Germany will create a 130-mm cannon for a promising MGCS tank "capable of withstanding the Russian T-14 Armata"

Rheinmetall (Germany) will create a 130-mm cannon for the newest European tank until the middle of this decade. The weapon already exists, but will still be refined.

Gerhard Heiming writes about this in an article published by the German edition of Europäische Sicherheit & Technik.

The timing of the completion of the work is coordinated with the development schedule of the future European MGCS (Main Ground Combat System) tank. According to the plan, the conceptual choice of weapons should take place by the end of 2022, and the demonstration phase is scheduled for 2024. The competitor of the German gun is the development of the French company Nexter - a 140-mm tank gun.

According to Rheinmetall estimates, there are no other projects on the market that require an accelerated pace of the creation of a 130 mm cannon.

It was this caliber that was chosen as the most optimal using mathematical modeling. It gives the best combination of high precision and high kinetic energy of the projectile. Also, about 50 other parameters were taken into account that can affect these characteristics, among which the most important are the diameter of the turret swing platform, recoil force and barrel length.

The first 130mm cannon demonstrator was manufactured in 2016 and demonstrated at the Eurosatory exhibition. The reason for this rearmament was the creation in Russia of the T-14 "Armata" tank. In Europe, they do not hide that they are creating a tank capable of withstanding the Russian T-14.

Comments

[Quadro]

Again fairy tales from the leader. They 2a7 cannot really do in large quantities and this is on the old base, and then suddenly more new tanks are riveted than reinforcement, ha-ha. We probably have T-90m with rebar more than 2a7 throughout the Wehrmacht.

[postum]

Why do they need 2A7 in large numbers, is someone seriously going to fight?

[Incvizitor]

Well, some Germans seem to think that the war will be a battalion of armatures against a battalion of mgcs head-on, that all their tanks will be knocked out by aviation, this does not bother anyone.

[3danimal]

Firstly, the FRG also has aviation. Including the contingents of the US Air Force deployed on their territory and neighboring countries, which will increase during the threatened period (remember, now in Europe there are within 50 thousand US military, and in 1989 there were more than 200 thousand).
Secondly, their task is to hold out until the arrival of equipment and soldiers of the "elder brother".

Do you live in a pink world? Every day they bark about "from a position of strength" and "Russian aggression", but at the same time the army is in a complete mess, half of the air force is nailed to the ground like the armored forces.

[postum]

And what?, In Russia, too, they constantly bark about the "bloody" and "insidious" NATA. There are no insurmountable reasons for the conflict, our money is brought there, resources too. Why ruin everything. And this is nothing more than for domestic consumption

[ironic]

MBT in large numbers is not needed today for war either.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Yes, yes ... The Germans do not know how to do anything: neither cars, nor household appliances, nor weapons ... Thank you - they opened our eyes to life. I'll go and write to a colleague in Germany (a former Kazakh German) if he wants to change his "bucket of nuts" for "Kalina" or "Grand"?

Compare, Rapid or Jettu with Vesta ... so what? And if you take used options, without customs clearance, it's generally interesting.

[smart ass]

Compared Vesta is cooler than Rapid, Jetta's price tag is higher than garazdo

[mvg]

Compared Vesta is cooler than Rapid

Don't make it up. The initial configuration of the Rapid is 430 thousand rubles (the beginning of the configuration of the Rapid is better than Vesta). I rode on Vesta ... not bad, but this is a VAZ with a Nissan engine. He sat down on Grant, swore, bought Kalina for his wife, quiet horror. There were 25-30 cars under the ass. From the classics to the Mercedes-coupe in the 210 and 124 body. There is something to compare with. Vesta is Lohan's level. At the same time, Lohan has better suspension. The service is not cheaper, I have been serving the best auto parts store in the region for 15 years, I represent the prices.
PS: For me VW T-5 is the best car ... or Starex

[smart ass]

Rapid starting price 430? !!!!! are you from 2014? When I watched the rapid, the minimum wage was 792 rubles in the configuration of which you would not wish the enemy. And I watched it six months ago

[mvg]

Rapida starting price 430?

In the winter I was going to buy, a little deceived, Fabia, in the same class as Vesta. RAPID class C. Several salons were invited, just come. As a result, used Stareks added to his trade wind. About 15 years the second car in the family is a micrik. It is difficult to change from the bus to a small car.
// In Russia, the price of a new Skoda Fabia car from an authorized dealer was 419 - 000 rubles, the car was presented for sale in 639 trim levels. //

[smart ass]

On the comparison of Fabia and Vesta, you can end the conversation due to its futility

[mvg]

On the comparison of Fabia and Vesta, you can end

Vesta and Fabia are of the same class. Class B. This is an axiom. Engines from 1,0 65 l / s to 2.0 l TSi up to 200 l / s. Same as POLO

Don't you know that 20 years ago the international concern EADS was created, which later became Airbus?
And Germany and its Daimler-Benz Aerospace AG also have an equal share in it.

