Installation of the Berekhok fighting compartment will increase the effectiveness of Russian BMP-2 threefold

Currently, work is underway to increase the firepower and command control of the BMP-2 with the installation of the Berehok military compartment on it, reports Messenger of Mordovia.

Installation of the Berekhok fighting compartment will increase the effectiveness of Russian BMP-2 threefold




“After entering“ Berezhka ”into service, the combat effectiveness of the BMP-2 compared to the long-obsolete base variant will increase 3,2 times. According to many characteristics, the upgraded infantry fighting vehicles will approach the best world models, and by some characteristics they will surpass them, ”writes the author Dmitry Lemeshko.



BMPs will receive "modern fire control systems consisting of a combined gunner's sight with a thermal imaging channel, which will allow them to operate effectively at night," he notes. There is a laser range finder and a digital ballistic computer with a sensor system. Thanks to the panoramic sight, the commander will be able to duplicate the work of the gunner. A similar sighting system is available in the newest BMD-4M.



“The modern anti-tank complex Kornet is capable at long ranges (up to 8000 m) to penetrate multilayer armor, which is equivalent to 1300 mm steel, behind dynamic protection. A good 30-2 42 cannon and a PKT machine gun will be a good aid to the AG-30 automatic 17-mm grenade launcher with an ammunition load up to 300 grenade, which is located on the back of the tower.

The author notes that more than 300 BMP-2 with the module "Berezhok" has been operated for a long time in the Algerian army, where they have proven themselves from the best side.

      Our army needs vehicles of the Kurganets generation

      Our army needs modern machines in the proper quantity. How long will it take to properly fill the troops with Kurganets, especially since this vehicle still has to go through a very painful stage of "treating childhood illnesses." So, the upgraded and standardized BMP-1 and BMP-2 will not be superfluous. Moreover, tank repair enterprises will be involved in this work ...

So that then such "rearmament races", which we are now witnessing, do not produce. So, as the level of modern weapons, and this is modernized, should not fall below 60% of the total.

            Why ? In terms of most parameters, the B3M modification is in no way inferior to NATO tanks, and even surpasses some in protection. The new gun from the T-90A, the 1130 hp engine, the modern fire control system, DZ "Contact-5" or "Relic" take the vehicle to a new level, although its layout has remained the same.

      And what to do with the fleet that we have? Total production: about 15000 pcs. all modifications of the BMP-2. Of these, two thousand went for export, by force ...
      As for this modification, there is an interesting moment-
      Russian modification of the BMP-2 "Berezhok". An additional panoramic sight is installed. The location of the AGS-17 was changed, 4 ATGM launchers "Kornet" were installed. In 2005, a contract was signed with Algeria for the modification of 300 vehicles to the level of BMP-2M

      Kurganets will replace the outdated BTR-80, primarily in terms of booking, but wheeled vehicles will never be able to replace the BMP, and the BTR and BMP have different tasks. The armored personnel carrier is the patrolling and delivery of infantry to the battlefield, and the BMP is the delivery of the infantry to the battlefield and its fire support, actions in conjunction with tanks. For an armored personnel carrier, `` Berezhok '' is quite suitable, but for an armored personnel carrier, more serious weapons are needed, for example, `` Bakhcha ''

Our army and such machines come in handy! If each will have ammunition of 8 Cornet missiles, then the armored group of a motorized rifle company is a ready-made anti-tank reserve of the regiment, and when occupying an advantageous position, it is also a means of fighting anti-tank helicopters of the enemy at the moment of their reaching the firing lines.

      An anti-tank battery, among other things, 4 KNP deploys from which it is possible to control artillery fire from a PDO. The armored group of a motorized rifle company does not have such capabilities. As there is no way to tear the company and three platoons from the main task to manage such a reserve in battle.

        The "armor" of the platoon is commanded by the Zamkomzvoda. The armor of a company armored group can command a company castle. The company commander should "twist" the company, and not run back and forth plugging holes in the control. In addition, the battalion has a captain - an assistant battalion commander for artillery, who manages the affairs of the anti-tank platoon, minbatr, the fire of the assigned armored group, and, by decision of the battalion commander, calls the fire of the regimental artillery group and the supporting art battalion.

            Somehow you do not understand everything that way .... a reserve is provided for in the decision of the committee. Regiment reconnaissance reserve (with the simultaneous death of reconnaissance for various reasons) - a motorized rifle company. By the way, they are preparing for this in advance. And people are specially selected there. The anti-tank division of a two-three-battery regiment can also suffer losses during a sudden fire attack and as a result of an air strike. It can also be replaced by one of the units (armored group of a company of a battalion of the 2nd echelon). This is also the decision of the regiment commander. Or maybe the commander will simply take their platoon from the combatants and create a battery based on them. The situation will tell the commander a solution. That's why he is the commander. Maneuver forces and means his work.

