"Now only BTR-82AT are being made": the Ministry of Defense made a choice in favor of protection

The Military Industrial Company has launched mass production of the newest armored personnel carrier BTR-82AT, which replaced the previous models at the production site.

"MIC" now makes only such machines for the Ministry of Defense [...] Thus, the standard BTR-82A is being changed and updated, and this is already being done in series

- said the head of the company TASS.



According to him, the new product has additional protection and is equipped with lattice screens, which allows it to withstand the effects of rocket-propelled grenades and guided projectiles. The new sighting system makes it possible to detect targets around the clock at a distance of up to 3 km at night and up to 2 km during the day. The new machine has an independent line of sight with stabilization, a rangefinder, a thermal imager, and it is possible to capture and track a target.

The BTR-82AT was created in the process of modernizing the BTR-82A. For firing at highly armored targets, such as a tank or a heavy armored personnel carrier / infantry fighting vehicle, the new vehicle is equipped with portable Kornet ATGMs. The new remotely controlled weapon station is an initiative development. It includes a 30 mm automatic cannon and a 7,62 mm PKTM.

The combat crew consists of 9 or 10 people. The turbo diesel engine has a power of 300 hp. The maximum speed on hard surfaces is 80 km / h. The weight of the updated car reached 17 kg, which actually deprives the BTR-250AT of buoyancy (dismantling of protective and lattice screens is required).

In terms of the composition of weapons, protection and the ability to solve tactical and fire missions, the BTR-82AT actually becomes an infantry fighting vehicle

- believed in the western edition of Army Recognition.

Previously, "VPK" was responsible for the production of new BTR-82A and the modernization of the old-built BTR-80 to their level. Judging by the stated statement of the head of the company, the release of this modification has been curtailed, the Ministry of Defense has made a choice in favor of the more protected BTR-82AT.

            what are we discussing here?

            There is nothing to discuss. БТР-80 это не автомат Калашникова, который одинаково полезен и ниггеру в Бронксе и спецназу в джунглях, а банально плавающая защищённая от ОМП и случайных героев-пулеметчиков повозка для мотопехоты в полном ОЗК, охреневающей от темпа марша 50км/сут. across the lunar landscape of EuroTVD in the direction of Brest (French), when in front and on the sides - the skeletons of tanks from neutron b / n shine green and the path festively outlines flashes from exchanges of tactical nukes between Starfighters and the positions of Luns and Points, and Mi-24 and 8 and 26 with replacement crews to continue moving after overdose and Tu-22M3 with X-15 to ensure peace to all your homes to the music of Red Alert.
            For everything else and any other conflicts, this is an unprotected, inconvenient and blind tin can for future heroes.
            The BTR-60/80 was created for a specific task in a specific historical context, for specific requirements, and among these requirements was not the convenience of landing, a ramp, protection against RPGs, land mines and IEDs on the road, or providing information and visual awareness, but were protection against Weapons of weapons of mass destruction and riflemen, speed, buoyancy and support for infantry actions in defense and offensive as part of a formation, at least in conjunction with another armored vehicle.

              No, there is something to discuss here, the same people who insist on hanging screens, they put a soldier in the back of a truck behind a ZU-23-2 installation and consider it normal, they also hang dynamic protection units on cars and consider it normal.
              In the BTR-80, first of all, there were no automated drives and a stabilizer, this was the main drawback, it was turned into another drawback by hanging an uninhabited tower. And now attention, the main question, why it was impossible to make normal drives, install a stabilizer and leave the turret habitable?

        Well, someone from the Moscow region liked that in Moscow every summer in the same place the curbs and tiles are changed, they decided to build a metalwork plant, and do all the "newest" BTR-80 with a "new" cannon with gratings ... landing under enemy fire through the upper hatches could land ....

        what is the difference. Only in lattices

        No, there are still additional armor screens.
        Grids are useless without them.
        Basically, these grids are designed to withstand very specific threats - PG-7 and PG-9 grenades.
        In other cases - guaranteed reduction of the high-explosive effect, and probabilistic - destabilization of the cumulative. jets.
        The probability will vary greatly from case to case.
        Research Institute of Steel reports:
        A set of combined (armored + lattice) screens for the BTR-80
        Area of ​​protected projections:
        body: forehead - 90%, tower: forehead - 60%,
        board - 80% board - 80%
        feed - 90%, feed - 100%.
        Set weight -1000 kg.
        Protection against RPG grenades of the PG-9C type at any course angles of fire with a probability of at least 0,5.
        The probability of a break in armor when hit by RPG grenades is not more than 0,2.
        Increased protection from bullets caliber 7,62 and 12,7 mm.

