-length greatcoat, chrome boots, outwardly very reminiscent of the would-be People's Commissar Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky.



Why is that? Because in reality, a lot of coincidences take place today in terms of the development of the most "newest and" unmatched in the world "weapons. Too many, I would say.

Let's rewind the tape of time and fast forward to those very 30s of the last century. It would be very nice to see what was happening then and compare with what is happening today.

And since 1930, a construction orgy began in the Soviet Union. Built Tanks and planes. Tukhachevsky generally demanded to build 122 aircraft and 000 tanks. During the first five-year plan.


They say that Hitler cherished plans to conquer the world, having built as many as 1.09.1939 tanks by 2/977/100. What then was going on in the head of Tukhachevsky, who demanded 000 tanks from Stalin? At a time when Germany had none? And the country's army numbered ... 100 thousand people!

That is, for every German soldier a Soviet tank had to come out. Wow ambition, right?

As a result, the Red Army received many samples of excellent technology. From which 22.06.1941/XNUMX/XNUMX there was absolutely no benefit.


T-35. A ceremonial mastodon, not fit for anything but parades.

T-37 and T-38, amphibious tanks, which were used in 4 years of the war in one single operation. 2670 pieces of T-37, 1430 pieces of T-38.

BT-7, wheeled-tracked tanks, which were not used as wheeled ones. Due to the elementary lack of roads. 8 249 pieces of all modifications.

TB-1 and TB-3, the prototypes of strategic bombers, completely defenseless and useless. 212 TB-1 and 818 TB-3.

Dynamo-reactive guns of the Kurchev caliber from 76 mm to 500 mm, which were not shoved anywhere.

T-27, tankettes, which were unsuitable even for fighting the Basmachi gangs. 3 155 pieces.

And there are many other, no less interesting, iconic and completely useless durovs that swallowed up a lot of metal, money and man-hours.

But now I do not set my goal to once again disturb the spirit of Mikhail Tukhachevsky, because there is absolutely no need. The concern is that his followers are currently continuing to work - not entirely, however, it is clear, for the good of whom.

And since executions today are unrealistic, the followers of Tukhachevsky can calmly do their job. To create all these anti-tank guided torpedoes, universal guns, radio-controlled boats, cardboard tankettes - everything that was stamped in the USSR before the war.

Although you must admit, a decent truck, an armored personnel carrier, an artillery spotter and a radar station would be much more valuable.

The last one on the list was the T-27 tankette. And it happened for a reason. This caterpillar misunderstanding has already been written and even shown in paints.

Stories about weapons. Wedge t-xnumx.

It is impossible to add anything beyond what has been said, so ... So it remains only to answer the question: why, in fact, suddenly remembered?

And I remembered because last week at RIA “News"I saw another bravura urya-material. About our near future. About combat robot "Marker", which was shown last year and which will be completed next year and go into series.


And, naturally, it will defeat all our possible and impossible enemies. Because the "Marker" is a real robot, it does not need (almost) an operator, more precisely, the operator will only point to the target, and the robot will choose the path and everything else. Analyze the terrain, determine the most promising path, choose and apply the appropriate weapon.

In general, what a horror an intelligent robot ...

Already today "Marker" is able to "work" with small arms at ground and air targets, and in the future it will learn to operate with a grenade launcher.


What can I say, we are talking about the same Tukhachevsky wedges, only 100 years later. Only in variation drone and like with artificial intelligence. And the operator on the radio channel just in case.

It is worth recalling that the idea of ​​hordes of tankettes at one time suffered a crushing defeat. And not from the army. From the gangs, which not only did not have anti-tank weapons, they had nothing, except for rifles, machine guns and bottles of kerosene. And the Finnish war finally finished off the idea of ​​a wretched armored box with splinterproof armor. The idea of ​​a tracked machine gun has died.

And, after all, the newspapers of the thirties were probably noisy ... They're coming, going to replace the cavalry regiments of steel wedges and tanks, which ...


Which were incompetently burned out in the crucible of wars and conflicts, because there was no more wretched concept than a wedge, a wheeled-tracked tank and a floating tank.

And all the countries participating in World War II did without these freaks. Even we, although we have transferred thousands of tons of metal to their production.

And now - again?

Are we again following the ideas of Fuller and Tukhachevsky? Only they planned armada of one-two-seater armored cars, while we have “robots”.

Speaking of tankettes, it is worth saying that one of the reasons that buried the idea of ​​baby tanks was just their size. The wedges, precisely because of their small size, could not overcome ditches and embankments, and fragmentation armor made them a victim of even ordinary rifles with a reinforced bullet.

We abandoned the tankettes, the Italians abandoned them, after the tests during the Spanish Civil War. And the advanced countries did not even try to establish the production of horses for the modern knights, preferring normal tanks.

And now we have take two. Wedge heel robot. Which will go somewhere and shoot at someone. And, perhaps, it will even hit. If he gets there.

And it won't be easy for this wedge to get there, albeit with artificial intelligence. Because there are snipers with large-caliber rifles, there are mines, there are machine guns, there are shock drones, grenades and other things that can turn an intelligent robot into robotic scrap metal.




Do you see the difference? So I don't see. For "Marker".

Meanwhile, we are being told tales that it would be necessary to consider in the near future the introduction of another platoon into the motorized rifle company - from robots.

Not a word on where and how these "platoons" of robots will be used. In field? It's funny. For the above reasons. In the town? Even more interesting, I can already imagine dying on the streets in the rubble under the fire of shooters "robots", unable to even provide minimal resistance. Stuck in rubble and ruins.

In general, the armored utopia of Mikhail Nikolaevich Tukhachevsky in the flesh.


This is also a utopia. Drowned in stories, well at least the ship survived. Dynamo-reactive 305-mm Kurchevsky cannon on the destroyer. The charging time for this nonsense is an hour and a half. Through the muzzle.

There is something in common.

Although ... If at first robots go forward, which will be shot by the enemy, then, hiding behind corps, people can go forward. Under the guise of burning robots - why not?

And what about our not very advanced, according to Mr. Zadornov, "partners" -Americans?

And they also have a robot. Not tracked, wheeled. SMSS from Lockheed-Martin. It can carry up to 300 kg of cargo, personal belongings of infantrymen, ammunition to the front line, wounded from the front line, and so on. It can be controlled from the remote control, it can drive along the map from one point to another using the navigator. Or he can move with the fighter he is pointed at.


Such a completely peaceful beast. But very useful. The "marker" in such a role does not look perfect, because it simply does not know how to do things like transportation. He's like a fighter.

Meanwhile, SMSS is nothing new. They simply screwed their brains into the so-called "Jigger", an all-terrain vehicle that was very popular in the world in the 70s of the last century. There were some, controlled by levers and built even here.


Something like a tractor amphibious. Able to climb a slope, and move a trench, and cross the river.

A very useful thing: a robo-bullet from science fiction, carrying ammunition, a bulletproof vest, food ration, water and everything else on the same forced marches. In short, those same 25-30 kg. Almost the load of a legionnaire of Ancient Rome. But we still have not ancient centuries, but something modern.

And this begs the question: who has the robot come out more useful? Dragging along the rear of the gravity for the infantry, an American or a “fighter” of the Russian robo-army, who has every chance of being incapacitated in the first minutes of the battle?

Personally, it seems to me that the "donkey" is clearly more useful. And, probably, everyone who saiga in the mountains-fields will agree with me on the principle “I carry everything with me”.

And I can't really believe that this "Marker" will be so all, as we were told. We are not leaders in robotics or electronics. And after the "success" of our "robot" Fedenka on the ISS and even more so.

So others are making progress today, but who said that those same Americans have nothing to learn from? Attack drones, transport unmanned vehicles, sea and river - all these are the same weapons of war tomorrow, if we are not going to destroy the planet with nuclear warheads.

But what is happening today in our media space is no longer even surprising, but makes you seriously think about what is happening.

Not a month goes by without the people being informed that in a year or two we will adopt another "miracle weapon" that will make the whole world tremble with fear.

Elementary propaganda with a fair amount of hysteria. Shiver, the whole world, we'll show you what!

Why only is not entirely clear. But more and more reminiscent of the times of Tukhachevsky, when at parades everyone was shown something that was absolutely not useful in the war. And German tanks were greeted with the same grenades and bottles of gasoline.

But Tukhachevsky was a rabid and narrow-minded person. And what about those who today order our media about the next "wunderwaffe"? These people do not yet reach the ruler of Germany, who also promised that just about, and that's it, there will be a complete victory. But only a little bit.

Only this year our respective media managed to tell about what is in our warehouses, what will go into service next year, and what - in 10 years.

They talk especially actively about what will happen to us in 10 years. Because who will remember in 10 years what they promised ...

I'm sure this is all just a bluff. There won't be dozens of Poseidons, hundreds of Petrel, thousands of Markers. There will be stories that all of this WILL BE. Later. Over time.

But after such shows, people will be absolutely sure that the money from the country's budget goes where it should be. To strengthen the defense capability.

It is clear that our economy is not in the best condition after the "fight" against the coronavirus, and then we still have to spend billions on the fight against foreign foes. What if they attack? And we have a "miracle weapon", here it is!

