"There was a restructuring of the enterprise": the modernization of the T-62M and BRDM-2 vehicles in Chita switched to "military rails"

In the context of a military confrontation with the collective West, which uses Ukraine as a battlefield with Russia, the domestic defense industry is gradually adapting to new conditions, expanding the production of combat systems and reducing production time. One of the leaders in this process is the 103rd armored plant located in Chita.

According to the city administration, this is the only enterprise in the Russian Federation that has fully completed the government's task for the repair of combat vehicles.



The Great Patriotic [war] redirected the enterprise to war footing. Today, its production capacities are again relevant, because the planned indicators have increased, the staff has expanded

- noted in the report "Russia 24 Chita».

As indicated, repairs are underway at the Zabaikalsky enterprise tanks T-62M and armored vehicles BRDM-2, although other products are also shown on the frames, and the 103rd BTRZ as a whole is responsible for the restoration of a large range of armored vehicles. At the same time, the modernization of machines is carried out. So, the improved BRDM-2MS is equipped with a new engine, a thermal imaging sight and additional armor. Judging by the footage, a number of T-62Ms are undergoing limited modernization, receiving dynamic protection only in the front of the hull, on other machines of the same type, DZ is installed on the turret and on the sides, already corresponding to the T-62MV version.

The restructuring also took place in the organization of the work of the enterprise, the plant switched to a two-shift regime and a six-day [working] week. Three shifts are employed at separate production facilities. Today, the plant operates almost around the clock.

- declares the management of the enterprise, indicating that the increase in production at the 103rd plant is due to an increase in the supply of components, leading to an increase in output at other capacities of the country.

            The leadership proceeds from the consideration that the NWO is only the initial stage of the collision with Europe and the USA. Therefore, it is necessary to use old weapons. For the new - the time will come, and it is close.

                According to the latest information, we have about 12 tanks from 000 and above in storage. Given that the fighting in Ukraine does not involve serious clashes of tank units from a company and above, it is possible to use the capabilities of reconnaissance to send equipment with serious anti-tank properties to tank-dangerous areas, and against armored vehicles of a lesser degree of armor (which the Europeans decided to supply in significant quantities to Ukraine) was considered possible use something like T-62. For some reason, it seems to me that the 62 mm gun is quite a serious argument against the Stryker, M-115 and other BMP-BTRs at any reasonable range from any angle. Just to get in, at least close. I am not talking about open infantry in the field or urban development. Although, as a fantasy, I would also think about replacing the standard turret with a combat module with a 113 mm howitzer, reserved from the projectile, designed in advance for firing from the PDO. T.s. Manstein's idea with assault guns in a new way. Newer ones, T-152 and higher, of course, also need to be modernized and prepared for delivery to the troops. Ukraine may be followed by other actions wider than the NWO. And you have to be ready for this. A modern tank, like the T-72, cannot be built a dozen a day, and during the war their repair may not keep up with their failure. Therefore, to drive EVERYTHING that is possible and accessible to CBO today is frivolity, because something must be left for tomorrow. And tomorrow the Poles and Germans will have leopards, Leclercs, and Abrams. With them, too, it will be necessary to settle the situation with something.

            I have only one guess so far. The hulls of the T72 tanks, of which there are thousands in storage, will go into production of the T-90M. Otherwise, what's the point of upgrading the T62, and not the T72

                  Yes, for God's sake, here are the technical details, straight from Wikipedia.

                  Different T-72 models have different armor. Another filler in the tower and another "pie" forehead.
                  Reservation of tank turrets of the first series monolithic.

                  Monolithic Carl!
                  T-72B (object 184; 1985) - a modernized version of the T-72A tank with a 9K120 Svir guided weapon system, Contact dynamic protection, a V-84 engine and a 1A40 control system, replacing the 2A46 cannon with a 2A46M cannon - launcher. Significantly increased the armor of the VLD (equivalent against BPS 490-550 mm) and a new tower with a filler of the "reflective sheets" type was used
                  T-72B arr. 1989 (1989; unofficial and incorrect name T-72BM is also common) - a modernized version of the T-72B tank with built-in dynamic protection "Contact-V", similar to that installed on the T-80U tank, as well as modified composition of the upper frontal part (equivalent against BPS 530-600 mm).


