"The philosophy of Soviet armored vehicles failed": the Czech Republic assessed the results of the Karabakh campaign

The outcome of fierce battles in Nagorno-Karabakh allowed Baku to impose peace conditions on the Armenian side, which may be perceived by Azerbaijan as a victorious end to the campaign.

There are not many victims on the drone account

The Czech publication CZDefence, believing that "Azerbaijan has an undeniable qualitative military superiority," tried to assess the outcome of the war in terms of modernizing its own army. First of all, the dominance of Baku was noticeable when using UAVs, which were represented by three types: exclusively reconnaissance (such as IAI Heron, Elbit Hermes or Aeronautics Orbiter), disposable attackers "drones-kamikaze" (for example, IAI Harop or Elbit SkyStriker) and, finally, Drones with precision-guided munitions (especially Bayraktar TB2), which accounted for a significant proportion of the destroyed troops.

But, probably, the largest share of Armenian losses among equipment and personnel falls on the Azerbaijani artillery [...] When we talk about UAVs, reconnaissance drones are of the greatest tactical importance

- considers CZDefence, pointing out that they allow the commander to control the situation on the battlefield in near real time, identify enemy positions and conduct targeted artillery fire.

As the newspaper writes, it is in this vein of the Czech army that it is necessary to build a procurement program: first of all, scouts should be purchased, and then drones of other categories. At the same time, air defense should be strengthened, which should be equipped with C-UAS systems equipped with equipment for detecting, tracking (in various ranges) and destroying or jamming UAVs.

Artillery is the god of war

Following the Ukrainian theater of operations, artillery demonstrated its advantages in Karabakh. However, it boils down not only to trunks, but also to target tracking and fire control systems - something that "the separatists of Donbass and the armed forces of Azerbaijan" possessed, unlike Kiev and Armenia. This includes both drones and artillery radars or passive electronic reconnaissance systems. Actually, the barrels, as noted by CZDefence, should be subject to the requirements for rate of fire and mobility, which, for example, are possessed by CAESAR and DANA wheeled ACS (subject to their modernization).

Rocket launchers are extremely important, but the Czech army decommissioned its 122mm systems back in 2010. Local RM-70 Vampire or Israeli IMI Lynx can be used to restore the fleet of this equipment.

To resist enemy artillery fire, it is necessary to equip troops with a C-RAM system, which is able to destroy artillery missiles, shells and mines. The base radar should be the Israeli IAI / Elta EL / M-2084 radar, the weapon of destruction - the Rafael SPYDER-MR system with Python guided missiles. The next step should be the purchase of a more powerful air defense system, "ideally the IAI Barak MX".

Soviet armored vehicles are outdated

In terms of armored vehicles, the publication believes that "the basic philosophy of Soviet armored vehicles has failed," as it does not provide sufficient protection for the crew and troops from the destructive effects of modern weapons:

Most armored vehicles of Soviet origin have low (and decreasing) combat value on the modern battlefield

- considers CZDefence, pointing out that its modernization can be considered only as a temporary solution: "the military of a developed country should use completely different platforms", and not such as the BVP-2 [based on the BMP-2] in service with the Czech army or the upgraded T tank -72M4 CZ.

The Czech army just needs new Tankswhich offer higher levels of protection, firepower and mobility

- the newspaper notes, believing that an interesting option could be a possible adaptation of the South Korean MBT K2.

The Czech army just needs new tanks that offer higher levels of protection, firepower and mobility.

And what exceptional parameters does Black Panther have? Will the presence of TIUS and BIUS protect against being hit by a projectile or ammunition from a UAV? Or is NERA dynamic protection a panacea for all ills? Continuation of one of the sides of Russophobia - in Russia all the weapons are bad and "rusty" (according to the US Assistant Secretary of State for Military and Political Affairs Clark Cooper).

I wonder which of the neighbors is the Czech Republic going to fight with? And does she need these expenses?

[Aerodrome]

"The philosophy of Soviet armored vehicles failed": the Czech Republic assessed the results of the Karabakh campaign

and it never occurred to the Czechs that the "bayraktar" did not care, the T-72, or the "leclerc", or "abrams", or "leo" ... just strategic illiteracy and the technological backwardness of the Armenian Armed Forces.

[dedBoroded]

This is an elementary fear of the ghosts of the Soviet past, to which these very Czechs had their hands, and now they are ashamed of it, as unfashionable and outdated parents. A tank is not a drone, you can't build it in a year. The development of tanks stretches for tens of years even in technically developed countries at enormous costs. There has been no union for 30 years, but what is the groundwork left? And so any donkey can kick a dead lion.

[Boris Chernikov]

so they are 30 years old are told about "rusty Russian weapons". and why the tank should fight the drone, when it is an air defense task

[ProkletyiPirat]

Quote: Boris Chernikov

and why the tank has to fight the drone,when it's an air defense mission

Well, in this case, "not everything is so simple", UAVs are different, and if air defense systems can still work against the "Elbit SkyStriker", at least theoretically, then against the UAV-kamikaze-VVPZ (VTOL) (for example, quadcopters with OFS \ KS \ IED), the air defense will not do anything, including air defense on derivation base and / or terminator.