True, despite the presence of all these "newest" and "not having ...", I will meet this very foe all the same T-72 and Su-27, and the soldiers on the BMP-2 with the AK-74. Well, we just do not have time to produce "wunder" in the required quantities.

Everything was like in history, isn't it?

The Russian defense industry every year, from festival to festival (even though it is now called a "forum"), becomes like a kind of fashion show. Fashion is often so ... high. That is, they looked, shook their heads, clicked their tongues - and that was all. Buying, sewing, and even more so wearing is not worth it. Dangerous for health.

And "suits", they are more and more so ... unrealistic-virtual. As with the "Petrel" pseudo-missile. The main thing is a video with a "beautiful picture", as they say now. Something started there with a noise and a crash, and that was all. Started, most likely billions, which were spent on the development of the flown away "miracle weapon".

But such a beautiful video. It explains well why our salaries do not grow, in contrast to prices. Because everyone is on the fight and so on.

Speaking about robots, let me give you statistics on robots. There is such an indicator as the number of industrial robots per 10 workers. For 000.

Singapore - 831. South Korea - 774. Germany - 338. USA - 217. China - 140.

The world average is 99.

The average in Europe is 114.

The average in Asia is 91.

And Russia? And in Russia this figure is 5. FIVE industrial robots per 10 thousand workers. Naturally, foreign production.

And how, do you believe in thousands of combat robots who will collect the hands of workers from among the citizens of the middle class with a salary of 17 rubles in dirty workshops?

Me not.

As well as it is hard to believe that all this "newest" equipment, which I saw at parades 10 years ago and I still see, will actually be in the troops. Where is "Armata"? Coalitions? Boomerangs? "Kurgan people"? Transport planes? Destroyers? Frigates? New (I'm not even talking about reusable) spacecraft? National Space Station? Booster rocket?

Continuous PR campaign and stories in the style "Visiting a fairy tale". And billions of billions flying away to nowhere.

At one time, Stalin sent Tukhachevsky with his designs 100 aircraft and tanks. And now the ghost of the marshal and the people's commissar is wandering around Russia and happily rubbing his hands. Everything is according to his canons.

But we won't even see hundreds of produced "wunder", unlike the times of Mikhail Nikolaevich. One "wunder" is enough, which will be shown in the video for "Star". And they will tell you when to expect him. And they will modestly keep silent about how many billions will be spent on it.

So don't expect a platoon of killer robots in every motorized rifle company. Likewise, motorized riflemen should not rely on such a robot horse as their American colleagues, which would begin to carry luggage.

But such a horse would be very useful.

        Yes, yes ... Especially considering that in the country there are 1..2 people who know how to design modern tanks, there are not enough engineers ... skills too, and tanks are needed "the day before yesterday". Since, even imperfect, constantly breaking MS-1s have proven their HUGE use on the battlefield, and what to do? And let's see what anyone abroad has. Germany is under sanctions, nothing new, but what is, the "tractor", small and large ... but terribly secret. In France - nothing but the next version of FT-17, but in England there are both "infantry" and "cruising", which means we must do as they do ... Another thing is that there was not enough wisdom, to look at the fate of these tanks at the Brit ...

              it's not about the T27 tankette specifically, but about the concept of building armored vehicles, carried out by Tukhachevsky. on the release of 100000 tanks unnecessary on the battlefield, not far from the wedge, pierced from a rifle, carrying light weapons, and this is only in the first year of the five-year plan. Obviously, Tukhachevsky was far from the economy and industry. How much steel, machine tools, specialists, money was needed for the construction of 100000 tanks per year? the industry could hardly provide such a number. and another 100000 tanks is at least 200000 tankers, and repairmen, reconnaissance, artillerymen, hospitals, servants, refuellers, this would be another 100 thousand, but where to get them? the whole red army then how much was? you say, without all this Tukhachevsky offered to release only tanks, then he is an enemy of the people, unambiguously, and deserved his bullet.
              and about Italians and Poles - in Italy 10 pieces were produced in almost 2000 years, in Poland during the same time - about 700 pieces

                It is worth considering the size of our country, the throughput of our railways and from where we were threatened at that moment.
                And this is the West, from Poland, North-West, from Finland, South-West, from Romania, South, from Turkey and Iran, East, from China and Japan. To repel threats, it would be necessary to have a certain stock of tanks in each of these directions, so that we can counteract as quickly as possible.

                Creative processing for the capabilities of the RSFSR using automotive units. Produced from 1931 to 1933. Well, where are your hundreds of thousands? Military thought, like political thought, is absolutely unpredictable. They riveted under it. Have you read about the Douai doctrine?

          Germany is under sanctions, nothing new, but what is, the "tractor", small and large

          Tankettes and light tanks with machine guns made up the bulk of the German armored forces on September 1, 1939, i.e. at the beginning of WWII.

          They also made up a significant part of the invasion troops of the USSR.

          Yes, they turned out to be outdated for this war. But, as we can see, Germany did not understand this at once.

          BT 7 is quite a decent tank for the beginning of the Second World War with a powerful 45 mm gun, formidable for all Wehrmacht tanks.

          T 35 is a dead-end branch, but to understand this, it was necessary to do it.

          In general, any new technique is produced at first in units and tested.

          And the mentioned mass T72 and AK 74 were at first in single copies.

          Mentioning "Petrel" and "Poseidon", the article does not write about "Dagger", which is on the same list with them. And he is already on alert.

          British tanks ... many different models, okay! But some of the British obscenities even helped us in the fall and winter of 1941 to defend Moscow. Yes, and our tankers, criticizing them, admitted in some way their strong sides, by the way. Like this. And dynamo-reactive guns fought well in the American and British armies. This use was not bad, and here Tukhachevsky was wrongly scolded - if we had thousands of such guns in the summer of 1941 - and perhaps only a few German tanks would have reached Moscow, if at all ... So it's not so simple and unambiguous.

    BT-7, wheeled-tracked tanks, which were not used as wheeled ones. Due to the elementary lack of roads.

    This is a fiasco ... Even Wikipedia knows ...
    The insufficient resource of the caterpillar propeller, which manifested itself at military exercises in the early 1930s (breakdowns of tracks and track pins during prolonged off-road movement), as well as its destructive effect on the roadway, aroused great interest in the leadership of the UMM RKKA in wheel-tracked tanks. These vehicles, on the march along well-equipped public roads, had to move on wheels, and in off-road conditions and in battle - on tracks. Thus, both the resource of the tracked mover and the roadbed were saved.

      After reading Glushko's memoirs "Tanks came to life again", there is such a moment
      “About noon we drove up to a fork in the road and here we met a Soviet tank without tracks, on a wheeled drive. I looked at the number and couldn't believe my eyes - the tank was from our battalion!
      The meeting with fellow soldiers was joyful. I knew the 2nd rank military technician D.N.Semkin, the deputy chief technical officer of the 2nd company of our 4th tank battalion. A good comrade, a highly qualified specialist and, most importantly, a never-discouraged, cheerful and sympathetic person, Semkin disposed people to himself. They shared their joys and failures with him, they could always count on his help. And now, before we had time to open our arms, he already asked:
      - How can I help?
      - Tell us what you know about the battalion? - first of all I asked.
      - Battalion? - he asked, - The battalion is you and me. Is it not enough? Now, my dear, everyone must fight for a battalion.
      - I see how you are at war. I even took off the caterpillars in order to skiddle faster on the wheels, - I laughed.
      - Look, I'm going without a sloth, - said Semkin and clarified: - Repulsed by a shell. This is the last tank, he continued, which I am evacuating from the Elisenvara area. Four are already fifteen kilometers from here, on the way to Ladoga. Our battalion commander went there at night. "

        ... Andrei looked at the great tanker and saw in his gray transparent eyes the same horror and painful bewilderment that he himself felt. The tank driver, blinking often, looked at the brilliant strategist and did not understand anything. He is used to thinking in terms of movement in the space of huge machine and human masses, he, in his naivety and innocence, is accustomed to counting that everything and forever will be decided by his armored armadas, confidently pushing through foreign lands, and multi-engine, filled with bombs and parachutists, flying fortresses, floating in the clouds above foreign lands, he did everything possible so that this clear dream could be realized at any necessary moment ... Of course, he allowed himself sometimes certain doubts that a brilliant strategist is so genius and will be able to unambiguously define this necessary the moment and the necessary directions of armored strikes, and yet he did not understand in any way (and did not have time to understand) how it was possible to sacrifice exactly him, such a talented, so tireless and unique, how it was possible to sacrifice all that that was created by such labors and efforts ...

          The main problem of our defense industry is the severe underfunding of a large number of enterprises and companies. The industry's debt on loans is amazing - 2 trillion rubles. Almost all the profits of the defense industry enterprises, amounting to about 135 billion rubles, go to pay interest on debt to banks. But the body of the debt is not repaid!
          How did it happen?
          But it turned out exactly the same as everything we do, taking into account the anti-state activities of Nabiullina and the official employee of the IMF Siluanov.

