Kazakhstani multipurpose armored vehicle "Barys 8x8" was called not ready for adoption

66

The multipurpose armored vehicle "Barys" 8x8, which has completed state tests, is not ready for adoption by the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan, since it has a number of major design flaws, according to the Kazakh web resource Ulysmedia.kz.

According to the portal, the four-year tests of the combat vehicle have ended, judging by the statement of the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan, without comment, "Barys" is ready to be put into service. However, the vehicle has numerous shortcomings identified in the testing process and they are reflected in the acts of military tests. However, the High Command of the Ground Forces prohibits their disclosure.



According to the available information, the car is still "damp", often breaks down, and its repair is very expensive. Claims are made to the chassis, in particular to the suspension, the combat module, which is unable to fire with full ammunition, as well as the software. At the last stage of testing, all this was recorded, but representatives of Kazakstan Paramount Engineering, who developed Barys 8x8, carefully hide this. They need the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan to take the vehicle into service and place an order for further production. It is reported that without a government contract, the company will face bankruptcy.

"Barys" 8x8 is designed specifically for the Kazakh army, positioned as a multipurpose armored vehicle equipped with advanced technologies, capable of performing the functions of both an armored personnel carrier and an infantry fighting vehicle. The declared characteristics: length - 8 m, width - 2,8 m, height on the roof - 2,4 m. Combat weight, depending on the configuration - up to 28 tons. Max. speed - 100 km / h, cruising range - 500 km. Crew - 2-3 people, landing - 8 people. A remotely controlled combat module Ansar, developed in Kazakhstan, is installed as a weapon. The module is equipped with a 2 mm 72A30 automatic cannon, a PKT 7,62 mm coaxial machine gun, and smoke grenades. Provided for the installation of ATGM.

The end of the Barys 8x8 state tests was reported in mid-October 2021.

      How much time, money, wasted! There have been so many conversations from Kazakhs, here on the site, but in the end the car is rejected not because there is no money, not because politics intervened, but because the car does not satisfy the customer.

        Buy a ready-made technology, and then test it for another 4 years. The question arises, what can you experience in a finished armored car, which, according to Kazakh media reports 5 years ago, was considered one of the best? The obvious conclusion is that such technologies can only be in Ukraine. What could be more profitable how to justify the allocation of huge funds for the acquisition of technologies of the world brand of Turkey and South Africa, and in fact to buy Ukrainian cheap stuff, which everyone has long abandoned. Earlier, the same scheme with the acquisition of the "Belarusian" technology of the ACS of the SVO has already been rolled out, and the dissatisfied were simply fired. Why not repeat it now with Barys.
        Interestingly, earlier, on a less significant occasion, Deputy Minister K. Maermanov received 8 years in prison, but then it was about Israeli technology, which was head and shoulders above Barys. It is surprising that now the media do not recall this sad case where the general, due to threats to his family, was forced to incriminate himself.

        What's with Boomerang? He cost Russia a gift and passed the tests without any comments?

        In Kazakhstan, not a penny of state money was spent on the construction of this armored personnel carrier, this is a project of a private company.

        And in Russia, only the salary of the director of the state plant where Boomerangs are harvested for the entire time of testing has already exceeded the budget of the Kazakh firm several times.

        And the result is the same. So far no

            And before that, ten years or even more what they were doing ?! Can I find out?

            The third world war will end, and this Boomerang will pass all the tests))).

              So who does the director receive his salary from? From the owner or the state? You were already touched above that the Kazakhs are gut, a private company is doing (South African development and their license), and our radishes are "sawing state money." Government orders? So the Kazakhs created their enterprises specifically for the state order. The article says that in case of refusal of the MO, the company is bankrupt? But the GAZ group is unlikely to go bankrupt if our Ministry of Defense refuses. So we have the most capacious part of the market for state orders. Let me tell you a secret - most companies want to get into government procurement. Kamaz - it has the main owner of Rostec, a state-owned company, it is stupid for the state not to buy from its company. GAZ is on government orders? So name a competitor to Gazelles, the new Lawns? They make the best product from Russian manufacturers in their segment. The development is being carried out by order of the Ministry of Defense, of course, money is allocated for this. I will reveal one more secret - this is accepted all over the world.

