"An impressive place to work": the loader of the German "Leopard" spoke about the service on the tank

Manual loading of the cannon is traditionally the basis for criticism of the German tank "Leopard". As many believe, the lack of automatic delivery of the projectile to the gun negatively affects the rate of fire, not to mention the difficulties that the crew faces. However, Bundeswehr corporal Britta Frey (Fry), serving on the German MBT as a loader, is pleased with her service. She told reporters about her.

Her duties include not only loading the Leopard 2A6 gun, but also working with a 7,62 mm machine gun, if necessary, with an anti-aircraft gun. She is also responsible for radio equipment.

In principle, any crew member can become a loader. However, you should be able to equip the 23mm smoothbore cannon with 120 kg rounds.

- says the 24-year-old girl, explaining that she copes with her duties.

I like being in a battle tank for at least two weeks when there are intense classes.

Britta, the daughter of an officer, chose the military because she "wanted to do a job that was challenging not only mentally but also physically."

In my opinion, the Bundeswehr was the best choice. It is never boring because no two days are alike. In addition, you interact with people a lot, get to know a variety of characters and soon appreciate them as companions.

- explains the corporal.

She began serving at headquarters, but became disillusioned with her and transferred to the armored forces.

For me, a battle tank is an impressive place to work, impressive and unique with all its capabilities.

- says the girl.

She intends to follow in her father's footsteps and has already applied for a transfer to an officer's courses. But before starting her studies, she will have to take part in the Baltic mission. This suggests that the German Defense Ministry actually defines maneuvers and firing at the Baltic range as military practice.

What I like about the [military] operation in Lithuania is its multinationality and the ability to work with soldiers from other countries. I am looking forward to the planned large-scale exercises

- Britta concludes her interview.

Yes, it's a problem. However, the coronavirus is slowly teaching hands to wash
Do you know how Korney Ivanovich himself explained the appearance of Moidodyr, Fedora and Aibolit in a letter to the rector of the Institute of National Economy Khalatov?

... Am I straying from trends in my children's books. Not at all! For example, the tendency of "Moidodyr" is a passionate appeal of the little ones to cleanliness, to wash. I think that in a country where not so long ago they used to say about everyone who brushes his teeth, "hey, hey, you see, well and then!" this trend is worth everyone else. I know hundreds of cases where "Moidodyr" played the role of the People's Commissariat for Health for the little ones.

The same tendency is with Fedorin Gore. It promotes hygiene, sanitation, and respect for things, which our young culture lacks.

I will, I will be dishes
And love and respect.

The tendency of my "Limpopo" is respect for medicine and doctors, which is also not superfluous in a country of little culture.

Tank "Iron Kaput" from KALAMBUR

[Baron pardus]

It remains to be seen which is better. Charger or mechanism. The mechanism does NOT provide a higher rate of fire than the loader. For example, our M1A2 usually quietly reach a rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute. It is also known that the rate of fire of 17 rounds per minute was achieved at the competitions - the entire "combat stock" was fully used. I read that some crew fired 17 shots in 47 seconds. The presence of ammunition in the BO is also not sugar, ammo behind armored doors and with blow-out panels gives the crew a CHANCE not to be turned into steam when detonating the ammo. ... Everyone has already written about the fact that projectiles of a certain length can be loaded into the automatic loader. And making an automatic loader in a tower niche is also dumb, the dimensions increase (and they also need to be booked). Well, change the caterpillar faster with four than three. So what is better. And it's easier to replace the loader than to repair the automatic loader. As for the women in the army. Damn, I've seen enough. We had women in one transport company. Well, yes, they have fulfilled the standards. But when loading and unloading trucks, they worked exactly 2 times slower than the men, of course the men had to take the rap for them. This did not add love and respect to these women. But, again - it is impossible to SAY anything - sexism, discrimination, etc. and so on. Yes, a 120 pound woman did 40 push-ups. But lugging 80-120 pound boxes for a 200 pound guy who did the same 40 push-ups will be MUCH easier. But, naturally, no one could say a word - sexism, sir. On the other hand, we had several women in the brigade - specialists in the repair of radio electronic equipment - no one had any complaints about their service. good specialists, worked great.