      The meaning of this is down to equipment, is it not easier to have motorized rifle brigades on equipment capable of forcing water obstacles and brigades on heavier equipment, for which it is possible to make armored personnel carriers, albeit heavier in weight, but with good armor.

                    I would compare it with the T-15 and say maybe we should use old cars and remake them. Since the new platform is so slow in admission. Maybe it would be cheaper at times. But no, he compares with 82. Where is the logic at all?

                      The logic here is that we do not have heavy armored personnel carriers a little less than at all. And where it would be desirable to use heavy ones, you will have to use 82.

                        Yes, no, and that's sad. Well then, we need to focus on the fact that we are not heavy, and not compare with 82s. Who have completely different tasks. There was no choice either this or that. Why do they drag so long with heavy ones I don't know.

                          The reasons, as I see it, are that before it was banal there was no money for this and there was no critical need. The same United States is still quite doing without heavy armored personnel carriers. In principle, even now, heavy armored personnel carriers are not a cheap pleasure. We are sawing T-15, but we are unlikely to wait for it in the near future, in my opinion it would be possible to create an ersatz based on old tanks.

Unless, of course, the Ministry of Defense cherishes the lives of soldiers. And so you look at how they drive around Idlib on armored personnel carriers when there are Typhoons and Lynxes, you start to doubt. I'm not saying that they are not there at all, but why use APCs in addition to them is not clear to me.

They just promoted something else. With these little dolls, you won't be able to fight much. 250, or half a ton of cast iron is still the same 250, or half a ton of cast iron. And with modern guidance, they can be thrown very accurately.
                          As an auxiliary, yes, drones are very good, but no more. These are all the same slow-moving maize machines, but of a smaller size. The fact that Erdogan was able to promote them through the conflicts in Syria, Libya and Karabakh does not make them some kind of imba. It's just that these were wars, with their own specifics, and there these UAVs showed themselves with dignity, but no more. The Americans have had these drones for several decades, but still the basis is, of course, aviation. For there are no dilettantes sitting there

It is precisely the war in Karabakh that has shown how overwhelming is the advantage of those who have drones. This is even if we take into account the Armenian carelessness and sometimes not very effective use of drones by Azerbaijanis.

                          To begin with, this conflict did not show anything special. And Azerbaijan had an advantage in everything. Azerbaijan fought against the defense army of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. There was not even a close conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, if you haven't noticed.
                          And here the decisive factor was rather illiterate defense and the surrender of the country's interests by one individual.
                          Unobtrusive drones played a big role in cutting out the air defense of Karabakh, which consisted mainly of outdated systems, and only then aviation went into action. And the UAVs have already performed the role of gunners, and, on the smallest detail, they have eliminated some targets.

                          They will be ineffective against a strong army. Against the LDNR will of course be the deciding factor. Against the Russian Federation ... Well, good luck. They can buy at least 1000 of these corn workers. Most of them will be buried in the places of basing, other air defense and fighter aircraft will switch. But then the trumpet will come to the mother's generals

                          Even against a strong army, this will be a serious advantage factor. But it was just about the army of Ukraine, which in the near future will not be able to oppose anything especially to the army of the Russian Federation. And drones just against the Ukrainian army will decide much more than heavy armored personnel carriers.

                          Even against a strong army, this will be a serious advantage factor.

                          Firstly, a strong army also has these "fintiflyushki" in stock. Even if not, there is a deeply echeloned air defense with fighter aircraft. None of the conflicts you are referring to is anything like that. There was only a fight against the "Papuans" with more modern weapons. "Papuans" against a more modern army. About any even close equal ratio was not there.
                          In the same Syria, almost all air defense was on alert and guarded important facilities, including the administrative centers of Damascus. The presence of air defense on the front line was not a big necessity. So the Turks frolic for the first time heartily. The same Carapace should not act alone. They must cover the so-called blind spots. You also need to take into account that the Syrians lost most of the park during the civil war. And also that they were armed with old modifications.
                          In Karabakh, almost all air defense was as ancient as mammoth shit, with the exception of some specimens. And then, as I understand it, they only began to tighten at the end. But due to their small number, they could not have a significant impact.
                          And from this they inflated some epoch-making event.
                          Almost all of the Armenians were sitting in the barracks, the SU-30s did not shine at all. Is that only the Torah then additionally fitted a couple of pieces and that's it.
                          It was a war of the Karabakh army against Azerbaijan, Armenia did not want to get involved in this mess.

                          In total, we see how a more modern army, with more modern weapons, with a much larger number of units, crushes a backward enemy. What did you expect? And what does it have to do with the UAV?
                          Yes, with the help of them they opened the backward air defense, or rather the places of their deployment and destroyed. They cleared the way for aviation, and looked for targets to defeat. They also effectively hit some objects.

