T-72M1 tanks transferred by Slovakia are already fighting in Donbas

19

NATO countries continue to supply Ukraine with various weapons systems to counter Russia. For example, in the Donbass, the T-72M1 tanks transferred by Slovakia are already fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A video appeared on the Web showing the movement of a group of such tanks. Footage taken April 18-20 in the Luhansk region is said to show the movement of a Ukrainian T-72AMT tank (the first in the convoy in the video), followed by two Slovak T-72M1 tanks (the second and third in the video).




In the second video, an eyewitness from Poland documented how T-72 tanks were being transported on tractors towards the eastern border of his country. Warsaw recently promised to transfer 100 units of such tanks to Kyiv.


In addition, in the near future, Ukraine expects to receive a large amount of military equipment from its Western allies. equipment and ammunition.

So, Canada promised to supply 4 M777 howitzers of 155-mm caliber and high-precision long-range artillery shells M982 Excalibur with GPS guidance to them (these ammunition have an effective firing range of 40 km, with a circular probable deviation from the target of no more than 5 meters, but their number not specified). The United States is transferring 90 M777 howitzers with tractors for transportation and about 140 thousand shells for them, as well as 12 M142 HIMARS MLRS. Estonia will give 9 D-30 howitzers. Slovakia - 18 self-propelled guns Zuzana. Great Britain - 20 AS-90 self-propelled guns (155 mm) and 10 thousand shells for them.

Belgium will provide up to 24 M109A4BE self-propelled guns. France - 12 CAESAR self-propelled guns. The Netherlands promised up to 24 PzH 2000 self-propelled guns. The Czech Republic is ready to transfer more than 20 DANA and DANA M2 self-propelled guns (this is an “addition” to the already transferred 20 RM-70 MLRS). Poland allocates MLRS BM-21 "Grad" (the number has not yet been determined, but the Poles have 227 of them, and before that they transferred to Kyiv 5 thousand rockets for them of 122-mm caliber) and 20 Gvozdika self-propelled guns.

And this is not a complete list. In fact, the West is rearming Ukraine.

    Why could not the flow of these weapons be stopped when moving from the border to the Donbass?
    Where is the dominance of the Russian Air Force in the air of Ukraine? request
    Again, our soldiers and officers will die from these weapons. negative

      The question is different - have the NATO countries played too much? Maybe it's time for our leadership to reason with them? So it can reach the delivery to Kuev, Tomahawks with nuclear filling ..

        but did the NATO countries play too hard?

        They played, of course. But the question is different - how to stop (or significantly reduce) the supply of weapons to Ukraine. If the politicians cannot agree, the military must act (especially since they are already operating there). We beat the infrastructure (people figured that we need to destroy 22 bridges across the Dnieper), and we cut off the east of Ukraine from the western part. Everything, APU without replenishment. And on highways they don't carry much. What good reasons are there against destroying these bridges?

      Probably, the authorities believe that the explanations that they can give to the people will deal a greater blow to them than their silence.

        Hey people! Do you need a victory or the disclosure of secret plans for the operation, so that the ignoramuses savor how someone bombs whom, with the subsequent failure of the operation?
        Nothing to think about?

    Russia has the ability to bomb railway bridges in western Ukraine? I think yes. Why is this not being done?

    The United States expects a Russian offensive in the Donbas after April 25. Let's wait a little. I still hope that the Natsiks and the United States are in for a surprise. Well, it cannot be that the level of education of our generals was lower than the education of cooks and taxi drivers.

      the generals are fine, it’s just that when the guns are talking, the diplomats (politicians) need to shut up, and in our case, humanist politicians constantly want to look like such peacekeepers in the eyes of their Western partners, and hence all the maneuvers wagging the fifth point, and this is the Kremlin figures trained very well

    I was here "uryakly" declared "Ukronazibot", because sometimes I have a different opinion. But, if there are specialists here, tell me why these tanks are so bad (in appearance they seem to be normal, they even attached some kind of remote control)? On the footage of the chronicle, tanks of the RF Armed Forces sometimes flash by without a remote sensing system at all (of course, it may have already "worked out"), and even a lot of BMP-1 and MTLB. All this help, in my opinion, is very serious. If this goes on, we may see the use of the T-62 and BTR-60.

      T-72M1 - Czechoslovak variant of the Soviet T-72A. It differs from the original in a different filler in the frontal armor of the turret, so its durability is somewhat reduced. But in this case, this is no longer important - the BOPS will flash both the armor of the Slovak tank and the original Soviet one. To protect against the cumulative put "Contact-1". We can say that the level of protection is approximately equal to the T-72B, which is used by both sides.
      Nothing definite can be said about the equipment of the tank. If nothing has been changed, then the OMS is old, night devices with active IR illumination.

      Do such tanks have combat value? Certainly they have. Because it's a tank, with armor that can move and shoot. And in fact, in real battles, it is not some super qualities of a single vehicle that matters, but their competent use as part of a formation and the presence of "accompanying" factors, such as communications, intelligence, etc. With the support of drones and art, such machines can break a lot of firewood.

      If this goes on, perhaps we will see in the application

      if it goes on like this. then we will see Western-made equipment in action. Self-propelled guns are already going to Ukra (in my opinion, German PzH 2000 from the Netherlands Armed Forces and M109 from storage, the French promised "Caesars", the British are their old ones, I don’t remember the digital index), infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers (they will drive the American M113, removed from storage by the Bundeswehr ), in addition, they are pulling up artillery and MLRS (the lady with cookies has already stated that American MLRS are coming - either MLRS, or HIMARS) These are the pies. pancake...

        I meant the use of the RF Armed Forces. Equipment is knocked out and its stocks need to be replenished, and not advanced models are in storage. They will take what they have. The worst, of course, is the loss of people. So-so, perspective...

          1. advanced samples have not yet been involved at all. There, from the most "advanced" is the T-72B3, T-80BV and "Msta" do not wash off the first freshness. For what reason is a topic for another discussion.
          2. I don’t think it will reach 62 - crests will run out ahead.
          Firstly, there is a fairly large mobile reserve of the same 72 and 90
          Secondly, who often leaves the battlefield behind? This means that it is possible to evacuate your damaged equipment and collect trophies. Not all technology is lost forever. For the same tanks, the turret is not always blown off, and not every armored personnel carrier or infantry fighting vehicle burns out from a grenade hit. Part of the beaten equipment is restored in repair battalions, part - at repair factories.
          Thirdly, Russia, unlike Banderland, also has factories that produce new armored vehicles.

    The leadership of the Russian troops has been providing a green corridor for the supply of weapons and fuel from the EU to Ukrainian troops for a month now. It can end liberalism, is it really not a pity for our soldiers, the main thing is to show humanism in relation to the enemy.

      T-90s spotted in Ukraine

      T-90As were spotted there from the first days, but in extremely small numbers.


      But the T-90M - this one, yes, for the first time "lit up" quite recently. Yes, and in the "Cape"
