Cornet vs. General Abrams

275
How effective is Cornet in defeat tanks M1A1 and M1A2? What is the survival rate of these armored vehicles when fired?

The main fighting properties of the Abrams tank family are firepower, protection, mobility. Recently they added command manageability.



Tank "Abrams" has a classic layout scheme: the main armament is placed in a rotating turret, the control compartment - in the bow, the engine-transmission - in the stern of the hull. Poor booking of the roof, bottom and sides of the tank is one of the main drawbacks of the classic layout, which, in terms of adopting anti-tank ammunition attacking armored vehicles from above and below, has practically exhausted the possibilities of radical improvement.

Cornet vs. General Abrams


PROTECTION OF "ABRAMS"

The Abrams tanks have the greatest armor protection from the front side. With the modernization of the parameters of the armor resistance of the tank M1А2 (table 1) increased in 1,4 times compared with the tank M1, which was achieved due to additional modules from depleted uranium. Note that the anti-cumulative durability of the frontal protection of the М1А1 tank, equal to 700 mm, means that if the cumulative ammunition has 700 mm armor penetration, then the protection with this ammunition does not break through.



It is appropriate to ask the question: why did the Cornet scare the Americans? The answer is the distribution of the armor-piercing capability of the warheads of the Kornet missile when interacting with the frontal protection of the M1-X1 tank. After penetration of body armor, the unspent part of the cumulative jet (1000 mm - 700 mm) can penetrate another armor plate with a thickness of 300 mm, which provides a highly effective armor effect. In other words, if previously there were few cases of defeat of the Abrams by RPG-7 grenade launchers from the side and the stern from distances not exceeding 200 m, the presence of Baghdad’s Cornets would hit these tanks from any direction, using the range of this complex .

The side of the M1A1 tank (50 mm thick) and the screen placed in front of it, even with reactive armor (ERA), will not protect the crew and internal units from ATGM, RPG and BPS. At the same time, the vehicle has weak armor protection of the roof (thickness - 80-40 mm) and bottom (60-20 mm), which does not save from the impact, for example, of the self-aiming cassette element "Motiv-3M" (used in aviation ammunition and MLRS), as well as from the PTM-3 cluster anti-tank mine.



A comparative analysis of the armor protection of the M1А1 tank (М1А2) and the armor-piercing effect of anti-tank weapons (PTS) allows to note the following:
- the classic layout of the tank determined the high parameters of body armor only for the frontal parts of the turret and hull;
- weak booking of sides, roofs and bottoms does not ensure its survival from modern anti-tank weapons in combat conditions;
- In general, the tank's armor does not meet the conditions of future military conflicts with the use of advanced high-precision anti-tank weapons.

EFFICIENCY OF "CORNET"

This ATGM is second generation. The main advantage of the rocket is the high armor-piercing effect of the warhead. Initially, the complex was developed as self-propelled, but later began to be offered as portable to reinforce infantry units.



Using simulation computer simulation, the probabilities of hitting tanks M1А1 and М1А2 by the criterion of "loss of mobility or firepower" were determined. Under the loss of mobility means the failure of the engine, tracks and other nodes, as well as the driver. The loss of firepower is achieved by disabling the gun, its systems, as well as the gunner. The probability of hitting the M1А1 tank that is not equipped with a DZ, when attacking frontal zones, is 0,8, which is achieved due to the high armor penetration and sufficient armored combat performance of the missile. In Iraq, МХNUMXА1 tanks were without a DZ, since American commanders knew that Baghdad did not have a PTS with armor penetration significantly exceeding the resistance of the frontal protection of tanks. They did not even equip their DZ tanks, as this would have required significant financial costs, moreover, the dynamic loads on the undercarriage (total additional mass - 1 tons) of the already overloaded vehicle would increase.

THE MAIN TACTICAL AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE KORNET ATKM

Shooting range, m:
in the afternoon - 100-5500
at night - 100-3500

Control system:
- semi-automatic
- by laser beam

Warhead:
- tandem cumulative
- thermobaric

Time lag between undermines
preliminary and main charge, ms - 300
Penetration, mm - 1000
Rocket caliber, mm - 152

Weight, kg:
launcher - 19
rocket container - 27



And what is the survival rate of the M1А1 tank when firing a Cornet-E rocket in the forehead? To do this, according to the existing rules, we will do the following operation: subtract from 1 the probability of hitting the MXNXXX1 tank, equal to 1, and get 0,8, which indicates a fairly high risk of being hit on the battlefield by this rocket.

