Published a video with the latest armored vehicle Stryker A1 MCWS

102
General Dynamics Land Systems released a one-minute video about its latest wheeled combat vehicle, the Stryker A1 MCWS. The video shows the operation of the 30-mm gun, which demonstrated high accuracy in firing conditions when firing on the go.





The Stryker A1 MCWS is the new generation of the Stryker Dragoon (ICVD) armored personnel carriers, which are currently armed with the 2 Cavalry Regiment located in Europe. The updated system is already ready for use in the US Army and Navy units. In the meantime, the newest Stryker was again presented at the AUSA (Association of the US Army) exhibition in Washington, where this year three divisions of General Dynamics demonstrate their achievements in the defense sector at once.


The Stryker A1 wheeled platform allegedly provides unprecedented survivability against mines and improvised explosive devices.

The machine is equipped with an 450 horsepower engine, an 910 amp alternator and its own local digital network. This armored personnel carrier, according to popular belief, is one of the most versatile, most mobile and safest in the entire US Army fleet.

      They "shed" will equip KAZ. The decision has been made, the implementation has started. In addition, modular protection provides for a significant decrease in the effectiveness of the destruction of cumulative warheads, as well as protection against 30-mm shells in the frontal projection and large-caliber bullets in the rest.

        Judging by the video and looking at the tower from above and from the side, KAZ is already standing on the presented sample.

        It seems that the time has come to change the caliber of our BMP to 57mm.

        That is, not only did they put an extra ton of turret with an autocannon on a heavily overloaded chassis (without the possibility of driving off-road with a hard surface and overcoming an ordinary roadside ditch), so they would weigh several hundred kg more KAZ and add armor to the forehead of the hull. The beauty.
        But how can they now hang "anti-guerrilla" bars if the tower "ate" the weight?
        And how will the 30-mm autocannon raise the firepower! No, of course it will raise, compared with a 12,7-mm machine gun ... pull the expensive Stricker to a cheap BTR-82 - that is, yes. But, somehow, finely. And belatedly.

The fact that it drives fast, well, the duck and the TIGER with 30 also drives fast and small, and it also costs 10 times cheaper. That's who is able to change the game, as it says at the end - this is a TIGER with 4 corets.

                  But in terms of flexibility, the Stryker loses because it cannot swim.

                      Your commitment is already stupidly annoying. You become disgusted in your stubbornness.
                      And at the same time, tell us why such a wonderful IDF Stricker refused to take even "on good terms" (tm) and preferred to start tedious development / testing of a machine with completely different parameters.

      An armored vehicle that is unable to drive off paved roads or only on hard dry ground cannot (well, cannot!) Be considered at least somewhat "good" and "complete".
      This is a full VBCI. Boxer is complete. Even Wolverine \ Patria is a full-fledged BBM. And Stricker is oligophrenic with cerebral palsy.

              Well, you did it. Found as many as two videos. Now, find a video of the joint exercises of the Polish BMP-2 and Strikers. BMP bags advance along the shit-clay-sand and sand, and the Strikers gradually ride alongside ... along type asphalt in the community; and the attempt to move off the asphalt ended in a jam in the first meters.
              But there was no reason for T-eshuk to bring the tank — there is a pit one and a half meters deep — not every driver can handle it.

                  In any case, Stricker is a combination of backwardness and drank. The Americans themselves, until they were squeezed by powerful censorship, cursed the Strikers in awe.
                  Now there are only two ready-made really good wheeled BBMs - Boxer and VBCI. You can add some of the Patria to those. In the future, there will be Boomer as an analogue of VBCI. And Stricker - in the furnace.

                        So we are talking about the fact that Stricker in the basic version has a reservation the same as BTR-82; but at the same time, 5-6 times more expensive. And the retention of KUBCH by the Stricker is achieved due to the ADDITIONALLY hinged armor increasing the weight of the machine by 40%. The same kit is hung on any APC with the same result.

                        So no. In the basic version, the armor is spaced, combined, with ceramic inserts, protecting against 14.5 mm and 155 mm fragments. And only then the blocks were hung, which further increased protection.

            We are talking about the Stricker hung with ADDITIONAL armor + trellised screens. But these are tons and tons of extra weight, the already horseradish pepelats.
            In the standard version, Stricker does not have any advantages in booking over the cheap BTR-82. The huge barn of Stricker weighs 17,2 tons, and the BTR-82 without a tower is approx. 14 tons. Due to the enlarged hull, the Stricker physically cannot have much better armor protection.

