Media: this year in the Airborne Forces will begin to form tank companies

67
In the second half of this year, the formation of the Airborne Forces will begin tank the mouth, equipped with T-72B3, transfers TASS message from a military source.



"From the second half of the year, the formation of tank companies with T-72B3 tanks will begin, in the next two years they will expand to tank battalions",
said the source.

The agency notes that the official confirmation of this message does not have.

Last year, Air Force commander Vladimir Shamanov said that "six tank companies will appear in the Airborne Forces by the end of 2015 of the year."

Why these plans were not implemented by the deadline, the interlocutor did not specify.

Help agency: “The T-72B3 is the latest upgrade option for the T-72 tank. This model differs from its predecessors, in particular, with new sighting equipment and communication systems, dynamic protection "Relic", and a more powerful engine. This version of T-72 gained fame thanks to participation in the Tank Biathlon competition. ”

        Capture the airfield

        "Media: this year, the Airborne Forces will begin to form tank companies" No, no gentlemen. I read somewhere back last year that Russia wants to create new military transport aircraft capable of delivering in one fell swoop to any point on Earth 7 tanks "Armata" Thought to put it mildly an exaggeration. And here everything is like that and goes to this. Well, okay, as they say, "we will see further" hi

          This means that the concept by analogy with the US Marine Corps wins - "away from the sea", and we have the airborne forces "away from the air". A function of the seizure of nodes and the airfield gradually depart MTR (operations). Then it is better to transfer the Airborne Forces immediately to the T-90, as advanced combat-ready units. And at the same time Armatu’s heavy infantry fighting vehicle, and then our paratroopers will have enough time to attack the BMD in the forehead after passing a march in 300 km. The last time correct airborne and as intended used in Budapest 1956 of the Year. in all other conflicts, our conditionally heavy motorized infantrymen came second, after light conditionally landed airborne troops, who did not conditionally fight head-on against the enemy and far from the enemy's rear. hi

            As far as I was unable to google, tvnki from the air do not drop, the limit of parachute systems is 25 tons. That is, tanks will be dropped by VTA from captured airfields. In my opinion, the military branch does not play a special role in this case; it would be more expedient to work out the interaction between them. And being in the Airborne Forces tanks will have very limited use, provided that airfields are captured.

              Airborne Forces is our elite, the most combat-ready parts of Russia, fighting traditions and fighting spirit, they only fight on their heads better than everyone else ... Airborne Forces are mobility above all, and not necessarily throwing behind enemy lines as before .. Now air defense covers everything like that, a bat mouse will not slip ... It’s one thing for motorized rifles to drag for example to the Far East and quite different airborne airborne forces - paratroopers and light infantry fighting vehicles and everything else from the air, and tanks to our nearest airfield that can take them, motorized rifles for a week they will only go by train, provided that there is a train immediately. and this will not happen, but the Airborne Forces are already digging in and will take the line in a few hours !!!

              And this question is even older than "arrow / armor".
              "How" is solvable. Somehow they will end up together. But "whose" - ...
              There will be non-flying tanks at the Airborne Forces - infantry pulling for themselves. There will be no tanks - to anything. They don’t need the Air Force at all - they don’t fly, missiles - drones don’t shoot down. And the fleet does not need to - the land issues are still decided on the ground.
              And on land they are generally fish in the aquarium. Curious, beautiful, and no more.
              I've served in the airborne battalion of the tank brigade. There were two of them - for three tank battalions - two landing troops. One - with good motorized rifle training, to escort, and the other - with parachute and other show-offs. I got there from a motorized rifle regiment, so tankers glued me worse than near-army women. According to his youth, he chose the stupidities incorrectly, and then the glade was where the power was, and quietly moved to the normal infantry.
              Romance is romance, but having a howitzer division on the wire is more comfortable than one missile on a walkie-talkie, and even then.
              It is understandable - there will be nowhere to go without special forces. But special forces are not airborne.

          Yes, gentlemen. I read somewhere else last year.

          Airborne Forces are troops whose units are trained and equipped for airborne landing.
          If the need arises.
          And if it arises the need to act on the ground as a motorized rifle unit? Moreover, we now have fewer motorized rifles than, for example, border guards.
          The Airborne Command wants to have its own means of reinforcement in the form of these same tank companies or battalions.
          Yes, and throw 10-20-30 heavy VTA vehicles in the air through the air to the desired direction.
          It is advisable to have a separate tank regiment as part of the Airborne Forces for the most reasonable and problem-free organization of combat training and technical support, rather than attach the tank company to the parachute regiment, where it will be the fifth wheel in the cart.

