"A solution with unclear effectiveness": Turkey appreciated the protection of the upper hemisphere of T-72 tanks from Bayraktar

Like the T-34 in its time, the T-72 has become a symbol of the modern era. But in the conflicts that took place in Syria, Libya and Karabakh, he could not resist the Turkish laser-guided missile MAM-L, which was dropped on the enemy's armored vehicles by ANKA and Bayraktar TB2 strike drones.

MAM-L became the killer of more than a hundred T-72

- noted in the edition SavunmaSanayiST.

Ukraine has already armed itself with Bayraktars. Its army also possesses the Javelin ATGM system, whose missiles operate in Top Attack mode [strike into the upper hemisphere of armored vehicles].

Russia is taking some passive measures in an attempt to defend its Tanks against these threats

- the author considers.

One of the amateur photos shows the T-72B1 with reinforced turret protection from above. He was allegedly filmed in Crimea. It is possible that the grilles installed on the tank are designed to reduce the destructive effect of the Javelin ATGM. But the publication believes that the effectiveness of the "birdhouse" against these ammunition, which has an armor-piercing tandem warhead, looks very dubious.

This suggests that this solution [birdhouse], developed by the Russians, is in fact directed against the MAM family of munitions, which have very successfully acted as tank and armored vehicle killers in Karabakh, Syria and Libya. It is unclear how effective this solution will be. At this stage, we can say that these tanks are only being tested.

- the conclusion is made in the Turkish edition, while indicating that the grid can fight other threats, for example, with small ammunition fired from the UAV.

MAM-L work in Nagorno-Karabakh:

And what, it turned out cheap and cheerful. Better than nothing!!! Besides, Javelin has a small commutation charge! So well done ensign !!! and in the video a volley from one pipe? The impression is that they set it up themselves, then the soldier jumped up, sat down in the cockpit, lowered the trunks-pipes and ran away imitating a war, and the remote control machine stood on the sidelines. very similar to a staged video.

PS It turns out interestingly: the Turkish laser guidance system is a tasty treat and a highlight, and ours is also worthless. It seems that the "experts" have adopted the experience of "British scientists".

[Yujanin]

Most likely, the soldiers recognized the sound of an incoming rocket.

[Snarkxnumx]

Above the tower, a frame and a disc made of sheet metal 15 mm-20 mm, with a diameter larger than the tower and attach additional active protection to it

[Yakuza]

Yeah, and then, under this sandwich of explosives, drive a tank on the march? Fight yourself on such a trough

[Kesha1980]

Well, pessimistic. But Chapaev will probably agree with you.
Pay attention to the 2 layers of reinforcement (I agree, it sounds funny) from the side of the main angles of attack. For you, is it better not to do anything? EW is probably also trying. And the air defense (kinetic part) will somehow add something to the defense tactics. All together give a positive survival rate and fulfillment of knowledge base. And this is the main thing.
And the era of computerization in the "command grid" obliges to "steer" a platoon / company from the inside. You can't use pens).

Exactly so! We must try the elements of the remote sensing! (It is possible and of the type DZ "Knife"! ...) It's just a pity that the "visor" is only above the tower! Add "trump protection" over the engine compartment too! Moreover, the "motor" visor can be reclined on the "tower" visor!
By the way, once in the USSR they developed a projectile "umbrella" (ZET-1)

Well ... a big booze has begun - cut the last cucumber! Why shouldn't "such" "umbrellas" (having modified, of course ...) be fixed above the tower and the engine compartment ?! Or apply protection like SMART-PROTech on the visors ...

[Kaw]

Quote: Maz

Besides, Javelin has a small commutation charge!

Yeah, very small, with 800 mm armor penetration and tandem. And under this visor there is a tank roof 2-4 cm thick (if I'm not mistaken).

[_Ugene_]

until there is a serial KAZ with the protection of the entire hemisphere, and we will fence this disgrace, like the Syrians, but they are from hopelessness and poverty, and we are from what?

[private person]

so we will fence this disgrace

You ask the tankers a shame or not. If there was no effect, they probably would not have done it, but as you put it, kaz also does not give a full guarantee.

[_Ugene_]

never convinced, a disgrace it is a disgrace

[Togilen]

What kind of military? Were there fighting with the use of roof-breakers and these colander?
"Uncle" do you even understand what you are talking about?

