During World War II, German tankers had a memo attached next to their workplace.No, there were no instructions or any "encouraging quotes from the Führer", everything was much more prosaic - it was written down how much it costA combat vehicle in terms of the number of familiar products or things.
A guy from the countryside or from the working-class suburbs had to understand that the country had entrusted him with it.If you've ever been in the army not as a guest, but on full-time service, you could see for yourself how much conscripts (and some contract soldiers) don't give a damn about expensive government equipment, which they treated like a toy, because "Well, what's that?"Moreover, after returning from the army, these soldiers will even wipe their penny Zhiguli "two-swallows", and shudder at every knock, and consult for hours on forums on the Internet what spare parts are better to buy, and where to find a good master.
But in working with an armored personnel carrier or an army KamAZ formillions of rubles a jammed engine is a classic situation, simply because of a disregard for checking the oil level. And on the march, staggering the entire suspension, collecting potholes and potholes is a sacred thing.
Therefore, today we will talk about how muchmilitary equipment costs about the budget, because looking at the pictures from the Bugatti, everyone understands - “doroha and bohato”. And now you will know how many of these Bugatti can be bought for the price of BMP-3.
Light armored vehicles
Let's start withBMP-2This car is objectively obsolete, but they have been stamped out a lot, and here it isIt will not be so easy and quick to replace them with new models (when we reveal the prices for new cars, you will understand why), while the "two-wheelers" continueImprove fire control system, communication equipment and observation devices.With the Berezhok fighting compartment, the latest version of the BMP-2, the favorite milf of Russian motorized riflemen, began to cost29.5 million rubles per unit.
BMP-2M
A lot? We're just getting started, it's getting furtherBMP-3. It is already very different from its predecessor.Firstly, because it is much better armored - the middle frontal part has a 10 mm steel screen, then 70 mm air gap, + 12 mm steel again, and finally 60 mm aluminum. From the sides of 43 mm aluminum armor, the protection, frankly, is much better, the forehead holds hits from 30 mm armor-piercing shells from 200 meters.
Armament is also worse - 100-mmsmoothbore gun-launcher, from which you can send not only armor-piercing, but also ATGMs. It is paired with a 30 mm automatic cannon for more prosaic tasks, plus machine guns. Almost a tank, because he can fight tanks almost on an equal footing. At least not the most modern ones.
The cost of the last purchase of 168 vehicles for the army is about85 million rublesper unit, the documents did not indicate which "configurations", but most likely we are talking about the classic version with the Bakhcha-U module.

A little more prosaic prices forBTR-82AAlthough it has been brought in terms of firepower almost to the level of an infantry fighting vehicle, due to30 mm 2A72 automatic cannon (unlike the 2A42 on the BMP-2, the accuracy is lower, but the recoil is softer, so it was crammed onto a lighter chassis).Such a machine costs the treasury29-30 million rublesAnd these are 2016 prices.
Well, what about the paratroopers, which have been updated for a long timeBMD-4MPredictably, airborne equipment is more expensive (and the same aluminum alloys in armor) - in the same 2019, they were purchased for117 million apiece. Your gangsta rappers waving their arms around the helicons couldn't even dream of such expensive cars!

Therefore, it becomes clearer to me whyIn the chronicles of the Chechen war, it is so difficult to meet BMDs and almost unrealistic BMP-3s - the cars were simply saved for more “serious” cases, leaving the soldiers with thin “kopeck pieces” made of steel with 9 mm sides - women still give birth ... well, you understand.
Only one episode with the BMP-3, which the Kemerovo brigade had in 1995, is reliably known, if you suddenly have more examples from those times, write in the comments.
But the purchase of new B-19 combat vehicles with the Epoch module (on the BMP-3 chassis), which debuted at last year's exercises, will cost the treasury167 million per copyWell, it's not far from the tank.Speaking of tanks...

Tanks
Newer light armored vehicles have not yet been found. Well, we will monitor prices for it and publish them later. In general, the prices for the old familiar equipment are impressive. How much do tanks cost then?
Let's start withT-72, the reliability and support of our tank forces. Most of them were produced in the USSR in the latest modification of the T-72B.T-72B3- the most massive of Russian modernizations, which reached the standards “about T-90”. And this is especially noticeable in the T-72 B3 series of the 2016 model, because they already have dynamic protectionRelic, dieselV-92S2F1130 horses, an improved gun stabilizer and a new generation of surveillance equipment.
In 2016 prices, just replacing dynamic protection and installing a new engine (+ minor modifications such as improved tracks) on an existing tank cost16.6 million rubles per tank.
In total, the upgrade to the T-72B3 took place in three waves - 2011, 2014 and 2016. In 2013, modernization cost 22 million rubles, and on top of that 30 million for the overhaul of the tank itself. Total -52 million rubles. For more information on what timea full update was managed later, not in open sources. There are 1380 such modernized vehicles in the army today, so you can roughly imagine the amount that it cost.

And whatT-90and its versions? There is more information here, but more about export prices. Most modernT-90M Proryvcosts, on average,300-330 million rubles. But here the margin is higher, and the amount depends heavily on the volume of supplies and how long the cooperation is, in short, business.
It is known that for 2011-2013T-90A Vladimircost his own army approximately118 million rubles per unit.In a divine way, of course, but it is obvious that today the situation is different. Since there are no more accurate data, I think that the amount within the range will be close to the truth.200-250 million.

But prices for a more interesting specimen - a tank - are becoming more intelligible and clearerT-14 Armata. This machine already belongs to the new generation,so the prices are right. T-14 is not just pumping all the main elements a step forward, a lot of things were used in this car for the first time. Just evaluate the scale of new, as gadgetomaniacs say, features:
• New engineA-85-3A in 1350 horsepower. This is no longer an obscenely bored V-2 from the T-34, barely giving out 1130 hp. s., which was installed even on the newest T-90M.
•Active protection complex Afghanit. The old Arena system never made it tosome series, so the modern T-90M, unlike the Almaty, was left without this type of protection, which all decent countries already have analogues. The Afganit does not act by launching an anti-missile to a projectile / missile that threatens the tank, but turns the turret towards the ATGM so that the blow hits the most protected part and you can immediately hit the enemy with a return shot.
•Active phased array antenna— a radar that tracks up to 40 ground and 25 air targets within a radius of up to 100 km.
•2A82- new launcher cannon, very expandingthe amount of usable ammunition (it can be loaded with a projectile up to 1 meter long) with a rate of fire of up to 12 rounds per minute. The destruction range has been increased to 7000 meters.
•stealth- yes, you heard right. The complex of stealth means involves an exhaust cooling system, thermal insulation, an abundance of body edges (reduces radio signature) and radio-absorbing elements.
T-14 Armata
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. In 2015, when the T-14 began to be demonstrated, the vehicle was estimated at250 million rubles. Last year, other figures were announced, withtaking into account improvements over 6 years of testing, as well as difficulties in the introduction of new radio-electronic elements by Russian industry (let me remind you, we are cut off from imports). As a result, the price rose to… my mother is a woman510-520 million rubles($7 million)! Well, let’s not forget about the realities of the ruble exchange rate right now and inflation since these prices were announced.
Thus, we can assume that the price of new T-90s being produced will double.
And if T-14s are planned to be purchased very carefully for now (a tank, frankly, is very expensive in order to flood all directions in the war with it), then T-90Ms are planned to be purchased at 200 units per year.
Here are the results of the numbers. If you have something to supplement the information in the article, we will be glad, welcome to the comments.
