Light tank "Sprut-SDM1" interested in the Middle East

Russian light floating a tank Sprut-SDM1 has become interested in the Middle East. According to the chief designer of the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (SKBM, part of the Kurganmashzavod structure of the Rostec state corporation) Sergei Abdulov, one of the countries in the region has already submitted an application for the purchase of the tank.

According to Abdulov, one of the countries of the Middle East is a potential customer of the Sprut-SDM1 light tank; it has already submitted an application. Several other countries are expressing interest in the tank, but the matter has not yet reached a substantive discussion. Which country wants to buy Sprut-SDM1 is not reported.

So far, one of the countries of the Middle East is showing substantive interest, but work is being done in several regions.

- he said.

Recall that on August 21 this year, the press service of Rostec announced the start of state tests of a new light amphibious tank Sprut-SDM1, which will last a year and a half. At the end of the tests, the vehicle will be recommended for adoption by the Russian army.

The Russian combat vehicle Sprut-SDM1 "is armed with a 125-mm cannon, a 7,62-mm machine gun paired with it and a 7,62-mm machine gun mounted on a remote-controlled module. destroying enemy strongpoints and defensive structures, conducting military reconnaissance and outposts.

So it turns out to be a tank? Or is it a self-propelled gun?))) So it does not reach the tank with a weapon and armor)

Modernized self-propelled anti-tank gun "Sprut-SDM1"

[vVvAD]

Modernized self-propelled anti-tank gun "Sprut-SDM1"

This is according to our classification. In the world it is called a light tank.
So this is marketing (they still learn to promote)

[Borik]

For some, a tank, but for other self-propelled guns. For us, those who are interested in buying, it is desirable to buy. India is also interested in what next? Whether they buy or not, you can't understand without dancing

[vVvAD]

Good news: the first will be followed by others.

[The leader of the Redskins]

What do you mean does not hold out with a tool? !! And what then stands on I 72, T90 and T 80 ?!

[mvg]

And what then stands on the I 72, T90 and T 80?

And you delve into the internet, what is the difference between 2A75 and 2A46-5 or 2A82-1M, and there will be fewer stupid questions.

[The leader of the Redskins]

And what about 2A46 except for the increased rollback? Created on its basis. The ammunition goes the same. I understand if you poked me 100 mm from BMP 3 and 100 mm from T 55, and so ...

[Viktor Sergeev]

The tank does not differ in either weapon or armor. This is not a tank or an SPG, but rather just an assault support vehicle that can be used as a support tank and SPG. If it is like a tank in mountainous terrain or where there are forests, shooting from ambushes, shelters is his element.

[113262a]

This is a tank that cannot be fired upon from a machine gun and which is afraid of close explosions of HE shells and mines. Motorcycle league with a gun!))) This is not for war!

[vVvAD]

And try to parachute or make OT swim with a mass of 40 tons in the most optimistic case Everything has its purpose.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Remember, it's better to have a light tank here and now than the main tank somewhere out there. This is a mobile cannon, 125 mm, which will not seem like a little if it hits.

[113262a]

If! Stupidly a cannon for a motorcycle league (as on carnations-acacias, which cost a penny, because there is no complex MSA, stabilizers and other nishtyaks.) - this is still understandable. But to fence something on the base of the Shell, which is not cheap even once ... Do you want a light tank? So even the Papuans now have RPGs and mortars and just large-caliber machine guns in their hands. Or, so that if you really feel sorry for the machine, not let it out on the battlefield?

[Viktor Sergeev]

And who told you that the Octopus will approach the Papuans at the RPG range? Octopus will hit firing points from a distance of 2 km, for this it is intended, the maximum is suitable for a kilometer. Let me tell you a secret, in Vietnam, as it turned out, PT76 were effective, since sometimes a striking charge simply pierced the armor without hitting either the crew or ammunition, and the conditions were unsuitable for heavy equipment. Armor, even light armor, did not interfere with anyone, and speed and maneuverability are the best means against enemy shells.
I see you liked the word "motorcycling". By the way, there is a howitzer on Acacia, and a cannon on the Octopus, Acacia is heavier, lower mobility.