            The German Puma with its 50mm VLD does not have anti-cannon armor. Only when installing an additional remote sensing device, and I still don't have one. In any case, they don't write about her. With additional booking, the Puma weighs more than 40 tons - an obvious overload for the chassis (without additional booking it weighs 30 tons). A weight gain of 30% does not pass without leaving a trace.

            The Israeli Namer also cannot withstand being hit by RPGs or tank BPs. VLD does not have anti-tank weapons in his possession. And the board even more so. The only hope is for KAZ.

            Nothing is known about the T-15 yet. She has an internal combustion engine in front, which means VLD is also significantly weakened. Once again, hope for DZ and KAZ.

            The only unconditional plus of 40-ton BMPs is relatively good protection against close gaps of 152-155mm OFSs.

              "Puma" has hinged AMAP modules made of armored ceramics and KAZ, "Namer" in terms of protection corresponds to the "Merkava Mk.4" tank, and the T-15 has armor made of a new alloy, DZ "Malachite" and KAZ "Afganit".

                Did I miss something and the armored ceramic tile became protection against RPGs, ATGMs and tank BP? )) From a couple of hits of 30-40 mm, it will protect, but no more.

                Merkava 4's passive defense is very mediocre. Only the front tower is less protected. Merkava's VLD is worse than that of the T-72. NLD at Merkava occupies 50% of the frontal projection and hardly reaches the 80mm armor. The only real defense is KAZ.

                The T-15 has a front engine. So VLD of this tank physically cannot be more powerful than VLD of the same T80. But in fact, the upper frontal plate of the T-15 is 100% worse than the T-80. And significantly. The main defense of the T-15 is DZ and KAZ.

                  German armor AMAP is not only ceramics, but also KAZ. The defeat of the tank in the NLD in off-road conditions is a great success for calculating the ATGM. There is no exact data on the thickness and composition of the T-15 armor in the public domain, but this armor is definitely better than the T-80U and even the T-90A. Another thing, the survivability of an engine with a transmission when hit by a machine with a high-explosive shell may be in question.

                    You said that the Puma has anti-cannon armor. And I'm telling you that a standard 50mm steel armor plate (or what does it have there?), Even with a load of ceramic plates on top, is not an obstacle even for RPGs of the 1980s. What can we say about ATGM and tank ammunition. "Puma" in front will be able to protect against several hits of 30mm shells (possibly 40mm), but not more. This is about passive armor.

                    The fact is that NLD at Merkava occupies 50% of the projection area. And, for example, the T-72 only 33% (1/3 of the area). And despite the fact that Merkava itself is huge - you can compare its projection with the projection of Soviet tanks on a scale. Very revealing. You will see that its NLD is already at the level of the VLD of Soviet tanks.

                    I personally do not believe in miracles. Elementary logic says that if the engine is in front, then the engineers will not be able to stick a thick VLD with it - the weight distribution of the car will suffer greatly. Merkava suffers from the same. The main defense of the T-15 is the dynamic protection in the form of a "pike nose" in front and KAZ. And the VLD itself, I think, protects against 40-50-70mm shells, no more. The T-15 cannot have a better VLD than the T80 and T90. Physics does not allow. T80 and T90 have thick VLD 250mm thick with fillers. It is impossible to organize such protection on the T-15 due to the front engine.

                    A powerful 152mm or 155mm OFS will damage any machine with a close hit, not to mention a direct hit.

      Well, there were such times before. For his army - there was no money. Now we have realized. Yes, and earned extra money on international contracts ...

    Someone is lobbying for the modernization of this "cardboard", which even makes its way from a 12,7 mm machine gun. It is necessary to test the newest BMP Kurganets-25 faster, which in the future will replace the main part of the BMP-1/2/3, and not spend money on scrap metal.

      There are not only partisan wars. Who gets who faster? You with a 12,7 mm machine gun, or I you with a "Cornet". The main purpose of the Russian Army's BTVT is a full-scale war, and in this case, the modernized 2ka is not a bad fire reinforcement for motorized riflemen. I agree that "Kurganets" is "exactly what we need", but until we complete them, more than one year will pass and we will spend more than one lard denyuzhek. And this is a transitional and temporary solution. But they don't seem to have much money either.