You are not yet aware that a person gets tired and cannot constantly maintain a high pace. But this is fixable: as soon as you start lifting something heavier than a manicure file, you will immediately understand.

I am not a tanker, I am an infantryman, a military medic. Although he dragged mines to mortars. I had to :-). I'll tell you a secret, the tank DOES NOT NEED to constantly maintain a huge rate of fire. The shells tend to run out, but quickly fire 2-3 shells at the detected target - yes, here you can, and here the loader will work faster than AZ.

Let's start with the fact that almost ALL new or promising developments exclude the loader from the crew. So what is better is known. In addition, if you read the technical literature on this topic (except, of course, the American one), then according to the totality of its capabilities, many recognize the K2 Black Panther (Korea) as the best tank at the moment. And in it, the loader is absent.

Quote: Baron Pardus

I read that some crew fired 17 shots in 47 seconds.

In hothouse conditions, having previously prepared the BC "under the arm" and without movement - I can believe it. But when the tank is moving, when the loader does not know whether he will jump now, slide down, or can suddenly jerk to the side, such records are not even close. And AZ / MZ copes with this.

Quote: Baron Pardus

Everyone has already written about the fact that projectiles of a certain length can be loaded into the automatic loader.

And these problems can be solved: the same K2 or Armata.

[oldzek]

and more, she says there about 23kg ... okay, a sub-caliber one. and a high-explosive fragmentation weighs over 30kg and on a crossroads. there is no time to record loading speed. this is what I say to you as a former charger. shudder ...

[Baron pardus]

By the way, you are absolutely right. At that event, 17 shots were fired in 45 or 47 seconds from a standstill. They just threw shells at the cannon at maximum temp. And they spent the "handy" ammunition. But in Iraq, in the battles for the Ar Rumailah airfield, our tanks showed a rate of fire (On the move) an average of 10 rounds per minute. as a rule, one shell is already in the gun, the second is in the hands of the loader. Two shells one after the other, given our LMS, will be enough to hit an enemy tank or other target, and if you don't destroy it, then disable it. I spoke about AZ in the tower. It increases the size of the turret (see the same Panther), and makes the tank heavier. In general, the simplest turret AZs were used by the French in theirs AMX13. Moreover, it is cheaper to replace a wounded or sick loader than to change and repair an AZ. The Germans, by the way, are not chasing AZ. But it seems to me that Germany has a little (just a little) more experience of war than South Korea. The rate of fire does not make much difference. You can shoot 45 times from a 10mm cannon (and even hit) a T62 lobster without punching it. You can shoot 10 times and not hit. And this already depends on the OMS and detection devices, and no rate of fire will help.

Leclerc in this case is considered a tank that can shoot 8 rounds per minute SIGHTING. In the West, this is considered an unsurpassed result. You can shoot 50 shots per minute, but even Roman Mars does not know WHERE the shells will fly.

This should be said by the developers of the A-192. First of all, AZ makes it possible to reduce the size of the tank! And the size of the BOPS is limited - this is how the AZ was designed when they were very small.
And make the tower uninhabited
But the American loaders union will never give free rein to the designers!

[mister-red]

It is also known that the rate of fire of 17 rounds per minute was achieved in competitions.

The key phrase is in competitions. During a battle, when a tank jumps over rough terrain, when some shell hits the armor and even though it doesn't pierce, the ringing in the ears will be awesome, and maybe blood from the ears - that's when we'll look at the rate of fire.

[bk316]

, Tell me please, a medic, but how to make an uninhabited tower without an automatic loader?

[d4rkmesa]

Oh, now they will throw at you ... That a "leather bag" as a loading mechanism is better and can carry large BOPSs, which not every AZ can do.

[Simargl]

Quote: d4rkmesa

and can carry large BOPSs, which not every AZ is able to do.