        Well, it’s not quite so, unfortunately ... It’s just that the Airborne Forces are no longer throwing enemy lines behind, but the rapid movement of troops across OWN territory is first and foremost ... And there’s no problem flying to your nearest airfield to the scene of action and marching from there there isn’t any avant-garde that has already strengthened at the turn ... Nobody will do it faster and better, and it’s better to launch tactical missiles and artillery shells on the enemy’s heads, it’s almost impossible for a transport aircraft to break through the air defense system, but it’s now necessary to have mobile forces, especially considering the size of our country ...

      But for some reason in 2005, he formed an airborne assault component of the Airborne Forces - two airborne assault formations (76 guards airborne brigades of two-regiment composition and 31 guards single-battalion brigades of three-battalion composition). First of all, the "attack aircraft" will be armed with tanks.

      And this is precisely the comprehension of the experience of using the Airborne Forces over the past 40 years.

      Over and over again, in each of the conflicts, the Airborne Forces were used as an elite mobile infantry to strengthen motorized riflemen. And each time it turned out that the airborne forces are not enough for this firepower and security. And it was necessary to strengthen the parts of the reinforcement at the expense of those whom they should not reinforce - to give the Airborne Forces tanks and artillery of motorized riflemen and tankers. And with prolonged use - in general, transplant airborne assault on army equipment (345 ogvpdp an example).

      And so, in order not to ask the infantry for equipment for reinforcement every time, the Airborne Forces decided to acquire their own heavy equipment (talk about this has been going on since the days of Afgan). First there were Strela-10. Now - tanks. And it seems to me that the next will be SPGs.

        Yes, yes, and self-propelled guns must be, because we have some problems with artillery gunners in the Airborne Forces and the GRU, instead of finding the enemy and pointing artillery at them, our groups come into contact and not always successfully and without losses ... And it should be like this — they found, pointed, smashed everything to smithereens, approached, documented it on a digital camera, collected documents and samples if they stayed home ... But when some have artillery and others go, it’s always nonsense ... Especially when those who walk don’t even know how to direct artillery right on target or know but don’t do it because it needs to be coordinated somehow, but it’s all complicated, it’s easier, as usual, we found a group of spirits and shoot either we or us ... And this should not be, we should have an advantage over these gangs and thoughtful tactics!

        Very simply, the troops are not only thrown to the enemy in the rear, but also on their territory they must be moved very quickly to strengthen and defend certain directions, and the Airborne Forces are just the fastest that we have and the most combat! It's good that they were smart enough not to disband these units, otherwise some "smart people" have already tried under Yeltsin, like why do we need the Airborne Forces, everyone already has air defense systems ... But how, for example, to quickly transfer motorized riflemen to the Far East? No way, the train is only a week on the way !!! And the Airborne Forces - six hours later the paratroopers sat down and the BMD dug in and occupied the line, and the tanks and, in the future, the self-propelled guns will be unloaded at the nearest airfield, and from there they can march to strengthen the entrenched vanguard ... )

          The problem is that the Airborne Forces were fast while they were light. And as the weight increases, the speed of their transfer will be equal to the linear parts.
          Let me remind you that loading the T-72 into the IL-76 is a circus trick that so far only Indians perform. For the gaps on the sides between the tank and the fuselage in this case are about 15 cm.

          While the tanks and self-propelled guns load, fly, unload and reach the vanguard - they will roll it out already. For the basis of the firepower of the compound is artillery. And with her, landing is very bad.
          What can entrenched paratroopers oppose to the 152-155 mm self-propelled guns and the MLRS battery (without which no self-respecting tactical group now walks)? Nothing - they can neither find them nor get them.

      It's elementary ... Now the concept of the Airborne Forces is not a throw to the enemy's rear, but the mobile movement of troops across its territory ... For example, a conflict with China or Japan ... How long a motorized rifle regiment and a division will get there from the center of Russia - a month until the trains will be allocated while they are loaded, they will unload, and this is if the canvas is not blown up, or maybe longer ... And the Airborne Forces - infantry and infantry fighting vehicles directly from the air to the occupied line, while they dig in, tanks to the nearest airfield, and from there they will march and strengthen the entrenched vanguard. .. And there the motorized riflemen will arrive by train))) ... And we will send them "Caliber" to the rear ... Here is a new concept))) ..

