Raketni tenk IT-1 – Photos & Video

Čaj IT-1 (ruski: Истребитель танков–1 – 'Istrebitel tankov–1', lit. 'razarač tenkova-1′) bio je sovjetski hladnoratovski raketni tenk baziran na trupu T-62. Tenk je ispaljivao specijalno dizajnirane rakete 3M7 Drakon iz pop-up lansera. Videla je veoma ograničenu uslugu između 1968. i 1970. godine. Velika mrtva zona oko tenka stvorena minimalnim dometom raketa u kombinaciji sa ograničenom količinom municije koja se nosi učinila ga je nepopularnim u vojsci. Takođe, 520 kg opreme za navođenje potrebne za raketu bilo je nepraktično. Na kraju, tenkovi su pretvoreni u vozila za oporavak. Turbina povered verzija je takođe razvijen pod nazivom IT-1T.

Čaj Raketni tenk IT-1 was a Soviet tank destroyer that was designed and built in the 1960s. It was based on the T-62 chassis and armed with a single 3M7 Drakon missile launcher. The IT-1 could fire anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) at a range of up to 3 km, and had a secondary machine gun for close defense. The IT-1 was intended to provide long-range fire support for tank units, and to engage enemy tanks from a safe distance. However, the IT-1 had several drawbacks that limited its effectiveness and service life.
Čaj missile launcher had a long reload time and required the tank to expose its turret to fire. The missiles were vulnerable to electronic countermeasures and had poor accuracy in bad weather conditions. The IT-1 also had a low ammunition capacity of only 15 missiles, and a high cost of maintenance and operation. The IT-1 was produced in small numbers from 1968 to 1970, and was withdrawn from service by the late 1970s. It was replaced by more conventional tank destroyers such as the SU-100P and the BMP-1.
