In Libya, the American armored personnel carrier M113 armed with a Soviet howitzer

The Soviet howitzer D-30 caliber 122 mm is still used to create hybrid self-propelled guns. Thus, in Libya, the local "Kulibins" managed to install this weapon on the famous American armored vehicle M113, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

Military experts find it difficult to say how well this “invention” is. The ten-ton tracked vehicle is made of aluminum and is hardly suitable for a similar purpose. Previously, these armored personnel carriers could be found with mortars mounted on them, various anti-tank complexes and heavy machine guns.

To facilitate the installation of the howitzer, the craftsmen had to dismantle the stern doors and the roof of the troop compartment of the vehicle. If one of the advantages of the gun in the towed version was the possibility of firing in any direction, then here it can only shoot forward.

Judging by the photograph, at least three armored vehicles were subjected to such modernization.

As the author notes, this mutant cannot be compared with the Egyptian self-propelled gun SP122, which is also armed with the Soviet howitzer D-30 and is a full-fledged ACS. True, the Egyptian product also does not have a tower with a circular rotation.

Also in Egypt, installed D-30 on cars Ural-4320. Similar wheeled self-propelled guns are available for the armies of Algeria, Iran, Iraq, Serbia and other countries.

From a stop, this stray will certainly be able to shoot for a while, until the hull goes along the seams.

Somewhere and put on a wheelbase.

It looks like a fiction picture. Doesn’t it tip over with a shot?

[sabakina]

At least the hydraulic cylinders-stops are visible.

[Romka47]

After the shot, it automatically changes position backward)

[Incvizitor]

There, the rear wheels are already half-masted ...

she has outriggers that transmit returns to the ground, and not to the chassis, and stabilize the installation. Only shoots from a place

[Ural-4320]

It’s hard to imagine on this device a command to the mechanical driver - “Short!”
In general, the war of attrition is in full swing.

but this is not. A few shots from the spot - and drape. As far as the speed characteristics of the M113 allow. BV has its own specifics of fighting .. almost like in Ukraine

[Sands Careers General]

This is only direct fire, if the angle is greater than 45 from the closed position of this mutant will overturn)

[andrewkor]

I agree with you, all the more dismantled the roof, the rigidity of the hull immediately fell. How many shots can withstand, Allah knows!

[rocket757]

The fantasy of true warriors has no limit! However, it is now that we allow ourselves to grin, looking at this miracle .... there were times like ours, though for a long time.

but what does the rigidity of the case? Did they screw the howitzer to the roof? no, to the bottom, all recoil on the chassis. At least cut the sides completely - it won’t get any worse

[Romka47]

And here the roof, well, cut off the roof with a passenger car and you’ll understand everything

[Grigory_45]

oh my god ..) Of course, the roof, as a connecting element, affects the stiffness of the body, but in this case it’s not the case, because the gun is screwed to the bottom, and all the effort is transferred to it and to the chassis. Even if there were no side walls and a roof, it would not be worse, because on them force is not transmitted. Did you even learn sopromat

[Romka47]

No respected, I didn’t teach; there was no compromise in my university (in my specialty.)

what is it? on the "Lada Vesta", also from the "Kia Rio" stabilizer bushings Muzyki put-go longer talk.

[ANCIENT]

Just shoot from such a self-made self-propelled gun for yourself is deadly!

[Armata]

2с19 was put on the Bradley base. Aren't you funny? Nonsense is complete.

[ANCIENT]

Yeah, I welcome the best of the Eugene (Zhen simple) site! !! How is your namesake nickname being tested? ?? 100 tanks are not enough for the army, you need at least three tank divisions in the military staff! !!

In the best years, there were 11 tank divisions in the GSVG alone, and even more in the country. Then they slept peacefully offhand - in the vicinity of the training only there were 2 tank divisions - Yelan and Chebara. Big country needs a lot of tanks

[APASUS]

It is very strange to read on VO about such new armaments. Now you can open the Internet and download thousands of pictures from Syria or Ukraine with similar weapons.

[cniza]

This is what they say.

[andrewkor]

You can of course it is possible, but there is no time, if only suddenly interest in these Wunderwaffen lights up, and so the people tried for us!

[demiurg]

Poor guy M113 will not crack from the recoil? How many shots of the chassis will be enough, even when firing the weakest charge?

[bald]

Standing at a shot from the rear is definitely not worth it. Or maybe they, as in Yemen (today someone posted the video) by the cord, as T-34 will be pulled. Go already tested more than once, then it works.

[NF68]

It is time for them to switch to the carts. Harnessed the camel, unhooked it properly, and forward.

[andrewkor]

Do you mean a known fluid to stimulate?

[abrakadabre]

Do you mean a known fluid to stimulate?

No. Insert a pod of red pepper into the ass. Still on a camel to transfer liquids in the desert.

Could be so. And you can try to scare him with a piece of lard. Suddenly, this method will have the desired effect.

Ah Libya, was one of the most socially developed countries .. And now here is the massacre and blood, refugees! Just like in Iraq .. US democracy, like locusts went through many countries of the world including Russia.

If you have something to protect, then there must be something to protect it ... That’s what happens when people don’t buy weapons for free funds, but “invest” in the economies of foreign partners ...

And where does Russia?

[sabakina]

Yes, you are right, in Russia there is no democracy. There is autocracy.

[Thunderbolt]

Military experts find it difficult to say how successful this "invention" is.

What kind of experts are they if they find it difficult?
The fact of the matter is that I wanted to hear an authoritative opinion, but even if the experts give in, it means a very secret self-propelled gun ... we also need to get something similar.

[Black sniper]

What kind of armored personnel carrier? With a 122mm howitzer?

[cobalt]

Cubans d-30 put on the base of the t-34, it is quite suitable for use

[Altona]

I recalled the classic imperishable. It may be out of place, but still relevant. For Russia, the D-30 howitzer, for America, the memorable BTR M113.

[nathanael]

The dog knows him .. Bradley, after all, is the most lousy BMP .. She hardly pulls on an armored personnel carrier

[Igor Strakh]

If you remember Essy, the first of these M113 “pods” were generally open - like BTR 152 (which, after the Prague events, was closed from above, many grenades flew from the upper floors in Prague - which simply buried the landing party with the crew)

[Igor Strakh]

And that only on the M113 did not hang

[tolmachiev51]

I do not understand much in artillery, but it seems too much !!! Firing accuracy ??? Yes, and how many armored personnel carriers can withstand shots !!! ???