                  For the opinion of experts - please welcome to the experts.

                  So, according to unverified rumors, for modernization to the T-72B3 (not even to the T-90), only these same T-72b models of the 89 year, or else as they are called "late", go.
                  So count thousands of tanks in storage.

                    Oh my God!
                    At least you would be embarrassed. What towers?! We're talking about tanks. Do you understand what a corpus is? Anyone who is even the least bit interested in the issue knows that the T-90M has its own turret, rolled-welded. Their production has been established, and it is the new towers that are being installed on the 90M.
                    And the T72, T72A tower, unlike the 72B, is really of no particular value, and only 72B are upgraded to 3B72. This is not a rumor, this is a known fact. Therefore, we are talking only about hulls, which, as far as I know, are not manufactured for the new T-90M, but are being finalized from 72.

                          These hulls do not meet modern requirements for resistance, primarily for resistance to kinetics. What's the point of using them then? There, therefore, the design was changed back in the 80s, twice. (this is only my estimated opinion, if anything, not agreed with the experts)

                          Well, the savings from using the existing hull is minimal, what is the point of destroying the full production cycle, including the hull, because of this, I don’t understand.

              In fact, everything is much simpler. It's just that Chemezov and his henchmen bankrupted and sawed up those repair plants that were repairing and could modernize the T-72 and T-80, and they had not yet had time to cut the plant 103. And so everyone knows that the T-62M was significantly inferior to even the earliest T-72 Urals, not to mention the T-72B.
              Yes, we have thousands of T-72s in storage, but in order for them to become combat units, they must be driven through a repair plant, and these plants no longer exist, there is only a plant for the T-62M, which is why they are being driven for repairs.

                I agree with you, but there is one more thing. This plant is capable of repairing both t-72s, the problem is the cost of repairing t-72s and t62s, officials and their children cannot fight on outdated equipment, otherwise they would have changed the brdm2 to something protected to reduce losses, otherwise they save, and the crews well here, apparently, the principle is that women are still giving birth, but they just don’t think that due to the so-called optimization of education, there are very few vocational schools capable of preparing new mechanical drivers in Russia, and there are problems with demography.

              These T-62s were used in combat units of the Southern Military District until 2008. They were in no hurry to change them to new ones, because it was considered a non-priority direction, the old ones are coping so far, which means new ones are not needed. That is, these T-62 tanks were still regularly started, serviced and moved somewhere in exercises and in battle (South Ossetia -2008)

              On the contrary, the “thousands of T-72s” in storage did not start for three or four decades, and little seems to be left of them

Which is much simpler than any of the T-64 \ 72 \ 80 \ 90 in maintenance and repair, takes much less time when withdrawing from the DH and is less prone to detonation of the ammo in the event of a defeat with a detachment of the tower. And most importantly - they ARE, there are quite a few of them at the bases of households, there are capacities for their restoration and ammunition for them. For service at checkpoints and for the protection of supply columns, as well as for fire reinforcement of infantry, you can’t imagine better ... in comparison with the towed Rapier, for example.

                Actually, in real battles under modern ammunition, our tanks of this generation (T-64 \ 72 \ 80 \ 90) appeared only after the collapse of the USSR. That's when, starting from Chechnya, everyone saw the towers flying up. This was the result of the appearance of an automatic loader and a shellless propellant charge. These charges in the carousel from the cumulative jet and / or secondary fragments ignite ... and give the same fireworks.
                The T-62 has slightly weaker armor, but the shells are unitary and in a metal sleeve. And this is what neither is, but insurance.
                but no one is trying to use the T-62M in anti-tank battles (although our Donetsk guys have already kind of left, and even seem to be successful), but to reinforce infantry and assault units. A tank is always better than an infantry fighting vehicle. Especially if it's BMP-1 or BMP-2. And all the more better "Rapiers".
                By the way, the appearance of the D-1 howitzers in the assault units was also perceived by many as "zrada" and a shame, but in fact they replaced 122 mm. D-30, whose power was no longer enough, and there were interruptions with shells. Their range is approximately the same, but the D-1 projectile is almost twice as heavy. And there are enough of these shells in warehouses.

