Belarusian military strengthened the protection of the BTR-80, T-72B and BMP-2

The military personnel of the 120 Guards Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Belarus demonstrated to the President Alexander Lukashenko samples of the BTR-80, T-72B and BMP-2 modernized in terms of protection based on the analysis of recent conflicts, reports "Messenger of Mordovia" with reference to the Belarusian TV company Arsenal.

In particular, the equipment received anti-cumulative lattice screens, which, according to the head of the armored control department of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus Oleg Fomin, reduce the damaging effects of anti-tank grenade launchers by destroying the ammunition itself until the formation of a cumulative jet that inflicts major damage to armored targets.

According to military experts, the design of the lattice screens installed on the Belarusian military equipment is similar to the samples developed by Russian “Steel Research Institute” specialists, which have proven themselves during the military campaigns in Afghanistan and Chechnya.

Experience Donbass see inspired. Any war is a testing ground for weapons, and a smart one learns from the mistakes of others.

And if we take the experience of Syria, then we still have to impose sandbags on all equipment. This is all "economy option". There should be normal dynamic protection systems and KAZ, but, indeed, this pleasure is expensive.

What is the know-how? Now, if bags of potatoes ...)))

[FIREMAN]

Mikhail_59 "-" For the potatoes, the defense industry of Belarus is spinning as best it can, due to the available funds and material and technical base, and the fact that the park is outdated, so where to get it, there is no oil and gas in Belarus, gold and rare earth, and even more so, is spinning like can. Humor is of course good, then I am humorous too - let's disperse the entire Belarusian army and leave 10 signalmen so that a message is sent to the General Staff of the Russian Federation in time: about NATO columns advancing to the East and everything will be the way.

[Lexa-149]

Nope, this is temporary protection. At the very first halt, the crew will cook this defense in a bowler hat and then digest it in the womb.

Yes, Belarusians with the update! I hope (I am sure) the quality of the lattice screens is done on conscience and not "Huntamade"
P.S. BTR-82A (recently delivered from the Russian Federation) in the screens I do not see where they are?

Hi Sasha!
Our BMP-2 grilles would not be inadequate either, cheap and cheerful.

Skating, there are still no paddles. The crews say weird, too pale for the Syrians.

It would not hurt ours for a long time to write off obsolete BMP-2s and replace them with at least BMP-3s.

No, 85% of brain recruits lack for BMP-3. This car is not for those who are now being called up for motorized infantry. I agree that with a big mess, a better contingent will go and machine service will improve. But for the army that now has such a machine, it is permissible only for regular units. Those. brigades of contractors. For conscripts BMP-2 or Kurganets maximum. BTR-80 or 90, I would leave the same for contractors, rear and reconnaissance units.

And I do not agree with you only at this point. The contingent with a big mess will be worse.

[Lexa-149]

following your logic, it is necessary to equip the recruits with stone axes. And where can we get a trained mob-reserve?

[KGB WATCH YOU]

P.S. BTR-82A (recently delivered from the Russian Federation) in the screens I do not see where they are?

The contract was only signed, delivery next year probably.

[Приговор]

The so-called "screens" are not new. Even in Afghanistan, ours made them out of beds. It is a pity that industry and specialists did not pay attention to this.

[Rebus]

Before Afghanistan, much earlier. Here is a photo of the T-34 near the Brandenburg Gate, in Berlin.

[RusDV]

cheap and cheerful .... test results would still ... Lattices have long been installed on the armor, but I have never seen a test video ...

[Zomanus]

Very similar to the crafts of Ukrainian soldiers.
It would be interesting to see the test video
of these protective structures, for example, our PTR.

I’m never a specialist, but I remember how much humor there was when Ukrainians began to weigh their Pepelians with such screens.

[user]

when Ukrainians began to weigh their pepelats with such screens

If my memory serves me, then they tried to apply such protection against faust patrons, not to mention Chechnya and other later conflicts, which means that Ukrainians are not pioneers, but were kidding not about defense, but about artisan production.

Ukrainians have more cells. I wanted to write everything about it and forgot. The more mesh, the more likely that the shell will crawl into it ...

