europe joint broadcast with the atp channel programs radio svoboda, time-time voice of america programs, inclusion of journalists from public television, bbc news ukraine and france 24 news releases, as well as the broadcast of the informational marathon, the only news, together we are strong glory to ukraine i welcome you on the espresso channel in almost six months of hostilities in ukraine, the russian army lost more than 4,000 units of armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. this is an extraordinary amount, and what can our army continue to ensure such dynamics of destroying the mobile component of the enemy's forces, or has the aggressor already drawn conclusions and actions it is already somehow different on the battlefield, so understanding the characteristics of the enemy's tactics, the capabilities of his equipment and weapons is extremely important for updating our approaches, how to further destroy the enemy, understanding where in

he is vulnerable in this, and the following conversation is dedicated to him. my name is serhii zgorytsa, director of the information and consulting company defense express, and my interlocutors today are mykola salamakha, a retired lieutenant colonel, a specialist in the field of armored personnel carriers, a person who has unparalleled authority in the expert and military environment, mr. mykola, congratulations good evening to you and also vyacheslav kisses military analyst and now a serviceman of the special operations forces of the armed forces of ukraine vyacheslav greets you well mr. mykola 6 months wars with the enemy are already over, did this period show anything new in the use of bmps and armored personnel carriers on the battlefield, what was and is the typical tactic of using this armored vehicle by the enemy, so 6 months of war

have shown several things, the first thing about the tactics of use is that at all times the combat vehicle is a copy of it is used usually to support the infantry offensive or to cement the enemy's defense against the enemy, i.e. as a means of fire that helps the infantry hold a position from the water, a strong point, a popular strong point, or a battalion area of defense, those times when infantry fighting vehicles were planned to be used as an armored kullak when overcoming the territory on which strikes were carried out with the help of nuclear weapons have faded

into oblivion. why? because even the use of tactical nuclear weapons ? obtaining those results that the command sets before itself, but at the same time, er, such a thing called tank support combat vehicles, which russia used for the first time on the territory of ukraine under during the last two months, they showed that the future of armored combat vehicles of this class of protection, that is, the enemy was faced with the fact that the protection of armored personnel carriers btr-80 btr-80 and btr-82a combat vehicles are still for infantry fighting vehicles first second and even combat vehicles the third infantry vehicle, and even

more so the landing combat vehicle 4 and the bmw 4m, they are not sufficiently protected in order to use them to break through the defenses of the enemy who uses modern anti-tank weapons, this is, frankly speaking, a certain dark thing that we have seen in the last six months vyacheslav, according to the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, as of august 17, 2022, the enemy lost 4,162 per vehicle of all e-e types of vehicles in the category of bmps and apcs. your practice and experience, you see, can be divided into the beginning of the war and the modern one. the

fact is that at the beginning of the war, the russians used combat vehicles to transport infantry for their parking lots . you understand, the anti-tank towel was fired, and now that the war has taken on a more positional character and the very large losses suffered by the russians as a whole and against the equipment, they forced them to reconsider their approaches, and now those machines are used both in a certain way and for experiments designed, let's say yes, the firing points are working, but use them as supply vehicles. that is, where you cannot use a ural or a kamaz to deliver ammunition, food, and then fight the guards, the pmp will be used for this that is, it belongs to my own experience to plan the villagers

came in one of the recommended formations to deliver ammunition there and take out the wounded, then the russians formed a security guard for the tesantsak and one bmw, but it was precisely she who was supposed to deliver the ammunition and take out the broken record of this armored car, they are used not only the classic pmp and armored personnel carriers but more armored vehicles are not like combat vehicles, they are like mobile firing points, and if we talk about bmw mp3 and find 3 4 4m, then these cars are also used independently artillery, that is, fire from closed firing positions, and this is also from my own vocabulary, the experience when, on our positions, precisely in mp3 and bmt-4, they introduced fire from general positions, well, that is, i am so-so, write down on the artillery, they do not call the names of the

enterprises, and p. mykola, if it was possible distribute according to the following rating in e-e in c- ways impression of the enemy’s armored vehicles this is what we considered earlier on tanks artillery anti-tank means guided unguided e-e large-caliber machine guns if before the destruction of armored vehicles like this e-e the hierarchy of means of impression is distributed according to your estimates, which means that during marches it is still artillery during direct participation in hostilities, this is anti-tank means, as well as our armored fighting vehicles, those that we have in service, that is, a 30-millimeter cannon, that is completely it is enough to fight with similar systems, including infantry fighting vehicles 3 well, we with landing combat vehicles

, fourth, that is why there is a double assessment depending on where the enemy uses its combat vehicles armored vehicles well, one should not forget about the class of combat armored vehicles. we also include the multi-purpose light armored tractors, the so -called mt-lb and mt-lbv mt-lbsh. well, the enemy also uses them in mass quantities for everyone, and there the armor as it wouldn't be there. the frontal sheet of this is only 8 mm of the side, it's only 6 mm , one more thing, i'm laughing at chickens. although armored personnel carriers are also only 4 mm of tool steel, vyacheslav, and regarding the use of anti-tank means for destruction of this category, about a car in the middle category by weight, guided e-e anti-tank guided missile systems, stugna javelin,

