"Russians have a lot to learn": Romania urged to transfer experience of standardization to local realities

«Russians have a lot to learn»: Romania urged to transfer experience of standardization to local realities
The Russian army has specialized armored vehicles, designed to destroy tanks. However, in the future, the military intends to replace it with a new product., which will organically fit into the line of armored vehicles based on "Armata".

Romania Military believes, this experience of standardization needs to be transferred to the Romanian army, taking into account local realities.

At present, the mobile "anti-tank shield" of the RF ground forces is represented by the "Chrysanthemum-S" systems on the BMP-3 chassis.

But Russia seeks to standardize its weapons, developing a new tank destroyer
– noted in the edition, talking about the T-17 product, which is based on the "Armata" chassis.

Too much diversity can harm the army in terms of logistics […] From this point of view, the Ministry of Defense has a lot to learn from the Russians. Let's go to unitary technique, general motorization, simplified service
– called on the pages of the publication.

As explained, currently, the mobile anti-tank forces of the Romanian troops are represented by the BRDM, armed with ATGM "Baby" and "Konkurs". However, these vehicles no longer fit into the army's arsenal..

we, Romanians, should use then, what do we have on the farm, i.e. light armored vehicles 4 × 4 (Humvee или Vamtac), equipping them with a Spike LR launcher
– author writes, pointing, what his idea has as advantages (high mobility of new SPTRK), and disadvantages (low degree of protection), but, he thinks, outweighs the need for standardization in this equation.

For our part, we note, what's in the Romanian army, According to the IISS on 2020 year, there were 12 BRDM-29P122 with ATGM "Malyutka-M", 74 BRDM-29P133 with "Malyutka-P" and 48 BRDM-29P148 with "Competition" (not counting such anti-tank weapons as 218 cannons M-1977 and stored 23 SAU Su-100). At the same time, there are Israeli portable ATGM Spike LR, which are just proposed to be put on American or Spanish cars.