[Navuxonastupil]

Khe ... potato puddings ... T-34s were also hung up with shell nets from the beds by the end of the Great Patriotic War! And here the invention is direct, the know-how is straight !!!))) The need for inventions is tricky ...

And where does the article say that this is Belarusian know-how? Do not distort ...

Another T-34 with armored nets from the beds was hung up by the end of World War II!

Yeah, and the SU - 24 was scared by the Khibiny Merkan destroyer!
Nets were made in workshops; there were no beds there.

[vagrant]

Well, it’s necessary to look for excuses before the sun-like, to show your work. I watched this program, I was ashamed of these clowns as they swan.

[Oldman]

What excuses are we talking about? Please explain.

[raid14]

REs work 50 to 50, it all depends on the case where the grenade hits and collapses on the grill or works when it comes into contact with the RE.

[roskot]

Everything new is well forgotten old.

[Altona]

Lattice screens and all? And I thought, maybe a new yoptiku or what kind of thread electronic brains for a tank FCS ...

[Afinogen]

It is not necessary to mount the gratings, but to install the "Arena".

[ramzes1776]

There will be tandem pshshkam in the drum to these grids.

[Urri]

Quote: ramzes1776

Not really. The tandem is designed to overcome the combined protection of the BTT, which is protected, in addition to the main reservation, also with dynamic armor. Note that no one took the lattice into serious consideration. You see, there are crazy people in the village with their ideas :-))). But a correctly made and installed lattice destroys the warhead of the GHG rocket not only until the formation of a cumulative jet of primary and secondary charges, but also, with a significant degree of probability, even before the fuse of the primary charge comes into contact with the main armor. There are features of the manufacture of such grids. They are not so easy to identify. The war in Syria, Iraq, in the Donbass showed this.
This is just the case of an asymmetric response to the threat, when protection from a technologically complex and expensive means of attack is carried out by cheap measures. The asymmetric solution closest in efficiency is the fight against the satellite constellation by launching rusty nails into the wagon’s orbit.

[raid14]

To increase the efficiency of the gratings will help: 1 material, high-strength steel, and not a simple "raw meat" from which they made and installed the electronic equipment on the Ukrainian "wunderwaffe".
2 Sharpening the plates of the outer edge of the RE in order to reduce the contact surface with the grenade piezoelectric fuse.

And I saw a documentary. Our officers fired from a captured grenade launcher (1945, Berlin) with approx. 50 m on a damaged T-34 with a bed net. Output is a useless attribute!

[fa2998]

For minusovalschikov, I recommend the series "Domestic grenade launchers" - there are these frames. For what I bought and sold for it!

[peter-tank]

Great thought of the Belarusian gunsmiths, no doubt. It is necessary to study and generalize the experience of the combat use of BTT in local wars and conflicts, there is also no doubt. But ... Which of the members of the forum served in the infantry? Who imagines the front lower inclined armored plate BMP, which is actively operated on the roads? This trellised screen until the first serious pit will hold. The same can be said of the side screens. Why save in peacetime and reinvent ancient bicycles? There has long been a development of active protection, dynamic protection - they must be put. RB is a fairly wealthy state. And to look at the poor (Ukraine, Syria) and copy their remedies, used due to lack of resources, is, in my opinion, a step back.

Here is an example of the realization of the thoughts of Syrian gunsmiths for you to familiarize yourself. Based on study and generalization. The problem you designated, IMHO, has been resolved.

Jews used a similar "armor of beggars" on their "merkava". I mean chains with a load.

Well, not only that. In addition to the one indicated by you, you need to install the plates not fan-shaped, but fan-shaped in increments of 2 degrees, the parameter of the ratio of the plate thickness to its width is extremely important, welding should be done in such a way that when the plate breaks from the rack, the plate turns with its edge facing the PG body, and not flat across jets. Yes, there are also other minor nasty things :-)))

[Lexa-149]

BMP-2d have long been invented
And this amateur performance from the category of "need for invention is cunning." The armor of BMP and armored personnel carriers is bulletproof. The armor penetration of the PG-7vl round is 500mm. Will these grilles save? And putting them away from the armor by more than 0,5 meters will make the car huge.