[113262a]

By the way, if there were then a carnation with acacia, they would have been in Vietnam! And 76 got there precisely because of its buoyancy and lightness - speed in the jungle is not needed (and they often carried it out of the mud on their hands! All that - = BMP-1 weight) And the fact that the tank is now, as soon as its exit to position is detected -there is covered with mines, we have already seen and felt this! Firstly, the infantry is cut off, and secondly, all the husks from the armor are demolished. And it's good if you have counter-battery goodies - in 14 they were not with us, or with non-brothers. Who fired from, from where, until the reconnaissance is lost, until their gunners wake up, you already have a bunch of 300, and you change the triplex, it's good that the outer optics of the sights were not beaten. Outside tanks, zips, everything is in dust! And if the hatches were also open, hello concussion. With PLYWOOD, everything is different! Almost everything is bulletproof, it is already on fire, There is a stench of burnt rubber, oil and shish kebab. !

[Viktor Sergeev]

Have you tried to see what tactics NATO countries use in breaking through their defenses? By the way, the landing should not carry out the task of breaking through the defense in depth, in this case the landing has little chance of surviving. And if the Octopus is used in the mountains, forests, then it will be there in its element. What you have described testifies only to one thing: if the defense is strong, no tanks can do anything, and here nothing matters, neither the armor nor the control system.

[113262a]

Well, if you develop the idea further, then for the barmaleev, that's the thing! They are also glad to the carts on the pickup trucks with quadruple checkpoints! Yes, and our anti-aircraft guns and rapiers are screwed onto trucks. So they fight. There is no place for a tank in the mountains. My Afghan battalion commander painted. For this, BMP3-4 is made. And I repeat, no octopus has that mass, transmission and chassis that will reliably withstand our gun

This is a tank, a descendant of the PT-1 with all that it implies.

[stalki]

it also says "Sprut-SDM1 combat vehicle" more precisely, an airborne self-propelled anti-tank gun, designed for airborne landing. Or will the T-90 be easier to drop? Plus multitasking

The vehicle is designed for fire support of subunits, fighting armored vehicles, destroying enemy strongpoints and defensive structures, conducting military reconnaissance and outposts.

so it's a light all-round unit. And it doesn't matter if it's an SPG or a light tank. The point is not in the name, but in the purpose.

[113262a]

The tank is the one with the armor and the big gun .. The armor is nikosovaya, but the gun is there! Yes, it's a tank! With a good control system, a thermal imager and stabilizers of sights and guns, it is possible to shoot ON THE RUN, (I don’t know how long the transmission will be enough!)

[Pereira]

As the customer wants, we will name it.

Light tank "Sprut-SDM1" interested in the Middle East

At BV, everyone will need it, as they see it. Lightweight, cheap, powerful, reliable and most importantly from Russia.

[113262a]

Who's the kid? There are solid titanium and magnesium with aluminum, the filling of the main tank, where does the cheapness come from?

[Mavrikiy]

Quote: 113262

, filling-the main tank-where is the cheapness?

Very cheap compared to the competition. Read the comparison on VO.

[113262a]

I will reveal a secret, from non-brothers in Malyshev and warehouses of the Kramatorsk type, both before the war and now, mountains of armored hulls, towers, guns and engines. Stacks with bandaging! There is no money for the restoration of the filling, sights, electronics, electrics, etc. That is exactly the FILLING, and there is the main part of the cost of the tank!

[Mavrikiy]

Quote: 113262

That's exactly the FILLING, and there is the bulk of the cost of the tank!

Are we going to ask your grandmother? the Americans put on their own cannon-proof armor and the Israeli KAZ with a weight of 38 tons. How will this affect the price? So our ACS turns out to be several times cheaper.

[113262a]

Vooot! And here, if there is still modular armor, yes, the Relic is looking at it, and half of the armor is running out! But the armor will not be, it will not lie down and the air suspension will not rise! As well as just active armor, the hull simply cannot withstand

[bayard]

Well, now the interested parties have appeared, the arms market is not held only by the Indians. The fact that a tank can cross a water barrier on the move and immediately engage in battle is worth a lot. The Euphrates River is wide, but it must be forced ...
And it is more convenient for him to run on the sands - the weight is small, the thrust-to-weight ratio is high.

[alex aircraft]

From an airborne anti-tank SU to a light tank, let's call the BMD 4 a tank. after all, the weapon is stronger than on Fri 76. and by the way it’s not ashamed to call it the newest? for testing sprud sd voshel in 1990. what is new? a thermal imager? or an air conditioner? we all live by the backlog of the USSR.

