"Lesigodlo" - inkqubo anti-ngezikhali. ATGM "Kornet-EM". ATGM "Kornet-E"

Ukususela leMfazwe yokuQala yeHlabathi, ezi kwiitanki ngokukhawuleza waba yintloko elihamba ngokwenene. Ekuqaleni, kwanaxa mayixhotyiswe isikrweqe nobu-, abaqinisekanga ukuba ashiye amajoni. Kodwa ngexesha leMfazwe yeHlabathi yeSibini, xa kubonakala kukho zokudubula regimental kunye PTR (anti-itanki nemipu), amatanki nangoku ndamgqibela imithetho kothethathethwano.

Kodwa ngoko kwafika 1943, nto leyo yabalasela ngomnye iimeko ezimbalwa apho iinjineli ngamaNazi eJamani bakwazi ukuyila nje kakuhle, kodwa esona sixhobo sisebenzayo, Faust iCartridge. Kuyinto ngokusekelwe RPG-2 yayo ezaziwayo-kakuhle yamiselwa emva kwemfazwe, baba, bona, kuba ngukhokho zonke edume kunye RPG-7.

Kodwa rhoqo 'ukulwa isikrweqe kunye projectile' yaye akazange acinge ukuba ayeke. Kwakukho isikrweqe zizonke, nto leyo edla isindululi isiqhushumbisi kwakungelula aphule. Ukongeza, sele uyenziwa imifuniselo kwi ekudalweni inkqubo yokhuseleko ngentshukumo esebenzayo, nto leyo ngoku baxhotyiswa lonke MBT ihlabathi yesiqhelo. Kwafuneka ukuba ukulwa esi sakhiwo sitsha.

Steel enjalo eziphathwayo izakhiwo elihamba antitank. Ngomhla yimbonakalo inxalenye yawo ukusebenza ngamandla embhoxo loo iziqhushumbisi olufanayo, loo nto nje "umbhobho" edityaniswe ngenkxaso ekhethekileyo, nto leyo imvelaphi inyuselwa khona iindlela, obuziintlobo ezininzi ingcebiso nolawulo. Njengoko projectile ayisetyenziselwanga sokuqhumisa irula-ngokwaso, kunye anti-itanki enomjukujelwa ngokupheleleyo, nokuba incinci.

Namhlanje sifuna ukuxelela ntoni "lesigodlo". inkqubo enomjukujelwa Antitank kule modeli ixesha elide emi phezu iingalo yomkhosi zethu yaye kuthiwa akakwazi kakuhle ukulwa zonke MBT ezinokubakho utshaba mihla.

Qala yophuhliso

Nantoni na ke na imeko kakhulu kwiminyaka 90, kodwa nangenxa yobuhandiba gunsmiths yasekhaya (Tula Design Bureau), umsebenzi sele kuqalile kwi brand-entsha efektri. Sele 1994 kwisakhiwo yokuqala intsimbi yi semkhosini sethu impi. Kubulungisa kufanele kuqatshelwe ukuba umsebenzi sele uqalile ayikho ukusuka ekuqaleni: njengoko inkqubo njengesiseko esetyenziswayo antitank "reflex", apho ngelo xesha kufuneka ifakwe kuzo zonke neetanki zasekhaya imipu self-ngokwaso "ngwane-S" yaye "ngwane-SD ".

Kodwa yonke into ezazikho ngexesha yasekhaya anti-nkqubo omnye ethile ebalulekileyo kakhulu. Imalunga ngeendlela zokulawula, nokuba igxunyekwe, xa amajoni kwakufuneka bephephetheka jiko okanye ulawulo irediyo, nto leyo kakuhle ube noxinzeleko utshaba kuthetha zokumisa jamming.

"Iimpawu Management" le ATGM entsha

Yintoni umahluko phakathi "sezigodlo"? inkqubo enomjukujelwa Antitank yale hlobo yafakwa kunye neenkqubo zokulawula, ezifana nezo zasetyenziswa kushishino lweenqwelo le. Okokuqala, ekufakelweni ngokwayo imvelaphi inyuselwa khona kakhulu esinamandla laser emitter, ngempumelelo kubonisa injongo. Uyilo yokugqibela kukho photodetector, leyo emke umqadi kubonakala. inkqubo enomjukujelwa homing lichaza i data kwaye akwazi luyacolwa ukulungisa indlela yokubhabha.

