"Polish tanks are hopelessly outdated": the expert compared the tank power of Poland and Russia

99

As you know, Poland is one of the militarily strongest countries in Eastern Europe. In fact, this is almost the only NATO member country in the region that has at least some kind of military potential. Since there is no need to rely militarily on the Baltic republics or small countries such as the Czech Republic or Slovakia, Poland is viewed by the United States and NATO as the most important military partner in the eastern direction.

There is every reason for this: for example, the total number of the armed forces of Poland is 144 thousand people, while the number of the armed forces of Romania is 64 thousand people, Bulgaria - 25 thousand people, the Czech Republic - 26 thousand people, Slovakia - 18,5 thousand people. . human. That is, Poland alone can deploy more soldiers than Romania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia combined.



Also Poland is one of the European leaders in the number of tanksin service with the ground forces. And this is a very important point, according to Polish military experts. If we talk about a war with the use of conventional weapons, then NATO is very afraid of a decisive and rapid throw of Russian tanks into Europe. The armies of the Baltic republics and the small parts of NATO troops stationed there, replenished through the rotation of military from different countries, will simply not be able to stop the advance of the tank columns of the Russian army, so all hopes are on Poland.

The tank forces of Poland's ground forces are largely based on the legacy of the socialist period, when the country was part of the Warsaw Pact Organization.

The most numerous tank in service with the Polish army is the Soviet-made T-72M1. The Polish ground forces have 350 of these machines, another 200 are in storage. According to the author of The National Interest Charlie Gao, these tanks provide a basic level of combat capability, but they are hopelessly outdated compared to any tanks that Russia may put against Poland. The T-72M1 armor, as the expert notes, can be penetrated by almost any modern anti-tank ammunition, with the exception, perhaps, of light RPGs.

The PT-91 Twardy is the next largest tank in the Polish army. The ground forces are armed with 233 tanks. This is a Polish-made tank, which is actually a modification of the T-72, only significantly modernized. In particular, it is equipped with a DEUGRA fire extinguishing system, ERAWA-1 and 2 ERA armor packages. Thanks to the armor packages, the Polish tank has more survivability than the classic T-72. It will not be able to hit Russian-made light and medium ATGMs and most Russian RPGs, but for modern Russian tanks the RT-91 is an easy target.


Finally, Poland has a significant fleet of Leopard 2 tanks: 142 Leopard 2A4 and 105 Leopard 2A5, which were purchased from Germany. Now in service with the Polish ground forces - 142 "Leopard". The Polish military department is currently engaged in the modernization of the German Leopards in service with the ground forces. In particular, it is planned to install Polish thermal imagers and domestic electricians. It is expected that modernization measures will keep the Leopards in service for another thirty years.

According to Charlie Gao, comparing the tank power of Poland and Russia, "Leopards" are the only tanks of the Polish army, which at a stretch can try to resist modern Russian tanks. As for the RT-91, they can be used on the second line. That is, the Polish army can only rely on the German "Leopards".

However, the question arises about the quantitative balance of forces of the parties. It is no coincidence that Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of Poland, focuses on the need to increase the number of tanks at the disposal of the armed forces of the countries - members of the North Atlantic Alliance.

      If the Poles put a "windbreaker" on the Leopard KAZ and change the control system, the T-90 cannot be compared with it. And the high saturation of Poland with spikes makes the dream of a tank attack on Warsaw impossible.

        April 9 2021 21: 12
        Spikes are cool, of course, but let's not forget that the whole army is advancing. Not lonely wedges of tanks, like migratory birds, sweep at full speed through the fields in order to settle for the winter somewhere at a predetermined point.
        Artillery, aviation, including drones, snipers, infantry, finally, all of this does not contribute to the well-being and physical health of the spike operators.
        Well, about the modernization of Leopard, I am a layman in the performance characteristics, I will not undertake to dispute, but with the same success I can say "If we burn down a thousand T-14, then even if they modernize at least 2 times a year, we will still overcome them."

