A close explosion of a projectile destroyed a Ukrainian BTR-4E

A video appeared on the network filmed by a Ukrainian soldier after the defeat of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine by artillery fire from Russian troops.

Judging by the footage, the shell fell between the BTR-4E and the BMP-3 (apparently captured). Its close detonation tore apart both units of enemy equipment: the armored personnel carrier lost its turret, and the infantry fighting vehicle was seriously deformed.

Here is the parish, and here is the yeshka [BTR-4E]

- says the Ukrainian soldier, pointing to the distance between the crater and the equipment.

The footage shows the remote-controlled combat module BM-7 "Sail", which is characteristic of the 4E version, flying off to the side. On an armored personnel carrier, it was located in the rear of the hull (the landing compartment was behind the fighting compartment; in front of them were the MTO and the control compartment in the front segment)

Only a guided missile can cope with this technique. weapon or aviation

- said the manufacturer.

Initially, the BTR-4E was intended for Iraq, but the authorities of this country, having received the first batches, terminated the contract for their supply, revealing the poor quality of Ukrainian armored vehicles. As a result, the vehicles ordered by Baghdad were transferred to the National Guard at a price of $ 1,5 million per unit, then the transfer of the BTR-4E to the army began. According to the IISS, as of 2022, there were about a hundred armored personnel carriers of this type in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At present, they are encountered at the front less and less, being knocked out in battles and giving way to Western models of technology.

Not even a hit, but a close gap. Cool. It is time for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to think about an organized, without fuss and haste, surrender. Better this way than in the form of a burnt carcass in the ground

Boiler steel instead of armor. This is fine.

Boiler steel

And even the bars did not save! And so they hoped

[SincerityX]

So gratings are against cumuls, how will they save from 152-200 shells?

[TIR]

In the event that an RPG is triggered on the grate, it will still burn through such armor through both sides

[SincerityX]

That's it, in case. This is where the grid is needed. so that there is less chance.

Judging by the footage, the projectile landed between the BTR-4E and the BMP-3. Its close detonation tore apart both units of enemy equipment

Type :- "And with one bullet he killed them both..." (C)
It is somewhat doubtful that one shell five meters away could so gut the equipment, and the funnel is not very large. Still, probably there could still be anti-tank systems.

[Last centurion]

And what is the question, then this is an armored personnel carrier, it burns from heavy machine guns. It's about the same kinetic energy. Even more.

The shell could hit the armored personnel carrier (its wheels even flew off) and the infantry fighting vehicle stood nearby, so it got it too. And it is not necessary that the projectile could be a mine from the "Tulip".

If you carefully watched the video, you should have seen that two BTR-4 and BMP-3 vehicles were destroyed by one explosion.
When a 152 mm caliber projectile explodes in a couple of meters, it’s not enough and it won’t seem to the tank. It won’t destroy it, but it will demolish everything attached to the armor, and maybe even damage the chassis.

[dzvero]

Exactly. During WWII, a close (5 ~ 10m) FAB-50 gap destroyed even T-IVs, and panthers and tigers could be disabled. And then there are infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, which are similar in terms of booking level to T-I and T-II. Apparently, OFS 122 or 152 mm exploded 5 meters from the cars and they had enough.

[Petrovsk]

Direct hit of 122 mm ofs 56-1 from d-30 into the tank. Ugledar direction. The dill tank terrified our soldiers for a long time. Pure luck, hit at night.

drone shot about a month ago.

20 meters hit by a projectile is considered to be the destruction of the target. From such a distance, the armored personnel carrier flashes through fragments

[Carat]

Finger-thick cracks in armor are not low quality, they are outright rubbish.

[Kuroneko]

I hope that the armored personnel carrier pie was with "meat".

[Ivan Ivanov]

Nearby it looks like our BMP-3 with a torn off tower. What is there to be especially happy about?

Have you tried reading the article? It's clearly written there.

[AdAstra]

The comrade obviously means that in terms of security, our captured BPM also has no more chances to survive, and you immediately about "read".

Well, he did not write the word "zatrafeena", the point is not in this his commentary.

He wrote the word "looks like". Although the article clearly states that this is a BMP-3

[Father of papa carlo]

Looks like they have old air conditioners in the armored personnel carrier.

- Blow his head off! someone said sternly in the gallery.
- How do you say? As? - Fagot immediately responded to this ugly proposal, - to tear off his head? This is an idea! Hippopotamus! he shouted to the cat, “do it!” Ein, bloom, dry!

[Comrade I]

Will our armored personnel carriers behave differently? Why such a statement of the question in the news?

[kill the fascist]

I don’t know about the damage due to the “hit nearby”, otherwise, in any case, well done art.

[expert]

The video itself is pleasing to the eye. It is sad that dozens and dozens of units of Russian, captured, armored vehicles are used against Russian fighters.

[savage3000]

the video clearly shows that an armored personnel carrier was shot down with artillery. BMP-3 was hit by something else. at such a distance, the BMP-3 calmly holds shell fragments. plus she burns it.
