Richard Farrant Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Looks like he had no low gears. A wonder the transporter did not have a winch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draganm Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm no expert but that trailer doesn't look like it was designed to hold the 2S3 Akatsiya which is over 10 feet wide. They must have been desperate to try and load it with 1/2 a track hanging off each side of the trailer. That's less than 9 inch room for error per side before you tumble off. The trailer is more likely for 2S9 artillery based on the BMD-1 chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeePig Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 So, we could define a tank as a vehicle that is designed to go anywhere with ease, except onto a trailer. Does this make a trailer the best defence there is against a tank? trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbrook Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 OK this was a bit extreme but the No1 did the right thing (at first) by chucking it back off when it did not go on straight first time (rather than attempting to manoeuvre on the trailer bed). I think the load had a fault but even so it was a bit scary. Interestingly given, as some have said, the abilities of your average tank the only way you could get a Chieftain up onto a 50t trailer was flat out in lowest gear and that meant that sometimes they would come on with a bit of a bang. Plus they overhung each side. God help you if you were anywhere near the back end of the tank as the exhaust noise was excruciatingly painful as it revved to the max.

datadawg Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Step 1: drink few shots ov vodka vid de comrads. Step 2: go for draiv in tank Step 3: see trailer, think of vooman next door name Nadya. Step 4: mount trailer like mount Nadya, poke first, think last. Step 5: fall off trailer, hit head, must have more vodka for headache.

eddy8men Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I got to drive a 2s3 after the gulf war and was quite impressed, loads of power and good maneuverability they also thoughtfully put the operating instructions in English. however it doesn't seem to have done any good for that fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm picking a distinct anti-Russian flare to this forum :-D I got to drive a 2s3 after the gulf war and was quite impressed, loads of power and good maneuverability they also thoughtfully put the operating instructions in English. however it doesn't seem to have done any good for that fella English instructions is rather odd isnt it? I can see Chinese or Arabic but English? What western country did they think would buy those? any chance that driver walked away from that roll-over? Seems like the insides of AFV's are dangerous under the best of circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW200 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Basicly, any Soviet vehicle meant for non-eastbloc export had English on pretty much everything. Including the radios etc.. So all arabic nations got English writing on Soviet vehicles.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