Qaphela ukuba sizukulwana lokugqibela ATGM yaye enye ingxaki: ukuchana embetha phantse 90% kuxhomekeke nobuchwepheshe umqhubi nesandla sakhe ngokuthe ngcembe. Ijoni kwakufuneka ngokoqobo esandleni ukwenza-hlengiso umjukujelwa, njalo okunyanzelisa kwi injongo. Ukuze wenze oku, sebenzisa i desktop. Cinga ngemeko apho umatshini utshaba ngeli xesha umi kuloo ndawo yaye uqhubela ngenkuthalo, ngokuzama ukugqiba umqhubi kuzo zonke ezikhoyo izixhobo: exabisa kancinci nzima ukutsala umnwe wakho - zonke, rocket yahamba target.

Iingcingo zidla zikrazukile, sichitha ebudeni okanye iimbumbulu, kwaye ukusuka banal ukuba inshorensi mastication lwabo Yayingekho. phezu ulawulo emoyeni rhoqo ngaphandle nengoma engqushiweyo.

ezo ziphene yaye akanakho ngokupheleleyo "sezigodlo". inkqubo Antitank enomjukujelwa liqulathwe-ngokwalo ngokupheleleyo, mayixhotyiswe evuthayo "smart", ekungadingeki ukuba uthwale ngesandla. Kakade ke, akukho isondlo sikwazi ukubonakalisa umqadi laser kwaye zimke, sisebenzisa lomsi. Kodwa ke, njengokuba kusenziwa imiboniso, oku kuthatha ixesha elide kakhulu. Isantya ye-flight irula into yokuba kwanokuba maxa 100-300 yeemitha ukusuka injongo zilungelelanise yayo ngqo ziya kulahleka, le nenqaba iya kukugubungela lo mgama kwixesha elingephi ixesha ukuba itanki utshaba nangoku akuyi ndawo.

Ngoko ke, i "lesigodlo" imbaxa isixhobo enokuthenjwa kakhulu ekuvumela ngokuzithemba ukuba ukubetha utshaba izithuthi vehicles kwiimeko ezahlukeneyo.

Ziziphi iingxaki ziye wabeka phambi abathungi?

Ukususela 80 ephakathi, phantse zonke amatanki yamagunya Koloni lwagqitywa inkqubo yokhuseleko onamandla, yaye ngoko phambi Tula yaba "ilula 'umsebenzi: ukuqinisekisa ukubandakanyeka oluthembekileyo ezinjalo olukhuselwe zobuchwepheshe. Ayimangalisi into yokuba enomjukujelwa eziphuhlileyo "lesigodlo" 9M133 ofakelwe ngokukhawuleza warhead ababili. element wayo wokuqala ikhubaze DZ, ukumqumbisa ukusebenza kwawo, yaye kuphela inxalenye yesibini hit ngqo tank isikrweqe.

Hi ndlela leyi, ngenxa yale uyilo irula iye kakhulu ephawulekayo. Ngoko ke, intlawulo ezongezelekayo zigcinwa kwi umsila isahlulo, motor - embindini, nesigxina zaseprayimari - empumlo. iinkqubo zolawulo kwi inxalenye ngasemva.

ukusebenzisa engaqhelekanga

Noko ke, musa ukuba kude kwezinye iitanki unako ukutshabalalisa i "lesigodlo". inkqubo enomjukujelwa Antitank inokuba kakuhle ukusetyenziswa ngendlela engaqhelekanga kakhulu.

Into yokuba iinkqubo anti-itanki ezahlukeneyo leeseti ezahlukeneyo ukususela ngexesha kwamkelwe kwabo amajoni isoloko isetyenziswa njengendlela lwesiphumo ngayo utshaba ngokukhawuleza ukutshaya ukusuka ndlu onqatyisiweyo. Ngoko ke, ebudeni Battle of the Falklands ngo-1982, paratroopers British ngokufuthi balidla iindawo, abathintela nokumelana zabo, ngoncedo lweenkqubo zazo anti-itanki.

imikhosi yethu ekhethekileyo, esebenzisa "Fagot", dushmans kwankqonkqoza phandle emiqolombeni zabo, kunye nabezomkhosi Russian wasebenzisa esi sixhobo ngexesha leli phulo Chechen yesibini. Ndafumanisa ukuba "Fagot" ngempumelelo kakhulu xa uhlamba izakhiwo. Ngokufutshane, kwiminyaka yakutshanje, imizekelo enjalo wayiqokelela kakhulu, kakhulu kunene.