Thus, the simulation results made it possible to confirm the effectiveness of the “Kornet” during the shelling of the М1А1 tank in the conditions of the past military conflict. Therefore, it is understandable alarm US Department of State, which uses any tricks in its often unjust game. If Baghdad even had a few hundred Kornets, it would be necessary to organize a tank cemetery for the Abrams.

INFORMATION TO THOUGHT

One should not delude ourselves with the presented performance characteristics of the Kornet-E ATGM system. It should be noted that this complex was worked out according to the performance characteristics of 20-year-old, in which the parameters of DZ simulators and multi-layered booking of foreign tanks did not reflect the reality ("MIC" No. XXUMX, 8). As a result, Russian ATGMs with tandem warheads overcome an overseas remote sensing system with a probability of no more than 2003. The tandem DZ appeared abroad is an almost insurmountable barrier for Russian anti-tank guided missiles with tandem warheads.



When adopting the ATGM for armament, state tests were carried out under conditions that did not correspond to combat.

The use of a laser beam in the guidance system requires the absence of bushes, hills, smoke screens on the rocket's flight path. This circumstance, for example, in the West European theater of operations will not allow firing the Kornet rocket to the maximum range, since the terrain relief provides visibility of targets for no more than 2 km.

A further increase in survivability of American tanks will be carried out by installing an active protection complex that includes detection tools (special sensors for detecting anti-tank ammunition), tracking, destruction, and setting passive (smoke grenades) and active (interference transmitters for laser and infrared ATGM systems) interference.

One of the main features of the modification of the Abrams - the М1А2 SEP tank - is the presence of an on-board information management system (BIUS), which is connected to the automated control system of the tactical unit of the Ground Forces. The CICS carries out the display of the tactical situation on the display screen of the tank commander, and also transmits data on the location of the enemy objects and his troops. Installing BIUS on the M1А2 tank dramatically increases its survival in combat conditions.

The above measures to improve the protection of foreign armored vehicles require Russian designers to improve the shooting technology of tanks.

    Not bad 1000 mm for steel and 3000 mm for concrete. Penetration is almost absolute. And the price compared to the cost of a tank or bunker is ridiculous, I don’t know for sure, but I think no more or something about 5000-10000 $.

          When the rocket learns to shoot without PU then you will compare the cost of the rocket. Nevertheless, even with PU it will turn out to be cheaper than the tank by an order of magnitude. Tank is atavism.

                        Why people do not listen to reason. They are told that with modern tank protection systems, it has no advantages over BMPs. But the BMP in terms of armament is several orders of magnitude superior to the tank. BMP can hit low-flying air targets, conduct artillery fire, hit armored targets, fire afloat (I hope it’s not worth talking about the ability to swim and landing). It is possible to enumerate the advantages for a long time; no, the tank is big and shiny.

                    Dear Professor,
                    The fact is that the United States applied a new calculation of GDP, stuffing everything that is possible there: intellectual property and other intangible fixtures and similar crap.
                    Quote: “However, the US economy will still get something. At least on paper. To begin with, America, having produced virtually no added value, will add about 400 billions of dollars to the debit already in July this year. ”
                    Even with such a stretch, the pants on the pants planned to pull out the GDP to 3,2%. Bummer. Even “paper” turned out to be 2,5%. The states both lived and continue to live on borrowed money.
                    Infa in the internet on this issue abound.

                    About the tanks:
                    I would be very glad if other countries cease to produce and upgrade these main combat vehicles.
                    Do you need tanks? Well, just great. Happy for you. What do we have to do with it?
                    And in our country, theoretical TVDs are too diverse. This is the first session of the first year of the military school. Even there is no desire to discuss the types and types of weapons and the effectiveness of their use by units.
                    We just need them.

                      The master is the master. Once needed, let them be. From a technical point of view, the tank is the embodiment of the latest technology, so it is always interesting to see what's new in the world.

                I agree. until new ways have been devised to provide protection for the tank in the red. If tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are hit with equal efficiency, why overpay. And having more firing points on the battlefield, you can crush the enemy. But now BMP-3 in terms of armament completely surpasses the tank.

            The tank is not atavism. It is effectively used, and there is often no replacement tank at the moment. The tank was buried dozens of times. And, nevertheless, it is in demand. A soldier in body armor can be killed by a modern bullet or grenade. Does it mean that the soldier needs to be removed and he is not in demand. Aircraft can be destroyed by MANPADS.

