Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has introduced a new armored personnel carrier for the rapid deployment brigade

Japan plans to create a rapid deployment brigade to protect remote islands, and many manufacturers are ready to offer it new weapons. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has introduced a new generation of amphibious tracked carrier, reports "Warspot" with reference to janes.com portal

Scale model amphibious armored personnel carrier from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries

The car was presented at the exhibition MAST Asia 2017, held these days in Tokyo. The new development has not yet received an official name and was presented in the form of a large-scale model. The company Mitsubishi Heavy Industries indicate that the armored personnel carrier is being developed for the needs of the Japanese ground forces - in particular, the special units of rapid deployment.
The developers claim that the amphibian has already been created in the form of a demonstrator and has successfully passed factory tests. To create an armored personnel carrier in Mitsubishi Heavy Industries used exclusively their own development - the chassis, jet propulsion, engine, body and other elements.

A prototype Japanese amphibious armored personnel carrier on the tests 2015 year

For the first time, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries developed an amphibious armored personnel carrier in the 2015 year. Then, on the territory of one of the Mitsubishi plants, a prototype combat vehicle was tested, and it was stated that it could reach speeds above 20 nodes (about 40 km / h), which is three times more than the American amphibian AAV7. The developers claim that the car holds up to 15 people, but this figure can be adjusted at the request of the Ministry of Defense of Japan, other data at the moment, the company has not provided

The layout even has a spoiler. No way to prepare for the race.

[Solomon Kane]

But the body kit is "liquid" and there are no shiny kenguryatniks ...

[Vladimir16]

Given the growth of narrow-eyed, two-story transport cook up.

Very similar to the rear window deflector, I wonder if he has it?

[nik-karata]

It seems to me that he reminds IRON KAPUT

They’ll probably put nitra ... and they’ll know how to drift

[bouncyhunter]

From ATGM will not dodge, only if it dives under water.

[Solomon Kane]

And they will fight with the Chinese glider-like Betr in tandem. One pulls the other and both shoot ...... nowhere. And infantry in diving suits ...

[kg pv]

Aga will dive and change its original purpose, will become the basis for artificial islands.

Given that neither on the model nor on the prototype the snorkel is not visible - incidentally, there is also a mass grave of infantry on board.

[Svarog51]

Pash, maybe they crammed VNEU into this car? Then they can crawl along the bottom to the shore.

The target is good .... You definitely won’t miss the RPG ... I think that one bad RPG is enough for everyone who will be there ... Our armored personnel carriers and BMDuhi somehow even seemingly more solid .....

[Orionvit]

Track shed, Russians invented more than a hundred years ago. Only then, it was a breakthrough in design thought. Now, looking at this product of Japanese engineers, you understand that the Japanese have a crisis of the genre. Frank plagiarism. Only ours, also with a gun was.

[kg pv]

The sea container was put on the tracks.

[rruvim]

And the "green" little men in addition ...

An interesting armored train. How is it in Japanese. Netonosho?

Ju. before and after as much as you like. Axes to catch, we were taught this. Auto drive. This is for the zhon and sisters. Really scared. After how drowned the uncle's motorcycle

[Banishing liberoids]

The target for the PTRK is that high!

[rruvim]

In general, the Japanese can not be underestimated. A familiar Chinese historian told me that the Chinese, those who are in the "course", are sincerely convinced that their great-great-great-grandparent ... made the Japanese like robots. But they freaked out, they had to be sent to a desert island. About the same story as with the Prague Golem. The Chinese then suffered a lot in the 40s, until the Americans and our troops drove them back to the Island.

This Sinologist, incidentally not a crest? Painfully similar stories.

[Solomon Kane]

With the surname Akomuto Hirovato

[rruvim]

The name of the Sinologist is Karpenko.

[seos]

That's just the island was inhabited ... it turns out the Chinese admitted to the destruction of the Ainu ..

[rruvim]

Not admitted. Like Europeans in destroying Indians. And Ainov is really sorry, but at least they conveyed Shinto's ideas to the Robots. How many amers died because of these ideas ...

[Retvizan 8]

What kind of "tomb"? A floating wagon from an armored train?

[Incvizitor]

Scary angular and huge. It reminded me of something ancient, like this.

[Retvizan 8]

Where are the Japanese monsters on this dope machine going to swim?

[Svarog51]

Eugene, When they lock them up, they will need all the watercraft, right down to the jacuzzi. Poke holes just to not forget.

[sabakina]

If the scale of the armored personnel carrier and the man are correct, it will be at least 3 meters high. But why did he need a "wing"? No, I understand that the forces of rapid deployment, but not so fast as to move at the speed of a Formula 1 car ....

[bald]

An interesting box. The competitor of our (civilian) 30-ton “Dawn” in speed (ours is up to 45 km / h. If you sharpen the bow, we will have to wipe our own!

[Retvizan 8]

That would be on this device with the "Rapier" gasp!

