Experts evaluated the Manul infantry fighting vehicle with a 57-mm cannon as a means to counter enemy forcing water barriers

Reports are being published that a variant of the promising Russian BMP "Manul" with an automatic gun of 57 mm caliber has appeared. It's about this option. weapons, which is installed on an uninhabited module created by the Burevestnik Central Research Institute. In addition to the 57-mm cannon with 80 rounds of ammunition, the module is equipped with a machine gun (caliber 7,62 mm) and an anti-tank missile system.

The Manul infantry fighting vehicle itself is actually a development option for the BMP-3. The BMP is capable of speeds up to 70 km / h on the highway and up to 9-10 km / h afloat. This makes it possible to implement the UTD-32 engine with a power of 660 hp, located in front of the tracked armored vehicle.





Assessing a new version of the domestic infantry fighting vehicle capable of transporting an airborne squad, experts note a significantly increased capability in terms of hitting targets. The 57-mm cannon allows you to defeat various types of armored vehicles, as well as hit targets such as airplanes and helicopters. Also, the Manul infantry fighting vehicle with such weapons can be used as a technique to counter the landing of sea / river assault. For example, it could be effectively used against enemy groups that are trying to cross the Dnieper using high-speed boats and floating armored vehicles. One "Manul" can easily cover a fairly long coastline in an amphibious direction.

Considering that the machine from the Kurganmashzavod is mobile and maneuverable, we can say that it can easily change its position for firing at the enemy, who intends to land on the coast and create a bridgehead.

      Perhaps the experts will throw slippers on me, because I myself am not a tanker at all and all communication with the "armor" is based only on their fire support and as a passenger, but still I dare to speak out.

      All this, of course, is good, but, as practice shows, the troop compartment is used exclusively as a "barn-warehouse" by the "tractor drivers" themselves and as a "trunk" by us when we move on it "on horseback". I had a chance to ride inside only in training - the impressions are so-so ...
      In this regard, this is what if we leave the minimum cargo space, and use the vacated volume and carrying capacity to increase the BC and improve the reservation?
      57 mm, of course, is a good thing, but BC 80 shots - crying...
      All the same, no one ever travels inside this "pan" in the troops. But there were cases when an infantry fighting vehicle, having shot a BC, became, at best, a "movable wall".

      I understand that it’s not with my demobilization mind to invade the high spheres of concepts for the development of armored vehicles. But after all, our BMPs (at least those with whom we had to closely "communicate" - the BMP-2, much less than the BMP-1 and "just look" at the BMP-3) have two main "sores" - armor and ammo. And cut out the unnecessary internal troop compartment.
      I repeat, not a specialist at all, but maybe it won’t be an infantry fighting vehicle at all, but some kind of light tank?

        Very interesting opinion from the practice, thanks. We constantly see infantry on the armor, but somehow we don’t think - why is that?

        It seems to me that the point is the security and comfort of the fighting compartment.
        If it is a box with token protection and terrible conditions inside, the infantry will prefer to ride on armor, despite all the obvious risks and inconveniences of such a method of movement.

        So, this is a question more about the quality of technology, and not about the design.

            shoot the boats going through the water and move back. All that is required of him. Rockets are not needed there, only if someone is shot at on the other side, and the range of the guns should be enough with a margin. You can put several Terminators and block a larger section of the coast. But it is well armored and protected from enemy fire than the BMP.

      100mm is, as it were, not a "Rapier" even once, and ballistics and range are not a fountain, and the rate of fire is not satisfactory for hitting maneuverable targets. 30mm apparently does not satisfy the range of destruction and the power of ammunition. on a helicopter at a distance of 8 km is not effective. 57mm is the golden mean. and the ballistics are good and the power of the ammunition is sufficient and the rate of fire is acceptable and the range is up to 14 km (in the export version). apparently so. bully

      It is rather an attempt by the plant to shove its products. You look at least some order will slip through. In any case, this is all ersatz, not mass production. The absence of unification and a variety of equipment at the front will be a curse for the Rembaz.

      Have you seen recently in the Zaparozhye direction how our guys came under auto-detonation shots? Still need an answer? It is not possible to make a remote detonation on a 30mm cannon. But at 57mm there is. Moreover, they made it back in the 50s, for the ZSU-57-2.
      Second problem. A 100mm land mine will not smoke out the enemy because of a concrete wall. If the room without windows is not an option. A 57mm armor-piercing shot is guaranteed to pierce.
      Actually, I think that here we need a tandem of equipment with Bakhcha and AU-220.

        1. The Swedes have been doing it for a long time and without problems under their good old 40 mm guns for the L70 Bofors gun, and there are two types: a) A PFHE projectile with a proximity fuse that reacts to a target nearby.
        b) Universal projectile 3P with programmable detonation time, either detonating near the target (proximity fuse) or detonating on impact (contact fuse). A sort of station wagon - type 3P stands for 3P = PPP = Prefragmented, Programmable, Proximity-fuzed. http://www.naval.com.br/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/3P.pdf https://www.baesystems.com/en/product/fuze-3p-ammunition It is also available for 57mm caliber (naval guns): https://www.baesystems.com/en/product/fuze-3p-ammunition

        And the last thing: we also did something secretly and even used it like in the Donbass (see the video https://www.yaplakal.com/forum28/st/50/topic1592758.html?hl=#entry59581462 ), but that’s all hung...

