Armament of the Russian Army

Repair of a Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 tank by Russian mechanics. Russian mechanics inspected a Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 tank made in Germany in 1999. Previously, the tank was used by the 47th separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Army; the tank ran over a mine and was abandoned in the Avdiivka direction, where it stood in a field for a long time due to problems with evacuation. The Leopard 2A6 tank was produced in Germany since 1997; when the tanks arrived in Ukraine, they were equipped with additional grilles to protect against cumulative ammunition. We are publishing an interview with mechanics talking about the Leopard 2A6 tank, they promise to restore the tank within 2 days, but judging by the damage, this will be difficult to do. Most likely the tank is being prepared for the May holidays.

Russian military personnel showed the Akhmat armored car with maximum all-round homemade protection against drones. The creation, of course, resembles the cars from the movie “Mad Max,” but such protection, despite its appearance, really works. Additional screens protect the vehicle from attacks from FPV drones and loitering munitions. Screens can also protect against projectiles thrown from quadcopters. In addition to lattice screens, the armored car was equipped with steel sheets to protect the chassis. Z-STS Akhmat armored vehicles are produced at the Remdizel plant in Naberezhnye Chelny. Russian armored vehicles "Akhmat" are made on a three-axle all-wheel drive chassis "KAMAZ-5350", they are inferior in tactical and technical parameters to armored vehicles "Typhoon", but at the same time they are much cheaper.

Footage of the work of the KP-125 field kitchen of the Russian Army. The KP-125 field kitchen was developed in the 60s and is still used by the Russian army, since the design of the kitchen turned out to be successful and it is used not only in the army. Chefs say that the KP-125 kitchen is more convenient to use than the earlier KP-42 and KP-2-48 kitchens and the newer KP-130 kitchens. The boilers could be quickly removed and washed, and the cabinets held heat better.
The kitchen is designed for preparing food or boiling water and transporting it in the field, which can even be done using a car, since the total weight of the kitchen is 1500 kg. The field kitchen is equipped with three boilers, technical information is on the screen. Capacity of the boilers in liters: for the 1st dish and boiling water 100/110 liters, for the 2nd dish 50/55 liters and the volume of the boiler for boiling water is 100 liters. The boiling time of water in boilers, taking into account the ignition of the nozzles, for liquid fuel is 60 minutes, for solid fuel 90 minutes.
To heat boilers, kerosene, diesel fuel, firewood and coal are used. Liquid fuel consumption is 7-10 liters per hour, solid fuel - about 30 kg/hour, fuel tank capacity is 48 liters. The kitchen is designed to prepare food for 125 people. Details in the video.

Footage of the installation of Tsar-barbecue protection on Russian T-80BVM tanks. These homemade designs are criticized, but tankers are not interested in the beauty of the tank, their goal, to complete a combat mission and remain alive. The T-72, T-80, T-90 tanks, including Western tanks, have a weak spot in the upper part of the engine compartment. Until simple factory protection of tanks from drones is invented, structures called king-barbecues will be increasingly installed on tanks.

The first Russian BMP-3 with the 4S24 dynamic protection kit entered service with the troops. The 4S24 dynamic protection kit was first shown in August 2023. The video shows tests of the Russian 4S24 “Karkas” dynamic protection from the Research Institute of Steel. As a result of the tests, it was possible to confirm the level of protection of the container based on 4C24, which was at least 500 millimeters. The 4S24 dynamic protection set is capable of withstanding hits from a monoblock anti-tank grenade launcher, as well as armor-piercing and armor-piercing incendiary ammunition from the KPVT, ZU-23-2 and 30-mm 2A42 cannon. The area of protection covering the side of the hull of the BMP-3 armored vehicle is 62%, the forehead of the hull is 36%, and the turret of the vehicle is 70%. The new protection managed to increase the guaranteed shelf life by one and a half times. The 4S20 protection unit needed to be replaced once every 10 years, the new 4S24 protection unit can be replaced after 15 years.