unguided rpgs, what is the optimal strategy, because when we saw that there javelin is used for light infantry fighting vehicles, sometimes the question arose whether this ratio of cost-effectiveness in such duels is too much the assessment is just e-e the use of guided and unguided rpgs is practically really lightly armored equipment. it can be hit by rpgs as well as by anti-tank elements, that is, many times many times and rocket anti-tank grenades disposable as domestic soviet-made western and so on satellite dipper codes of america in the principle of automatic receipt and so on and so on but at the current stage the problem of this is that russian bmps simply do not converge with our approaches there is a certain situation when they come into contact but at least in our sector they are trying

by means i really thanks to the nato e-e supplies we have a colossal number of disposable elements, that is, every peaked unit there airborne 15 assault special purpose aircraft. as we have a large, huge number of means of short-range movement, certificates of transfer of equipment and any contact actions will end on these armored vehicles. distance and remained in that to cross the development of pain, that is, even 2.5 km to our positions. they did not come up. therefore, these letters are writing tools that can destroy electronic equipment in connection with the change so and so

russians, they simply do not fit at this distance, and that is why the defeat of this technique is really used by anti-tank missile systems , and is it a client? yes, you can say that they do not have many signatures and should be used in theory, but in fact, if during our russians you if it were possible to make one of its defense units disappear, then this already significantly demotivates the enemy and they can turn away, so it would be more rational to use older soviet weapons of the patriarchy, for example, those that transferred to us by our western partners, for example, milan, they are capable of destroying any pmp or bmp of the russian army, not to mention apcs or mtbs or e-e wheeled armored vehicles, there are tiger features and so on and so on but in connection with the fact that you

may have a week in a specific place and well, it seems to me that there is no point in not shooting at the bmw. because when you managed to put two bmws, the machines may not go any further because they see that there are anti-tank divans , that is, the situation is real for three weeks. unfortunately, the late comrade of his unit was spotted they slept russian a tank for others, they just saw everything, it was the first batch of tank sighting, they just ran away without er, they built it, yes, therefore, if there is an opportunity to install a front, then it is not worth saving jeremy parts, it must be done, as for other means, it is, for example, artillery, but you can say that soviet anti -aircraft guns hold up quite well to our artillery shelling. my

experience is that i see how the bmp-1 received three close hits of 5-7 m 155 mm shells, that is, it was very close, but then it was free to leave, that is, even if in sufficiently large conditions, i know the armor, it can offend the landing party, which can be a desert , and there it can be hit, but not pass some critically important element of the combat vehicle, and it retains the ability to shoot, the impossibility of moving, therefore, there is artillery, well, let’s say, as it is, we are talking about self-reinforcement, its elements are smart 155 to be armored, if we are talking about high-precision munitions, they escalate the stands , well, they are very close to falling from the armor of the unit, then it is classic artillery. well, let's say so is not effective enough for the impression of an ermine

of morning equipment, even quite lightly armored as p-paraffin pp-2 p mykola, knowing you have a lot of experience in the use of anti-tank means , do you have additional details for precisely the use of these systems in the fight against bmp btr of the enemy, it means modern anti-tank guided missiles have the ability to attack either with a directed hit or to attack from above. so, the use of the same mlav e-e against light armored vehicles is the same mt-lb armored personnel carriers infantry fighting vehicles allow them to be hit , including due to the high-explosive action of the accumulative warhead, that's what those who use m-mlava against light armored vehicles should always

remember and not always attack them from above. can we say that today the saturation of our units with anti-tank means is quite enough to withstand the offensive actions of the enemy and any actions that the enemy can implement there on the battlefield, or is there sufficient saturation precisely with means of anti-tank guided missile defense systems guided, it probably depends on how the command was able to organize the supply of e-e directly anti-tank guided means and how it could organize e-combat training so that the personnel of the units could learn e-e quality use of e-e equipment why because quite often we had cases when operators who used certain anti-tank control

devices could not hit the target with the first shot, but you just need to conduct regular training, regularly conduct training, and such components such as the use of mines to ensure the crossing of our areas of the front, the use of copters, how sensitive and important are they really for the destruction of enemy equipment, or are they additional, relatively speaking, what are your assessments, vyacheslav, do you know an example from the life of a couple of russians they went to my area, we had them blown up on their minefields, that is, two banks, two bmps blew up on their mines, demotivated them, and they are going to pick them up someday, and i literally returned now, we operated by copter with the help of

cumulative-uzhanku documents from the american mk-191 automatic grenade launcher and the fuel for all that blew up on the video, which the russians could actually open and set fire to one, let’s see how serious it is, if it’s not serious enough, i’ll get to know it tomorrow and prove it, that is, such auxiliary means are copters. they want to look like specially chinese ones toys but meat is essential to the chinese toy destroyed two repeated one completely meaning one let's go down press 52 is you there b3 i usually looked at the video in detail that is a toy for 0 will be $3,000, but a tank for three million dollars, this is the result. yes, you cannot base anti-tank protection on such means, but they are

quite effective relative means. while , unfortunately, the russian ones were blown up both on our variable fields and on the russian ones, that is, in principle , this is the problem of undermining on e-e own mines. it exists because it happens very often without systemic mining units change to become mine wheels are not transferred and well, yesterday on this rake the next russians were to press classes when other equipment blew up on our numbers extremely interesting details now i still wanted to move on to evaluating samples of enemy equipment that are used on the battlefield and, first of all, whether i would like to start with the most massive machine in the ranks of the enemy - this is the bmp-2, because actually all the main units there were equipped with this model
