"Desperate step": why the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation began to use golf karas-Forbes

The Kremlin removes old BMP from storage. The minimum restores them and sends them to the front - it still gives 50 cars a month. But even huge Soviet reserves tend to exhaust. Russia has probably thousands of BMPs in warehouses, but much less than the number is suitable for recovery. Since the beginning of the full -scale war of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, 3500 BMPs have lost. Because of this, the Russians began to experiment.

The Ukrainian Kriegsforscher drone operator says homemade BMPs began to appear on the front. In particular, the outdated T-62 is processed under the infantry fighting machine by dismantling the tower. It is also done with engineering BTS-2. Freedom place is used for the transportation of enemy infantry. This option is not the worst, they write in the publication, because T-62 was not planned as BMP, but has 100mm steel armor in some areas.

Not for nothing was done in Ukraine when they created BMPT-62. From the trophy T-62 removed the tower and made other technique. The worst options for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are recycled MT-LB tractors or Chinese Golfs Desertcross-1000 without any protection. Machines are really used on the front line. Any "conscious army" would entrust the assault actions of the BMP.

But in the Russian Federation they use golf caras, and crews are burning in them, blown out on mines and can be immobile with a sniper rifle. "In Russia, even more tanks, combat vehicles, artillery, and most importantly ammunition than in Ukraine. But the Russians are becoming more and more difficult to completely equip all their front regiments and crews, as their losses are ahead of both new production and return of old weapons from long -term storage, "the author summarized.
