In what cases the turret was torn off from tanks

For the entertainment of films about the war, directors often resort to demonstrating how, after an ammunition hits a tank, its tower literally flies off. The viewers are certainly attracted by such shots. Still ... As they say now, action is needed. At the same time, action of this nature is exploited mercilessly by the directors. If showing tank battle, then tank towers fly off "right and left."

But what is the real likelihood that the turret will be torn off when fired at a tank?

Of course, during the Great Patriotic War, the separation of the tower was not something incredible. However, here you need to understand the reasons.

In the overwhelming majority of cases, the separation of the tank turret did not follow immediately after the enemy's ammunition hit it, but after its own ammunition detonated. If the tankers did not leave the combat vehicle in a timely manner, then the consequences for them were sad. A huge pressure arose in the tank, looking for a way out.

The explosion of ammunition had such a force that often not only its turret flew off, but only a pile of twisted metal remained from the armored vehicle itself.

Details on when the turret was torn off from tanks are presented on the Panzergrenadier channel.

There are many documentaries of the first Chechen film, where a hit from an RPG led to fatal results, so the directors are not far from reality.

[The popuas]

In the bamut there was a skeleton from 72 ... the tower was 50 meters away,

Even in WOT, the tower is rarely ripped off.

Hello.

Eheh ..........
For a long time there was a steady fashion for reasoning that our tanks from AZ and MZ were flying off the towers, while the western ones did not.
Remember?
Remember.
After the towers of the Iraqi Abrashek and Turkish Leos began to fly off, talk about our machines instantly died down.
Remember?
Remember.
Kakby the spacer between the siduha and the scope also matters.
Hooray.
Got it.

Allow me AGAIN to report (I wrote on VO 5 years ago) how the opinion was formed in the 90s and 00s that "our tanks have towers flying off."
I draw a collective (!!!) picture, but real:
Tank company T-72B comes under massive RPG fire. Each of the 10 vehicles receives 2-4 grenades. 6 cars if only henna, 4 smoked. The crews jumped out with obscenities, dragging each other (therefore, the turret hatches were almost always open, and not because of any pressure there).
- Two vehicles had ammunition detonation and turrets tumbled.
- The other two cars stop smoking, and ... the crew starts them.
Moscow goats come rushing in ... ahem, the correspondents begin to take pictures of the towers of two rammed cars, squealing and twisting their legs with pleasure.
For 8 damaged, but combat-ready vehicles - full, aphid, zero !!!
Their response to this is: "WE NEED A RAISE !!! SHOCK !! SCANDAL !!!
Just start to clean their face, they answer:
- men, they will take our heads off without fried material and will not pay for a business trip ...

That's the whole calico.

..........
Yes, and a turret can be demolished by a decent caliber blank.
Do you think why "Hyacinth" is called "Genocide"?))
The tankers gave it that name.
Something like that.

[Aleks tv]

... That's the whole calico.

How to minimize the risk of detonation b / c in our tanks?
It all depends on the task at hand.
For example, if you are planning a small and not long voyage from LDPE, then:
- we only fill the internal tanks with a capacity of 705 liters. No external, let alone barrels.
- b / c only in AZ. No shells in the turret and no charges in the rack tank.
- if not in the city, the towers' hatches "slam", in case of a shell shock, you don't just get out - don't remember your name.
- explosives in "Contact" boxes.
Believe me, it is very difficult to finish off the AZ, except for the remote control on the rubber screen, you still need to demolish at least the SUPPORT roller, and this is very difficult. The T-72 has the largest rollers in the 64,72,80 family.
.........................................

Well, to the heap:
Walk, walk like that))
1. We put AZ in the "unloading" mode and call the FIRST shot on the line. We press "cancel" on the loading console and set "auto".
That is, the first shot is already in the vertical ascent to the loading line, and we do not waste precious time on the rotation of the conveyor. The rest of the shots go next without gaps, the rotation of the conveyor is one step, that is, the minimum.
2. The "drive" on the TPD-1K is always on in case of danger, that is, the gyroscope is already untwisted and it will save 2,5 minutes.
3. Towers sticking out in the hatches - situational awareness, it's like the infantry "on top" of the armor rolls. The gunner corrects the Cheburashka of the sight with his boot, the "drive" is turned on.

