Although in the sky in the modern field of battle the "flocks" drones are raging, it is the so -called "barbecue" (grates of protection against discharges) is one of the means to save the tank and its crew, as if they would not laugh at these "barbecues". The editor of the military focus, the Israeli military observer Igal Levin, told this in an interview. In his opinion, any additional remedy that at least 0. 5% increases the chance of surviving will be popular in the crew. Even banal sand bags.
However, for protection, you have to pay for something, and in a situation with the technique of its maneuverability, the ability to quickly shoot and quickly plant infantry with armor. "It is not necessary to be a great engineer to understand that the boiled sheets of iron or grates reduce the main quality of the tank - mobility," emphasizes Levin.
"It also falls on firing and fire power, because the tank tower cannot return quickly or cannot be returned at all and proceeds at all Make extra maneuver to spread the gun with the tank body, which gives the opponent time to make a good shot. " The military observer notes that the designers develop a tank model so that it has a harmonious functioning of both the combat part, the mobile and the maneuvre. None of these functions can adversely affect each other.
"For example, the Merkava Israeli tank is a very protected model that has done everything possible to protect the crew," Levin notes. "But new trends with drones require protection of protection, including through the use of radio electronic fighting products. " It is on the electronic means of protection, ribs and various scanners that the future will be concentrated in the protection of tanks, says the observer.
All these "brazier" is a temporary solution that is used because of the need that is currently and now. Moreover, according to Levin, these "brazier" in the army of the Russian Federation is more careful about the average link of commanders, which are closer to the fighting. "All this is the initiative of individuals, because the main problem is not to develop a" king-harmat "or" king-mangal ", but in order to systematize all this," the observer notes.
"The occupiers are actively experimenting from different kinds" The barbecue "and began to install them at the beginning of the invasion. " It was then that, according to Levin, the attempts of the Russians began to somehow systematize the "visor" against drones on their tanks.