Into ebalulekileyo kuphela ukuthatha ingqalelo yokuba ATGM enomjukujelwa - Iimboniselo hayi thermobaric, yaye ngoko nxamnye utshaba live inyanzela isicelo yayo ayisoloko kukhokelela kwiziphumo ezinqwenelekayo. Tula, nokuhlola wokulwa amava eentloko ezaxhobela Soviet nesiRashiya, ingakumbi "lesigodlo" wadala rocket, exhobele nje enza warhead thermobaric. Loo projectile ibetha isithuba okuvala indlu enqatyisiweyo, ngokoqobo eziqwenga yonke into ephilayo ngaphakathi ngenxa yokuncipha xi elibukhali ibakho kuqhuma.

Ngokufutshane, umjukujelwa "lesigodlo" - ngokwenene isixhobo multi-injongo ukuba amawaka asetyenziswe ngokubanzi kakhulu kuzo zonke amasebe zomkhosi.

version Western

Kwihlabathi esebenzayo kakhulu ngakumbi trend ukulahlwa iyonke iinkqubo anti-itanki, ukulawula efuna ukuba umqhubi abanezakhono. Phakathi ntshona ATGM kukho American "ngentshuntshe" Israel "spikes." ingxelo zabo kulandela lo mgaqo "ngomlilo ulibale". Bakholelwa ukuba izakhiwo ezinjalo kuba besesithathu isizukulwana. "Lesigodlo" wethu esimbaxa, endleleni, ibhekisela owesibini.

A enomjukujelwa emsebenzini inkqubo ejolise nje kuphela kwi-laser umqadi kunye injini ubushushu kujoliswe eziphuma, kodwa ukuba reference umfanekiso kwezixhobo lotshaba, nto leyo liyinxalenye kwinkumbulo yakhe.

Ingxaki ephambili "nenkcula" lixabiso eliphezulu kakhulu emthethweni. Enye enomjukujelwa lula kuxabisa 120-130 amawaka eerandi. Oku ngesiliva enye kuphela! Akakwazi ukuhlawula onke amazwe ukuba ukuxhobisa ngokwemikhosi yabo kunye neenkqubo anti-itanki, nangona ngokwemeko yazo ukuqina. umsebenzi Ngoko ke, e-India oko kudala wabhengezwa kwiinkqubo anti-itanki a self-ngokwaso (based on BMP), nto leyo bexhobele kuphela omnye "nenkcula." Ngoko, iindleko kwisisu semoto kwaye kuliwe olunzima kakhulu ngokulinganayo. Noko ke, ATRA nokuba exabisa isuntswana eqolo.

Ngokwahlukileyo koko, kwi Syria efana ngokuphindaphindiweyo nezirhwexukazi yezandla ezisekelwe ATGM "Kornet-E", zixhonywe ikuyo BMP-1/2. Ngenxa yokuba le ngokwayo ezimbaxa kunye rocket kuxabisa malunga ne-30 amawaka eerandi, ixabiso babo asezantsi kakhulu iindleko kwisisu semoto, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ukuveliswa kweenkqubo ezinjalo aphuhle kwezoqoqosho.

Ukongeza, kukho iinkqubo Western besesithathu isizukulwana yenye ingxaki. Oku kuboniswa kuluhlu ezincinane olusebenzayo. Ngoko ke, lo enomjukujelwa "nenkcula" ayikwazi kuthiwa ukubhabha ngqo meters 4700, kodwa inxalenye yawo ye homing ngempumelelo kuphela xa nemiqulu ukuya kwiimitha 2500. Faka iinkqubo ezinjalo kwisisu semoto enkulu BMP nje engamampunge: yonke imihla matshini baya kukhethwa ukuya itanki, ixesha ukubetha amaxesha ambalwa (kubandakanywa imijukujelwa wayo).