And yes. learning materiel.
DASA was Germany's largest arms exporter. ....
and Germany's contribution to the successful launch of the European space rocket Ariane. In addition, the company was the main contractor and subcontractor in the production of many scientific satellites, space projects, including the Columbus ISS module.

What now?
Like this:
EADS is the sole shareholder (100%) of Airbus SAS, a company manufacturing passenger, freight and military transport aircraft. The concern also owns:
100% Eurocopter (helicopters).
100% EADS Astrium (satellites).
50% ATR (turboprop aircraft).
47% Dassault Aviation (fighters).
46% Eurofighter GmbH (fighters).

Having a share does not mean developing yourself)))) India won a share in many of our projects, but that does not mean that they developed it themselves.

What now?
Like this:
EADS is the sole shareholder (100%) of Airbus SAS, which manufactures passenger, cargo and military transport aircraft.

Military transport aircraft, in terms of technology, lag behind fighters, if anything.

47% Dassault Aviation (fighters).
46% Eurofighter GmbH (fighters).

This is just a fraction - Germany itself does not have the technology necessary to produce a fighter of the level of advanced countries.

You have already been written so many times about your militant ignorance that any reasonable person would have learned to think with his head before writing ...

It was you who wrote to all of Haifa - that "There are no calibers, these are all cartoons shot at Soyuzmultfilm." )))
Then they wrote the same thing about Caliber, you generally deny everything that Russia can produce. Due to the intransigence of Russophobia, even Bandera are having a rest in comparison with Haifa.

[SovAr238A]

Those. company MBB, which later became DASA, Having merged with two more aircraft manufacturing companies - ceased to be a manufacturer of combat aircraft?
Typhoon - no?
Although production was distributed among the participating countries, did Germany cease to be an aviation country from this? Moreover, all the tests of the aircraft were in Germany - and all the latest versions are also tested and flown in Germany, in Munich ...
They did the same with the excellent Eurojet EJ200 engine ... And MTU is a full participant in the development and production of this engine and a fully automated engine management system is their development, which they 100% shared with the rest of the participants.

For this, European consortia are being created so that all participating countries are at the same level of development.

Both ZAZ-968M and Mercedes are formally also cars, but they do not compete with each other.
So in aircraft construction - Typhoon is far from Sushki. The Indians have recently conducted training battles against the British in Typhoons, the result is 18-0 in favor of the Su-30.

And what is not 50-0?
Is the Russian newspaper the correct source of information?

We should note that there were no official comments on the results, since the victory or defeat of the sides was not expected.

https://rg.ru/2015/08/07/sukhoi30-site.html

Even an Indian, one Indian wrote about 12: 0, which caused bewilderment even in the Indian Air Force from his words ...
And then even the Indian press wrote why India buys Rafali, which lost air battles to typhoons, which in turn lost (according to the lone captain of the Indian Air Force) the Su-30MKI? Then you would have bought another 40 Su-30MKIs, but for some reason you bought a rafali?

And yes.
Do you know how the aerial training battles go and what scenarios?

For example, the "balsamic" victories of the Indians over the Americans at the Red Flag were in scenarios 1 F-15 against 3 Su-30MKI, and the most massive and most "balm" was in the ratio of 6 F-15 against 18 Su-30MKI.
And all this without radars.
BVB only.

[lucul]

And what is not 50-0?

So this information appears after joint exercises, approximately every 5 years.
And now why are the British on the front page of The Times shouting that "Hurray, we lost to our former colony, a mock battle with a score of 18-0"? No, they do not comment on the loss, just as they do not deny it.
Over the past 20 years, there have been several such training battles, and the Indians won in Sushki.

Once again - why 18: 0?

In 2011, the Indians lost out to the British in a devastating manner.
This is a fact.
The Indians themselves wrote about this.
In 2015, we won the BVB and lost the average fight cleanly.

In 2004 or 2005, we won something on Redflag, apparently there was also one Indian, but I wrote the scripts for you. when 18 against 6 at the same time is a defeat of course ...
But who benefits from it?