The little country has a lot of tanks. They do not sell them. Why ramp up production? A tank will always be effective if there is no one left on the battlefield against ground and air opponents at the same time. With appropriate support, the tank will always be. And those who reduce their release personally they do not need it. They’re not going to fight or there’s nothing to take from them.

              and even if it breaks through, it may well be that the tank will remain combat-ready, or there will be a need for a little repair.

                  For a while, but this is not the only one, and it’s not a fact that after the launch of the launcher and the calculation of the anti-tank systems it will remain long.

                  It’s a pity that the professor ignores me))) writes that the tank is atavism)) and the ATGM is cooler, the tank will become atavism when it is replaced and its tasks will be carried out by the same ATGM

                    Tank replacement is unlikely.

                    But if we compare the effectiveness of the same Sprut-SD and the promising self-propelled anti-tank system for the Airborne Forces based on the Kornet-Shell, the second is better both in terms of destruction of armored objects and in terms of destruction of point targets, incl. in buildings and fortifications. And cheaper.

                    I don’t understand one thing, why there are no self-propelled anti-tank systems with stabilized weapons. Not a particularly technical challenge.

                      what I think that it is not so much the cost-effectiveness criterion that plays a role here, but also the usual camouflage, most likely military experts considered self-propelled ATGMs to be an unnecessary and ineffective idea, although it seems that something like this was implemented in the Pantsir air defense system

                        Currently in service are "Competition", "Robot", "Shturm-S". The latter is being modernized. There are promising "Chrysanthemum", "Kornet-T", "Quartet", which can be installed on any light carrier.

YES and it’s not by chance that the range was chosen 5 km. If such distances are rare in urban EUROPE, then in the central zone of Russia, such an effective range will cover a large sector of fire. That is, if the ATGM moves on the battlefield, therefore due to folds the terrain of other buildings, the goal is a tank, it can simply disappear from view, and unnecessary de-masking movements are useless

                        In modern combat, a machine forced to fire from a place, especially if it’s a second-generation ATGM, is doomed.

                        ATGM does not need to stabilize the launcher, only the sight and optics of the control system. Judging by the number of stabilized modules for small arms, the task is trivial.

                        The tank and when managing a rocket in place can hide behind the folds of the terrain. Therefore, good operators are needed to redirect the missile, or to evaluate the possible trajectory of the target.

Would you advise this decision to the designers of self-propelled artillery complexes and tanks, maybe we would have got a super weapon - a sort of howitzer shoots on the go, combines whatever the tank wants with it, and it’s not against the enemy helicopters to shoot at enemy helicopters

                        The paradox is that those who have similar reconnaissance equipment (battalion-level UAVs) are just these tanks that are being reduced. So nobody will notice this fighter with ATGM 2 km from the tank, but there are also long-range ATGMs, right up to 25 km.

                    That is, in the GOS missile there is an optical recognition system? In principle, it is possible, but most likely homing missiles deals with the IR channel, which remembers the unique signature of the target, and optics provide the operator with the work to adjust or redirect the missile to another target in flight.
                    It is painfully smart that the GOS should be in order to provide full optical guidance

                      Optical Pattern Recognition is the topic of my dissertation. There is nothing super-smart in recognizing optical images (to teach a rocket to distinguish independently, say Abrams from Merkava, is more difficult, but this is already implemented). The direction has been developing since 1964 and a powerful breakthrough has been made recently. So the GOS Spike is guided in an optical image without problems (in any case, I have not seen complaints about poor capture).

                There is no optical GOS on Spike. Autonomous guidance on the target (realization “shot-forgot”) is carried out exclusively with the help of a matrix thermal imaging seeker. An optical-electronic device with a CCD array is included in the Spike anti-tank system, but is not part of the SAMO Guidance Head. This optoelectronic data transmission channel is used only when observing the phono-target situation through a rocket, and if necessary, MANUAL correction of target designation. Not a single official source, including Rafael, says that Spike-ER has a dual-channel GOS - optical thermal imaging. Such a blizzard is not even driven on a crow's bark.

