MW: One of the most dangerous tanks in the world appeared on the borders of Russia

19

Thanks to cooperation with South Korea, Poland will become the owner of the most powerful NATO land army in the coming years. Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak last Friday сообщил on the creation of a joint venture for the production of the most modern South Korean tanks K2 Black Panter.

The Polish military plans to replace the existing Soviet T-2s, Polish PT-72s and even German Leopard 91s with K2 Black Panter tanks within a few years. Warsaw has already sent some of its tanks to Ukraine and needs to replenish its own army. The Military Watch Magazin notes that South Korea, unlike the United States, has provided quick deliveries of its tanks and will now become the main supplier of armored vehicles for the Polish army.



MW writes about the intentions of the Polish leadership to bring the number of tanks to 1000 units, which will make the country's army the most combat-ready in Europe. The first South Korean combat vehicles have already arrived in Poland and have been involved in military exercises.

The magazine recalled that the K2 Black Panter is much newer than the German and American tanks and is in many ways superior to the famous M1A2 Abrams and Leopard 2A7. According to the American publication, the South Korean tank has significant advantages over the Russian T-90M and will be a serious threat to the Russian Federation from the Polish army.

The Korean tank has significant advantages over the leading Western tank M1A2 Abrams. The K2 tank has an automatic loading system, which reduces the number of crew and provides a higher rate of fire. The Black Panter has much greater fuel efficiency, fewer maintenance requirements, and the ability to act as an indirect fire artillery system. It also has built-in radar, which distinguishes it from other vehicles, and in combination with a laser rangefinder and a crosswind sensor, provides accurate guidance.

    The question is - where and against whom was it used? What is the result?
    Abrams is a cool tank to drive Bedouins on camels through the desert.

      That's it for the desert with dust Abrams is not suitable. As for the rest, I agree with you. No one had (until now) experience of fighting with a strong enemy, with anti-tank systems, aviation, artillery.

    Theoretically, the K-2 is an attempt to make something like the "Armata" with a South Korean squint.

    Theoretically, the result seems to be quite good, at least at first glance. But the South Caucasus has no experience in using tanks. From here, designers can make a fatal mistake in a question that is absolutely elementary for the Soviet or German school of design. And in the end, get conditionally suitable equipment at a fabulous price.

      It still needs to be serviced - did this tank fight somewhere? Unmeasured electronics - electro magnetic pulse and ek

      This is not an attempt, but still a tank. But we don't need Armata. We have traps that lure the Korean closer to us with sound. Then they throw a lasso on the tank and drag it into the bushes. South Korean - kaput together with obkakpage!

    What exactly are the benefits and what are these benefits?

      You can immediately see the patriot. Schweik told about one such in the Austrian army. He raised his platoon to attack and then a projectile flies on his leg and tears off his leg. He grabs a stick and runs on. The shell rips off his hand in which he held the gun. He intercepts the gun in the other hand and leads to the attack. And then the third shell tears off his head. At the last moment, he takes aim at the Russian plane with a pistol and shoots it down with a well-aimed shot. So, after all, without a head, he no longer knew which way to run and died.

      Well, how about an automatic loader. Only the author for some reason is not aware that we were the first to use the automatic loader. More on the T-72. And even more so on the T-90.
      So what's the big advantage.

    This thing drives and shoots - that's enough to reckon with it. There are three options for how it drives and how it shoots: “very bad”, “like everything is plus or minus” and “wow, what a thing, give me a hundred”. So, until all of it has been weighed and measured, there is no need to relax. No one knows yet how she will show herself. Even the creators. Already now it is necessary to give the design bureau an assignment to improve the characteristics of our ATGMs, to the OPK companies to increase the production of existing ATGMs, and to intelligence - to get all the information on this machine. None of the listed actions will be superfluous.

    1000 tanks? But what about the "funeral" tank theories and forecasts? Or are the Poles stupid?
    IMHO, of course, but the Poles are hysterical. They believe that in this way we can be intimidated or stopped. Against tactical nuclear weapons, this is so-so a trump card.
    But we remember "if you want to ruin a small country, give it a cruiser."
    What about Poland with money-income? Do the Germans pay them reparations? Norwegians sharing LNG revenues? Are there big incomes in Poland? There is none of this.
    The British outside the EU and will not give money.
    The Germans will not be milked - they slaughtered a cash cow by destroying SP-1 and SP-2.
    The French, on the one hand, have always tried to achieve independence, on the other hand, they have never been leaders and rich people. Plus they are losing Africa.
    The United States remains, but they are preparing for a war with China, no one has canceled the banking crisis, again - straining the owners is a thankless task ...
    And the Poles will remain in their pride in loneliness and poverty. But they will show... To whom? Us? We're useless. The rest of the world? So there only Westerners sympathize with them, the essence is they themselves. So the option remains - they will show themselves how strong they are. But beggars.

      So the option remains - they will show themselves how strong they are.

      In the best case - they will run into another section, with the loss of territory - the Germans will definitely return their Danzig (Gdansk in Polish) What the hell are the "reparations" from them to this "hyena of Europe" (c)?
      You read what Taras Shevchenko said about them all!

    Doesn't the T-90 have an automatic loader? And what does better fuel efficiency mean? More range? How much?
    Is there a radar? And the author knows how the T-90 is equipped in order to conclude that the Korean tank is "significantly" superior.
    The author sucked this conclusion out of his finger.
    The only true thing is that the strengthening of the Polish army should be taken into account by Russia.
    It is only necessary to take into account the fact that no one will fight with Poland like with Ukraine.
    Nobody will save the Poles and their cities. No tanks will help them if they rock the boat.

    that won't hurt either. But against tanks, you need to deploy helicopters and attack aircraft, which, having advantages in the range of ATGMs (Whirlwind, Attack, etc.) and mobility that ensures surprise, will be able to stop them from entering the battle line ... "The tank division has never won against a division of helicopters with ATGMs "(c).
    And the rest will not be superfluous, but not the main thing for winning a battle against enemy tanks.

      "An armored division has never won a division of helicopters with ATGMs"

      Yes, Alexander. My nephew spoke about this, Colonel OMON.
      When the tanks were coming at them, in the spring of 22 (north of Kharkov) - the "turntables" burned them ... "Probing" our positions, probably. And his guys - only small arms ... Thanks to the helicopter pilots - they helped a lot ... And they figured out the infantry themselves ... Those under the "drugs" were - they didn’t feel pain at all ... One half of the skull was demolished - and that everything is reaching for the machine ... Finished off ... zombies ...

    The main advantage is the automatic loader. .... caught up with Soviet tanks.