          Well, with aviation, it's not so simple either. The Poles have 48 F-16s of Block 52 and Patriot PAC-3. F-35 and David's Sling have already been ordered. So flying over Poland will not be as easy as it seems. And in general, I do not remember when in history anyone defeated the Poles alone.

            No one won the Poles alone, not because they are 1 on 1 stronger, but because whenever it was clear that Poland would butt with an opponent not in its weight category and obviously lose, neighbors flew in to snatch territories, or at least rob.
            Regarding fighters and Patriots, no one said that Poland was weak, and even more so that it would be easy to fly over Poland. I think the situation will be equal - our aviation is intended more for defense, where stealth is not really needed, in the offensive it will yield to unnoticed American aircraft. But, at the same time, our air defense is traditionally stronger, so Poland does not have to hope for air supremacy and the suppression of our art by aviation.
            But again, the most important thing is that we will not step on the same rake a second time. You will not be cute forcibly, we do not need territories with a population opposed to us. Well, about how Russians and Poles historically love each other, only the love of Russians with Turks can be compared. So no, the Russian Federation is not the USSR, we have no motives in principle to make at least a millimeter of Poland. Moreover, if there is a conflict with Ukraine, we will most likely try to shove its western part away from Poland.

      The height of the tank is 2.43. Comparison with the person in the frame is perspective, he is closer to the camera.

        The side protection is not impressive at all. There was not enough zloty for the new L55 cannon and the remote anti-aircraft machine gun mount. There is no talk about KAZ and KOEP. Just as they did not master the removal of the gunner's sight to the roof (like A5 / 6/7): the hole in the turret defense is much more significant than the notorious "gaps" between the dynamic protection of the T-72B3. It resembles an analogue of the early T-72B3 (arr 11) in Polish. Massive and cheap. Only here the price is like 4-5 pieces. T-72B3 (the last prices were announced about 90 million rubles). In addition, 142 Leopard 2A4PLs against 1500-1600 T-72B3s do not look convincing.
        We must admit the German "businessmen" beautifully lit Polish goyim. Instead of selling full-fledged modern combat vehicles, they first sold them cheaply the ancient Leopard 2A4 from storage, and then sold an expensive upgrade package to the Leopard 2A4PL level so that the ancient 2A4 looked a little less ancient 2A4 at the price of almost new 2A7.

          Firstly, Hitler had warheads, they were used on the V-1 and V-2. And, in order not to lead you into the temptation to kill me with laughter, let me remind you that you wrote about conventional, non-nuclear warheads

          Secondly, warheads here are a deeply secondary matter, the question is that you claim that Europe is completely weakened and will not fight if you demonstrate decisiveness and strength to it. And I reminded you that Hitler thought so. But even if we narrow down the meaning of the statement to the warheads, I remind you that Hitler just saw Fau as a way to lead England out of the war by terror.

            From your side, the comparison is at least incorrect. From a military-technical point of view, from a political point of view. To do this, you must at least imagine what a warhead is and what a flying projectile stuffed with TNT is and sent to whom God will send. And the difference is in the bombing of residential areas and the destruction of military infrastructure. Is not it? I am not suggesting, for example, how Academician Sakharov destroy the entire coast of the United States with one torpedo.

                    Well, that is a given. You will not deny the persistence and impudence of the Britons. True, this only applies to the RAF and HMS, the groundmen screwed up to the fullest, on the turned up woods and logs, raking out across the English Channel. And for that time and those theaters of theater, it was the armor and infantry that decided how Europe would look in the next 30-50 years. If the Fuehrer had crossed the canal, he would get the hell out of the gadyushnik. To sacrifice 43 million, of course, would not have mastered the non-human Himmler, but he would have thinned out sirs and peers pretty well.

                      The landowners did not screw up anything there. They fought as best they could, even tried to attack, albeit rather stupidly. When it became clear that the front had collapsed and there was no hope for the French, they held back the Germans at the bridgehead near Dunkirk, thereby ensuring the evacuation of the overwhelming part of their forces.
                      Yes, the British did not know how to fight on land, like the Germans, well, then no one knew how. And they evacuated absolutely correctly, because the British Expeditionary Force alone could not do anything there. The bottom line is that even having practically lost the armament of the army, the British continued to use the small remaining ground forces against the Germans - in Africa and Greece.

