The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation invented a new catapult for the crew of the tank: what is wrong with it - experts
The invention appeared after during the two years of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost more tanks than they had an invasion of Ukraine. Defense Express experts told about the peculiarities of the tank crew catapulting system. Experts drew attention to the user of the social network X (Twitter), related to the resource BTVT. info, on which they write about Russian tanks. The post published on June 4 is a patent for a crew catapult.
The author posted two illustrations that made it possible to understand how the system would work. According to Defense Express experts, the Russians may have problems with this invention. According to the idea of Russian designers, the crew is in a special capsule with pyropatron. The capsule is located in the front of the tank, has special axis of rotation and is mounted on skins with springs and screeds.
The experts noticed in the scheme that the crew is protected from the ammunition with armored plants, and the shells are invested so that they "look" in the other direction. The author of the publication did not describe in detail how catapulting. He only reported that the brake was working and the engine is suppressed. In the new catapult, experts identified two problems: the DE portal reminded that the Russians pushed the problem that was discovered by the Russo-Ukrainian War.
In particular, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost 7806 tanks, that is, twice as much as they had a working condition before the war. In addition, the video from the battlefield shows more than once the tank tower flies after the ammunition detonation - in this case, there was no chance of surviving the crew. Earlier, the focus talked about new methods of protection used by Russians to protect against airborne aircraft.
For example, in the spring of 2024, tanks-tanks appeared on the battlefield, completely upholstered with iron slabs, and from above they were lined with Reb. Similar adaptations of Ukrainians were noticed in Krasnogorivka, and they did not succeed from the first time. Another invention of the enemy is golf carrier and motorcycles that were covered with grates. There were also photos of armored vehicles, to which metal cages were welded, and the chains that did not fly below were released below.