And in the case of the kipish, the Bashners dive inside already KNOWING where the bearded ones are.
While the gunner unlocks the mirror, pulls the VN unlocking worm and cuts in the "stable", the Commander presses the "horns" of the TKN-3 and the tower turns towards the friends of Russia.
The gunner does not need to look for ANYTHING, the target is in the sight. Presses the AZ and launches a quantum beam with the rangefinder ring.
While the central square is pointing at the target, the sight will be established and the AZ will work.
Shot.

From the moment an amateur is discovered to carry a "seven" on himself as an element of national clothing, until its molecular spread in the space of planet Earth will take place 6-7 seconds.
The second shot is 3 seconds.
The third shot - 3 seconds (AZ then scrolls only one cassette) and shoots WITHOUT resetting the rangefinder.
Minimization of actions that are done in parallel in the minimum time - this is what you need.
Even to the detriment of instructions.
Build a skill to automatism.

What do you think, will tear off the tower from such tankers?
Who will let them.
And even if your infantry is smart.

Everything depends on people.
Everything from people. From their experience, determination, motivation and ... SPIRIT.

Do you want to stay alive?
Stick in the hatch!
Destroying the enemy is not a problem.
But on TIME to detect it and correctly classify its danger is the main thing.
And the tower will remain on your tank, and the helmet on your head.

Frankly speaking, I did not understand what you wrote.
I meant that getting into AZ is difficult.
- If you hit the body, the screen with the remote sensing and the roller behind it interferes.
- If you hit a tower or a lure - do not forget that the AZ transporter is covered with a polic.
The main danger during detonation is from shells in the fighting compartment and charges in the rack tank.

We look at the cross section, taking into account that the upper part overlaps only a small part of the projection. If the grenade launcher is slightly higher than the tank, then the roller is deeply uninteresting to him.

Quote: Aleks tv

do not forget that the AZ conveyor is covered with a polykom.

1. As you can see in the diagram, there are quite enough angles where the polyk does not touch at all. And that's just strictly board.
2. There are a lot of other trajectories where the polyk will be at a very short distance from the punched side.
3. The armor penetration margin of modern b / m grenades after penetration will remain very impressive.

[Aleks tv]

... Those. 1. If you have to take active steps, you will not be able to cut the ammunition load.

Yes.
And if the Order is vague, like "to provide cover for someone who is not clear and where it is not clear for how long."
Overstocked
Yes, you do.

... If the enemy is doing well with remote defeat, you will have to forget about external fuel tanks.

They go into battle only on internal banks.
Outside - for moving, marching.
Although on the go, deployment is allowed with them. There are not often troubles from an external tank, the main thing is to cut off the supply.
Barrels are a transportable stock.

... If the grenade launcher is slightly higher than the tank, then the roller is deeply uninteresting to him.

Get into AZ through the building?
Don't get caught. Unrealistic.
If there is an opportunity to approach the tank, try to imagine it.
This is not a shooting gallery.
Yes, of course there should be a DZ.
This is not always possible, unfortunately ...

... But the reserve of armor penetration of a b / m modern grenade will remain very impressive, and the distance is small

Through the tower and lured?
And then overcome another polyk in the fighting compartment?
Unreal.
The grenades are cumulative, even the tandem will fight to FLOW into the tower.
After that, go through the free space and ... overcome the obstacle again?
With what. There is no longer any cumulative effect.
Whether the crew will survive if the tower is broken is questionable, but there is no way to overcome the polic.

If the warhead is changed to a different principle, and not cumulative, everything will be different there.

We look at the diagram. The gap between the tower and the somewhat wider part of the rink is quite epic. Slightly from above it will be even more extensive.

"The cumulative jet, having pierced the stern sheet, also pierced the lower part of the engine crankcase and" stalled "at the partition in the fighting compartment."
We look at the same diagram for how much it is, and the engine is not air.
The difference between the stern sheet and the side, especially the roof, is not so fundamental, especially if a slightly more modern grenade is used.
Polik will not protect from anything, alas.

[Aleks tv]

... We look at the diagram. The gap between the tower and the somewhat wider part of the rink is quite epic.

Yes, we are looking at the diagram.
The housing is accessible from the top of the road roller.
1. DZ blocks on the screen should be.
2. The cartridge with the shot is almost completely covered by the roller.
With the destruction of the side screen from the remote control and the destruction of the open hull, the cumulative jet will go along the legs of the towers (above the floor of the AZ conveyor).
Beat a little from above?
Spare parts boxes on the left, top tank on the right. This destroys the jet.

Only from a very comfortable position, slightly from above, with the complete destruction of the screen, bypassing the supporting roller and psaltery ...
Those. luck and luck, too many ifs.

... Polik will not protect from anything, alas.