                          And drones just against the Ukrainian army will decide much more than heavy armored personnel carriers.

                          Where did I make this comparison? Where? I did not say that we need APCs instead of UAVs. Where did you see this? It's just that in certain situations, this technique can minimize losses among personnel. You are not hoping to clean up urban development with the UAV, are you?

                          Only precision weapons and aircraft will decide. If the task is to defeat the enemy, and not play a local war, and then go to sign Minsk 3.
                          With the help of the UAV, it will be convenient to open air defense in order to minimize losses and use it for reconnaissance and target designation.

                          Even against a strong army, this will be a serious advantage factor.

                          This will not be any serious factor, given what is now available among the UAVs. They will smash you in the first hours. And the airfields where they are based, and warehouses, and supplies, and headquarters. It is foolish to assume that this will be a war like the Karabakh war. Where Azerbaijan calmly launched its corn plants and no one destroyed their places of deployment.
                          Only when used in combination can it give an effect. Otherwise, it will turn into useless tweaks. Like the Karabakh tanks and artillery, which were left without protection

There was no choice between them and the UAV. UAVs replaced aviation, and opened up the enemy's defenses. TBTRy says they were not used at all. This is the finish line of course.

                          Where did I argue that it was not achieved using the UAV? But you are trying to project this small-town conflict in general on all future conflicts.

                          You yourself wrote:
                          It is precisely the war in Karabakh that has shown how overwhelming is the advantage of those who have drones.

                          What exactly did this conflict show? How to smash the ancient air defense to smithereens? Well, with this, and the aviation would have coped in the same way. So what, then, is that overwhelming advantage? In what was used instead of aviation (at first, then she did all the main work, they just pushed them back) drones against the ancient air defense?
                          Is this your advantage? Against the army of Karabakh? Karabakh, Karl. Not even Armenia.
                          Virtually zero sky control. Neither aviation nor drones really, only the ancient air defense, which was generally not sharpened for such small targets. Yes, even against the aviation of Azerbaijan, it is so to itself. The only thing the Torah could oppose was something, but the cat wept there. But on the other hand, it was precisely the drones that showed something there, and not the rotten defense. There has already been talk about the fact that armored vehicles are not needed, and artillery, since it is so easily destroyed. As if it was not so before when the sky was given to planes. The only thing is, maybe so many videos weren't filmed. Maybe that's why such a psychological effect.

                          I wrote in our case, maybe aviation will still have a decisive role? For so far, it is simply useless to compare the potential. But for reconnaissance they are definitely needed. As shown on 08.08.08. And in order to open up the enemy's defenses, too, minimizing losses. Losing a plane is one thing, a UAV is another. They are also inconspicuous (small versions) for many air defense systems, which is also a big plus.

                          You wrote in Russian that the war in Karabakh showed how overwhelming is the advantage of those who have drones. And I thought that she showed only that for whom the sky is the one and the king. That's all actually.

                          Let's say we don't have any UAVs at all, but in Ukraine there are a whole thousand Bayraktars and other such equipment. According to your logic, they will have an overwhelming advantage? How many vehicles will they be able to lift into the air after the outbreak of the conflict? Do you think there will be a similar war when Azerbaijan calmly raised corn workers from its airfields? Oh well. The advantage will be for those who can suppress the enemy's defensive orders to their full depth. Azerbaijan could with regard to Karabakh, as we can with respect to Ukraine.

                          UAVs will still occupy one of the main roles, and it is necessary to develop this direction as quickly as possible, but so far this is not the case. In the meantime, all these small-town conflicts do not really show anything. In addition, how well-armed the enemy kicks the weaker one.
                          Listen, as if the next sunset of the era of heavy battleships is happening. But in fact there was just another war with the Papuans.

                          For you, this is probably an extremely painful topic.

                          So it seems to you. I just look at things more soberly and analyze past conflicts deeper than it is presented in the information field. What exactly was in stock, what modification, in what quantity, even who exactly sits at the console plays a big role. The same UAV operators were great pros. They competently bypassed the air defense, competently opened it, competently led the enemy and delivered blows, or gave the command when he concentrated as much as possible in one place. But this their free-flowing behavior was primarily caused by the low activity of the air defense.
                          Therefore, to say that the UAVs made some kind of coup there is so stupid for me. But they did good advertising, of course, and accelerated the trend for drones.

