Expert on open hatches on Syrian T-90 and new dynamic protection

The Internet continues the discussion of the video that captured the militants' attempt to destroy the T-90 tank of the Syrian army from the TOW-2A anti-tank complex. For some military specialists, this episode caused conflicting feelings, writes in his article for Messenger of Mordovia Lev Romanov.

Expert on open hatches on Syrian T-90 and new dynamic protection


“Of course, it’s great that the base of the T-90 battle tank withstood an American anti-tank missile, but the fact is that they used weaponwhich in the USA is considered not the newest, ”the author notes.

The US military is already armed with more modern versions of the TOW-2. At the same time, "the main dynamic defense of Russian tanks", like over a quarter century ago, is still" Contact-5 "." Is it able to neutralize the BGM-71F TOW-2B?

“Russian gunsmiths have long since created a third-generation dynamic defense, the Relic, which even 10 was adopted for years ago, but for some strange reasons, the army still hasn’t bought it. "Relic" is not only much better than the "Contact-5", "holds" various kinds of ammunition, it provides a significantly higher overlap of the projections of the tank. Thanks to this, the number of vulnerabilities on combat vehicles is significantly reduced, of which there are especially many in the most massive modernized T-72B3 tank, ”writes Romanov.

“The incident with the T-90 in Syria has once again demonstrated the need for closed machine gun installations on tanks. Everyone saw how the tank commander fired in the direction of the enemy with a large-caliber machine gun, while being protected by armor, ”he notes.

According to the expert, if the T-90 were T-72B3, the fighter would inevitably die.

“Speaking of open manholes in Syrian T-90. Tankers were forced to keep them open because of the heat in the fighting compartment. But the temperature in Aleppo that day was only + 17-20 degrees Celsius. What will be closer to the summer? ”, The author asks.

Being in a closed tank in a Middle Eastern climate is difficult even for local crews.

“The thing is that the tanks were transferred to the Syrians from those that were in the Russian army. And for our fighters, in the opinion of some officials in uniform, such a necessary thing in the heat as air conditioning is an excessive luxury. So, it is not surprising that the hatches will continue to be open despite the prohibitions and potential danger, ”explains Romanov.

According to him, Algeria, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan T-90С come with air conditioning. In Azerbaijan, for example, “in general, the most advanced version of the T-90C was installed, on which the latest version of the Shtora optical-electronic suppression system was also installed,” the article notes.

At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry's purchase of T-90 tanks stopped 5 years ago. “All this time, not new but only upgraded T-72B3 tanks with reduced characteristics were purchased and continue to be purchased for Russian troops: without the Curtains, without a closed machine-gun installation, without air conditioners and with outdated dynamic protection,” Romanov states.

          "Experts" are not our comrades at all. The hatch is open for sure because the gunner got out to watch the results of the shooting. By the way, evidence of this is clearly available information about the location of the ATGM launcher, the barrel looks exactly there. Surely before the missile was launched, they had already fired at the launcher's position and thought that the target had been destroyed.
          That's why the T-72 hatches are closed in the summer. Air conditioning delivered? smile

            - Babakhkanistra VV on the roof. Explosion.
            - broads runs into the tank and throws point BB. Explosion.
            - grenades fly into the breaches / ripped / open hatches.

                It flies not just to the Americans, who tanks more or less competently used (almost all of them having beaten up the Abrash and even Bradley was from IEDs), but to the Iraqis, for whom a tank standing in a position without infantry is the norm.

          The cumulative jet does not create excessive pressure, since it is a jet of metal, not gas. In the case under discussion, the detonation of the missile along with the dynamic protection units created "excess pressure" which concussed the gunner through the open hatch.
          The hatches are kept open so that in case of ignition of charges in the combat unit, leave the car as soon as possible. However, in the presence of DZ, this habit played a cruel joke with the crew.

            An open hatch in the heat of heat will not add, except that the dust, the cumulative pressure jet will kill the crew, or at least it will beat so that you can’t leave the car yourself. As for the concussion from undermining the DZ, I probably agree. Although in this case it is more likely not a concussion, but a fierce betrayal, judging by the speed with which he kicked from the tank.

                What pressure? Weird question. The pressure of a directed explosion penetrating with the jet. Or do you think that the detonation of the cumulative charge is limited only by a burnt hole in the board? A fighter on the ears got it by itself.
                Just getting tinnitus and shell shock is not exactly the same thing. Perhaps limited to the ears just because the hatch was open.

                  This is as real as if you throw a grenade into the room, close the door immediately and get a shell shock through the keyhole.
                  A shock wave CANNOT penetrate a thick-armored barrier through an opening pierced by a cumulative jet, because the diameter of such an opening is negligible, and it is impossible to transmit any significant impulse through it. Accordingly, excessive pressure cannot be created inside the armored object.

