a significant amount are actually quite effective in future practice, unfortunately, a lot of equipment both on our side and on the russian side were blown up both on our minefields and on the russian one, that is , in principle. often without system mining , units change, the facts of mine wheels are passed on, and yesterday, on these rakes, the next russians were to press plastic, otherwise the equipment was blown up on our numbers, extremely interesting details, now i still wanted to go to evaluation of samples of enemy equipment used on the battlefield, and first of all, 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 sample of bro, which, by the way, is the largest there the amount of

destroyed equipment just falls on the bmp-2 p. mykola , what is your evaluation of this machine, are there any new things that the russians did with this model of equipment, or is it actually a standard model and nothing special should be singled out, it means that the russians understand them very well the shortcomings that are in bmp-2 ot this is the first weak protection for the current period of development of armored vehicles and the second - it guides the sight of the main one that is in the bmp-2, and there are only 6 times during the day and 5 times at night, because for a 30 mm caliber gun, this is not enough because aiming fire with a 30 mm caliber gun in armor-piercing e-e projectiles can be introduced using a

similar technique at a range of up to 2 km, and since high-explosive projectiles can, in principle, be introduced at a range of up to 3 km, but the e-e sight does not allow to implement all the capabilities of the gun that's why the russians went a part of modernism to modernize the bmp-1 by installing a paste from the btr-82a armored personnel carrier there. so, the so-called modernized bmp-1 and bmp-2 were already seen, so it is equal to the busurmans. so, no more than a hundred units of them were modernized but they managed to

light up and in the mountains suffered losses even among these machines, the sight is there, the best one is there, but again, fortunately for us, there are not two guns there. 42 and the gun is 2.72, and the gun itself is 2.72 in terms of its accuracy and in terms of its accuracy is inferior to the two a42 guns, that is it was possible to compensate for the shortcomings of the sight, at the same time , it was not a very smart decision, it led to the fact that the gun lost, rather, the armament, that is, it lost the ability that it had with the previous version of vyacheslav, was there any experience of a collision with russian bmp bmp 1 or some nuances there in the design, in the additional protections that the body is trying to implement in these most massive machines on the battlefield, let’s say direct contact combat

with the use of light anti-tank weapons, it didn’t come to this because now it’s the russians, well let’s say so they don't come close to the reference distance, although there was a situation when, well, russian paratroopers stood against us, what exactly was the situation that the introduction of anti-tank means was less than theirs by about 0.1, but they did not dare to engage in contact actions, although we, to the deputies, they chose positions in a populated area and believed that this would be a chance for a hare. and as for the modern application, that is, as we say, infantry transport that is unloaded at a considerable distance, then the russians simply do not use their weapons here close division, i.e. in fact, this is an armored vehicle and if we talk about our russian defense unit bmp-1 and bmp-2, well, in principle

, they have a good reservation down there vyacheslav communication is a little bit disappointing in us there then p- p- p- peremakolo if we will now move further along the line of enemy equipment, we will first of all move on to the most powerful model in the arsenal of the russian army - this is the bmp3. they were there, which i understand. 600 machines were made, about 80 machines, we captured, if i am not mistaken, eh, what are your assessments of this sample what is important is in this what are the vulnerabilities of the machine, at the same time, there is also insufficient armor protection in order to use the third infantry fighting vehicle when storming our positions, because if the infantry is going, it is either ahead of the infantry or in the ranks of the

infantry or at a distance of 200-300 well, a maximum of 400 m is the soviet statutes, these are the templates that exist in the russian army, because the statutes have changed, but the main tactical indicators have remained practically the same, or the use of the very serious advantage of the bmp holds 70 mm 2a 70 gun and if the crews are trained and are capable of firing at the maximum range, and the maximum range should be semi-direct and indirect fire up to 7 km, if there is such a possibility, then you can use it. well, it all depends on the terrain on which the battles are fought, and from how the tactical situation is formed and whether it is possible to use all the capabilities of confident combat

equipment, the machine is very serious in terms of firepower why because it has a 30-millimeter automatic cannon and a 100 millimeter gun, even if it is low-pulse , that is, the speed of the projectile is not enough to be used as an anti-tank tool. but there are rockets that are called the arkan anti-tank guided missile, which is also launched through the barrel and at a range of up to 4 5 km, you can also use this missile , and this one is confirmation that the enemy used e-e bmp 1 bmw b3 with amphibious capabilities crossing e-e in water obstacles precisely at the expense of e-e capabilities of the machines themselves. that in view of the fact that there is a

