In Peru, French tanks will be converted into self-propelled howitzers

The Peruvian Ministry of Defense will re-equip 30 to 40 obsolete lungs tanks French-made AMX-13 in 122mm self-propelled howitzers bmpd.

Self-propelled guns have already received the designation AMX-D30 Vulcano. Work will be carried out weapons FAME SAC and the Central Arsenal of the Army of Peru.

“Re-equipment will be carried out by installing on the chassis of AMX-13 tanks the swinging 122-mm unit of the Soviet towed howitzer D-30 from the storage of the Peruvian army. The howitzer will be mounted in an open installation of circular rotation with a regular shield, ”the material says.

The driver will get a TVN-5 night vision device. A modern VHF radio station P-030U will be installed in the automatic control system (both of them are of Ukrainian origin).

A kind of "expansion" of the dill defense industry in the Latin American market?
Recently there was a story about a similar hybrid among the Egyptians. But without a rotating swinging part. Apparently the D-30 howitzers gain a second life.

Egyptian SP122 at an American base.

Apparently the Soviet howitzer is still in demand. And enough ammunition.

Why Volcano? High rate of fire?

Yes, these Perunians decided to rekindle the world war !!!, they master such monsters. With all sorts of gadgets tricked out. It would be necessary for the Piruans to give a hint so that they would check if these hadgets were removed from the kakogon elevator in Kiev? And video surveillance from the same entrance?

in my opinion nothing good will come of it, the installation will turn out well, at best, 50-60x ....

> Ukrainian ATGM "Skif"

ATGM "Skiff" is a joint project of Belarus and Ukraine. The Belarusian sight and the Ukrainian R-2 missile are used there.

The Ukrainian ATGM is the “Stugna-P” with a fully Ukrainian sighting system from the Photopribor factory and with the same Ukrainian P-2 missile.

Why do they need a tank, a stone ax and a spear.

[Romka47]

Well, by the way, yes, and it’s cheaper, and they can achieve more with that weapon

We are waiting for the appearance of a new art in WOT

[Metallurg_2]

In some ways, the picture reminds me of another World of tanks artwork, which "existed only in drawings." Moreover, there is already much more such technology there than real production cars.

An interesting option But there are a couple of questions:
1. In addition to the NVD mehan and the new radio station, will there be anything new there? For example, in terms of howitzers?
2. And will the AMX-13 chassis live for a long time under the impact of such a high-quality unit as the D-30?

[Cananecat]

Will live. They will reinforce the stern with a bulldozer knife and they will all nightmare at speed

We urgently need to hire Peruvian Photoshop!
