Tank T-64BM "Bulat". Account losses open

45
According to Ukrainian and Russian media reports, on the evening of July 13, the Ukrainian armed forces attempted to bypass Lugansk and break through to the troops surrounded at the Lugansk airport. The first separate was thrown into battle tank brigade in service with which there are several types of armored vehicles. Among other vehicles, this connection operates the main tanks T-64BM "Bulat", which is the latest modification of the family. The July 13 fight was not only one of the first cases of combat use of the Bulat, but also opened the account for their losses. According to some reports, three Ukrainian tanks were destroyed that day, one of which was the T-64BM. In addition, Ukrainian troops lost several armored personnel carriers and vehicles.

Shortly after the 13 fights of July, the first photos of their results were published. On one of them, a burnt tank was captured with a number of characteristic signs, which allowed to define it as Bulat T-64BM. This car had not only to take part in hostilities, but also to become the first destroyed tank of its model. The Ukrainian tank was shot down and burned down near the town of Lutugino in the territory of the unrecognized Luhansk People's Republic.

Interesting is the reaction of some media to the destruction of the Ukrainian tank. So, already on July 14, the image of the burned-out car appeared in the photo selection of the Segodnya.UA online edition. During the preparation of this material, the Ukrainian tank “turned” into a fighting vehicle of Lugansk militias, destroyed by the Ukrainian Air Force.

There are at least two photographs of the first Bulat tank destroyed. They are clearly visible damage to the external elements of the combat vehicle, which allow you to build their assumptions. At the same time, it is impossible to talk about anything with certainty, since accurate and confirmed data on the course of the battle and the method of destruction of the vehicle are still lacking.

When examining the existing photographs of a burnt T-64BM, numerous damage to the external aggregates of the tank, as well as numerous traces of burning, are the first to be noticed. On-board screens, additional turret protection and other elements of the machine are noticeably deformed, smoke grenade launchers are dented or torn from their seats. In addition, the body is covered with soot. Best of all traces of burning are visible on the log, fixed on the stern of the machine. Probably, during the battle the car lost its course, after which it was shot by the enemy. In favor of this version speaks torn left caterpillar.

Internal damage to the tank is unknown, but some things may indicate serious damage to some units. The photo shows that the tank almost fell on the bottom of the bottom, so torsion suspension slipped. Despite all the damage to the tank, his crew could have survived or at least left the wrecked car. The hatches of the crew were open and, apparently, already after that they were covered with soot.

The method of destruction of the tank remained unknown. Probably, the projectile or rocket hit the port side and therefore there is no hole in the published photos. The fire could have followed the hit, as a result of which the external surface of the car received characteristic damage, and the torsion bars did not cope with the thermal loads and “sat down”. However, the fire did not lead to the detonation of the ammunition, and this fact may disprove the version about the penetration of the left side of the fighting compartment.

As an alternative version, taking into account the strong burning and other damage to the destroyed tank, you can consider the use of reactive artillery. Finally, the Ukrainian media could not be mistaken, and the tank was indeed destroyed by a rocket-bomb attack from the air. However, in this case, there are corresponding not entirely pleasant questions to the pilots of the Ukrainian Air Force.

Some issues may be caused by a tow rope attached to one of the stern hooks of a burnt car. This nuance can serve as the basis for another version: the tank was hit and lost the ability to continue the battle. After that, they tried to evacuate him, but for some reason they abandoned him. Perhaps the reason for this was the beginning of the shelling that destroyed the tank.

Anyway, the incident with the T-64BM “Bulat” tank near Lugansk confirms the obvious fact: any armored vehicle can be damaged or destroyed. However, some of the features of the T-64BM project, as well as the “PR campaign,” which once developed around it, gives the situation an ambiguous look. The “Bulat” project was created with the aim of bringing the characteristics of the production tanks of the T-64 family to the level of the T-84U tank. To this end, in the course of repair and modernization, new engines, a new fire control system and sighting devices, a Knife dynamic protection, as well as a set of other equipment, were received.

In numerous and not always objective comparisons with other tanks, the T-64BM vehicle regularly received good marks. Special praise was given to the protection system, in particular the dynamic protection "Knife". Serial re-equipment of existing tanks in accordance with the new project was launched in 2004 year. Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine planned to upgrade T-400 tanks to 64, however, limited financial capabilities forced to seriously reduce the order. In 2004, a contract was signed to update the 85 T-64 production tanks. The first batch of 56 Bulatov was handed over to troops in 2008. By 2012, the number of these tanks reached 76.