          In 2012, someone hefty "smart" proposed to partially finance the State Armament Program for the period from 2012 to 2020 at the expense of state-guaranteed commercial loans. This meant that the defense industry complex could take loans from banks from the money allocated to banks for these purposes from the budget. On the one hand, this is a kind of state control over the activities of the military-industrial complex - they say, so that they do not aim at unrestrained spending, otherwise, no matter how much you give, they will spend as much, and there will be zero production. Like, everything went to OCD, we are not to blame. And on the other hand, if it is nevertheless reasonable to overstate, the bank can lend it, if the state has no money at the moment, and it will then guarantee to repay the debt for the defense industry complex to bankers. Is it reasonable? Seems Yes. Two lines of receipt of money in the defense industry - budget (here's how much we can) and bank ...
          People in the know already then, in 2012, said that the budget would give much less than needed, and would quietly throw off a considerable part of the defense industry's financing on banks.
          Why did you decide?
          And according to the same principle of urgency of credit slavery. Apartment? Take a loan, get into it here and now! What to save and wait for when you accumulate to buy ... A car? Yes please! Take a loan and get into the car as yours right here and now. Armada "Armat" and SU-37? For God's sake! Take the loot in the bank and produce it for health. Only pay the interest on the loan body on time and quietly added: otherwise we will take away the enterprises. Mortgage lending, you know - we, bankers, do not believe in the state and its guarantees ...
          And so they did, "clever men". And then it turned out that the defense industry had enough money to pay "percentiles", but no longer to increase production volumes. And therefore no armada for you!
          Sickeningly disgusting. It is called, urgently launched rearmament.
          And at the same time, bankers have the audacity to lend to the defense industry complex under
          8–10%, while the profitability of most defense enterprises is 4–5% at best, and often zero, not 20%, as required by the state defense order. So all the profits of the defense industry are spent on the reproduction of what is, and the payment of interest, and not on the armada of weapons. With such a negligible profit, the development and even more so the expansion of the output of the high-tech industry is impossible. So it is necessary to re-equip technologically? Does it mean innovation and innovation? Yes! But where to get funds for the purchase of new equipment, construction of new and modern industrial sites, training and retraining of personnel - where? The defense industry complex is already credited for the most I can not! Where not now throw, everywhere a wedge. And now, the low profitability of the military-industrial complex dooms it to stagnation and lagging behind competitors. And this is the price of the previous wrong decision.

            According to my more than 40 years of experience in the field of creating military electronics, one of the main reasons for our deplorable state is the low level of funding for development: some gentlemen think that with an average salary of 30-50 thousand rubles. you can have highly qualified development specialists. But miracles, alas. can not be. We have to simultaneously conduct several parallel developments with an obvious lack of people. One gets the feeling that one often has to work out of a sense of patriotism. I'm not even talking about all sorts of legislative complexities such as the notorious law on public procurement and so on. (who knows, will agree). And then there was the prosecutor's office against our brother for missed deadlines, although, as you know, not a single development was created on time, at least over the past half century. I would also like to add that the complexity of the technology being created is increasing more and more, which requires very high qualifications of performers.

              Mr. Wanderer, the Germans had cavalry at the head of the tank divisions.
              So our tank units were often created on the basis of disbanded cavalry units.
              You probably won't believe it, but the number of Red Army Cavs before the war was decreasing from year to year.
              Probably this bourgeois command created the KMG that reached Germany.
              By chance you do not know what the artillery of the infantry divisions of the bourgeois moved on, you know that during WW2 the number of Wehrmacht cavalry divisions grew. Such are the facts about cavalry during WW2.

                On Wikipedia, enter the USSR Cavalry Division. There is also other information, including the Wehrmacht cavalry. You can find it if you really want to understand.
                And according to the data that other authors have collected on Wikipedia (if you are sure that they are lying and you have proof, you can edit the pages), on the essence of the question of using horses in war:
                1. horses were used as a transport for household needs, for the transportation of artillery, both for us and for the Germans. We have it because of the lack of cars, and the Germans because of the lack of fuel. The Germans also used horses as transport for people.
                2. Combat cavalry divisions in our country before the war were about 100, by the end of 41g about 80. The Wehrmacht has 4 divisions (1 of the Cossacks or pretending to be them, although according to other sources about 50 thousand Cossack families retreated with the Germans.)
                By the way, Zhukov was originally a cavalryman, but someone is studying, and someone is stuck in the past.
                “Assessing the actions of Soviet tankers in the battles on Khalkhin Gol, G.K. Zhukov in May 1940 at a reception with I. V. Stalin on the occasion of his appointment as commander of the Kiev Special Military District and conferring the military rank of General of the Army emphasized:“ Tank brigades fought very well, especially the 11th brigade, headed by the brigade commander Hero of the Soviet Union M.P. Yakovlev.But the BT-5 and BT-7 tanks are too flammable.If it were not for two tank and three motorized armored brigades, we certainly could not have surrounded and defeated the 6th Japanese army so quickly ”[17].

                  This is some kind of very alternative USSR. In real life, on June 22.06.1941, 13, there were 01.01.1937 cavalry divisions in the Red Army (for comparison, on 32/XNUMX/XNUMX there were XNUMX cavalry divisions in the Red Army).
                  And cavalry pre-war divisions of 1941 could hardly be called. Rather, it was mechanized infantry for the poor - Motohorse divisions, in which, in particular, there was a tank regiment - 64 BT.

                  These 80 "divisions" appeared because of the traditional game of the Red Army in terms. In fact, the "cavalry division" arr. 1941 was a cavalry brigade of 3000 people. Let me remind you that the pre-war cavalry division numbered 9000 people. l / s.
                  And these cavalry divisions appeared as an attempt to give the front at least some mobile units. There were not enough trucks even for tankers for motorized infantry, so they had to find alternative ways to increase mobility.

                  Yes, be afraid of God, what about 100 Cav divisions before the war?
                  Excuse me, Wikipedia, this is of course great, but only according to the proposal of the People's Commissariat of Defense on November 21, 1939, approved by the government, it provided for the presence of 5 cavalry corps consisting of 24 cavalry divisions, 2 separate cavalry brigades and 6 spare cavalry regiments. Of the 1938 departments of the cavalry corps and 7 cavalry divisions that were available in 32, 4 cavalry corps and 13 cavalry divisions remained by the beginning of the war.
                  If you are interested, find at least for example the Combat strength of the Soviet Army M Military Publishing House, 1966. Now, according to the Germans, the 1st cavalry division ss, the 3rd and 4th cavalry divisions, the 8th cavalry division ss (Florian Geyer), the 22nd cavalry division ss (Maria Theresa) and believe me the Cossacks were not there. These are purely German formations.
                  Wikipedia is, forgive me, not an argument, you still have to look for so many nonsense.

If the influence of new data is so strong that it decisively cancels all accepted assumptions, then others should take the place of the latter, but for this there is usually not enough data, since in the stream of activity events overtake the decision and do not give time not only to maturely think over the new position, but even take a good look around. However, much more often the correction of our ideas about the situation and familiarization with the encountered accident are not enough to completely overturn our intentions, but they can still shake them. Our familiarity with the situation is growing, but our uncertainty is not diminishing, but on the contrary - it is increasing. The reason for this is that the necessary information is not obtained immediately, but gradually. Our solutions are constantly being pushed by new data, and our spirit must remain fully armed at all times.

    In vain, Roman tied his criticism of modernity to the image of Tukhachevsky, who, like any person, had his mistakes, but in general he did a lot to strengthen the armed forces of the USSR. The fact that there will always be fools and traitors who will distort everything is not his fault, especially since there is no fault at all for the pogrom in June 1941. Yes, tanks were becoming the main striking force, Heinz Guderian noted this in his book "Tanks Forward!", Thanks to tank fists the Germans achieved the surrender of France and reached the Volga with us. Had Hitler had as many tanks as in the USSR, the Barbarosa plan was probably successfully implemented.

    Our trouble by 1941 was that Tukhachevsky had already been shot, had he stayed alive, and in his position, the Red Army, most likely, would have "washed boots", if not in the English Channel, then in the Rhine. Namely, at the exercises in the 30s of the Red Army, the actions of our BT made a strong impression on foreign observers. Nobody needed the Christie's tank before, not only us, but also the British, who began to produce "cruiser" tanks.

    Also, about thousands of tanks in storage. There were already clever guys from "defective managers" who wanted to destroy all stocks of Soviet tanks (T-64, T-72, T-80) and make 2-4 thousand "Armats" (on a still crude, expensive and complex base) , this is with piece production, in fact, with one remaining tank building center in Nizhny Tagil. So, such thrifty "well-wishers" would be shot. They were hampered not only by the stocks of tanks, but also by the same AKs, of which there are supposedly too many in storage. Apparently, they do not need a mobilization reserve, apparently, if there is a war, they will have all the factories and workers in abundance ... As for the tanks for parades, mastodons, the heavy BMP T-15 is commensurate in size with the five-turret T-35. Who has such an oversized BMP and what is really needed for it is a big question, as well as how correct it was to ruin a supertank with a 152 mm cannon, and instead of a reinforcement tank, come up with an expensive and complex headset platform. Here, there is no need for enemies, their monopolists and fools will destroy the army in such capitalism.

      In general, Tukhachevsky was shot, as it were. And after that I had to fix a lot of things feverishly.