          Where does the information about the salary of the general director of the plant come from? Are you a bank employee, or do you work in special services?
          Where does the information about the budget of the Kazakh firm come from? Are you a shareholder, or do you work in accounting there?
          Something a lot of noisy blah blah blah from you on the forum ..
          Boomerang, therefore, is brought to mind, so as not to get it, like the Kazakhs. And for your information, the amers also had a program to create a new generation of armored vehicles. The money has been spent, NOTHING has been done, the program is closed. But all the same, the Russian Federation is the wretched country))) you can not even answer, I know in advance what you will answer)

There are no such restrictions in the KZ ... there are bulk offers on the market - CHINA, KOREA, South Africa, Slavakia ... all independent suppliers ... put the module - whatever you want from BMP-2 and =, BMP-3 and harder ....

      The tower at the back has a characteristic bevel. Tankers call it zaman or snacks. I've heard such names.
      Due to the fact that, hitting this area of ​​the tower, a shell, a splinter, the bullet will ricochet under the base of the tower and into the hull from above, where the armor is minimal.
      It's strange that they did that.

      The armored personnel carrier is good, both in terms of armament and security.

      Of course, it is difficult for a private company from Kazakhstan to pull such a project alone, but they are trying.

      In the place of the authorities of Kazakhstan, I would do everything to bring this BMP / armored personnel carrier to a series.

      You can allocate money, for a part of the shares of this company, or somehow, but I would have delayed the project until implementation.

            The population of Kazakhstan is 20 million. At the same time, 40% do not live in cities, read in the steppe. Kazakhstan is a small state.
            Dozens of subcontractors are needed to create a banal armored personnel carrier. Those. a whole system of factories and technologies. What Kazakhstan has never had, is not and never will be. They can and will be able to master the screwdriver assembly of a South African car or a Turkish one, never develop their own.

        According to the authoritative BMPD blog, the assembly of armored vehicles by the South African Paramount Group at an enterprise in Kazakhstan, as is often the case with small-scale assembly production of military equipment, turned out to be "gold" in value (the above figure is $ 1,3 million per unit Marodeur / "Arlan" ), and Kazakhstan's defense ministry quickly lost enthusiasm for this "national war production." The disadvantages of the Mbombe 8 (Barys 8x8), described in the material, clearly indicate that the creation and development of a modern wheeled armored personnel carrier is a rather complex technical task that is difficult to solve for relatively small companies like the Paramount Group, which, moreover, lack the proper experience in creating vehicles of this class. , unlike MRAPs and other relatively simple types of armored vehicles.

          In order to land the troops, you still need to get to the landing site - and this is just the problem - overloaded front axles, poor handling, increased fatigue of the driver and crew, lack of amphibiousness and visibility, side radiators, missing or unreliable weapons. So in most cases , after a long march, the motorized infantry will turn into infantry and it will no longer have to land :).

            If you follow your logic, the Boomerang should float like an ax, but it is not. So there is no congestion on the front axles. The automatic module partially compensates for the weight of the engine and transmission. This is me about the concept lol .

                State tests of the Boomerang armored combat vehicle will be completed in the next year and a half. This was announced by the general director of the Military Industrial Company (MIC) Alexander Krasovitsky.

                “We have completed preliminary tests. We are finishing two samples, and they go to state tests. I think they will be completed within the next year - one and a half years. The military-industrial complex is proceeding in accordance with our roadmap, which was approved by the Deputy Minister of Defense, "he said in an interview with TASS during the Army-2021 International Military-Technical Forum.

                According to him, the company has already received the necessary documents to promote this project to the foreign market.

                “Two samples are now 80-85% collected. We made them easier to make the cars float. Moreover, for the K-16 and K-17 modifications, we have already received advertising and export passports and can promote them abroad. The company is already starting to make such proposals, because this is a very serious chassis, "said Krasovitsky. (C)