Since the beginning of July, reports began to appear on the use of T-64BM tanks in battles with Luhansk and Donetsk "terrorists". Already 13 July was destroyed the first of the machines of this type. Active participation in the battles of the 1-th separate tank brigade, armed with Bulaty, may indicate that the loss of this type of equipment will continue. Further operation of this type of equipment in conditions of real conflict will allow to understand its real potential and effectiveness. Nevertheless, it is already clear that the effectiveness of the use of tanks of all models will be directly related to the level of crew and command training, and it leaves much to be desired.

          the top photo is left, and the bottom photo is left. it is the same tank. Well, at least pay attention to the rollers. The caterpillar was knocked out on a standing tank. when removing the goose on the go, the tank may travel some distance before the tank unfolds. on a hard surface, on the surface there is a trace of skid. leaving the caterpillar far behind. On the same tank, the caterpillar slid a little off the sloth. and with an asterisk. that is, the breakdown of the goose happened on top, on a stationary tank.

          Vaunted protection "Knife": the entire tower is bare (complete absence of DZ boxes, only mountings remain from them). Dz boxes should not detonate either from fire, or from bullets and shrapnel. Only the box through which the cumulative jet passes should explode. And here, it seems, all protection detonated one-time.

    There is one more photo.

    For me, the tank underwent a massive shelling. Including several pturs - one of which got into the stern of the tower, in the laying of spare parts and ammunition.

    There is also the likelihood of a knife falling into the DZ, which worked, and most likely repelled the threat. A caterpillar was later shot down, the tank lost its mobility and the crew left it preliminarily, so that the militia would not get in a more or less working condition.

      "The convoy was on the highway. Having come under enemy fire, the convoy stopped. However, three T-64BM Bulat tanks continued to move, trying to identify enemy firing points. They were not supported by infantry. The artillery observer also did not reveal the enemy's position, and open artillery fire did not As a result, the tanks continued to move without support, and came under fire from small groups of enemy infantry equipped with RPG-7 grenade launchers.The fire was opened from the sides, repelling the attack of the enemy, who freely maneuvered in the roadside bushes, the tankers themselves, of course, As a result, each tank received at least 4-5 RPG hits on the sides. Due to the fact that the enemy fired without resistance, the effectiveness of the fire was high. After the reactive armor was shot off, the tank in the photo was hit in the engine , the explosion occurred on the radiator grill. The automatic fire extinguishing system could not bring down the flames. The tank completely burned down. Unfortunately yu, the driver did not have time to jump out of the car, who followed the commander's orders to the end ... He had to get out of the lower hatch, he went through the turret hatch when the tower was already completely engulfed in fire ...
      The crews of the other two tanks returned to their own without loss. The column went on. In the course of further movement, the paratroopers lost an armored personnel carrier and a truck. Also shot at close range from the RP "

        In this tank, a mechanic cannot climb into a tower without the help of other crew members. The photo shows that the gun is slightly turned away. There are no visible reasons for leaving the tank with a mechanical drive through its hatch.
        4-5 hits from the RPG-7 is somehow very sick for the newest model. Our old T-72Bs in Chechnya could withstand much more. The record was set by the T-72S (export model T-72b), which withstood 17 (!) Hits from RPGs (RPG-7, RPG-18) and still managed to break through to its own. This indicates a rather low level of protection by modern standards for these new T-64BM2 Bulat tanks.

    Well, the author is a little wrong, the T-64 BM "Bulat" is a project of bringing the T-64B (T-64BV) tank to the level of the T-80UD, although the developments that were used on the T-84 were also used.
    But all the tanks developed in the USSR, and after them, machines based on them, were created for combined arms combat.
    The use of these tanks, without special training, for counterguerrilla operations is a crime. And using the army against your people is the genocide of your people.

    As correctly noted, the tank received several hits and completely burned out, but did not explode.
    On the right tower there are no spare stores for NSVT, their bracket is visible torn off next to the starboard side, which proves the correctness of the concept of protection against cumulative ammunition, so the main armor is not broken.
    There is also no spare parts box at the stern of the tower and the OPVT pipe lies on the MTO roof, but they could fall off as a result of the fire.
    The BM "Bulat" project itself is not bad in terms of cost-performance characteristics, but its use in the civil war is, I repeat, a crime.
    Is it possible to bring the BM "Bulat" tank and any other tank to conduct counter-guerrilla actions with greater efficiency, but perhaps only to great joy, there is no one to bring it, and who may not do it.

      That's right, but about partisan actions, I think not quite so. The militias are not exactly partisans, in the full sense of the word. And what they are doing can be attributed to partisan actions only with a very big stretch. "Partisanship" against the enemy's BT is primarily a "mine war", but here we see a normal contact battle.
      As for the photo, in the article - it looks like an ordinary parallel "green" ambush. Maybe even on the move. Why only BTukropy flooded across the field?, Substituting under the "green". And where was their guard? But this is the rhetoric.