And what, the Germans suffered from this? What makes the world's best cars, beer and sausages? That they did not take part in either the Vietnam or the Korean Wars, they did not give the Araps equipment worth hundreds of billions of dollars, they didn’t pump money into a hopeless type of Buran-Energia, Orlyonok, and hundreds of other failed projects. But they are respected all over the world, they do not have Ukraine, Georgia, sprat republics on the border, they do not fight in Syria, Libya and the Caucasus.

I understand that your default is "Katz offers to surrender."
But the level of technology of the country manifests itself precisely in the military sphere, as the most critical for survival, and not in consumer goods - in the form of 200 varieties of sausage, or who has a more luxurious carriage (popovka).
But you are far from this understanding - you have been invested in the subcortex since childhood that the loan interest will decide everything. But this is far from the case.
Vaughn Fidel Castro died a natural death of old age, despite the billions spent by the Zionists on his murder, despite hundreds of attempts on his life, over the past 50 years.

[mvg]

What nonsense ... Think like in North Korea. Let people starve, but there is a vigorous club and 12 political camps for hundreds of thousands of people.
I don't care what tanks, ships and missiles we have, if there is nothing to eat.
And about military technologies: they should be displayed in civilian life, but something will not be displayed in any way, a mirror is bad (curved) or a differential.
Have we got an advanced heavy industry? Or something else advanced. Well, there are turbines, civil (and military) shipbuilding, aircraft manufacturing, are there any developments in construction? Microelectronics? Where is the Russian Federation among the leaders?
PS: What does Castro have to do with it? Do the Zionists know they spent a billion on his assassination attempts? De Gaulle also has over 100 assassination attempts, so what?

By the time such a tank is created, Armata will already have a 152 mm gun.

And a blaster on the roof

The 152mm workings remained in Kharkov!
As for loading and layout!
The boxer / hammer was on the way out. A plant was built for it. The pre-series workers are still standing at the KhBKM and even in 2005 they rode at the training ground. Quite working cars!
P.S. The sycentricity was laid back in the 80s in the hammer / boxer. Even on that element base!
When working out, the unmanned turret brought an overwhelming amount of problems. Especially when driving through the forest! Therefore, in the final version, it acquired a body kit made of armor that prevented branches from entering the shot supply system. And protected from small fragments and bullets at the end!
P C.2. The tank turned out to be over expensive even with the alliance.
The amount of titanium just went off scale. 7, the BTU support suspension was not really perceived. That, in principle, such tanks did not differ in agility. Armata is in the same category!

You are clearly not describing a tower but a carriage layout.

[dgonni]

Well, if feng shui? That same and yes! Although a lot has changed since the Boxer!
The tank was really breakthrough. Even a pancake read the instruction manual. Space for those times. Some 20+ sensors for firing and countering.
In my opinion, something was from space. On the tower in terms of communication.
YES! Pre-serials started and fired normally in the 2000s! Agility is certainly not 64ka or 72ka!

And if I accept the T-95 as something new in Omsk! That Armata is a palliative and wild sawing the dough with Tagil! What, however, they all their lives and were engaged in sawing the loot pushing semi-working equipment into the army!
In fact, in his entire life, Tagil has not made a single pocket machine!
It was and is a plant for the mass production of a mob tank. T-90? This is a piece of iron with fire control systems installed at 64/80 much earlier!
Who has been to landfills knows!

Where are 64ki on the peat bog? There 72e sit on the belly immediately!
BUT! If stone and mountains? Here the 72ki goose is out of competition!

And that is interesting! 64ku there just tagil filled up with stories. However, like Peter 80koy!
64ka was the base! On which NORMAL crews and commanders were trained!
After 54/55 and 62? This is space!
Even 64a! And 64b? This is for a company and above a stupidly incomprehensible tank which they could not master!
Red-faced leitenants did them at once in any situation!
Competent battalion commanders selected lieutenants from Kharkov and Omsk and piled up training on them.
The illiterate tried to get out on the former knowledge.
Youth have always won!
In the ZGV 500 km, the march with firing of 64ki was perfect.
With regards to 72ki! This is ersatz!
Any platoon lump knew that!
It was simple in terms of exploitation, but it was never a front line tank!
P.S. 64 b / b and 80 b are tanks for which a pro crew was needed.
72ka, the extreme series also allowed tractor drivers to roll.
But it has nothing to do with combat effectiveness!

[figwam]

This is the only tank that goes to service in the Arctic! It takes 52 seconds to warm up)

[dgonni]

52 to warm up? Come on ! Open the instructions and read!
At minus 30, you get tortured!
No, maybe in a minute and a half. But the turbine is out after that. No problem! If there is no fire!
Although unlikely!

