Russian Defense Ministry refuses the idea of ​​creating a wheeled tank

Journalists decided to ask the representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation Major General Mikhail Matveevsky about the development of the wheeled program tanks for the Russian army. Work on the possible creation of wheeled tank models (heavy cannon armored vehicles), according to reports from the main defense department, began in Russia several years ago. The fate of the program for a long time remained unknown. Major General clarified the situation on the radio station "Russian News Service":

The conditions in our theater (theater of hostilities - approx. "IN") are such that not everywhere on wheels can you drive successfully. All the pros and cons of testing this system have shown that it is better to have a tracked course.

Matveyevsky stressed that at this stage, the Russian Ministry of Defense refuses to implement the project of a wheeled tank for the Russian army and focuses on supporting work on the creation of other units of armored vehicles.

At one time, work on the wheel version of a heavy armored vehicle — a wheel-mounted tank destroyer “Sting-S” —was also conducted in the Soviet Union. However, even then the work on the program was curtailed, and the production of armored vehicles did not have time to become serial.

The first country to create a serial wheeled tank was France. This is a sample of the AMX-10RC, which has been manufactured since 1976. Today, this heavy wheeled cannon armored car is in service with both France itself and several other states: Morocco, Cameroon, Qatar.
The production of wheeled tanks and wheeled tank destroyers was conducted or is being conducted in Japan, Italy, South Africa, China, France, the Republic of China (Taiwan).

it’s better to have a crawler track.

Yes, with our landscape and climate, a caterpillar track is preferable. Wheeled proven in the desert and flat terrain. Although we have very passable wheeled vehicles, they have a different purpose.

[donavi49]

There was another meaning, in the strengthening of wheel joints. A caterpillar tank, even a light one, will not be able to keep the speed on the march, but a wheeled one on one platform can qualitatively strengthen the wheel connection in a breakthrough, for example.

The idea of ​​creating such compounds took shape after Georgia. When all kinds of special forces on the BTR-80 went into the breakthrough and could not give them anything to strengthen.

[Simon]

For that, tracked tanks have better cross-country ability where wheeled tanks will not pass, and we have a lot of such territories in Russia. The tank must walk not only where cars go, but also off-road. By the way, "Armata" in its driving performance is not inferior to wheeled tanks, and superior in armament. And try to strengthen the admissible armor or put a more powerful bunch on a wheeled tank, the wheeled tank will get stuck in arable land.

[Nehist]

Apparently you didn’t build up on the tank in the winter, and in the summer ... It’s worth to sit on a bluch and that’s all ... Wheel self-propelled guns are definitely needed in the same swampy areas

[Bad_gr]

I think this kind of self-propelled guns has a right to exist. More mobile than towed and no more expensive than armored car + towed gun, separately.

I think, nevertheless, wheeled tanks will be produced here. At the initiative of enterprises, as an export option, and then possibly in the Russian army, as has happened more than once with some models of military equipment.

[hydrox]

Quote: donavi49

nothing could be given to them in gain.

Reasonably thinking: wheeled and tracked vehicles are different types of weapons. If tanks are infantry support in battles on the ground, then wheeled vehicles are REMOTE fire support tools and they don’t have to climb rough terrain at all, rather quickly move around the rooks. There was no such equipment in the Second World War - and it is a pity that our losses would have been much smaller.

[your1970]

Well, actually there were quite a lot of cannon armored cars in WWII

[chunga-changa]

According to all charters, tanks with infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled guns should have gone into the breakthrough, why it didn’t work out so soon for command. In addition, according to the same charters, those who advance forward on the armored personnel carrier should receive continuous air support from the dowry of the army aviation, why this did not work, the questions are the same.
As the experience of Georgia has shown, our generals and marshals and the available equipment are not able to use them wisely, wheeled tanks will not affect this fact in any way, they will also establish them. If necessary, then this is wheeled self-propelled artillery and mortars, but certainly not a tank, as long as there are self-propelled anti-tank systems.

It seems that this is not a final decision - I'm talking about an article. After all, the platform is modular - I think that if necessary they will put the cannon on the largest. Already Bahchu will definitely be able to gash there.

Well, here's the answer, NO ... it’s grown in another, but how will we fight with the IGL in Wed Asia ???
or they don’t allow this in the Moscow region, doesn’t such a scenario develop out ???

in addition to the wheeled tank, there should be an armored MLRS, infantry fighting vehicle / armored personnel carrier, logistics vehicle, san ... armored vehicle ...
and that's it, on a single platform ...