                Of course not . The issue of increasing the rate of fire and at the same time reducing the crew to 3 people was decided. Less space is needed in the armored space, the tank turns out to be more compact with the same / better degree of protection. They were going to use them massively, and you can get into the automatic loader cassette only by shooting at the side at an angle close to the normal. So they considered the degree of survivability quite acceptable. The T-72B is even better in terms of security than the English Challenger-2, although it is 1,5 times lighter.
                And for information - the T-62 has so far been put only in the corps of the republics of Donbass (even before the referendum) and it seems like PMC "Wagner" and Co. (Bars, etc.). They needed to be reinforced quickly.
                And so at checkpoints in the rear areas, on supply routes, for escort services, strengthening the units of the National Guard in the rear areas, these tanks will be the best. Than nothing.
                And for ambush actions in defense, they are also quite good. Better than Rapier.

Loader, like what kind of way out of it? However, the interaction within the crew is different. Damn, but he has an ammunition rack, tin of course, how does he even get a shell from there?

          It all depends on how the tank is modernized, it is possible to make an older vehicle not inferior in its characteristics and combat capability to the newer T72B3, it may not reach the T-90M, but this is not necessary, because we have a huge number of tanks left for storage from the army of the USSR, it is necessary to modernize them qualitatively and competently dispose of them at the front.

            T62 with adequate modernization will be enough for almost everything .... 115mm is not enough for the modernized T64/72 and fresh foreign cars. Well, do not bet on the main lines. For mobilizers, they are easier to master, and the rest is a question of the budget that will be spent on modernization. Here is the MT55 - tanks from Slovakia with 105mm L7, communications and thermal imagers and armor.

            It all depends on how the tank is upgraded, it is possible to make an older vehicle not inferior in its characteristics and combat capability to the newer T72B3

            It is forbidden. Even with a gun of the same caliber and modern sights

            There are parameters such as, for example, the length of the BOPS, limited by the capabilities of the automatic loader

            Or security - in direct proportion to the mass of the tank. And the maximum mass is “tied” to the engine and suspension

            Only good auxiliary and transport vehicles, heavy armored personnel carriers are obtained from old tanks. But there are many pitfalls here as well. For example, a complete replacement of the MTO is required (to organize the landing route)

            An alternative - turning the tank 180 degrees backwards, without replacing the MTO, will require replacing the fasteners of all torsion bars, shredding the entire car. Cheaper to build Armata T-15

        They have one plus: the barrels of the guns are not worn out and there is ammunition from the Soviet times in warehouses. Think of it not as an old tank, but as a mobile armored weapon.

        The T-62 is a great tank. And it is obsolete only in comparison with modern tanks (if you arrange tank duels between them). But if it is used as a means of supporting infantry, then its firepower is three heads higher than that of any armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. And in order for it to fully fulfill the task of supporting infantry, it should be equipped with dynamic protection, night vision devices and digital communications, which is being done to the extent possible. And most importantly, there are thousands of these tanks in storage, and it's time to use them for their intended purpose, until the resource is fully depleted. Where to store next?

The long-range and powerful 115-mm cannon with the ability to launch ATGMs through the barrel is being replaced by a module with a weak small-caliber cannon with a three times shorter point-blank range and openly located ATGMs. The tower becomes lightly armored and remains inhabited. Well, it would have been possible to understand the prospective uninhabited module "Epokha", otherwise the performance would be reduced in almost all respects.
          African and Arab countries can be understood, they most likely have problems with supporting weapons in the rare 115-mm caliber. And why is this for Russia?

      Instead of building new tanks, we are all modernizing the old ones. No matter how the T-34 began to modernize.

      And you are wrong! Who are you by military specialty??? I'll tell you, you are nobody and an empty phrase.
      And as a specialist in armored vehicles, I will say one thing, those vehicles still have high survivability, they can still be used against both Leopards and Abrams.
      As for me, I am already retired due to my age and have an iron armor, as a highly qualified specialist.