Having stumbled upon a defense center, the Germans retreated, called in aviation, then, together with the usual infantry, tried again. It didn't work out - they pulled up the artillery, repeated the attack, etc. But the main focus was that those who stumbled upon the knot and those who carried out repeated attacks are completely different troops. The first - bypassed the defense center, intercepted roads, destroyed the rear. As a result, the defenders only have what was in the divisional or regimental warehouse. They will be over in a week at the most. And they will become unarmed encircles in the deep German rear. And with such an organization, it was not possible to stop the enemy, regardless of the steepness of the available equipment (yes, even the IS-2 would not help). The Germans themselves stopped trying to take Moscow. And at 44, we already staged a blitzkrieg (10 Stalinist strikes) and the Germans also could not stop it. Yes, without tanks of the Pz-III type, blitzkrieg will not work, the same BT-7 has a motor resource of only about 150 hours - not enough for deep coverage.

      Our trouble by 1941 was that Tukhachevsky had already been shot, had he stayed alive, and in his position, the Red Army, most likely, would have "washed boots" if not in the English Channel, then in the Rhine.

      The maximum is in the Vistula. Painfully waiting until the so-called. the "rear" will bring up fuel and ammunition and while the scanty repair capacities will repair the failed equipment.
      For tank horde in Tukhachevsky's view, these are brigades of the 30s. No infantry, virtually no artillery, and rudimentary rear lines. The main thing for the marshal was military equipment. And he paid little attention to the rear and repairs.
      You can still remember how Tukhachevsky wanted to create a rifle division, super-saturated with weapons, reducing its number to 7 thousand people. In fact, only riflemen and crews / vehicle crews would remain in the division.
      What a division of 7 thousand people. It is either a division without artillery, or it is a division with artillery without cover. In general, this is not a division, this is a disgrace. How can there be such a division. I asked Tukhachevsky how you, a person who calls himself an expert in this matter, how can you insist that the size of the division be increased to 7 thousand people and at the same time demand that we have a division of 60 ... 40 howitzers and 20 cannons so that we had so many tanks, such and such artillery, and so many mortars. Here one of two things, either you have to take all this technique to hell and put some shooters on, or you have to put this technique on. He says to me: "Comrade Stalin, this is a hobby." This is not a hobby, this is sabotage carried out by the orders of the German Reichswehr

        Alexey, the one who does nothing is not mistaken. Without Tukhachevsky, who prevented the victory in June 1941? You can pull on any marshal and general of negative, mistakes. Yes, Tukhachevsky had his own theories then, and, for example, Giulio Douet, an Italian military theorist, who believed that a war could be won with one aircraft.

        In my opinion, under Tukhachevsky the Red Army was one of the strongest, with I-16, TB-3, with maneuverable BT. There were dead-end and adventurous projects, but where without them in any business, especially when instead of the usual there was an era of "war of motors", where much had to be created anew, both in theory and in practice.

          The infantry goes on the attack "in crowds from squads", and without the interaction of fire and movement:
          squads, platoons and companies went on the attack, ignoring the fire of the defense, they did not prepare their attack with machine-gun fire, did not practice lying and dashing, self-entrenching, did not throw grenades

          Artillerymen do not know how to interact with infantry and tanks.

          T-26s from the 15th and 17th mechanized brigades of the KVO repeatedly struck "at an empty place". BT-5 and BT-7 from the 5th and 21st mechanized brigades of the BVO could not detect the ambushes.

      many robots are needed in assembly plants


      In modern war, assembly robots and other robots will replace specialists leaving for the front, as it was in WWI and WWII, only there women and children replaced workers. Therefore, it is important to have not only many assembly robots but a powerful robotics industry.
      Robots are now and are rapidly improving, for example, commercial companies are improving autopilot programs for driving any equipment - they already drive equipment, on average, better than any experienced driver (with the exception of specific excesses), while they do not get tired, have increased throughput on the road only with drones; they are also miniaturized and simplified. In general, the issue of introducing any mobile and independent ground robots is, in fact, a matter of developing autopilots for them, there are good articles on the topic: "The first accident of an unmanned vehicle" https://habr.com/ru/post/125892/ and "How unmanned vehicle "Google" works "https://habr.com/ru/post/143478/" Google has developed a digital simulator in the style of the "Matrix" "https://habr.com/ru/post/234361/" Unmanned vehicles Google demonstrate a racing style of driving "https://habr.com/ru/post/114916/
      Robotization will allow, in fact, to reach a new level of conflict tension - for example, to produce and consume small, simple military robots, large, by modern standards, and constantly being improved technically, in series, for example, with a consumption of 1,5-3 million pieces per week - Naturally, with an army consisting only of people, such losses are simply unacceptable, and replenishment is impossible - people need to be "made" for decades and not in a matter of hours at a specialized plant, so the involvement of people in military operations will gradually become possible only as operators of robotic systems ... There is no need to panic - you need to think about the fact that the situation has changed under the influence of progress.

      Bez 310, reading the news, I really catch myself thinking: how much is planned! And this and this, and the fifth and tenth. And as soon as you will be delighted, pride will fill you, they say, we are growing, as it turns out that all this was planned much earlier, just the dates have been shifted to the future, and his bright image is molded from what the image of a bright future was molded from a dozen years ago , but somehow it accidentally degenerated into our dull present.
      You say: SU-57.
      What do we have?
      Remember, here at VO, last year we discussed this project? The first production aircraft was expected to enter the army by November, but it did not arrive by the end of the year. And this despite the assurances of Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko. Apparently, unpleasant incidents with this aircraft further and further shift the output to the delivery schedule for production aircraft. One is and is being tested so far with the old engine, but serial production of the SU-57 will begin only if the second fighter enters the Aerospace Forces in 2020. Wait, they tell us. Under the contract until 2028, the Aerospace Forces are to receive 76 such aircraft. Where to go - we are waiting. But this is how it is every year! So doubts arise.
      And so far, my favorite project, the Su-57, has tangible PR features. But as the first machine of the 5th generation, the aircraft was supposed to become a control center, support for the Su-35S fighter, which in turn was supposed to become the main fighter of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
      But it doesn't work out here either!
      The production rate of the Su-35S is low and is unlikely to reach the previously planned 120 units. In addition, the Su-35S is a modernization of the Su-27, the project of which was developed in the 60-70s of the last century. It would seem that there was time for debugging. But no.
      And now, instead of the Su-35S, another daughter of the Su-27, namely the Su-30, was chosen as a cheaper version of the PAK FA project. But the trouble is - the Indians, who have bought more than 200 of these machines, claim that the engines are not good for hell. And there are no others.
      Modernization of production is needed, which means money. But for two years now, a proud triumphant noise has been heard: we are cutting costs for the army!

When, being already in reserve, after the appointment of Shoigu as Minister of Defense, for the sake of interest, he decided to talk with the guys from the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations about the loss of such a Person, I was surprised to learn that they were not just happy, but happy that he, at one time , (in my opinion to the Moscow region) transferred from the Ministry of Emergencies. That's when I learned, from their words, that Shoigu is a continuous PR campaign. Outwardly, everything is beautiful, well-groomed and looks, but he, how to put it to people ... In general, he is indifferent to the life of his subordinates. He does not value people and will do anything for the sake of his own PR. These are the words of the EMERCOM officers. Well, then a new uniform appeared, Bestuzhevsky courses, tank biathlon, Patriot Park, the main temple and much, much more.

To see that a tank is cool, and not somewhere in the movies, but you yourself can go to the military registration and enlistment office and enroll in a tank school, it is not so easy.

    The same can be said about all aircraft or armored vehicles of the early 30s, if we consider it at the beginning of WWII or WWII. Regardless of the personality of the initiator of its creation.
    TB-3s all 30s played the role of a fleet in being: standing on airfields, they served as a convincing argument against a big war with the USSR in the Far East. Because as a picture "reflection of the raid of the TB-3 regiment by Ki-27 fighters"was too sad for the Japanese side.
    BT-7, wheeled-tracked tanks, which were not used as wheeled ones. Due to the elementary lack of roads. 8 249 pieces of all modifications.

    The reason was different: due to the increase in the mass of the tank, it lost its ability to be wheeled due to the destruction of rubber tires. But his ancestor BT-5 could be wheeled, which was confirmed in Mongolia:
    11th brigade on 28.5.39 at 4.00 was raised by alarm (from 1.00 to 4.00), made a march of 650 km. (Undur-Khan - Tamtsak-Bulak) in 3 days (arrived at 16.00 on 31.5.39).
    The movement was carried out on wheels (BT-5) along unpaved steppe roads. I had to switch to caterpillars 3 times near the river, Kerulen near Undur-Khan (salt marsh, swamp 24 km), Adjar-Galanta-Khid (salt marsh, swamp 5 km), beyond Matat-Somon (salt marsh, swamp 12 km), only on caterpillars - 41 km.