screen added to such a reservation and so on, it seems that this component of amphibiousness is not needed at all today. am i wrong? there were intentions and there were attempts to cross the siverskyi donets, including using e-e amphibiousness and armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles and one and two and three is another thing that uh, our units tried not to give such an opportunity, uh, and the enemy understood that without the rights of heavy equipment , that is, without tank crossings, uh, practically successes in it is impossible to achieve as a result with artillery or other means, and there were pontoon obstacles destroyed by floating mines, or rather crossings, and the equipment that tried to carry out eh due to

its amphibiousness, the equipment burned whether on one bank or on the other bank. well, that is, the enemy did not reached in the spur although the amphibious capabilities were used vyacheslav what are your evaluations of bmp3 and how to explain the riddle that literally a couple of days ago there the leadership of the ministry of defense of russia set the task kurgan in this er kurgan march the plant's task is to switch from bmp 3 to the production of bmp-2, so what explains such a collision with the wings, i.e., the good capabilities of bmp-3? well, we really have to agree with mr. mykola that the bmp is weakly armored, that is, the strength, let's say, this is the rotary way of bmp development, that is, if we take the build -up reservation in order to provide the infantrymen with a sufficiently high level of protection, that is why the russians

made the same weapons. and indeed in his case bmp-3 and periods 4 protection, he was sacrificed er, the service of armaments is really incomplete, but i am in in modern cases, those combat vehicles are used as self-propelled artillery, this is when the infantry that was fired upon, they said that the change, that is, you started cheating and found a 100 millimeter gun . 4 because we then found them with the help of the budget, that is, as a kind of universal combined car with powerful weapons

that can do everything. not bad, but you don’t need to take that bmw 3 is a very big lady, and if we are talking about installing it yourself, then it is better to spend this money without us it sounds like an infantry fighting vehicle, let's say so, only has advantages over bmw because the protection and that in mp3 or in bmw it is not enough, therefore, the price is certain, the transition to a cheaper mass vehicle, open the infantry and transportation, that is, bmw is a contemporary condition when it is a modern public u the composition of others personally ends, it is possible and there is rationally on them because really the site and what a big lost the planet as a bmw mp3 data pmt-4 and one more moment both of these combat vehicles in them because i slept aluminum and when it is

this polyana machine is engaged in one on the body is getting better and the file is not yet subject to a relative , that is, if you will already make effects of two ben 10 bmw 4 emergency mp3s, then if it is already, then it will cost so much in the case of bmw installation and one of the factors why the russians, e.e., refuse mp3 in favor the battle is interesting to you, the explanation is quite logical, and as we can see, the enemy understands that it is necessary to look for more such repairable models of equipment in view of the number of stratagems that you do not carry on the battlefield, you have already mentioned about the machines there, these are combat vehicles of the landing party 2 3 4 which is common assessment of this family of vehicles on the battlefield, strengths

and weaknesses in view of their use in combat , well, let's say so, the russian paratroopers did not reach me, that is, we stood opposite them, there were quite a lot of them. there were also bmt-4 and bmw 2, but they did not dare to attack the national er neighboring infantry i think dily mo now own video with these machines we don’t have, but we can say that the peculiarity of these machines is a rather low er amphibious capacity, that is er these machines have a very small number of infantrymen who can please transfer, secondly, this is a rather weak fight. well, if the planning is about bmd-2, then even when we are pc pkm with a fight on incendiary

balls, it can do 127 * 108, and the western one, for example, we have 7x99, these machines are enough for brazil, even from eh rifle fire, that is, if we were talking about the russian approach - it means sacrificing armor, setting the mobility that i will analyze . supported their infantry somewhere in the style from afar , they may be in the same battle

formations with the deportment, these machines suffered losses, and if they are used again to directly support the infantry in the infantry line , they will also continue to always be a problem, very specific combat vehicles that in in modern conditions here you can know such uh, the seventh number talked about landing combat vehicles and here in the square in kyiv there is a burned-out bmbda-4 and it is made of aluminum and our uh expert left i looked and it turns out that the aluminum armor is not homogeneous, it is made of four aluminum plates, it is connected into a single structure, how to explain the solution of the russians before creating the bd-4 hull as the most modern. in their line of dessert machines,