                          The same can be arranged in the LPNR, they have nothing to oppose to this in a general way. Only as deeply as possible, do not concentrate in one place for many, etc. But they have Russia behind them, which can turn their bases and control points into dust in minutes. There is no point in playing tag with air defense with them. Even if Krabakh had a decent air defense, it would still be a matter of time before it was opened. I think it makes no sense to compare the possibilities of Azerbaijan and Karabakh, primarily financial ones.
                          Judging by the epaulettes, you are from aviation and you are extremely worried that the UAVs actually wrote off you for scrap. I sincerely sympathize with you, but there's nothing you can do about it, progress. You are not the first, you are not the last.

                          No, not even close to aviation. They will not be written off soon, if ever. With the new trends in green energy, the oil workers have not lost their work, and will not disappear soon.
                          I am only for UAVs, and for unmanned tanks, and for robots to replace soldiers, etc., human lives are much more expensive, but so far we have what we have.

      And here I completely agree. The armored personnel carrier must deliver the infantry to the battlefield, and not to the enemy dugout. There is either a cheap armored vehicle, or a combat vehicle, but it is much more expensive and heavier, it eats more. True, intelligence also uses armored personnel carriers (in my platoon BTR-70 and BRDM-2), so we need an armored personnel carrier, like in the west. Kurganets will do.

        The BTR-82 is actually a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, and it does so in Western reference books. The difference between infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers in armament, the first cannon (20 mm or more) and other heavy weapons, the second has machine guns for self-defense.

        If it comes to that, then first of all you need an optical-electronic reconnaissance module capable of detecting, if not the figure of a grenade launcher, then at least the flash of a shot. And having the ability to react independently to the flight trajectory of a grenade or ATGM in the event of inaction of the driver and gunner-operator.

        Where does this nonsense come from. There is no difference in the purpose of the BMP and the APC. They differ only in that the BMP has artillery / missile armament, but the armored personnel carrier does not. Their roles during hostilities are absolutely the same, and armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles carry the infantry to the line of attack, and the infantry goes to the attack on foot in a chain. Read the charter of the motorized rifle troops of the Russian army.

          I see you read the charter, but you were not in battle. Infantry fighting vehicles, having landed the infantry, enters the battle, providing support to both the infantry and the tanks. But the armored personnel carrier in battle has nothing to do, although this happens. I mean the classic line fight, not the attack on the column. So there is a difference in the appointment.

            And the armored personnel carrier must engage in battle. In the charter of motorized riflemen for 80 years, there is only one difference. Light armored vehicles not equipped with weapon stabilizers must support the infantry with fire from behind cover (terrain folds), moving quickly from cover to cover, and vehicles with a stabilizer must slowly move directly behind the infantry and shoot on the move.

      Why then not the BTR-90? He has better protection, and the cannon is 2A42, not 2A72. And they stabbed him to death due to excessive weight.

        The concept of the BTR-60/70/80/90 is outdated, the 90 is fundamentally no better than the BTR-82A, but fundamentally more expensive. We need qualitative changes, we need a wheeled APC / BMP a la Boomerang.
        For that matter, the BTR-87 is one of the best options for upgrading this line.

      And why the ATGM is not immediately washed down on the combat module? I understand that the issues of cost, etc., but this is clearly the moment when "it is worth its money." Obviously, shooting on the move (okay, right after stopping) is several times more effective than portable, while they pull it out until they get out themselves, while the machine is put on while the rocket is .. Or have I missed something?

Except if "Armored personnel carriers do not fight with tanks."then the portable one is" unnecessary "like that Internet. Again (now the idea has reached) If the ATGM is still included in the vehicle kit, then transferring it to the combat module will free up space in the troop compartment (or where it is stored there)

        Imagine, with an uninhabited module, the gunner looks not into an optical sight, but into a low-resolution and high-quality glare screen, in which he sees almost nothing. He can no longer not only see beyond the battlefield, he does not even understand where he is looking, and you are also going to hand him the ATGM remote control!

      The new sighting system makes it possible to detect targets around the clock at a distance of up to 3 km at night and up to 2 km during the day.

      Maybe on the contrary, in the daytime 3 km and at night 2 km?
      And even then the distance is somehow small.
      Moreover, the 2A-42 has a firing distance of up to 4 km.

MCP on BMP and MCP on armored personnel carriers do not differ in any way in terms of tasks and tactics?

        In terms of tasks and tactics, they may not differ, but significantly in terms of capabilities. In the BMP-2, both the stabilizer and the drive, and in the BTR-80, everything is done manually and instead of a cannon there is a machine gun. And now for the BMP-2 the manned module "Berezhok", and for the BTR-82A is an uninhabited contraption with unclear capabilities.

      I had to leave the "armor" just when I heard an RPG shot - the fighters react differently, nevertheless, everyone remained alive, it is important to observe the situation while moving, and give the command in time, and of course the most important question is preparation, training of personal composition, when they react instantly at your command - "to battle!" sad