                I learned from the subject subtracted that armor pressure is a myth. Okay, let's say. They also write there, the jet temperature is 3500-4000 * C, the jet velocity is 10-12km / s, the pressure is 200-250 thousand atmospheres i.e. 20-25 tons / cm2! Do not contradict the initial installation of the myth. The jet parameters just say the opposite.

                  The pressure is indicated at the point of formation of the jet consisting of the metal of the lining of the funnel.
                  The jet is focused using the explosive, and the shock wave from the explosion does not focus anything and it diverges in all directions.

                    But the jet then penetrates with such pressure and speed. The wheel, for example, is also pumped through a thin nipple. In any case, I can’t say for sure, I didn’t burn in the tank, I did not invent or test the charge. But for some reason, tankers support this myth, from whose words I made my opinion.

                      The cumulative ammunition can break through thin armor with gases and there will be a hole with a fist, then yes, you can get a barotrauma. With a thick one such a number will not work, the products of the explosion will get inside, but not in a critical amount.

          All armies of the world are characterized by shortcomings in one sphere or another. And equally significant flaws. There are no exceptional armies in this regard. And this is not due to the quick wits of the generals and ensigns, this is due to the unification of the weapons platform. They seek to reduce all weapons to universality by types and theaters of possible military operations. The financial factor is at the forefront.

Tanks require a real material and technical base (hangars, service, supply of fuel and ammunition) and trained crews - and this is a worse cost than purchasing tanks.

      NOT happy. Why?

      Because at the time of the decision to refuse the purchase of T-90, the situation was as follows:
      - T-90 were purchased by the MO at 65 vehicles per year;
      - the army demanded an urgent replacement or modernization of about 2-2,5 thousand tanks;
      - in the first line units and constant readiness, the most popular were the T-72A / B of the Soviet release, besides them were also T-62 and even T-55AM;
      - the planned rate of replacement and repair of the tank fleet has not been fulfilled for more than 15 years;
      - The war of 08.08.08/XNUMX/XNUMX showed that even in the divisions of constant readiness, tanks were lagging behind the tanks of the countries of limitrophy in the technical characteristics.

      In short, the choice was this:
      - continue to purchase T-90 - and as a result have in the coming years only 2-3 combat-ready TD / MSD on the T-90; the rest should be left with worn-out and obsolete T-72s from the USSR era (and pray that there would be no war - because if it started, these tanks would be only targets);
      - Or, instead of the T-90, purchase three times as many T-72B3 (more precisely, they will already have T-72B in the army amortized), which will allow re-equipping all first-line divisions with new tanks in 5-6 years. Yes, the T-72B3 is an openly budget modification (the price of the T-72B3 is 2,5 times less than the usual T-90A). But it surpasses the previous main tank of our BTV - T-72A / B. And its purchase allows you to raise the average level of TB of all divisions and not just in the Moscow Military District.

First, there is a rather thin armor plate on top, and secondly, there are enough open areas and there are significant gaps between the DZ blocks.

      1. These missiles are not in Syria. They are not even enough by the Yankees themselves.
      2. The control system for this missile remained the same: the position of the missile is determined by the optical sensor on the launcher by the lamp and the tracer in the tail of the ATGM. And this means that it can be crushed by the CEP - and then the ATGM will turn into a NAR at best (and at worst - burrow into the ground or fly away to the zenith due to the erroneous value of the correction command).

    I am interested to know what kind of expert he is who talks about hatches (preferably a surname, education and a photo) and then some kind of faceless. I drove calmly at +35 in T-72. Since the days of Afgan, I was taught to open hatches not because of the heat, but because the cumulative jet does not create pressure inside the fighting compartment that kills the crew, but only strikes what comes along the way and it is easier to leave the burning car, this is already GREAT PATRIOTIC. Again the article "IT".

Even on the T-62, all crew members had their own fan, dust such that with an open hatch ... oops. The fighters did not faint, except on a parade ground. So it’s possible to live without kondeya. But another question is whether the condo will work after a blank gets into the tower? But without modern protection, it is necessary to put in the tank those who refused to buy it in Syria, I think the one who survives will be a fierce supporter of the installation of the most reliable protection.

    All this time for the Russian troops were purchased and continue to be purchased not new, but only modernized T-72B3 tanks with reduced characteristics

    An idiotic remark. These are tanks from the troops, which in Omsk will be upgraded to T-72B3 level and returned to the army again. At the Omsktransmash plant, the tanks are completely disassembled, they make anti-corrosion treatment of the hull, they weld niches for the installation of DZ, they put a new engine, a new gun, Sosna-U sight. This is called - the modernization of army equipment. No one is buying used tanks !!! the purchase of new tanks such as the T-90AM is many times more expensive, rearmament will take more than one year, but on the way Armata. So, to abandon it, put thousands of T-72s in the army for scrap and begin to rearm on T-90AM? Or buy both tanks at once? We are not the Union, 3 main tanks will not pull!

