Light amphibious tank "Sprut-SDM1" will be tested in low temperatures

The Sprut-SDM1 light amphibious tank, which is undergoing state tests, will soon go to Western Siberia for testing in low temperatures. About it RIA News Bekkhan Ozdoev, Industrial Director of the Armaments Cluster of the Rostec State Corporation, said.

According to Ozdoev, a light tank for the Airborne Forces has already been tested on the Black Sea, in central Russia and in the subtropics. The next stage of testing is Western Siberia, where the Sprut will be tested at low temperatures.

In addition, the aircraft will be tested for air mobility by landing from the Il-76MD military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces. Where the airmobility tests will take place is not specified.

State tests of light floating tank "Sprut-SDM1", intended for the Airborne Forces, began in August 2020. According to previously announced information, one and a half years are given for state tests. Based on their results, it is planned to approve the design documentation and start serial production of the machine. The decision to adopt the Sprut-SDM1 into service has already been made.

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.

Good news. Good journey to the troops!

[Mountain shooter]

It's a good car. Best in class. The main thing is to use it correctly.

A floating tank frozen into the ice of the river has never been seen in Siberia in winter

If it falls through the ice, it will come out. He's floating. And if it freezes, they will cut it out ...

[seregatara1969]

Tank - floating ice ax! Oh how it is

[The leader of the Redskins]

Good news is always good news. Rather, the troops.

[RUSLAN]

In Western Siberia today it is -3, and tomorrow they promise 0 in general!

[Mouse]

Low temperatures in the current situation are north ... extreme ...
South of the Krasnoyarsk Territory ... tomorrow they promise zero too ...

[Ka-52]

and the fact that the day before yesterday was -43 is not a low temperature?

[Mouse]

We did not have -43 ... this year, it did not fall below thirty ... who is the witness? I am a witness! And what happened?....

[Ka-52]

usually in Khakassia, frosts are decent. so I thought, if it's under 40 in Krasnoyarsk, then in the "south" it should be the same

[Mouse]

It was, it was, it was, but it passed oh-oh-oh ... 26 km from me to Abakan. half an hour drive ... The winters are not the same for a long time ...

[rotmistr60]

Winters are not the same for a long time ...

If we are talking about winter, in Khabarovsk there is practically no snow for the third winter. So it will sprinkle it a little, then blow it up with the wind. And the temperature became higher, even in Epiphany frosts it did not drop below -25, and in the afternoon -17-19. True, the wind therefore feels (new in the weather forecast) sometimes below 30.

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

Do not wake up dashing while it is quiet! I remember how in Khabarovsk the houses were swept up to the first floor, people descended from the second floor to dig out the doors.

[NDR-791]

It's not for long Next week is -26. It will just arrive. And then you will put on seven trousers Probably in 242UTS VDV will be lucky to test.

Our weather dances plus minus 20 degrees per day. but the spread was even more.

[Uncle lee]

Sakhalin, south -16 in the afternoon ....

[Dodikson]

KhMAO was recently -46.

[Masha]

Here's how, after reading the comments above, not remember Lomonosov ...

Greetings, Siberians !!!

[BARKAS]

It was also possible not to go outside the factory test site on the spot.

[Proton]

Give it to us in Eastern Siberia. The weather was -40C all week, only yesterday it began to let go. Today the heat is generally -12C.

for airmobility by landing

Light floating, flying танк

In! Multifunctional!

[seregatara1969]

So I'm wondering if he flies with a whistle or not?

whistling

Whistles in the exhaust pipe ....

[iouris]

Interesting movie: first they adopted it, and only then ... When I was little, they did the opposite.

[carstorm 11]

Who accepted him, if he passes the state?) For a year and a half they will twist and heal sores that arise. The decision to adopt it suggests that the military went well. But before the fact of adoption for service still plow and plow.

And the trees were big .....

[Emil mamedoff]

The tower looks a little bare without a remote control. Not?) Would think of something literate there. Do not just scatter DZ anywhere, like on old T72, but clearly carefully think over something, and on the sides, too, a little, what if the enemy meets with a light RPG? (not to mention the ATGM). I think it will not add such a large mass.
And a very necessary thing, I wish you good luck, and so they sell us too! ..)

[ironic]

Tank empty weight 18T? This is a mass grave for the crew, similar to the BMP-1/2.

[Sands Careers General]

Octopus is a good car, judging by the performance characteristics.
Good luck!

[Jacket in stock]

And since when did he become a tank?
This is a self-propelled gun, an SPG, not a tank.
Accordingly, his armor is weak, just in case. Not intended for the battlefield.

[Dodikson]

this is artillery for the Airborne Forces, not a tank.
xs who called it a tank.

[Ros 56]

Precisely created for garage storage.

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

The elevation angle of the barrel is 15 degrees, with such performance characteristics it is a tank gun on a caterpillar track.

[Emil mamedoff]

Judging by the performance characteristics, the running indicators, such as the specific ground pressure, the overcome rise and so on, are exactly the same as those of the 2C31 Vienna. She also swims. As for the gun and fire potential, Vienna can also conduct aimed fire with direct fire without preliminary preparation of the firing position. It also shoots with a canopy at a distance of up to 13 km, in contrast to the Octopus.
Yes, one vehicle is declared as a "light tank, and the other as a universal self-propelled gun. But what is the difference between the Octopus and Vienna as a light tank? What can the Octopus do, which Vienna cannot do? Quite the opposite, it can only be IMHO." Yes, and all this computing system in Vienna, self-correction of fire, even with direct fire, in general, the fire control system I think will be no worse, or even better than that of the "light tank" Octopus. It would be simply interesting to compare them, with the same the assigned combat missions.)

Quote: Emil Mamedoff

the car is declared as a "light tank,

Yes, it has never been declared as a tank. This is what the scribblers call her.

[garri-lin]

High ballistics weapon and low ballistics weapon. Octopus is better than direct fire. Canopy Vienna.

[alex aircraft]

Octopus SD was created in the Union, in 1990 it went out for testing. How much can you whistle about new equipment when we live in Soviet stock (slightly modified)

[Ros 56]

Assistance to the landing is not bad, not all of them rush under the tank with grenades.

BMP-3 Cornet

Chrysanthemum ATGM. You can make a "platform for ATGM" on the BMD airborne base. There is an SD with a high-explosive warhead against the fortified points of the enemy.

[Ros 56]

Whatever one may say, but all this is very necessary for the landing party.
Especially in light of the news that Rosoboronexport has signed a permit to sell Armata for export today. Not in my troops yet, but over the hill, please.

Duc, in Elan it, octopus! Just the border of the Sverdlovsk and Tyumen. In winter, the beater is wild, the noses and ears of the cadets freeze! ... If there is still a middle regiment, just there. Heavy and Dauria, also busy with eighties ?.
