Written off BMP Marder will turn into tanks

115
Until 2020, the Bundeswehr will receive 350 new Puma infantry fighting vehicles, which will replace the outdated Marder armored vehicles. In order not to dispose of decommissioned infantry fighting vehicles, Rheinmetall will create medium-sized vehicles based on them. Tanks, Said MIC with reference to military-today.com.





The presentation of such a tank took place at the Indo Defense 2016 exhibition in Indonesia.

“Marder belongs to the class of medium tanks (the weight of the machine is 43 t) and is equipped with a stabilized 105-mm rifled gun made by the Italian company OTO Melara. The gun has an effective range of 3000 m and is compatible with NATO 105-mm ammunition. The crew consists of four people: the commander, the gunner, the driver and the loader (the tank is not equipped with an automatic loader), ”the publication says.

Written off BMP Marder will turn into tanks


When transforming an infantry fighting vehicle into a tank, the developers equipped it with additional armor that “withstands the hit of armor-piercing bullets of caliber 14,5 mm into the sides, as well as the explosion of an eight-kilogram bomb, under the bottom”.

It is reported that the tank is installed diesel MTU MB 883 power 680 l. with. and automatic transmission. The maximum speed of the vehicle is 65 km / h, the distance traveled without refueling is 500 km. Case length - 6,9 m, width - 3,6 m, height - 3 m.

    Probably difficult in Germany with a budget for military spending.
    equipped it with additional armor, which “withstands hit of armor-piercing bullets 14,5 mm caliber on board

    So what kind of tank is it if the side armor holds only a heavy machine gun?

      So this means that our infantry fighting vehicles, up to promising ones, will not be able to hit on board without ATGMs. So the western MBT armor is not much thicker than the 4 lvl STANAG.

        I don’t understand, the 30mm shell will not penetrate armor designed to protect against 14,5 mm? Have you smoked? And the 100mm gun was already dismantled with the BMP?

          Because our 30-mm shells are much worse in design even than the 12,7-mm BS-41, and therefore penetration is poor - prehistoric steel bars. 100-mmka is only on the BMP-3, and this is a rare car and it does not have development.

            Well, firstly, about the 30mm shell, you probably do not know at all, but oh well. You said that:
            Our infantry fighting vehicles, up to promising ones, will not be able to hit on board without ATGMs.

            It turns out that we are armed with no BMP3? Or is he more promising than promising?
            Just to let me know, are you aware that the gun on the BMP-2 may not have changed, but are the shells different now, newer? Or didn’t you know that?

              We have too few BMN-3 - only about 500, some of which are clearly in storage.
              Among armor-piercing shells for 2A42 and 2A72 there are only BISON-6 and BISON-8. EVERYTHING! There are no new armor-piercing ones. ZUBR10 is distinguished only by a leading belt to reduce barrel wear. There was no uranium BOPS, and no.

        Our main BMP-2s, BMP-3s, and promising Kurganets-25s and T-15s are armed with a 30mm 2A42 cannon (2A72 for BMP-3), in addition to BMP-3, this is not a weak argument of 100mm 2A70 caliber, which makes it a very dangerous thing. I’m not talking about the Armata platform because of its modularity. Maybe there if necessary something else will be put in the BMP.
        But with the reservation, our main current BMPs lose this yes. But you can hang additional protection on the other hand. Yes, the Marder A3 is upset to resist in the frontal projection 2A42, but the flank is already alas.
        Oh yes, BMP-3 and above carry ATGMs with them in ammunition.

              Show me uranium or, at worst, tungsten BOPS under 2A42 and 2A72. So IS-2 could hold the American Bushmeister. Marder was made for protection against KPVT, and taking into account a large reserve of protection for 4 level STANAG, protection against KPVT began to be equal to protection against 2A42.

                  BISON-8 - steel BPS (not BOPS!) And armor penetration of all at 10-20% at medium combat distances. For comparison, the German MK-30 has a breakdown of 10 times higher.