    Let's leave the T-90 with its modifications aside for now. Let's talk about the T-72B3, how many times has this machine appeared in all its projections and will appear more than once on the screens of our boxes. The T-72 is a superclassic of the genre, it seems, and the sights have been updated and the thermal imager has been installed, but the dynamic protection on the tower is like the teeth of a periodontal patient - with gaps of two fists. I'm not a tanker, but I'm worried. And the irrepressible attachment of our army to this tank is also alarming. After all, by the will of the decisions of the Ministry of Defense, he remained the dominant male, not the T-80 and not the T-90, but the T-72, the oldest of all. It is clear that Armata is preparing with her entire family, it is clear that those T-72s that are shown on TV are probably cooler than some versions of the T-64. But there is still a huge number of T-72s in the troops, and they, knowing our army, are probably not as "vigorous" as the Alabinsk biathletes. There go and version "abruptly" by age and condition. But they are the very armored fist that should meet NATO and others like them. Doesn't it look like 1941? Reminds me. We must rather move away from Soviet-Serdyukovism, and this probably first of all should not look like another wave of modernization of the T-72, but its gradual withdrawal from the army with the current replacement by the T-90S and not in export modification, but like the machines of the Japanese - at home, that is, in full bloom, the Japanese correctly believe that the best versions in terms of equipment and saturation with innovations should first of all be with them, and for export - diluted, they love themselves, and why we don't love ourselves so much, Armata apparently, it won't be soon, so a reliable and more modern tank than the T-72 is needed. No matter how good the 72nd is, he is already just old and living out his life thanks to the bad memory of Mr. Taburetkin. Yes, the introduction of new T-90s requires money, as always there is no money in the country (when for something needed) 72 tanks can be sold, T-72s will be bought, they can be sold just on the wave of biathlon popularity, of course having previously made of them, for example, the T-72B4 version.

      Everything is correct. It was to replace these tanks that the T-72B3 was made. And it is with them that we need to compare it.
      The T-72B3 is the development of the original concept of the T-72 tank as a mass tank in support of the T-64 / T-80 elite units. Even the USSR did not have the money to equip all BTVs with first-class tanks. What can we say about the Russian Federation.

      At the time of the decision on T-72B3, the vast majority of tank battalions were sitting on the T-72, issued back in the Soviet Union. And even if they had decided to purchase 100-120 T-90 per year, then these machines would still not be enough even to replace all tanks of the first line units in real time.

      In fact, the only factory producing the T-80 and its heir remained in Nezalezhnaya. Tank production LKZ died in the first term EBN.

      To replace all tanks in the army with a modern analogue based on the T-72, you need to sell 10-20 thousand tanks of various configurations. A modern tank costs 6-9 million dollars, used by 72 - 0,5-1,5 million. Is it too much? The Japanese generally do not export armored vehicles, especially tanks - the main part of them is the prehistoric Type 74, which will yield in some respects to the T-62.

By the way, evidence of this is clearly available information about the location of the ATGM launcher, the barrel looks exactly there. Surely before the missile was launched, they had already fired at the launcher's position and thought that the target had been destroyed.
    That's why the T-72 hatches are closed in the summer. Air conditioning delivered? smile

    At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry's purchase of T-90 tanks stopped 5 years ago. “All this time, not new but only upgraded T-72B3 tanks with reduced characteristics were purchased and continue to be purchased for Russian troops: without the Curtains, without a closed machine-gun installation, without air conditioners and with outdated dynamic protection,” Romanov states.

    The T-90 is an excellent tank, but it has a design flaw. All this wonderful electronic guidance, protection systems and air conditioning, require a breakthrough of electricity. To enable all this, you constantly need to drive the main engine. If the crew decided, or was forced, to save the resource, then it becomes clear why everything was turned off. American and others solve the problem by installing an additional generator to power the electronics in the parking lot. I remember when the epic with the T-90 was just beginning, the mass of copies was broken precisely around the need for additional. power, ours decided not to set. We see the result in the war, many thousands of beautiful appliances do not work due to ruble savings.

    Why is abroad the best, but not for yourself? Yes, just the same T-72 abroad is not so easy to sell, or rather, most buyers simply will not buy it because of its obsolescence!

    When buying equipment, what do they pay attention to? On the technique of a potential enemy!
    What tanks can the T-72 fight on equal terms with? Who is the opponent of Azerbaijan? The adversary of Azerbaijan is Armenia! What tanks do Armenia have - T-72! Accordingly, would Azerbaijan buy a T-72? No, I would not buy, because superiority can provide only the T-90.