    The author probably lived at the age of 30, but judging by other data, Tukhachevsky already in 1931 proposed the actions of mechanized formations, "the possibility, through the massive introduction of tanks, to change the methods of combat and operations ... the ability to create sudden conditions for the development of the operation for the enemy through these innovations."
    "Back in November 1932 he achieved the beginning of work on the design of liquid-fuel rocket engines, and in September 1933 he achieved the creation of the Jet Research Institute, which was engaged in the development of rocket weapons in the USSR."
    Without tankettes and light BT tanks, there would be no T-34 or T-90.
    G. Zhukov “In the post of the first deputy people's commissar of defense, Mikhail Nikolaevich Tukhachevsky did a lot of organizational, creative and scientific work, and we all felt that he was playing the main, leading role in the People's Commissariat of Defense. An intelligent, well-educated professional soldier, he had an excellent understanding of both tactics and strategic issues. MN Tukhachevsky ... knew how to creatively approach any problem ... "[62]
    Marshal Zhukov told the writer Simonov [37]:
    “It must be said that Voroshilov, the then People's Commissar, in this role was a man of little competence. He remained an amateur in military matters to the end and never knew them deeply and seriously ... And practically a significant part of the work in the People's Commissariat lay at that time on Tukhachevsky, who was really a military specialist.
    The trial in the Tukhachevsky case marked the beginning of mass repressions in the Red Army in 1937-1938.

    Roman, well, don't. The problem with light tanks was not their lightness. The Germans fought on T-2, 3, on Czech T-35 and T-38, which were not much heavier than BTshek and T-26. The problem was the organization of the mechanized units, not which particular tanks were filling them. So here is a reference to Tukhachevsky's experience completely past the box office.
    Robots are a means of fire reinforcement for motorized riflemen, no one plans to rivet tank divisions from them.
    Why there were rivers of snot about dynamo-reactive guns did not understand at all. Do you plan to equip robots with these weapons? Not? Then what was it for? Just Schaub Bulo?
    The specific role of robotics in warfare can be debated. But THIS is not a discussion, but throwing feces on the fan.
    As for faith, everyone is free to believe anything. But you should not impose your faith with streams of saliva with snot and bulging eyes like in a toilet. Many did not believe in our hypersound either. Got a ruptured rectum. Finally, Roma, who are you? Robot specialist? A wonderful strategist and tactician? Marshal? Maybe a gray-haired veteran who has a hundred other battles behind him? Not. An ordinary journalist. Whose competence in the question is not even 0, but a negative value.

      The Czechs were already the next generation of LT - 9-10 tons.
      The T-26 is a six-ton ​​truck. And this was his main problem - the reserve for modernization had already been selected by 1937-1938. The late T-26s were equal in weight to the "Czechs", but at the same time they were overloaded (the suspension and chassis worked at the limit, and the engine, even after forcing, was frankly weak), while the chassis of the "Czech" made it possible to calmly increase the mass to 11-12 tons.
      Simple comparison: on the chassis of the "Czech" it was possible to create an SPG with a 15-cm infantry gun. The T-26 chassis, even after being reworked and reinforced, could not withstand the 152-mm mortar (SU-5-3).
      No wonder the Czech LT was considered by the GABTU in the second half of the 30s as one of the options for replacing the T-26.

    The question is always the use of technology.
    For example, you will need to conduct reconnaissance in force to open up the enemy defense. And what to send? Armata? Quadric infantry?
    Yes, robots will destroy. But on the other hand, the enemy's positions will be revealed, which is important. This technique is also needed.

    The author is not aware that the concept of using the BT-7 implied the conduct of hostilities "with little blood on foreign territory"? ALIEN! That is, in Europe, where there were a lot of roads with good coverage. And where is the lack of logic here?

      Where can you get acquainted with this concept? Well, except in the writings of Rezun?

      The concept of using BT implied saving the resource of the tracks by switching to a wheel drive on the march. The problem with the resource of the tracks was generally resolved only in the mid-30s (however, even in the early 40s, there were complaints from parts about the resource of the T-34 tracks).
      And the hard coating for the BT wheel travel was undesirable - the notorious rubber tire bands on hard-surface roads were prone to destruction. The dirt road was ideal for wheel travel.

      As for the concept, do not confuse the concept and propaganda. In the USSR of the 30s, propaganda and military planning practically did not coincide:
      It should be noted that the propaganda speeches of political and military leaders contained somewhat different tasks than the military plans developed under their leadership. So, in 1936, K. Ye. Voroshilov proclaimed the slogan that the Red Army would wage war "with little blood and on foreign territory." But this statement did not prevent the approval of the next year’s plan of evacuation from areas that may be occupied by the enemy, and the next norms of losses for the year of the war, which had very little in common with the mentioned slogan. Therefore, when analyzing preparations for war, it is very important to separate political propaganda from the real direction of military planning.

    The material is empty. It is NOW known which of the models of equipment and weapons turned out to be unusable (unsuccessful). THEN it was far from obvious. And the author dragged Tukhachevsky in vain. He wanted 100 thousand tanks. Did you get it? Who would give them to him! Even if the country had a production and technical base for these 100 thousand tanks, Tukhachevsky would not have received what he wanted, since people sat next to him and above him. And without the T-27, BT and others, the T-34 would not exist. Out of nowhere, masterpieces do not appear. The part about robots is generally enchanting. The author, apparently, has never seen an INDUSTRIAL robot and has no idea how it differs from the military. The name is the same, but the essence is completely different. The author does not like modern developments. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, not always successful. Cuts and waste? Surely there is, however, as in the 30s. But there is nowhere to go, the costs that will seem unjustified tomorrow, had to go and will have to. And it always has been. And it always will. Once I came across an excellent phrase (I don't remember the author): "The cost of a masterpiece includes the cost of everything incompetent, created before it ...".

    Here the author considers a robot gun useful for the infantry, but after all, a foot gun will pass where not all equipment will crawl, and again, if equipment crawls, then, in addition to the luggage, people will inappropriately go on it, because there are not many on foot either, in short, in addition to the luggage for this robot, the infantry will climb. And then there is no point in this robo. As in our robotic fighter, too, here I agree with the author. In my opinion, something autonomously digging trenches and a platform for remotely autonomous fire (like in the movie Jackal with Willis) and adapted for different weapons is more useful for the infantry. Reconnaissance pilots and something capable of finding an enemy beyond 3500m and throwing a grenade on their head and preferably flushing back are also more useful than these robotic platforms.

    Every problem has a last name. The dead should not be disturbed. Let's talk about today's government customer. In my opinion, they have now put the right person. Borisov Yu. I. Are there any specific claims to him? Let us turn to the rich domestic experience of preparation and conduct of interstate wars. For example, consider the period 1960-1978. Claims that the USSR could destroy the United States and NATO three or five times in a row now look like nonsense. But this nonsense turned into economic poverty for the peoples of the USSR and a waste of labor of millions of workers and peasants. Destruction once is enough for NATO. As it turned out in the process of negotiations between the leaders of the DPRK and the United States, one hundredth of a percent of the unacceptable risk is enough for the aggressor. Therefore, we do R&D and start mass production in doses. It is desirable to sell more abroad. To beat on the hands, amateurs at public expense to produce any armor crap should be uncompromising. Fans of "wheeled tanks" and other "markers" have hesitated lately. I wish the author of the article every success.

    guys, don't scold the author.
    just from his side there is a one-sided perception of history. development of technical thought. and to understand its fallacy, let us consider the question that torments those who look at history at least a little through the prism of technical development.
    to come up with a technical object is not difficult, so what? what is so much? difficult however.
    Simply put, we decide to copy a toy, a transformer in our time. everyone knows such a toy. looked turned over, postponed. and we also have a 3D scanner, a 3D printer with 2 nozzles, 3 CNC machines. 3D editors. it turned out that we also have a brain.
    the brain looked at our torment and said - okay, make me a bus length 500 mm width 180 mm height 150 mm, yes, with the opening of cargo spaces, doors and the rear engine hood.
    and so on to the attack. they stopped at the 7th option, smoothly on the drawings, but the product is not. even crack, what is terrible to show. spat the brain and says at least do it tiddly ...
    but by the 10th option, we finished off everything except opening the packages.
    ink, orchestra.
    and then a voice - and paint?
    here without haste, grinding, priming, painting. polishing.
    sat down and considered shedding tears, 7800 rubles with all costs.
    yes for this money ...
    the point is that there was nothing to do in our country.
    and the worst is no one.
    and the country is large, the border is long.
    t-26 two-tower is what all the military are now trying to achieve with a scattered fire stream. that is, in other words, we clean the trenches. ran into her and machine guns to the right and left.
    cleanliness is the guarantee of health.
    T-26 45 mm tank was ideal for its time. in Spain he burned everything that was. until the anti-tank artillery pulled up. and the tank ended like. but no. until 1944 he fought near Leningrad, albeit with additional armor.
    bt -2, -5, -7 excellent strike and blitzkrieg tanks. in 45 against the Japanese they showed themselves perfectly. reached the Sea of ​​Japan. the trouble is, like the T-26 has weak armor.
    and if the bt increased its armor was due to problems with the chassis, the t-26 had no problems with changing its armor, but the desire to get candy from what was. didn't work out.
    but could,
    t-28 tank of our Victory. the kt-28 was changed to the f-34, the firepower of the t-34, the armor allowed to increase the mass to 32-33 tons. not even simple shielding has been done since 1938. in Finnish, about 60 pieces twitched and that was all. and the release was about 600. By 1940, the tank was one head superior to the T-34. read about its development
    Tank T-28: a different look. http://alternathistory.com/tank-t-28-inoi-vzglyad/
    and so I had a conversation with the grandson of one of the designers of the Kirov plant. he confirmed the presence of almost all the proposed modifications except the BMP. but because of the powerful lobby of Kharkov, everything was buried and the KV began to fine-tune it.
    t - 35 oooo song. we tear off the trench and drive it along it to break through it is not possible, nevertheless, 53 cannons and a bunch of machine guns ...
    there is one question and who is in command, that's the answer. using the tanks correctly without pushing them to the border with 0,25 refueling, and hitting the Germans with a full set would have a different picture.
    just shouting about the t-27 in vain is not necessary as she drove the Basmachi.
    and most importantly, without this technique, there would be no Victory.
    and robots that they will develop the main thing to set the task. RIGHT.
    Well, the bus was not bad either. licked it all the same. the team decided to put it up for 12 rubles. the price is prohibitive, that is, prohibitive. yes there is light, there is the sound of a motor, but still .....

