Tank biathlon is very indicative game

After a series of tank biathlon competitions, finally, it became possible to draw the first conclusions about the real technical condition and, accordingly, the level of combat readiness that the main combat teams have today Tanks Russian army. Tanks, I recall, are the main striking force of the ground forces in non-nuclear, and especially in a nuclear conflict. Tanks are that main tool in modern highly mobile warfare, which allows troops to carry out active offensive operations. Without them, any army retains the ability only for defensive actions and is therefore doomed. It is regrettable to admit that the conclusions are disappointing. To understand this, it is worth analyzing three main positions in sequence:
1. Real conditions in which modern main battle tanks can fight and actually fight.
2. Passport characteristics of tanks, which today form the basis of the Russian armored forces. As far as these tanks meet the conditions of the modern tank war and the conditions of the tank biathlon competition.
3. Competition conditions for tank biathlon and how these conditions correspond to real combat conditions, as well as the capabilities of the tanks participating in these competitions.

Real combat conditions. Modern main battle tanks (MBT) have the main armament in the form of powerful smoothbore or rifled guns of caliber from 105mm to 125mm. The main means of these artillery systems for defeating enemy armored vehicles is the armored-piercing pierced projectile (BOPS). For accurate targeting of guns to the target, modern OBTs have automated fire control systems comprising digital ballistic computers (CBV) or computers with an input information sensor system, laser range finders, as well as high-precision stabilizers of guns and sights. To search and detect targets at any time of the day or night, advanced optical, television and thermal imaging cameras are used associated with the OMS of the tank. In addition, many modern tanks also have a tank information and control system (TIUS), which significantly improves command control and intelligence capabilities of tank units. In addition, Russian, Chinese and Israeli tanks have a complex of guided missile weapons (URO), which serves both to increase the range of destruction of ground targets, and to combat aviation the enemy. As auxiliary weapons, modern tanks have from one to three 7,62-12,7mm machine guns. All this allows modern MBTs to effectively (with a probability of defeat of 70-80%) fire conventional shells from a place and in motion at a distance of 2000-3000m day and night, and missiles up to 4000-6000m day and up to 2500-3000m night. The effective range of machine gun fire is 1500-2000m day and night. Also, modern MBTs have diesel or gas turbine engines with a capacity of 800-1800 hp. which allows them to accelerate along the highway to 80 km / h and maintain an average speed on rough terrain of ~ 40 km / h.
As a result, the possibilities of modern MBT provide:
- range of artillery combat 2-3km day and night, from the spot and in motion.
- missile range 4-6km day and 2,5-3km at night.
- effective range of machine-gun fire 1,5-2km day and night, from the spot and in motion.
- speed up to 40km / h on the ground and to 80km / h on the highway.

Passport characteristics of tanks. Who take part in tank biathlon competitions. To date, the main and most numerous tank in service with the Russian army is the MBT T-72B. It is these machines that take part in tank biathlon competitions, at least in the Russian Championship. What will be used at international competitions is not yet known. So, T-72B, created in the middle of 80-s of the last century, is still a reliable, powerful and very effective means of warfare. Considered one of the most powerful tanks in the world. Actively used today, although it has long been not the last word of technology. Open the manual for T-72B and look:
Mass: 44,5t.
Dimensions: 9530mm / 3460mm / 2226mm.
Protection: combined booking (KB) + hinged dynamic protection (NDZ) + onboard rubber-fabric screens (OM) + 902B “Tucha” smoke screen system + anti-nuclear protection (ESD) + protection against napalm.
Armament:
- 125mm GP 2A46M + AZ, Vn = 1700-1800m / s, DPV = 2100m, rate of fire 6-8 vyy / min, shells BOPS: ZBM32, ZBM44, OZH: OZHE, ZPMX, ZFMX, ZFMX, ZFMX, ZFMX
- 7,62mm PKT machine gun.
- 12,7mm machine gun NSVT.
OMS:
- semi-automated 1А40-1: ТБВ + DVO + ЛД - complex ТПД-К1, DVO + ik - device 1К13-49, DVO + ik - device ТКН-3М + stabilizer 2Э42-XNX.
Power plant and mobility:
- V12 B-46-1 diesel engine with 840l.s power. + 7 / 1 Manual.
- Maximum speed on the highway 60km / h.
These TTHs provide the T-72B tank with a direct shot range at targets of the “tank” type 2100, detection and accurate firing of projectiles in the afternoon from place and from the course to the distance to 4000-5000. Effective projectile firing during the day is limited by the capabilities of the LMS and is ~ 2500. The maximum firing range of the OFS is approximately 10km. Missile tank can accurately and effectively shoot at 4000. Effective shooting from 7,62mm PKT machine gun in the afternoon 1500. From “Cliff” with 12,7mm NSVT machine gun to 2000. At night, things get much worse. T-72B's target detection range and effective shooting at them is limited by highly imperfect ik-instruments. At night, all types of weapons T-72B can effectively fire on 800 in passive mode and up to a maximum of 1200 in active mode. The tank can accelerate on the highway to 60km / h and maintain speed in 30-40km / h over rough terrain. As you can see, the characteristics of the T-72B tanks participating in the competition, although not fully, but partly meet the modern requirements of a tank war. "Neud" can be put mainly on part of the night battle and battle in bad weather conditions. During the day you can war.