This is how the designers will untie their hands, how they stick 130-140-155 / 152 mm into tanks, how the BOPS will become one and a half meters long and a cartridge for 100 kg - we'll see.

[Baron pardus]

Then AZ will become quite relevant, especially for 140-155mm. Although the Germans, smart guys, just took the old 120mm cannon, lengthened the barrel, strengthened the structure for firing more powerful bops and are happy. Another thing is that if some goof throws a NEW reinforced projectile into an OLD cannon, it can bang beautifully. (I do not know if there is foolproof protection or not). Considering that a NEW cannon can be installed on OLD tanks, this is a very simple and cheap solution .. And the fact that 130mm (Germans) and 140mm (French) will be designed, well, let's see for now. By the way, the German gun was tested, emnip on the Challenger, where the loader sits. And loaded by hand.
And what about the dimensions. You see, modern fire control systems absolutely do not care if your tank is 2.2 meters high (T90) or 2.4 meters (Abrams). Seichas, by the way, there is a discussion in the United States about missile tanks. I mean, a tank with a light cannon, but the main armament is something like Hellfair Longboy. By the way, this Helfair also absolutely does not care about a 2.2 meter or 2.4 meter tank. A modern tank gun has a dispersion of not 10 meters by 500 meters. Here is infa about the accuracy of the L7 cannon https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a073353.pdf and since then they have invented a lot of things.

The rate of fire is the same. If your LMS is mediocre, then rate of fire won't help you much. You simply will not be able to hit the target from the first shot, and an enemy with a good SLA will simply not give you a chance for a second shot. If you have bad means of detection, and the enemy has good ones, then your rate of fire will NOT help you either. You simply will not find the enemy. And find yourself standing in front of the Apostle Peter (or in front of Odin).
The fact that the Koreans and the French put AZ on the tanks does not mean EXACTLY anything. Why? And because everything is done for the sake of profit. And if they pushed through an expensive tank (and, EMNIP Leclerc and Panther are the most expensive in the world, more expensive than Abrams and Leopard2), this does not mean that the TANK is BETTER, which means that the manufacturer will receive MORE profit.
Speaking of money, the charger is CHEAPER AZ, it's also cheaper to repair, I'm not talking about the fact that ALL tankers are taught at least the basics of what others in the crew do. So the loader can somehow replace the wounded (or killed) gunner or another member of the ekpage. It is also faster to load the BC with four people :-) for those who have doubts, I recommend downloading the BC at least in Bradley. By oneself..

I say it again. Let's say, LET'S ADMIT you have Abrams in service (whatever, if only without AZ). New, longer BOPS appear, but you don't care. Negro Tyrone will throw them just like the old ones. Then you decided to put a new German cannon, well, which is L55, on reinforced charges. And you don't care. Negro Tyrone will charge the same way as before. Now let's imagine that you have a T-80. New long BOPS have arrived, but they do not climb into AZ. From the word NO. and like BOPS are in the warehouse, but we cannot shoot them. Then we decided that we will lengthen it 125mm and strengthen it, we will do it like the Germans with their 120mm. The cannon has been installed, but NEW shells do not fit into the OLD AZ. And now you have the pleasure of making love with the new AZ and its installation in the OLD building and the OLD tower.
Therefore the charger is simply cheaper. In all senses. And given the fact that our loaders serve for at least 4 years, then the skill of throwing shells on the move will be more than that of a brow who served 1 year.

Clever girls! Our mediocrity made a cannon, to which it is not worth letting live people when shooting - without an ejector, which means - a parasitic volume and a pressure drop zone. I had to fence the tank without a crew in the tower.

Quote: Baron Pardus

And what about the dimensions. You see, modern fire control systems absolutely do not care if your tank is 2.2 meters high (T90) or 2.4 meters (Abrams).

