Syrian experience: is a second gun needed for a T-72?


According to a number of military experts, an even more radical measure of empowerment tanks, would be the replacement of heavy machine guns with high-speed small-caliber guns. Such studies were carried out both in the West and in the USSR.



In modern Russia, this idea was returned to the creation of a new generation tank, known as the 195 Object. In addition to the most powerful 152-mm guns, it also had an 30-mm gun. There were also proposals to install 30-mm and T-90, however, in the metal this option, unfortunately, did not appear.

Already after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the Czechs began to carry out experiments on the installation of small-caliber guns on the T-series tanks. They created on the basis of the T-72 a modification of the “Modernity” of two variants: with two X-NUMX-mm anti-aircraft Oerlikon and one 20-mm 30-2.

A kind of development of Czech ideas was the design survey of engineers from the Slovenian company VALHALLA. They developed several options for upgrading the T-72 and M-84, as well as tanks of other models. Thus, in one of the options, a special module is mounted to the back of the tower, armed with a Bushmaster 25-mm gun or Rheinmetall Rh 20 202-mm gun, and the 23-mm 2-XXNXX can also be installed. In addition, this module is mounted machine gun caliber 14-mm and 7,62 / 30-mm automatic grenade launcher. Ammunition, depending on the type of gun: from 40 to 400 shots, 550 cartridges for machine guns and up to 1200 grenades. This combat module has a new aiming complex with a thermal imaging channel.



Another variant of the combat module can be armed with an 30-mm 2-42 gun, it can be replaced with a Rheinmetall of the same caliber or Zastava M86. There is also a 1 machine gun caliber 7,62-mm. Ammunition to 500 shots to the gun and 1400 cartridges for machine guns.

These combat modules greatly increase firepower and allow you to hit both ground and air targets.



These Slovenian proposals for upgrading old cars of the Cold War aroused some interest of visitors to the Eurosatory 2016 exhibition in Paris.

    The second gun is undoubtedly needed, and if it can also shoot at aircraft with automatic guidance, it’s fine at all. The commander will be given more work, but the strength of the tank and the possibilities will grow. Good thing.

      It's not a bad option to make a T-72 in the style of "Modern M2" ... but I think more of a rapid-fire machine gun is needed.

      An analogue of GAU-19A will do just fine .... it would be put on the T-72 "Gorod". The machine gun is powerful and rapid-fire ... with armor-piercing tape it will sew any wall and light armored vehicles of the enemy.

            I suggest going the other way. Who is the main enemy of the tank - aviation. Then, to a greater extent, our tanks need modules with small-sized vertical-launch missiles. Which work according to the scheme shot and forgot.


            And against the enemy artillery of the MLRS, preferably a tornado. Against the infantry a couple of mortars. Tighten a pair of surveillance radars to illuminate the tactical situation at 200km in the area. Airborne squad for platoon cover. Repair shop. Oh yes, the OTRK to smash the headquarters of enemies. And a nuclear reactor to increase autonomy. hi

            As well as a mobile dining room, a medical room, a swimming pool to relieve fatigue. A tank is a mobile fortress. Suspended as a Christmas tree with all sorts of missile defense and anti-missile systems, it will lose the main quality. Speed ​​and maneuver. This is a joke. But Syria showed that the barmalei are very well saturated with large-caliber machine guns and small-caliber artillery. Finishing them is problematic without artillery tanks and mortars. The author simply did not dig deep into the lessons of Syria., This is just one of the many problems of the combat use of troops. A probable adversary is also accumulating his own ways of solving such issues. We also solve such a problem without any aggravation. There is still time to solve this problem.

          Looking for what.
          If the main task is to defeat the target, which the gunner does not have time to direct the main armament, then the density of fire, and not the size of the BC, comes to the fore. Because this is by default a fairly rare occurrence.

          But even here you have to think. It is possible that there are better solutions. For example, the Israeli version, with shooting from mortars for installing an aerosol curtain of special fragmentation ammunition. Or an option with the installation of analogs of MON-200, mowing the entire sector. Or the installation of an analogue installation, which the Germans tried to ensure the safety of the landing from the BMP "Puma"

          Well, not so sure. Take for example Shilka. The weight of the shilka shell varies within 0,2 kg., One third heavier than the Kord cartridge. For a minute of continuous firing, the ammunition reserve in 3400 shells will weigh about 700 kg. this is approximately 1,5% of the mass of the tank itself. Not too critical. In addition, it should be noted that on Shilka itself, the number of shells in the ammunition did not exceed 3000 pieces.