[Boris Chernikov]

and why not? the task is to provide detection and tracking, which will automatically allow the destruction to be carried out ... and yes ... since you have specialized complexes that cannot cope, how do you propose to fight tanks? convert them into specialized vehicles? maximum that can be expected in the future -equipping tanks with complexes a la anti-drone with a microwave / laser ... although it can put an SOEP from President-S there? in the same way it will blind the optics ... you can first put on the command vehicle 1 on a platoon, and then on the rest put if necessary

[ProkletyiPirat]

Because a real war is far from theoretical verbiage. You do not quote PR slogans from manufacturers, customers and other theorists, but simulate!

1) Here you take a platoon of T72 tanks with the support of the derivation-air defense and infantry, here you enter the settlement with the task of capture, the enemy at the intersection takes out the tanks and leaves, the derivation could not protect the AFV, the Khrushchevs blocked the detection / firing trajectory for it (the enemy was not * mate * and took into account the location of your forces, LDP and your forces).

2) The same LDP, the same scenario, we take the fact of UAV detection as an axiom, like everything is fine and victory? Yes, no matter how! The enemy simply duplicates the attack in different places at once and / or changes the design of the UAV making it faster / more maneuverable!

2) The same LDP, the same scenario, take the fact that the fragments hit the UAV as an axiom, like everything is fine and victory? Yes, no matter how! The enemy simply changes the design of the UAV by adding anti-fragmentation protection and uses the OFS, not the KS! Yes, there is even nothing special to come up with, just a rework of the "anti-bunker bombs \ KR" in the direction of cheaper and lower speeds / ranges.

And this is even without talking about resources and "chaos on the battlefield" ...

[Smooth]

UAVs are different

Very true. Only conclusions from their own words have not been made, alas ...

if air defense systems can work against the "Elbit SkyStriker" at least theoretically, then against the UAV-kamikaze-VVPZ (VTOL) ... the air defense will not do anything

Uh-huh. It won't. For nothing against the above-mentioned UAVs, from the point of view of air defense, should not be done. Such drones are the extraction of electronic warfare equipment.
Let me remind you to refresh your memory, there is an addiction - the more the UAV is protected from electronic warfare means, the more expensive it is. And the protection / price relationship is far from linear. You can super-duper-mega-turbo protect your magic wunder-quadrocopter from electronic warfare, but you will only have enough money to buy ADYN such a "sweet" drone (figuratively speaking). Well, maybe as many as TWO. Yeah, two. And it is not yet known which will be more expensive - your drones, or the tanks that they will have to hit.
And then it will be like in an anecdote:
- Commander, what if the enemy uses tanks?
- And against tanks, we will launch drones, drones, and more drones!
- How? All two?

[Imobile]

Understand that they have normal literacy in terms of using Soviet technology and they were well equipped with electronic warfare systems, tanks and air defense systems in comparison with Azerbaijan. And they acted with ground forces quite competently (judging by the video), unlike Azerbaijan. Or do you propose to transfer all air defense systems to Russia? I think the result would be the same, only there would be more personnel for the destruction of air defense. And Azerbaijan VS Armenia and Russia VS USA, The amount of air defense per kilometer is not just catastrophically small in Russia, but practically absent. And even if all people are driven to do air defense, this will not improve the situation, one must act on the upper level with the mind, not with the hands.
Azerbaijan has shown that even if there is not much intelligence at the lower level, it is possible to win a war with small forces if there is intelligence at the upper level. The mind at the top level allows you to reduce losses at the bottom.

Masterpiece. "Air defense per kilometer" - what for a kilometer, excuse me? What is this indicator? Taiga, tundra - also counted? "Colllicity", you see ... for a kilometer ...

[Boris Chernikov]

"too little" .. how much? 3,5 thousand air defense systems of various types .. can you tell who has enough of them then? Az-n won in fact at the expense of the wunderwafle in the face of the UAV, and the Armenians first bought rotten air defense systems, then squeezed to introduce more modern systems, which led to an increase in losses, because Pashinyan did not need victory from a word at all

[Imobile]

I personally wrote a manual to justify the destruction of the C300.
The first thing that they did not have time to deploy
second crooked hands
agreement not to shoot

[Boris Chernikov]

any wunderwolf can be destroyed ... the deployment of the S-300 should take place under the cover of the Thors ... and the Torahs in a couple of places they only shone and separately from other air defense systems ... in other words, carelessness multiplied by poverty

And nothing that any weapon you need: A) be able to use. that is, to know when, how and where to use it, and 2) the weapon must be in working order, otherwise in the Donbass the militias somehow took several Ukrainian S-300s, which have all the electronic filling except for color-meth. ..

