New BMP "Lynx" passed in front of NATO troops

The German company Rheinmetall presented its new Lynx KF41 infantry fighting vehicle at the exercises of the North Atlantic Alliance. The demonstration took place on September 22, 2020 in Hungary during the NATO "Brave Warrior" maneuvers.

This is a significant milestone for our LYNX team to see this vehicle for the first time in the Allied military theater. We received a huge amount of positive feedback from the military!

- noted in Rheinmetall.

The place for the demonstration of the new product, apparently, was not chosen by chance. Hungary, which purchased 218 BMPs of this type in September this year for more than 2 billion euros, is the first customer of the KF41 Lynx. At the same time, even the Bundeswehr did not acquire it.

The video shows the movement of the BMP in front of the troops. The footage shows NATO military equipment in a sandy color, including the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, with which the Lynx is apparently comparable in size.

Lynx is produced in two versions (KF stands for "Kettenfahrzeug", which means tracked vehicle in German): Lynx KF31 weighing up to 38 tons, crew 3 + 6, and Lynx KF41 of slightly larger weight, crew 3 + 8. As the main caliber is a Wotan 35 cannon with an electric drive, which, as indicated, "shoots tested and in service 35x228mm ammunition from Rheinmetall."

nothing ... so futuristic in appearance. nothing more to say.

Why does it hurt the futuristic?
Barrel protective cover?
So they showed it to us 5-7 years ago on promising Russian models of armored vehicles ...

Yes. and at least not fenced in "birdhouses" outside.

[hydrox]

It is still necessary to wait a while: how will they begin to install combat protective equipment, a Curtain-some, again, active armor, smoke pipes ... - but you never know what - so birdhouses and turrets must be sure will appear. Although there is one birdhouse on the tower, and there is already a periscope nearby ...

Did they show us a lot, what went into the series?

Duc has already purchased 218 pieces. What is not a series ?!

[karpusha]

I'm talking about armata with boomerangs and so on.

[AKS-U]

Tell me where these models are. Would like to watch.

Futuristic look and bigger than a tank. The frames show the code driving past them. Well ...
Leopard -
Length with a gun forward, mm 9540
Width, mm 3250
Height, mm 2400

BMP Lynx -
Length: 7,7 m
Width: 3,6 m
Height: 3,3 m

So I drew attention to the height. One meter (!) Higher than the BMP-3 and BMD. And in terms of booking, it's not a tank at all ...

One meter (!) Higher than the BMP-3 and BMD.

But in comparison with Kurganets, it is almost the same in height. Plus minus.

And who said that Kurganets was our undoubted design success?

Since 2015, consignments of vehicles for experimental military operation have been sent. As a disadvantage, the military called the high profile of the car. Despite the fact that the profile of "Kurganets" in height is approximately the same as that of its western counterparts (48 mm higher than that of M2 Bradley, and 58 mm lower than that of the German Puma), as well as the same thickness of armor , the Russian military, traditionally preferring low-profile vehicles, call it "a grenade launcher's dream."

[Hypertension]

For modern anti-tank systems, the size of the BMP is no longer a significant parameter for effective destruction. Yes, and the soldier now went bigger - to sit huddled in a low Behe ​​reluctance.

the Russian military, traditionally preferring low-profile vehicles,

Don't want to ride horses into battle "traditionally"? Or go to the bayonet? After all, "traditionally" Russian soldiers were famous for their bayonet fighting. And low profile mine protection is out of tune.
Again the generals are preparing for the past wars.

With bayonet fighting, everything is in order - they taught me, and for several decades I have been trying to keep in shape. I didn't have to deal with modern ATGMs, but they never went inside - precisely because of the mines. Because the "tractor drivers" have always been somehow in a special pity - they have nowhere to go ...

Well, then what's the point in the low profile of the BMP, if the infantry adds another 50-70 cm from above? Moreover, the infantry is not protected in any way.
So it turns out that Kurganets with the fighters inside is not much higher than the BMP-2 with the fighters on top. And if the KAZ is still as promised, then the difference in height in a meter is, in principle, uncritical.