          In my opinion, two mad tanks will be worse than 1 turret: 1 if you sculpt a turret on the turrets, it will "grow" and therefore the hit area (in) 2 turrets will increase, but to avoid overloading the tank, the armor will be weaker, which is a minus.

            The tank needs to be prepared for the concept of battle.

            If you develop a modular design and as an addition to fasten the desired module. It’s quite normal for it to succeed.

            There are certain statistics that there are several service trucks per tank. From this point of view, it’s not bad to have a car that will carry the necessary modules.

            If the tank is conducting a city battle, then it may make sense to add the desired module.

            In any case, there is an indisputable fact. Each tank pulls a string of maintenance equipment. Given the fact that the armies of the modern world are few, the emphasis is on manufacturability. That modular concept has a development path.

              Yes, for a big war, such a stray tank may not be very necessary, but for wars with barmales it is even needed. The point is that this in itself is not nonsense, it is a weapon necessary for the tank. Moreover, the implementation is quite possible. How much do you need? Well, our tanks need auxiliary weapons. Even just ammunition is not enough for the same 12,7 mm. It is very convenient. I'm not talking about limiting the elevation angles of a machine gun coaxial with a gun.
              But how to implement it? Well, as an additional removable module - quite a solution.

        To call the Terminator excellent means to sin greatly against the truth. The very idea of ​​BMPT is yes, promising. But the implementation of this idea by UralVagonZavod is complete crap.
        And a note - to destroy air targets, one gun is not enough, yes ... We need to find, accompany and direct them with something else. The necessary drive response is needed, a different set of avionics, and much more that the Terminator does not have.

    About "Modern" was already on VO, here, for example:


    The armament complex of the promising T-72M2 tank was supplemented with two additional guns. In special lifting containers at the rear of the tower, two KAA-200 automatic cannons of 20 mm caliber with ammunition were placed. Gun control tied to the panoramic sight of the commander. The mechanics allowed you to aim the guns vertically in the range from -4 to +35 degrees. Horizontal guidance was supposed to be performed by turning the entire tower. Additional small-caliber guns were intended to destroy lightly armored vehicles and enemy manpower on the ground, as well as to destroy low-flying aircraft located in the firing zone. Initially, two 20-mm guns were installed on the prototypes of the Modern tank. However, in the future, due to the ambiguity of the obtained characteristics, they were replaced with a single 30-mm 2A42, borrowed from the BMP-2 Soviet infantry fighting vehicle

    However, for some reason, it is not indicated anywhere whether this gun (s) has its own, personal, free-standing stabilizer.

    If they have, this is glorious, although this, IMHO, is not easy and not cheap.

    If they don’t have, these guns are useless when firing ... are useless (read - they are almost completely useless).

    This, of course, is all very brutal ... But not very smart. A blind tank will come out. With three crew members, m / v, gunner of the main armament and gunner of the auxiliary 30-mm gun. Without a commander.

    The tank commander, on the contrary, needs to be unloaded as much as possible from all functions except for monitoring and controlling the fire and maneuver of the tank in battle.
    And it is necessary to bother not by increasing the caliber of auxiliary weapons, but by increasing the commander's situational awareness. Not to drag a 30-mm cannon onto a tank, but an electro-optical surveillance system protected from bullets and shrapnel. With a constant 360-degree view, with a specialized computerized system that improves image quality, a target recognition system, a system that marks targets received from other units of the unit and infantry, with a system that marks "allied units" ...

    Well, those tasks that they are trying to assign to the 30-mm cannon are easily solved by improving the ammunition for the main tank gun. Up to the fight against low-flying targets. For example, what prevents to make an analogue of the "Kornetovskaya" air-defense missile with a proximity fuse? Or a high-speed UAS, which is planned to be used for a 57-mm anti-aircraft gun?

      Welcome.
      Well said.
      And then they dream of a ballistic tracked submarine ...