Okay, let's do it differently:
Can you find cases of ammunition destruction in the AZ T-72 transporter?
Precisely the PRIMARY defeat, not the consequence?

I admit that this is possible.
With a DB, and not such tales are.
Then we will discuss.
Good?

2. The cartridge with the shot is almost completely covered by the roller.

1. Look at the diagram above, the AZ "ends" above the highest point of the roller and much higher than the junction between the bottom sheet and the bead. Those. even if you shoot strictly from the level of the conveyor, the hole there is big.

2. At the same time, shooting exactly at the level of the conveyor is just a problem. Specifically, you need from a height of 60-70 centimeters, it's not even from the knee. So it will almost always be a little on top, with minimal effort / prerequisites - noticeably from above.

3. A direct hit, in principle, is not necessary, the secondary fragments have not been canceled either.

Quote: Aleks tv

Both are thin-walled. For comparison, "Abrasha" has a multilayer screen of 70 mm ... but no one promised anything. See also the engine pierced by a conventional RPG grenade behind the stern sheet above.
The equivalent of an engine versus a COP is usually considered something of the order of 300 mm.

Those. all tracked-zip tricks can somehow work against old grenades, against something more serious with armor penetration of 650 millimeters or two engines is extremely unlikely.

Hello, Sergey.
You need to look at the top projection of the tower, maybe it flew there.
And according to the description - the detonation of a full bc. She can be from anything, even from negligence, even because of marriage.
How many cases were there during exercises and staffs ...

In order for something to fly off the "Abrams", it is necessary to "jam" the doors of the tower niche from the big mind. But here the BC should arrive at the moment the doors open and it should instantly flare up.

= - Two vehicles had ammunition detonation and turrets tumbled. =
With the hatches open? How then did the pressure arise that could throw off the tower? This is both technically impossible and is not clearly confirmed - in the Syrian videos, in such cases, torches from the hatches and that's it.

You know, no two explosions are the same.

When the explosive wave detonates, it doesn't matter what the hatches are, whether they are open or closed.

With a high probability, I will assume that they beat me from behind and ended up in the tank-rack with CHARGES. He's behind the towers.
This is a game for us, the Russians, to stuff a bunch of gunpowder in cardboard into the fuel tank.

There are no identical explosions, there are no.
This is me about the detonation of shells.

On the whole, I agree with both of these quotes.
Conclusion?
In order to minimize the risk of detonation with the separation of the tower, it is necessary, AT THIS POSSIBILITY, to remove the shells from the combat division and the charges from the storage tank.
Is it logical


BC in AZ is protected as much as possible.

Well, with hatches ... your video showed that it is better to be open))
Although this is certainly not a dogma. In some cases, only closed ones, for example, in a city.
Hatches - a lot of controversy.
I do not insist here, this is my subjective opinion.

I wonder where they managed to see both KV-2s in battle, because almost all of these machines were lost in the first 2 months. and only a few of them were able to take part in the battle.
And the KV-2 tore off the towers for a completely different reason - it had 152mm concrete-piercing shells with a low speed, which broke through and did not explode. There are comments from eyewitnesses who say that the projectile could pass 2 cars and get stuck in the third. But for a tiger, most likely, such a projectile will no longer be able to remove the turret - it is much heavier than on light tanks.

From the KV Tank Service Manual:

The howitzer has two types of shells:
1. Concrete-piercing machine, weighing 40 kg, with a KTD bottom fuse.
2. Armor-piercing, weighing 51 kg (sea grenade), with a KTD bottom fuse.
........
According to the two types of projectiles, there are two types of charges (casings): for concrete breaker projectile with an initial velocity 530 m / s and for armor-piercing projectile with an initial velocity 436 m / s.

[yehat2]

in fact, the Red Army tanks had a strong shortage of armor-piercing shells
it even reached the point of absurdity - in a counterattack against tanks with 30mm armor were BTs with 45s,
which, apart from high-explosive shells, which can only frighten, had nothing.
T-43s experienced the same problem until the age of 34.
and KV-2 collided with the same - almost all vehicles in June had only 1 type of shells.

And this is the detonation of ammunition. There in the films "Das Detche wochenshaw"
at the T-34-76, the tower was unsecured 15 meters upwards. Like me
it hurt to watch. And only about "Naked Ferdinand" (FG -4 -

ignition of aviation gasoline in the fighting compartment.

Well, knockout panels aren't a panacea either! Firstly, as some articles claim, there were cases when the panels did not "work"!