      Without emotion ....... we calculate the combat effectiveness. BMP -1 In defense, the Thunder cannon has a combat efficiency coefficient of 0,5 for a tank using ATGMs for a tank, let 1 (at least one out of four hit) total - one and a half tanks. BMP-2 is more effective at using ATGMs, it doesn’t have anti-tank guns, but it has the ability to destroy combat helicopters. Now, with the installation of the Kornet complexes, the BMP -2 efficiency factor will be equal to the number of missiles in the ammunition. Moreover, the machine itself may be in the depths of the defense of the mouth of the first and second echelon.

      Well, it's all solvable. There are NII Steel developed dynamic protection modules with dampers, especially for installation on light vehicles like BMP-3. They not only from cumulative, but also enhance protection from kinetics

      The result of the hit of a PG-9V grenade on board the BMP-2, protected by a missile defense with an EDZ 4S24. There is no penetration. Only 1 block failed., 2004
      On the BMP-3, the installation of such a kit increases protection up to protection from 30-mm shells.

    To date, the BMP-2 is an armored personnel carrier. Does not hold anything from PT funds. Hanging such an expensive module on it without a sharp increase in security is a waste of money.
    And if you hang extra protection, it's weight. Accordingly, suspension enhancement and engine replacement. And what will it all be attached to? In fact, to the body with bulletproof armor.

        You can make the fence fly. But is it necessary?
        From the BMP-2 there will be only a bare body. It’s easier to remake them into TZM, transporters, or something else.

    In 2011, the company, in agreement with the Ministry of Defense of Russia and with the help of Russian enterprises, manufactured and tested armored personnel carriers with ceramic armor. The basis was taken BRDM-3, the allocated Ministry of Defense.
    The tests were more successful than expected. With a design resistance from 14,5-mm B-32 bullets from a range of 200 m, on board projections, resistance to 10 m was obtained.

      What I have always infuriated in the Russian defense industry is inertia. In the USA, an improvement immediately enters the troops very quickly. In Russia, in the best case, for many years, several units enter the army, and most often all ends with tests. After all, it’s stranger to change the German premium segment for officials every 3 years than to modernize during the army.

                  This is your way. But in reality, there is an index for each modification of the US equipment, and this modification comes precisely with those SLAs and devices that were installed initially during its design. New NVDs and thermal imagers - this is another modification and a different index in the name. Everything is simple. Military appliances become obsolete more slowly than civilian ones.
                  For example, the Soviet army’s laser tank rangemeter will give odds even to a modern civilian electron-optical laser total station.

    This is not bad, but it would be better to install towers with weapons from BMP-3 and BMD-4M on them. So it would be easier to maintain, and the twin 100mm and 30mm cannons with good aiming angles have proven themselves well in battles in the Caucasus ... `` Berezhok '' is a lighter system, more suitable for armored personnel carriers, and not for infantry fighting vehicles.

      Installation of "Bakhchi-U" on the BMP-2 is a cut of the BMP body itself. It will be much more expensive. Price is paramount in these upgrades. In fact, it is necessary to quickly bring 2000 BMP-2 to a more or less modern level, this must be done as quickly and cheaply as possible. "Berezhok" allows you to do this. Anyway, the BMP-2 is a complete story. In theory, within 10-15 years it should be massively withdrawn from the army with simultaneous replacement with new armored vehicles.

    They are doing everything right. While the Kurganets goes to the troops, it is necessary to modernize the BMP-2, because there are a lot of them in the troops, and by increasing their combat power, you can calmly and without haste saturate the army with the latest developments. New equipment cannot appear in the troops at once and in full; there will be a gradual rearmament.

    In the RF Army, according to the "wiki", there are 4500 BMP-2 (of which 1500 are in storage), 7500 BMP-1 (of which 7000 are in storage), 600 BMP-3, so we can say that the main BMP in the current Russian army is the BMP-2, respectively, if all the BMP-2 are modernized within the framework of the subject of the article, then equipping the RF Army with new / modernized infantry fighting vehicles at the level of 70% of the bulk of the BMP by 2020 can only be achieved by disposing of the BMP-1, if there are mathematicians on the site, calculate how much BMP-1 must be disposed of so that the corresponding percentage of new / modernized equipment is 70% according to the rearmament program, provided:
    Option A: that the BMP-3 promise to bring up to 2020 units by 1, and upgrade 000 units. BMP-3000 (according to the most optimistic forecasts, I believe that BMP-2 will not be upgraded at the warehouse) ......
    Option B: that all BMP-3 and BMP-2 (1000 + 4500) will be presented to the military-political leadership of the country as "new" machines, and the remaining 30% (?) Are old ...
    Accordingly, logically, in order to preserve as many BMPs as possible in the NE RF (including those located in warehouses), we need a modernization program and BMP-1, but it is better to combine it (if it is technically possible and if such modernization is cost-effective) with the program modernization of the BMP-2.