      The modern tank has enough firepower, only modern b / p serve.
      But with situational awareness in tanks there was always no ice. Improving this system will at times increase the effectiveness of a tank with existing weapons.
      A stabilized panoramic and tactical tablet to the commander, and this is at least.
      The system of vision through armor is the future, there, in addition to creating the system itself, there will also be a TTZ for psychologists). Not so all this is simple, but there is a clear future for this.

      To hit a target is not so difficult, but ... find it and correctly classify the danger of these goals ...)))
      No matter how strange it may sound, but it is SO.

      And for additional weapons:
      Tank, with its striking firepower, needs self-defense weapons.
      A simple PCT in a good stabilized DUM with 1000 oil in one tape.
      This is the weapon of the commander, he just needs to turn the headset on the 360, so let him, in passing, shoot off unnecessary parts of the body of any curious loitering with a seven on his shoulder.

        But will not be enough? Here, after all, first of all, a high density of fire is needed, once the commander of an individual grenade launcher was precisely targeted. Maybe in vain here on the site over the double-barreled MG-14Z giggled?
        And not just good stabilization is needed, providing high accuracy of the DUM fire during the rotation of the tower, but also an automatic target tracking. Again, to unload the commander as much as possible.
        And the "trunks" on the DUM should be replaceable. Depending on the task. Sometimes PCT behind the eyes. And sometimes you need 12.7, or even 40-mm AG

        In my opinion, the tank would not hurt to have equipment of the "Antisniper" type:
        "... The" Antisniper "system is capable of detecting optoelectronic and optical devices used by snipers both at night and during the day at a distance of about 2,5 kilometers. Moreover, in three ranges. In case of detecting a shooter, the system blinds and illuminates him to give the possibility of its elimination, ... "
        I do not say, but it seems that all anti-tank devices are guided through the optics, which means that they should be visible on the anti-sniper.
        Combine this equipment with automatic aiming of a machine gun at this place, and the commander has a screen (where the machine gun aimed) and a "fire" confirmation button.

            And to fire at air targets with an open ZPU from T-72 ... It's generally a circus on a donut.
            It is high time to abandon the word "anti-aircraft", there is no need for this pampering with words. To expose the industry a normal TTZ on a unified DUM of various types of machine gun weapons for work by area and make it.

            By the way, on Armata it seems so and done, there is a DUM with PCT.

                - The second turret? And who will manage it? Commander?
                Heh, there are only three guys who drive and control the fighting vehicle on the subconscious interpersonal relationship of the Brotherhood of the crew.
                Well there is no more space in the T-72 ...
                The crew of the tank is the main force of this whole community called Armor.

                The crew of the T-72 will not be able to cope with additional weapons.
                1. The mechanic has his own task - to drive as the commander ordered.
                2. The gunner has his own task - to dust all the targets that the commander indicated.
                3. The tank commander has a headache in his ears from both sides, as:
                - you need to take orders from a superior commander,
                - you need to command the Tank (crew) in pursuance of the Order.
                P-173 ???
                And they want to call this the Harmony of combined arms combat.
                Not...
                You give the commander all the details ... ugh, damn it, the whole atmosphere of the current battle. And this is PANORAMNIK and tactical tabletassociated with a superior commander.
                And then the simplest tank commander would simply tear apart ALL the goals that he had been set.
                ...
                And the battle in the city, yes ... and any other battle in any theater is impossible to defeat some kind of prodigy.
                The battle is won only:
                - Fighters with a capital letter,
                - The necessary equipment with spaced calibers of weapons and,
                - TACTICS action.

    The point is not at all in the "fifth wheel", but for the solution of what tasks is this "additional equipment" required? And how can this help both in protecting the tank "from the rear" and in urban conditions against grenade launchers, and for repelling counterattacks from the flanks of ISIS mobile squadrons? The author writes: "Based on the Syrian experience ...." Meanwhile, neither the combat experience of the two (!) Chechen, Tajik and now Syrian campaigns in any way by our generals DOES NOT CONSIDERATE ???? As in the exercises, they went on the attack with a saber on the head on the forehead along the entire front - "tanks are coming - hello to the Boy - Bad, helicopters and airplanes are flying - hello to the Bad Boy, the infantrymen are running - salute to the Bad Boy!"

