The protective grille did not help: a cumulative RPG-26 grenade broke through an armored car through (video)

97
The journalists of the Zvezda channel filmed an RPG-26 grenade launcher video test to show how a cumulative grenade operates when it hits a protective grid installed on an armored vehicle, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta.



The developer of the grenade launcher Pavel Sidorov attended the test. The transporter MT-LB became the tested armored vehicle.

“As expected, the lattice screen did not completely save the car’s side from the cumulative projectile. He broke through the screen, and the cumulative jet burned through the car, coming out from the back side, ”- says the newspaper.

The publication notes that “in the experiment, far from being the most powerful and modern grenade launcher was used, however, even this was enough for such a result”.



The debate about the usefulness (uselessness) of protective screens has been going on for a long time. But with a new force, they broke out after ka from Syria began to come photographic materials depicting various armored vehicles, "protected" by similar structures.

              The question was not whether it will break through or not break through the armor, but whether the lattice will save.
              a full-fledged grille (according to the statistics of use by the coalition in Afghanistan) "saved" over 40% (if we take into account that they did it under a known threat - to protect against Soviet RPG7) destroys a grenade without detonation or a cumulative funnel, detonates a grenade at a distance from the body with a possible by changing the direction of the shock stream, or at least reducing the likelihood of breaking light armored vehicles with the subsequent inflow of the shock wave.
              And the fact that they got stuck and showed full pornography is even a little embarrassing for our military, which makes it possible to shoot and make such programs to journalists who did not even serve in the army

                You did not notice one nuance! The lattice did not prevent the charge from detonating, and modern cumulative grenades are equipped with a metal lining of the funnel, so that a small increase in the distance to the armor not only does not interfere, but even improves the damaging effect! Example: shown on the same site in VO, cassette carriers and armor-piercing, intelligent blocks that hit armored vehicles from a distance of one hundred - fifty meters, as well as anti-aircraft mines.

          I will say more: the lattice is not chosen the most correct .. The lattice should consist of cutting blades of not the mildest steel, as it were .. Able to deform the grenade body (horizontal metal stripes)
          I also add that the lattice nevertheless saved it from the main damage in the form of a breach in the armor. If there was a landing in the car, then there would be one or two dead (those who were unlucky to get in the way of the cumulative jet) and a little lightly injured with metal splashes and splinters ... If they were lucky, they would have cost lightly wounded. And if the landing was at least in light armored overalls or winter hb, then there wouldn’t be such ones (curtsy towards the runik).

            the problem is that against the RPG-26 grenade, even a normal cutting grate would not work. Because, unlike the grenades for RPG-7, the RPG-26 grenade has 2 fuses. An additional inertial fuse is just designed for all sorts of gratings, tearing a piezoezbite fuse chain or deforming a cone.

            So the destruction of the grenade with RPG-26 does not work. All that remains is a premature detonation with a decrease in armor penetration. But for this, the grill should be carried much further from the side + the thickness of the main armor should be higher (to feel the effect). A submitted for testing multi-purpose tractor for easy booking even the "pencil" will pierce. smile

          I agree. they would have another experiment at UAZ set. We would take a sheet of homogeneous steel, say a meter wide, grind it with this RPG, look, yeah break through 900mm (I conditionally say), then into a similar leaf, but already crated and from a similar RPG, shmalnuli, yeah penetration is already 800mm, then it makes sense, or breaking through still 900mmthen there’s no use and this is a translation of shots and senseless destruction of equipment.

          There is only one way out on this technique - to prevent a grenade from exploding. That is - a knife lattice: breaks the chain of the piezoelectric bomb + deforms the cumulative funnel.

          The problem is that it does not work against grenades with an inertial fuse: this fuse has no chain and works almost instantly when braking the grenade, so the funnel does not have time to collapse.

        Punches. More precisely, it shifts the layers of metal by colossal pressure. Under the influence of a cumulative jet, the metal begins to behave like a liquid, remaining a solid substance. It's all about pressure that far exceeds the yield strength of the metal. And the temperature there is not high. About 450-500 degrees ...

      The interaction of the armor and the cumulative jet occurs according to the laws of hydrodynamics...


      The material of the jet spreads in the direction opposite to its velocity vector. At the boundary of the jet and barrier materials, pressure arises, the value of which (up to 12-15 t / sq.cm) usually exceeds the tensile strength of the barrier material by one or two orders of magnitude. Therefore, the material of the barrier is taken out ("washed out") from the high pressure zone in the radial direction.

        The reinforcement is round, and on the BTR-80 the upgraded UVZ is a metal tape, most likely made of special strong steel, when passing through such a grid, the RPG grenade collapses, like a cumulative funnel, and accordingly it cannot form a cumulative stream ... Naturally, if a grenade will fall into the edge of this grate, it will work ... And of course this grate does not provide 100% protection ... But in some cases it helps ...

    There was a video where Ukrainians tried different grenade launchers on gratings. The result of a 50x50 grenade, if it didn’t break, turned and the jet beat to the side or just an explosion without a cumulative effect. But with RPG-7 there is 100% penetration. So it depends on what angle the grenade with the grate meets.

      So that the grenade does not work with the desired effect, it must fall into the grill rod, and if it goes between the rods, then everything will work, as it should.