      No. They are expanding according to the principle that the US has practiced in almost the 70s. An analogue of the corps of quick reaction forces, they then singled out 82, 101 and 6, seemingly lightly infantry, or 9th, I don’t remember, in a separate corps of constant readiness, and ours pack the airborne assault as a parachute landing technique, well, the first throw, and combined arms.

And the tanks will simply be transported to the nearest to the scene of action airfield and from there a march to the troopers already on the BMP already entrenched ... Wonderfully invented, no one has this !!! They also need to allocate enough self-propelled guns in sufficient quantities ... Nona Nonoi, but 152 mm Msta or the Coalition will not be superfluous, they will be hidden from afar and taken out further, well, the MLRS also needs airborne ...

We were specifically prepared for the fight against the landing. And you will knock them all down. And pull the heavy parts to the landing site. And a schukher is above his head.

Just all the last major exercises about it literally speak in plain text ... Especially if PAK-TA doesn’t fail me, up to 4 tanks in those tasks should be taken aboard (almost 1 tank platoon). And why the T-72B3, it’s just lighter than the T-90 by 4,5 tons, naturally, due to this, more ammunition and other things can be taken on board.

        Any army consists of units that differ in the type of training and, in particular, the capabilities of rapid deployment. The landing was originally created in order to be a highly mobile military branch designed for the fastest possible transfer.

        Delivery speed ... How long is the train with equipment and people and how long does it take to load a plane and throw it in the right area? In the first cases of the week, in the second hours! But tanks can also be sent to the nearest airfield to the scene of action 100 km and you can go under your own power, you can more ...

      Or maybe because the T-90 is no longer being manufactured, and nobody is going to take their tanks from the tankers? And the T-72B3 is now being supplied to the troops, so far they will arrive in time for them, and there the T-14 ...

    Shamanov is a far-sighted, practical, serious commander. He knows the technique; in Chechnya, the T-72 and the T-62 were mainly used. As the saying goes, a proven tit in hand is more like a crane but "raw" (T-14 "Armata"). And the deadlines are obviously running out to pack the winged infantry into armor ...

    These units (for the most part) play the role of rapid response units at the borders of the Russian Federation (they may continue). For stability in the conduct of hostilities in this case, heavy armored vehicles are needed. (at the beginning of this year he met in the media information that all parts of the airborne forces, parts of the MP and a number of other formations will enter the quick reaction force)

    In the second half of this year, the formation of tank companies equipped with T-72B3 will begin in the Airborne Forces
    IMHO, the landing should be better, Armata or t-90ms what

    Okay, everything is fine, but you don’t want to drop the tankers with a parachute. The tank, like other army equipment, has one that runs across the field with a range of 500 km.

      The paratrooper is designed for 15 minutes of battle (V. Margelov).
      Therefore, the tanks are not T-90, but only T-72 advanced. And then here some argue about Almaty for the landing ... On the T-72 and the 5th grader will leave, but for Almaty it is necessary to study!
      And the fitters immediately offer all the secrets to the enemy. Strategies ...))

        If for something you need three higher educations, then it is not a weapon, but a technical perversion. Strategic missiles and submarines are probably the exception, but there are few of them. But the tanks that need mechvody - engineers - candidates of science ...
        I have my opinion about the filling of Almaty, is not yet ready to share. But I already respect what I have already done the risk.

      EMNIP, the airborne forces have not had their tanks since the days of Afghanistan. Were attached from the ground forces.
      But in Afghanistan, the 345th Guards Rifle Regiment in 1982 received a T-62 company. However, by that time, only the name remained in the regiment's paratroopers - "as unnecessary, the airborne support units and the regiment's airborne service were disbanded", and the paratroopers moved to the BTR-70 and BMP-2.

    Winged infantry is formatted as a winged tank infantry .. Only somehow it does not fit with the concept of the use of airborne forces ..

    The best armor for the paratrooper is mother earth-trench, fire, maneuver and means of amplification ..

    Can rename the Airborne Forces Tank Airborne Forces (TVD)?

    Does religion prevent motorized rifle and tank units from being thrown by aviation?

    The Airborne Forces have long been a separate branch of the military, and if the Airborne Forces need tanks, it is easier to introduce them into the state than to beg every time from the army. I would not be surprised if the Airborne Forces have their own Iskanders and S-400s.