You can search my posts for those periods. I wrote that it is impossible to supply complexes to Syria, because it would damage their prestige, because Israel, as it bombed, will continue to bomb. And when they put it on, I wrote about the training manual, how now to justify the incessant bombing. They do not bomb the complexes, because they do not care about them, they want to bomb, they want, they save missiles

And where does the S-300? Israel works from outside the airspace of Syria, fuck on their planes - and you will be an aggressor, not only in the context of propaganda, but also in accordance with international laws, on the other hand, no one will stick with such complexes into your native sky.

Prestige is formed by other methods than the propaganda cries of incompetent mass media disinformation ...

I dare to ask, when was the last time you were "on a barbecue" with the Israeli Air Force command and over a glass of beer talked to the local generals from the aviation for how they choose ground targets? And yes - "arguments" like "logic dictates", "well, this is already clear" and "obvious fact" DO NOT work here ....

[Avior]

Israel works from outside Syrian airspace, fuck their planes - and you will be an aggressor, not only in the context of propaganda, but also in accordance with international law

there are no such laws.
This is not included in the concept of aggression.

[Albert1988]

Quote: Avior

Yah? A strike on an aircraft of another state in the skies of that very state is interpreted as an act of aggression, just as a strike on a ship of another state in its own or international waters.
That is why the Turks at first tried to excuse themselves that drying allegedly entered their airspace.

It's another matter how the opposite side will react to this - approximately equal states will try to resolve it without a strong conflict, although there may be clashes (Pakistan-India is a good example of that), Russia-USA - there is a threat of a vigorous war, so most likely to bring a clash at all will not be (as with the Amersky destroyer recently). Turkey decided only on what was close to them and far from us, and then ours later threw a response to them, bombing the Turkomans even more and, even later, filling up only according to official data 30 Turkish military in Idlib (according to unofficial 80, but on then they are unofficial).

What do we have in the case of Syria and Israel - on the side of Israel there is a clear preponderance in military potential, so that Syria in any case will refrain from any "dangerous" actions - there are simply no resources, and even more so against the background of the star being created there.

[Avior]

All cases of aggression are listed in the Convention on Aggression and UN General Assembly Resolutions.
Syria and Israel have been at war for a long time, so no action can fall under the definition of aggression
If an Israeli plane is attacked in Lebanese airspace, this is not included in the concept of aggression against Lebanon.

[Albert1988]

Quote: Avior

If an Israeli plane is attacked in Lebanese airspace, this is not included in the concept of aggression against Lebanon.

It is to this aspect that the second half of my commentary is devoted - while Israel is only Hezbollah in Syria is having a nightmare - it is more expensive for Syria to go into such a counter.

Nothing came to mind, another ordered article, with an obvious customer from the Czech Ministry of Defense, responsible for the procurement of equipment. It makes no sense to look for logic in such articles. Is it okay that Azerbaijan was also armed with Russian equipment?
As it is not heard the desire of Baku, to buy leopards and abrams, coupled with delirium and puma.

[A. Privalov]

Judging by the text, the Czech Republic is facing a very large-scale upgrade of a number of components of the Armed Forces. The thing is definitely necessary, but also very expensive. Oats are known to be expensive these days. The systems named in the article, desired to be acquired, will require not only material resources, but also a change in a number of concepts, I am not ashamed of this expression - philosophical views on the form and manner of conducting military operations. This will entail extensive retraining and training of personnel, which cannot be done in a short time. In a word, the Army of the Czech Republic, like the Israeli military-industrial complex, has something to do in the next five to six years. As an example:
.

In December 2019, both countries signed an agreement on the supply to the Czech Republic of radar installations used by the Iron Dome and David's Sling systems. The deal was worth $ 125 million.

In September 2020, the Israeli company RAFAEL won a multi-year tender for the supply of Czech air defense systems to replace the outdated Soviet Cube systems. The deal is estimated at about $ 430 million. Four batteries of the Spyder anti-aircraft missile system will be supplied under the contract.

[Fotoceva62]

The whole philosophy of the Czech Republic is to go over to the side of the strong in time and stand in front of him in a pose of "belated repentance" ... Limitrof, what else to say.

[zenion]

Not just in a pose, but in a pose, as in the days of Hitler. First, raise one hand, right, to a level just above the shoulder, and then both hands up to the maximum.

Yes, not just "expensive", but MONSTALLY expensive!

Let's not get too far ahead. With the right approach to business, the purchase of four SPYDER batteries under the G2G agreement in the amount of $ 428 million is quite within the forces of the Czech military budget. In the kit, each installation will cost them $ 50 million, and the rest will go to rockets (the latest Python-5s go for 220 green) and training of personnel - technicians and operators.
Deliveries of the systems will begin in 2023 and will last for about two years. Accordingly, the expenditures from the military budget will be stretched over time. An important part of the agreement was the participation of Czech industry. Prague wants to transfer something to Czech companies. The truck system will use the locally produced Tatra 815-7 8 × 8 chassis. Other elements, probably, will also be purchased from local sources - this is the integration of communications, data transmission channels, etc. Well, what will happen next - we'll see.