[dgonni]

Come on! Well, let's open the manual for the mechanic drive and talk about it!
Handsome men!

[The leader of the Redskins]

And what does Omsk have to do with it? There, after all, not commanders, but engineers were released!

[dgonni]

And they were taken in bulk by platoon commanders and rembats in FGP!
For the tower and the concept of the turbine, well, when the 80s went!
Or do you think the 80s were easy?
At first there were a lot of flooded and damaged turbines in the 80s.
By the way! Somehow, in one moment, the old shots left after 64x and then 80x!

Here he is a handsome former in the Czech Republic and a battalion commander with a star. Oops! Figs draws a tank for you.
In my opinion, by the middle of the 75th in the FGP, the old personnel were gone.
Well, they began to send smart fighters.
And if you spilled oil at 54ki when you put it in? That is his mother and so is it.
In 64ki, the cooling system immediately clogs.
And on loess soils in Germany, this is an unambiguous overheating and the end of the engine.
While they taught the fighters to lay the rugs correctly when refueling, they were worn out.
In this regard, the place of filling with oil 64ka is not a fountain.
Without a mat, how not pour oil and the wind falls on the radiator. And considering the ejection cooling system? Even more so.
Not simple in the plan.

Once a tanker from near Omsk boasted to me that in a T-80, when it was being driven for storage along the highway, a Zhiguli 9-ku was overtaken. He says that it was quite possible to accelerate downhill to 90 km / h.

[dgonni]

On the asphalt? My mezvod in the FGP told me for 120 tons! Although I understood that he was driving somewhere in the area of ​​one hundred square meters.
In terms of revolutions, it simply did not slip away!
Is that so? Yes! 80ka is fast and dynamic.
Tower? Gut. Goose? Gut on the asphalt. Why not drive along the roads of Europe?

What is FGP? I served in the GSVG, but everything was somehow different there and T64 was clearly Mr. even against the background of T54. I did not serve as a tanker, but the tankers were located nearby, and we often crossed paths with them during training.

And if I accept the T-95 as something new in Omsk! That Armata is a palliative and wild sawing the dough with Tagil! What, however, they all their lives and were engaged in sawing the loot pushing semi-working equipment into the army!
In fact, in his entire life, Tagil has not made a single pocket machine!
It was and is a plant for the mass production of a mob tank. T-90? This is a piece of iron with fire control systems installed at 64/80 much earlier!
Who has been to landfills knows!
They won 64 b / b for the prize money!
Because the torsion bars are coaxial and 80ka will never give those hits on the move with the same turret. With the same stabilizer!

Genius, and now try to modernize the "wonderful T-64", hell, you modernize it with such a wretched chassis. Ukropsky damask is barely woven and overloaded.

What nonsense are you writing? Do you think that fools were sitting in the USSR Ministry of Defense? To whom will you tell stories that he can ride with 45 tons without any problems? Or is it an indicator of your pokatushki at the exhibition? Well, it will not fall apart right there, only the resource will be zero. And this is only the first problem. The second is a complex engine, for the repair of which separate specialists are needed. And also a vicious circle - the engine cannot cope with modernizing the protection, the chassis cannot cope with changing the engine. And also a flawed vertical carousel, the tower will be thrown right there.

You, instead of grinding nonsense, would have written on the case. And in general, it's funny to watch another iksperda that considers himself smarter than the USSR Ministry of Defense and starts to take "on show" they say whether I rode a T-64. Firstly, there is no T-64 in Russia, and secondly, almost no one in the world uses the T-64, unlike the T-72/90. And here you are fighting in hysterics with a typical Ukrov "vyvsevrete".

Quote: dgonni

Tagil he is so tagil for life!
Shove the bullshit into the part but it's kind of cheap.

So it is not Tagil's fault, but the USSR Ministry of Defense - which, when switching to the T-64, laid the concept of tanks of the first and second lines. Because even the USSR did not have the money to re-equip completely on the T-64 of the basic configuration. Therefore, Kharkov made the first-line T-64, and Tagil was tasked with making a "second-line", simplified and cheap version of the T-64 - for the internal districts, the Asian and DV theaters.
But Tagil, as you know, did not pull the Kharkiv product. Or he simply did not want to tinker with a "foreign" product (EMNIP, sw. M. Svirin wrote that in order to organize the production of the T-64, Tagil demanded unrealistic - to carry out modernization at a cost of a third of the new plant and stop production for two years). And he rolled out his "objects" instead, of which the result was the T-72 - a cheap and massive second-line tank. As the USSR Ministry of Defense wanted it.