    Inside Russia, the situation is different. There are a huge number of tanks that can not withstand on equal terms with any modifications of the advanced NATO tanks. What do they decide to do? Increase the power of the gun, providing the ability to use new types of ammunition. Protection is changed mediocrely because the effect of parity with a likely enemy is planned to provide a corny large number of tanks. Given the weakness of the defense, optics, and the OMS - I think the probable loss of crews in a collision with NATO is high. At the same time, in the event of a collision with China (or hypothetically Ukraine), the chances of the T-72B3 will be quite high.

In fact, it was a T 90 release in the early 90s, it had a turret from a T 72B and the rocket hit the optical element of the Curtain, that is, the cumulative jet essentially went into the slippery slope of the tower - and there was nothing to do with any dynamic protection.

        But the missile didn’t fall into the dynamic defense, and there wasn’t any kind of DZ operation there.

          What was the explosion? It seems that the missile is not OF.

    At the same time, "the main dynamic protection of Russian tanks, like more than a quarter of a century ago, is still Contact-5." Is it capable of neutralizing BGM-71F TOW-2B? “Russian gunsmiths have long ago created a third-generation dynamic protection“ Relikt ”, which even 10 years ago was even put into service, but due to some strange circumstances, the army has not yet begun to buy it.


    ... The same strange circumstance is the almost complete absence of manual anti-tank weapons, such as even the outdated "Vampire" superior to the RPG-7, which is actually the only such type of anti-armored vehicles in the RF Armed Forces.

    At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry's purchase of T-90 tanks stopped 5 years ago. “All this time, not new but only upgraded T-72B3 tanks with reduced characteristics were purchased and continue to be purchased for Russian troops: without the Curtains, without a closed machine-gun installation, without air conditioners and with outdated dynamic protection,” Romanov states.


    It turns out a century-long worship of a foreigner and a complete disregard for the life and health of our own soldier and the people as a whole. When will we finally protect our own people? Why do we need a struggle for the life and well-being of strangers with complete indifference to our own. Then, in general, why do we need all these games to obtain supposedly better relations between the Russian Federation and the countries of the world? For whom? It doesn’t matter how much the wolf doesn’t feed, he will look into the forest ... passed.
    Probably, it is necessary to help such countries in certain areas. However, we must first of all think about the well-being and life of our own long-suffering people ...

    Well, don’t blame military leaders for dishonesty so indiscriminately. A tank is not a crossover shm.arovozok, it also fights, and sometimes it gets into it. Maybe a condo will catch up with such a marshmallow when it is hit that the crew will die without an explosion.

      Our designers (of which there are less and less) are not far from man. Those who write TK are far from the person taking into account cost savings.

    Once again, I don't remember which one in a row, I will say: "Oh, these experts", especially foreign ones. One gets the impression that they stopped in the mid 70s and more, what was designed and produced they do not know, or do not want to know. And there is also a guess why this is happening? The fact is that American scientific thought stopped precisely at that period, and, in order to at least somehow be at the level of equipment of our army, they are simply a gateway to everyone, so that they would be afraid, but dig a little, so everything, zvizdets insists immediately. Here's one example. Why f 22 never took part in hostilities? And generally speaking. Why was it taken out of production if it is so good. The answer can be found in the article: f22 street of its pilots. I think everyone already knows about Abrams and RPG7.

    But what if the refrigerant from the air conditioner does not lead to suffocation of the crew if the line is damaged? As far as I understand, due to the machinations of different figures, safe, and also, domestic refrigerants are prohibited. And poisonous and fire hazardous are used.

    Outside, they are quite solid. How do these tanks look from the inside? Maybe there, for example, throw a grenade and the end of the tank "terminator".

    There will be air conditioners. Not immediately, of course. Of course in vain the hatch was opened. Still, they waved the flag. The heat of the bones does not break. Shoot, close everything that closes. Of course there is a limit of possibilities. But here it was possible to work.

    The quality of the training of specialists in the Syrian army is of course low, however this applies to all Arabs. There is also the fear of being smeared and the heat and carelessness ... They would smear from "Jewellin" - there would be an omelette for everyone ... However, in this case, it is unlikely that they were closed hatches ..


    On the territory of Syria (regardless of the identity of the troops) at least ONE Javelin is / was found?
    The phrase in the spirit of "if grandmother's" ... I especially liked the ending - and "However, in this case, it is unlikely that anything saved them, even the closed hatches."
    Recalled an excerpt in one of the books of the Stalker series -

    "A laborer inclined to drunkenness will not get rich, and he who puts a little on a little will gradually fall into decay. Wine and women will corrupt the intelligent, but he who associates with harlots will become even bolder; rot and worms will inherit him, and the insolent soul will be destroyed, - with Father Dormidont said with fire in his eyes. - But pour it. Besides, it's really bad with harlots here, men. " ))))

    What are you, right word.