Terms of the tank biathlon competition. Obviously, the conditions of the tank biathlon competition much softerthan real combat conditions. For example, competitions are held exclusively during the day, and therefore there are simply no estimates for the very important phase of the night battle. Shooting only from the spot and only at fixed targets. Targets that mimic enemy tanks are at a distance of 1800m, 1700m and 1500m - the distance to the distance of any modern tank, including and for T-72B. The target for firing rockets, imitating the enemy helicopter is located at a distance of just 2000, which again does not correspond to reality. What is the point of firing rockets at such distances, if the gun is definitely better before the 2-2,5km? The target for firing 12,7mm of the NSVT machine gun is at all just 900m and also simulates an enemy helicopter. The route is laid along a dirt road with overcoming a water obstacle and a track bridge. For a mistake relies 500-meter penalty area. That is, it is obvious that the shooting conditions for such monsters as T-72B are (its capabilities are listed above) and other modern MBTs, just for children. In principle, with a certain skill and the condition of a fully operational state of the tank, in such competitions good results can be shown on T-34-85 or EC-2 since the Great Patriotic War.

How does our main tank T-72B show itself in such conditions? After reviewing several competitions, I come to the conclusion with bitterness that this is not good. Not all of course, but very many. And the problems, which is very important, relate primarily to shooting. Given that the conditions for it and so perfect. Consider the first exercise: BOPS shooting at three targets at 1800, 1700 and 1500 distances. Of course, quite a few tanks hit all these targets without a single miss and knocked out 100%. So it should have been - the direct shot range of the powerful X-NUMXmm T-125B gun (at which the projectile does not rise above the target) is 72m, i.e. the trajectory of its projectile at a distance 2100m, 1800m and even more so 1700m is almost a straight line. Especially since, I repeat, the conditions for firing are ideal - the fire is fired, the target is stationary, and the T-1500B MSA has a laser range finder and automatically calculates the distance it has measured. But there were quite a few tanks that missed! In addition, several tanks never hit the target! How to explain it? The gunner has nothing to do with it - to miss the mark from such a distance you just have to be blind. Problems in non-shooting or LMS errors of these T-72B. These obviously technical problems were observed by many. Manifested in the form of stable underflights. And what will happen in real combat? Where will Abrams not be in 72m, but in 1800km and will move at the same time? Even more dismal results shows rocket shooting. Despite the laser semi-automatic aiming and 2,5% the probability of hitting a target from any distance (according to the manual), many manage not to hit the target from a distance of 80 and lose a missile. How is it going? After all, at this distance, a serviceable tank should also knock out 2000% with ordinary shells. The problems are apparently again in the unimportant technical condition of the tanks. But the real helicopter will maneuver, and it can turn out to be not on the 100km, but on the 2km. What then? At the end of the analysis shooting from anti-aircraft machine gun NSVT. The powerful 4mm machine gun is rigidly fixed on the tank's "Rock" of the tank and therefore does not bounce, but is exceptionally stable in shooting. Powerful cartridge 12,7mmx12,7mm with a heavy 108-gram bullet. High initial speed and huge bullet energy. For comparison, snipers are firing from 48mm caliber sniper rifles with a small and light (in comparison with NSVT) bullets. At the same time they hold their "sniper" in their hands, and the only mechanical stop is just the bipod, which is not fixed. At the same time get from 7,62m to human figure for a sniper a common thing and is not considered to be a record. It would seem that a huge 12,7mm machine gun with heavy bullets from the same distance (900) rigidly fixed on the frame should easily put all 25 bullets in the center of the target imitating helicopter (for more people). But what we see. Hits are quite rare. To hit a target under the terms of the competition, you need to hit it at least once. The cartridges are given 25 pieces. And hit the target of them 2-3. Some even manage to release all 25 cartridges into the milk. It is in the contour of the helicopter with 900. What will happen in reality? As for overcoming the track, the driving performance of competing T-72B claims is much less. Of course, there are sometimes problems, but on the whole, the T-72B confirms its high road performance: normal acceleration, good speed, smoothness and good handling.

Conclusion: Approximately 30-50% of T-72B tanks have some technical problems with the SLA, which do not allow them to hit enemy targets even in ideal conditions. What will happen to them in real conditions (see pukt 1: night, rain, bad weather, large distances in 1,5-2 times and moving targets that actively counteract) do not even want to think. At the same time, fully serviceable, regulated T-72B with tuned SLA showed that, at least in the daytime, they still remain powerful, reliable and accurate death machines.

And if you invite "them"? What will happen in international competitions? Of course, the Western "friends" will bring them their best models of armored vehicles in excellent condition. To put up against them the usual, average T-72B from the average military unit, as is done on the inside of Russian competitions - just disgrace. "Abrams" and "Leclerc" on a helicopter target with 2000 will hit 100% with shells, while ours will be smeared with missiles ... On the other hand, to bring specially prepared equipment, which is not in the existing troops, is also stupid. There are two ways out. Before the competition, make the most thorough adjustment, adjustment and repair of all T-72B tank systems (especially the SLA). Or send them the latest T-90A tanks, which have a much more advanced SLA and powerful engine. Well, the crews in them should be the best of the best. I hope that even with this we will have no problems.