[dgonni]

Well, almost so. The question is that Tagil simply did not WANT and could not use 64ki technology. Therefore, I pushed 72ku. What then backfired on the union with terrible problems in logistics. As for spare parts and OMS. Morozov spoke about this already. Instead of a mobilization 64ka with an engine by the great-grandson of the V-2, we got a completely different tank.
P.S. And at the end of the union there was generally trash and frenzy. For there were 4 main tanks in service at once! 64BV, T-72B, T-80BV / U and the cherry on the cake T-80UD birch!
The zampotechs were completely out. And if you also remember the T-55AM of all series that were also in service with the extreme T-62e. That the zoo was just resting in comparison with the tank units of the USSR Armed Forces.

For chassis 80ki 152 was redundant! But the recoil of the weapon and general concepts, in principle, in my opinion, skated on it. In terms of tank ballistics, the weapon came to the boxer well-rounded!

An excerpt from an article published on VO 12.11.18/XNUMX/XNUMX

According to the plans of KNDS, the main development work on the program of the Main Ground Combat System will start in 2019 year. By the middle of the decade, the designers will complete the design, and then an experienced tank of a new model will be built. The first half of the thirties will be spent on tests, refinement and preparation for future mass production. Thus, the stage of research and development work in total will take about two decades, if you count from the moment of the formation of the joint venture.

Or do you have information that work on this tank has accelerated tremendously? Or did you mean one gun on one tank?

[NDR-791]

In any case, we have completed these developments a long time ago and they are in the tables until better times, I think so. maybe it will be possible to put on the Armata (and not even necessarily on everything), but as I understand it, they will first figure it out with the engine.
Attempts to introduce 152 mm guns on domestic tanks
The first tank with an 152-mm LP-83 gun was the “292 Object” of the Leningrad Kirov Plant and the Transmash Research Institute, created on the basis of the T-80BV tank. Due to the financial difficulties of the end of the 1980 and the beginning of the 1990, in the autumn of 1990, only a single prototype tank was created. In 1991, tests began with test firing, during which a significant superiority of the 152-mm cannon was revealed compared to the main tank cannon in the 125 caliber mm 2-46. In particular, this concerned a larger one and a half times shot pulse with an approximately equal rollback of the gun, which allowed, without significant modifications, to install the gun on the T-80BV tanks, significantly increasing their firepower.
However, in the 1990s, due to the underfunding of the armed forces, the 292 Object did not pass all tests. In the future, the 152 mm LP-83 gun should have been used on the 477 Object Hammer, and its equivalent, the 152 mm 2 83 gun, on the 195 Object Black Eagle.
“The 477 object” The Hammer did not receive development due to the unfortunate location of the ammunition and was soon closed.
For the “195 Object” “Black Eagle”, a new 9А2 cannon with a 83 mm caliber was created at the Ekaterinburg Plant No. XXNX. The first tests of the gun 152А2 took place on the tracked platform B-65, where it showed the same high results as the LP-2. The direct shot range was 83 m, armor penetration - 4 mm of homogeneous steel, which exceeded 83А5100. However, in the 1024 year, the work on the “2 Object” “Black Eagle” was stopped in favor of the new universal armor platform “Armata”.

2А83 on a B-4 gun carriage during trials

[NDR-791]

Prospects for implementation and options for using the gun 2А83 on the tank T-14
It is quite safe to say that a variant of the T-14 tank with the 152-mm gun will be created. As early as February 2016, the T-14 military acceptance procedure began, including the version with the 152-mm gun. Rosatom's specialists are already working on the creation of super-powerful explosive sub-caliber shells of caliber 152 mm from depleted uranium.
The problem of the low amount of ammunition in the 152-mm version of the tank can be solved by placing additional shells in the turret niche.
Since the T-14 has its own radar station (radar), in the 152-mm version of the tank is proposed the use of guided projectiles such as "Krasnopol". In this scenario, the T-14 is more like the SAU than the tank, so it is possible that the 152-mm version of the T-14 in the documentation will have the abbreviation "Combat Artillery Machine" (BAM).
From the above, we can conclude that the main weapon for the T-14 tank will remain the 125-mm 2-82-1-gun. With a 152 caliber mm 2A83 gun, a limited series of tanks will be produced - to perform narrower tasks as part of a tank group. The scenario of using 152-mm guided projectiles is possible when destroying enemy fortifications, delivering high-precision strikes on armored vehicles or enemy air defense systems over a range of 20 km or more (the Krasnopol 2K25 projectile allows this). Therefore, the T-14 tank with the 152-mm cannon will not be the main version of the tank on the Armata platform, but will serve as a highly specialized fire support vehicle.

