An enemy grenade launcher ricocheted off a Russian tank turret

Footage was posted on the Internet showing close combat of the Russian Armed Forces during a special operation. On them you can observe how the enemy’s grenade launcher shot ricocheted off the tower of the Russian tank.

This was reported by the Telegram channel "Two Majors".

The footage shows an image of the scene of the clash, which was filmed from drone. Everything that happens is commented on by a voice-over belonging to the UAV operator. Unfortunately, his comments were generously flavored with non-literary language, so this video is not here.

Now Russian armored vehicles in the combat zone are accompanied by drones, which allows you to better assess the situation on the battlefield.

This time, the UAV operator noticed a group of Ukrainian infantrymen. He immediately said that they were armed only with small arms. weapons. But then an observer noticed a grenade launcher on one of the fighters. A Russian tank approaching them opened fire on the group, after which it continued to move to the right of their position. It seems that there was no connection with the drone operator, since the combat vehicle did not iron the enemy, but moved to the right, allowing the grenade launcher to strike from behind. During this maneuver, the UAV operator loudly warned the crew of the danger, but his words were ignored or not heard.

Fortunately, the grenade launcher ricocheted off the turret of the Russian tank without harming it. And on the tower, only the engine was left to burn out from a grenade launcher.

The grenade launcher of the wrong system turned out to be .......

[Myths]

The guys were really lucky, he was clearly aiming at the tower, but inexperience played its part. But again, there is a problem with the connection. And it almost cost the guys their lives.

[Machito]

In a good way, in modern warfare, a drone should accompany each piece of equipment.

[alexmach]

And that's the point. There is a drone, but there is no communication and interaction with the tank. He drove 5 meters from the grenade launcher and received a shot from 15-20 meters, thank God he didn’t hit.

[Pasus]

Moreover, in the video, repeated attempts by the drone operator to transmit information to the tank are heard, but in the tank, as in the tank - the connection is complete shit.

[RED_ICE]

The operator does not transmit information to the tank, but to the command post of his unit. But from the command post they had to quickly transfer information to the tankers

[Eug]

As for me, it would be right if the drone operator, along with communication with his command post, would have a communication channel directly with the tankers or that
the crew heard the operator's conversations with the CP; so that the crew could ask the operator to view a particular area in more detail.
It is possible for the drone operator to be at the tank CP when solving the issue of controlling the drone through a repeater - so that the enemy does not locate the CP.

[Volga073]

And how can the drone operator transfer information to the tank?

[tatarin1972]

Yes, communication is our eternal problem, and the situation is bad, this infantry turned out to be ours, it’s good that no one has failed anyone. Loss of control of units usually leads to "friendly fire", and it's good if everything goes without losses.
According to the video, the fact that it was ours was written on the Military Chronicle website.

[Rome]

Of course, I am not a pro, but the question constantly torments me: why do tanks drive alone ?! not a unit, at least a platoon! Unaccompanied by infantry? Full of videos where the tank operates alone at all!

[Lawrence_OnYouNo]

Of course, I am not a pro, but the question constantly torments me: why do tanks drive alone ?!

apparently, those who accompanied the tank fell behind for one reason or another, and the tank was without communication ... and so it remains alone ...... (((((

[Sebostyuan]

Accompanying is one thing, but having a stable connection is another.
For good, for new equipment: T-14,15, Kurganets, Boomerang - the drone should enter the state and display the image on the commander's screen.
Ps. The video looks more like the crew of the tank - noticed the enemy, fired and considered them destroyed.

Quote: Bearded

the drone must accompany each piece of equipment.

It sounds nice and tempting, but ... each drone will require an appropriate operator. So, unfortunately, it never will be. But the connection, which we traditionally have none ... our designers and engineers should work and work on this. For it has long been said, "Communication is the nerves of the Army."

It’s not difficult to make an autopilot for a drone at all

[Mikhail Tynda]

The grenade did not have time to cock. She left the grenade launcher under the action of an expelling charge, did not have time to cock, hit the turret, collapsed, the engine remained warhead thrown away ... What a terrible intensity of battles ...