Brother, in the ass Europe. The problem is that crap like igil, namely the Taliban (confused the name cosmos111) came close to the borders of Tajikistan. Who do you think will fight them?

[pts-m]

igil can replenish his ranks only at the expense of the population where he arranges his provocations. so loyalty of the population to the government of Tajikistan is a matter of questions.

[_Brown_]

Think not quite correctly, comrade. Wheel tanks in the terrain and climate of the Russian Federation, of course, are of little use due to obvious difficulties. But to develop, create and produce such vehicles, I think, all the same, it would be advisable for two reasons: for sale to those who are interested in these vehicles (why lose the sales market?) And as possible examples of mobilization options for amplification and fire support of motorized infantry , but simpler and cheaper than full-fledged self-propelled guns.

[Mitek]

But there is no big sense in a wheeled tank. In Georgia, the landings and special forces left alone, they took a moment and moved forward on the shoulders of the enemy. This is the basics of preventing the enemy from organizing and creating a new line of defense, cutting off and preserving warehouses as much as possible, capturing headquarters and secret carriers. There simply was not planned such a breakthrough, and there is something to strengthen such a grouping. Grad on wheeled, towed artillery, KShM and electronic warfare equipment based on URALs, air defense on wheels is-Shell, Wasp. Now there are wonderful cars based on the Tiger, boomers will come soon. Plus it’s hard to put a serious cannon on a wheeled one, or to shoot strictly in front of you, or hydraulic mounts for shooting to the sides. After all, the recoil momentum is not weak, but enough to fight armored targets and cornets. Therefore, they refused.

Space, this gun is suitable for the European theater of war, where there is more asphalt than land, the Middle East, but not Russia. I wrote above that reinforcing the column so there is something. There is no nightmare for logistics, well, maybe I just don’t see it. In addition to what is written above, wheeled vehicles will not go apart from the caterpillar one horseradish. The speed of the columns up to 50 km / h in ideal conditions. But should they get off the highway, and after the rain ... The Italian half-horse, when tested in Russia, just got into the field and that’s it. Serdyukov, by the way, also wanted to buy them by Ivec. These machines are not for us ... But in my opinion, what can be done on the basis of a shell is a small RSZO (by the way there are interesting developments already in hardware) with a package of shortened guides. Not for 20-50 km bullet, but for 3-5. Although Nona also cope with this with the accuracy of an inaccessible MLRS. But there are times when you need to drag and run.
For the Airborne, the Octopus was made on a crawler track, floating. But they need him. A tank to throw another crap. and the Airborne Forces are highly mobile units. And octopus, cornet, nona ensure the stability of these parts in battle, even with parachute landing. A new BMD with melon generally song.

First reasonable thought. When citing the speed of tracked and wheeled BM, the authors constantly forget, or perhaps they simply do not know, that the maximum speed indicated in the performance characteristics is unattainable "on the field", and the staff officers carry out all calculations based on the operational speed. And it usually does not exceed 40-50 km / h.
In addition, when comparing the passability of even 4-axle vehicles with tracked vehicles, many forget that the ground pressure on the tracked vehicles is evenly distributed over the entire supporting surface, and on wheeled vehicles the peak pressure, so that the chances of getting stuck on the BCM are more painful compared to the BGM when overcoming soft soils.

[Alf]

In addition, the range of T-80 = 500 km, range of BTR-80 = 600 km. The difference is not big.

[shvetsov]

See the Bereg artillery complex. Very similar in meaning. Only better.

And what? Do you really want to? Are they going to go straight into a tank column packed in armor through the Hindu Kush? The key phrase in this refusal is, Matveyevsky emphasized that at this stage, the Russian Ministry of Defense is refusing to implement the wheeled tank project for the Russian army and is focusing on supporting the creation of other armored vehicles. "----- Well, why the heck do the wheeled MBT? Again, from the three pictures presented by you, it makes sense to make a really lightly armored version of the SPG in picture # 2, as a continuation of the wheeled “NONA”. Well, perhaps, depending on the stability of the chassis, and a variant of a lightly armored wheeled self-propelled gun PT. Well, as an amera on the Stryker, they added 105mm, so that the good would not disappear. Here we also will have MBT with 152mm - 125 to fit on different SPGs. But with the rearrangement of the hull as a platform stable for the operation of the gun. That is, to create these most other examples of armored vehicles. And MBT on wheels as a whole will always lose to tracks.