Pre-production copies more
rolled in the 2000s on the ranges!
Armata? Smiled!

[dgonni]

At 80k, a solution was tested with impulse, rollback and rollback of the gun. Neither MZ nor AZ was there at all! It didn't fit in any way!
There was a question in the fundamental decision of the possibility of installing a gun of this caliber on a tank!
Once again for the apologists for the exclusiveness of Armata!
A plant was under construction in Kharkov under the Hammer!
Pre-production copies are still on the KBCM!
The hammer was made on 3 types of chassis! 64 GBTU scored 72 as well as expensive. The last option was on the running 80ki.
But again, the semi-support and long suspension is not a fountain.
And the presence of titanium in huge quantities made it golden even in the realities of the union!
Although I personally kept the instructions for it in my hands in 92 it seems like. They were already expected in the Kharkov school!
The union collapsed but not our fault.

but the 85mm gun turned out to be the limiting one for the design decisions and the safety factor incorporated in the tank.
we do not have such information about modern western tanks. time will tell. now one thing is clear - an increase in caliber will lead to a significant reduction in ammunition storage while maintaining dimensions.

The problem is different: who will load the gun? 130mm - the loading unitar will still pull, but larger calibers are unlikely. It is necessary to introduce either separate loading, with an appropriate rate of fire, or install a machine gun. And here only Leclerc is ready for this.

Here is an Abrams with an XM291 smoothbore gun and an XM91 autoloader

ACS with AZ 152/155 mm pile, fully automatic and partially. For example, Archer.

AZ is a simple mechanism, implemented in the 60-70s of the last century. In general, no developed country has a breakdown with it. But AZ, in addition to its advantages, has significant disadvantages, so it is not put on a part of equipment or semi-automatic mechanisms are used.

Nevertheless, only ours (+ Chinese clones), the French on Leclerc and, almost a copy of it, on the South Korean K2 are in stock with machine guns on tanks.
The fact that everyone has development is about nothing. We need to talk about them when they go into the series. And self-propelled guns as examples of automatic cannon, as well as ship machine guns - as an example of tank automation are not suitable.

This is not a big problem, at the cost of losing the rate of fire it is quite solvable, but the armor is no longer solvable, and even 125 mm tanks will be quite tough, so without a new tank 130-140 mm are meaningless, it seems to me.

The fact is that bridges and roads simply cannot withstand its mass ... ... As a result, the military leaders responsible for the modernization of the US tank forces, as reported by the American media, are skeptical about the new Abrams.

Judging by the ratings of many generalissimos here, thousands of likes were given to clowns and complete zombies, it is not surprising that poking your face into this fact will cause a corresponding stream of minuses. It would be a shame if these minusers gave me pluses. That would be offensive.

Here's another read, not from heaven:
https://www.satworld.org/t33673-topic

[Vladimir_2U]

But Israel Military Industries (IMI) have been requested to develop a 140mm APFSDS shell for the Swiss 140mm L47 gun program for their Leopard.
..... has been cooperating with Switzerland with the purpose of mounting the 140mm gun on the (then in development) Merkava 4 in case NATO decided to adopt a new caliber.
Not many may know but when the designers of Merkava 4 talked about modularity, they were not only speaking about the armor

But the gun did not come out of the testing stage, only the barrel and the projectile were fired for ballistics.

It is emphasized that the Swiss 140-mm smoothbore cannon is currently a test gun and has not yet been fully developed, and if we take into account the threat reduction since the conception of this gun, then it is likely that it will not be put into operation in the foreseeable future.

[ironic]

That's right, the development was canceled, for the reasons I voiced, but the tower was counted on for an option, which I was actually talking about, and what are you talking about?

[OgnennyiKotik]

Leclerc was originally designed for 140 and 120 mm cannon. On the Leopard 140 mm was installed. There are no particular problems. An automatic loader is installed with a 130-140 mm cannon. On Leclerc AZ there is also for 120 mm.
In my opinion, it will not go into the series. It makes no sense. There are already a lot of anti-tank weapons, and it is very expensive to introduce a new standard for ammunition.

on 140mm on the Leopard, information is too scarce to judge how problem-free this option turned out to be.
I didn’t find anything on this prototype.

PS
found on the English site

[ironic]

The Merkava 140 was also created for the ability to put up to 4mm, therefore such a huge tower, but the problem is that then only separate charging, and this is too stressful in battle. I no longer talk about the option of a 140mm machine with a unitary one because it comes out gold and takes up space. How many of these will be able to fit into the automatic loader? But the intermediate 130mm looks still acceptable.