No, I don’t understand. The fact is that I can shoot, I shot from different weapons. And I understand very well the difference in target dimensions. It's one thing to notice a target, it's another to hit it: if the Abrams profile is 90 times larger than the T-1,4, then it's easier to hit ... 2-3 times. Don't believe me?
Simple experience:
1 - go to the shooting range,
2 - make 100 shots,
3 - cover all holes with a profile (for example, a tank), count (let's say, it turned out 100),
4 - draw the same profile, but 1,4 times smaller area,
5 - count the holes, count the ratio.

It was in the T-14 that they drove people into a capsule, expelled from the tower, reduced the armor volume and made the equivalent of frontal armor in a meter with the same mass. Ignoramuses, WHO!

Quote: Baron Pardus

Then you decided to put a new German cannon, well, which is L55, on reinforced charges. And you don't care.

Oh yeah! Negro don't care. The same as the AZ T-90, because if you really need it, you can also charge the Lead ... with handles. Slowly but possible. Oops ... betrayed a military secret ...
However, if you don’t know, I’ll let you know: the length of the shot for Abrams is limited to about 1 m. The M829E4 has already reached the bottom of the sleeve. The improved AZ T-90 - yes, it only digests 74 cm versus 90 cm.

[Baron pardus]

We have a WARNING in the army that "your chosen profession can carry professional risks", you sign a piece of paper saying that you knew about it, and you are free. The gunners sign that they know that their hearing may be affected. By the way, now in the USA there is a court, a company that supplied earplugs for the Armed Forces, the USSA supplied some kind of crap that did not protect the soldiers from damage to the hearing aid. The company is now on trial. And robust. Have you been warned? They warned you - your problems, if you want to be a loader - try to tear yourself at least until the uterus falls out, but YOU WERE WARNED. Everything is "democratic", we have "equality" (in theory). Again, you are warned more than once or twice that if you are injured, and you do not have a bulletproof vest and helmets, then there will be NO COMPENSATION - you have violated the safety technique. Therefore, our in any heat and in bulletproof vests, and in a helmet. Not in berets, caps and hats, bandanas, but in helmets. +40? Doesn't sway. But this is the ARMY, the special forces have their own troubles and rules.

At what point ordinary good girls become completely like this ... "enchanting" women ?? Really, during her entire puberty period, none of the guys told her that she was beautiful or pretty, that it turned down to the tank ?? How can one fail to recall the Apostle Paul (Rom. 1) with his "their women replaced their natural use with an unnatural one" - what is it like an unnatural use of a woman?

[CAT BAIYUN]

Yeah .... I'm not a tanker, but from my point of view, an autoloader is better than a separate and specially trained crew member. And here it is not a member at all ...
Woman-loader .... Gosspeedya ... To me, the Bundeswehr reminds me of a circus? These are the grave consequences of having a female gynecologist at the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces.

Her duties include not only loading the Leopard 2A6 gun, but also working with a 7,62 mm machine gun, if necessary, with an anti-aircraft gun. She is also responsible for radio equipment.

The beginning of the 80s. BMRT of the "Pushkin" type. There is no automation at the fish factory. We go out to the basement. We had a girl in the basement, a barmaid. I called them girls from the grenadier battalion. So she is in the basement for a place to drive with capelin, put the hammers in place, very difficult physically work .. The hammer loads the cages with fish pails. 11 kg fish plus a 4 or 5 kg baking sheet. 2 cages of 44 piles in each, a total of 88 pieces. 88 pieces in less than 6 minutes. Put such a loader Leopard or Abrams in bursts. And between bursts of smoke breaks, it's sacred. So this corporal has much to strive for.

Each person decides for himself where he belongs and where he does not belong. And no one should care about this. And then if you read the comments here, sheer condemnation and cliché, they say there is no place for a woman ... Who said that? Who decided that? Who thinks so? Who gave such a right to whom? But what about the right to choose? Or is it not given to the female sex or partially?

get a brick from a local brick factory (by hand).

became a chain from the oven to the gate, and we were built on the street-
to the truck. To the middle of the body of the Urals, the chain began to give
crashes. Then the sailors asked for a smoke break. Aunts in rude
thick robes at the stoves were laughed at - be ashamed of the bulls