[Old tanker]

You ask the tankers a shame or not. If there was no effect, they probably would not have done it, but as you put it, kaz also does not give a full guarantee.

Tankers really do not like this "vegetable garden" on the tower. Very much interferes with embarkation and disembarkation. And if deformed, the lattice can generally clog in a burning tank. And few people believe in the effectiveness of the "birdhouse".

[carstorm 11]

Well, you have a KAZ. What's next? How much can it reflect? 2? 4? And if 6-8 arrives? The presence of KAZ will make it possible to live a little longer and not become invulnerable. Quite quickly, everyone will calculate its vulnerabilities and rebuild the methods of destruction. It's pretty straightforward. And the additional protection as sculpted and will sculpt. Because this is ADDITIONAL protection. There is nothing shameful here. It was and will be.

[_Ugene_]

How much can it reflect? 2? 4?

2? 4? what nonsense, much more, for example, each mortar KAZ Afghanit contains several dozen charges, but even if 4, then the vaunted Bayraktar will spend all the ammunition for 1 tank and fly away with nothing

Quite quickly, everyone will calculate his vulnerabilities and rebuild the methods of destruction. It's pretty straightforward.

Well, of course, and the KAZ developers will sit on the pope and do nothing? This is the eternal struggle between the shield and the sword.

But to weld lattices on top is of course much more effective, I agree, high technology, ugh shame

[carstorm 11]

2 or 4 is just an image. Everything is being studied and new instructions for the destruction of complex targets are being sent to the troops. Weak areas, tactics. Grilles are additional protection. Do you understand the meaning of the word ADDITIONAL?)

[_Ugene_]

when it is ADDITIONAL after KAZ, then it is really ADDITIONAL, and now it is a disgrace and not ADDITIONAL protection, firstly, the effect of it is VERY dubious, watch the video where our ATGM was fired first at the target without a protective grill, then with it, there was no difference at all, and secondly, the rocket will not necessarily fly into the tower, from above everywhere the armor is minimal, in short a disgrace, do not persuade
And I'm not one of those who are sitting and all Russian hait, I really feel sorry for this that we are like beggars Syrians, but they are from hopelessness, and what are we from?

[carstorm 11]

What from what? I have already told you three times that this is additional protection that everyone always talks about. What are we from? How do we not buy Israeli states?) For a couple of baht?) There is a new arena. She is being tested. What well.

[_Ugene_]

What from what?

unclear? Why do we weld self-made hack with zero efficiency on drill equipment? from the stupidity, greed of officials? or something else?

[carstorm 11]

Let's do it this way. I'll show you a photo of Soviet tanks in Afghanistan and you will think.

[_Ugene_]

this only proves that in real combat conditions, with insufficient protection of the tank, any tricks are used, you can also show photos of tanks with sandbags, etc. near-zero, therefore it is not applied

[carstorm 11]

This proves that additional protection was sculpted, sculpted and continued. In the DB zone, the crews go to any lengths to add it somehow. You just need to clearly understand for yourself what I have already said ten times - this is additional protection. By definition, there is never enough of it. I'm not saying that KAZ nafig. But even with him, as soon as they find the pain points, the crews will start sculpting something on them again. In this case, we have a reasonable approach to test these ideas empirically. What's bad about it?

[_Ugene_]

that's it, this

In the OBD area, the crews go to any lengths

they no longer have a choice, any available means are good, even with dubious efficiency, it is bad that such useless artisanal cheapies are officially put on military equipment in peacetime, once again - this is not additional protection, this is a disgrace for the whole world, in fact, our officials sign this in full of its helplessness against drone drone

[carstorm 11]

Well, if you study this question, you will find out that this is just an attempt to study this option of protection. Just tests) Let's call it that. There is no seriality there and not even close.

[_Ugene_]

tests are when they tested it at the test site and removed this shame, and then tanks in columns drive around and all of them are photographed

[carstorm 11]

And for God's sake) Personally, I do not see shame in this. I just do not tear this way of protection from others. Disguise. Smoke. Aerosols, etc. Each of these can help out at some point. I will leave aesthetics to those who see cars only in pictures.

