Analogue of German Puma and Swedish CV90. China introduced the new BMP VN17

At the DSA 2018 exhibition, taking place these days in Kuala Lumpur, China showed for the first time a new VN17 BMP, reports "Warspot" with reference to the portal armyrecognition.com

The BMP VN17 is armed with a 30-mm automatic cannon and a 7,62-mm machine gun. To fight against heavily armored targets, Red Arrow 12 ATGM guided missiles are installed on both sides of its tower. In this case, the crew manages all the weapons with the help of a special system that allows you to automatically track and identify targets.

VN17 accommodates up to 10 people (3 crew member and up to 7 airborne people). The weight of the machine is over 30 t, while due to the engine power of the HP 883. It can reach speeds of up to 70 km / h. Reservation BMP corresponds to the level of NATO STANAG level-6, which protects the crew and troops from small weapons and splinters. In addition, the developers say that the VN17 can be equipped with additional bottom bookings that can withstand the undermining of the 8-kilogram bomb.

More drawn to the old BMP with a manned turret. On the new BMP tower uninhabited.

The view, frankly, is respectful. China is steadily stepping on the heels of leading arms exporters, while in recent years it has significantly raised the quality

Respect? In what? The car is new, and the solutions are old ... that is, it is for the "poor countries" ... let's see how it shows itself. Chinese equipment, while there is a BIG minus - it is not worth the money that customers invest in it, it takes too long and often has to be repaired.

[Prapor-527]

At the exhibition you can show anything. It is important that this “anything” would interest the military and not disappoint after appropriate tests. And ideally, it would be adopted.

It is not clear why the commander and gunner have two sights, and it seems the same. The gunner’s sight clearly weakens the frontal armor of the tower.

Well, for what two sights, this is understandable - duplication. But that's why the HABITATED tower, this is not clear.

To be able to look in different directions at the same time. Type hunter-shooter. No?

poke it so poke and poke it and poke it in Africa (Russian proverbs)

[taiga2018]

tried to create something similar to our "terminator?"

[donavi49]

Kurganets. They grow from the ZBD-08 (the chassis is the same, the hull is slightly changed, the tower is new) - which grew from the first Kurgan.

[donavi49]

By the way, they also brought the VT-5 Light Tank - also on this base. Chinese gun L7 - 35 tons, the engine in 1000 Chinese horses.

[Romka47]

As I understand it, it is sheathed with blocks of DZ?

[Graz]

with over 30 tons of weight only against small arms and shrapnel protection?
something doesn’t fit, with such weight the forehead should hold small-caliber artillery shells

[K-50]

The weight of the machine is more than 30 tons, BMP reservations correspond to the NATO STANAG level-6 level, which protects the crew and troops from small arms and fragments.

During WWII, tanks with such a combat weight had anti-ballistic armor, but here only “rifle” and fragments. How much equipment is shoved !!!

... there is only a "shooter" and fragments. How much equipment is shoved !!!

... + DZ adds mass

[donavi49]

During WWII - tanks with such a mass resisted shells with armor penetration level of modern 25-30mm guns.

Even scrap from museum L7 - any heavy WWII tank will break into any projection and not take off, only if it gets stuck in the engine.

[alexmach]

DZ and anti-cumulative screens, as it were, hint that the machine is not only protected from shooting.

[san4es]

... It has modular armor and can be adapted to specific threats for a more successful mission. The mobility and security of the BMP is comparable to the latest VT-5 MBT. The BMP is equipped with an uninhabited turret with a 30 mm gun, equipped with a panoramic aiming system and an integrated fire control system.

Looking at the Chinese, their head reminds me of a tower from a tank.

[Oleg Kozlov]

Soon, China will probably swallow America. Or Russia. And maybe both countries at once. Things are going to this. By cunning, by quiet ...

The Chinese are defending the infantry with high quality - we should have been quicker in the Kurganets troops 25

[romb]

It’s quite a modern tower. In the style of Cockerill, and besides, with the ability to deal with heavily armored targets. But they are being put on an armored personnel carrier.
