Under Kharkov FPV destroyed a hybrid of a tractor of the Russian Federation with rockets for attacks on submarines (photo, video)
Initially, it seemed to be a powerful Russian thermobaric system of the Bratino Tos-1. About it writes OSINT analyst David ex on the Forbes website. But when the drone flew to such technique, it turned out that it was not a Tos-1, but something even more strange and rare. The kind of rocket transport combined the corps of the old T-72B and no less the old launcher for the pro-joint missiles-RBU-6000 "Smerch-2".
"Frankenstein of the Russian tractor and marine rocket launcher," the 3rd assault press service wrote. T-72B, intensified RBU-6000 is the latest development in the Frankenstein line, which appeared in 29 months of war in Ukraine, and another proof of the problems of the Russian army. The losses of specialized equipment of the Russian Federation in Ukraine reached about 16 thousand, and the Russian soldiers try to build or remove the right number of cars from conservation.
The Russian army entered a full-scale war with approximately 50 installations of the Tos-1 Buratino and lost half. The disadvantage of the TOS-1 explains why the Russian Federation, apparently, imports North Korean rocket transport and screws marine rocket launchers to the outdated T-72B. Thousands of such tanks are in open storage throughout Russia. The RBU-6000 was intended for drowning submarines, but they cannot be called a bad weapon for the ground war.
This system is not suitable for accurate blows, but for the suppression of enemy troops. The problem in the range. Tos-1 releases two dozen missiles at a distance of about 9 km. RBU-6000-a dozen rockets, probably half of such a distance. The closer the starting unit to the front line, the higher the risk of fire in response.
The Armed Forces was destroyed half of the ToS-1, and the RBU-6000 first appeared in Ukraine about a year ago, since then the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were strengthened by their armor-first installed on poorly protected tractors and MT-LB trucks and then on the buildings of old T-80 tanks And finally, at least one T-72b. Ukraine destroyed one of the RBU-6000 RBU on a truck in April. There are few in the Russian Federation, which can do to protect their missile "Frankenstein".
The T-72B housing is better protected than, say, the Ural truck. But RBU-6000 is still a RBU-6000-it doesn't matter what it will be attached to. A pack of 12 fragile rockets, each of which will almost surely explode when hitting an FPV-arom, artillery fragment, or even a few machine-gun queues. According to the author of the publication, the advanced line in Ukraine is today the most dangerous landscape in the world.
More than a thousand kilometers of trenches and virvs, mines and drones have been absorbed by tens of thousands of vehicles and hundreds of thousands of vehicles in less than three years. No rocket launch installation-neither Tos-1 nor the impromptu T-72B with RBU-6000-will be safe here. And the 3rd assault showed it clearly. Recall how it may have destroyed the 12-ton Mi-8 helicopter for the first time in the history of the FPV-Dron.
