Russian fencing machines in Syria

In Syria, Russian engineering fencing machines (IMR-2M) again hit the lens. Previously, they have proven themselves in Afghanistan, Chernobyl, in the North Caucasus and Donbas, writes Messenger of Mordovia.

Russian fencing machines in Syria


“Analyzing the use of military equipment in the Syrian conflict zone, military experts have repeatedly noted that the Syrian army is experiencing an acute shortage of engineering vehicles. Therefore, so often in combat formations it was possible to see ordinary civilian bulldozers, excavators and loaders, which were sometimes hung with armor, ”writes the author of the article, Lev Romanov.

In this regard, the appearance in Syria of powerful and well-protected machines can only be regarded as a positive phenomenon.



The author recalls that for the first time IMR-2M were observed in March of this year near Aleppo.

The machine is based on the T-72 and has a counter-booking.



“It is intended for making passages in the zone of destruction, laying roads over rough terrain, as well as for crossing over ditches, embankments, etc. For this, there is special equipment in the form of a powerful bulldozer blade and a telescopic boom with an 2 ton-gripping manipulator. Powerful 840-powerful multi-fuel diesel allows it to reach speeds of up to 60 km / h. Armament - one 7,62-mm PKT machine gun. The crew - 2 people. "- said in a publication.

      And "in Donbass", drainers ay! We also have other equipment obtained from Russia. Not to mention small arms and uniforms. hi

        Rather, they would have liquidated the Kiev metastasis, if there are already tools. The head doctor has not yet decided on the treatment method.

          The "abscess" must mature, otherwise the treatment against the "doctors" will turn around. Yes

          Fine. I remember this story in Slavyansk. The first mechanized attack on the Ukrainian army checkpoint in Slavyansk (but also the first in the entire conflict). And the number was just such an onboard?

            Interest on 50 he. The militia had three PMIs - one first 514 and two second 331 and 333. 514 and 331 - were captured by dill in Kramatorsk. But the second was on the move, and the first was not, most likely she suffered when she left. Her number. 333, left on its own, but was later captured, and even later recaptured.

          The "Petrovich" car had B / N 331, he had a "two", you had a "penny".
          In addition, the machine had a bulldozer equipment primed, but not painted.
          There were 4 IMRs (NKMZovskikh) (3 "deuces" and 1 "kopeck")

              Here is his car in Slavyansk, as they said, after the attack on the BP at the stele (in which the car received about 5 RPG hits, as they said) the car with the mortally wounded "Petrovich" (this is his real patronymic) went to Slavyansk (settlement Chervony Molochar - Red Milkman), she never returned to Kramatorsk.
              Here is a photo dated 07.07.2014/XNUMX/XNUMX in Slavyansk (this is on the highway of the village of Cherevkovka, at the crossroads right Kramatorsk, to the right into the city)

    the Syrian army is experiencing an acute shortage of engineering vehicles

    And is there something that the Syrian army has in abundance?
    They have a shortage of everything, they need everything and as much as possible.

    The load capacity of the manipulator is somehow small. On such a heavy platform it would be possible to place something more serious.

      The actual capacity is due to the intended use of the machine.
      ... With its help it is possible to disassemble the rubble in settlements, emergency buildings and structures. The machine carries out excerpts of trenches, pits, filled up equipment and shelters, backfilled pits, ditches, ravines, preparation of ditches, eskarpov, dams, transitions through anti-tank ditches and eskarpy. IMR-2M2 allows you to install sections of bridges, arrange exits and departures at water crossings. It is advisable to use it for work on soils of categories I-IV, in quarries and open pits, for fighting forest and peat fires, performing lifting operations, evacuating and towing damaged equipment ...
      Speed ​​when working with bulldozer equipment, km/h 8-12
      Passage laying rate, km/h: 0.34-0.35
      The rate of laying column tracks, km / h 5-10
      Maximum pulling force, kN 275
      Excavation with bulldozer equipment (filling ditches, arrangement of ramps), m/h 230-300
      Excavation of trenches with a depth of 1,1 -1,3 m using URO on soils of categories I-IV, m/h 8-10

        Vooot, right, raking the rubble. But they can be different and for me the duck operator should not delve into the mass of debris, but quickly remove them.

          YES, a cool device, when they were unloaded in Termez and drove to town 20, the frontier YMPA, when turning, so skillfully chopped down the support with wires so that the wires did not even break off but only swayed. But the gates of the town were defeated and lay a week away from the driveway. there is nothing comparable.

    For use in Syria, you need at least a machine gun - the armor is certainly good, but the war is not over yet, and "unpleasant meetings" are not excluded.

    A bit off topic.
    To the incident with our drone flying into Israel:

    As they write, after unsuccessful attempts to shoot down the UAV with the help of two Patriot air defense missile systems, an air-to-air missile was launched at it from a fighter, but also to no avail. And then he already returned to the Syrian space, as he delved into the space controlled by Israel at a distance of only 4 km.


    Infa from the blogger imp_navigator http://imp-navigator.livejournal.com/.

    laughing What a nimble drone! Or maybe he was testing some new electronic warfare system? "Khibiny" is unlikely to stick into it.

    IMRs are expensive to operate. In our part of them they were kicked out of the boxes only to serve. Here is the BAT-M workhorse. What only they did not. However, BTM was often used.
