"Tos-1 for the poor": the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation installed bombic RBB-6000 systems on old tanks (video)

According to journalists, putting the launchers of the 60's on a truck or tractor, Russian engineers were at risk. The radius of action of the protical RBU-6000-several km. Everything that carries them is vulnerable to mortars, PTRC and FPV-Dron. One of the worst Russian armored vehicles, apparently, evolves. Since last fall, Russian troops began to experiment and install existing reactive reactive-obombous RBU-6000 systems on board trucks and armored MT-LB tractors. Forbes writes about it.

RBU-6000 systems were usually equipped with warships. 12-barrel RBU-6000-weapons are inaccurate, but is quite suitable for suppressing the enemy troops, writes David ex. Putting the launcher of the 60's on a truck or insufficiently protected tractor MT-LB, the Russians were still at risk. The radius of action of RBU-6000-several kilometers: and everything that lies will be vulnerable to mortars, PTRC and FPV-Dron, not to mention heavy artillery and rockets.

Russian Marines seem to understand the problem and tries to solve it by combining old launchers with no less old tank chassis. To improve their protection. The video, which was posted on social networks this week, shows RBU-6000 on the tanks of the T-80 tanks. In September, a photo of these guns appeared on the MT-LB tractor. At least 13-ton MT-LB is a fairly reliable platform for the starting installation.

What can not be said of another vehicle for RBU-6000-a 4-ton truck, to which the bombing system was attached with bolts and apparently trimmed with a piece of wood. Such a monster Frankenstein appeared in November. In both early options - one drawback: there is no reliable armor. MT-LB can still withstand light artillery shelling and the truck is not. The absence of armor would not be a problem if the RBU-6000 missiles flew further five km.

But with an existing range to try to approach the positions of defense forces within a few kilometers to drop RGB-60 missiles-for Russian military the same as suicide. Burning-out FPVs are about five km from Ukrainian positions everywhere and all the time. FPV carries only half a kilogram of explosives, but this is enough to fail the RBU-6000, located on a truck or tractor, or cause a more powerful secondary explosion.

The T-80 tank housing with armor in tens or hundreds of millimeters, on the contrary, can protect the crew in the event of a rocket explosion. Strengthening their start-up RBU-6000 settings with additional armor, the Russians, in fact, made a flamethrower installation of the Tos-1 for the poor (24 thermobaric missiles on the tank chassis). The powerful missiles of the Solnacekec system range 3 km, they burst sharply when struck. Tos-1 crews often do not survive during their cars.