    It didn’t explode just because the crew managed to open the hatches and the energy of the combustion of gunpowder in the Ministry of Defense and the combat unit found a way out. It always happens. If the hatches were closed at the moment of ignition of the MOH, the tower would be torn off. The tank lies on its belly, which indicates that the torsion bar has completely melted from the heat.

      Actually, the correct name for this tank is BM "Bulat" (http://morozov.com.ua/rus/body/bulat.php) because in the Square they thought that indicating the T-64 is a reminder of the USSR and gave their name.
      Although everyone basically writes the T-64 BM "Bulat", paying tribute to the tradition of the T-64.
      Just like many people confuse the T-84 and the BM "Oplot", although they were all created on the basis of the T-80UD.

      In fact, torsion bars are made from alloy steels and, in principle, they cannot melt. Just because of the thermal effect, the torsion bars lost their elasticity (tempering steel) and the machine sank.

    Most likely he was destroyed by a blow to the stern of the tower. The T-64 and T-80 tower feed is generally weak. In the T-72, it seems to be narrowed with the formation of a wedge, even more powerful, but these are very bad.

    For some reason, the version of shooting by bumblebees is not considered. It really hurts all burnt, and you can’t see the holes.

      A hole remains from the cumulative jet, which you will not see in such images.

          The "bumblebee" flamethrower is not dangerous for a closed tank: a pressure above atmospheric pressure is maintained in the fighting compartment, and it is difficult for an aerosol of a volumetric explosion grenade to penetrate there. It is more difficult with the MTO compartment - air is actively sucked in there, but no less actively blown out. The shock wave from the volumetric explosion of the "bumblebee" flamethrower charge (the main damaging factor of such ammunition) is sustained by the tank by definition ...

          Maybe rubber, but in this case it is completely unimportant. The tank is sealed. All gaskets and oil seals deep in the armor. The cloud will not be able to penetrate. An explosion outside will not do anything. Also, all modern tanks have protection against napalm and other combustible mixtures.

      It seems to be true, since the defeat from the blanks on the tank is not visible.
      And as you can see the partisan actions are quite effective against the technique ground for combined arms combat, which takes into account that the enemy is only in front .. and all the protection is only there, and the side projections and stern are protected from fragments and machine guns.

    Yes, a new page is opening in the history of the combat use of the T-64. Until the village, tanks of this series were used in Transnistria and a little in the Chechen campaign (T-64A).

    there are no invulnerable tanks, and even more so in a guerrilla war ... But what about the loss of the T72, that the loss of the Abrams in Iraq, still did not stop the armored fist.
    Do not write about the loss of the BTR 4, which is a newer technique (there was an article about damage). And T64 is an old man modernization. I think Kars is right-DZ withstood, but mobility is lost.
    The T64 Bulat itself is a fairly economical upgrade, so the tank is relatively cheap. By the amount of BTR 4, the most expensive equipment in the ATO zone.

      young lady, it’s not so simple here as it seems, there is such a trick as the T-64 technical task, it was exactly that way in the first cold one, and the technical task was to create a breakthrough tank, that is, the abundance of fire (the presence of an automatic loader), speed (availability pick-up, complicated running gear), and (notice) an increase in the reservation of the front projection due to all other projections,
      now what do we see

    No matter how destroyed. The main thing is destroyed. God grant that destroyed further.
    Ukram had to supply the tank with springs so that in case of danger it could bounce off the battlefield.

    The purpose of the attack was the enemy’s position at the heights near the village of Lutugino, Lugansk region.
    Lacking information about the enemy, the artillery opened harassing fire on the heights, but the density and intensity of the fire was low. The column was walking along the highway. Having come under enemy fire, the column stopped. However, three T-64BM Bulat tanks continued to move, trying to identify the enemy's firing points. They were not supported by infantry. The artillery observer also did not reveal the enemy's position, and open artillery fire could not suppress the firing points. As a result, the tanks continued to move without support and came under fire from small groups of enemy infantry equipped with RPG-7 grenade launchers. The fire was opened from the sides, the tankers themselves, of course, could not repel the attack of the enemy, who freely maneuvered in the roadside bushes. As a result, each tank received at least 4-5 RPG hits on the sides. Due to the fact that the enemy fired without opposition, the effectiveness of the fire was high. After the explosive reactive armor was shot off, the tank in the photograph was hit in the engine, an explosion occurred on the radiator grille.
    Damask steel was hit near Lugansk on July 13
    The automatic fire extinguishing system could not bring down the flame. the tank is completely burned out. Unfortunately, the driver didn’t get out of the car, who completely followed the commander’s orders ... He had to go out into the lower hatch, he went through the tower hatch when the tower was completely engulfed in fire ... He did not have time.
    The crews of two other tanks returned to their lossless. The column went on. In the course of further movement, the paratroopers lost an armored personnel carrier and a truck. Also shot at close range from an RPG
