08/02/12 "BLACK EAGLE" 2. ON THE IMAGES OF THE NEW ARMORED VEHICLES PROVIDED ROGOZIN
August 2 2012.
Odnako.org , August 1, Alexander Gorbenko. In the Permian television story about the visit, Dmitry Rogozin, "Motovilikha plants" in the frame got new armor models, which previously has not been demonstrated to the public.
First, this is a new reincarnation of the Omsk object "640", better known as the "Black Eagle". Changes compared to previous versions of this and the remaining prospective main battle tank (MBT) was enough to rename it to "combat artillery car." It is evident that part of the insulating housing has increased the size of guns and armor made faceted and that should reduce the visibility in the range of radio waves and, apparently, the thermal signature of the hot barrel during firing.
Attention is drawn to the additional armament - from one side of the gun - Multiple system to another - something resembling AGS-57. Viewing tower on either side of the gun even more reduced angles reservations have become more acute. Ammunition is still available in the rear recess, although its size is reduced and the automatic loader moved into the crew compartment. Above the radar gun ballistic station, allowing the use of new types of high precision munitions.
We can say that Omsk designers did a good job on the bugs. But in general - is a further development of the "Black Eagle". Interestingly, despite the adoption of a new MBT Ural "Armata", work on improving the older machines are not Omsk were dismantled and the original name of the machine allows you to think about her future, along with the Ural MBT.
Virtually no new versions of ACS can be seen - one on the track platform, the other on the basis of wheel machine. A pity, because the chief designer of "MZ" Rogozin said that creates "a fundamentally new types of artillery, which by their performance characteristics, the effectiveness of 2 - 2.5 times greater than and domestic, and the best foreign models." We see only that it is not a prototype double-barreled self-propelled guns, which CRI "Petrel" previously demonstrated as a prototype of the "Coalition-SV".
Models of self-propelled mortars are made on three platforms: a wheeled armored vehicle developed under the R & D "Boomerang", a wheeled armored car "Typhoon" and on the basis of all terrain vehicle "Tiger." Recharge and guidance are likely to largely automated, but on a platform of "Typhoon", even a desert fighting compartment.
On the platform of "Boomerang" and "Kurgan-25" shown the options of a new armed 57-mm automatic cannon. High detail on the layout of towers, says that this weapon has a high degree of readiness. Also next to the "battle of artillery machine," presented version of the "Kurgan" with 45-mm automatic gun with telescopic ammunition. Previously it was thought that the gun is in the initial stage of development. One of these weapons systems will be equipped with "Armata" in the form of heavy infantry fighting vehicles.
Hard to say, as demonstrated on the basis of "Kurgan" with the gun turret in the desert - a light tank or lightweight self-propelled guns. Dimensions and size of guns, the presence of a small recoil device, they say that it is rather a self-propelled guns. The design of the combat unit is more suitable for the tank.
Dmitry Rogozin submitted samples are encouraging, not only as an extra demonstration of progress in creating a new armor. Even if not all of them eventually get to the troops - our defense industry is still able to simultaneously create multiple versions of similar armor. Competing development ultimately leads to quality. A different solution to a problem - it is always for the future.