[Old tanker]

This nonsense, without any tests, was invented by the commander of the Southern Military District, Dvornikov, and implemented by a strong-willed decision.
And surnames in Russia have always been speaking
True, the tankers are not laughing.

[Barberry25]

the most important point is that in case of efficiency, such a system can be hung on all tanks in a week - the main thing is the presence of a welder, fittings and a circuit

[Togilen]

And from a tank that is burning fast with this additional "protection" you will be pulling a soldier out ... well, you won't, the ass is sitting on the couch

[carstorm 11]

Oh, how) well, my as you say oops tank school finished to begin with. And yours?) A burning tank damn it)))

[Togilen]

she may have finished

[Ros 56]

Guys, than to dog, it would be better to put on the shelves what you know about this danger and how to avoid it whenever possible.

[Togilen]

There is military air defense and aviation in the sky + electronic warfare. And you don't fucking think of bullshit.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Do you think this design is much more reusable? Or can it be changed by the crew on the battlefield after each strike?

We are waiting for the armature. By the way. Interesting changes have taken place in the design of the production version of the T-14 in comparison with the early parade version of the T-14.

As we found out, the tank received new elements of armor, which now increased the resistance of the heavy combat vehicle to enemy shells. Moreover, the design of the tank's rollers has been changed, the external design of the front of the tank turret has been changed with an additional increase in its strength characteristics.

judging by the official information and the location of the Afghanite mortars from above, he does not cover the tank, only an aerosol curtain from the threat from above, and I do not see any changes in this regard, but now it is from above that the main threat to tanks is

[svoroponov]

Special smokes that blind the homing head
infrared, ultraviolet and tele-guidance systems have already been developed and are being tested at the test site. Cover both vehicles and area. It was even shown on television.
The grill is also a good thing, if the corresponding steel or alloy is in the form of plates of a certain thickness, then even tandem ammunition may not take it. On impact, it strongly deforms and does not turn out to be a strictly directed commutative jet. , and the second charge, if the grating is at a certain distance from the hull, is triggered ahead of time, which does not lead to damage to the armor by the weakened jet. My brother told me that he generally saw screens like those of an old Soviet box-spring bed. So there the rocket managed to throw a little before detonation and the jet did not hit forward but somewhere a little to the side of the trajectory and there was no damage to the equipment

[_Ugene_]

firstly, it is unclear when to launch these aerosols, for good, as in the KAZ, the radar should track the threat from above and automatically shoot them, but I don’t see the upward directed radars there, and secondly, active protection and passive, you must agree, are not the same , in the first case, the rocket is destroyed, in the second, he launched an aerosol and pray that it would not hit
in my opinion, for an ultra-modern tank just undergoing testing, it is not logical not to provide active protection from the most dangerous direction for it

[_Ugene_]

The lattice is also a good thing

“As expected, the lattice screen did not completely save the car’s side from the cumulative projectile. He broke through the screen, and the cumulative jet burned through the car, coming out from the back side, ”- says the newspaper.
The publication notes that “in the experiment, far from being the most powerful and modern grenade launcher was used, however, even this was enough for such a result”.
Not only we have such results, protective grilles from ATGMs on armored vehicles have not taken root anywhere due to low efficiency, only they are welded on from despair, such as it will not be worse

[Roma 1977]

A randomly home-made grill on MTLB and a calculated grill of the Research Institute of Steel on a tank are a little different.

[svoroponov]

Well, if steel 10 is 2-3 mm thick, then there is a grate, what is not. It will do for the effectiveness of the display.
But if the lattice is made of certain special alloys 6-10 mm with different welding angles into the frame and possibly a profile, then you still need to see what the military is currently working on at the training grounds.

[D16]

the cumulative jet burned right through the car, coming out from the back side, ”the newspaper comments.

Before broadcasting this nonsense, take an interest in the temperature of the cumulative jet.

[_Ugene_]

what is there to broadcast if the star filmed a detailed video, all this "nonsense" was filmed on a high-speed camera and in slow motion you can see everything in detail

[D16]

And the thermometer was attached to the shooting

[_Ugene_]

here the temperature is not interesting, but the result - the effectiveness of lattice screens against ATGM is negligible

[D16]

An interesting process of "burning" the armor with a jet, the proper temperature of which does not exceed 400 degrees C. The effectiveness of lattice screens is of a probabilistic nature. Nevertheless, this increases the chances of survival of armored vehicles when hit by simple cumulative ammunition. For little money and pounds.