As far as I know, Typhoon is not intended for operations at the forefront, all multifunctionality - delivery of cargo and cargo in the conditions of the near rear or conflict a la Chechnya - is not too high a price for a car whose functions are successfully performed by a truck with an attached reservation kit (in Since 2003, Chechnya have been rare raids, mainly undermining) and mine protection?

To eliminate the breakthrough of the APU troops when leaving the cauldron could easily be done if there was a battalion of wheeled self-propelled guns of not the largest caliber, placed on the flank of the breakthrough.

[Sakmagon]

The author seems to regret:

work on the wheeled version of the heavy armored vehicle - the wheeled tank destroyer "Sting-C" - was carried out in the Soviet Union. However, even then the work on the program was curtailed, and the production of armored vehicles did not manage to become serial ...

A simple analysis of the information on the combat use of wheeled tanks with heavy weapons shows that their existence as one of the modern (promising) means is very doubtful. So, offhand from different places:
- the mobility of wheeled BT is 23-47%, and in the period of spring and autumn thawing it decreases in some cases to 5-11%. For tracked BT, mobility is not lower than 48%;
- it is impossible to achieve the required level of armor protection within the mass from 16 to 24 t .;
- an advantage in speed - such cars do not ride alone. A speed pillars is 30-40 km / h, on paved roads - 40-50 km / h. When the column moves at night, the speed is limited to 20-25 km / h, while moving in the conditions of light masking it is limited to 10 km / h. And do not care whether you are on wheels or on geese.

Shamanov: “... the Afghan experience, and the experience of three Caucasian campaigns clearly showed that wheeled vehicles behave capriciously even in medium-rugged terrain ... all the wars in which paratroopers have been involved in the last 30 years have clearly shown when the wheels "they drive off the highway to rough terrain, they immediately begin to have problems."

[vladkavkaz]

Sacmagon (
Something from the experience of driving columns, starting with the GSVG, where our regulation company spent five years carrying out columns, day, night, in any conditions, the speed of the wheel column was limited only by the order of the commander on the march.
And the company’s convoy, we didn’t go badly at 70-80 km of speed either, on an armored personnel carrier.
Repeatedly observed and the speed of German military convoys - at least 60 km / h and intervals in the convoy were observed perfectly and strangers did not meddle in the convoy were immediately kicked out of there in the natural sense of the word.
Dirt roads, over landfills and so there you can’t accelerate along the tank route ..
Primers, the trouble is that the directions are used both by tanks and wheels, the result is where the tank went, the wheels got up.
Chechnya showed it, but where there were tank routes, at least a hundred meters away from the wheeled, there were no problems.

[Grandfather bear]

Well, mulberries have one "but".
The first is personal experience. If it were not for the BRDM arriving at the point 35 minutes faster than the "fifty" I would not have written here. Fact.
Everything about landscapes is talked about here, but on the border with Kazakhstan? And the CSTO countries? The landscapes there are completely different. Or will we broaden the tracks and change the armies of the army, if so? How long will it take? Yes, and the speed of the breakthrough will decrease by multiple, I love. Read about Khalkhin goal. About the defeat of the Kwantung army in the recollections of tankers.
And peacekeeping, say in Africa?
In the geyrop?
Anything can be. Of course, it is not worth storming the release of hundreds of wheeled vehicles. But, to have a backlog and a project, a certain amount of "for a rainy day" is quite businesslike.

Reasonably, I support.
Now we need to leave Armata alone (we have been provided with the main tank for 50 years, there is no need to stare further), but the wheel platform of the UNIFIED modular designer already needs to be dealt with today, taking into account, first of all, not combat contact, but the DISTANCE and COLLECTIVITY of the SPG destructive factor. Much has already been produced for direct support and delivery of infantry to the battlefield, but we do not have the means to implement the principle of "maneuver and fire" for a medium caliber. The coalition is good, but the jibs do not allow it to OPERATIVELY maneuver, towed by the D-30 and others like it is generally a defenseless anachronism that does not allow teamwork.
So here to work and work ...

Quote: rotmistr60

but they have a different purpose.

Well I do not know ...
The mass production of AMX also says a lot, at least the running gear of wheeled vehicles is several times greater, as is the 3 times higher speed of movement and change of position. This, in turn, means a higher coefficient of firepower when maneuvering along the front and its rapid amplification in the preparation of offensive operations or reflection of a breakthrough.
I'm not talking about the need to equip the airborne landing craft with more powerful fire support equipment, but it all depends on the concept of using the Airborne Forces and the Russian Military Doctrine.
And then, this is not a technique for ensuring positional warfare, there will be no more such wars, but the principle of "maneuver and fire" has not yet been canceled: armored vehicles have not been driven through the swamps during the Second World War, and the state of the road network in Russia has been only improved - here's a "maneuver and fire", especially for the Coalition-SV.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but the idea of ​​wheeled tanks from Italy arose under Serdyukovschina.