[SAG]

Lynx KF31 weighing up to 38 tons, and Lynx KF41 a little more mass ... According to the Russian classification, closer to the tank ... Consider the T-55

The more futurism in the design, the more work for the tinsmiths

Aha! Its height is especially "futuristic"! And the cost - and wah-a-a-a - solid "futurism" !!!

[hydrox]

About a meter longer than Bradley and about half a meter wider. They are approximately equal in height with Bradley.
In general, the goal is so good, voluminous ...
The main conclusions can be made after the process of work of the ATGM along with the process of burning and leaving the car by the crew is traced.

[7,62x54]

Indeed, that much of it was dusting the NATO soldiers.

[AshPoseidon]

Das ist Fantastisch! Ja ja! naturelich!
It is clear that their BMP from Rheinmetall Defense is to a large extent created as a counterweight to our Kurganets-25 universal tracked platform.

[Keyser soze]

Well, it's brilliant to make a commercial in the dustiest hole you can find in Europe. Probably the soldiers were cursing this drynda and the carrier sitting inside how much the light costs ...

[andr327]

But how is the issue of transferring to new theaters of operation resolved - on its own, by rail, by plane, by road? Too wide.

[hydrox]

Not stuffed in Galaxy?
Yes, you can put a number of slopes on the traler - again, the load will be painfully problematic in height ...

[ksv36]

Yes, everything is fine. Even the blind will come from far away. Good target.

[APASUS]

It turns out interesting. The Polish promising tank Concept PL-01 was smashed to smithereens by critics, and the German Lynx KF41 was awarded another launch into the series. And for me, the same solutions
For comparison:

[hydrox]

Well, you also compared: some kind of Pshek's tin can and Rheinmetall's super-dolls (even if (strictly between us! ), RM also did not always carve only nonubivahi)!
The Germans have great engineering technology, and the pshek have apples with strawberry fudge ... This is a purely political question!

A grenade launcher's dream ...

Of course, I may be wrong about the more bells and whistles, the more difficult it is to repair in the field

[fearik]

Her speed is clearly not like a lynx, the Bundeswehr will not acquire, well, maybe the Poles will buy if there is enough money.

[Sergey Sfiedu]

Hungarians have already ordered.

Cannon Wotan, it's time for us to create Perun ;-)

[waitknait]

The cost is impressive !!! Approximately 850 million rubles apiece !!! This is what a rollback it was necessary to zashashlyat to buy this vyser of the German car industry.
For comparison, t90ms costs about 200 million rubles. That is, for this trotter you can kum 4 normal tanks. And for 50 million rubles of guided missiles.
Before that I thought that the main suckers in Evropka were Ukrainians. But no, the Hungarians hike.

[Vadim237]

They cost in euros - not rubles.

Cool, they stole the Ukrainians!

[prodi]

much more promising BMP seems to be a bunch of BMPT and armored personnel carriers

[Klingon]

You can, of course, poke at the height of the profile, the weight of the car and other disadvantages, but the lynx's cannon is, however, a thing, and 35 mm programmable projectiles for it, with remote detonation. And so are the mini-booms with a detachable pallet. And on our not "having analogues in the world" even 57-mm with DP is not able to cut down. Why??

[Alexander Yalta]

not only mini arrows, but also mini tomahawks)))))))

[Dimon Dimonov_2]

There, along the way, the warriors weighed down all their military diapers ... from the flank the Lynx looks like Armatu ... how many military men grabbed the heart !? The cool command made a joke on the poor NATO soldiers ...

[Alexander Yalta]

Military review went along the path of air pro?

[Lesorub]

"Bradley", with which "Lynx", apparently, is comparable in size

In the video, as it seemed to me, the Lynx is probably bigger than Bradley.

Another futuristic-looking shit