Quote: kagorta

And the officer’s crew and the tank are shamanized ..

\ The set-off was such at the show-offs when they planted me instead of a gunner, and my company commander was with me.
three out of three then laid. it was a glorious moment in my life in three minutes I went a glorious path from rewarding with a nominal watch from the fleet commander to dismissal from the ranks. I won’t lie about hours - the class of guys who saw this from the outside, but about the dismissal, the commander beat us off for two weeks. it’s only saved that three shots three goals. and shot from T64a this is with an optical rangefinder.

[tomket]

Americans have shooting statistics, so there at a distance of 5000 m, on the way 80% of hits, actually, while we are proud of nothing, well, perhaps only because we realized the importance of training.

[kagorta]

I believed that 4000 m is the maximum distance for shooting, and normal, well, a maximum of 3000 m. But really, you can talk about 2500 m. Where does this statistic come from?

[10kAzAk01]

... mdya, the reality is not WoT ...

[Professor]

Moreover, I repeat, the conditions for firing are ideal - the fire is fired, the target is stationary, and the T-72B control system has a laser rangefinder and automatically fulfills the distance measured by it.

Plus, the target is optically contrasted (red, yellow) in conditions of perfect visibility.

[leon-iv]

Professor
As a familiar tanker commented to me. All these problems were due to the fact that the tanks are not "Native" for example, the Air Defense Forces serves on the T-80B and BV. And there is completely different and LMS and dynamic characteristics. For Them were chosen so that the Colleagues from the CSTO felt themselves normally. For the same T-72B3 or T-90A hides the old people in terms of the OMS and dynamics. T-80 is similar. I would like to see how they would have performed on their own tanks.

[Professor]

I have already heard this theory, but have never met official confirmation anywhere.

[leon-iv]

but I haven’t met official confirmation anywhere.
from whom?
Press Service of our MO Su-25 is called a fighter. I beg of you

[Professor]

Agree that this is more like rumors and excuses and somehow strange that all the crews came from eighty. Like this is the most massive tank in the army.

[leon-iv]

We have the main tank of the T-80 army now, for a number of reasons, are changing to the T-72 in new versions.
The T-72s were chosen by the CSTO members.
Agree T-72B nothing to catch against the T-80B / BV / U.

[Crang]

The main tank we had and is T-72B. The number of T-80BV is much less. They are in even worse condition than the T-72B (a problem with spare parts). And the results with the T-80BV will most likely be about the same.

[kostya_a]

I would shake the hand of the one who would take a non-native barrel and planted in the bullseye from the first cartridge!

[Alekseev]

Some allegations by the author are suspicious.
1. For shooting in "biathlon" BOPS is used.
Usually (including for security reasons, taking into account the size of the firing range), practical or HE shots are fired with aircraft fuses that ensure self-destruction of the projectile.
2. The author's statement about allegedly having a high accuracy of the ZPU machine gun.
Say, the NSVT machine gun is rigidly fixed. But the backlash of the bearing in pursuit of the commander's cupola is quite large, and when firing, the machine gun throws "good". No wonder 25 cartridges are given to hit a rather large target (cow ), and not 5. Comparisons with a sniper rifle are inappropriate here and immediately give out a "great" theoretician.
But here is how the preparation of tank weapons for firing is carried out at these events - "there is a great secret."
Who cooks - the competitors themselves or "good uncles", and maybe "sucking" takes place? What vehicles are provided new, fully operational or, in general, serviceable from a combat training group?
And in this case there are no trifles.
Considering that earlier there was a lot of "glove compartment" in ostentatious events, and with felbd furniture it was not only not eliminated, but also blossomed in a magnificent color, the version of the technical non-readiness of the tanks is quite likely (not verified, not adjusted).
As it is quite probable that the crews for the "biathlon" were not sent the best (did the "reforms" leave whom to select?), And even from other types of tanks they did not have time to get used to.

[cth; fyn]

Take a closer look at the shape of the shells that fit into the cars, it is clearly visible that this is at least a BPS.

[Alekseev]

Quote: cth; fyn

I looked closely ...
Well, there are no miracles in the world, firing practical shells (ammunition without explosive charge)
For those who, no, are not in the tank, in an armored train : it should be so!
And then I already thought that one of the military commanders drove a little mind - to let BOPS shoot at this training ground!
But no, the scribbler theorist is noble. (Nonsense)
This may not be so important for the inexperienced reader, but the professional cuts the ear and creates a legitimate distrust of the article.
Why talk about "high matters" if you don't even know what kind of shell is being fired?

[GekaSever-GSVG]

The shape of the projectile shows that it is cumulative, with spikes in front and 5 stabilizers. What do you think is a practical shell. We always shot decommissioned. Yes, and the correspondent-brehlo, like a shell can weigh 6 kg, what kind of amendments do you need to make TBV.

[Andrew 447]

Really fired a practical shell.

Is this okay !? It should be? In any case, a 12,7mm bullet rigidly fixed on a "dead" base should to be more precise than any manual sniper by an order of magnitude. If you are a "practitioner" and consider it all normal practice, then mascara the light.