                    Well, first of all, this is not a “materiel”, but only a Rafael page dedicated to Spike-ER. Secondly, and this is important, it says that the missile control system searches for targets (seeker) in the daytime or in the day / night mode. So what? On the same page there is an advertising booklet http://www.rafael.co.il/marketing/SIP_STORAGE/FILES/3/923.pdf. It says more clearly - "They have sophisticated electro-optic CCD / IIR sensors for operation during the day, at night and in adverse weather conditions." That's all. Everything corresponds to well-known information. Detection of targets and guidance on them is possible both through the thermal imaging channel and through the charge-coupled opto-electronic device (which for some reason you consider to be an exclusively day channel, and I - executed on an image intensifier tube and, accordingly, day-night). But homing implements only thermal imaging matrix GOS. Through an optical-electronic device with a CCD matrix, target detection and guidance are possible, but only in MANUAL mode. Not any homing. None of the official sources speak of the presence on Spike-ER of an optical seeker that implements “autonomous guidance.” Nowhere is it said that a camera with a CCD matrix can remember the target image and realize “shot-forgot” in optical mode (only in the thermal imaging http://www.airwar.ru/weapon/aat/spike-er.html).

      It’s not bad, but the Cornet isn’t new, more modern 4-5 generation systems are needed, and while we are marking time, I hope they are already developing something interesting.

      Well, so will Armata, it’s a universal weapon. There are battle conditions, tactics, etc., if in the city, as we know, then any tank is vulnerable, if in the middle of the desert and visibility is 5 kilometers, then what's the difference.
      “Several (presumably 2) Kornet ATGMs were delivered to the Israel National Institute for the Study of Ammunition of the Engineering Forces of the Israel Defense Forces. [35]

      According to the Israeli authorities, on April 7, 2011, during the shelling of an Israeli school bus, Hamas fighters used the Kornet anti-tank system, which led to a diplomatic scandal between Israel and Russia [36]. "
      this is from wiki ..... edia
      If Hamas has damn partners, that is, throughout the Middle East.

      And so, in a childish way, put Merkava, Abrams and Armata in a row and shoot from the “shaitan pipe”)))) or from Cornet, then everything, someone earlier, and someone later will fall apart.

    Nice complex, of course. However, it already requires modernization.

    The main problem is weight. Launch weight 26 kg, plus 8.5 thermal imaging sight. Too much.

    Next is the vulnerability of the operator. In the future, the creation of 3 generation rockets launched from this installation (their use is not always economically justified, so the ability to shoot much cheaper second missiles is necessary), but at this stage, the implementation of remote control capabilities of launchers. Belarusians already have experience in creating a similar installation for the Ukrainian missile, it is worth cooperating with them.

    And finally, informatization. Sustainable management of installations by the unit commander, external target designation, the possibility of salvo firing at important targets, the possibility of using installations for notching targets with subsequent destruction by other fire weapons.

    It makes sense to expand the range of ammunition, the creation of an analogue of the Swedish "Bill", striking armored vehicles from above

          And what kind of GOS on this ATGM needs to be put in order to be able to at least be carried by 2 fighters, and also ensure accuracy of hit even 0.5? As far as domestic data on tests of both ground ATGMs and helicopters say, active Arena defense systems and even the morally obsolete Drozd reduce all these tricks with homing to full zero. And if our brave military will finally understand that 1 tank is more expensive than one rocket, then Western developers will have to come up with mixed-guided anti-tank systems. Just do not refer to Western sources on the use of anti-tank systems, we were not there and could not see their use, and we do not even know the exact performance characteristics. There was a video on YouTube like Apache firing several rockets on a tank protected by our Drozd, as a result, not one hit.

I hope you don’t need to remind about the Flurry, it’s easier for pilots to ask how they fly in super sound. If these problems were resolved then such weapons would disperse like hot cakes across the armies, since there are no problems making a hypersonic missile at the moment.

                Why don't they go to the armies like hot cakes? Because they are relatively expensive and at the moment are redundant - Israel is the only country with tanks equipped with KAZ in the army.

                    And you yourself calculate how scanty the angular movement will be. Rectangular triangle with legs of 5000 and 16 m. "Blow in a thousand", if you are familiar with the divisions of the protractor, trigonometric functions, if you need angular minutes and seconds.

                    Flurry is a very unfortunate example. Because it is fundamentally impossible to control there, any rudders will immediately bring the torpedo out of the cavitation mode. Well, here is a purely air environment.

In doing so, consider the pressure and wind on the battlefield. Do you see the faculty of ground artillery graduating? Not so simple. Go to a site such as TsAGI and there is a lot written about management problems in hypersound. About Flurry, this example is quite illustrative, in a flying rocket with hypersound, motion physics is like in a medium of high density.