        If the grenade would have hit the head part of the fuse between the rods of the grate, then, depending on the rigidity of the grate, the grenade body itself would have been destroyed, and only its fragments would have reached the armor. Most likely, the electrical circuits connecting the piezoelectric element in the head part from the subversive charge in the bottom part of the fuse would be destroyed. The body of the grenade in the head is made of thin aluminum sheet. But the probability of such a hit is very small.

          The RPG-26 grenade has an additional inertial fuse, which, when hit in an obstacle, fires independently of the piezoelectric fuse. Moreover, he does this before the funnel is significantly deformed (a maximum of 5-7 cm will pass before the grenade is detonated).

    With such a cheap tandem RPG, you can ruin the enemy’s military economy ... you won’t get enough armored vehicles for millions of such RPGs in the hands of ordinary soldiers ... cheap and cheerful.

    So, even the most lightly armored specimen was chosen as a target.

    The test condition was to establish the ability to count the screen (that is, the lattice) from the RPG, and everything else was nonsense.

    The experiment is extremely unsuccessful. Firstly, the lattice of handicraft production and has a design that has long been legitimately considered ineffective. Modern anti-cumulative gratings are cooked from sheets ~ 5 mm thick with a certain interval. In this case, the effect of warhead deformation is achieved before the cumulative stream is triggered and changed. When executed correctly, they do not allow a combat element to correctly perform its work with a probability of 0.5-0.6. In addition, the addition of the lattice with ceramic elements covering the surface of the armor or additional obstacles behind it, leads to a sharp decrease in the efficiency of the cumulative jet. And the fact that they fired from a grenade launcher at MTLB is generally fake. He makes his way into the board with the usual 5,45 cartridge.
    And I got tired of already writing here ... the cumulative jet interacts with the armor material according to the laws of interaction of viscous fluids. She does not burn anything.

    Then someone wants to sit in this car under the blow of a new RPG? Recently, there was an article somewhere from the Ural Vogon. They wrote that they tried to hang gratings with a tape thickness of 1 cm and the effect is the same - breaking the death of the crew! Dill tried to hang concrete slabs - death!

    What is wrong with accuracy? Is there some kind of manipulation? I am not an expert, but I was impressed that the car was punched through. The armor of the MT-LB is not very thick, but one side of the car should, as it were, serve as a screen for the other side, and much more durable than any grill. And even carried out at a great distance. Nevertheless, even this "screen" did not help! So the grill, whether it is factory or homemade, will not help any more. This is all just my theoretical reasoning. I also know that the installation of grilles is the world armored mainstream. But here's an example, as they say before your eyes! On tanks, a grill can and will help in consequence of the greater thickness of the armor, but on an armored personnel carrier - a picture on the face ...

      The grill must also be properly welded. From the right material. At the right interval. So that the grenade either collapses BEFORE the fuse works, or the axis of the grenade turns to the side.
      Of course, no tiling, ammunition, or ceramics will save the tandem ammunition. It remains to rely only on KAZ.
      And the armored personnel carrier ... armored armored personnel carrier easily breaks thermobaric ammunition. Moreover, together with the crew, passengers and the opposite side.

      If the cumulative jet is formed, then the MTLB board will not be a screen. Wrong jet obstruction. From the experience of shooting "Storm". The target is a real tank, the location is oblique. The missile hit the cannon mask. The jet - pierced the mask of the gun - pierced the breech of the gun and practically pierced the rear wall of the tower (a "ghoul" formed outside).

      The essence of the lattice is not that the grenade be initiated on it and the cumulative stream does not reach the armor, but that the edges of the lattice should destroy the grenade itself and the cumulative funnel of this grenade - then the cumulative stream will not form! Yes, this lattice will not give 100% protection as no means of protection will give it ... But you should not neglect it, especially since there is no other option at all ...

    Absolute protection, as I understand it, does not exist at all. Plus, firstly: as correctly noted above, the car is not the most armored. Secondly: if there is a possibility that such a lattice will protect from impact or reduce its power, then it is better to have it. Even if it protects in 20 cases from 100.
    By the way, do the lattices play the same role on "Armata"? This tank doesn’t dare to moan or ridicule.

    The lattice, even the factory one, gives 50% that the charge will work prematurely / collapse and 15-20% that the armor will not be pierced at all (this is if the lattice on an armored personnel carrier / infantry fighting vehicle on a tank has a much higher chance of getting through without breaking it). This is not a panacea, but an extra chance to survive the landing / crew.
    I will not repeat what was said about the strip, the quality of the metal, the installation angles, they said before me.

    P.S. And they would have withered away from the acacia with a land mine, the motoler would have torn the heart to pieces. The explosion and consequences would be incomparably more beautiful, and we can conclude that the lattice is not needed.

    For some reason, everyone forgot about the chains. Yes, the grilles do not protect. Only changing the path of the grenade can save the crew and the car. In the Middle Ages, large developing cloaks rescued knights from arrows flying in the back. In fact, from without additional screens, it is very difficult to destroy a tank from an RPG, even at short distances in a real battle. I also saw the anti-grenade maneuver for lighter armored vehicles, when the car, fearing defeat on board, moves not in a straight line, but in an arc. By the way, it works.