        It is not clear how the T62 with any kind of modernization can be used against the Abrams, the T62 with a 105-mm gun will not penetrate the forehead in any way, but the Abrams is any through 62-ku in any projection. Mounted dynamic protection will only save from cumulative ammunition, and even that is not a fact. At most, such modernized T-62s can be used against lightly armored targets (well, against infantry in not very strong structures, of course)

          Modern tanks, even after being hit by a 105 mm projectile, especially a high-explosive fragmentation projectile, become incapable of combat, since the warheads of optoelectronic observation and aiming devices are very vulnerable even to a 30 mm gun of an infantry fighting vehicle or armored personnel carrier.

        I agree, the survivability of those tanks is on top. Just have time to change crews. They would put in them all those figures who reported on the state of the Armed Forces all previous years and check for survivability.

      If the need to modernize the T-62 is generally clear, then there are questions about the BRDM-2MS.
      There it would be desirable to have anti-cumulative grids, which can be called anti-drone.
      And the most controversial decision is the installation of a turret from the BTR-80, which was outdated more than 30 years ago, we can say even at the time of its installation on the BTR itself. There is also a new MA3 tower, where there is a launcher for 4 ATGMs, an electric drive and an AG-30. Even the "Crossbow" module with machine-gun and grenade launchers will be better than the outdated turret.

        There are many of them in storage, but they were not combat-ready.
        They were put into storage "as is": without repair of engines and with "screwed up" gun barrels.
        The T-62s were in better condition. Therefore, they are put into operation.

      The modernization of old tanks is a good thing, given the impossibility of quickly increasing the production of modern ones, but the choice of the T-62 is still not clear, if the T-72 is in storage. It is impossible to say that a 105 mm gun cannot support infantry like the same BMP-3, just as it cannot be said that the vehicle will not find application at the front. Although, given modern realities, it would be nice to add a combat module with 2A72 behind the turret and attach containers with ptura to it. The weight will most likely be raised by a ton, but this will give a lot of opportunities. In fact, it will turn out to be a "terminator". To support infantry in an attack from closed positions, the vehicle will turn out to be very dangerous.

      In the USSR Armed Forces, factories for the repair of armored and aircraft equipment were in every military district, and they were able to carry out not only the repair and restoration of equipment, but also its modernization. At the military level there were repair and restoration battalions in divisions and repair and evacuation regiments in the armies. Years of the so-called. reforms and especially the notorious Serdyukov outsourcing military repair almost destroyed, but about 5 years ago it was decided to restore repair units and units. By the way, they showed themselves well during the CBO. But it is more difficult with district plants, some of them died during the enlargement of districts or corporatized like arsenals. But in 3 years it is necessary to increase the army by 1,5 times, and this is not only personnel, but also equipment. It is clearly not realistic to rivet thousands of new tanks in 3 years, especially since in the USSR tanks were produced not only in Nizhny Tagil and Omsk, but also in Kharkov and Leningrad. But using the potential of the surviving repair plants, and, if necessary, reprofiling automobile and tractor plants for this purpose (including those of the only true ally - Belarus) - is quite realistic, given that, according to various data, we have from 8 to 12 thousand in storage. tanks of various modifications. The experience of the SVO has shown that there is no talk of raids by tank armies, tanks are used most often as mobile firing points or as part of small units. So it’s not necessary to have “Armata” here, restored and modernized vehicles of the old fleet are also good, especially since there should be a lot of reserve tankers in the Russian Federation who served on the T-62, T-64, T-72.

      Why do we need such BTR-80s with 5-10 mm armor, which can be pierced with any machine gun
      It was necessary to modernize them for sale, but always build new ones for yourself.
      They did the right thing in the USSR, every 10 years they presented new samples
      In Russia, for 30 years, not a single armored personnel carrier has been presented new

      Judging by the footage, a number of T-62Ms are undergoing limited modernization, receiving dynamic protection only in the front of the hull; on other similar machines, DZ is installed on the turret and along the sides, already corresponding to the T-62MV version

      I don’t understand one thing - if the safety of the crew (relative, of course) requires remote sensing from all sides, then it’s criminal to put it on some cars only in front. Since the time of Ustinov, our military-industrial complex has been trying to give the military not what they need, but what is convenient for the military-industrial complex itself to produce, but not at the cost of the lives of tankers! The T-62 is not a child prodigy even after modernization, but if you still save money and drive frank bullshit ... Russian women have somehow not been very determined in recent decades to give birth to the Motherland of new tankers.