                      The main components of SKEM should be: a body made of composite material, a solid rocket engine, control system, a warhead with an armor-piercing core, and stabilizers that open after firing. The ATGM control system is supposed to be performed using a laser beam or a radio channel in the millimeter wavelength range. It will include: an inertial unit made on a microelectromechanical base; laser receiver; steering wheels or a block of pulsed rocket mini-engines to correct the trajectory.
                      Well, the stabilizers should be so rigidly fixed, the deviation at this speed even by a tenth of a degree ... Count yourself.

    There is no alternative to a tank on the battlefield yet. Infantry that should be like in the first world on foot on machine guns. Even before World War II, many "experts" believed that the tank had no future. Anti-tank guns and mines will sweep the tank off the battlefield. as everyone knows. Tanks will continue to develop, they may become unmanned vehicles with remote control and elements of artificial intelligence. The fact that some Europeans are getting rid of tanks is hoping to sit out in the bosom of the Americans.

And the song is about tens of thousands of advisers who threw themselves under tanks with bundles of grenades ... It's just that the story that you and I know is different. During my studies, I personally had to watch a film shot by eyewitnesses how the "stupid Arabs" themselves with "Babies" burned your tanks at once. And I heard firsthand about your invincible army, the places where the units with military advisers from the USSR kept the defense, your troops simply bypassed for several tens of kilometers. These are the different stories. And Israel exists as long as someone wants it. And when this someone's Wishlist runs out, Israel can be disassembled for parts. This is already a reality.

              In 1973, the losses of armored vehicles from "tourists" were significant. Did it help the Arabs?

              And I heard firsthand about your invincible army, those places where the units with the military advisers from the USSR held the defense, your troops simply walked a few tens of kilometers.

              This is also true, they went around and surrounded almost the whole army and still knew to cross the Suez Canal and took the city of Suez in Africa and reached the 101st km to Cairo. Here is a story. Do you have another? Did the Arabs take Tel Aviv? wink

              And Israel exists while someone wants it.

              And here you are right, this is what the people of Israel want, for which no foreign soldier has ever fought, even as "advisers".

              And when the Wishlist ends for someone, Israel can be taken apart for parts. This is already a reality. For me, this just should not be.

              Judging by housing prices, the Israelites’s Wishlist did not end, so I’m forced to upset you, you won’t wait.

                I personally know about Israel its external problems nevermind. At the expense of the Cornets there was a note from your government, saying that Russia is selling ATGMs to Palestine. What does the Israelites want to do with it? Israel has a big brother to the United States, or for example, China wants to turn the Sahara into an oasis, as an option, that it will be some 8 million if it suddenly seems to him that they are in the way. Sudan is nearby and there the division is housed in 40000 thousand people. God forbid they catch on the next bombardment. At the expense of foreign citizens, and who are you? Native to Israel? In the process, circumcision was done during emigration. Well, at the expense of advisers, there were not thousands of them. Where have you read such tales? Yes, there were pilots in Egypt, but already 3 squadrons. Plus Square-necked Ponchos. Well, yes, I forgot, engineer-sapper unit. Well and PTRKshniki.

                    Dear, my BP teacher is a real participant in these events and should I doubt after that? Behind him is still hanging vulture when reading burn. And he is not a member of this society! A real officer who was not sent, but he volunteered. In these cardboard offices you can look for more veterans of the Suvorov campaign or the Boer War. Your right is proud of the six-day war, but your Tsakhal still cares about the stars in the eyes, for example, to the defenders of the Brest Fortress. Or the same 9th company, as well as the Pskov paratroopers. The Israeli army is an inert mass that is not capable of real feat! You can throw beads in front of people who are used to scooping information from zombies. And I have enough of what I personally went through, and the betrayal of the commanders and the assassination of the army in its very foundations ...

                    The returnees are Israeli citizens and most have no other citizenship.


                    Well, of course, on the Torah I prayed and you are a Jewish Jew. A normal move for a country that cannot call on itself differently. And where are the Jews of the whole world unite? As far as information on the world says, they are already fleeing from you. Even some Paraguay requires full legalization.