this solution is quite technological. why because if we are we break through the armor. that is, when the bullet is of a particularly small caliber, that is, it is a bullet of the 7.62 12 and 7 14 1/2 calibers, so it penetrates the first armor, so they partially change their direction of movement and when they pass and further they or air or some other material, and then they meet again with the next layer of aluminum armor , here are several such transitions into aluminum, air or aluminum, some kind of filler, after that, aluminum again and again another filler or air , oh, oh, this is a much more powerful, oh, armor foaming

agent than this was a monolithic plate with a thickness of about 20-25 mm of aluminum armor. and yes, these 20-25 mm in aluminum armor are spread over a distance of 65 mm, and this armor strengthens the protective capacity of such armor. but at the same time, the expert said that in in principle, the bmda-4 is vulnerable to both sniper fire and machine gun fire. how many methods of destroying this expensive equipment are there? well, you are used by ukrainian fighters, so let's take into account the fact that there are modern sights on the bmd 4m, on the bmw or on the bmp-3m the devices are sights or sadima or lpd1 where the dimensions of the

sight head are more than 35 cm in height, i.e. 300 or more millimeters and about 250 mm in width. e there are thermal imaging sights. and in the bmd 4m , there is also a panoramic sight for the commander, too. let's reduce the size a little bit, then the use of small arms in order to bring out the heads of sights and panoramic sights of the authorities at distances up to 800 m, this is a sacred work, if you take into account that the calibers of 23 mm and 30 mm penetrate the frontal armor of the bmp, and bmw 4 from a distance of more than 500 m, again

, this should be used. well, it is necessary to take into account the fact that, again, there are on-board air shutters of the air intakes, and there are, so the exhaust system, injection grilles, all these are quite vulnerable places, if you take into account that the gun so is she wants stagnant, but it is enough for the bullet to hit the cannon and at least deform the barrel a little, but this is quite enough for the barrel to break after the shot or, on the contrary , to break off, that is, a fight with small arms against enemy infantry fighting vehicles, so it should be conducted in any case and are there examples of the use of so-called anti-materiel sniper rifles that are equipped with the ukrainian army to fight against light

armored vehicles of the enemy vyacheslav do you have such information about such a component of countermeasures, even ours the command taught and taught the video, and here we remember that in april and may, an anti-materiel rifle was used to shoot down an armored personnel carrier, but let 's say this phenomenon is not massive in size , again, including the fact that now the russians simply do not come close very often to to its own equipment and, however , the position of the placement of anti-materiel specialists although they are generally 12:7 and 14:5 and in the latter case it is a really powerful weapon that is able to prevail, well, let's say so, the majority of russian light protection equipment, but the problem if the enemy simply adds hatred, and in the timeliness of anti-material, they are heavy enough, and if we are already talking about an attack,

that is, there is an infiltration of shelling to the enemy, then the question is what is better to take for this anti-material belt and anti-tank missiles and in the area or gunwales and so on and so on, they can be more effective, it’s interesting, it’s clear, mykola, let’s move on to the btr-82a, because in terms of the number of losses, this machine takes second place in the hierarchy of damaged or destroyed vehicles there according to data for april, 139 btr-82a were destroyed, of which 79 were destroyed and damaged, and 60 btr-82a were shot down and captured

. they increased the power of the engine from 240 to 300 horsepower, but it did not help. why, because the first installation of a 30-mm gun, which was designed to have a front support of the barrel, and the gun was created to fire 100 mm plus 30 mm for the bmp-3 e-e, when firing without such a support, it leads to the fact that the accuracy at a distance of 1 km is already such that, as a rule, the first projectile hits the target, and the second, the third, and all the e-e further go either by flight or with such a deviation that the enemy does not even notice that they are being fired upon, i.e. it is enough to miss with the first projectile and then shoot, that’s one and the same thing,

well, the design of the stabilizer drive itself is very unsuccessful. vertical is carried out not in the axes, but in e gun a is carried out with the help of the so-called screw-ball drive, which is offset from the axis of the gun by more than 300 mm, so it is very difficult to stabilize the shooting, aimed shooting from the east at the speed of the armored personnel carrier of 15-20 km , it is practically impossible, and in order to introduce an aiming the fire must be stopped. well, this