The article is aimed at the economic justification for purchasing air defense systems from Israeli Jews and at the same time reducing and updating their tank fleet ...
In service with the Czech Republic, taking into account the 120 T-72s stored in the warehouse and approx. 350 BMPs (Soviet and self-made on their basis) ...
The structure of the Czech Army resembles the structure of the Hungarian Army, where German tanks and self-propelled guns were recently purchased ...
For NATO, the allocation of one MBR from Hungary and the Czech Republic will be quite enough.
Tanks and self-propelled guns will be purchased from the Germans ...
In service with the Czech Army, there are already wheeled infantry fighting vehicles (102 units) of Austro-Czech production ...

[carstorm 11]

Lord ... what nonsense ... what does the tank school have to do with it?) Aviation and art. generally do not care what kind of armored vehicles they have goals. From leopards or abrashek covered with a tornado, only burned-out hulls will remain exactly the same kaa and from 72

[voyaka uh]

That is, if this huge Tornado is not ditched earlier by a small rocket
from a small drone. Right into the fighting compartment.
This is what we saw in Karabakh.

[lelik613]

One thing for sure is that drones have won their place among weapons for a long period, like machine guns, hails and RPGs.

[carstorm 11]

If this drone is not knocked down by military air defense) or the control point is not hidden), then this is not about that)))

[voyaka uh]

The existing military air defense itself runs away and hides from drones,

What we also saw in Karabakh. Moreover, the most modern
military air defense.
First, you need to change the military air defense.

[carstorm 11]

And why then do the Czechs need yours?) Also what would they run away and abandon the battlefield?))) Judging by your words, it can't do anything either)

[voyaka uh]

Israeli close air defenses are now feverishly reworking
to counter drones. Problem: cost-effectiveness ratio.
There are rockets confidently hitting drones, but they are too expensive
for mass use. We need other means.
Czechs have nothing, so even poorly adapted to drones
Israeli air defense is a luxury for them.

[voyaka uh]

"stacks these drones in batches" ////
----
THESE drones have never attacked the base. Turks do not risk aggravating
relations with Russia and do not transfer their drones to militants.
Drones of this class see targets and attack from a distance of several
kilometers. And the radars of the Shell cannot at such a distance
aim their missiles at them.

And in batches they are bringing down drones with Ali-Express with adhesive tape attached to them
mines.

You just do not tell the calculations of shells and the developers that they "cannot" there, because I do not want anyone to look funny.
And then - an air defense system for that and a system that there are many complexes and different ones, there are shells, and tori, and beeches (I'm not only talking about Khmeimim), and the S-300, S-400, and all this into a single system tied, transfers data to each other about what he sees, etc. etc.
But buying a pair of shells, sticking them in the middle of a clear field at a distance of 5 times the range of their operation is NOT an air defense system ...
Look - the Saudis "patriots" could not intercept the antediluvian Elbrus, because the hands are growing from the wrong place and the brains are located in the musculus gloteos area.

They are fighting there far from fronts, they are fighting in Syria rather "hotbeds", so just such places of concentration of air defense can be afford, albeit not in such a volume - cruise missiles and "setles" still do not shoot down, but put several shells and the tori so that they cover each other, while blocking an important area, is quite within their power.
Moreover - no one canceled the readiness of this very air defense - if the crew is asleep, or went to prayer, then the hope is only for promising shells with artificial intelligence ...

For example, from a technical point of view, the Saudis have very little air defense, and the Soviet Elbruses, ancient as caprolite, could not intercept. Then amerskie specialists arrived and everything was fine. Also in Syria - at first the Turks burned everyone, they even got the air defense, then ours started organizing the local air defense - and everything suddenly became good ...

And art has worked there, works and will work - no air defense will save from it ...

Py. Sy - videos for February 29 and March XNUMX are identical, moreover, there is no indication that they are working with a drone, so modern art can be beaten, by the way, it is much more terrible in this regard, and in the same Karabakh, "ordinary" Russian tornadoes inflicted much more damage to the enemy than the same bayraktars.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Did you shoot the video? the March 3 video shows MAM-L strikes.
News from March 2

From the province of Hama, reports have come that Turkish strike drones are already active in the airspace of this part of Syria. According to the latest data, UAVs of the Turkish armed forces attacked the positions of the SAA at the local airfield. According to some reports, the anti-aircraft installations used to protect the facility are damaged.

If they cleared the air so well, could they really not defend their airfield? And it was the UAV that delivered the strikes.
The fact that starting from March 3-4, the UAV activity decreased, I agree, the only reason was the principled agreement on a ceasefire, which officially began on the night of March 4-5, and not the fabulous air defense.

Have come up with a fairy tale and believe in it. In reality, 4 UAVs fell (there is no evidence that their ground air defense was shot down), the Turks in response shot down the Su-24 and L-39. True, more than 50 tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and the Syrian MLRS were destroyed, but who counts this "trifle". The main thing 2 Anki and 2 Bayraktar fell, they called this great "cleansing" of the sky of Idlib and rejoice.

