A blow to one of the military vehicles went straight into the board. The result was foiled board screen with containers attached to it. Also were damaged several rollers. None of the crew members was injured. Clashing machine, as if nothing had happened, came to the finish line.



The incident has once again demonstrated remarkable vitality chassis trucks Nizhny Tagil. How to say military experts, if such occurred with the machine having Kharkov chassis, the damage could be simply fatal. The small "saucers" rollers would simply smashed. This certainly would have got damaged hull of the tank with all the consequences for the crew and the equipment fighting machine. What is unthinkable for Nizhny Tagil machines.



Previously, these features "semdesyatdvoek" already in combat more than once saved the crews of tanks. In the North Caucasus are often large diameter rollers protected from penetration of the cumulative reactive face of the body fighting vehicles, becoming a sort of additional screens. Is it any wonder that the Chinese and Pakistani engineers designing new tanks, do not reinvent the wheel, but simply copied elements of the chassis trucks Nizhny Tagil.
