Good photos, vivid evidence of that time ...

[Samovar]

Great photo. Thank!

[Lucky]

Yes, I agree, great pictures!

[cth; fyn]

nifiga yourself padded BMP! but in my opinion it was torn to pieces there, in my opinion it was destroyed, and not knocked out.

[Lieutenant colonel]

It was not so much "torn apart" as it was burned out by the detonation of the BK (usually this is what happens with bekhs). The PPO system most likely did not work. He wants to believe that the crew managed to leave the wrecked car. But the tankers from the first photo were clearly out of luck. Perhaps the fur had time - although very unlikely. Rest in peace......

[Penek]

Judging by the hole in the ribbed sheet and the loose track, the mine went off. Mehan was most likely unlucky. And the rest of the crew, too, if only on top of the armor. There is no sign of a fire, there’s nothing to detonate in the BMP-2, it’s not a tank.
It’s unclear with the tank in the first photo - the breach of the tower is visible, as if they were already abandoned (crew hatches are open) they tried to detonate with an overhead charge.

[understudy]

At the beginning of 80 ... an echelon with knocked out armored vehicles in Kushka. As a matter of fact, then for the first time I saw the results of the real "impact" of RPG shots on tanks ... T-54 (towers still with "pockets") and T-55. Neat holes from the "nails". Unfortunately, I somehow did not think about the historical value of those photos.

[haron]

On 1, 10, 9 photos. additional booking on the tank turret. I've seen this only on Czech T-62s "Kladivo".
Are they "Czechs" in the sense? theoretically, could they throw equipment from the west there, or did they do something similar in the USSR?

This is a T-62M with "Ilyich's eyebrows".

[Yankuz]

I served at this in 1987! Normal car. Now, of course, better.

[Lieutenant colonel]

It became normal after the Meteor stabilizer was upgraded to Meteor - M. And so there was no force to shoot from the first M-k - because of the additional armor of the tower, the stabilizer "did not hold".

[Footmansur86]

This modification was made specifically for Avgan. If I’m not mistaken, there is additional protection against mines and land mines.

[tm70-71]

..... and welded add. the armor that is in front of that on the sides

[tm70-71]

Then there was Czechoslovakia, which has the "most advanced" tank idea in Europe

[alexng]

Now - this is Slovakia. It was there that these technologies worked. In a zone called the Czech Republic there were no such industries.

The last director of Czechoslovakia, Gustav Husak, was a Slovak. One of the options for de-agrarianizing Slovakia was the transfer from the Czech Republic and the organization of new weapons enterprises in Slovakia. Something similar to Khrushchev-Crimea-Ukraine. The brain of all technologies sat on Skoda and H \ zbroevke.

[demon ada]

our story
it is necessary to know and remember

[Uruska]

It was probably very difficult to save and transport such pictures.

[yustas]

Yes, the memory is scary, but a great thing, thanks for the photo, I’ll try to dig from my parents, maybe there’s something ...

[omsbon]

Old photos, they are becoming more valuable and interesting.
So I went to see my albums.

[Black]

And I liked the "occupant" "Sergei Salnikov with the Afghan war sarboz ....".

[Garrin]

Just thank you!!!

[Cadet787]

Memory, like a wound - does not heal !!

[kopar]

Thank you for such photos. Looking at them, you remember the fathers. They thought that their children would certainly not fight .......

[zemlyak]

Levchik behind a machine gun, so young.

Sounds cool! Yes, what only in Afghanistan was not! Thanks for the photo.

[Akhtuba73]

Artists in support of the army ... it was like that. We went to a warring country. And now? And they don’t shoot like, but they’re taking

[wow]

I was in Shindant with my regiment. September 88 - February 89. It was calm. On the eve of withdrawal.

[gold]

not, well, it’s clear in the photo it’s clear, the people are wild- the Avgans

[Moreman]

"Dushman Katyushas" smiled. The flight of engineering thought straight ahead.