                    Total thousands and thousands, and also in Syria.
                    More than 30 thousand of our soldiers and officers secretly fought in the Middle East


                    I believe only what I saw, or who you can’t not believe! So the allegations of heroic adventures of the new Munchausen from the so-called societies about wars which officially did not exist did not exist for me. No body, no business. A real officer will not advertise about the mess in which he participated of his own free will. Especially when Israeli troops were hammering in the tail and mane. Yes, the worst thing in the USSR was that they went on business trips not only by order, but also of their own accord, as well as by flight. Fact, and not attached! Especially these words:

                    . According to Western data, in Egypt between 1967 and 1973 served up to 50 thousand Soviet troops


                    You can communicate with Mr. Popov personally from exile, and the movement is called "Protect Your Home", I personally believe a man who dropped more than one "Phantom" with his unit. And not that bullshit that is written in the article ... And you will not hear specific dates and numbers from him. This man keeps everything to himself!

                      until 1967, for example, weapons were predominantly French. Yes of course.

                      Yes of course. Learn the materiel and look for example the composition of the Air Force of that time. There were no American tanks and aircraft. About nuclear weapons is just bullshit. Who built the reactor in Dimona? Americans? wink

                      Dear my teacher

                      Blah, blah, blah ... Have you seen the tens of thousands of advisers? Only in Egypt in 1972 there were 20 thousand of them. How many American advisers were in Israel? Zero.

                      Well, of course, on the Torah I prayed and you are a Jewish Jew.

                      The fact remains. For Israel, only Israeli citizens fought and fight (ppm does not count), whose homes and families are in Israel. For Arabs, family advisers fought and whose houses remained in their native country. You know what they call people who enter into armed conflict not from ideological, national, political considerations (and not belonging to any ideological group interested in the outcome of the conflict) and not in accordance with military duty, but for their own selfish gain (that is, for money or other material benefits)?

                      You can personally communicate with Mr. Popov from the link

                      So you call the hero of the war who "hollowed the Israeli troops in the tail and mane" a liar?

                      You better explain to me how tens of thousands of advisers allowed such a colossal defeat of the Egyptian and Syrian armies? How did it happen that "they hammered the Israeli troops in the tail and mane", and they went to a cannon shot to Damascus and the 101st km to Cairo? Where did our Soviet people's money go? request

          Not true . The Syrian army passed the war 67 and 73gg. Armed with Soviet weapons that were quite modern at that time, she suffered a severe defeat in Lebanon in the 1982 year, although she fought fiercely and even had some successes, for example, near Sultan-Yakub or on the Beirut-Damascus highway.

          Here is the right answer. When storming a city, not only and not how much infantry covers tanks.
          A close interaction is the training of infantry + BTR-T, covering the infantry from sniper fire. + Heavy equipment of sappers.
          This is what should be written in the combat charter, conducting combat in urban conditions.
          I would only add here, an STORM assault gun with a caliber of not less than 152 mm, with anti-ballistic reservations. And an elevation angle of the gun is not a melee of 60 degrees.

        It seems to me that in our country, in many cases, they prefer to use high-precision weapons in order to reduce collateral damage when hostilities are taking place in buildings. In the event of a full-scale war, as in 73 (God forbid), you will not be able to fight back with "spikes" alone. There is still room for tanks on the battlefield.

    I saw those who "served in ..." and saw who fought.
    Is it such an incomprehensible Jewish humor, or what? I saw it. I saw it somewhere, on TV or on the net. In my memory, I’ve popped up on this site for the first time, and again I saw it. Such as you always consider yourself the most intelligent, only benefit from you 0. I never thought I served you with you before, and if you had seen us from the other side, you wouldn’t have written here. And even Israel, in a direct conflict with us, will exist for 5 minutes. So we should not boast about your military merits, we- then just seen enough of the barn heroes.

    I served in the SA and then the RA (along with the term and military school) for 27 years. I quit my health major. My specialty is strictly military and does not involve work in warehouses and headquarters. When you carry heresy, think suddenly a professional military is talking to you. You I suppose I’ve read shkolota, and yes, you forgot a couple of degrees in all sciences. And good night to you. hi

      You probably read shkolota

      Of course shkolota and, moreover, illiterate.
      Now I understand why you are focusing on "serving" (serving the Motherland has always been an honor, without sluggishness), and not on "fought." Not everyone had to fight, and it's for the best. hi

    Do not argue with clever professors, it affects your health very badly. Yes, and do not forget to remind them that they are rather weak (FACT), this belittles their cunning, bold impulses to rise among the gentiles.