      The concept turned out to be unviable: without the accompaniment of its infantry, a tank that reached the trench was set on fire by enemy infantry. And the escort infantry was cut off by enemy infantry fire, which was extremely difficult to suppress with machine-gun fire without "getting into the trench". Plus the problem of enemy anti-tank weapons, which were extremely difficult to suppress with machine gun fire. Plus field fortifications (the same suddenly revived machine-gun bunkers, which had to be crushed very quickly - artillery is not an assistant here).

        and so I am glad for your answer. suspension limit of that English 6 tons. our 9 tons, this is great suspension without modification, there were options with a reinforced suspension and a mass of up to 12 tons, as we have experimental and the Poles have serial ones. unfortunately you do not see the similarity of the T-26 with the fate of another German T-3 tank. and so that prevented from changing the suspension. just changing the chassis was not held in high esteem by the designers. and changing the shape of the T-28's frontal armor, even by overlaying 20 mm, played a positive role, but again not the desire to get involved with the chassis.
        But with the BT series, everything was much easier, according to the stories, having removed the wheel drives there was a real opportunity to increase the side armor and frontal. By the way, such a tank was in the Red Army in 42. before the loss of Kharkov, the drives and all this wheel crap were removed in recent days. according to the story of the driver's son of this tank, the forehead was reinforced with a 30 mm sheet of armor, Dad said he was tormented getting out of the tank. the tank was shot down at Stalingrad. more precisely blown up after the explosion of the bridge.
        we will not talk about the average technical speed at all, this is complete nonsense.
        with the support of infantry, tanks were attacked by both ours and the Germans at a speed of 5-8 km / h. fools ran into a grenade, neither we nor them. but the fact that the speed of the kv and t-34 did not match the speed of the infantry is a question ...
        if we went for a breakthrough, then above the technological speed, neither we, the Germans, could not accelerate.

        about the recognition of the T-26 as obsolete in 37-38, tell the Americans who riveted much worse light tanks throughout the war. so no offense. T-26 was intended for what? to support the infantry !!!! so, perhaps better than him, and in our time who can cope, beetles do not have authority, well, he does not have a military education ...
        the T-26 is crawling behind the infantry trenches and hollows everything that crawls. and hell, what can you do to him. however as well as bt.
        after the capture of our tanks by Israel from the moronic Arabs, the towers were removed from the tanks and equipped with four or five firing points on them. the prototype of our terminator.
        so that the 2-turret T-26 had the right to life with proper use with the infantry, in particular, increasing the caliber of the machine gun to 12,7 or 14 mm.

        and in the end the Germans have a t-1 weighing almost 26 tons. armor 80 mm. everyone laughs at him, one tower 2 machine guns.
        and so, according to the recollections of the partisans. there was no more terrible tank for them. burned everything down to tigers and panthers. but this little bastard, try to burn it. captured only when planted in a swamp. for that then they made a rustle. because they already knew the hell out of it. but as they said 8na8 still burned.
        the ability to use technique correctly is an indisputable advantage of an intelligent and competent commander.

          Currently, the development of domestic tanks follows the path of increasing their mass without changing the engine and chassis design ... This leads to the fact that the chassis and suspension of domestic tanks are overloaded and prone to failure during their combat operation ...

            So, for a blitzkrieg, it is the speed of the march of tank formations that is important. A breakthrough of defense is one tenth of the time, the rest is a race of formations to key points and lines in the rear of the enemy, racing with his reserves. And then the BT column will lag behind even the infantry T-26.

            Slow down a little)
            The speed of a column of tanks is least dependent on the technical speed of the tank itself. 99% of it depends on logistics - the quantity and quality of roads, the capacity of bridges, the timeliness of fuel delivery, the organization of l / s power supply, route planning and the sequence of promotion of different services and subdivisions, regulation of "traffic", the ability of repair services to quickly repair or tow the building jam, broken car, training of mechanics and commanders, reliability of engines, transmissions and chassis, etc., etc. How many km / h in terms of performance characteristics a tank can give in this list takes a solid last place

              We read carefully:
              "Average technical speed - the speed of pure movement pillars, developed on the march (over 100 km), taking into account the necessary repairs, maintenance, etc. during the march. "

              That is, it is not the speed of the tank. This is exactly the speed pillars tanks, taking into account all the technical factors affecting the speed of the column.
              And along the same road column T-26 will pass faster than column BT.

                All these moments are either a human factor (the skills of commanders, organizational structure, the quality of tanks produced by factories, etc., etc.) or moments that do not depend on the tanks themselves - roads, bridges, etc.
                The commanders of the units of the armed T-26 or BT-5 did not differ in any way, the regulations were the same, the roads were the same, the technical problems of the produced equipment were the same.
                So 12-15 or 15-17 km / h is an ordinary Soviet filkin letter, which has nothing to do with reality.

                  I am only saying that, all other things being equal, with equal training of commanders and personnel (and, as you write, they were no different for units on the T-26 and BT), when moving from point A to point B, the unit on average T -26 will come earlier than if the same unit on the average BT was going along the same route. The average technical speeds of the T-26 and BT columns here play the role of relative values.

            it becomes clear that there is no significant superiority of Stuart in the booking
            and if you consider that this is the data of a 39-year-old tank .... then sorry Stuart nervously smokes on the sidelines.
            and now the most important thing is FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PURPOSE OF T-26.
            THIS TANK WAS NOT INTENDED FOR RAIDS AND BREAKTHROUGH, IT WAS INTENDED EXCLUSIVELY TO SUPPORT THE INFANTRY. EXPLORE ITS PURPOSE.
            And for the raids there were BT and T-28.
            for your understanding, even a speed of 15-20 km makes it much more difficult to fire at a tank. t-34 with frontal attacks developed a maximum of 25 kilometers, otherwise you do not see anything moving over rough terrain.
            and the main paradox is that from 700-800 meters, the T-36 destroyed any German tank until the spring of 1942, regardless of the place of impact. with the exception of the T-4 with reinforced armor and their guns were beaten in the side. their frontal seemed to be 80 mm.
            but the individual T-26s in the troops in 1943-44 represented a real danger to the Panthers, as they calmly pierced its side armor, I hope you know about the T-70 with the same gun.
            Finally, in 1940, the last cycle of changes in the design of the T-26 tank was carried out. During the war with Finland, screens were installed on some of the cars. The cemented armor of the turret platform 15 mm thick was replaced with a homogeneous one, 20 mm thick. In addition, a unified observation device and a new turret shoulder strap were introduced. The mass of the "twenty-sixth" with screens has already exceeded 12 tons.

              I can see directly a tank army of 500-600 tanks advancing along one road. And Zhukov, who personally sets the task for each company commander - to advance strictly along the road, not to conduct reconnaissance, not to interact with the infantry, not to use artillery.
              Stories about the tank armies burned down on the Seelow Heights the documents of these armies are not confirmed.
              Loss of equipment 1st Guards. On April 16, the tank army comprised 13 tanks that were burned down, 17 tanks that were wrecked, 4 SU-76 that were wrecked, and 2 SU-85 that were burned down.

              Losses of the 1st Guards. tank army for April 17 can be described as moderate. They amounted to 13 T-34, 3 IS-2, 1 SU-100, 2 SU-76 burned out, 24 T-34, 1 SU-100, 2 SU-85 - knocked out. Moreover, the advancing 11th tank corps was the most successful in losing 5 T-34s burned and 6 T-34s down.

              The total losses of equipment of the 1st Belorussian Front on April 18 amounted to 65 tanks and self-propelled guns burned out, 86 tanks and self-propelled guns damaged and another 13 disabled for other reasons

              On April 19, the German defenses collapsed. And this gave the tank armies a chance to cut off parts of the Wehrmacht from Berlin, preventing them from retreating to the city. If Zhukov had been waiting for a "clean breakthrough" to bring the TA into battle, then half of the 9th Army would have retreated to Berlin, and the storming of the city would have been much more bloody. And so, at the cost of some weakening of the TA when breaking through the enemy's defenses, it was possible to achieve that only the pale shadow of the only MK - 56th managed to reach Berlin.
              The 56th Panzer Corps arrived in Berlin, or rather retreated to Berlin, with up to 18 men in 4000 md, up to 200 men in the Müncheberg division, artillery of the division and four tanks; MD SS "Nordland" had 3500-4000 men; 20 md - 800-1200 people; 9 add - up to 500 people, but in Berlin it was replenished to 4000 people, i.e. 56 mk by the beginning of its operations directly in Berlin totaled 13-000 people

              In fact, a T-34 tank with a 4-step checkpoint on the battlefield developed a speed of 12-14 km / h. Simply because it was the maximum speed for second gear. Gear shifting was not practiced, because even with experienced mechanics the speed of the tank dropped to a stop and there was a danger of turning off the engine (according to Kubinka's report on the T-34 transmission).

