Hike to 61 armored repair plant

61 armored repair plant, in St. Petersburg, is interesting for its rich collection. We offer to make a "tour" in the enterprise, having familiarized with this photo selection.

2. 61-th Armored repair plant always served combat vehicles. In general, T-72 and T-80 were repaired. Since recent times, the plant was removed from the management of the Ministry of Defense, and is now a civil organization.

3. Behind the gates: T-80 - the main battle tank of the Armed Forces of the USSR. Weight 42.5 tons, the main armament - gun 125mm 2А46 with a rate of fire 6 – 8 shots per minute.

4. Overhauls of these tanks 61 BTRZ began in 1992

5. Wheelbarrow in the background gives peaceableness to militaristic monument

6.

7. We had to trample on Europe with these tracks.

8. Workshops in a factory near 20. The most interesting of them is the dismantling and assembly section with pylons for reconciliation of gun turrets.

9. Here the tanks are disassembled into components, the broken parts are replaced with new ones, and the old ones are delivered to the markets of friendly countries.

10. Assembly and disassembly site. Striking cleanliness in the shop

25. The purpose of the pole with a ruler is unknown

44. Fire tank is very similar to the character of the cartoon Wall-E

45. The installation “Purga” is intended for the production of air-mechanical foam, used to extinguish fires of flammable and combustible liquids, solid combustible materials, as well as to create light-heat shields in areas of accidents, catastrophes, natural disasters, for degassing and deactivating, masking civil and military objects destination.

The smoking-room is alive, and I thought this plant was already kirdyk, pleased with the clean workshops and approaches. It’s clear that though there is not much money like Tagil’s, but they’re doing great work.

Very interesting article! Pleased with our capabilities VPK.

Seven years have passed ... From 2012 we find ourselves in the "future" (TV channel Zvezda
Posted Apr 7 2019) 61 BTRZ and T-80 tank

[Ascetic]

I especially liked the fire tank. I wonder if there are analogues in the world?

[755962]

An entertaining report, to be honest, the cleanliness struck!

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Yes, remember the photo of the Kharkov plant of mud and ruins.

[dred]

Almost all of our plants are dirty and old.

[TRex]

Cleanliness amazes ... The absence of the proletarians, too. And how many cars were repaired, then?

DEAR COMRADES, HOW CAN A GENERAL DEFENSE FACTORY BE * OJSC *

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

Easily, capitalism.

[petor41]

For reference! Back in 2009, OJSC "Oboronservice" was created, which currently includes 11 more OJSC, incl. OJSC "Spetsremont" which, in turn, includes all repair plants, which also became OJSC (OJSC "61 BTRZ", OJSC "15 CARZ", etc.). All shares are owned by the Ministry of Defense! By and large, to date, nothing has changed, before there were FSUEs now OJSC, only all the military were dispersed! If things are even less on the BTRZ, then on many CARZs there is now a terrible situation, many are under the threat of bankruptcy! The Ministry of Defense is pursuing a very strange policy, on the one hand, they provide interest-free long-term loans to factories, on the other hand, they conclude contracts for the repair of KAMAZ and URALs with manufacturers, thereby depriving the CARZ of work! All this is called the liberation of the Armed Forces from functions unusual for them. The idea may be good, but the implementation is terrible! http://www.oboronservice.ru/

The Hungarians, in my opinion, "slammed" the USSR's developments, in the 90s produced several machines based on the T-34. Having installed on them turbojet engines from MiGs. He could extinguish with just exhaust, or he could with foam. By the way, this group of amers was attracted to extinguish wells in Iraq.

[Ascetic]

Thank. But this is a rework, but does anyone really have their own? I would like to compare something in the internet I did not find right away

[mga04]

Kharkov tank repair plant makes GPM-64, based on the T-64. A highly specialized product for extinguishing fires in art warehouses, although with the addition of attachments, the scope can be expanded. Request in the search engine GPM-64 - enough information

[mega_jeka]

In photos 40 and 41, the nifig is not T-80, but most likely T-72. Already MTO is very similar to 72

[Drcoks]

There is an assumption that a log with a ruler is piled into the trunk =)) On this, my deduction died =)
Yes, cleanliness pleases, I hope it works

[mega_jeka]

16 photos, tank body and not BMD ..... the author is a bit dumb along the way

[Mr. tank]

It corrected him for a long time, and also - mows

[Denis]

about this plant I only heard that the condition is the same as in Krasnoye Selo, it’s 25 kilometers from this in Strelna, and there it was loaded with plastic film
however, there, in the plundered shops, they did everything from sausages to condoms, but did not see tanks, only roads for them were laid out with paving stones
no regimen, gastric workers, tears ...
this is in xnumx year

[NickitaDembelnulsa]

Some of our plants are still alive, and well, they work for the good of the country.

[Lelik]

It’s a pity that the photo does not convey the smell, otherwise you would immediately smell, as if by accident, freshly painted floors ... Is it really clean ??? Window dressing. Here in our workshops, floors are washed with soap every day ...

[zweroboy]

There was a plant, but the whole thing went out, almost dismantling - as if for scrap, people are changed twice a year, almost without exception, and the assembly one, which is in the picture, is empty, since the authorities decided that it was expensive to buy spare parts, they would go on old ones, we will screw them there , here we will cook, the military representatives are paid by the plant, and when he gets out, the performer is already fired, and is resting somewhere in Turkmenistan ...