      One more time:

      - to put additional cannons-machine guns "a la Modern" makes no special sense (horizontal guidance is carried out by turning the turret, that is, the cannon and the coaxial machine gun are looking "in the same direction")
      - Additional submachine guns must be equipped with an autonomous stabilizer, otherwise the sense of them .. a little more than zero. Very little more
      - the T-90 already has an NSVT controlled "from within" by the tank commander
      - the T-72 also has NSVT, controlled, however, from the outside
      - it has already been decided on Armata (there is a special turret, I hope it can rotate independently from the tower)
      - to fence something "a la Armata" on the T-72 or T-90 ... I honestly don't even know .. there we need a new tower to do it, IMHO. Because there is simply nowhere to put an "additional turret for an additional gun" on the one that exists ...

    Who will shoot from 30mm? Tank commander? He has so many things to do. If he really wants to shoot, there’s NSWT. Who will shoot 30mm? An additional cannon, with a rotary stabilized platform and ammunition, will eat a lot of weight, which could be used for booking, active or dynamic protection. It only seems that armor, a bunch of guns and machine guns can easily be hung on the tank. Unfortunately, it is not. You can hang it rather, but the mobility of the tank will drop, and the chassis and transmission will begin to die much faster.

It is really better not to remember about us, because tank armada did not help us absolutely anywhere. Tens of thousands of tanks did not save Saddam, Gaddafi, or even Yugoslavia. And in the same Syria, they burn hundreds and even if they helped Assad to expand the controlled territory.

        The generals, as always, are preparing for the last war.

            Comrade, you are confusing armored personnel carriers, which just have to bring infantry to the place of dismounting with infantry fighting vehicles, which just cover the infantry, and are the main means of defeating the squad, moreover, BMPs, unlike armored personnel carriers, are designed to be able to fight without any dismounting.

      tanks are not static weapons to change the outcome of wars.
      However, the tank is a cannon and a couple of machine guns, for 3-4 people, this is a very high concentration of weapons on the 1st soldier. That is why the tank will be used for a very long time by all major countries. The USA may not produce new ones (they riveted a lot of them at one time), but they are very actively modernizing them.
      Tanks show themselves poorly, only in cases where either the enemy is obviously weaker or they are used for other purposes. A tank is all the same artillery, but with better mobility and the ability to independently detect targets. When a tank is sent alone somewhere it is not known where, where is the enemy, of course it will be destroyed. But how should it be?
      The enemy’s position is detected. Aviation and artillery fire on it. The infantry is mopping up, and the tanks cover it in case it suddenly turned out that there artillery and aviation did not suppress some kind of firing point.
      And "tanking damage" from ATGMs, artillery, grenade launchers is a tank's task only in computer games. It is clear that we always act according to the situation, and not as it should be, but according to all tactical instructions, a tank should appear on the battlefield when the enemy no longer has anti-tank weapons or their number and the ability to use is minimal. But the tank, due to its powerful thermal imager, is an ideal sniper, anti-sniper element.

    An additional cannon on the tower is a crazy idea. Where to put the BC, the gun itself is not a fluff, the recoil is stronger than the NSVT or Korda, and now it is necessary to put and book stabilizers on this. A set of shells for it on the BTR-82A weighs more than a quarter ton. You can’t put it in the tower, there’s so little space. It remains to hang over the tower and protect at least from another 2A42 40-50 mm armor plate. You won’t make an elevation angle like a machine gun, otherwise it will stick out a meter from the tower, and for the T-14 it will already be under 4 - not all tunnels will enter. As a result, 1-1,5 tons of additional load on the chassis. IMHO, it is better to install a paired module from 12,7 and AGS.

        125mm shots are much larger than 100mm unitars, so this placement won't work. But you can't shoot the upper floors, as well as on the slope of the gorge, so you will have to use the good old anti-aircraft machine gun. You can still install an autocannon to the 152mm cannon - the BC is modest there, after all. The 30/100 module itself for the BMP-3 is complex, it was not in vain that they decided to install the S-60.

    Before guessing whether to put a gun or not. First, you need to analyze the fighting, find out what goals, distances, battle conditions, etc. To do this, you need to interview the direct participants themselves. It may turn out that weapons will have to be created from scratch or something combined. I believe that they want to put a gun to strengthen the tank in a city battle. Perhaps the AGS 30 mm semiautomatic device with better ballistics on a turret is suitable here.