              Mwa-ha-ha ... and the document from 1940 on testing Soviet armor-piercing shells on ANIOP, you have not seen either. It says in black and white that a 45-mm armor-piercing projectile penetrates from 1000 m only 30-mm armor with K = 2400, which corresponds to Soviet armor. As soon as K increases to 2600 (German tank armor), the armor penetration immediately drops sharply: 40 mm of German armor is of high-quality (not defective) 45-mm BBS penetrates only from 150 m.
              And the results of shooting German tanks in 1942 ("Czech", "three-ruble" and "four", forehead - 50 mm, as at the beginning of "Barbarossa") - were also not seen.
              The results of the shelling of the Czechoslovakian tank "Prague" 38T from a 45-mm cannon mod. 1934 armor-piercing tracer projectile ... 45-mm armor-piercing tracer projectile penetrates 50 mm frontal armor from a distance of 200 meters.

              The results of shelling a German T-III tank from a 45-mm gun mod. 1934 armor-piercing projectile ... 45-mm armor-piercing projectile 60 mm of frontal armor does not penetrate at any distance.

              The results of shelling a German T-IV tank from a 45-mm gun mod. 1934 ... 45-mm armor-piercing projectile, when fired from a gun mod. 1934, penetrates 50 mm thick frontal armor from a maximum distance of 50 meters

              True, the T-35 has another 3 "cannon - but the trouble is, according to the results of the same tests in 1940, a 76-mm tank gun with a 30-caliber barrel (L-11, F-32) penetrates 50-mm armor with K = 2500 (worse than German) only from 300 m.
              And most importantly, in 1941 the USSR did not have 76-mm armor-piercing shells. Of the 930 thousand BBS ordered by the industry from 1936 to 1941, by June 1941 it produced only 192 thousand. And the "consumers" were generally crumbs - in the Western border districts, only one mechanized corps had BR-350A tanks in the BC, in the rest, shrapnel was used as armor-piercing for impact - 30 mm from 300 m.

              The mass of the shielded T-26 model of 1939 reached 12 tons, which led to a strong overload of the tank's suspension and engine. Therefore, it was recommended to operate shielded T-26 in low gears.

              It is not surprising that, despite the fact that the troops have a complete set of documentation on shielding,
              ... until June 1941, no work was carried out to screen the T-26.

      By 1940, the tank was one head superior to the T-34.

      The problem is that the T-28 is technically complex, and of all tank factories, only the LKZ can produce it. This is a classic "factory-made tank". It is possible to arrange its production at ChKZ - the second site of LKZ. But Kharkov will not pull him - there the T-35s were assembled piece by piece and individually.
      Another problem of technical complexity is the small volume of production.
      And the third problem - if LKZ makes T-28, then he does not make KV. Kharkiv will definitely not master the production of KV - it is too heavy and thick-armored tank to switch to it from BT. And the Red Army is left without a heavy tank.

      using the tanks correctly without pushing them to the border with 0,25 refueling, and hitting the Germans with a full set would have a different picture.

      This is exactly what Zhukov ordered in KOVO. The result is known: the command of the South-Western Front canceled the order of the NGSH, arranged a leapfrog with the subordination and re-subordination of the corps, accompanied by constant marches, missed two days, after which they returned to the original plan. During this time, the tanks used up fuel, artillery and rear services fell behind on the march and were thinned out by enemy air strikes, and German infantry was entrenched in the directions of our strikes. And instead of a concentrated attack of several MKs with tanks, infantry and artillery on the flanks of the German tank wedge, in the interval between the "rollers" and the infantry, they received a frontal blow with bare tanks of the divisions that had been ground down on the march against the anti-tank defense of the German infantry.

        I bring to your attention that the T-28 tank was tested with guns -85 mm, 90 mm, 107 mm without changing the size of the turret ring. torsion bar suspension for KV was tested on it. t-28k it seems the tank index I do not remember had a reduced height by 200 or 300 mm, the modified frontal projection was removed from the machine gun turrets. due to this, the frontal sheet was straight. easier t-28 was nothing you obviously did not read the link. read it.
        in 1940, the t-28k was supposed to be in series at the Kolomna steam locomotive plant, there were at least two commissions from Kirovsky. they informed the designer's grandson. but the matter did not go beyond the conversation. there was strong pressure from Kharkov.
        don't talk about the complexity of the t-28 anymore. the most difficult part of the t-28 is the fan drive. I found data on its price, not 28 rubles, but about 000. With the total cost of the tank about 30, with a cost of 000 rubles, it is clear where the pressure came from?
        it is now fashionable to do research on the application of a particular technique.
        so the use of 1 t-35 tank with caponiers and support for t-26 in the amount of 10 tanks ensured the stability of the front when hitting 50-60 tanks, ha-ha, do not forget about 45 mm infantry and regimental artillery guns and a reserve of 40 tanks made it possible to quickly react to ongoing changes in the situation.
        unfortunately ours did not take advantage of this and I still did not find the data exactly where we were and for what reason we lost 8 tanks. one answer, failure due to technical reasons ...
        please read the link again.
        unfortunately I had to close my museum, where there were interesting meetings with war veterans and descendants of designers.

          Only with the 85 mm F-30. Moreover, the test gun itself failed twice: the breech of the first sample cracked after 90 shots, the second was not allowed to be tested at all - the gun was not balanced.
          The 95 mm F-39 tank gun was generally only in the drawings. Photography wandering in various publications "T-28 tank with an experienced 95-mm F-39 cannon installed in it"does not coincide with the drawings of the F-39 gun in terms of the barrel length and the armor of the mask and, in the opinion of Yu. Pasholok, is a retouched photograph of the T-28 tank with the 76-mm F-27 cannon.
          As for 107 mm ...
          ... field tests of the ZIS-6 began only in June, namely on the 25th - after the start of the war. During the tests, which took place before July 5, 618 shots were fired.
          Y Yu. Pasholok
          Moreover, the system was tested from the machine, because the KV-3 tower was not yet ready. There is no question of installing it in the T-28.

          The problem is that real Germans are not a line of drunken machine gunners with rolled up sleeves. First, they will put a couple of 15cm shells in the trench. And then they will work on the stuck T-35. Taking into account his reservation, a 10-cm howitzer is enough.

    Everything would be fine, but the author did not take into account the fact that such equipment was built in the 20-...30s not out of nothing to do, and not even because of a “stupid technical specification,” but based on the availability of capabilities, in the broad sense of this concept, knowledge , skills, engineering school, production capabilities, availability of power plant, quality of armor steel. The same fully applies to aviation. By the way, the vision of combat use is included in the same piggy bank. Otherwise, according to the text, it turned out that the designer immediately offered the IS-3, but Tukhachevsky sent them out in the woods and demanded wedges. And if we return to the robotic platform, we need to start somewhere and hone our developments. And it is still unknown what and how it will show itself in real combat operations. It is also unknown what form the armed conflict will take in the near future, and even more so in the distant...

    Writing articles is not moving bags. In the author’s words, apart from criticism, which in some places has a right to exist, I saw nothing more.
    You can, of course, stop developing weapons and start producing spoons, forks and modern pots and pans for our civilian population. But if we are very smart but weak, the bad guys will come and take away all our high-tech peaceful belongings. This happens all the time.
    Therefore, we need to make both frying pans and tanks with Poseidons. Moreover, the military-industrial complex has always been a source of new technologies. We developed a rocket with a guidance system, and then we can make a fork that won’t miss a frying pan with potatoes.
    We have a lot of critics (and managers), but there is no one to work for us.

    The author of the article has very little understanding of the formation and development of tank building both in the USSR and abroad in the pre-war years...
    I’ll explain it popularly:
    Tanks all over the world are designed and produced based on two axioms - the tactics of use and the capabilities of the country's military-industrial complex.!!!
    The 20-30s of the XNUMXth century were a time of rapid tank building in the developed countries of the world. And by the way, it’s also a time of vigorous engineering experiments in this area...


    So - in the minds of engineers at that time, the idea of ​​a tank-land battleship dominated... A kind of 2-3, or even better, 5-6-turret monster on the battlefield, rushing towards enemy positions and spewing fire almost 360 degrees... But life has shown the complete failure of this concept, since in a real battle it is difficult to conduct coordinated fire even with 2 guns, much less with 3-5, and the battle turned into chaos - in which some guns were idle and others did not have time to fire...

      The idea of ​​the wedge is that in the vast expanses of the USSR it is not always advisable to carry heavy artillery with you, but you always need to support your infantry with machine gun fire...
      There is no need to carry a huge supply of shells with you, the wedge can go into such wilds that the tank cannot reach... And most importantly, in the speed-armor paradigm of the wedge, the emphasis was clearly on the first... And also - the industry could produce faster and more wedges than tanks and at least this will shut up the problem areas of the country.