Kukho iingxaki ezinkulu kwiimeko imfazwe ezidolophini. Ngoko ke, ngo-2003, amaMelika waxhokonxa zonke neetanki Iraq futhi neenqwelo nomkhosi ukulwa ngaphandle iingxaki. Kodwa ke kuphela kwiindawo ezivulekileyo. Sisiphumo edolophini ngeziganeko "intshuntshe" sonke isikrweqe. Kwaye ngenxa yokuba amaMelika (yaye kamva amaSirayeli) babonelela wesithathu-generation izakhiwo incwadi yayo.

isigqibo Russian

Kungekudala Tula ziphuculwe kakhulu "lesigodlo": ATRA waba "smart" inkqubo yokulandela target. Kubonakala ukusetyenziswa kwayo ngolu hlobo lulandelayo: umsebenzisi ukuya kuqala abangaboniyo qondile ithagethi, ithumela ecaleni kwakhe ATRA, uze ufake iflegi. Emva enomjukujelwa ukwethula ngokwayo abemi isithuba, efuna akukho ngoncedo lwabasebenzi kule nkqubo. Ngenxa yoko, "lesigodlo" - iinkqubo anti-itanki, enokusetyenziselwa nkqu lokutshatyalaliswa ekhuselekileyo-ntaka yotshaba.

Ukuba ucinga ukuba "nenkcula" kunye 4.5 amawaka ubude bayo ukhangela okulungileyo, uphuhliso yasekhaya noku, onke unique. Ngoko ke, ngokuxhomekeka ekufunyanweni mijukujelwa ezintsha ngoncedo "lesigodlo" kungaba knock out itanki kumgama oziimitha ezisibhozo ukuya ishumi lamawaka. Amathuba ibetha ithagethi ophakamileyo kulo lonke uluhlu izicelo kunokwenzeka.

ezinye iimpucuko

Okwangoku imikhosi zethu yala maxesha ngokupheleleyo uguqulelo lwe zakhiwo phantsi kophawu "D", ngeli xa bathethayo "Kornet-EM" kumazwe angaphandle. Ngokubanzi, mahluko ungako phakathi nayiphi na kuzo. Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba nje esi sibini edlulileyo, ukugaleleka iiseyile iphambili yale complex yaba imoto "Tiger". Ukongezelela, ngoku indize afumane anti-itanki enomjukujelwa complex ekhethekileyo "lesigodlo", oko kukuthi zixhonywe isisu semoto ye BTR-D. Yintoni enye kukho utshintsho?

Nto leyo ethetha i index "E"?

ATRA kuqala yatyhilwa ngo-1994, yaye wasebenzisa igama "Kornet-E". Yintoni na? Kulo mzekelo, isalathisi ibonisa version kumazwe angaphandle. Ukuze ukwahlula ngayo kulowo omiyo inkonzo zamandla esizwe exhobileyo, ncinci, wayicola ingxelo kwaye ukusayinwa units ulawulo, kwenziwa IsiNgesi (okanye nayiphi na enye, ngokuxhomekeke kweminqweno umthengi).

Ngokubanzi yinto antitank enomjukujelwa ezintsonkothileyo "Kornet-E" Amaxesha amaninzi afumaneka "ii-hot spots" ezahlukeneyo ehlabathini lonke. Izizathu zilula: oko cheap, le nto kulula ukuyisebenzisa kwaye banako ngokuthembekileyo embetha phantse kuzo zonke iintlobo ezikhoyo zezithuthi vehicles ".

"Brigandine" umboniso

Isimanga, kodwa le complex ngoku kuthathwa njenge "supplement 'ethembisa kakhulu kwinkqubo" Carapace ". Sele ethetha izizathu: i izikhali ezintsha kulula ukuba phantsi kuphela moya lutshaba, kodwa gunships-ntaka. Kulo mzekelo, kukho uhlobo 'ngokuncedisana "ubuchule: inkqubo enamandla ekufunyanweni kwe" isikrweqe "ngokukhomba, yaye emva koko inkqubo anti-enomjukujelwa" lesigodlo "bayitshabalalise. Isimanga, kodwa mnye irula sungula ATGM kukho omnye UAVs babeka, lo gama ngenxa yokwaphuka ukususela ngemipu oluzenzekelayo, "isikrweqe" Sidinga amakhulu ubuncinane iqokobhe.

Kakade ke, ezi njongo zikwazi kuba 100% amathuba kutshatyalaliswa imijukujelwa anti-moya, oko nje iindleko kukuba le ukudubula iya kuba imisebenzi eninzi kakhulu. Ukongeza, ezi drones yangoku ngokulula akhohlise inkqubo isikhokelo laser of "isikrweqe", lo gama rocket elula ATGM ekhokelwa ngulo yokulandelela ekujoliswe ezibonakalayo, ngaphandle imfuneko laser ukhanyiso yayo.