Well, then, dear, indicate what kind of armor the cumulative jet pierced: "... The test was attended by the developer of the grenade launcher Pavel Sidorov. The tested armored vehicle was the MT-LB transporter ..."At MTLB:" ...The vehicle has light armor, protecting against small arms fragments and shells, with a thickness of 3 to 10 mm made of steel and a maximum of 14 mm at the front of the turret.... "At the same time, the tower of the tank:" ...The turret armor belongs to the "semi-active type", in its front part there are two cavities located at an angle of 54 - 55 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the gun. Each cavity contains a bag (3 layers glued together) of 20 30mm blocks. The block had 21 mm armor plate, 6 mm rubber and 3 mm metal plate. 3 thin metal plates were welded to the armor plate of each block, which provided a distance between the blocks of 22 mm. Both cavities have 45 mm armor plate between the package and the inner wall of the cavity... "So maybe the grill over the turret of the tank makes some sense.
Penetration Javelin, 750 mm., And armor penetration RPG-26, (at an angle of 60 ° from the normal) 220 mm. This is for you to compare the power of the cumulative jet.

[Reklastik]

In 1945, the springs from the beds as a screen from the faust cartridges did not help Soviet tanks in Berlin ...

[svoroponov]

Of course you can laugh, but if you think about it. The rocket speed is less than the projectile speed. Spring steel in the form of connected springs is very strong, but it is movable as a protection. The main thing is how this spring lattice will look like, the thickness of the spring rings, or the winding, etc. It will not be possible to burn it instantly, it is, moreover, like a screen, is mobile and has time to deform and change the direction of flight and, accordingly, the jet. The jet is effective if it strikes a surface at an angle of about 90 degrees to it. And if it goes with a small deviation, then its effect drops sharply.
This is not my opinion, but specialists in the development of protection against anti-tank weapons.

[Reklastik]

Was someone laughing?

[FrankyStein]

Modern ammunition detonates even when touched by the side surface, no deformation of the funnel will occur. And the cumulative awl flies out several meters, and even the removal of the grate a meter from the armor will not affect the result in any way. This collective farm is out of hope and the enemy is now aware.

[svoroponov]

Tell the Americans that. They also have protective screens on their armor. Probably for beauty.

[Sergey Melnik]

It is precisely the aerosol curtain that should be developed when protecting against laser-guided ammunition due to the deterioration of the laser itself in scattering and reflecting media, up to the complete failure of the system. The only thing that is difficult to overcome is the inertia of the flight of the rocket itself after launch, it will still fly into the point originally set, although it will no longer do the slide. In general, the priority solutions to the problem of dispersion and reflection

[svoroponov]

During the slide, additional targeting is in progress - specifying the projection and location. The cloud disrupts this stage, and if the vehicle is even slightly in motion, the hit may most likely not be.
The cloud is sprayed at a low altitude and looks like an air blanket, providing disruption of the silhouette of tele-guidance. At the same time, simultaneously with the cloud, something similar to sparks of a Bengal fire is triggered in it. which helps to disrupt guidance on
infrared channel, possibly ultraviolet.

I believe that they simply did not seriously deal with the problem of protection against destruction by such types of ammunition with their guidance and destruction features. But in principle, the problem is solvable, although the cost of protection systems increases very much, since it will more resemble aviation warning and protection systems in its principle of operation

Any means of protection are good if they protect the crew from the listed types of ammunition.

Interestingly, if you put more bags with DZ on this lattice, you will be able to increase protection.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Yeah. And on top of the bags with DZ there are still bags of sand.

[loki565]

Yeah. And on top of the bags with DZ there are still bags of sand.

Well, they hang such on the sides, why can't they hang on the roof. Moreover, judging by the fastening on the straps, they are not very heavy

[Gvardeetz77]

If we make the grill "two-story", then the tandem ammunition is not so terrible, though it is possible that three-day power supplies will be adopted, well, then the decision to "weld" the third floor of the grill is clearly cheaper than R&D on new protection ...

[Pandiurin]

Quote: loki565

Interestingly, if you put more bags with DZ on this lattice, you will be able to increase protection.