And who just wrote that no?

Quote: OgnennyiKotik

Well, prove how many storytellers you are here.

Fairy tale, so far there is only one - "about the invulnerable bayraktar", which is actively promoted by two parties - the Turks, they, of course, sell this bayraktar, so they advertise it as much as possible (in the same Karabakh, drones inflicted an order of magnitude less damage than art and MLRS, but they were promoting them), and the "self-stylednonezalezhnevtsy" who bought these same bayraktras due to the virtual complete loss of conventional military aviation, now tell everyone how cool it is.

Quote: OgnennyiKotik

Lies, the fighting practically stopped, there were only isolated battles and strikes.

Oha, he doesn't hawta something, oh yes, you write another caps - and so: LIES, it will be so good)
But in essence, why would it suddenly stop on such a triumphant note? The Turks went on the offensive with their bearded friends, the SAA was downright naughty with invulnerable bayraktar! And here on those! No, there is, of course, the assumption that from the fact that in some magical way from 30 to 80 professional Turkish military in that area went to another world by violent methods in an extremely short period of time and there was every reason to fear that this was not the limit.
But still? Probably from the fact that the offensive was choking - and the Syrian air defense finally woke up and the beginning of the apparatus to land actively, and the response began to arrive, including directly at the Turks?

And yes - there is nothing fabulous in air defense, any modern air defense system (excluding, perhaps, MANPADS) will be good at grounding drones, which, in fact, are created with an eye to the fact that the enemy will shoot them down, only the pilot will not die, and the material part much cheaper than in a manned vehicle.

[Albert1988]

Quote: voyaka uh

That is, if this huge Tornado is not ditched earlier by a small rocket
from a small drone. Right into the fighting compartment.
This is what we saw in Karabakh.

And so that he does not ditch, there must be a well-built air defense system, and not randomly stuck here and there separate installations, and absolutely without understanding their tasks and capabilities ...

[Konnick]

The author forgot to mention another type of UAV, a distraction. To identify enemy air defense systems and destroy the ammunition of expensive anti-aircraft missiles, An-2 aircraft were used in an unmanned version. According to the specified data, 16 maize workers were mistaken for various types of combat aircraft and, accordingly, shot down. Here is a new method of warfare that has never been used before. In the Azerbaijani or Turkish army, there were clever heads who have these not only for wearing hats.

[bobwings]

Considering that An 2 was purchased long before the war, and close cooperation with the Turks began in the last year (the same Bayraktars were purchased in the summer of 20), then it was Azerbaijani heads. That, given my personal close acquaintance with many representatives of this people, is not at all surprising.

[iouris]

It's kind of ... racism.

[Jacket in stock]

Quote: Konnick

Here is a new way of warfare that has never been used before.

Well, bum, the use of false targets began long before Karabakh, and even before the advent of radars, in the century of some sort ... before the birth of Christ.
It's just that the Azeri / Turks had the cheapest, which was not a pity for slaughter, were the same dilapidated maize.

[voyaka uh]

These corn workers have gone through a very difficult conversion into drones.
Not "turned out", but ahead of time were upgraded and tested.
This indicates a high level of preparation of Azerbaijan for the war.

[OgnennyiKotik]

Quote: voyaka uh

This indicates a high level of preparation of Azerbaijan for the war.

Armenia lost four of the six Russian-made Tor-M2KM anti-aircraft missile systems (the most modern models) deployed in Karabakh in the first 15 days of the war, and half of the entire NKR air defense was destroyed in 15 minutes on September 27.

This was stated by the former secretary of the Security Council of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Samvel Babayan.
According to him, after the destruction of the "Thors", four more complexes were sent to the combat zone.

Of the six Buk air defense systems, only one was in working order. In the first minutes of the war, units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces destroyed 10 Osa air defense systems and one S-300 air defense system.

Quote:
"There was no weapon. The air defense was at zero. There were 6 TORs, of which 4 were destroyed in the first 15 days. Then they sent 4 more, which can provide a maximum of 45 km. Of the 6 BUK-5 units were inoperative, a repair team was waiting from Moscow to to be used by the 10th. "

[rotmistr60]

As a result of the war in Karabakh, an analysis of military operations with its own conclusions began in almost all countries. Many rushed to buy UAVs, believing that this is a panacea for a possible defeat and inflicting a "mighty" strike on the enemy's b / t. Someone correctly believes that the army simply needs to be equipped with new types of weapons, train personnel and specialists well. Well, the Czechs naturally criticized the Russian (Soviet) armored vehicles without thinking that the vehicles are controlled by people and the outcome of the battle largely depends on their skills. And if you do not engage in the army for many years, resting on old laurels (Armenia), then the result of the war will be predictable. Can they specifically explain the better NATO tanks of modern Russian tanks?

