I have here a question arose and in a long-base crap HOW? does the crew get in?
what only through the anus?

[makarov]

What can I say? In principle, the information in order to give an assessment is rather small. Its purpose is not indicated. As far as I understood from the gadgets in the photo, the module is controlled from the inside. By what is stated, the unit is not quite bad.

[major071]

Indeed, little information. I looked at Wikipedia - one in one the same article with the same photos. Although the photo looks good.

Everything is known in battle ....

[ramin_serg]

I agree, but some people confuse him with the BTR-80, although they have different tasks

[Sunjar]

As for me on armored vehicles only "terrorist" on battle donkeys can be driven and even then not always, if the enemy has something large-caliber, then not everything is so smooth.

[ramin_serg]

To the latest armored vehicles and to whom donkeys,
I repeat that this technique is designed to transport personnel in dangerous directions and to strengthen roadblocks from closed and fortified positions

[Orik]

I was always terrified and pinned by the appearance of South African armored vehicles. Where do such designer "delights" come from ???

[Ihrek]

Appearance is certainly ugly. Although this is not the main thing.

[ramin_serg]

Agree
But the widespread use of this technique in African wars has shown that it was not by design but by stamina and combat usefulness that it earned the name of one of the best armored personnel carriers

pinned the look of South African armored vehicles

why do you need an appearance ..... You're not going to the podium with these cars and fight ... and explode .... and the chance of staying alive in these vehicles is high. at least they are sitting inside, and not at the stern, like on an IFV or an armored personnel carrier ...

[da113]

This armored car can scare Africans in the desert armed with light automatic weapons ... In urban real-life conditions, the Matador will be very vulnerable, it will clearly have nothing to protect from firing from the upper floors !!!

[ramin_serg]

In urban battles, a matador cannot be sent in front of a ram, however, like any lightly armored vehicles, they have the task of supporting manpower

[smersh70]

Quote: da113

In urban conditions of a real battle, Matador will be very vulnerable, he will clearly have nothing to defend against shooting from the upper floors !!!

..you probably have no info on Karabakh. there are no cities, for your information ..... everything is destroyed and plundered .......... bare spots ........... so that city battles do not shine for us ..... and if there are 2-3 districts, then you are not familiar with home architecture and city buildings ........ there are no 5 floors .... maximum 2 storey houses. .... but mostly 1 floor ........

[kirieeleyson]

and so all aim at Karabakh in the near future? And the fact that in Armenia the Russian military base with the direct purpose of protecting Karabakh from the military claims of both parties, you omit? Or is there still confidence that we will maintain the status quo?) Do you see what the matter is, these are not idle questions, Tbilisi also did not immediately decide on a direct adventure, the conflict smoldered for a decade, and everyone knows the result .. I really hope that the neighbors (Armenia-Azerbaijan) will nevertheless find a compromise solution to this difficult situation and will cease to breed with each other. Still, the Turks should not be pulled into this epidemic, otherwise all these injections threaten to turn into a serious war, where the role of Azerbaijan is still uncertain and it is a pity if good-neighborliness is violated.

[ramin_serg]

1. We always said that wars cannot be avoided
2. On a legal basis, will the Russian 102nd base enter Azerbaijan? Karabakh not Armenia base status is limited by Armenia
3. Have you maintained the status quo? In my opinion no
4. As for the dog, choose the words
5. This Russia violates the good-neighborly conflict that created the Karabakh problem and keeps the Problem relevant in order to keep both countries dependent. SO DO NOT NEIGHBORHOOD

[kirieeleyson]

Quote: ramin_serg

But a few UN resolutions for you, of course, are nothing more than pieces of paper, judging by your words.

Quote: ramin_serg

On a legal basis, will the Russian 102nd base enter Azerbaijan? Karabakh not Armenia base status is limited by Armenia

I did not write that the Russian Federation will enter Azerbaijan. You correctly noted that the Russian base is present to protect the sovereignty of Armenia on the basis of allied relations and the fact that Armenia is a member of the CSTO.

Quote: ramin_serg

Did you maintain the status quo? In my opinion no

Our opinions, unfortunately, or fortunately, are not taken into account, the Foreign Ministries of the countries participating in the conflict are working on this, and the Russian Federation acts as an arbiter and dominion in geopolitics in this area of ​​the globe. I do not think that you will deny it.