It depends on what to fence the defense against. If against an uav (barrage ammunition), a cumulative and an impact nucleus, then what has already been welded is quite effective. The cumulative jet from the initial obstacle loses its integrity, further, with increasing distance, it dissipates even more, and the distance there is very large.

Presumably against this type of threat, the effectiveness of this protection is very high. And what are the bags for?
They will not help from a land mine that has flown in from above, from the rest, and so it is enough.

[Yakuza]

They will hit the engine even more efficiently

[Alexey G]

So there is still a burner behind the tank! She will distract the racket on herself!

[Vadim237]

The problem is that fourth-generation ATGM systems such as MMP and Spike have the ability for the operator to guide the missile through fiber until it hits, and the operator will choose which part of the tank to hit - alas, this roof made of gratings against these complexes will be absolutely useless against a free-falling guided bomb with laser guidance MAM L and a 10 kg cumulative tandem warhead are also useless, since these bombs hit the side projections of the vehicle.

[Nikolaevich I]

how does it interfere? The task of the remote sensing is to destroy the cumulative jet, and where it is formed is no longer important, on the remote sensing itself or having already broken through the obstacle, this is how, in principle, the built-in remote sensing works

[mark1]

Quote: loki565

This is, in principle, but in practice, the energy of the explosion will go not upward but to the sides (the reflecting plate will rattle and fall), but what will happen to the neighboring unprotected blocks?

As well as on the side screens, the neighboring ones fly off.

[pytar]

To protect the upper hemisphere, you will obviously have to develop special protection! What is certain to put on weight! KAZ looks more promising, but additional booking is also needed! The problem is not only in the extra weight, but also in the fact that the center of gravity / CG / machine becomes higher! Required fundamentally new lineups taking into account the threat from above!

The best remedy for Bayraktars is normal air defense.

[Alexey G]

[Mountain shooter]

Such protection, although it looks funny, is quite an effective and cheap substitute for KAZ. Since they do not overlap the upper hemisphere yet. It is not necessary to scoff. Anything that reduces the effectiveness of enemy weapons is useful ...

[Roma 1977]

The cumulative ammunition has a rather low power. Therefore, steel gratings (destroying a thin-walled cumulative funnel), or tangential firing of the ammunition, drastically reduce their effectiveness. This is not a land mine. Once again, the grating does not shield from the cumulative jet, but simply does not allow it to form, destroying the hull, whether it is a Javelin or any other cumulative ammunition. Simple and cheap, but effective solution.

[Kaw]

Very ineffective, and most likely completely useless against tandem ammunition. IMHO

[Roma 1977]

How does a tandem ammunition differ from a non-tandem ammunition if the missile breaks in half?

[Kaw]

I do not even know what to say. What kind of breaking?
The Research Institute of Steel considered that the deformation of cumulative funnels, when hitting such lattices, occurs in 50% of cases. But this is for conventional cumulative ammunition, and in tandem ammunition there are two funnels, the first may be deformed, and the second will definitely work as a whole, because when the first funnel hits a hard surface, the fuse will go off. IMHO

[Roma 1977]

That is, the second funnel will be triggered when the first funnel touches the grate. So, its focal length will be at a certain distance from the tank's armor, and the penetration efficiency will sharply decrease due to the dispersion of the jet on the way to the armor?

[Sergey Melnik]

Everything is correct, the cumulative jet should be formed clearly on the armor itself, the further from it the efficiency decreases, and almost several times with a distance of every centimeter. From this, a funnel is formed on the cone of the projectile, for greater concentration, preventing it from being sprayed over the surface

[Old tanker]

Effective against RPG shots where the funnel is at the head. ATGMs usually have a charge behind the homing unit (if any) and the control unit with steering machines. They break through / move apart the grate and the charge works on the armor.
And the grill saves from an RPG shot if the grenade fuse got between the grill plates and did not work. Only then is the cumulative funnel destroyed. If the fuse hits the grating plate, the charge detonates normally and the cumulative jet is formed of the correct shape. But here the fact that the grating is located at a certain distance from the armor plays a role (in this case, it works as an anti-cumulative shield). When using tandem ammunition, the grill will not save.