[Mwg]

Through and through))))

[Doliva63]

Something it all starts to remind me by the appearance of the PMV tanks

[Svarog51]

Right, Valentine! Embed the howitzer on the nose, sharpen us and spilled "Saint-Chamonix"

[Forester]

Herash the size! Is it a lope then? Meters under 3? And his buoyancy due to what will be achieved? ETOGES is not a barge! Or will he dive on the handrails? No, of course I know that the amer’s in Korean even worked out something similar, but they quickly got off the topic, too noticeable. The result is "the larger the cabinet, the louder it falls"

[Großer feldherr]

The Japanese equivalent of the American EFV. Completely modern cars.

[Igor V]

Spoiler, you see, made of foam, it provides buoyancy. And the landing, probably with scuba gear. And also cruise control, climate control and a large computer for star orientation. Japan, after all.

[113262a]

I understand that this is something on hydrofoil! Looks like this is not a spoiler! For walking on the Kuril Islands sharpened!

Do you want to say that he will move caterpillars up through the water?

[bk316]

No, it’s a submarine, it’s not a wing, but steering wheels.
And in front is a folding ramp along which tiny wedges will creep out from under the water. Wedge heels, respectively, the growth of yapes of centimeters by 70 - you’ll get horseradish (or you’ve gotten unclear here about the tank) So this is not an armored personnel carrier, but an underwater armored personnel carrier.

[smart ass]

In vain did you Mitsubishi in the WWII year made 70% of the tanks for the imperial army (the truth was the tanks were so-so) well, or remember the famous Zero not bad because Americans pounded over the Pacific Ocean ... in general, the company has good roots, stuffing more or less though I say of courseooo)) )

[Svarog51]

Basil, You mean this Mitsubishi floating product?

[smart ass]

They made a tank and Yamato turned out

[Svarog51]

But you must admit, at that time, this machine was carrying out its task. Our PT-76 also worked in many places. And the line of these cars is not dead. Octopus-SD is their continuation. Here are both in the photo.


I will not remind about the forcing of large rivers in the Great Patriotic War, they were sorely lacking.

[Mwg]

Looks like a turbojet - the aft spoiler is installed to feed the asphalt at speeds above 250 km / h. did not tear))))

[WUA 518]

Something reminded. The Expeditionary Combat Vehicle (EFV) was developed as an amphibious assault landing vehicle for the United States Marine, designed to replace the AAV used since 1972. The EFV combat vehicle was supposed to compete in mobility and maneuverability for the Abrams M1 main tank, and at the same time fight on land and at sea as the main means of landing. According to expectations, the program was supposed to cost about $ 15 billion, but was closed in 2011 by Secretary of Defense R. Gates at the request of the Marine Corps to extend the life of MPC and ACV vehicles. Due to the increased cost, the EFV order had to be reduced from 1013 to 573 units, and then the program was closed at a total cost of $ 3 billion.

[113262a]

Interesting, but a little expensive!

[Shurik70]

Well, not what to yourself ...
Where did the Japanese fight at any of these whoppers with an adversary who has something bigger than a machine gun?
The criterion of any concept is practice. But these cars in real battle did not break in.
And something seems to me that it is difficult to miss on such targets, and that they don’t even have to spend tandem shots, the old RPG-7 from the 60s is enough.
They look, of course cool, but you have to be more modest in battle.

[SCHMEL]

Such fishing and hunting would not be necessary.

[Rabinovich_007]

When I was in the house in which there was an elevator of this company - Mitsubishi. Stupid, without a break, trying to close the door, hammering doors on the body endlessly.

[soroKING]

you need to dodge your body ... this is for fitness and massage

[Rabinovich_007]

Quote: soroKING

So this is such a chip, but I did not understand.

[Incvizitor]

In Russia, new elevators are generally miserable, in the USSR they did better if things were transported, they strive to close forever, it’s good that I didn’t dump things
It took 2 years in the new house 5 times already broke.
But they have what they need cars, not expensive and good, from a friend Lancer 10 was now an outlander, happy that he took.

[APASUS]

Mom darling!
Smooth as a parallelepiped, the height is about 3 -3,5 meters, and it’s a grenade launcher’s dream. With such a vertical arrangement of the sides, no booking will save him.

[vodkinmotors1]

20 knots ?! Crap easier. Maybe 0,2 knots, calm in the lake.

[Govorun]

Our defense industry back in the 40s came up with rational angles, and these are still pitted straight ... with such dimensions it will be difficult to quickly turn around.

[Incvizitor]

As in the Second World War, everything remained angular

[Roman Lenivov]

T-34 was developed back in the 30s.

[Zomanus]

Floating target ... a large floating target.
And the question is, from whom are Japan such cars?
Because there is a conflict with any of the neighboring countries
quickly lead to the use of nuclear weapons.
And there you cannot save Japan with such boxes.

[Ferdinant]

This they do for self-development

[Clone]

Scale model amphibious armored personnel carrier from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries... translated from Japanese means "Joy of a grenade launcher"?

[Chever]

Once the spoiler has been installed, it will probably be faster than Mitsubishi Evolution to accelerate to 100

[LAWNER]

To scatter one timber carrier in the coastal zone, and then using the sea law to collect what the Sea has washed ashore.

[Roman Lenivov]

Mass grave of 15 paratroopers and crew