Quote: ramin_serg

As for the dog, choose the words

This is a speech circulation, quite common in Russian. Read Chekhov, Gogol, Russian classics for understanding, we are not playing diplomacy here on the site, but discussing problems to preserve the common values ​​of peoples, for that matter. So do not be offended.

Quote: ramin_serg

This is Russia violating the good neighborliness that created the Karabakh problem and keeping the Problem relevant in order to keep both countries dependent. SO DO NOT NEIGHBORHOOD

Join the CSTO, you will be happy. This is a purely geopolitical issue, our claims as the almamater of the USSR are not limited to the territory of the Russian Federation, and this is correct, in my opinion.

[smersh70]

Quote: kirieeleyson

, so all of these are aiming for Karabakh in the near future?

no .. you first ask permission))))))

Based on what documents are you saying, please ask ...

[kirieeleyson]

Quote: smersh70

Well, actually ask.

Quote: smersh70

Based on what documents are you saying, please ask ...

Because Russia and Armenia are allies. No documents are needed for this. There is no commercial relationship between them as with Azerbaijan. Russia will not fight for Azerbaijan, but it will be for Armenia. Armenia is included in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) common air defense system (quote from Konstantin Sivkov, vice president of the Academy of Geopolitical Problems.) In my opinion, an exhaustive answer. In general, the base is present more to maintain the geopolitical balance in my opinion, since Azerbaijan is very zealously attracting Turkey to the territorial dispute.

Quote: smersh70

than hope .. better draw your outpost .. and peace will come immediately .......

Well, in general, I’ll tell you in words of Shoigu - wherever we want, we set it there, taking into account the CSTO treaty and allied relations with Armenia. Frankly, my position is conciliatory, since in the USSR we together were practically one country. It is not necessary to interpret my words as the fact that I or we are strictly confrontational in relation to Azerbaijan. Something like this.

How so?

[Humpty]

Quote: GES

How so?

Even a snowcat is not capable of any long independent rise with a steepness of 60 degrees. Often in the characteristics of the technique, the value of the overcome rise of 30 degrees appears, but even at 30 degrees, only the equipment that is "sharpened" only for this can move continuously.

[Ihrek]

Well done Azerbaijanis are quietly arming themselves, unlike Armenia, which is waiting for Russia to plant something.

[Saboteur]

Armenia also does not sit still. How much the economy allows as much and buy. Armenia, unlike Azerbaijan, does not sit in an oil puddle. These Marauders and Matadors in the Karabakh mountains will become mass graves.

[ramin_serg]

1. In addition to oil, Azerbaijan has gas, cotton, industry, agriculture, etc. But the most important thing is that with all neighbors (except you Armenians) they get along unlike Armenia
2. Secondly, I do not think that you are Nastradamus and you can accurately predict the outcome of the 2nd Karabakh war (and it will be sooner or later)
3. during the 1st Karabakh war there were high losses (from both sides) of personnel from mines and shelling during transportation (on old collective farm vehicles and carriages) Marador should solve this problem
4. And as for the mass graves, this only time will show who and where and how.

[Saboteur]

It’s good that you all have 90% of the budget from oil and gas. The question is that this technique will only go after taking strong points. And there are plenty of mass graves in Karabakh. The great leader in 1993-94 provided this.

[ramin_serg]

I did not know that you work at the Ministry of Economic Development of Azerbaijan and you know how many percent of profit from oil

[Rus86]

a door like a hatch, like he

[propolsky]

The car is South Africa, the roof of the company is in France, I brought a lot of them around Africa, everywhere there were French representatives. So the machine is nothing but heavy for transportation.

[Krugov]

control of a 14,5 mm machine gun (KPVT?) can be done from the inside, but reloading? And the replacement of the barrel (those who know KPVT will understand), there is not even an armor shield! Any owner of a "combat donkey" from the PM can paralyze a combat unit. The scheme is automobile, bridges are installed, the suspension is spring, Maybe it will withstand 6 kg of TNT, but after the explosion it will definitely not go anywhere. And the hatches are ***! A mechanism to disperse African fighters for some rights.

MPAP is intended for delivering infantry to the combat zone. MPAP is not a tank to attack enemy positions. Is it really so difficult to understand this. Or do you think that we don’t understand anything and are going to fight on these machines?

I was minusanuli and the reason was not given. Or am I wrong that Armenia has no oil?