= Well, knockout panels are not a panacea either! =
In the photo, "Abrams" in a pit from a land mine, as it is easy to see. Panels really won't help here.
The Leo does not have an isolated BC and there are no panels.

= Firstly, as some articles claim, there were cases when the panels did not "work"! =
With links to this photo, I guess?

= Secondly, only a part of the shells were placed in the ammunition stowage in the "stern" of the turret with knockout panels ... if the cumulative jet undermined the ammunition rack in the sealed compartment, then.

What was happening? Did the crew find out what they got when they opened the compartment? Why do you think it is sealed, do not tell me?

Probably depending on where and at what angle the rocket hits.
It so happened that when hit even from the "LR" spike (light version of the spike), the T-72 turret was torn off so that they found it at a decent distance from the tank.

Sometimes the tower remains in place when hit from the same missile.

Sometimes the tower remains in place when hit from the same missile.

To detach the tower, in addition to hitting the BC, the pressure must also be STRONGLY excessive. That is, closed hatches.

After being hit, the tower did not always take off into the air.
Here PzKpfw VI Tiger Ausf. E from 424th Heavy Tank Battalion (formerly 501st Heavy Tank Battalion)

The tank was hit on January 16, 1945 at about 21:00 on Aleja Najświętszej Marii Panny Street in Czestochowa. One of the T34 crews of the 3rd Tank Battalion of the 54th Guards Armored Brigade of the 7th Guards Armored Corps as part of the 3rd Tank Army of the 1st Ukrainian Front fired an accurate shot from the rear at the base of the tower.

"Panthers" with torn off towers, which in this video are 1943 after the battles on the Kursk Bulge.
In the "Front illustration", as far as I remember, these photos were signed that the Soviet military was studying the wrecked "Panthers" that had been blown up explosive charges - for the possibility of undermining the tank by the crew themselves, in case of the threat of capture by the enemy) by Hitler's sappers (by the way, the Americans did the same with the Iraqi "seventy-two", putting additional explosives in the tanks left by the escaped Iraqi "warriors" and undermining them to get spectacular photos "Soviet tanks with flying off towers" for the rabid anti-Soviet propaganda of the Washington "Goebbels" and, on the antithesis, advertising the "invulnerability and power" of American military equipment - I well remember that self-deprecatingly supported by the Gorbachev-Yeltsinites, hysteria with biting our Soviet weapons on "(post ) perestroika "TV and in the press!) when retreating. Therefore, their towers are out of place!
About crazy "Panther" and "Tiger", photographed in France, I can not say anything - maybe their towers and flew off during the battle ?!
And often used (in Soviet and foreign documentary and feature films about the war) shots of German black-and-white newsreels, where, after a cannon shot at the attacking "thirty-four", a column of fire and black smoke rises from the body of our tank almost instantly, and, ahead of it , vertically up (50 meters!) flies well recognizable (but not by Soviet and Russian filmmakers and their "military consultants", submitting these "picturesque" shots to illustrate the destruction of the alleged "Hitler's tank"! ) a tumbling tower, from the inside of which, against the background of a gray sky, the broken black body of an unknown Soviet tanker falls sideways, I always remember and I just can't get used to them all my long life - every time my heart bleeds ...

If we take the Great Patriotic War? Until the moment the gunpowder was supplied from America, 76mm turrets flew away at once on old Soviet shells!
I remember the site to boot!
Those who fought remember everything clearly!
After switching to 85mm and amers' gunpowder? The towers stopped flying away a priori!
The tanks just burned out!
With regards to the flying off towers of Soviet military tanks and the type that do not have this Abrams!
The Warams simply do not have land mines in the ammunition rack!
And of course the boroban MZ or AZ.
Although the gunpowder will not rip off the tower! And the land mine that flew off, and yes!

[Alarmist79]

= The Warams just don't have land mines in the ammo rack! =
The cumulative fragmentation "Abrams" - 1,95 kg of explosives, the domestic 125 mm is one and a half times more, however.

= Although gunpowder won't blow the tower off! =
The ammunition load of the T-72 can contain from a minimum of 195 to 390 kg of gunpowder, 2-4 centners rounded.

I advise the creators of this film to read the article in the "Modelist-Konstruktor" magazine, issue 11 for 1984 about the KV-2 tank, and study the history in more detail before releasing such films)). It describes in detail how a shell fired from a KV-2 tore off a turret from German tanks, especially when 2mm shells were used on the KV-152))) http://hobbyport.ru/armor/kv_2.htm