[Private-K]

Quote: alex aircraft

Almost nothing remained of that Soviet Sprut-S except for the external resemblance. Everything else, literally.

[7,62h54]

It remains to figure out where there is a lot of water in the Middle East, so that floating is useful.

[Quadro]

It remains for you to understand the geography and see where the cities are located, and there is already water. Or when the Americans were forced to use the Soviet pontoon bridges, they could not cross the dune?

[Eug]

As for me, the wheeled version is better for the BV. There is a lot of abrasive dust, deadly milking caterpillars.

[Al_lexx]

Where he is there (on the BV) will swim, it is not clear. But if a special export version is made for them, removing water cannons and by saving weight, adding something else (active armor, launcher or something else) or simply increasing the speed (power reserve) and cross-country ability on sandy soils, then it is very high-tech. " shaitan arba ", it will work out for local Bedouins.

[Quadro]

Open the map and see where the cities are located in this region. Prompt - near the rivers. Americans crap in their time, also thinking why they should swim and had to use Soviet pontoon bridges.

[garri-lin]

And again TANK. This is a self-propelled gun, not a tank. The last light tank on the territory of modern Russia was created before WW2.

[Quadro]

Well, yes, but the PT-76 apparently was in service with the Reptilians and was created by them.

[garri-lin]

Fri 76 is not a light tank, but a floating one.

[Quadro]

Quote: garri-lin

And the BT-5 is not a light tank, but a fast one.

[garri-lin]

And where does the BT 5?

[V1er]

Well, if the PT-76 was a light tank, then the Octopus can be considered as such. Light airborne tank.

If you need a tank, it's a tank. If an SPG, then there will be an SPG. The main thing is to register it in the correct units - tank or artillery. In the Airborne Forces, this is an ACS.

[113262a]

Plywood armor is not related! So we called the crews of the BMP. If, when firing from a spot, the T-80 jumps back 3 rinks, and woe to the gunner who did not rest his forehead on the fingal sight, or even dissection of the eyelids even through the eyecup. And here, a beer can with a cannon, all hope for the armor, so that the ribs are not broken! We didn't even have armored vehicles. And how does electronics withstand such blows in the Octopus? Reblock after each shot of AZRs with gas stations?

[silberwolf88]

I don’t understand it ... it’s a means of fire support for the landing (marines and winged infantry) ... why is anyone in the Middle East interested? ... which state and where is planning amphibious operations ...

[Quadro]

A light cheap tank with a powerful cannon. In war, Toyota is no longer needed.

[cat Rusich]

Against the "shahid-mobiles" and "carts" you need an AUTOMATIC cannon with a caliber of 25-30mm - to shoot at moving targets like a machine gun in bursts, and not with SINGLE BOPS, which only make a "hole" from the "scrap" in the case (at the exhibition " trophies "from Syria showed photographs with such holes, there is a hit, but the target is" not killed "). Say - "... we will shoot the OFSs ..." - so on the "cart" that still needs to be hit on the move ... I can offer an BTR-90 with a 30mm cannon and on wheels, and it will be able to swim across the river.

[Quadro]

Good luck to smoke the bearded devils out of pillboxes and firing points with a 30mm fart.

[cat Rusich]

For bunkers and other "firing points" - 4 ATGM "Konkurs-M" = BTR-90 Rostok

[cat Rusich]

BTR-90 Berezhok and 4 ATGM Kornet (with thermobaric warhead)

[cat Rusich]

It is possible to put a universal combat module "Bakhcha-U" on the BTR-90 - there are 4 pieces of UR and 34 pieces of 100mm OFS and a 30mm automatic cannon for "tachanki" and "shahid-mobiles" - there are many options, on the SPRUT-SDM1 self-propelled guns - "the light did not converge like a wedge" ...

[rotfuks]

I always thought that the fundamental difference between a tank and an SPG is that the tank turns the turret, while the SPG does not have this option. Judging by some features, "Sprut-SDM1" is a tank with a turret. Why are some of them enrolled in the ACS? Is his tower motionless or what?

[silberwolf88]

well, that means you were thinking wrong ... the Americans already had SPGs with a rotating turret in World War II ... for example, the 76mm GMC M18 Hellcat and others ...

[WingCat]

Just in the sands of the Middle East, a floating light tank is the most it. Although maybe they were going to storm the seas on it))