[donavi49]

After 8.8.8. When the same group of 45 smallpox met with the armored group of Georgians and there were big problems, because 45 only had armored personnel carriers-80. And other groups in the breakthrough on wheels walked quite carefully, precisely because there was no gain.

The idea came from there, to give wheeled units (and later developed into the idea of ​​creating completely wheeled brigades with wheeled artillery, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and tanks) wheeled tanks and artillery to solve the entire spectrum of problems in the face of a fast breakthrough.

Serdyukov is well versed in stools, and not in tanks, well, also in women.

For export, systems that are not in service (and have not proven themselves) are not very much taken. And to us, off-road, cross-country, etc. - probably you really don't need a wheeled tank. All the same, this is a "nedotank", an anti-guerrilla vehicle, not for a serious war.

In general, true. If you plan to defend that on the western borders, that in the Far East, the terrain wheels are not ah. Now, if you still plan to throw to the English Channel, then along the way the roads are quite European, and wheeled vehicles can be riveted many times cheaper and faster than tracked ones.
So let the Poles and the Balts calm down: the rollout of Russian armored columns through their territory has not yet been planned, and this news is another confirmation of this.

Yes, there are probably more important tasks. Armata to enter the troops, Kurganets. If you fight in Europe, then you can use such a tank with their roads. Yes, in my opinion, such a tank was developed before the war. Well, if in the vastness of Russia, then I think it’s more convenient on the caterpillar track.

Wherever the wheeled unit passes, the tracked unit will definitely pass. And not everywhere where the tracked vehicles can pass the wheeled vehicle (we do not take into account the swamp vehicles on low pressure tires). So to produce "tanks" on a wheel drive is a waste of money. IMHO

[Alexander 3]

I agree with you. Russia is a big country where there are all kinds of terrain, tracked vehicles are universal. And Europe is used to driving along the highway. Let them drive there.

Give a compromise solution. Both caterpillars and wheels at the same time! You can also fasten the wheelset from the train. We hide all this under the bottom, and put forward if necessary using hydraulics.

You can see right away that you are not familiar with the staffing of the manning divisions of the BBO and ZVO. Artillery predominates in the BBO and armored vehicles in the West Military District. And in general, heavy armored vehicles in the swamps and taiga are not very useful.

And these are just trucks. So all the creeping on the fact that the wheels are bullshit, everyone who says it just doesn’t know anything about it.

IMHO in the world there was not a single wheeled tank, and to call a tank (tank destroyer) BTR / BMP with a gun is nonsense. So I agree with the RF Armed Forces that we don’t need a wheeled tank, but it’s quite possible to have a medium / light gun platform based on the Kurganets / Boomerang, similar to Sprut.

The conditions in our theater (theater of operations - approx. “VO”) are such that not everywhere you can drive successfully.

And the roads to Berlin and Brussels are just good! But, "we do not want an inch of foreign land" And that is why it is probably correct, in the mass such a tank is not needed.

[nagel_Oz]

The wheeled chassis has a weight limit, so a full-fledged classic tank will not work out of such a machine.
Practice, the criterion of truth: There are not many examples of wheeled tanks, and what was shown at the parade in my opinion fully satisfy the tasks of the army.

[Evil 55]

Wheel tank destroyers, I agree ... But a full-fledged tank on a wheeled chassis is a fantasy.

[chunga-changa]

Wheel tanks start small countries with a developed road network or with a climate favorable for them, this is necessary for the rapid transfer of small armed forces to considerable distances on their own.
We have strategic and operational transfers carried out by airplanes and railways, with the idea being such, they are transferring personnel, and the equipment is already waiting at the storage bases. On its own, equipment is moved only within the district, from the unloading station (storage base) to the places of concentration.
Therefore, we can only be a consumer of a wheeled tank of the airborne forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the army does not really need such equipment, with proper organization and management. Conventional tanks (the T-72, T-80, T-64 family) can be transported by the An-124 (3 pieces each), information has appeared that the Airborne Forces will have its own tank unit, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs (based on the experience of Chechnya) is quietly attached to army tank units .
Conclusion, a wheeled tank is such a "Mistral" for our armored vehicles, of course an interesting thing, but there is no urgent need for it, and money can be spent on more necessary things.