    "Opening" this article, I was hoping to see the facts of the use of anti-tank systems on, at least, the exact imitations of the armor of the Abrams M1A1 \ M1A2, and even M1A2 TUSK. And so .... request .... "waste of ink" sad (once again).

    As far as I know, they are not being conducted, and they are not financed in the USA, it is not in vain that the Congress was so tense over the closure of the plant in Lima.

    Regarding the financial decisions of Congress and the desire for procurement of Amer. Army in the future tanks of the new version:
    The US Congress over the past two years has allocated about half a billion dollars for the purchase of improved versions of Abrams main battle tanks, although the Army command announced an excess of such equipment in the troops and the absence of the need for new purchases. According to ArmyTimes, in the next few years, the US Congress intends to allocate another 436 million dollars for the purchase of new Abrams tanks. At the same time, the US Army still refuses to buy new cars.
    Currently, the US Army is armed with 2,4 thousands of Abrams tanks, a third of which are the new M1A2SEPv2. The average age of cars is about three years. The cost of production and purchase of one new tank is currently 7,5 million dollars. US Army Command Stops Abrams Procurement In 2012; the last tanks under already signed contracts should be delivered in 2014.
    The US Army plans to resume buying Abrams no earlier than 2017, when a new version of this combat vehicle will be created. It is curious that the allocation of funds for the purchase of new tanks, which the US Army refuses, is carried out against the background of a reduction in military spending (the Pentagon is obliged to reduce its spending by 2013 billion by the end of the fiscal year 42).
    The need for the purchase of tanks in the US Congress is explained by the preservation of the production of such military equipment and the preservation of jobs. Abrams is a state-owned enterprise in Lima, Ohio, managed by General Dynamics. Earlier it was reported that the suspension of tank production will cost 600-800 million dollars, and the cost of maintaining the plant can reach three billion dollars.
    According to various estimates, to maintain a plant in Lima without job cuts, it is necessary that it produce up to 70 Abrams tanks per year. Thus, before the 2017 year of the US Army, it will be necessary to purchase at least 280 new tanks. “If we were given a choice, we would spend this money on other projects,” ─ said Army Commander General Ray Odierno.

      I’m talking about this, these armies are not needed by the army, and the military-industrial complex lobby in Congress will forcefully allocate money for them. Their (congress) will, they would have funded and armored trains. request

    for a mobile anti-tank system, weight is more important than firing range. the main range of fire on tanks all one is not more than 1000-1500 meters.

    Read did not understand anything. Modern tanks, because as far as I know, were created for operations in a nuclear conflict and to counter tank armies of a potential enemy, and even if I remember correctly for breaking the echeloned defense line, the coverage of enemy groups and deep raids on the enemy rear. Using tanks in all of the above conflicts and operations, it’s only private, and in most cases, outright stupidity. And what does it have to do with it then? It turns out that a lone surviving infantryman after a nuclear explosion, a massive shelling of the front line with cassette ammunition of a volumetric explosion and bombing from 100 to 1500 kg. In a smoke covering the battlefield, constant explosions of shells, he pulls out a tripod weighing 19 kilograms and calmly sets it up, hooks a tube weighing under twenty a kilogram of randomly lying nearby and calmly takes aim at 30-40 tanks crawling across the field (steppe, undergrowth or whatever) and even gets there. Question? This will somehow affect the situation on the battlefield.

    Like an adult, but believe in fairy tales. They can still print money for themselves, but this is not necessary now: real growth of the American economy in the first quarter of this year amounted to 2.5%.

    it's all linden. they can also present the solution in vitro as an OM. and print with tens of billions of dollars for special operations and no one will know about it. the entire world economy is built on sand. It’s interesting, just lawlessness will defeat the economy. or economy mayhem

    Retriever.
    I apologize, first read what it means "several orders of magnitude." The second point - the tank and the BMP have different tasks and therefore it is not correct to compare them. And the third point - the conquest of the territory still takes place on tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, these are complementary systems. Military theorists have not yet rejected tanks.

    Exactly. Connoisseurs gathered ... Thirty pages of amateurs talk about what they do not understand at all. And we should start with the basics. For example with Fighting tanks. Biryukov G.F., Melnikov G.V. Military Publishing House, 1967. Read, think, re-read again, and turning on the brain finally, stop carrying all nonsense. This is especially true for guests from foreign countries.

    All the advantages of the BMP will cease to exist at once when meeting with the tank under otherwise equal conditions.