                        So after all, it's all about the result, and at the time of full pants, it is very negative. In other matters, how it happened, it happened. The story went its own way, the pants dried out. We, too, had everything in one place until the age of 43, and occasionally after. It is surprising why such hefty warriors - the Germans all the time they rake them, in the end.

    The backbone of the Russian tank forces is made up of the same modernized T-72.
    There are not many T-90s with improved protection. There are still no full-fledged KAZ vehicles.
    So, Russia has a significant quantitative advantage in tanks and
    small quality.
    We must not forget that the Poles, in order to compensate for the lack of tanks, purchased
    many of the most modern ATGMs.

        The T-90 has enhanced frontal armor compared to the T-72.
        The Leo-2 still has a bad stowage of projectiles in the front
        parts of the tank turret. Which led to the loss of two tanks during the Turkish invasion
        troops into Kurdish territories in northern Syria. Turkish engineers
        are now seriously reworking their Leopards after that fiasco.

        The T-90 is good at daytime shooting, the Leo-2 is better at night.
        Neither one nor the other has KAZ. recourse

    Well, let's look a little more optimistic.
    T-72 - cannon 125 mm 2A46
    PT-91 - the same but M (modified)
    Leopard 2 - 120 mm Rheinmetall Rh-120 cannon

    Nothing particularly noteworthy, however, it will do for tasks of a defensive-deterrent nature. Defensive battles imply a greater initiative of enemy tanks, which, in the case of a well-built defense, will help to reduce the distances of a real battle. And in the case of such reductions in distances - 120-125mm guns equipped with modern NATO shells can work out quite well for themselves. That will undoubtedly make restraining adjustments in the use of our tanks, which, in turn, is required from Poland in general. It's not 1939 - Poland is in a huge bloc with overwhelming superiority in the air and at sea, there is absolutely no reason for her to build some kind of defensive structures in which she defends herself and then inflicts some kind of counter-strikes on her own. In any Russia-NATO conflict, time will play against Russia, and all this Poland, the Baltic states, is for the most part a "viscous defense", the task of which is to tie up, slow down, cause some kind of damage until the flywheel of the allied logistics is unrolled. For these tasks, Polish tanks are more than enough - on the defensive. Now, if we were considering an option in which Polish tanks become part of the offensive army, then yes, it would be Fiasco.

The main thing is to overcome the fear of society, the fear of losses in the first period of active action, further whose social way of life is less refined and that won ... worse than that, all sorts of nvf with a high motivation for actions (with external funding, of course) lead very successful actions

        Our society is about as loose as the European one in this regard now.
        I can not say that the "majority" but the figure tends to it. Life values ​​have long been skewed towards the material component, propaganda has been squeezing out the maximum for many years now, and I would not say that society will now enthusiastically accept the participation of our country in some kind of conflict - excluding ultra-patriots who are now in a clear minority. IMHO, our society is tacitly disappointed by decades of endless talk about moving somewhere, behind which there is a gradual departure from social obligations - this inevitably translates into a kind of apathetic pragmatism of thinking. In words, yes - people will stick stickers in the style of "We can repeat!" It seems to me that this will not cause much improvement - in the case of a defensive war, the situation will be Slightly better, but I would not bet on some super-qualities that we still have in relation to Europe. For the most part.
        We have a rather weak demography, the main working-age population lives in large cities, while these are highly mobile people who are extremely different in the categories of value-success-prosperity-mentality. A truly staunch Russian soldier was when it was possible to exploit the democratic potential of a remote village or the first generation born by people from a remote village. The city dweller is not famous for unpretentiousness, health, most of the people of military age are not famous for their satisfactory complexion. Of course, you can disagree with me - but this purely contemplative difference is quite clearly visible in Moscow time, when some major Muslim holiday happens or just Friday and you can watch people of satisfactory working build go from mosque to mosque. And then evaluate the difference with the young people you see in the subway or on the street.
