The Ministry of Defense decided to re-equip the Black Sea Fleet marines on the BMP-3F

Black Sea Marines fleet will soon be armed with the new BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicles - a naval modification of the BMP, designed specifically for the marines. The decision to supply equipment to Crimea has already been made.

The Ministry of Defense decided to re-equip one of the battalions of the 810th Separate Guards Marine Brigade, stationed in Crimea, with new BMP-3F. The equipment will be supplied as part of the state defense order. The military department plans that the new BMP-3F will significantly increase the firepower of the marines, replacing the BMP-2 in service in the units.

As they say "News", citing sources in the Ministry of Defense, servicemen of the 810th Marine Brigade are well acquainted with the BMP-3F, because it was on its basis that practical tests of new equipment were carried out.

Note that the BMP-3F has only recently begun to enter the Marine Corps in sufficient numbers. The first new equipment was received by the marines of the Pacific Fleet, the batch of BMP-3F went to the Far East. Now the turn has come to the Black Sea, where reinforcement is necessary due to the current situation in the region.

BMP-3F - "naval" modification of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, distinguished by greater buoyancy. It is equipped with a lightweight water-reflecting flap, a telescopic air intake pipe, and water-reflecting flaps on the tower. Able to move on water with waves of three points, and with 2 points to conduct aimed fire. The speed afloat is 10 km / h, with the engine running, it can be in the water for up to 7 hours.

This BMP is able to swim across the English Channel. Good technique.

[Voltsky]

would you take the risk ?!
Or so bravado, and a little ode to domestic technology?

[Machito]

I would take a chance. I am an old horse. At my age, what to die, what to sneeze. And young I was generally immortal. By the way, in the Donbass, my peers rallied. The youngsters have gone weak today. However, if you remember Turgenev, it has always been that way.

[Voltsky]

so we will write the old man, in the vanguard and in which case, use it as a buoy to strengthen seaworthiness. (don't judge the joke here)

The Marines would have to bring a planing car to mind, and not a car for crossing the river in the roadstead.

[Machito]

During the Second World War, old people also did not hide behind the backs of young people.

[tatarin1972]

Do you know the tactics of landing marines on an unequipped coast ?! Have you ever gone sailing with a large landing ship, dear ?!

Strange - Turgenev wrote "Mumu", and a monument to Pushkin was erected ...

[Romario_Argo]

no need to swim, there is now a tunnel

[Denis812]

Do you think that the Brits are the same stupid people as the Georgians and will calmly let any armored vehicles rummage through the tunnel? :)
Well, God forbid, of course, but something is doubtful.

What to take from them, overland :)
BMP - it's not a ship, the storm is not terrible!

But on the other hand, our people are strong and brave! If necessary, they will swim without a BMP.
PS: with an elegant movement, the BMP turns into ... a submarine!
The snorkel just needs to be longer!

[Voltsky]

we can actually repeat very serious fighters to them and in a storm, either under a snorkel or afloat, it is easy to get from Murmansk to Iceland by BMP-3F.

[serezhasoldatow]

Ours went to the BRDM-RHM through the Kerch Strait, and it’s not a sin to wave across the English Channel on this one.

[tatarin1972]

As early as 61, the 1988st Marine Brigade sailed on a PT-76 across the open ocean from Nizhnaya Titovka to Kutovaya.

[Trunk]

He simply said that this technique is capable of crossing the English Channel. This fact follows from its characteristics. He was not going to do it himself, he does not urgently need to check it.

[Blackgrifon]

Quote: Voletsky

would you take the risk ?!

Considering that the BMP-3F is actively used by the Indonesian marines, and the machine itself has been wooed by its native marines for over 20 years, what doubts can there be?

[Voltsky]

what do you hear about the planing platform

[loki565]

Do we have the means for an over-the-horizon landing? If not, then there is no point in such a platform either, as the samples of the United States and China show, high water speed significantly reduces the main performance characteristics on land, including armor and maneuverability.

[Barberry25]

At this stage, it's not needed for nothing, a maximum in the future, a company in each brigade ... and that is doubtful ... it's easier to use Serna

[Barberry25]

Chamois carries up to 45 tons of cargo, so that both BMP-3 and BMP-2 and a tank will fit, and if we need "two Kurganets", that is Dugongi

[Barberry25]

1) we in ANY case make landing ships, therefore, according to modern military theory, the landing is landed on landing boats, each of which is designed for 1 tank or BMP.
2) the same Americans created a planing landing vehicle, the problem is that it is SO VERY expensive and SOOOCHENT healthy, in other words, except for capturing the coastline, it is not suitable for warfare, so they abandoned the EFV with 46 km / h in favor of ACV from 11 km / h .. I remind you that bmp-3f has a speed of 10 km / h

[tatarin1972]

Did you mean ramp?

[svp67]

A reasonable decision, the BMP-3 is exactly what is needed for the Marine Corps, in any case, this is the best that we have for it, but I would be more happy if they took the BMP-3M to equip the marines and, in general, if Kurganets- 25 "

Better late than never...

I was happy if they took the BMP-3M to equip the marines

so it is for motorized riflemen ...