[Saboteur]

A country that has had 20 years to prepare for war with Azerbaijan will have no problems burning these cars.

[ramin_serg]

Israel also prepared for a long time the defense of the Sinai Peninsula and spent several billion dollars on it, but one well-organized art raid and Suweish was forced (look at the wikipedia)
And Azerbaijan has been preparing for 20 years to fight with all possible technology and tactics

[Saboteur]

Desert is one thing to defend another mountain. Secondly, Israel fought on two fronts against two armies.

[ramin_serg]

Know how to listen and read said look at Wikipedia
The length of the channel is 200 m. The right bank, with the help of bulldozers, is raised by 35-50 m. A solid line of defense. 3 lines. 2 lines of defense. Tanks with oil for flooding and prolonged ignition.

Quote: Saboteur

in order to prepare for war with the AR

..that is in addition-- Armenia wants to purchase self-propelled artillery mounts of the M-36 Jackson class of tank destroyers from Croatia.
Armenia appealed to the Croatian government with a request to donate M-36 Jackson tank destroyers from World War II.
For what purpose these installations will be used by the Armenian side, it is not known. The decision in this regard should be made by the Government of Croatia.
Equipped with a 90 mm cannon, the M-36 has been widely used by the American army since 1944 in World War II and the Korean War. Subsequently, the army of the former Yugoslavia equipped this tracked vehicle with a 500 horsepower diesel engine removed from the T-55 tanks. During the civil war in Yugoslavia, the Croats used these machines.
The crew of the 29-ton M-36 consists of 5 people.
In addition to the gun, they are equipped with a machine gun.

In place of Armenia, I would even buy these cars. At 0,5 EUR / kg.

[ramin_serg]

They probably want to play World of Tanks.

[lukke]

it seems to me the whole question in what quality will this miracle technology be used (the fact that they are surprisingly mild to the Armed Forces, for me it is a police officer, well, or for border guards, internal troops)? If commander UAZs will change them - not bad, but if BMP (BTR) then I don’t understand anything ...

[Mairos]

This is something like a MRAP machine. This trend is now everywhere, this technique is very relevant in conflicts of "low intensity" - local and counter-guerrilla actions. The technique is useful - you can no longer just throw grenades and poke them out of small arms, like a regular truck or UAZ. In Russia, the Typhoons, Tigers, Wolves, and Bears are also being adopted. And it is right. This is not a battlefield vehicle, not an armored personnel carrier, therefore there is no special weaponry.

[ramin_serg]

This equipment is mainly supplied to the Internal Troops and for the BMP Army (BMP-3 is not in vain we buy from you)

It is not only a matter of Armenia, in the south of Iran, which is always trying to poke its nose and the north Caucasus is not very calm, just a conflict with Armenia accelerates the process of arming the army.

[delfinN]

Sorry, of course, but Azerbaijan and Iran are in different weight categories. So, all the same, Azerbaijan and Armenia. The superiority is both quantitative and qualitative. Armenia is not able to buy 4 billion evergreens from the Russian Federation. The freebie from the Russian Federation also ended in the 90s, so Russia is forced to maintain minimum parity. Otherwise, again through the sight at each other.

Of course, no one is going to fight with them, but you have to be ready for anything anyway.

[Arhj]

In the fall, there was a report about these machines in "Military Secret". The conclusion is something like this: this machine develops an amazing speed for its class, but it is not capable of fighting off roads. Due to the high center of gravity on bumps, the risk of overturning is too great. Personally, I got the impression that these cars are more for policemen than for military operations. But it should be borne in mind that everything depends on what tasks Azerbaijan defines for its army. Perhaps he needs just such machines. Azerbaijan already had the opportunity to choose and I don't think that the price was decisive in the choice.

[Roman 1977]

Well, the Armenians also do not sit back, and also purchase weapons from the latest Armenian acquisitions:
4 Chinese MLRS WM-80: 8 barrels with firing range 34-80 km
300-mm Chinese MLRS AR1A-analogue of the Azerbaijani "Smerch" with a firing range of 130 km
19 Israeli mortar Soltam K-6
Serbian large-caliber sniper rifles M-93 "Black Arrow"
English sniper rifles Accuracy International AWM for special forces.
Armenians are trying to produce their own weapons. For example, the N-2 MLRS for rocket-propelled grenades of the RPG-7 class, manufactured by the Armenian company Garniler.