[Alf]

Quote: Flood

but the 85mm gun turned out to be the limiting one for the design decisions and the safety factor incorporated in the tank.

A 34-mm LB-100 cannon was stuffed into an experienced T-1, everything was almost normal, although the springs of the front rollers were "very unhappy" with such a "gift".

[dgonni]

At the end of the 44th beginning of the 45th, they stuck the tower and a hundred square meters at the limit of the linear diameter.
The question is that the chassis did not stupidly hold.
Overloading the front rollers was off the charts.
44ka also did not stretch.
Here is Morozov and created a masterpiece in the form of 54/55. Eternal pancake tank!

It is possible, they were designed immediately for the option of installing more powerful guns.

Germany will create a 130-mm cannon for a promising MGCS tank "capable of withstanding the Russian T-14 Armata"

Let them first demonstrate how resistant it is to the cannon of Anglican tanks, and then we will look at the German ones.

[Knell wardenheart]

The Germans have long been playing their subtle, far-reaching game - even now their romantic cooperation with the French can be explained by the sequence of moves in this game, and the very design of such a product - Germany wants to gradually squeeze the US out of Europe and take the security of the EU into its own hands - even if in an alliance with the eternal European opponents. It is not stupid people who are sitting there who understand that Europe will not survive either the next world conflict affecting its territory, or the prolonged position of a forced game on the American economic field. The line of benefits for the EU and the US has diverged dramatically for 20 years now, and the dynamics of this indicates that this gap is growing. We have to do something about this - so they are doing, calmly and systematically preparing the ground for a future European army instead of a bloated and abstract NATO.

[Simargl]

Quote: Knell Wardenheart

The line of benefits for the EU and the US has been diverging a lot for 20 years

20? For the last 20 years, Europeans can at least do something against ... while thinking and even ... planning ...
And so - in 1945 it was already clear to whom where what is profitable.

[Knell wardenheart]

While the USSR was alive, the United States was not linked to the issues of defense and security - the issues of doing business by European states. And for this reason, such things as the sale of a nuclear reactor to Libya or elements of Bull's super-powerful ballistic weapon to the same Iraq were quite normal. In fact, the "deal of the century" with gas pipes for the USSR also did not provoke a batthert from the United States. Europe was free to conduct business and business, to trade in weapons and technologies within a very wide range, the Americans understood that if the screws were twisted, then the De Gaulle's variant, which is called a "knight's move", could happen, and the USSR would only play into its hands. After the collapse of the USSR, this line continued for some time, maybe up to Yugoslavia, maybe up to 9/11, it's hard to say, but at some point the United States began to often click a whip and say - so, we don't sell this, we don't do business with these, here it is impossible, it should not be. And every year, as the "axis of evil" expanded and US sanctions-operations expanded, the issues of solidarity of restrictions also expanded. Europe was doing quite well with Gaddafi and Hussein and Assad, and now there is what is called ashes and refugees - and all this should naturally infuriate their authorities more and more.

True, so far events are developing very slowly, because no one wants to be the first to go under the tractor on the one hand, on the other hand, the EU is bloated, and the prospect of breaking the defense alliance with the United States may cause a crisis or even a split in the EU. So they act extremely delicately, which is called summing up the letter.

This is ridiculous: the maximum it can do is to launch light satellites (theoretically strong) and scare the neighbors.

Quote: Knell Wardenheart

Yes, in fact, the "deal of the century" with gas pipes for the USSR - also did not cause a batthert from the United States.

Until normal technologies with LNG were pulled up, it was possible. Now there is something and how to transport and store.

Quote: Knell Wardenheart

but at some point, the United States began to often click a whip and say, so, we don't sell this, we don't do business with these, this is not allowed, this should not be

The lobby has always been there. The first 20 years after the war - so the Europeans did not have their own opinion, in fact, in foreign policy.

Quote: Knell Wardenheart

And every year, with the expansion of the "axis of evil" and the expansion of American sanctions-operations, the questions of solidarity of restrictions also expanded.

The problem is not in the collapse of the USSR, but in the fact that the globe is over.

Quote: Knell Wardenheart

Europe was doing quite well with Gaddafi and Hussein and Assad, and now there is what is called ashes and refugees - and all this should naturally infuriate their authorities more and more.

Here, too, one can argue: they entered the country on business (pumping oil), but wanted more. And the struggle for oil democracy began. Bribes are cheaper than taxes. And the consequence of the war is anarchy.

