Fighting for the robot: The expert noticed an interesting detail in the destroyed Russian BMP-2 (photo)
The combat vehicle is reinforced with polymer armor panels, which can withstand a machine gun shot 12. 7 mm. This BMP-2 was last liquidated three weeks ago, in November, in the area of Vodyany, Donetsk region. He stressed that there are more than 17 such machines in total. At least three units are taken as trophies. In the area of Avdiivka, Ukrainian defenders could eliminate eight BMP.
The analyst pointed out that the occupiers at the end of 2021 or early 2022 began to increase the reservation of the BMP-2 to the level of 675-SB3-CDZ. Such protection is not a panacea, but in certain situations, survival increases and this design is the best version for BMP-2 in the weapons of the invaders. The incidence of these machines indicates that the Russians have not been able to put 675-SB3-CDZs on the serial level. "And that's good," he said.
675-SB3 KDZ is considered rare for the army of the Russian Federation with a set of polymer grates. Theoretically, it should protect against the fire of large caliber machine guns and anti -tank grenade launchers. However, after a canopy of such a set of BMP-2 or other carrier should keep "positive buoyancy", that is, the mass of 675-SB3 kDZ is not significant. We will remind, on December 5 the Ukrainian BMP M2 Bradley withstood the blow of the PTRK in the battles for Avdiivka.