And chew the sawdust!
I don’t think it’s really normal, but it is ...
Additionally, NSVT anti-aircraft machine gun is designed for completely different purposes than a sniper rifle.
For him, the goals are more, and the fire, mostly barrage.
It is believed that concentrated fire of a tank platoon in one helicopter is necessary for sufficient effectiveness.
Yes, and 12,7 mm rounds of ammunition in a tank of a tank is only 300.
How many MZA shells on average are needed to destroy one helicopter-plane? That's it.
NSVT on the tank is auxiliary weaponry, but if the fire of anti-aircraft machine guns of a tank company leads to the defeat of one enemy helicopter, this is very good, and two are super excellent.
Yes, it’s a hindrance to the pilots, the disruption of the combat mission of the helicopters of the enemy’s army aviation - and that’s good.
Yes, and the infantry can be slashed, especially with MDZ bullets.
Almost like an AGS coming out!
But with a sniper rifle (firing range 200-900 m) in terms of accuracy, you can compare the adjusted FCT with an unworn barrel. There are no backlashes.
Yes, and the tank gun itself (at the same distances, of course)
A stupid gunner, if he confuses the electric trigger buttons, always breaks the lift with a projectile, although he aims at the machine-gun sight scale. Great trajectory flatness and short distance to the target, however.

[arutun]

I agree on the targets, it is necessary that the target looks (has contours and color) as a modern tank, and the targets should be different. 1 Tank (target must move), 2. BMP (also moves) 3. House (non-moving target).

“Abrams” and “Leclerci” from a 2000m helicopter target will hit 100% with shells, while ours will missiles with missiles ....
We have many members of the forum (as well as the author of this article) refers to people who shout "We are all bad, while others are doing well", although there are others who are ready to shower everyone with hats.
You need to look at everything objectively, try to ride a tank, jump out of it, then jump, load the tape into a machine gun and hit the target at 800m. And do not say that every sniper will also do this.
The same with other targets, it’s not for you to sit at the computer and poke on the mouse button.
The fact that the (red) tank smeared, here I am sure that the matter is in the settings because, it was this tank in the first round and in the final that smeared when shooting from a cannon.
Again, if you look at the situation in Syria, then the tanks there do not shoot at 2-3 km, but at the tanks, but they shoot mainly from the houses and fortifications and the distance there is a maximum of 1 km. Of course, a tank should hit another tank on the battlefield, but paradoxically, this is not the main goal for the tank now.
And it’s not at all correct to compare the T-72 with the 34th and the IS tank.
Although I agree that the T-72 is really outdated, but it is still in service, our tankers need to learn how to fight, and win. And I really liked the contest, I think the next one will be even better.
And no one will come to the international competition, look. It's one thing on the forums pi..kami measured, another thing is to come and be taxed. Yes, that's right, I believe that the shortcomings of the first biathlon will be taken into account, and we will do everything.

To say honestly why I don’t understand, I don’t understand. Why should I jump out of charge before the border? Why can’t I immediately load the tank with ammunition?

I watched the first issue, and leafed through (watched the shooting) the fourth. Improvements if it is honestly on the face.

[Realist58]

Well, loading in front of the border is obvious - the safety of spectators and generals.
Suddenly, one of the tankers has a tooth for the authorities))

[Kars]

Well, you certainly know better about tankers. But personally, it seems to me that the standard should still apply to loading the full tank of the tank.
In principle, this is also a good competition to load a full BC for a while.

That's how everyone says who has never worked out this standard, nor did they work out replacing the wedge of the tank gun, loading the battery into the tank. You sweat because after good sex you don’t sweat. and you want the whole conveyor for a while. Surely someone will be killed.

Well, nothing, nothing can realize cassette charging with TZM on Armata.

Quote: vorobey

and you want the whole conveyor for a while. Surely someone will be killed.

And how during a DB nobody to crush? We actually planted the conveyor, loaded it, and again into battle.
Why didn’t it happen? With this approach they will shoot at the parapet ... I’m generally silent about the battle. In battle, the target appears for seconds and usually moves.
And just after the competition for the prize of the Canadian army (this is 1989), where the abrams merged Leo cleanly (by the speed of detecting targets), he received a panoramic sight of the commander. How many tanks do we have with a panoramic sight in the troops? No one! T-90AM is not accepted for service.
The crew training methodology must be changed, complicate detection, increase ranges, shoot at night, etc.

But it seems to me personally that the norm should still apply to loading a full tank tank.

And not only you think so.
Such a standard was and is for each MBT sample (if the feld furniture with macarque was not canceled)
About an hour, if memory serves, on t-72.

[GekaSever-GSVG]

Loading the full ammunition in the T-80 28 min.

[Andrew 447]

There is no such standard in the course of firing

[Alekseev]

Quote: Andrey 447

There is no such standard in the course of firing

In addition to the COP, there is a compilation of standards for combat training of SV

[GekaSever-GSVG]

There is indeed a norm, but it is fulfilled mainly only in educational units, and then they relax. Although when I was in all tank units there were training places with the Ministry of Health, where this standard was worked out.