[voyaka uh]

"Russian (Soviet) armored vehicles without thinking that the vehicles are controlled by people and the outcome of the battle largely depends on their skills" ////
----
No tank crew skills (neither Russian nor Israeli)
save from drone attacks.
Or the tank will automatically save itself with the help of the KAZ. So far no one
not implemented.
Or you need to destroy the drones before using armored vehicles.
War in Karabakh raised issues that no army in the world has
no answers. Until.

[Boris Chernikov]

Well, so far "there is no answer in any army" our advisers, like the Syrians, taught how to shoot down these drones in Syria near Idlib

[voyaka uh]

It's just that the air defense systems operated from outside Idlib.
And under agreements with Russia, Turkish drones are allowed to fight
just over Idlib. A manned Turkish aircraft is prohibited.
If Turkish drones began hunting for military air defense in neighboring provinces,
would be the same Karabakh.

[Salty]

Quote: voyaka uh

If Turkish drones began hunting for military air defense in neighboring provinces, ...

... then, starting with the second, they would not have reached Idlib. IMHO, yes.

[Boris Chernikov]

1) what should they do in the neighboring provinces, 2) an interesting situation "they were allowed to fight only in Idlib" and that is why they were shot down there, that the Turks eventually curtailed their use, but if they launched them into other provinces where it is forbidden to fly , then they would be crazy .. your logic is strange .. would it be different? when used in other places, everything would depend on the presence of air defense - if the air defense would have been immediately, they would have started to shoot them down, if not, then they would have pulled up and similarly would start to drop to the ground

[OgnennyiKotik]

Quote: Boris Chernikov

that the Turks ended up curtailing their use

Lying. From the first to the last day of the conflict with Turkey's participation, they flew. They stopped inflicting massive strikes only after the signing of the ceasefire agreement. At the same time inflicting infernal losses on the Syrian troops.

[Boris Chernikov]

and what actually forced them to stop striking? and yes, if the losses were "hellish", then how did it happen that the Syrian troops, in fact, from the moment the drones were used, did not retreat to previously held positions, but pushed the militants even further ... and yes, apply They just stopped them after tangible losses and only after that agreed to negotiations, although before that there was only one condition - the CAA should return to its old positions ..

[OgnennyiKotik]

Quote: Boris Chernikov

what actually made them stop hitting?

A ceasefire agreement signed by Putin and Erdogan.

[Boris Chernikov]

is it in the style of Erdogan felt sorry for the Syrians? or he went to negotiations after the epic with the UAV ceased to be as beautiful as he wanted .. and about the "hellish" losses .. do not tell me why with the "hellish" losses, although what are they "hellish" when it comes to storming the fortified area, the Turks were unable to knock out the Syrians and they did not even make little progress?

[OgnennyiKotik]

Losses in the post below. What Putin gave for stopping the war and Serakib we will find out later. There is an option that Libya and / or Karabakh were part of the deal. We behaved very toothlessly there.
And so the Turks began to expand hostilities towards the end of the conflict, they began to bomb the airfields of the Syrians. In fact, the Syrian group near Idlib was ground up. Erdogan doesn't care about strangers or his losses, so he was given something else.

From the province of Hama, reports have come that Turkish strike drones are already active in the airspace of this part of Syria. According to the latest data, UAVs of the Turkish armed forces attacked the positions of the SAA at the local airfield. According to some reports, the anti-aircraft installations used to protect the facility are damaged.
With the help of long-range artillery, Turkish troops fired on the western suburbs of Aleppo. In particular, a blow was inflicted on the Al-Zahra quarter. And on the M5 highway, several units of Syrian government forces' armored vehicles were destroyed from the air.

The day before, two Turkish Air Force F-16 fighters shot down two Su-24 Syrian Air Force bombers.

1) these losses on the part of the militants are not accurate, because only those losses that were recorded on the ground in the video are considered "confirmed", not to mention the fact that the "main combat unit" of the militants in the end were technical personnel, which for some reason were not accounted for in losses .. and yes .. the Turks have repeatedly stated that they will not stop until the CAA returns to their old positions, but for some reason they eventually changed their minds and agreed in fact to give everything that the Syrians reached at that time and yes .. "the Syrian group "these are 10 tanks and 10 BMPs? Oh yeah .. but it's good if" the SAA group was ground and defeated, "and the UAVs" fought a super duper and crushed everyone, "then how did it happen that instead of intensifying the battles , to finish off the SAA grouping and knock them out at least to their old positions, the Turks began hysterically to hit the airfields and at all times rushed to negotiations? Do you know why? because the Turks drove a bunch of equipment and troops into Idlib and at that time they had very good a situation was drawn that the stream of coffins from the Turkish mi military from a thin stream will turn into a full-fledged river .. Actually, that's why they agreed to all conditions with patrols and a new demarcation line. and yes .. "4 uavs" are what fell on the territory of the CAA and what is documented, but no less uavs fell on the territory of the militants, by the way, they themselves posted photos and videos of the Turkish UAV, but then the militants were forbidden to post this without checking. ...