[Roma 1977]

If the fuse is triggered on the grate, then both the first and second charges of the tandem ammunition are triggered at a distance of a meter from the armor, and on the armor is also fragmentarily installed DZ. If in this case the cumulative funnels of the ammunition (which are very thin) are destroyed, then the cumulative jet does not occur at all. So? I suppose that in about 50% of cases of hitting the lattice, the turret armor is not penetrated. That is, according to the cost / efficiency criterion, a correctly calculated grid is an effective solution. The information is, of course, closed, but indirectly it is pumped over.

[Old tanker]

The first charge of the tandem ammunition partially destroys and bends the grate, which in most cases allows the second charge to work on the armor.
If the efficiency of the grids were 50/50, then all our tanks would have been hung with them. But, precisely because of their low efficiency, they are installed only in the transmission area. Where penetration of armor does not cause death of the crew.
I will repeat. The grill is effective against a regular single-block RPG grenade.

[Roma 1977]

And also in the transmission area and the booking is much weaker than the frontal (as well as on the roof of the tower). But if in the transmission area the lattice is 20 centimeters from the side, then above the tower - in a meter. And for the focus of the cumulative jet, every centimeter is important. It makes no sense to weigh a completely modern tank with grilles, since in the front projection it is likely to keep hitting even tandem ammunition.

[Old tanker]

The side of the tank along its entire length from bow to stern has the same thickness. But to save weight, only the location of the crew and the b / c is covered with dynamic protection. If the grilles were effective enough, they would cover the entire side.
Well, the focus of the jet is formed practically along the edge of the cumulative funnel. And the distance to the armor does not affect its formation in any way. So "every centimeter" is absolutely not important here. Here, several tens of centimeters are already playing a role, and preferably meters to weaken the effect of the jet itself.

[Pavel57]

And Turkish tanks are not afraid of anything.

[Vasily Onischuk]

because they do not exist and, therefore, they have nothing to fear.

[stankow]

There is. M-60 and even m-48 are still in service! Level t-64 and t-54. Modern Leopards 20%.

[Roma 1977]

The use of 3rd generation ATGMs is not planned for Turkish tanks. However, they burn from the second, and even from conventional RPGs, like all other tanks in the world.

[Observer2014]

And if you put on a camouflage net on this "crate". In the summer, even the crew will be comfortable. The shadow of a thing under the scorching sun costs a lot. And here it is also useful for business. And I don't see any "shame" here. The protective grill is removable. It is put on as needed. There will be a full-fledged KAZ with protection of the upper hemisphere. Well, they will remove it.

Why is it not clear, one might think that fools in Russia have welded on some sort of lattice ... without testing .. haha.

[Kaw]

It is precisely in Russia that this is easy. Someone has adopted the Armor, the guns of which cannot shoot down anything, but it cost the state much more than this grate.

Well, that's it, Sumerian, you won, in Rashka and in the SOVK, there was and is, the most crap weapon in the world, American, European, Israeli, Turkish is a hundred times better, calm down.

The Kremlin is already in your hands, a little bit is left ...

[Old tanker]

It was precisely the tests at the behest of General Dvornikov.

[maksbazhin]

I would like to clarify two points:
1) can a baykatar rocket really hit a tank (there was information that the missiles themselves were rather weak and in the NKR mainly baykatars aimed barrage ammunition.
2) the lattice screen, of course, is bullshit and it will not smear any cumulative formation, but they pulled "sun visors" on the screen, which not so long ago discussed here whether, for example, he could deceive the GOS by changing either the signature or temperature or what else the target.

[Jacket in stock]

Quote: maksbazhin

can he, for example, deceive the GOS

Bayraktar has a television camera with some kind of resolution that allows the operator to recognize the tank at a decent distance.

[maksbazhin]

I will clarify: Javelin seeker, they wrote that it reacts to a thermal contrast target.

[Vadim237]

"Can a bayraktar rocket really hit a tank?"

[p0pulivox]

Quote: _Ugene_

until there is a serial KAZ with the protection of the entire hemisphere, and we will fence this disgrace, like the Syrians, but they are from hopelessness and poverty, and we are from what?

And we know from great intelligence and great wealth.
I don’t want to repeat myself, but I’ll still write: not only from a tandem warhead, but also from an ordinary cumulative warhead, this nonsense will not always protect ...