Russian mechanics inspected the Ukrainian American-made M88A1 repair and recovery vehicle. The car was hit by an FPV drone, which pierced the battery compartment. The M88 repair and recovery vehicle was created in 1959, the design turned out to be successful and the M88 was upgraded in 1975 to the M88A1 version. It is worth noting that the M88A1 is designed to service M60 tanks and cannot evacuate M1 Abrams tanks. To evacuate M1 Abrams tanks, the M88A2 Hercules version was created in 1997, and in 2018 the M88A3 version was shown, as the weight of Abrams tanks continues to increase. The M88A1 military tow truck is designed for the evacuation of damaged equipment weighing up to 45 tons, with a crane lifting capacity of up to 25 tons. The M88A1's hull is armored and protects its three-man crew from small arms fire, artillery fragments and anti-personnel mines. The M88A1 is armed with a 12.7 mm Browning machine gun or a 40 mm Mark 19 mod.3 grenade launcher. The vehicle is equipped with 66 mm L8A1 smoke grenades. The M88A1 ARV is equipped with a 1350 hp engine and allows a speed of up to 42 km/h, and the vehicle has a cruising range of 480 km. The M88A1 ARV is very popular in the world and is in service with many countries.

You know the usual anti-Russian bashing bias you hear all the time? Well the Tos-1 is the latest YouTube video I just saw yesterday and in it they say "the Tos-1 is basically a T-72 chassis with an artillery launcher (and get how they worded this part) 'duct-taped' on top of it. Imagine that? These anti-Russia jackoffs are real jealous jackboot thugs I tell ya.

Then they went on about the rockets Russians are using on them claiming that they're illegal and considered a war crime since they're thermobaric and that's not supposed to be used in populated areas. What a bunch of horse manure. Makes you sick to your stomach the crappy bias.

Mach 7. I doubt there is any type of infrastructure that could withstand the kinetic impact of an object traveling at that speed. Imagine if they exported these things, or any scramjet weaponry. Probably won't happen for another 20 years.
 
Russian mechanics inspect the Ukrainian M1150 demining vehicle. The video shows a Ukrainian M1150 mine clearance vehicle made in America. The M1150 was hit by a drone in the weak spot of the surveillance camera, the crew lost visibility and drove into a minefield in the Berdychi area. It was difficult to evacuate the M1150 due to its heavy weight, it reaches 75 tons; several vehicles were used for evacuation. Due to its heavy weight, it is better to use the machine on dry ground. The M1150 mine clearing vehicle was developed in 2009 on the basis of the M1A1 Abrams tank and is considered the best in the US Army for work on the front line. The M1150 has good armor with dynamic protection and is designed for making passages in minefields. The M1150 is equipped with a blade mine sweeper that plows the ground, lifting mines to the surface and throwing them aside. The trawl can be dropped without leaving the car; it is mounted on a hydraulic “High Lift Adapter”. Also, instead of a trawl, the “adapter” provides for the installation of a bulldozer bucket, after which the machine can be used as a bulldozer. The machine has signal flags that are stuck into the ground by two pneumatic devices, indicating the demining area. In the rear compartment of the vehicle there are MK22 Mod 4 rockets with charges attached to them, which are 107-meter fabric “sleeves” equipped with a detonation cable and filled with explosives. The projectile is fired from the M58A3 launcher at a length of 100 meters; after detonation, an area up to 8 meters wide is cleared. The M1150 mine clearing vehicle is armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun, has a crew of 2 people, and the estimated cost of the M1150 is about $14 million.

Russian T-90M Proryv tanks were equipped with factory canopies to protect against drones, this has not yet been officially announced. The first T-90M Proryv tanks were spotted at one of the training grounds, where the gunner-operator of one of the combat vehicles told his impressions of the tank. A protective canopy from the drone covers the top of the entire tank turret, and it also has hatches for loading the crew. The protection looks pretty good and is strikingly different from the homemade structures that the crews themselves previously installed on tanks. Interview with the tank gunner-operator at the end of the video.