[GELEZNII_KAPUT]

I watched the 4th issue, there really wasn’t one tank to get anywhere, but even he had a lot of dope, I think the representatives of UVZ draw conclusions about the shooting, this is the whole point of the competition.

[Andrew 447]

Most likely, when firing a practical projectile, instead of the KUM ballistics, there was the BK ballistics, only this can explain the shortages.

[JonnyT]

A tank, like any high-tech machine, requires tuning! All systems require calibration - this is normal! Crude factory tank should bring the crew under the troops

[Andrew 447]

What are you talking about, what settings, it's not a piano. Only the correct alignment and adjustment. And the parameters entered correctly in the TBV

[Peaceful military]

I watched the first issue and was disappointed by the same, smeared, as they say, in black.

There are two ways out. Before the competition, thoroughly configure, adjust and repair all T-72B tank systems (especially the MSA). Or send them the latest T-90A tanks, which have a significantly more advanced FCS and a powerful engine. Well, the crews in them should be the best of the best. I hope that at least with this we will have no problems.

EXIT HERE ONE. It’s not for the biathlon to prepare tanks and crews, but in all the Armed Forces to bring them in full order (nobody has canceled bringing weapons to battle) and REALLY RE-EQUIPMENT before it's too late. And so it all comes down to window dressing again.

say it right. and if you think about it, probably the best crews have taken to biathlon.
you only have to guess about the rest. And about tanks too. Surely they brought those cars that were better than those that are in parts.

[shinobi]

These are all games from the past century. Necessary of course, but nonetheless the past. At the moment, the very concept of using tank weapons in the conditions of using modern individual PTS infantry. I draw the attention of the society to the fact that practically all the leading tank manufacturers, except us, have frozen new tanks. Everyone is waiting for the new concept to settle down and find itself in technical requirements.

[Avenger711]

What a concept, there is simply no money.

[GELEZNII_KAPUT]

Quote: shinobi

I draw the attention of society to the fact that practically all leading tank manufacturers, except us, froze the development of new tanks. Everyone is waiting for the new concept to settle down and find itself in the technical requirements.

What is such a concept ?! The tank must be reliable and hit the target and that the% of chances in it were minimal, the whole concept! And in general, why are they waiting there and why should we wait for them ?! Or are they waiting until we make the "Armata" and adapt to us?)))

[Realist58]

Saturation ATGM is not only the infantry. Therefore, I am personally very surprised by the extremely weak actions of our military to reduce the possibility of hitting a tank with these means.
Yes, of course there are various proclamations about Armata and its super-duper multilevel protection, but ...
Why "Arena" or an analogue is not installed at least on all MBTs of the southern federal district, I don’t UNDERSTAND.

He also pinned a tank for urban combat, with an armored cup for the commander, a slam from the captured Georgian hammers.
Apparently for our designers, a remotely controlled machine gun is an unattainable task.

[Strashila]

The most important thing is not the show ... but the conclusions that should have been made.

[svskor80]

Crews must constantly drive and shoot in their tanks. And then at least in battle, at least in biathlon, there will be a decent result. And about the Abrams and Leclercs, too, there is no certainty that there will be 100% results - we are all human, and the pieces of iron have a peculiarity of "glitching".

They participate in their tanks. That is the point. see what a conventional technique can do, not a specially selected one. You see the results yourself.

[Mikhail m]

Before the competition, thoroughly configure, adjust and repair all T-72B tank systems (especially the MSA).

Do we hold tanks for competitions? Then about 5 pieces for the whole army is enough. It’s good that biathlon has revealed flaws. Now I would consider ways to eliminate them and maintain the combat readiness of all parts. not exhibits.

[Ivan Pavlov]

if the generals could still understand that there are still flaws ...

[alex-cn]

"conditions in the battles are softer than combat conditions" - and what does the usual biathlon correspond to the battle of skiers, or, more abruptly, of skiers-saboteurs? sport is sport.

[ed65b]

yes, if they start pretending to do nothing good, the whole point of this venture is just the competition of ordinary tank crews, though they should compete on their tanks and not on those that give. Moreover, judging by the article, those who give are in poor condition. the results are conclusions I think will make the level catch up.

[Regis]

- The T-72b took part in the competition only because the Armenians, Belarusians and Kazakhs have a vryatli, something better. If the Americans arrive, then the tank with the most advanced SLA will be from us. (t-72b3 or t-90a)
- Some crews recently moved to the t-72 with the t-80 - hence the errors
- There are also many mistakes due to the rush and excitement of the crews (this is not the case in ordinary firing)

Those, you want to say that the allies specifically showed tanks that can hit the target (and even then far from always) just stopping and aiming for a long time

[erased]

Good training, but the tasks need to be complicated, introduce night firing, slightly increase distances at moving targets, and introduce several targets for a while.
And the addition - from the FCT, shooting beyond 800 meters simply does not make sense. From NSVT - up to 1500.

[vietnam7]

As for the leclerc, it’s generally debatable, even at the parade, all his electronics are turned off, except for controlling the engine. Likely a tank with biathlon airplane electronics can show a good result, but in battle?

[Pacifist]

At the same time, getting into a human figure from 800m for a sniper is a common thing and is not considered some kind of record.