[Fedor Sokolov]

It's a miracle! The crew of our tank in a shirt was born, apparently the Lord himself saved, because the truth is on our side.

[dmi.pris1]

The Lord provided the grenade launcher with covered hands and an eyesore .. I would have hit lower .... But there are questions about adjustment and communication on the battlefield ..

[alexmach]

But how can I tell you, the tank practically rode on them, and fired a shot directly next to their position. In such a situation, not everyone can do what needs to be able to.

A military instructor at school told how he ran tanks around a soldier. At the training ground, while studying with their own, not everyone dared to pass under a tank.

[Dost]

Here is a question. Why is a tank without infantry? And the fact that the warrior missed, I think he was shell-shocked.

[Lawrence_OnYouNo]

But what about those of ours whom the Lord did not save?

not having a telegram, look at the hell. upload video please

[Romario_Argo]

by the way
in general, only our tanks have "stationary" turret protection on top in the form of a visor
there was a case in the NWO,
hit of a 152-mm projectile in the visor of the T-72B3 turret - without breaking through the roof of the tower
originally conceived from the Javelin ATGM - and how it turned out

[dmi.pris1]

I don’t believe about the projectile .. And the visor is not from "tou" protection, but from "javelin"

[Romario_Argo]

the visor on our T-72B3 and T-90M tanks is better than nothing
western Leopards, Abrams, Leclercs, Challengers - generally without protective
especially from our anti-roof anti-tank mines PTKM-1R

[Prjanik]

[tlauicol]

Thank you! close too for the seven was. didn't get up. and again there is no connection!

there was a hit, the cumulative jet formed and went tangentially up - lucky

Eat your bite! And I really thought that there was something awkward with the obscenity! Just super. mat ... terrible and terrible! And here it is quite "usually"! Now the kids of the younger group in kindergarten swear so much! And thanks for the video! "I'm impressed"! It looks like the tankers didn’t really see the sold-out! I remembered Terkin when he "comments" on the instruction on fighting tanks ... they say the tank is blind near ...! Is the tank blind? Hmmm...! I’m lying in a trench ... and my heart is beating! Suddenly, how blindly will crush?! After all, he does not see a damn thing!
I also remembered the modern "fashionable" concept in tank building ... "Transparent armor"! At present, they are intensively doing this in Israel ... If memory serves, then they are seriously interested in such "weight" in the USA ... But I can’t remember anything Russian right now!

[saigon]

There is on the Zen, there is at Mikhail Onufrienko, you just have to look and the cart is not needed.

[Norbert]

if you watch this video, then the main point there is that the infantry has no connection with the tank
the infantry from the copter saw everything and could not warn
and the fact that there was a rebound is luck that the RPG casually passed
the video clearly demonstrates the problem of horizontal communication between units in the army
and what did the admiral generals, who regularly speak on Solovyov-TV, do - this is a question, as well as to all those involved in the General Staff
and such publications on in are a shame to the author

[invisible_man]

and such publications on in are a shame to the author

Is it the author of the article and the editor of the site who are to blame for the bad communication in the army?

[Norbert]

to the author, for not revealing the topic
Your comment text is too short

[Graz]

I watched the video, I didn’t like how the tank was driving, but it was driving as if by itself without control

[Corsair71 (Anatoly)]

What about the author? Everyone understands the problems, but your author turned out to be guilty. Marvelous.

[Novik225]

I'm not a military man, but maybe someone knows - an RPG shot when it gets on a combat platoon after a shot? Well, i.e. Is there a minimum distance at which it won't work?

[Uprun]

Yes, and there are different shots from a grenade launcher, not only cumulative ones.

[Artillerieunteroffizier]

RPG-7 grenade will explode only after 15 meters of flight. This is also very useful, otherwise you will blow yourself up several times before the enemy even comes into view.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I do not know the tactics of the tankers, but it seems to me that the tank should not attack alone, either the second tank or the BMP should help.