one is posing as an enemy. who are you? so, stop, vyacheslav. what are your assessments of this most massive, seemingly new model in the ranks of the russian army? those btr-82s belong to the am modification. that is, it is precisely the btr-80 that is being modernized. that is, it is not a machine of new production. and it is a modernized patient of the 80s to the level of pdf-2. well, it is almost equal to the meter 82. well, i have seen that in practice . only one - 4.82 crying atm that was driving our way then one of them and then we realized that he ran into his own free helmet plan in system 62 and told about the components that is they are love we named him only by his patronymic which is pulled up known there from very few remained pater, because you will be later

back the polykit, was there anything else there, some cords can be paralleled well, i don’t know , that is, without the holy dopov, but we understand that it is the same during the 80 weak reservation important to the batch of caliber small arms to anti-tank means no to the large columns of automobile shells, for example, check 150 groups is it 155 mmm, to be honest, we only passed half of the samples that i walked, i discussed, we have 3 minutes and a couple left mykola, you have a question about mtlb why is russia starting to transfer units on the contact line, which are equipped exactly with mtl2, what is the advantage of this machine, are there any advantages at all, are these disadvantages, the lack of other models of

equipment . and these mountain units fell over - these are the units of the north, this is the marines of the northern fleet. these are the couple of brigades that were located again in the area of ​​st. take them out of combat use for about one month, no one can afford such a thing now. well, after those that were suffered again, well, it is better to find hundreds of units for rearmament, if there are these hundred units, then to replenish those units that suffered losses vyacheslav your summary a message

about what needs to be done in order to destroy more russian armored vehicles on the battlefield, that for this you need to use all available means of light anti-tank weapons, i.e. grenade launchers and small-caliber sniper rifles weapons to artillery systems of high-precision means, and so on and so on, that is, if we conduct a comprehensive attack, the number of light vehicles in the russian army will decrease significantly. thank you for this extremely interesting conversation, and mr. mykola and mr. vyacheslav. of their extremely interesting moments of hostilities, and i would like to remind our viewers that today's guests on the espresso channel were mykola salamakha, a retired lieutenant colonel and a specialist in the field of armored vehicles, as well as vyacheslava tseluyko, military analyst, now

a serviceman, special operations force of the armed forces of ukraine, serhiy zgurets was with you, stay on the espresso channel, we are looking for eight-year-old kateryna quail, whose fate has been unknown for more than four months. they talked with their daughter as late as april 7. she went to kharkiv with her father, and this april i don’t hear her, they don’t see her. the girl’s mother disappeared. rita petrivna said that she lives in sumy oblast with her husband and daughter and in january of this year, the child and his father went to their relatives in the kharkiv region in the village of permomaiske, this is the shevchenkiv territorial community, the kupyan district of the region, which was occupied in the first days of the

full-scale invasion of russia, this is the kupyan area, the vovchan area, the raisin area, and they are now completely occupied at the moment it is not possible to conduct evacuation reports, it is too dangerous, the enemy does not allow us evacuation routes and directly corridors for the delivery of humanitarian cargo there, it turns out that the eight-year ekaterina perepelitsa and her father became hostages of the situation. they met him in kharkiv oblast and actually got stuck there, but now he is in contact with his family. he says that somewhere there a bridge was blown up on the seventh of april. i heard the child's voice asking to go home on april 7, that's when rita petrivna last heard her daughter, with whom she spoke on the phone and

could not help, and then after april 7, the connection with kateryna suddenly disappeared. just imagine what it is like for a mother for more than four months, not knowing what happened to your child, where she is now or everything with her. okay is my daughter sitting somewhere in the basement under fire or is she elementary safe? answers to these questions would be very helpful, so i am asking especially the residents of the shevchenkiv territorial community of kharkiv oblast who may be seeing me now. look carefully at the photo. eight-year-old kateryna quail looks plus or minus for her age. blond hair and dark eyes, a girl. she can wear glasses. she was last contacted from the village of pervomaiske. she lived at 20 gagarina street. if anyone can visit this address and check is everything with her and her father ok or has anyone seen them call us at the child tracing service at the short number 116