This, excuse me, you finger in ... the sky hit. 7.62 caliber sniper rifles have a maximum range of up to 2 km., BUT designed for firing at distances up to 300-500 meters. At a distance of 800 m, getting into a growth figure, for most army snipers with SVD, is an impossible task for many reasons. Shooting at such distances is owned by units. For these distances, for guaranteed target destruction, larger caliber rifles are mainly used. The general meaning of the article is correct, but this argument, excuse me, is not suitable.

[Rumata]

Quote: Pacifist

for most army snipers with SVD, the task is overwhelming for many reasons.

I don’t know how SVD, but for the M-24, for example, 700-800 meters, the standard distance at the shooting ranges. At 500 and below, they practically do not shoot at all, since even a disabled person will waste cartridges, 600m and up to 900-1000 ...

[Pacifist]

Weapons are completely different. M-24 manual loading, not semi-automatic. In combat conditions, especially a tight battle, a thing in itself. This is a special weapon.
I would not look at these disabled people at the shooting range with a spotter, but in the ravine with a wet ass, on the third day of laying, with gusts of wind down the slope, under the control of the green. Do not confuse warm with soft. They shot at the shooting range from the SVD at 800-900, but in real conditions the distance will be less. And do not bend, sniping requires training. A disabled person, as you put it, will be able to get even from 500 meters only after appropriate preparation and with the ability.

[Rumata]

Quote: Pacifist

Weapons are completely different.

Here it was possible to finish. SVD has never been an example of a good SNIPER rifle, this is a compromise between accuracy and argon / fire rate. I mean that the accuracy and / or range of snipers on the SVD example is not the most successful example.

Quote: Pacifist

This is a special weapon.

This is a standard sniper rifle in the US Army or Israel, for example. And shooting at 800 meters is a common thing.

Definitely, the author clearly does not know what shooting from SVD at such ranges is. Even for a good specialist, this is a rather difficult task.

[Realist58]

So the problem is not snipers and in teaching methods.
If a regular sniper from SVD fired only 1-2 times per service, and then by the method - "for five rounds, shoot somewhere", how can you expect stable, excellent results.

[IRBIS]

Quote: Realist58

So the problem is not in snipers, but in training methods.

The problem is range. It's only in the movies that everything is so simple. And if the target is not static yet, even a very good sniper with SVD will "wash" his hands at 800 meters. At this range, the aiming mark of the standard sight completely covers the target.

[Realist58]

What full-time sight PSO-1, or sighting bar ???
So the aiming bar is not intended for firing at a single growth figure at such a distance. This is for oversized purposes only.
And with the optics, I personally (I’m not at all a sniper, but they gave me twice for fun) hit 700 + m barrels.

[shitovmg]

It's good that there is tank biathlon! Further, in my opinion, how aviation should have its own "... Knights" and "Swifts"!

[major071]

In the 1989-1993 years, when I was a cadet of a tank school, we also had firing times every 2-3 of the month. We studied on 72-kahs, and the firing was from tanks that were in the supply battalion, and no one allowed us to run in and shoot them before firing. I don’t remember the number of exercises, but it was: hit a tank target from a place, then a moving BMP target and a machine-gun crew from the PKT. Always coped. It was the same with the move. Of course, we also had muffs, which from 5-meters to the elephant will not get into the railway station, but the bulk showed stable results.

[avg]

Since these years, it all began. And when in the beginning of the 80s I commanded a training battalion (commanders and gunners-operators for reconnaissance units), the cadets fired around the clock. And even at night the attendant picked up the ATGM on the electronic launches list. Otherwise, the minimum set 2500 starts were not gained. Prapora - the heads of the simulators worked in three shifts. Then, not only did the elephant get into the railroad, but any of the indicated eggs were shot. And the equipment is prepared before any shooting and checked as soon as possible, even during combat, and there are special simplified techniques for this.

[Zhenya]

By the way, I really like it, well done tank crews.

[fklj]

When the exercises with tank biathlon were shown on TV, I was surprised that the tanks were repainted. Now it became clear why.
As an element of combat training, you can’t imagine a better idea. But it’s annoying that the TV people from this next show staged. But will the t-biathlon take root in tank units? Or is this another window dress for TV?

[varov14]

Any exercises are underway, they broadcast to us from the TV screen - in general, everything is fine, and the war consists of particulars. Now, when everything is fine with the details, consider half of the work done, the second will depend on the ability of the enemy. And biathlon perfectly reveals particulars.

[max702]

I don’t believe that ordinary tanks were sent to the competition, but not prepared copies, it seems to me that it was the other way around, from the units the best cars were selected from those that were, and along with this, if possible, they shammed everything that they could, well, I don’t believe that they gave a standard technique for such an event without pre-training! It can’t be! And consequently, the condition and combat readiness of our tank troops is called Zh..PA !! If these are the best cars and the best crews then ..... As it is written above under ideal conditions and such results? The feeling that the crews assembled a week, the training was carried out the day before the start, the preparation of the technique came down to painting, I mean what if they were not able to organize a show (with which there was always no problem in the troops), then there is no need to talk about real work in the troops.