[single-n]

BMPT "Terminator". Didn't you see him in the frame? And he is. :)
But seriously, it's a hand-face. No matter how many videos I watch, mostly 1-2 tanks. Any tankers here? Enlighten what kind of tactic is this - offensive by single machines? Nanostorm?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

In the BMPT "terminator" there is no place for landing, or even for the evacuation of the crew of an escorted, supported tank.

When attacking the field fortifications of enemy infantry, our infantry must go / ride on a par with or immediately after armored vehicles (especially since the pace of the shown attack was low). And here it turns out that the crew did not notice the enemy infantry in the trenches, and simply continued the direction of the attack. In the case of a battle only with enemy equipment, or separate fortifications, this is possible, but when attacking through saturated and camouflaged trenches, I think it is unacceptable.

[Shamil88]

There’s no need to rejoice here, but on the contrary, those who watched the video from the cart know what I’m talking about, the connection is at the level of 41-42 years, or rather there is no connection with the tank, it’s lucky that the khokh.ol hand-ass and oblique, I remembered the video where our soldier was crushed by a tank Ukrainians corrected from a drone, and everything was fine with them with communications. Where did they spend the billions allocated for the archer, etc.? Generally not a secret.

[Reader 2013]

Rukoshop, not rukoshop, but when a tank shot over your ear and drove past, getting up and answering is hard enough, to put it mildly

[Mapping]

Where is the stable connection with the tank ???? What a mess. Nearly lost three people

[m_silenus]

Watched the video. It seems to me that the distance was too small and the charge of the shot did not have time to get on the combat platoon. Yes, and hit on a tangent. Tankers are just lucky.

[Romanenko]

The tankers were just lucky, it’s not the coolness of our tank, but the crankiness of the grenade launcher, I couldn’t aim normally from 50 meters.
At the same time, it is not entirely clear why they do not hear warnings in the tank from an observer from a drone, who throughout the entire video yells at them where the dills are sitting and that they are being targeted from a grenade launcher.
You can't really see or hear it in the photo, but in the video...
In a word, that day the guardian angel sat over the engine of the tank.
Previously, it was somehow customary to coordinate frequencies by communication before the start of the nomination, is something wrong now?

[dnestr74]

There is not enough evil from such a video, the grenade does not seem to have been cocked, it is too close.

[Romanenko]

There, even the engine did not burn out, it burned out on the hatch

[Akhr82]

There was a similar howl about six months ago, a manure shot from a window at point-blank range, with the same result.

NLAW is a Swedish grenade launcher developed by SAAB.

There seemed to be some kind of foreign stray. NLAW type. Because he shot from the window. And she's pretty complex. Azovets seems to have set the wrong regime. And the shot didn't fire.

The ammunition is cocked after 20 meters ... the distance to the tank turned out to be less ...

[Mint Gingerbread]

According to the mind, there should be a video broadcast from the tank commander. The drone operator outside shows the picture to the tank crew and marks the targets.
But since the tank is the most common and the drones are civilian, then there is no question of any special equipment, especially software equipment, of this or that equipment. It's all sad.
The tank commander himself could act as an operator. To equip any modification of the tank with a nest with a drone, a monitor and communication, you don’t need a lot of mind. If only someone would do it. It is not expensive.

Now tank builders are engaged in the concept of "transparent (or situational ...) armor" ... This is when the tank is "stuck around" with video cameras, sensors that allow tankers (at least the tank commander) to see "the whole area around themselves" as if he is on top of the armor !

[Mint Gingerbread]

Many luxury, civilian cars, foreign manufacturers, have long been equipped with a 360-degree view. They have digital vision, understand the dimensions and speed of objects, types of objects, distance to objects. They know how to park and drive themselves. And it's not even military equipment.

That's what armored vehicles lack, good airborne AI. He must be able to identify the target and understand who or what it is (manpower or equipment), track the location and distance, remember the location of the target, track the movement of the target, etc.
The tank launched a drone from its nest, which illuminated everything it could identify and transferred it on board. The gun was aimed at the marks of the drone and destroyed the targets. The future to be developed.

The head of the radio engineering troops of the Russian Aerospace Forces, General Koban, was removed from his post due to corruption

This is a TASS message dated January 14th.
Here is the answer why we do not have communications in the troops.

