Israel has tested the combat module for the Bamer Namer

39
In Israel, the first stage of testing of an uninhabited combat module designed for installation on the “Timer” and “Eytar” armored personnel carriers has been completed. The tests were carried out by the Merkava and BTT (MANTAK) development department in the Israeli Defense Ministry, this stage was recognized as successful, the bmpd blog reports citing oleggranovsky.

Israel has tested the combat module for the Bamer Namer




A video of the use of the Namer armored personnel carrier of the Gil anti-tank complex (Spike-MR or Spike-LR) has appeared on the network. A feature of this system is the internal placement of the launcher, which allows it to be protected from bullets and shell fragments. It is noteworthy that missile launches were made when the armored personnel carrier stopped. It is possible that the tests of the complex in motion are provided during the next test phase, because modern BTR and BMP have long been using rocket armament in motion. Moreover, Israeli companies have long won international recognition in the production of anti-tank missile systems.


"Namer" - a heavy armored personnel carrier, also classified as a heavy infantry fighting vehicle, created on the basis of tank Merkava MK4. It is currently considered the most protected armored personnel carrier in the world. The first copies were armed with a large-caliber machine gun of 12,7 mm caliber, but the serial "Namer" is equipped with a combat module armed with a 30 or 40 mm automatic cannon.

      Well done, the Israelis, they did the right thing by hiding the ATGM under the armor. It is strange that our developers have forgotten about this, although they have long been using ATGM "Shturm" and "Attack" in the ground version

        Exactly. Otherwise, the elders have a desire to send armored personnel carriers (and he is, by definition, full of soldiers) into the very heat where only tanks are expensive. Look at this Namer. He's almost like a tank. What ...?

          Well, Oleg, apparently, you and I remained in the past of AOI. New threats, new tactics, and therefore other weapons.

          “The head of the special department of the armored forces under the Ministry of Defense, Brigadier General Baruch Matsliakh, said in this regard that“ an armored personnel carrier with a turret and a cannon is the best answer to the challenges posed by fighting the enemy in urban areas. The caliber of the gun is 30 mm. , and, thus, the gun is designed to provide fire support for infantry units, covering the fighters and allowing them to be more independent on the battlefield, namely, to reduce dependence on help from other units. "
          At the same time, the "gun turret" is installed in such a way as not to violate the "integrity" of the armored personnel carrier (DUM) and thereby not endanger the crew and the soldiers being transported. Simple and easy to use, the tower also includes an active defense system (KAZ) and other systems, adding significant capabilities to the combat vehicle, ”he added.

            In this "Namer" is turned from a heavy armored personnel carrier into a heavy infantry fighting vehicle. It was much more reasonable to separate the "flies from cutlets" by making a "tandem BMP", where specialized fire support is given to such vehicles as BMPTs, and the transport function is left to the armored personnel carrier. It would hardly be difficult to make a purely BMPT on the Namer base, removing the landing force, with a powerful fire component.

            For the BMP, this tower was conceived. It is a crime to put her on an armored personnel carrier.

              Well, you can go so far. Nobody cancels the rule that infantry fights on their feet, but the extension of its fire capabilities is welcome. Do not forget that, compared with the 2000 year, we have halved the number of tank units and almost doubled the number of infantry.

              Failure? Quite the opposite, everything is just beginning in the recognition of machines such as BMPT. It is wrong to think that 12-13 living souls can be crammed into a heavy infantry fighting vehicle, a turret with powerful weapons can be installed, thick armor can be made, and all without damaging anything. What to expect from a heavy infantry fighting vehicle, that after the landing, it will become better than a specialized BMPT? No, it won't, you can't add anything without worsening anything, the BMPT has much more chances for more powerful weapons and more powerful protection than a heavy BMP, in addition, it has no need to wait for the infantry to land, it can provide support to tanks right away, both in line with them, so, if necessary, in front of them. A heavy infantry fighting vehicle will not be better than a heavy armored personnel carrier, which, again, being not burdened with additional weapons, can have better characteristics for the immediate task, protection and transportation of infantry, without getting out to the tanks, without risking to burn out along with all the landing force in the first line. The concept of "fire vehicles" should take into account their interaction, both in helping their tanks and their infantry. This will be their harmonious addition to tanks and heavy armored personnel carriers.

                The infantry is fighting on foot. By definition. An armored personnel carrier is needed to deliver infantry to the battlefield, and not to conduct a battle on an equal footing with tanks with infantry on board.

              And KAZ does not fire, above its head. In this sense, BMPT in supporting tanks and preferably where tanks are fighting. Where tanks can no longer be without infantry, there must be heavy armored personnel carriers with assault groups, not for the paratroopers 9-10, but for 5-6 for heavy armored personnel carriers. This will make the BTR more compact, more comfortable to place the troops, reduce the time for dismounting and deployment of the assault group of the machine, as a single unit, combat unit. The defeat of such an armored personnel carrier with a smaller assault force minimizes losses, but, in any case, even with such use, heavy assault armored personnel carriers should not climb ahead of the tanks, interacting with the BMPT. Naturally, this is not an alternative to the classic infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, but a supplement, for attack units, with the tactics of assault groups, in conjunction with MBT, BMPT, and TBTR, in various proportions, applied to tasks.
