Robot tanks will not "shoot": Why Russia revitalized the failure of the unmanned T-72

Russian propaganda for all power is tricky about the development of a remotely managed tank. In fact, the military enforcement officer Alexander Kovalenko assures, it is an old Soviet development, and in its time, safely closed . . .

As for the remotely controlled T-72, with which the last day is worthy of Russian propaganda, saying-a new milestone! Which, in particular, outraged our journalists, especially those who write about the war and are automatically considered to be professional troops, who immediately began to get a sofa lazy, such as I, whom they consider experts, in non-stop. No, to banal to climb in Wikipedia or here is your Google and find out about the projects remotely controlled tanks.

In general, the Russians created a sensation? In fact, no. The Russians decided to arrange an information Krynzasin on the next cheers-patriotic ditch? Also, not quite so. The project of a remote control tank emerged in the USSR in the late 1970s, in the 1980s, it was flooded with crazy money, and the main base was not a wonderful T-64, contradictory, but still not lost T-80, but defective and poor T. -72.

Result? The project, despite the infused funds, which can be compared with the creation of a new modification of one of the existing tanks, did not impress the then management of the USSR - and the project was closed. And now, more than 30 years later, Russian Kulibins got out of the dusty drawer what was buried before it was not even born and decided to present it as a new milestone in the development of the Russian MIC. Yes, you are right - it's a poverty, but there is a nuance.

Taking into account the losses of roofs, especially among the crews, to prepare a more or less basic crew for a new combat vehicle, the Russians are no longer enough time. For their part, tanks now either stupidly break through the lines of defense, or perform the function of artillery. But the experience of the 1980s is enough to translate the English tanks into remote functionality and not even cook crews, just cook metal on the frame.

Therefore, yes, I fully agree - the poverty, but in general, I would not be so unique to what is happening on the other side. They will not prove tanks to the level of a fully remote-discharged combat vehicle in the battlefield, but also a tank-anarrh that breaks the border, is essentially a locomotive, not a fighting machine.