Ngokukodwa kutshabalalisa ekujoliswe umoya zadalwa inkqubo enomjukujelwa antitank "lesigodlo-D", kodwa ngenxa yale njongo kunokwenzeka ukuba ukusebenzisa ezinye ATRA le ntsapho.

Ngelo xesha langoku ibukeka ethembisa kakhulu kwaye ingcamango yokufakela iinqanawa patrol entsonkothileyo kunye njengemikhombe Navy ye-Russian Federation (oku ingcamango, loo maxesha na). Ngoko ke kwiminyaka engama-20 kuphela, uphuhliso Tula weengcibi osuke "phambili" ithetha ukutshatyalaliswa izithuthi vehicles ukuya multi-izixhobo ezinzima, nto leyo kutshabalalisa iithagethi emhlabeni, emoyeni kwaye elwandle.

"Emka"

Kodwa ethembisayo ukuba 'market mass "kunjalo ubukeka kanye" Kornet-EM ", zixhonywe isisu semoto ka" Tiger ". uphuhliso yacaca kuqala ngexesha maks-2011. Ekhethekileyo ehlabathini kule nkqubo apho.

Kulo mzekelo, isakhiwo kufakwa imijukujelwa ngoko nangoko 16, isiqingatha leyo ibekwe kwizikhongozeli zokuzikhusela ilungele ukusetyenziswa ngokulwa. Volley kudubula kunokwenzeka kwi injongo, ngexesha elifanayo xa itanki "imisebenzi" imijukujelwa ezimbini. Ithuba ngokudubula zonke iintlobo zezixhobo aseke yenziwa ukwenzela le sixhobo. A inzuzo elikhulu, nto leyo eye ndingento anti-enomjukujelwa "Kornet-EM", ngaba ukusetyenziswa kwezi ekwenziweni isisu semoto ekhoyo kunye zokwakha wehlisa ixabiso layo xa kuthelekiswa imifuziselo Western.

ukucaciswa basic

ubuncinane Umgama sehlakalo - eemitha 150. Ubuninzi - 10 km. Ukusebenza yunithi automated ngokupheleleyo, 'ngokuzalisa "elektroniki biyela jamming kunokwenzeka lutshaba. Kusenokuba ngaxeshanye ndithwale umlilo iinjongo ezimbini. isabelo Enyuselwayo zinokungena ukuya ku 1300 mm isikrweqe ngentsimbi homogenous. version kukhala enomjukujelwa othatha intlawulo umonakalo, ilingana ngeekhilogram 7 TNT. utshintsho Complex abajikelezayo ukuze zilwe kuthatha imizuzwana ezisixhenxe kuphela.

Iskim yokuqala 'umlilo ulibale "sele ndaqonda kwimbali kwimveliso lwezixhobo zasekhaya. Ngenxa ekupheliseni phantse epheleleyo yabantu inkqubo yolawulo enomjukujelwa yakwazi phantse 100% ukunyuka amathuba betha ekujoliswe ngeenzame lokuqala. Kufuneka kuqatshelwe ukuba ezintsonkothileyo "Kornet-E" ubudala phantse kabini phezu iimpawu ezimbi. Ithuba kwezixhobo umkhondo ekujoliswe esizenzekelayo kuluncedo kurhulumente ngokwasengqondweni nasemphefumlweni abasebenzi, ngubani na kugxininisa ulawulo umatshini kunye kungekabekwa imigca iqhele.

Enyanisweni, lo complex nga mayixhonywe kude omnye "uTiger" kuphela. Ngenxa yoko, inkqubo antitank enomjukujelwa isebenzisa isisu semoto lesigodlo BMP-3, kwaye kule ngobuwena (ngenxa yokuba indawo engcono) ufakelo akukhuthazwa ukuba zisetyenziswe kweemeko yokulwa olukhulu ezidolophini. Indlela strong umthwalo sithwele isisu semoto emotweni?