You have only one real cluster of examples - from the Arab-Israeli wars. However, again - an unbiased analysis in advance will show the approximate equality of these two machines. Despite the fact that the M60A1 was and was considered such, the crown of Western tank building at that time, and the Russian T-62 was considered a temporary measure and was already T-64.

                        No, the analysis will show that the T-62 ("temporary tank", produced longer than the T-34, T-54, T-55 and in the amount of 20 thousand units) and the armor is thicker, and the gun is steeper and the mobility is higher. And no tactical skill should compensate for the total lag (according to figures) of the M60 from the Soviet tank. Nevertheless, the tankers of Syria and Egypt, trained in the best Soviet schools, most often could not win not only the M60, but also the M48 in tank-to-tank battles.
                        And the Stryker is a well-protected vehicle that has proven itself well in battle.

                        Give tsiferki and other indicators and criteria for the "total lag" of the T-62 from the M60.
                        In 1941, the Wehrmacht's panzergroups, even in "kopeck pieces" and "Czechs", managed to smash Soviet tank units on T-34 and KV. Although the T-34 and KV were better, much better. Here's the answer - the impact on the result comes from top to bottom. First, the strategy, then the operational-strategic level, operational-tactical, tactical in several floors and only at the very bottom of the performance characteristics of the vehicle itself.
                        If the Syrian tank battalion commander idiot exposes his battalion to an almost unpunished flank and even when the enemy’s fire exceeds the terrain from prepared positions and loses all 31 T-62 burned out, this does not mean the quality of the T-62 and does not exalt the quality to heaven Centurion.

For your information - such a thing pierces BMP 2 right through at least from the bow to the stern, in any projection, through its bulletproof armor and any obstacles in its path inside the armored car. And if in the way of its movement there will be an explosive shell or a powder charge, then ignition or detonation is guaranteed.

              Impact core and cumulative jet are two big differences. I advise you to smoke a little materiel. The penetration capabilities of the PG-7V are large, but even BMP-2 it will not penetrate from the bow to the stern, the jet will dissipate before it reaches the rear hatches.

                Yeah ... So, you should google the materiel, that there are modern cumulative ammunition, and that is formed during the explosion of the PG7V grenade, due to which it has such crazy armor penetration.

                Maybe it will dissipate, if through MTO. And if through the crew and the fighting compartment - does not dissipate. It is checked repeatedly. No reasonable spaced reservation without significant thickness of armored barriers will save. And the gratings are a very small chance that the grenade will fall apart before its detonator detonates. Or that with a very sharp angle of impact, it will go along along the main armor protection ...

                In fact, the dofiga of the penetration of both BMP-1/2 and Soviet-type armored personnel carriers through through two "walls". Full of cases, even in the memoir literature, is described.
                In short - nichrome cumulative "jet" does not dissipate from the penetration of thin armor.

From Ptur and RPG there is the possibility of installing KAZ. As a result, the Americans have one of the best armored vehicles in the world.

      At Stricker, the main reservation for the nefig hull is not modular, but the most common thing is the welded box. And what is ADDITIONALLY hung is modular in its original essence.
      Now, tell us how a huge Stricker's shed can have fundamentally better protection than even the BTR-82, if the weight of the striker is 17 tons, and the BTR-82 without a tower is approx. 14 tons. The difference of 3 tons goes to cover the fundamentally increased volume of "one of the best armored vehicles in the world." At the same time, the BTR-82A, even with an autocannon, costs 5-6 times cheaper than a Stricker with a machine gun.

        The Americans in Kosovo preferred to travel on a carrying BTR-80. As for Afghanistan and Iraq, they had light armor with them easily. And the fact that relatively few are due to the constant hover of aircraft over positions. And there is one more factor. If an American soldier did not wear a bulletproof vest or turned out to be on wheels without an order, then he would lose insurance, and in many cases disability pension, in case of injury or contusion.

      "Reservation provides all-round protection against being hit by 14,5-mm armor-piercing bullets and fragments of 152-mm shells during air blasting"
      And yes, as far as I remember, it’s very difficult to find an armored personnel carrier in NATO countries that breaks through the CPV, because from the 80s of the last century, according to Western standards, an armored personnel carrier must provide circular protection against this caliber