[bocsman]

Quote: Nick

Quote: donavi49

There was another meaning, in the strengthening of wheel joints. A caterpillar tank, even a light one, will not be able to keep the speed on the march, but a wheeled one on one platform can qualitatively strengthen the wheel connection in a breakthrough, for example.

The idea of ​​creating such compounds took shape after Georgia. When all kinds of special forces on the BTR-80 went into the breakthrough and could not give them anything to strengthen.

And what are helicopters and attack aircraft for?!?

I think, nevertheless, wheeled tanks will be produced here. At the initiative of enterprises, as an export option, and then possibly in the Russian army, as has happened more than once with some models of military equipment.

All these are stillborn ideas. At least for now. The tracked platform as a medium for medium and large caliber artillery is more reliable and, most importantly, more stable and versatile than a wheeled one.

In my opinion, it is impossible to unambiguously decide - tracked or wheeled. Each has its own niche. If you approach wisely, then both tracked and wheeled vehicles will have their own task. There is no universal technique! Each machine is designed to solve its problems in very specific conditions. I think that wheeled vehicles will have a place in the Russian Armed Forces. Not to the detriment of the tracked.

It will be difficult for Nuland to convince everyone that Russia is going to attack the Middle East ... and we don’t need wheeled tanks ...

Everything mixed up: centaurs, strikers, tanks (horses rode nearby) :)
You brought pictures self propelled, in what other separation from the main forces will they operate autonomously ??

If we are talking about a wheeled tank, it has poor cross-country ability in our conditions. In addition, due to stability issues, the choice of guns and calibers for such a platform is limited, and maneuverability in combat is even more limited. A wheeled tank is essentially a special technique, it is not very similar to MBT and is not intended for combat with MBT. The logic of its application is “hit-run”, but this requires roads or dense, even ground, or the suppression of weakly mechanized enemy clusters (dushman in the bush)), but a whole series of existing models of equipment can handle this well.
T.O. The concept of a wheeled tank is redundant for Russian conditions.

Since Russia does not currently plan mass military operations abroad, in conditions where such special equipment would be widely used, the wheeled platform is not optimal.
Create the same technique only for export is not optimal in a cube.

At the parade, something passed wheeled from the new ones. And the light platforms on the tracks are not much inferior in speed to the wheels, I think. So tanks on wheels really are not really needed. It must be understood that those countries where wheeled tanks operate are located in almost the same climate zone throughout the country. And this is a very comfortable area ...

There is one nuance technique of the Airborne Forces being developed taking into account airborne desantination or air transportability. For example, at the end of the 70s, airborne aircraft from the Moscow Military District were transferred by BTA planes over 5 km to the border with China. Helicopters under their own power at such distances will quickly kill engines, how many heavy cargo vehicles we can take Mi-500?
In the Union, until the end of the 70s (the second wave of the formation of LHF) there was a clear separation of airborne forces used in large airborne airborne forces (150-300 km in a non-nuclear conflict and up to 500 in the nuclear one), LHD in TakVD (company up to 10 km and up to 3 hours) for an operation, a battalion of up to 50 km and from 6 hours to 2 days), in the operational-tactical landing-DShBr (up to 100 km). At the same time, the tasks of the Airborne Forces are carried out by l / s of motorized rifle units, from VD-l / s of DShBr (they included their own helicopters, 132 vehicles per brigade, planned 1 brigade per HE, but until the end of the 80s there were only 3 for the entire Union). When forming 2 waves of juvenile infantry fighting forces, they did stupid things, disbanded 105 VDD (ironically, the most prepared for operations in Afghanistan), did a bunch of brigades, separate battalions, regiments for which there was simply no equipment, entered the battalion on the BMD which before the Mi-26 there was nothing to transfer. As a result, it was necessary to prepare a salvo for parachute transfer (the number of jumping battalions increased from 80 to 160, not counting the DDR of the MSD / TD ORB).
Now there are no air assault units with their helicopters in the RF Armed Forces, their creation, even in the structure of the airborne forces, will be a big plus, but their effective use requires better interaction with the air forces (which always had problems), l / s of such units do not need to be taught jumping with parachutes (in 1968 a battalion was prepared for TakVD in 1,5 hours), they need their own equipment (weight up to 4 tons, and preferably 2-2,5, so that the Mi-8 can be transferred, with removable weapons and communications, is desirable own repair within an hour).