        - it’s not enough to shoot, the main thing is to hit at such a distance! Window dressing in tank biathlon, with static shooting, in greenhouse conditions, at much shorter distances, is an example of this. Without a NEW SLA, you will only scare in areas, with a random cover / defeat. As a result of such a "fire" you will be left without ammo in front of the enemy, or you will rush to the rear to replenish your ammunition. The enemy completed the task - took your position. recourse

    If the goal of an infantry fighting vehicle is the safe delivery of personnel closer to the front line, then it should fulfill this goal, and not be an under-tank. Where increased firepower plays a cruel joke (less armor due to the BC kit, and the combat module - probably at least a couple of tons for everything that is essential for an infantry fighting vehicle and engine). At the same time, it will not provide a significant increase in infantry firepower with a conventional gun, without programmable detonation shells and other expensive body kits. (Again, weak armor, probably the lack of mine protection).
    As for me, an infantry fighting vehicle should have at least anti-mine protection MRAP +, well, armor holding from Zu23, up to 30mm. But in any case, this is a transport, and not a full-fledged combat unit. If the tank can still withstand ATGMs and something like that, then such a Beha will fly away or be immobilized. And the javelin operator can set it on fire from a boat.

      But we understand that we do not need quantity, but quality. AU-220 is more powerful. And in the light of the arrival of Bradley and Western tanks, the AU-220 looks more profitable.

      This is the main misunderstanding, what kind of module was manuled for, if with 57mm LSHO57 (AGS57) then this is the BM Epoch, if the gun is from Stalin's Hellish Thresher, then this is Derivation. For Derivation, there are shots with a remote fuse from the 50s. And in general, these shots in the warehouses of the air defense and the Navy are like shit in mouse holes. The epoch module is designed to destroy infantry, there is an active defense. It looks like Manul is the Epoch that they planned to put on Kurganets.

      There are no universal machines. Even in order to cut down a tree, there are at least two types of machines, and even more specialization for combat vehicles. A 100mm cannon is good for the city, you can break walls, destroy opornika with 30mm. It is better to destroy infantry with shells that give the maximum number of fragments over a large area, such as AGS. So, a 57mm low-ballistics Light Assault Gun is a 57mm automatic grenade launcher that bombards a large area with a hail of shells. A 100mm cannon will not give such an effect, there are few fragments of a rumble, a lot of land in the air.

For one, one gap in front of the BMP tank and the optics are over. Blind and therefore less dangerous. WHERE IS DERVIATION WITH UAS.

Here and in the Donbass is a test in battle.

      Do you propose to roll back in development a hundred years ago? Will the infantry walk? Or on trucks? As in 1941 before the appearance of mechanized units in the Red Army. Then we won’t bite our elbows and the General Staff will curse that they listened to us.

    It is very interesting to observe how the enthusiasm and preferences of the audience and "experts" change depending on the momentary situation. When the battles for Mariupol were going on, everyone already choked that we needed super-protected assault infantry fighting vehicles with super armor and super tanks with 152-mm guns (or 203-mm). Indestructible, indestructible and carrying a platoon of infantry. The weight of this bullshit. Then the enthusiasm for maneuvering abilities went when the war went into the field. Now special bmp to protect the Dnieper. Tomorrow, it seems, we will again remember that floating equipment is needed.
    You may still wonder what kind of UNIVERSAL armored vehicles are needed for a real war in modern conditions (including with WMD). What kind of infantry fighting vehicle is needed to swim in the mountains and in the desert, and in the mud, and cross the rivers, and in the city and anywhere. Moreover, in a mass war, to fight so that the infantry behind the breakthrough tanks has time, since the war is not won as we are conducting the NWO.
    And everything else is just the correct organization of the battle.

    BMP is an infantry fire support vehicle, firepower is very important for it. The transport function is an armored personnel carrier.

    According to modern canons, the difference between an infantry fighting vehicle and an armored personnel carrier is the presence of a gun.

    40 100 mm shots and 500 30 mm

    And all this in the fighting compartment with the crew and troops behind cardboard armor.

    So what? Will you cross the hedgehog and the snake again, try to make the BMP as the main battle tank?
    If you are interested, then according to the combat regulations in the field, infantry fighting vehicles were supposed to move 300 meters behind the infantry line, and the infantry - 200 meters behind the tanks. And the tanks were supposed to go 100 meters from the firing shaft. And BMPs were never supposed to go like tanks. And move from cover to cover and support tanks and infantry with fire.
    But modern couch strategists, after all, they are the smartest and think that the BMP / BTR should go ahead of the infantry. Well, when you fight with the "barmaley" hiding in the settlement, it still rolls, but in the fields, when there is a full-fledged war, something immediately goes wrong when the tactics of actions against the "barmaley" are transferred to a full-fledged combined arms battle.