The Czechs made only one correct conclusion - the presence of air defense over the battlefield should be active and constant, and everything else in the article is simply banal Sovietophobia, because it is not the iron itself that wins, but those who control this iron, who maintains it. Western weapons systems are more complex than the former Soviet ones. They will not stand such a sloven attitude towards themselves, unlike the technology of the times of the USSR, simple and unpretentious, but proved to be effective in a huge number of wars and conflicts.

[Doccor18]

Most armored vehicles of Soviet origin have low (and decreasing) combat value on the modern battlefield

Really? After all, only 50 years have passed since the beginning of its design ...

.. considers CZDefence, pointing out that its modernization can only be considered a temporary solution ...

Serious edition does not suffer from a disorder of logic ..

[Doliva63]

Should Czechs evaluate the "philosophy of Soviet armored vehicles"?

[unhappy]

The analyst lives in a parallel universe, there was a developed Czechoslovakia - the Czech Republic remained essentially a limitrophe. Where will these dreamers find money for modern weapons systems, we are not talking about single samples, but about rearmament of the army, aviation and air defense!
It remains to wait for "gifts" from the sponsor, like boats for Ukraine))

[Fedorovich]

Does it mean "we should urgently buy at exorbitant prices rusty" Abrams "from the owners?

[oracul]

And long ago the Czech Republic became a specialist in military affairs. Better to brew beer. Apart from the dirty trick that the White Czechs arranged in Russia on their way home through Vladivostok, I don’t remember any success in the military field. Is that Jan Zizka in ancient times.

[pyagomail.com]

The last brave warrior among the Czechs was "the brave soldier Schweik". And so, of course, it would be interesting to know the opinion of the Papuans on this topic.

[MrFox]

Tesla Pardubice designed radars for the Soviet Air Force. Before the war, the level of technical development of the Czech Republic was higher than that of Germany.

So with military affairs in the Czech Republic everything is ok.

The philosophy of the Czechs to grovel continues. They celebrate 1968 every year and not once the German occupation.

[rocket757]

In short, they invented the wheel or discovered "America" ​​.... outdated equipment, it is necessary to replace it with a new one and equip the troops with new weapons and infrastructure to support the combat process.
In general, that's EVERYTHING.

[evgen1221]

Garbage and not an article, everything is in a heap with the promise that we are byaki again. In general, the war is slipping back into positioning, only now it is not art and tanks are driving but an UAV.

[Konnick]

The tandem self-propelled guns and UAVs completely replace the tank. The tank serves to break into the enemy's defense, but if the defense is equipped with anti-tank weapons, then the use of tanks threatens with heavy losses. Even if we turn to the history of the Second World War and recall the assault on the Seelow Heights, there the tanks collided with an unsuppressed anti-tank defense system on the opposite slopes of the heights. The use of air reconnaissance to determine the positions of the batteries was impossible due to low clouds, the use of ground attack aircraft for suppression from low altitudes simply threatened the destruction of attack aircraft with small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery, which saturates the defense lines. The use of artillery across the squares did not yield results. Overcast clouds prevented the use of bombardment from a height. This was the reason for the large losses of armored vehicles and personnel during the Berlin operation.
With regard to the defense lines in Karabakh, built on the principles of defense of previous wars, the use of subtle reconnaissance UAVs turned out to be possible from low altitudes, and even with the guidance of self-propelled guns at targets, not just artillery, namely self-propelled guns, which can very quickly change position, unlike towed artillery. From an economic point of view, using a bundle of reconnaissance UAVs and self-propelled guns is cheaper than a tank with all its KAZs, curtains and super-armor.

[Sling cutter]

Quote: Konnick

The tandem self-propelled guns and UAVs completely replace the tank.

I didn't understand anything, but it was interesting
Why should a UAV be linked to art at all? UAV is a barrage ammunition, it will deliver itself where necessary, and an operator with modern technologies can generally be on another continent. Tanks are generally a coffin for the crew and in fact a piece of expensive iron, which is two more less trained fighter will be burned in a couple of minutes.
Now guys, the wars will be completely different and in general we need to tie "L'Adieu aux armes" to wars.

[Konnick]

The primary task of the UAV is reconnaissance and guidance. Accordingly, the replacement of artillery reconnaissance and aircraft controllers, and of the adjustment of artillery fire or the guidance of drone UAVs.
And the replacement consists in the fact that without entering into visual contact, the stationary defense of the enemy, strong points and batteries, as well as air defense and anti-tank equipment with high accuracy and much more powerful than a tank, and sometimes much more accurate ammunition, are destroyed. Long arm tactics.

[MrFox]

The right approach. It remains to wait when it comes to the generals and will be reflected in the combat manuals

[Bobrick]

The tandem self-propelled guns and UAVs completely replace the tank

How's that? Or should the infantry not advance on enemy positions? Or do UAVs detect all 100% of the defending side's strike assets? Or have the self-propelled guns learned to hit all opponents in the trenches?
Will there be an advantage in the air over the battlefield (even the Soviet army had an incredible saturation of air defense, there were tens of thousands of Strela-2m alone)? Does the enemy have the ability to use electronic warfare to detect UAV control points and strike them with operational missiles? And there is a whole bunch of everything that a prepared and trained enemy can put up.