                      ZUBR-8 is Kerner. The difference in armor penetration is about 5%. Plus they use medium hardness armor - the drop in strength is not so high.
                      Those. 15 and 150 mm breakdown is the same? Well, then ZiS-2 with its 115 mm of maximum breakdown can sew any MBT into the forehead.

                        Let's not believe in fairy tales about 150mm broken armor 30mm bullet. This is unscientific science fiction))) I’ll tell you that even cumulative ammunition in the 30mm form factor will not be able to penetrate the 150mm armored steel - this is physically impossible. But for advertising and for deceiving amateurs such as you, you can take mild steel, which is not bulletproof at all, do not temper it and shoot at it with modern 30mm sub-calibers - hence the fantastic 150mm penetrations arise.

                  Not in this case. So the armor penetration of the 122-mmgo BR-471 is higher than the 25-mmgo M791, but this does not mean that the BR-471 is more perfect than the M791.

                      According to the normal, the breakdown at 1 km for the ZUBR-8 is about 40 mm. At a point-blank range - about 60 mm, i.e. right on the edge of the 4 protection of the STANAG level. Plus, this BPS is rare, not regular.

      The 80's Marder was capable of penetrating the armor of our infantry fighting vehicles from a distance of 2 km. We could only "extinguish" it from 600 meters. "There was not even a frontal projection of Marder in the course of firing, only the side ones. Apparently during the design, using our experience with the modernization of the T-34, they planned in advance to convert it into a tank by attaching additional armor. Well, the 105 mm cannon is the one that was on the Leopard. Fabulous accuracy And the ability, when firing a blank, to tear down the towers on a successful hit. So the "Marten" turned into a "Tiger".

    Thrifty guys. A tank with bulletproof armor is something well forgotten. And 30 millimeter paper in the side? Leopards, therefore, cannot be mastered on the budget? Such modernization to me "Hummeli" reminds me of the Second World War. The Wasp was dangerous, it stung painfully, but it was diligently blinded from Czech pre-war tanks. Also, it did not differ in armor protection.

        The Americans had an analogue of Stuart, who fought beautifully, then Chuffy also appeared by the 45th. The Germans in the 41st half of the tanks were light. Finns have successfully used our trophies. So we just misused the tanks we had. The Germans have never criticized our weapons. The whole question is the unpreparedness of our crews and the illiteracy of command.

    Only such modernization will be expensive, but the point with it is like a goat's milk. This tank is the machine of the second line of fire, or third. It’s just a heavy backup with all the flaws inherent in this class of cars, such, first of all, as weak armor protection. And, a new gun this machine will swing during the shots seriously, it will be difficult to fire from it in motion, but only from a place.

    ----------------------------
    In appearance (outwardly), German panzer-builders created Panther-2, a kind of remake. In principle, any tank can be killed by an ATGM. In Syria, the "full-fledged" and "invincible" Abrams M1A2 tank burns quite well if you hit it from an ambush. In general, this is purely marketing bullshit, for the jungle and the mountains, the very thing is because it is light, there the "chizhol" stupidly gets stuck or well ... it crashes.

    Let's not believe in fairy tales about 150mm broken armor 30mm bullet. This is unscientific science fiction))) I’ll tell you that even cumulative ammunition in the 30mm form factor will not be able to penetrate the 150mm armored steel - this is physically impossible. But for advertising and for deceiving amateurs such as you, you can take mild steel, which is not bulletproof at all, do not temper it and shoot at it with modern 30mm sub-calibers - hence the fantastic 150mm penetrations arise.

    The cumulative penetration rate is inferior to the kinetic projectile. And armor penetration is quite achievable - did the Germans use tungsten in the 40 for the 30 mm cannon to get about 100 mm penetration, but now they can’t improve the result by 50%? So penetration for such a caliber can still be raised - the good example of tank BOPS in sight.