[Diverter]

I read the comments and remembered military photos of Soviet tanks from the streets of Berlin. In those photos, on Soviet tanks, everything was not screwed on. And bags of rubble and beds, etc. and so on. Therefore, the question arose for those who criticized this decision on Russian tanks. If you are put into a tank now and sent into battle, which tank will you choose before the battle? With or without roof bars? The answer is obvious. So this is the answer to criticism.

[Old tanker]

The answer is really obvious for me, who took part in the hostilities. Definitely without such a birdhouse on the roof.

[Gardener91]

Maybe It's: https://warspot.ru/2914-plazmennaya-oborona-fantastika-ili-realnost

[Mogicanin]

Better than nothing.
Allowing hundreds of MAM-Ls to be shot at a tank without a grill will pierce 90 times. And with the grill, at least there is hope of 50/50.

[Momento]

most likely it is a psychological defense. By the way, this is also important, but should she reflect 50% of mothers? especially since they do not fall vertically.

[Vadim237]

No, this guided bomb hits at an angle of up to 45 degrees in the side projections of the equipment and it has 1000 mm armor penetration, whatever you say, but after such a hit the cover and this lattice canopy over the tower will really protect only from the rays of the sun.

[Vadim237]

Basically, Bayraktars worked on armored vehicles with these guided bombs in Karabakh.

[SPQR]

In short, without the normal work of reconnaissance + artillery + missilemen = cleaning up possible places and shelters for operators of Javelins and other dregs, why should tanks be allowed into battle at all. Is that how it turns out?

[Baron pardus]

When you read some expert (or Ex Perda), you need to understand that behind EACH work you can see the ears of the writer. Moreover, that a writer is PAYED for his work, it is natural to understand that often a writer writes exactly what he was paid for, otherwise they will stop paying him, and NO ONE cares about the truth, or no. So that's it. Ours in Iraq hung about the same grilles on a fairly cardboard Stryker. The result is more than one and a half hundred hits from the RPG-7 and NOT a SINGLE penetration. So, I understand that RPG is not Hellfire, and not Tou and not Maverick. Nevertheless, such a lattice may well save both the tank and, most importantly, the crew. And the cost of such a grill is LOWER than the cost of one shot from an RPG. I sincerely hope that as ours tested the Stryker grilles before hanging them on the striker and sending the Strikers and their crews into battle, yours did the same - put the grill, banged into it with something like a Cornet, and the grill held out. And to criticize without knowing the results of either tests or combat use is from the series "Baba wrote with a pitchfork on the water." Skepticism is good, moreover, it is necessary, but any criticism should be based on the results of TESTS, and not on what is called guesstimate in America. It is a combination of the words "guess" - to guess, guess, and "estimate" - to guess, to estimate. I mean, Guestimate is an estimate without any facts. This is approximately what many "experts" are doing. If such a lattice, placed vertically, can withstand the hit of the Cornet, then it should be placed horizontally, in theory, to protect the tank from the Javelin. POINT.

[svoroponov]

By the way, from javelins, infrared lights help if they are turned on and oriented accordingly. A blot in the receiving head of the rocket leads to the disruption of the image and the rocket simply flies along the trajectory without guidance. It's just that these searchlights either do not turn on or they are simply already broken by close explosions, bullets and shrapnel.

[Old tanker]

... Ours in Iraq hung about the same grilles on a fairly cardboard Stryker. The result is more than one and a half hundred hits from the RPG-7 and NOT a SINGLE penetration.

Following your words, apparently this nonsense is also well paid for?

[Baron pardus]

I understand that making jokes and showing how smart you are (Smart as Wutka ??) is easier than typing "Strikers against RPGs" in any search engine. https://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/m1126-strykers-in-combat-experiences-lessons-01323/ By the way, the data is outdated, now there are more than 150 hits in strikers from RPGs and ANY armor penetration. (I mean Strikers with grilles and hinged armor). So educate yourself, and before you write something, work hard, sir, to read something smart.

[Old tanker]

How much did you get for advertising a Western unfounded article, if not a secret, of course?
In English, I only read and translate with a dictionary. Therefore, google translate to help. But the article is so-so agidka. No documented statistics, no research details. So the bars to the Strikers will wake up))))

[Old tanker]

Oh, did you get paid for the distribution of a Western propaganda article too?
Then yes - lattices to help the Strikers!

