At the front, a DShK machine gun stand with protection from harrowing discs was seen

The network discusses the find of the Ukrainian military, who discovered an abandoned towed machine gun mount at the front. Many mistook it for the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun, however, upon closer examination, you can see the rack from the 12,7-mm DShK machine gun, with which it was attached to the base equipment, perhaps tank T-62.

As protection for the shooter, steel discs for harrowing were used, which are equipped with agricultural machinery. They are quite capable of protecting against small fragments and small-caliber bullets. The machine gun itself is no longer on the installation.

Judging by the photo, at the moment, Ukrainian militants own the self-made installation. Allegedly, she was captured during the advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It is possible that earlier Russian fighters recaptured it from Ukrainian soldiers, removed the machine gun and abandoned the installation as unnecessary, since it is more suitable for movement along with lightly armed raid groups of the Armed Forces of Ukraine moving in cars than for armored combat formations of the Russian army.

Be that as it may, this case once again demonstrates the ingenuity of soldiers trying to protect themselves on their own in the absence or shortage of standard protective equipment. Both the Ukrainian and the Russian side have enough of this kind of homemade products.

We will also see not such homemade products, what is from our side, what is from their side

So the fact of the matter is that, in fact, Russians are chopping Russians in Ukraine ... Some - for the money of the West, the second - for duties to the West ..

[Andrey Moskvin]

Only the disks must be installed in the reverse order so that the joints look back. According to the principle of the brigandine.

So the topic is interesting .. In the prince in the form of modules for additional reservation of equipment. Or stationary objects.

Reminds me of an anecdote from perestroika

Telephone call...
- Have you seen what you saw on the first channel just showed?!
- No, I didn’t see it, but what did they show ?!
- Not a telephone conversation, I'll come, I'll tell you!

And on the first channel we have the same song. On New Year's Eve they shoot "Irony of Fate-2". In the role of Zhenya Lukashin - rear-wheel drive Romanian! Pulls to puke...

What is it to us in the midst of a war?
Maybe cover up this viper with Kostya Ernst? ..

Kirkorov, Phillip Bedrosovich. His father is Armenian, his mother is Armenian, and his grandmother has gypsy roots. It has nothing to do with the Bulgarians. Bulgarian citizenship does not. People's Artist of the Russian Federation (2008), People's Artist of Ukraine (2008), People's Artist of Moldova (2018). Listen to your health. By the way, the early Kirkorov was a completely normal singer.

How does "Brother" relate to culture???

And yet, now on Yandex (17:30 Moscow time) it turns out that according to the VTsIOM, 78,7 percent of Russians trust the president. Amazing stats.......

and what again does not suit you .. "bulk"?

only Muscovites and Petersburgers will be surprised. And among the Russians, the figures are absolutely accurate.

In fact, the harrow disc is a very difficult piece of iron. It does not bend, does not break when it hits stones, it is hard enough not to instantly wear out on the ground - I bought disks for a bourgeois (German) harrow and they promised me five layers of different steel, almost damask steel and Damascus))). And not a very cheap thing, two years ago, a chirp for a little thing.

[Alien From]

Agree completely! Agricultural machinery, if of high quality, cannot cost three kopecks.

[Berkut752]

Alien From, this disc is 8 mm, which matches the Kamaz spring and armor plate in front (belly). 6 mm armor on the back.

[seregatara1969]

alloy steel! thickness not less than 8 mm! if I'm not mistaken down

[Michael]

6mm, sometimes 5.

As for doping - I doubt it very much. Alloy steel with a chromium content above 14..16% becomes stainless. Let's focus on high-carbon steel, if the carbon in the steel is more than 0,4% and it is heat-treated, it also turns out to be a good piece of iron, quite hard and difficult to deform. Surely it will be good to protect from bullets and shrapnel.

The wunderwaffle was sold to you for ten. A disk for a harrow, usually of variable section (thicker at the hub) from 4 to 8 mm, the material is usually St65G, German-Chinese can be made of boron steel at a price of 1990 rubles. a piece. Prices on the Internet 1500-3000 rubles. It is stamped, bent, then hardened and tempered to a hardness of 40-50 HRC. So its protective properties are very different, but mainly from a slingshot and rotten eggs.

[Michael]

I didn’t buy for my own, for my mene the toad would not let me sleep for a week.

[ASM]

By the way, the steel is good, especially if it is Soviet. Even the stones scratch, but she only becomes dull. In order for the petal to bend, you need to try.

This is what you need to drink the elixir of youth to do something like that?! At the sight of such a miracle of engineering thought, the hand involuntarily begins to search for RPGs ... A nightmare flying on the wings of the night

[Storog dvornik]

From the point of view of design, quite an object ...
Segmental plates lie quite competently, their shape and intersections with each other ...

[Got it]

Not quite, for good, the joints should be the other way around, like fish scales. And here at the top, almost everything.

[Storog dvornik]

Fish scales are, of course, the best that nature has come up with - overlap + mobility - there is no dispute ...
I myself model similar armored systems, but the wearable ones do not roll yet, they turn out heavy, plugging in the materials ... We need to change the concept, prospectively - to "liquid armor" ...
But in the design of the enemy, judging by the pictures, the authors tried to apply the overlap effect ... IMHO

[rotfuks]

As protection for the shooter, steel disks for harrowing were used,

In general, these discs are not for harrowing the soil, but for heavy and deep soil cultivation. For plowing the soil and the agricultural unit is called a ploughshare. The fact is that these discs are made of very high strength and springy steel. The drill does not drill such decks. Knives from such discs do not dull at all. So the protection from such discs is very strong. Perhaps a large caliber will survive. This is provided that the disks are still Soviet and not modern from grandfather Liao

[opposite28]

It turned out interesting with harrowing discs, a bizarre engineering product of a convex-convex shape does not deceive visual memory and is associated both with the peculiarities of female physiology and the Ukrainian issue in general. Well, at least they guessed to remove the machine gun during the retreat

[cpls22]

Good idea of ​​scaly armor implemented. The bulge allows you to build semi-closed contours, and if one scale is damaged, you can simply replace it. Ideally, they should not be welded, but overlapped on the frame, on the bolt holes in the center.

[solar]

from disks for a harrow a good frying pan for a brazier turns out, but an armored shield ....