Quote: Knell Wardenheart

on the other hand, the EU has bloated a lot, and the prospect of breaking the defense alliance with the United States could cause a crisis or even a split in the EU

Once again: Nata is a structure for protecting trade and sales markets!
As a consequence of the end of the globe, the current events take place:
- Globe for the EEC, USA and China is not enough,
- the United States unleashes wars to reduce the tax burden and simplify access to resources,
- Bonus to the previous point - refugees in the EEC who undermine the economy,
- The UES, not getting proper access to the feeding trough (plundered resources and sales markets), are beginning to look for alternatives.

Quote: Knell Wardenheart

So they act extremely delicately, which is called summing up the letter.

Do you think they themselves have no influence agents? Otherwise, the same refugees in the camps rotted away from old memory.

This philosophical fake for suckers has long been a reason for ridicule.

Ага.

 Lectures on the Philosophy of History, published in 1837:

“... wie denn überhaupt eine Staatsumwälzung gleichsam im Dafürhalten der Menschen sanktioniert wird, wenn sie sich wiederholt. So ist Napoleon zweimal unterlegen, und zweimal vertrieb man die Bourbonen. Durch die Wiederholung wird das, was im Anfang nur als zufällig und möglich erschien, zu einem Wirklichen und Bestätigten. " [... as in general, any coup d'etat is made in the minds of people as if sanctioned, if it is repeated.

So Napoleon was defeated twice, and the Bourbons were expelled twice. By repetition, what at first seemed only accidental and possible becomes something real and confirmed.]

Literally, of course not, but the spirit of the statement is as it is: the first defeat of Napoleon is the tragedy of the nation, the second is a pattern.

... it is better to believe Hegel.
How many Iraqi wars were there? And they attacked Russia / the USSR twice (however, it is not entirely appropriate here - this cycle of wars has been dragging on since Napoleonic times and has not yet ended, it seems)?

[ironic]

You don't need to believe anyone, you need to know. No Iraqi war is a repetition of the previous one. It's the same with Russia and the USSR. PMV Russia lost miserably. Civil war is not a victory, but a disaster. The Napoleonic invasion was never repeated in Hitler's. How many wars has modern Israel fought? None is alike and the results are not the same. You can find some features hinting at similarity in historical cycles, but this is more homeomorphic than direct similarity. Everything is fine, of course, only Hegel's "pure thinking" is actually not accessible to man, the truth, in principle, is not comprehensible, and a semblance of objectivity is achieved only by statistical research, and then with an accuracy ...

[Simargl]

Quote: ironic

What are you trying to prove to me now? That there is no absolute repetition. I agree.
But if we take into account what Hegel said (and even how he was altered), everything fits together: the first time, WWI, Russia was trampled, the second time (WWII) had to be trampled on ... but it turned out differently ...

Considering what Hegel said, it’s better not to take it into account. Convergence is obtained at infinity.

And who will do that on the tank?

[3danimal]

130mm is long enough. And a unitary projectile is still possible.

[Klingon]

Maybe a promising electrochemical weapon will be put on the Armata, there the caliber is the same, the whole chip is in a special explosive that ignites an electric arc. As a result, the power of shots with the same caliber will increase several times. But these are of course new technologies and all the related limitations.

Not interested, a rail gun is better

[Klingon]

will not work. a railgun requires tens of times more energy. Are you suggesting that Armatha carry a mini-power plant with him on the joint? In addition, in view of the high energy and speed of acceleration of the blank of the projectile, the guides will have to be changed after every five shots due to material wear.

[3danimal]

BAE Systems have a ready-made sample of the railgun, and there we are talking at least dozens of shots.

[Maxwrx]

It's a pity the tables with comparative performance characteristics were not laid out. I've seen them. So the 130 mm cannon has no competitors. 140mm complicates the whole structure too much (not to mention the rate of fire), and 130mm does not require such significant modifications that you can even put it on a leopard 2.

[ironic]

When finished, buy the right to manufacture and replace 120mm with a Merkava.

[Hermit21]

Too lazy to read everything, how many times was the T-14 buried in the comments?

[Bogalex]

There is no strength to read everything below, especially since it is mainly about politics, not about weapons.
But what I would really like to discuss with those who are "in the subject" is the choice of caliber.
We have exaggerated 152 mm.
Ten or twenty years ago in the West, everyone was talking about 140 mm.
Today (not literally) the Germans have submitted 130.
It is clear that there is a complex of contradictions between power, cost, ammunition load, operational complexity, production capabilities, etc. etc.
So after all, there are available methods of how to choose the optimal caliber in modern conditions, or is everything based on the notorious finger rushing from floor to ceiling?