    Armies are different. Let's compare the experience of war in Iraq and in Syria. In one case, aircraft in the second infantry fought with BTT. In the future, drones will fight tanks and the fact that there will be many of them. Tunguska, shilka and tori are good, but their goal is strike aviation. Whether we like it or not, we don’t attach to each tank. They are simply not enough. It’s good to put a second tower or module with a small-caliber cannon, but there are disadvantages where to put a new crew member, where to put ammunition, how to book an additional module without increasing the weight and height of the equipment. The installation of small-sized missiles will make it possible to solve one problem with one minus. Allow the tank to survive after an air strike. But it has to be automated once, with a chargeability system of two. Let there be no missile guidance complex on the tank and it will be integrated and controllable from the same tunguska or air defense command post at the level of a tank platoon or company. Let one tank be equipped with a radar drone, and the other air missiles land. In general, this will increase the number of carriers of air defense missiles on the battlefield several times. The same thing about the second enemy of the infantry tanks. In a modern and equipped army with tanks, BMPT, BMOPS, BMP and infantry will go into battle. In our realities, the tank will fight alone with the infantry. In this connection, I propose that when equipping a BTT complex, the arena will worry that the second ammunition covers the firing point of the grenade launcher. Moreover, the commander should not come off for a secondary target, and the gunner should turn the tower. The enemy must be covered by a small-sized vertical launch missile. Which should be interchangeable with air defense missiles.

      It is strange that a specialist who talks about such things does not remember that about 1 kg of weight of this very "homing" rocket accounts for 300 kg of all kinds of equipment (radar, receiver of a friend or foe, computer, power supply (so 50-70). and the place all this takes is very robust. And in terms of optics, directing the air defense system is almost hopeless. MANPADS is a separate song, besides, the time for bringing into a firing position for arrow-2 was in the region of 2-3 minutes, for the needle and the needle, s this is probably better. And the vertical launch of MANPADS somehow is not observed. :-)

    The tank needs a high-quality KAZ that automatically intercepts ATGMs and RPGs from any angle. And with all other goals, the tank itself will deal with the 125-mm gun, not the 30-mm bullet.

    The idea itself is certainly very attractive, 25-30 mm. by buildings. That's just such a gun should be independent of the main gun (otherwise there is not much sense), he needs an additional crew member, well, and ammunition.

    It all depends on the means of attack of the potential enemy and the software of the gun. If it can shoot down ATGMs and aircraft missiles, then this gun is needed. If the newest anti-tank systems are too tough for her, then there is no need to carry excess weight. In short, it is necessary not to talk about an abstract "increase in firepower", but it is stupid to find out if there are specific vulnerable targets for this weapon.

    I believe that overloading the structure of the tank with an additional artillery system with dubious effectiveness, and the crew of the tank with additional responsibilities is not worth it. I propose to consider here the concept of a tactical shock pool (according to the state, something like a platoon). So, all the combat units of the pool are based on one base (BMP - 3, Kurganets, T - 72, Armata, Boomerang). The pool includes: SPG (tank) with 125 - 152 mm artillery system + 12,7 mm machine gun (main artillery and anti-tank weapon of the pool); BMP (combat vehicle support) with tactical radar AFAR, GLONASS equipment, armed with a 57 - 76 mm automatic cannon + 7,62 (12,7) mm machine gun and 2 double guides along the sides of the module for ATGM and MANPADS (artillery means of a pool for firing not direct fire, auxiliary vehicle and forward air defense cell of higher units); BRM (combat reconnaissance vehicles) equipped with the "Fara" radar, thermal imager, automatic mine detector, automatic RHBZ devices and UAVs, armed with a 12,7 mm machine gun; 1 - 2 armored personnel carriers (armored personnel carrier) carrying an infantry squad, armed with a 12,7 mm machine gun. This unit is capable of independently solving a wide range of tasks.

    There are no wars "at all". To effectively wage a war of a certain type, you need a very specific weapon. There will be no nuclear missile war. Before engaging in hostilities with an exotic enemy in an unconventional theater of operations, it is necessary to determine the nature of hostilities and form an OTT for weapons. The design of an effective tank is determined by the nature of the fighting. I think we need a platform that can be used to attach weapons of destruction and active protection. This is called "open architecture".