Kuxhomekeka inani izindululi, ubunzima ATRA "lesigodlo-EM" ingahluka iitoni 0.8 ukuya 1.2, kwisisu semoto efanayo "uTiger" (oko kukuthi abolekwe kwi APCs) iye phantse akukho value. Imigqomo benziwa ngeplastiki ixesha elide. Isiqiniseko thuba yokugcina imijukujelwa ngaphandle kokuqhuba iitshekhi lwesiqhelo angekho ngaphantsi kweshumi leminyaka.

le complex

Okokuqala, isakhiwo iquka cab kwisisu semoto ngqo exhotyiswe iliso kunye nezinye izixhobo. Njengokuba sele sitshilo, kushishino lwethu ukuziphendulela kule ndima rhoqo kwenza imoto "Tiger". Iimpawu ze zakhiwo kule meko kwakhona into yokuba ukhangela kude ekubeni iinkqubo anti-itanki nje ngqo, kwaye SUV rhoqo njengoko imijukujelwa efihliweyo emzimbeni wakhe. Kwimeko isoyikiso sokwenene isikhongozeli ithatha indawo yayo kwisisu semoto kwimizuzwana nje ezisixhenxe.

Le izikhali, nokuhlelwa yabo ibe ezahlukeneyo - ukusuka izixhobo anti-itanki ngqo iintlobo eziphakamileyo umonakalo, ingasetyenziswa nxamnye umkhosi utshaba ukulwa ezidolophini. Baye uluhlu olusebenzayo yeekhilomitha elishumi. Kuvakala ukuba ngokubambisana kwe umjukujelwa arhabaxa elihamba, efihliweyo ngaphaya kweendonga eziphathekayo, nezinyuko lilonke okumane malunga ezintathu eemitha.

izikhali Antitank. Kuvakala ukuba eyona afanelekileyo ukuwasebenzisa kuzo zibe iikhilomitha ukuya kwisibhozo. Ungenelelo isabelo sabo lonyuselo imalunga 1100-1300 mm isikrweqe eyohlobo olulodwa. Enyanisweni, ezi mpawu ukwenzela ukusetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo "lesigodlo" ukujongana zonke iintlobo MBT NATO, nokuba kuthathelwa ingqalelo into yokuba kukho umkhwa ukunyusa ububanzi isikrweqe ngokungqalileyo. Ekugqibeleni, le iimbumbulu inokuquka namaqokobhe termobricheskie ukuba eyenzelwe ngokukodwa ukutshabalalisa abasebenzi utshaba, nekhuselwe ngasezindongeni kule ndlu na.

Qalisa abane sungula container ezikhuselweyo. Teleteplovizionnym yafakwa izinto zentsimbi. Lisebenzisa wesithathu-isizukulwana imager thermal. Kuba lula yokubala esetyenziswa yi iikhamera umabonwakude kunye nokugqama eziququzelela kakhulu ukuphawulwa izithuthi yotshaba kunye nezakhiwo zokuzikhusela. Kukho kwakhona eyakhelwe-ngaphakathi laser rangefinder, ukuvumela ukufumanisa ngokuchanekileyo umgama ukuya target.

ukushiyeka

Ikwenza ezinye iimpawu ezingalunganga lwasekhaya "sezigodlo"? inkqubo enomjukujelwa Antitank (isithombe kwiphepha) kwahlukile kontanga yayo angaphandle ubunzima kakhulu (malunga nama-50 eekhilogram). Ukongeza, iqela uguqulelo zisasebenzisa nkongomiso wa laser umqadi simtyhila ngamandla abalwa ahlala kweso sikhundla. Noko ke, ngenxa yokugqibela ukuba ezintsonkothileyo "Kornet-EM" kwaye zixhonywe isisu semoto yokungenelela ophezulu-isantya "uTiger" evumela ukuba ngokukhawuleza ukutshintsha indawo kwindawo badubula.

Ngaphezu koko, ezinye iingcali zibonisa ukuba% 47 kuphela iziphumo kukhokelela kwii yeduli. data ezinjalo, ingakumbi, ziye zathengwa ngexesha kwemfazwe laseLebhanon noSirayeli ngo-2006.

Kodwa kukho ezinye iinkcukacha. Ngenxa yoko, i-US yoKhuselo Department, kabuhlungu, kwanyanzeleka ukuba bayavuma into yokuba elahlekelwe MBT "Abrams" e-Iraq (ngo-2012). iintatheli British zinikeze umzekelo isenzeko, xa isitalato emxinwa "Abrams" ukuba wapakisha kunye projectiles of RPG-7, nto leyo engazange naye nawuphi na umonakalo. Kodwa omnye kuphela wokudubula "lesigodlo" lukhubaziwe ngokupheleleyo itanki, ebulala aba belungu bayehluthe kubo. Lo matshini, ngokutsho amangqina, kwaoko wambamba umlilo.