Also, the new car is distinguished by an improved arrangement of the crew and troops (motorized rifles), it has more space, and people are simply more comfortable to sit, since the troop compartment has been completely rearranged.
American analysts from the research corporation RAND have included the new BMP-3M "Dragoon" in the list of the four most powerful BMPs on the planet. For example, in terms of specific engine power, the Russian novelty surpasses all foreign-made infantry fighting vehicles.

So far, they do not have it either ... alas

[Barberry25]

and so in fact they accepted .. just the love of the Moscow Region to pull the cat by the balls and waiting for Mriya .. makes itself felt .. they are waiting for Kurganets, but taking into account the tertiary role of the MP in the structure of the troops, they will wait for it for another 10 years, in case of a successful After completing the tests, the entire quota will be chosen for themselves ... so it is optimal for the Marines to demand a bmp-3f and bt-3f with reinforced armament. well and Octopus to a heap.

Indonesia in 2019 ordered another 22 BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicles and 21 BT-3F tracked armored personnel carriers. If we consider that since 2013 more than 50 units of BMP-3F have been in operation, then the car has clearly proven itself well.

[Grits]

Interestingly, is such a nice bonus attached to the BMP-3F? Or are they still thinking about whether to release it?

[Nikolaevich I]

"The ice is broken, gentlemen of the jury!" - as our beloved O. Bender would say! Or ... "the tears of the BMP-3F fans melted the ice in the hearts of the Ministry of Defense officials!" ... Gone are the days when only the Indonesian marines rode the BMP-3F on the "seas-on the waves" and teased in the direction of the Russian marines! So let's drink, friends, for the BMP-3F celebration in the Russian Navy ... for the joy of the Russian marines!

[serg.shishkov2015]

a couple of days ago on Zen there was an article from Mirror about the Sprut-SDM - the Angles are in panic - the Russians are going to cross the English Channel with these tanks! So let's drink to Sprut-SDM too!

[Denis812]

can't find it, so would appreciate a link.
It is extremely interesting to read, especially if it says why should Russians force the La Manche on tanks? Those who make decisions, they are grandmothers and without tanks they transfer back and forth.
And you and I hardly have anything to do on the tank at Piccadilly :) Maybe pull the beer, but it's not bad here either.

[Alexander Pseudonym]

We need to appoint Ragozin Minister of Defense. This is where it would turn.

[Denis812]

I don't think he will agree.
Firstly, not everything has been stolen in astronautics.
And secondly, the country's security is serious. For jambs with defense, they can organize a helicopter accident. And then bury with tears in my eyes in the Kremlin wall and pain in my heart :)

[Alexander Pseudonym]

How is Mr. Serdyukov doing? Before joining the Ministry of Defense, he successfully traded furniture.

[Denis812]

I don't know, but what, are you his friend or what?

[Sergej1972]

Before joining the ministry, he was a pretty good head of the tax service.

[serg.shishkov2015]

I cannot help with a link, usually I write comments on Zen freely, but here I demanded authorization, there on the screensaver Octopus floats between the islands, simultaneously firing from a cannon, and it seems there, they are afraid of our attack on 404 with the help of these tanks, in general- Meshina impressed!

[serg.shishkov2015]

Angles prophesy kirdyk to their tanks! A 125mm cannon that can probably fire rockets too! and a deadly 7,62mm machine gun!

[Kaw]

If in the BMP-2 the landing party rode from above, then on the BMP-3 it is better to "go" 20 meters from it. Because the armor is almost the same, but there is a large amount of large-caliber ammunition inside. And it's better not even to think about driving inside, the exits are extremely inconvenient

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

We'll have to take care of your upbringing (education). If it comes to that, then inside the BMP-1 or 2 inside it is generally impossible to move for a long time. The front location of the engine provokes a strong buildup on the off-road, and the troops deployed closer to the exit there experience difficult-to-transfer loads. Therefore, there is either part of the landing on the armor, or inside at most four people.
In the Troika, the ride is much more comfortable and, moreover, there riding on the armor also allows you to stay under protection.

[Shadow041]

BMP-3 in Chechnya, in exceptional situations, took on the duties of tanks, quite effectively supporting their infantry with 100mm land mine fire. The BMP-2 lacks firepower for this ...

[Denis812]

With all due respect, the BMP-3 cannot take on the duties of a tank if you were in Chechnya.
Because it's okay for you to follow the tank. A tank is a tank.
And it's not very fun to go for the cardboard. And she's painfully playful. But yes, it works better at home, the gun is faster from the tank only armor. A beha when stripping is more necessary.
But once again - this is NOT a tank and cannot tank.

[Shadow041]

The BMP-3 is not a tank, but in exceptional cases it was used instead of tanks, for fire support, and it coped well with it. It is definitely better than the BMP-1, or BMP-2, proven in the war

[Azimuth]

Well, thank God.
It remains only to develop and deliver a wider range of vehicles on the BMP-3F chassis to the Marines, this is reconnaissance, and an anti-tank version, and an air defense system, and a self-propelled mortar.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

We already have a self-propelled mortar, this is a 120-mm 2S42 "Lotos".

[sanya]

Can you force Sivash on them?