So here's a surprise from the Great Patriotic War - the launch frame is called.

Throw branches and send a signal at the right moment (for 2 seconds while it fires, nothing will work for either the ACS or the UAV, and we do not have Karabakh with bare hills), but with the price of modern electronic components such as arduino and servomotors Also, aiming is accurate (in the sense of any desired square) can be done using ordinary wires. And so something, but any BMP under artillery fire survives much worse than a tank.

In short, as UAVs were a means of fighting a technically weaker or less prepared enemy, they remained. If only because light UAVs will not live for a long time due to the low flight altitude, and large ones require full-fledged airfield maintenance, which will definitely be questionable if the enemy has an OTRK.

"too little" .. how much? 3,5 thousand air defense systems of various types .. can you tell who has enough of them then? Az-n won in fact at the expense of the wunderwafle in the face of the UAV, and the Armenians first bought rotten air defense systems, then squeezed to introduce more modern systems, which led to an increase in losses, because Pashinyan did not need victory from a word at all

Not true.
The following is known from open sources: First, UAVs are responsible for only 30% of the destroyed Armenian equipment. The Armenian Armed Forces, their equipment, strongpoints and combat assets were mostly knocked out by the artillery of the Az. Armed Forces, but of course UAVs were used for correction and not only them, as well as the Azerbaijani RDGs, which gave target designation, penetrated far into the rear of the Armenian Armed Forces. It was also important to use modern means of destruction, but at least the same modernized Czech self-propelled guns Dana (excellent rapid-fire and accurate weapons) and the Czech MLRS "Vampire", high-precision ammunition.
Secondly, the cities of Shusha and Hadrut took the mountain units, RDG and SPN of Azerbaijan without the help of the UAV. Thus, the main operations in Karabakh were carried out without the use of drones and even large-caliber armored vehicles and artillery. One can especially note the capture of the impregnable Shushi by the Azerbaijani special forces, carried out without the use of heavy weapons at all, using only portable small arms and knives. According to the first defense minister Samvel Babayan (secretary of the Security Council of Nagorno-Karabakh), Armenia did everything it could and sent to Karabakh everyone it could send, including. and almost all of the Armenian police, but it did not help them.

[Growlers]

The Czechs know how to make good quality equipment, so to speak, of "average European" quality, but excuse the warriors of them, and military theorists, like a bullet from a known substance

[zenion]

Of course, Soviet armored vehicles are outdated. Rubber cannot stand for long. Here I have had a bicycle for about ten years and it stood one summer in the sun. All the tires on the wheels are cracked. And then tanks made of rubber, waste galoshes, stood under the hot sun for 30 years. It's amazing that the tracks did not fall down. But the rubber will not disappear. You can put the tanks in the solution and make condoms out of them. I do not recommend sticking shells into the solution, in the same place, as an explosive, matches are used, which can ignite and cause a fire. The outer shell of the sleeve and so on is also made of rubber, only the damaging substance is made of nails, the heads of the nails are made of rubber. Such shells are used only in Africa. How did they get to Armenia, probably through pull?

That is, the Azerbaijani army was destroyed in three days, and then blows followed in depth and that's it. So Czechs need to sit quietly, like a mouse under a broom ...

True truth. It also makes sense for us to really think about it. They themselves are full of ancient Soviet rubbish.

[Lara Croft]

scouts should be purchased first, and then drones of other categories. At the same time, air defense should be strengthened, which should be equipped with C-UAS systems equipped with equipment for detecting, tracking (in various ranges) and destroying or jamming UAVs.

Completely agree with this thesis ...

Most armored vehicles of Soviet origin have low (and decreasing) combat value on the modern battlefield

Completely disagree with this thesis ...
The parties to the conflict in service were practically the same in their performance characteristics of VT, the whole point is in the military art of commanding the opposing sides and the method of using V and VT, l / s ...

The Czech army just needs new tanks that offer higher levels of protection, firepower and mobility.

Why would the Czech army need tanks? or even so - why do Czechs need an army at all? - at parades it is possible to show specially dressed and trained fagots! - it will cost less ...

And what is the difference between the "Black Panther" and the T-72 with the defeat in the upper projection. To develop and install KAZ capable of providing protection to the upper hemisphere.

For missiles from drones, all tanks in the world are outdated if they are not covered with a good air defense system and electronic warfare.

Currently, tanks are at exactly the same stage of backwardness as battleships at sea during the WWII period. The battleships suffered a crushing defeat in the competition with the bomber aircraft, and disappeared. The same is expected for tanks (slow armored vehicles, very expensive and visible on the battlefield), besides, they are filled with explosives and are very vulnerable from this. The future belongs to UAVs, which will be improved due to new microelectronics and artificial intelligence. Therefore, tanks will also disappear from the battlefield.