[DmSol]

how simple are you...
short, short... we know, we love, we remember

[single-n]

What was it now? Is this an interaction? Ah people. Yes, the fact that the tank, in principle, drove up to such a distance with the enemy group is already a polar fox. There, the enemy could have anything. From RPGs to banal lighters. The tank at such a distance does not see them and cannot do anything. Only if you try to push into the blind. The operator of the campaign cannot contact the crew himself and communicates through an intermediary. And it’s good if through one, judging by the lack of reaction from the crew.
K.- Coordination, the strong side of the RF Armed Forces. Why the hell do we need an UAV if infa doesn’t reach the soldiers? For headquarters vids?
And the tankers were very lucky. What exactly saved them. Tolley ricochets, or maybe the grenade did not have time to cock. I xs from what and with what that fighter shot. There is such a zoo in arms.

Perhaps this is the answer to many questions ....

As far as I remember, his deputy distinguished himself there by stealing about 6 billion. On the purchase of radios.

[Aleksey Aleksandrovich]

We do not know all the details of the battle. But the question is, why does a tank climb alone without infantry support? To hell with a Ukrainian grenade launcher so unrestrained if our tank was covered by a squad of motorized riflemen.

[kill the fascist]

On the plus side, luck, which very often plays the most significant role in war. On the downside, reconnaissance missed the enemy infantry, and our fighters do not support the tank. If they filmed from our UAV, then the lack of communication is depressing. Our guys win and a possible minimum of losses. Banderlog is glassy earth.

[FemiA]

The communication disconnect could be due to electronic warfare suppression on that channel

[Andron78]

The issue of the lack of communications is very relevant, but there is a second question about how this tank ended up there without infantry support and communications. Another question is why this small group of infantry was not suppressed by artillery fire, or at least an AGS or something else small. Why the hell did you have to drive a tank there like that?

[Old Horseradish]

This is not a tactic. This is sending tankers to slaughter. Once lucky, how many times unlucky?

The connection of the drone operator with the participants in the battle must be 100 percent ... our military should work on this.

And without sound, it was weak to post a video.

[Alexey Graff]

It is very sad that communications have not yet been established, there is no interdepartmental interaction.
Here is an analogy, we all invested in a house as a country, and we come back after 8 years and there is no foundation and there is no one to ask.

And if he hadn't rebounded? The boys stepped up. A successful sector chose a brute, but you can see it jumped from excitement or a newcomer overwhelmed.

[Georgy Sviridov_2]

He did not recoil, it was just a crooked grenade launcher from 30 meters that he could not hit. He went to the campaign along the flag for firing at a great distance. That's why I got into some kind of crap over the tower.

[Hanurik]

Quote: Dost

Here is a question. Why is a tank without infantry? And the fact that the warrior missed, I think he was shell-shocked.

I repeated it more than once, for which I was constantly minus. Why is there only one tank? Where is his platoon, company? The tank will be hit and immediately the tank against the infantry group will turn into 3 wounded tankers against the infantry squad.

[Mekey Iptyshev]

I saw this video a couple of days ago. It was just a description.
This is a unique video about what happens in the war. Firstly, due to poor coordination, our tank opened fire in the direction of our own infantry, secondly, the tank did not seem to see the infantry under its nose, and thirdly, the infantry fired at the tank from RPG-7, but because of the excitement a grenade launcher shot hit the very edge of the tower and it even seems to have a partial rebound. As a result, everyone is alive, but it is clearly seen how important communication and interaction is so that their own people are not beaten.
The infantry occupied the positions of the Ukrainians and cleared them out. Another unit launched an attack on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in approximately the same area, not knowing that there was already infantry from another unit there. There is no connection between the "neighbors", which military correspondents have written about more than once, each is fighting on his own. Mess and confusion in some places.

[Anchonsha]

With the composition of the tank was their guardian angel. Guys, God bless you, long life and health!!!!

[Sergei N 58912062]

And why then do you need a drone if there is no connection?
In general, it wouldn’t hurt for all our tanks to have an all-round visibility system. The same as on the T-90M tank.