[Baron pardus]

The bars help our Strikers, but you, and you at least fight on foxes. If you still do not understand, I am not a "observer" from some magazine where they pay me. I am just a veteran of the US Army who has been rammed for 6 years in Iraq and Afghanistan. MOS - 68W. So keep on acting up and remain ignorant. Me - on a drum and even on a tambourine. If you don't know how to use a search engine - ask, kind people will show you. And to people like you to explain something and try to enlighten at least somehow, it's like throwing beads in front of a certain animal ... So good luck.

[EMMM]

Believe it or not, this is the moment of the decline of tanks in general, like cavalry in 1941. The world is changing!..

[EMMM]

By the way, the "Bayraktars" will not have long to live, possible military actions are turning into completely different planes. Today, at the strategic level, there is no room for a hot war (with the use of ultra-modern weapons. There are local conflicts solved by the Kalash or M-16, and serious issues will be resolved in a completely different way and using a different technology.

[EvilLion]

That's right, replace them with trucks with no armor at all.

[alexey alexeyev_2]

The new is the well forgotten old. I read the memoirs of the tanker Bryukhov. So he describes how, in preparation for the storming of Berlin, they welded on their tanks ordinary metal beds with iron nets. In urban battles, the faustics were very annoyed. The effectiveness of such protection was about 15-20% but still better than nothing. It's a shame that we didn't bother to think about defending against the javelin.

[EvilLion]

If we compare the cost of a tank with the crew and the cost of a piece of iron, then even a few deflected missiles and bombs, and they throw anything from drones, pay off the idea, in the city it also protects against shots from above.

[Kostadinov]

Give the tank a scout drone for guidance and an anti-aircraft missile through the bore!

Bayraktar can also be shot down with existing ATGMs (with some modification) mounted on a tank turret - like on North Korean tanks.
For such a simple target as Bayraktar, the cannon of a tank with the appropriate ammunition may also be effective.

[Hitriy Zhuk]

So it is, Shtora (T-90 has "eyes") is.

[OpmoDoigy]

Lattices will help maximum from javelins, spikes undermining the tank's bosch.
And UAVs will not be saved from missiles. MAM-L missiles can be directed 45 degrees to the tank turret, where it is fully open.

[Desert Battleship]

If you put on top of this lattice a banal thin layer of mineral wool, then the thermal seeker of the javelin will be guided anywhere but not into the tower. The blow will most likely hit the motor compartment as the warmest one. Now, if the ammunition is controlled by the operator, then oh.

[tank64rus]

Well, where are aviation, chemists with smoke screens and engineers with masking nets, traps, shelters, mock-ups, etc., where air defense, electronic warfare, etc. The tank alone does not fight, except in modern crafts about war and in stupid use in the conflicts of our time. Well, as for the visor, it's a shame when the army team do it and put it on. The answer must be one - equipping Russian tanks with serial KAZ. If they start groaning again, which is expensive, then form tank crews exclusively from majors. Here they have both speed and andrealin and everything will go off scale. And the tanks will quickly, quickly equip the KAZ and the Armata will be put into production.

[LAWNER]

I don’t believe that the Turkish military missed the opportunity to test such protection .... Maybe they simply did not expect that Ivan would return to the defense of the Second World War.

[Last centurion]

It’s a no brainer that air superiority wins in modern warfare. Aviation and drones. If it is not there, then all the rest of the scrap metal turns ... into scrap metal. (The Strategic Missile Forces does not count. He shob the world into dust, including any air superiority). But I'm wondering how to leave the tank when a rocket hits this lattice and bends and fiddles ...

[Kostadinov]

It’s a no brainer that air superiority wins in modern warfare. Aviation and drones. If it is not there, then all the rest of the scrap metal turns.

This theory (about all-crushing air superiority) is already 100 years old and despite that it has never been confirmed anywhere. You cannot think that the brain of people is like a hedgehog.
Ever since the era of the civil war in China in the 30s to the era of wars with Hezbol, the Islamic State, Yemen and Nagorno-Karabakh, victory is possible only where there is superiority in the ground forces.
No aviation and drones are able to compensate for the superiority of the enemy's ground forces.