[avg]

I looked at the first stage of biathlon and was upset. I called my colleagues - the mood is similar. Once I had to shoot a lot at this training ground. Including, to conduct shows of the Central Committee of the CPSU and foreign delegations. If we had shot at least once in this way, I don’t even know what would have happened to us - they probably shot. And here it is not only a matter of technology. If the gunner does not correct the shooting, but, without changing the aiming point, stubbornly hammer into the parapet and the commander does not correct it - then what can I talk about here. Moreover, the goals do not appear unexpectedly and stand without time limit. The entire track is licked - a 40-centimeter-high gauge bridge, and then they manage to fall off it, the escarp is gouged and half as much as it should. When crossing the ford, the car is flooded and the crews are wet. Probably, many remember how, after passing the route, the inspector examined the crew - the faces were dirty, so they walked in a marching way - there are two points. But these are the best crews of districts. Other stages are better, but work and work, otherwise shame on the whole world. And change tanks on the T-90 without looking at the allies, let them also buy new ones, otherwise they will arm themselves with “leopards”.

It would be interesting to see this action with the participation of both Abrams and Leopards and someone else. And the fact that training in units should be appropriate without tank biathlon is a matter of course. And these competitions are not a hindrance to those studies. Teaching is for internal use, biathlon to increase ranking, attention and respect. At least for the youth who will serve. And ordinary civilians, and those who are in reserve, also want to watch military equipment not only in parades. And here it’s in action!

[Tourist Breakfast]

It would be interesting to see this action with the participation of both Abrams and Leopards and someone else

Canadians on "Leo" compete with amers on "Abrams":

[Pinochet000]

Let me remind you the conditions for fulfilling the standards for the prize of the Canadian Army and the statistics of the first five crews .... feel the difference.
21 tank platoons took part in the fight for the honorary trophy. The command of the Northern Army Group was represented by ten platoons (two from 1 ak of Belgium and 1 ak of the Netherlands, three from 1 ak of Germany and 2 brtd of the USA). The command of the Central Army Group was played by 11 platoons (three from 2 ak of the FRG, 5 and 7 ak of the USA, two from 4 mbbr of Canada).
In accordance with the conditions of the competition, tank crews as part of platoons fired from guns at 32 targets and machine guns at 80, which were lifting targets of tanks that appeared on 40 c, and human figures. The ammunition of each tank was 12 shells and 250 cartridges in the ratio of one tracer to three ordinary. In addition to the ammunition, four shells and 125 cartridges were issued, which could only be used with the permission of the judges.
Competitions included five stages. At the first shooting was carried out from a cannon, first at two, and then at four targets located at different distances. At the second stage, the crews fired from the machine gun at four targets that appeared 10 times, and from the cannon at two. The third stage - shooting from a cannon at eight targets set at the same range. The fourth stage included firing at a go at three targets from a cannon and at four 10 times appearing targets from a machine gun. At the fifth stage, the crews fired from the cannon, first at five, then at eight targets.
The results of the competitions were evaluated in points, which were summarized on the basis of the following indicators: 10 points were credited for defeating 32 targets from a cannon; 8,5 thousand - for the highest rate of fire with a scale of "target detection time - shot" from 1 to 40 with; 500 - additional bonus for losing 32 targets; 1600 - tank crew premium for hitting targets from 16 guns; 25 - for the defeat of each target with a machine gun (total points 2000). Thus, the maximum number of points that a platoon could theoretically score was 22 600.
Although the official winner among the tank platoons was not determined, the authoritative Austrian military magazine "Troup-Pendinst" gave their results, ten of which are shown in the table.
The official results of the competition: the first place was taken by the team of the Northern Army Group (the average number of points received by the tank platoon, 13 951), the second - the team of the Central Army Group (13 436).
As noted by the foreign military press, the experience of the competitions significantly influenced the course of combat training of tank units, units and formations. In the ground forces of NATO countries, the theoretical part of training in shooting from a tank was significantly reduced, more time was devoted to its practical implementation.

If we talk about the stability of shooting, the best platoon struck 31 out of 32 from the gun and 80 out of 80 from the machine gun, in 10th place the 27th gun and 78 from the machine gun. Moreover, the firing was carried out as part of a platoon, i.e., a regular KV commanded a platoon, distributed targets, etc., in addition, they fired at two sites on the move. well, they don’t paint targets in the colors of the rainbow.

Well, what can I say, the first pancake is always lumpy. The show turned out to be damp, These are not ready-made TV projects from the west to lamb and adapt to our mentality. In this part, we are weak, but the idea is good, a primordially Russian sport, the popularization of military service. before the children's conditions at the training ground and tankmen mazil, I don't think that they reflect the real combat state in tank units. Do not forget that this is all just a "TV show" and cannot be compared with the real training of tankers. Knowledgeable people, various masters, snipers will certainly spit and to say that they once fired MUCH better, but the younger generation is better off looking at such championships than house-2 or behind glass. I don't know, but you can't drag mine by the ears from the release of "biathlon".