      So they released it - both Germany before the war and the USSR - as a quick solution to their problems. But with the further increase in the caliber of shells and the thickness of armor, the use of light armored vehicles became useless as methods of combating them have greatly developed...
      In the end, I want to say that I am sure that if it weren’t for these experiments, the T-34 would not have appeared with us - the tank is an ideal - golden speed-armor ratio... A tank of great victory!!!

        And also - in fact, one of the worst tanks of the 2nd World War, the Sherman was not so bad because the United States could not design a supertank.... The United States made Shermans because this tank was very easy to manufacture and the American military-industrial complex could produce it in the thousands without greatly straining the peaceful sector of the economy... While the German and Japanese military-industrial complex worked at 200%, primarily at the expense of the peaceful sector, the United States systematically increased the volume of production of everything - and by the end of the 2nd World War they simply crushed the Axis countries in the production of everything, including tanks!!!

        Sherman is a tin can on tracks - but the Americans boasted that they could replace any damaged Sherman in 72 hours!!! And this is already serious - this suggests that by the beginning of 45, German wunderwaffles were dying out like mammoths on the battlefield, and American tanks, on the contrary, were multiplying like locusts!!!

    I graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Institute with a degree in Automation and Integrated Mechanization of Mechanical Engineering. Yeah, those same industrial robots, plus rotary conveyor lines, plus machining centers, etc. and so on. Today, from my group, which was considered the best group of the institute, NOBODY is working in their specialty. No one! But because the graduation was in 1989, and then - the victory of democracy and everyone survived as best they could. Everyone has retrained in all directions.

    The first tank battle of WWII, the oncoming battle in the Gembloux corridor - have you heard?
    And the French were commanded by the cavalryman Priou, who, in particular, was concerned about the uninterrupted supply of fuel and shells to his troops. And he completed his combat mission 100%.
    In contrast to the “apostle of tanks” De Gaulle, who ruined his division in the worst style of our June 1941 - in frontal attacks by tanks blindly, in squadrons, at most - battalion by battalion, without reconnaissance, infantry support and any coordination with neighbors.

    History develops in a spiral. At each new round we have to check the effectiveness of previously unsuitable samples using the latest technologies. And the Marker can be converted into a rear “mule”, but it is not easy to convert a mule into a combat unit. I believe that a Marker has a right to exist if it can actually get from point A to point B without the help of an operator. Those. will be able to independently overcome ravines and rivers. In addition, I would consider equipping the Marker with a remote mining system. And this may be Marker's main specialty. The main task: to paralyze the enemy’s actions by filling the area where he is deployed with mines capable of distinguishing armed people at a distance of up to 50 m and hitting them with a fragmentation grenade jumping out in the direction of movement.

    Oh, I missed the publication of this article! I didn’t have time to comment in time) but nevertheless, albeit late, I’ll unsubscribe)

    In my humble opinion, the author completely undeservedly offends Tukhachevsky by comparing him with modern “effective managers”!))) yes, Tukhachevsky was completely deservedly shot for bungling. He did a lot of stupid things. And Kurchevsky’s guns, and a single anti-tank-anti-aircraft gun, and plans to build 100 tanks, completely without regard to the economy.

    However, firstly, oddly enough, certain equipment was produced and military reserves were nevertheless made, as they say, having a bad tank is much better than not having any at all, after all, the old T-26 and BT managed to contribute to containing the enemy army (albeit tragically small), the T-27s managed to work as light tractors and guard headquarters, the T-37s and T-38s managed to show up in some places (although for the beginning of the 30s, by the way, the equipment was quite normal, it’s not the fault of the wedges and light tanks that technology developed so rapidly and they were already outdated by the beginning of the 40s, and the Red Army soldiers, I’m sure, remembered more than once or twice about amphibious tanks during numerous landing operations during the war), while modern technology exists mainly in cartoons and or, in extreme cases, on parades There are no 2500 Armatas, there are no diesel engines for the fleet, which Roman repeatedly mentions, and there are no engines for the SU-57... You look at the photographs from the exercises, old ZILs, Shishigi, Uraganchiki and T-72s are being driven, not even modernized...

    Well, and secondly, apparently Tukhachevsky was still mistaken, so to speak, “from the bottom of his heart.” Simply, not having the proper education and intelligence, I thought that it was necessary to do it this way... Instead of getting rich on government orders, cutting up the budget. (although, God knows, in reality... The case materials seem to still not be open)

      You are wrong and the Kurchevsky cannon is in fact the beginning of rocket artillery and recoilless gun systems. The same as with regard to a single anti-aircraft anti-tank gun. The German 88mm flakk proved to be excellent against both aircraft and tanks. Both anti-tank and self-propelled artillery and Wehrmacht tanks from 43 were equipped with anti-aircraft guns. So he wasn't so wrong.

    Firstly, Tukhachevsky was deputy people's commissar for armaments. Not the People's Commissar. The People's Commissar was the narrow-minded Voroshilov.
    Secondly, only a narrow-minded person can call Tukhachevsky a rabid and narrow-minded person.
    Tukhachevsky is known all over the world as a theorist of modern tank warfare. Guderian and de Gaulle considered him their teacher. It was he who was the author of the idea to create tank armies. Sort of iron fists. Voroshilov and Budyonny hated him; they were ardent supporters of cavalry armies. As soon as Tukhachevsky was shot, tanks from the corps were distributed among divisions as infantry support.
    Perhaps he was not a tanker, but only a theorist of tank warfare, and did something stupid with weapons, but it was he who placed orders for the development of KV and T-34 tanks. By the way, the initiator of the infamous wedges was not he, but Voroshilov, who wanted to use them to support equestrian formations.
    So, dear author, you are not quite right in everything.
    And I absolutely support what you write about our modern Potemkin villages. The president is fed bullshit, but he scares the world with these mythical developments. There is undoubtedly something, but a small part of what he told the world.

    I want to start with the fact that Tukhachevsky was so wrong. There were Kurchevsky guns, now there are RPGs, the difference is not very big, the ideology is the same. After Tukhachevsky, the tank brigades were dispersed and then restored. Today we returned to the same thing: battalion groups. So the ideology is the same. But about our new products... There are serious doubts. An android robot on an ATV is complete nonsense, non-functional. New armored vehicles - maybe military tests? We played in Syria and threw away half of it. The largest ones and TB-3 are simply outdated. But we have the very best again. So there are questions, but not so sharply

    Without going into details, the author’s message is partly true. A lot of conceptual rubbish is offered at exhibitions like IDEX, Army, etc. However, the laws of dialectics say “quantity turns into quality.” There is no need to interrupt the "stream of consciousness" of weapons engineers. It's expensive, but without it it's impossible to come to wonder waffe. T34, BM21 and AK47 were not designed from scratch. Although, of course, Tukhachevsky took away a lot of industrial potential from the Red Army, which could have been used effectively.

    They say that Hitler cherished plans to take over the world, having built as many as 1.09.1939 tanks by September 2, 977. What then was going on in the head of Tukhachevsky, who demanded 100 tanks from Stalin?

    Ohh... For starters, by June 22, 1941, Stalin did not have 25000 built tanks to fight off the German 3500. And who will understand that some of these built have already been delivered abroad, some were lost in battles with Japan and Finland, some are hopelessly outdated and decommissioned, and some are simply not combat-ready, and finally, some are not tanks at all, but wedges. But for some reason 25000 is the genius of Stalin, and 100000 is the madness of Tukhachevsky.

    T-37 and T-38, amphibious tanks, which were used in 4 years of the war in one single operation. 2670 pieces of T-37, 1430 pieces of T-38.

    It is inconvenient to quote Suvorov-Rezun, but indeed, light machine-gun tanks were produced by the Germans, the Japanese, the British, the French, and the Americans. And all of them, in addition to being light and machine-gun, are also non-floating.

    BT-7, wheeled-tracked tanks, which were not used as wheeled ones. Due to the elementary lack of roads. 8 249 pieces of all modifications.

    There were so many not BT-7s, but in general BTs of all modifications, starting with the “high-speed tractor” purchased in America. And at least some serial alternative superior to the BT appeared in 38-39 (S35, PzIII with 30 mm armor, M2 medium, etc.). Moreover, both we and the British riveted the descendants of the Christie tank throughout the war.

    TB-1 and TB-3, the prototypes of strategic bombers, completely defenseless and useless. 212 TB-1 and 818 TB-3.

    The planes are completely in the spirit of their time. The TB-3 was produced until 1937. Who allowed it on daytime flights in 1941 is another question. The Germans did not allow Arado-1941 and other rubbish into battle in 65.

    Well, on the other hand, drone aircraft have shown their best side and, in order not to fall behind, we need to develop the ground direction of combat robots. As for the statistics on the use of robots in industry, they are not always reliable (these are Western statistics). In general, Russia has quite a strong position in industrial production. In recent decades, the West has been increasing its GDP through the service sector: people went shopping, visited restaurants, etc. They multiplied the local GDP there, and in Russia the share of industry in GDP is much higher than in the West, we actually produce something.

He is not a designer of equipment, he is not an engineer, he did not take money from anyone and did not accept new weapons alone. At that time, the BT-7 was very good! And the fact that we don’t have roads means that Stalin never planned a war on his territory! How many more fools are there who are confident in his “peaceful nature”?
