"T-90M near Moscow": with this title came the Polish edition of Defense24, as if new Russian tanks are already in the vicinity of Warsaw. As it indicates, armored vehicles of this type began to enter the arsenal of the 1st tank army ZVO. Total expected transfer of army 400 T-90M to 2027 year.
The new hope of the Polish defense industry
These will be one of the most modern main battle tanks of the army there.
– Notes Defense24.
In this case, it is indicated in parallel, that it is planned to significantly increase the anti-tank potential of the Polish armed forces. Its basis should be 68 mm RPG-75 grenade launchers. They were developed in Czechoslovakia and were used by the local army with 1975 of the year.
But [this grenade launcher] developing all the time, to meet modern battlefield requirements
– writes Defense24.
In his words, Warsaw plans to buy the RPG-75 production technology and release tens of thousands of weapons of destruction for enemy armored vehicles - various numbers are called, 10, 50 and even 150 thousand. weapons. Now all rights to the grenade launcher belong to the Czech side, but she is ready to meet Polish wishes.
The main thing is open hatches
The grenade launcher is currently available in three major versions.. first modification, RPG-75М, cumulative action, capable of piercing armor with a thickness greater than 300 mm and is designed to destroy equipment: not only infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, but also tanks - taking into account the "in areas with poor protection".
The second option, RTG (RPG-75 TB) thermobaric action. As Defense24 points out, he is able to “disable armored vehicles (including heavy tanks) […] Destroyed elements of the optical systems of tanks, communication antennas or equipment, in charge of remotely controlled weapons ".
Third modification, RPG-75 MP, has a cumulative-thermobaric warhead, capable of punching at least 150 mm armor. This version "may be especially effective against technology, in which hatches are open at the moment of contact ”, indicates the Polish edition.
Our opponents [in Iraq and Afghanistan] clearly avoided fighting with soldiers, armed grenade launchers [RPG-75] with such [thermobaric] shells. The weapon is light, reliability and ease of use
– considers one of the Polish military, visited the "hot spots".
As a result, it remains to “wish” the Polish military a clash with the enemy, sunk in tanks with open hatches. When hovering an RPG-75 on it - a new hope for the local defense industry - the crews of the armored vehicles themselves will scatter from the battlefield, throwing armored vehicles.