[IRBIS]

You know, all this, in my opinion, is some kind of widely advertised bullshit. During it, the crews violate safety requirements and all possible Rules. For example, you cannot cross a track bridge by jumping over it. In reality - this is the first gear and oh-oh-very carefully, otherwise the tank "pulls" the bridge from under itself. The crew members get out with broken muzzles, and this is already a score of "two". Regular, well-organized shooting and driving exercises are a more effective way of teaching. It is effective, not spectacular. With a fool you can break a horseradish, why? To accustom the crews to the results at any cost? Only now the price will be high - disabled tanks and crew members.
Someone "at the top" wanted to stand out with an innovation? However, all this can end very sadly, security requirements cannot be violated - life proves this constantly.

[Realist58]

In general, I liked everything. I hope the conclusions on the command of the districts with consistently low results have been made, and the lyuli are issued in full.
I AM NOT A TANKIST, so my opinion is amateur.
I didn’t like the targets. IMHO, all should be the same color, and I would have made targets just like in biathlon. In my opinion, the best crews should not just fall into the silhouette, but beat weak spots (spit to the tanks).
And under the machine gun and ATGM, moving targets would not hurt.


Threat. It’s interesting if someone didn’t go to the position when firing a machine gun and ATGM would immediately go to the penalty loop, it would be counted, or the penalty time would be charged)))

I still can't understand why, after the first "international" race, where it was really necessary to have identical cars, there was no T-80, T-72B3 in all other issues? After all, they are in service !? Plus, there are rumors that the competition tanks are provided by local training. In the Uchebka, they naturally give out for pokatushek what they themselves do not mind, like they will break one hell ... And hence the not tuned OMS, chilled seals on the hatches, expired missiles, etc. etc. To stop this outrage, it is necessary that each Military District exhibit its own, anxiously "tuned" tank and "pumped-over" crew, then there will be struggle and entertainment. (PS: remove Gd for the sake of such "shooting" from a drone, it looks pathetic!)

[radio operator]

And if you invite "them"? What will happen in international competitions? Of course, the Western "friends" will bring them their best models of armored vehicles in excellent condition. To put up against them the usual, average T-72B from the average military unit, as is done on the inside of Russian competitions - just disgrace. "Abrams" and "Leclerc" on a helicopter target with 2000 will hit 100% with shells, while ours will be smeared with missiles ... On the other hand, to bring specially prepared equipment, which is not in the existing troops, is also stupid. There are two ways out. Before the competition, make the most thorough adjustment, adjustment and repair of all T-72B tank systems (especially the SLA). Or send them the latest T-90A tanks, which have a much more advanced SLA and powerful engine. Well, the crews in them should be the best of the best. I hope that even with this we will have no problems.

And there is. The following year, they agree with the Americans, Germans, and Israelis on an already more serious TB. Only we will exhibit already T-90. Wait and see.

[vorobey]

- effective machine gun range of 1,5-2km day and night, from a place and in motion

I read and wept. I realized that one of our abramophiles writes. I guessed.

Further, the eyes were watery even more.

Well, first of all, the T72 SLA is inferior to the T64 and T80, this is what tankers know. The stabilizer is 72 harder and the amount of retraction is higher.

In the second year of college, studying higher mathematics, and in particular probability theory, they thoroughly examined why exactly three shots are given to defeat target No. 12 if memory serves.

and the author probably is not aware that the first shot always has an error and is warming up.

In the spring, they argued with the Germans about tanks. he served on the first Leopard. They agreed on one thing that nowhere in Europe is there a theater with a visibility range of more than 2 km. Where and which abrams is 2,5 km or better yet with 4 km.

A powerful 12,7mm machine gun is rigidly fixed to the Utes cliff of the tank and therefore does not bounce, but is extremely stable in shooting. Powerful 12,7mmx108mm cartridge with a heavy 48g bullet. High initial speed and huge bullet energy. For comparison, snipers fire 7,62mm caliber sniper rifles with a small and light (compared to NSVT) remote control. At the same time, they are holding their “sniper” in their hands, and the only mechanical emphasis is just the bipod standing on the ground, which are not fixed. At the same time, getting into a human figure from 800m for a sniper is a common thing and is not considered some kind of record. It would seem that a huge 12,7mm machine gun with heavy bullets rigidly fixed on the bed from the same distance (900m) should easily lay all 25 bullets in the center of the target simulating a helicopter (more people). But what we see. Hits are quite rare. To hit a target under the terms of the competition you need to get into it at least once. Ammunition is given 25 pieces. And they hit the target of 2-3. Some even manage to release all 25 rounds into milk. This is a helicopter circuit with 900m.

Aw, great. and the author himself at least once tried to cope with this fool. Yes, and aiming a shot from the NSVT. This is archaism which as a result of modernization must be removed from 72.


I generally like vyvods especially the wording about goals and objectives. Why blame the car and not those who are in it.

And let the guests come. Although in reality we will look at what Abrams is capable of, and not according to Discovery stories and forum horror films.

.... The gunner has nothing to do with it - to miss from such a distance you just have to be blind.

Will you go bear with unshooted weapons? Guilty crew and the point. We were trained and shot we completely with the MSA turned off. and corrected the fire even if the first miss went.

But the trick is a sniper rifle, unlike an anti-aircraft machine gun, designed to solve completely different problems .
Enough for small arms to drag in temperature and pressure, enough wind already.
It is not necessary about the weight of bullets (not 10 times, but 4), 12,7 mm BS and larger sizes, here everything is not as clear as it seems.
