As a result of the explosion of a self-propelled howitzer in Kherson region, a crew member disappeared

March 23 2014 306

During the exercise in a certain area of the Kherson region during the change of firing position there was a fire of a self-propelled howitzer 2С19 of one of the military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reports.

“The crew of the self-propelled howitzer tried to extinguish the fire on its own, but the measures taken by the servicemen did not produce results, the detonation of the ammunition occurred,” the department said.

Four crew members were urgently evacuated to a safe place. The search for another crew member continues.

As a result of the fire, three crew members of the combat vehicle received burns to their hands and faces and were taken to one of the district hospitals of the Kherson region, where they were provided with the necessary medical assistance. The state of health of servicemen is satisfactory.

A demining team is working at the scene to organize and carry out activities to search for ammunition scattered by the explosion and the subsequent evacuation of the vehicle.

Appointed official investigation.

Finally! Finally, I understood why Obama’s face seemed so familiar to me, as if I had seen it somewhere a long time ago. Yes, I saw it, in this cartoon in 2001.

  So, there are no crocodiles in Ukraine. I mean real crocodiles, natural ones so to speak.

    There are no real ones, but if you plant Farion in the ditch, then no one will come within 100 meters of it. And on both sides.

I have two questions:
1.Where did the crew member go?
2. And will they find him at all?
Still, there was an explosion...

this is even tougher than the 90s in the Russian army

I can’t even compare. I myself served in the 90s, in the Arctic, so our equipment was in order: yes, not new, but it was maintained in an exemplary manner, and, as a result, not a single emergency in the exercises, and first places in the district. And if some units were taken out of storage, then the engineering and technical company was driven into the park in full force, and the guys worked conscientiously - not a single complaint at the reception. So that. And here it’s either a mess, or sabotage, or all at once.

“The crew of the self-propelled howitzer tried to put out the fire on their own, but the measures taken by the military personnel did not produce results, and the ammunition detonated.”

If a 2S19 with ammunition is on fire, you should not put it out, but run 300 meters, hide behind the parapet and not show off the light. Tested on 2S3.

Good afternoon Over the course of several days, 5 tanks burned out in Krivoy Rog, a Su-24 crashed in the Khmelnitsky region, and now a self-propelled gun explosion in Kherson—and there are more casualties than during the entire time of the confrontation in Crimea.

Do you seriously believe that the P-123 could burn the tank. Even if the fuses are replaced by jumpers, with a short circuit in the power supply, the power connector or internal wire in the power supply will burn out and that's it. The station itself is like an aluminum ingot with light bulbs. There is nothing to burn.
I worked as a radio mechanic, a couple of years, in the military unit, in the team for their repair.

I completely agree. To burn a tank you have to try hard. Let me add that all the wiring is shielded and also partially prevents the spread of fire. I could understand if there was a tank of a combat training group, usually from “good” care there is a layer of fuel and lubricants (oil, water, fuel) on the bottom. Mine was in 1996. So the tank was on fire. True, they extinguished it with two caps of water from a nearby puddle. No damage whatsoever.
Then they probably saw the fire and rushed off, forgetting about the PPO.

Two charges of TNT and the soil will fall into place from where it was taken out. Every day, all the wonders and wonders.

In the photo it generally looks like an ordinary trench for pipes - most likely they stupidly sawed away the money (they dug a couple of kilometers of an ordinary narrow ditch with an excavator, and reported - according to the estimate - as a ditch all the way to Moscow).
PS
I feel sorry for the guys trying to revive ferrous metal from the funds of the USSR...
Even the routine joke has already started. Losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: T-64BV - 6 pieces, MCTA-S - 1 piece, Su-24M - 1 piece, BTR-3 (aka BTR-80) - 2 pieces, Ukrainian Navy - 96%. And we haven’t even shot it yet.

Yeah. Laugh and laugh, but it’s good that they didn’t fight with us. So all these losses would be attributed to the Russians. And now, using the method of testing and explosions, they will select working equipment and at least understand what kind of army they really have. And so far only the technology allows you to light a cigarette. And given the state of their ammunition, a sea of wonderful and most unpleasant discoveries awaits them. By the way, the Banderlogians intend to arrest our sweetheart. Bastards...

when the unit commander tells the commander what to do, how to get those pitiful remnants of people out of the Crimea, and in response you endure as the regulations say, then the only way out is to flee from such an army.

Comrade Zhyukov in such cases swapped them.

“The search for another crew member continues” - “He flew away... But he promised to return...” replica F. Bokk, “Malysh and Karslon.”
I wonder if it was lost during the evacuation “to a safe place”? What kind of place is this where the crews of self-exploding howitzers are evacuated?
It's all sad. Another victim of independent idiocy.

  Apparently these are three for Iraq (probably those that were not delivered to the ship in Iraq and remained at the factory), and the rest are from the Indonesian contract (judging by the color). If they appropriate the armored personnel carriers and screw up the Indonesian contract, then the plant will be completely screwed.
  By the way, what’s wrong with the side of one armored personnel carrier that’s standing in the middle? It seems that they just welded a piece of metal for filming with extras.

*****, not the army.

The army may be normal, but if you give the best shooter a gun that has been lying on the street for 23 years in the rain and offer to shoot from it, then at best it will refuse, at worst it will happen the same as with a howitzer ...
So far, Ukraine's military equipment causes more damage to Ukraine itself than to the enemy. It's time to come to your senses and return the troops to the garrisons and put the equipment on hold, otherwise only small arms will remain ...

I confirm! So, for example, the ammunition with which the artillery depots near Melitopol were replenished (at the expense of the ammunition of the troops withdrawing from Hungary, 1991), according to those who unloaded them then, was lying in a heap in the open air, and cows walked and grazed between the boxes - the grass was juicier. Now it’s 2014 and it’s unlikely that anything has changed during this time.
