Far Eastern motorized riflemen will be re-equipped with modern BTR-82AM

Motorized rifle units in the Far East will be completely re-equipped with modern armored personnel carriers BTR-82AM, the corresponding decision has already been made. This is reported by the military department.

The Ministry of Defense decided to re-equip motorized rifle units and formations of the Eastern Military District on the BTR-82AM. The equipment will be supplied as part of the state defense order as it is produced. The entire fleet of obsolete armored personnel carriers BTR-80 and BTR-82 is subject to replacement.

As reported "News", referring to the military department, rearmament will take a long time and will depend on the fulfillment by enterprises of the order for new armored personnel carriers. As previously reported, the BTR-82A is produced "from scratch", the BTR-82AM are converted armored personnel carriers BTR-80, of which several thousand have been produced since 1984. The BTR-82AM variant was put into service in 2013.

The BTR-82A and BTR-82AM use anti-splinter protection made of multilayer synthetic material on the inner surfaces of the hull, as well as an anti-mine floor covering. In addition, the seats in the armored personnel carriers are made on a special suspension. The armored personnel carrier is armed with a combat module with a 2A72 automatic cannon of 30-mm caliber and a 7,62-mm PKTM machine gun. In addition, all armored personnel carriers are equipped with an additional protection kit, which includes armor plates and lattice screens.

Modern, but not really.

Because the military budget will not be able to handle thousands of "Boomerangs" ...

No, 82A is about the same as the T-90, not Brezhnev.

do not tell my sneakers, it is much worse than the BTR-90 sprout, which has not yet been adopted for service, although that one, by today's standards, is practically outdated

Wipe your eyes, it's not about better, worse, but about the time of creation.

Duc, there was also such an option. But I didn't give it a ride either ...

82A is roughly the same as the T-90

The T-90 is a deep modernization of the T-72, also about nothing. BTR-80 was designed in the early 1980s.

How interesting!
And what, somewhere the Leopards grappled with the T-90 in battle !?
And with what score did the fight end?

Why invent duels? In Syria, both those and those Abrams fought with the broads, T90, in terms of indicators, beat everyone with a huge advantage.

The boomerang was shown at the Russia Arms EXPO in 2013, and the BTR-82AM is still being supplied to the army. The machine is at least modernized, but to be honest, it is not new. What's wrong with our MO?

Showed this does not mean adopted. And now with Boomerang:

The first deliveries of prototypes are to begin in 2019. However, the completion date of the tests was shifted to the end of 2021 [

And what did you decide to buy, test samples?

- When will combat and support vehicles based on the new unified Typhoon, Boomerang, Armata and others platforms be put into service with the Ground Forces?
- In 2013 we expect the first prototypes of this technique. We expect mass deliveries to begin in 2015.

Here's what I don't understand: BRDM with enhanced protection and tanks with "panorama" were sent to Serbia for FREE. They themselves have a naked APC and "blind" T72. Whose soldiers do we protect more? Well, can’t you provide your soldiers?

So how much did we send to Serbia? a couple dozen. So this is for prestige, so that the Serbs feel that Russia remembers them, since such equipment and such nishtyaks have been driven to them. And for our army, we need thousands of new combat vehicles, so it is not possible to put new items on everything and immediately. But let's hope that our troops will soon receive all the new items, if not in full, then in a quantity close to this.

[Marachuh]

Experience says that gifts and money to "friends" do not solve anything! It is the economy and the army of your own country that decides. You will be strong, you will be feared and respected. And if you are weak, there will be Poland, the Baltic states, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Georgia, Central Asia and so on. And how many gifts we sent there, we have not yet come up with such figures.

Moreover, I am more than sure that in a few years this equipment will join the ranks of NATO armored vehicles. Serbia will be suppressed anyway, and we cannot oppose anything to this.

BTR-90 with "melon" would have been even better, but, unfortunately, it was not accepted into service.

.....- Russia - BTR-90 was adopted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation by order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation No. 324 of June 9, 2008, becoming the first new Russian wheeled armored personnel carrier put into service since the creation of the Russian army. As of June 2009, he was absent from the troops, with the exception of an experimental batch, since the state defense order until recently included only the production of the BTR-80A. In connection with the revision of the concept of weapons of the ground forces, the actual putting into service is in question; the development of a conceptually new armored personnel carrier began.

[garm]

Better than nothing, but worse than we would like ...

[hydrox]

Nothing, for use in the "10 years without war" mode it was still possible to use it (under the Supreme Command of Medvedev).
But NATO on its gangway completely ignored the "M-you's red lines."
Or are we going to beat the alliance, which is supposedly going to apply clause 5 of the Charter in relation to Ukraine from 3-inches?

Much more modern ... The machine does not meet modern requirements for this kind of BT. But we have what we have.

I wonder if other cars meet these most modern requirements? It would be interesting to see a comparison with Patrias, Boxers, Strikers, LAVs, Pumas. Are they modern?

[Adimius38]

and it's modern .....

[Bradley]

Shove 2A72 and immediately became modern? In general, it was reasonable to put such a weapon on such a platform, where it dangles like the one in the hole, from which there is no accuracy. Only shoot towards the enemy, not the enemy ...

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The 30mm 2A72 cannon provided a quantum leap in the growth of firepower. Now it is a worthy opponent for light armored vehicles of the enemy.
Do you want to go back to the 14,5mm KPVT?

[Bradley]

Well, if only the enemy comes close, then yes.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Not many vehicles will be able to withstand a hit from a 30-mm cannon, and if they can, it will be strictly head-on.

I had something else in mind.

[Castro Ruiz]

Well, the BTR-82AM is a bit of a stretch.
BTR-90 Rostock was beating bi differently, but ui.

[Alexga]

Who knows how resistant the cannon in the module is to firing failures. On the BMP-2 there were problems with this.

[Bobik012]

She never stood on the BMP-2. There is 2A42. And there were no particular problems.

[Alexga]

I translate into an accessible language. What failures have you encountered with the 2a72 and how often did they occur? During the operation of the 2a42, there were often problems with the destruction of the cartridge case in the chamber. So the question is clearer?

IMHO this question is similar to recently in the topic about PPSh, then the trunks are overheated, then the stores do not change - in the end it turned out that usually no one remembers such problems, those are within the marriage and the error stat

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I am also familiar with the problems at 2A42, but I don’t understand your comment. What is it for, if in essence you have nothing to say?

[poquello]

Quote: Sergey Alexandrovich

Also familiar with the problems at 2A42

how often?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

At least twice, which is in memory, in addition, there was a gas contamination of the BMP when firing bursts.

[poquello]

Quote: Sergey Alexandrovich

Faced at least twice

for what period then? would put them on helicopters if such a problem took any serious place?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I have no idea what is there with the helicopters and how they are installed there. In 1985, there were problems with the guns on the BMP-2.

[DMi]

Normal finishing of what is available. Cheap and fast. Critics somehow forget that a thermal imager, a new OMS and digital communications appeared in this modification. And this is quite a modern level. Just as important as the caliber of the gun or the thickness of the armor. And the anti-splinter coating is quite an effective solution, as shown by the experience of operating in Syria.