    Again, weapons are adjusted only for the fight against armored objects. And how will this gun behave if it is necessary to destroy the field fortifications?
    If we take the history, then the 57-mm ZIS-4 cannon for arming the T-34 was more effective against tanks than the 76,2-mm F-34, but the weak high-explosive action of the shells was indicated as the main drawback. Where the 76mm projectile successfully coped with the wood-and-earth emplacement, the 57mm fragmentation projectile showed much less effectiveness.
    The 100-mm BMP-3 projectile is orders of magnitude more powerful than the 57-mm one in terms of high-explosive action and will cause much more damage when it hits the target. Here is a stone or panel concrete house turned into a long-term firing point. A 57-mm fragmentation projectile will not penetrate a wall. An armor-piercing chamber shell of a 57-mm wall can penetrate a wall, but a small explosive charge in a sufficiently large internal volume of a house will have an insufficiently high-explosive effect. A 100-mm projectile, even with low ballistics, due to the high filling of its explosives, will be capable of both destroying brickwork or a concrete panel, and causing great damage inside if it breaks through a wall and explodes behind it. In the explosion of a projectile with 2-3 kg of explosives, even in a room with an area of ​​​​15-16 meters, it will smear everyone who is there on the walls.
    Therefore, all these dances with tambourines around the 57-mm gun are incomprehensible.

    The 57-mm cannon allows you to defeat various types of armored vehicles, as well as hit targets such as airplanes and helicopters.


    Do you mean planes and helicopters standing on the ground? After all, the car has neither a radar nor an optical-location station. Why write bullshit?

      The side and roof armor is the same as for the BMP-3. Only the frontal differs (in the direction of lightening, which means deterioration of the protective properties, since the overload of the front end due to the engine shifted forward)

    What is the article, what is it about?

    "Manul" is supposedly the body of the BMP-3 with the "Epoch" module. The era is produced by KBP (on the first photo).
    The Burevestnik pushes through its 57mm Baikal module (in the second photo), like the one on the tree-air defense, and it is too big for a light infantry fighting vehicle.

    Neither is mass-produced yet.
    What does it have to do with overcoming water barriers? In principle, this should be a universal weapon for infantry fighting vehicles.

    This makes no sense.

What is Manul, FIG knows, it seems that the Epoch, only without active dynamic protection, is as light as possible to swim confidently.

    There is no point in propagating fighting compartments precisely on the "Manul". no Manula. You can try them out and evaluate the effectiveness and range of applications on the "three-ruble note". There are more opportunities, unfortunately. And "Manul" must be brought up and also tested, and so far with the excellent proven BMP-3 module. So you can evaluate the correctness of the adopted layout decisions and the effectiveness of weapons options.

    Yes, for firing at high-speed small-sized maneuverable targets from a long distance, the ammunition load is small. I will join those who talk about strengthening armor, abandoning the landing force, and increasing the ammunition load. But this is already "Derivation -SV", something like that. And if this gun also has good accuracy at long distances, then you can use it well not only for infantry without entering the zone of destruction of anti-tank weapons, from 7-10 kilometers or more. Like such a highly mobile rapid-fire mortar / cannon.

    The fight of caliber 30-57-76-100-125-130-152 will never end (the fight between sword and shield is eternal) why 57 mm derviation
    1. There are no active search engines on board, the basis of passive detection is therefore poorly detected by the enemy.
    2. AUS allows you to adjust the ballistic flight of the projectile, increases the chance of hitting the first projectile.
    3. Combating MBT projectile with a programmable detonation, a distance of up to 4 km, detonation of a projectile remotely in front of an armored combat vehicle, fragmentation of optical surfaces, with a successful detonation, the demolition of attachments, the operation of dynamic protection, at least partially. Undermining over the trenches defeat the enemy personnel.
    3.UAS for drones has more consumption, but the chances of defeat are higher, subject to external target designation, and most importantly, the cost of defeat falls according to the cost-effectiveness criterion.
    4. t 34-57 was discontinued due to the high cost and long production cycle of barrels with a unique barrel rifling.

    Just not long ago I read an article here on VO about the shortcomings of an uninhabited remotely controlled weapon station for infantry fighting vehicles and MRAPs, especially about its uselessness when firing from a cannon at airplanes and helicopters, about the inconvenience of reloading, about unreliability - and on you, another article about how he is beautiful and necessary. And at the same time, the BMP again - the one that was created to overcome water barriers in the water, which means it was deprived of full-fledged armor. Are there many such infantry fighting vehicles in the NWO to swim across the river? Absolutely not! All over bridges and pontoons.
    Another push through of an unnecessary army of vehicles, and the necessary ones - well-armored and protected with light weapons and ATGMs are again "not needed".

    It seems to me that there is confusion in the photo and in the article. With 4 pieces of ATGM Cornet, they showed a 57mm (as an option) low ballistics gun or 30mm 2a42. And they showed two separate modules with 57mm C60 (one anti-aircraft, the other for infantry fighting vehicles).

    Yes, it should be clearer in the description, where 57mm, a gun with low ballistics is clearly not against armored targets.
