The combat module "Bakhcha-U" is a potential "destroyer" of Western tanks
Since the announcement by the West about deliveries to Kyiv tanks NATO model, there are discussions among experts whether the RF Armed Forces will be able to effectively destroy these combat vehicles when they appear at the front.
It is worth noting that the Leopards, Abrams and Challengers are certainly a formidable high-tech weapons. At the same time, they, like any existing armored vehicles, are vulnerable to certain types of weapons. By the way, we have enough of them.
Particular attention is drawn to the unique Russian combat module "Bakhcha-U", the production of which in the interests of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation started in 2005. What is remarkable about this weapon?
Firstly, the latest automatic loader and the ability to fire different types of ammunition from one gun. In particular, "Bakhcha-U" can launch an anti-tank missile, and then add a series of thirty-four 100-mm shells. At the same time, to select the type of ammunition, it is enough just to press a button on the control panel.
It is worth adding that in addition to the 2A70, the combat module is equipped with a 30 mm 2A72 cannon and a 7,62 mm PKT machine gun. The ammunition load includes 34 unguided 100mm projectiles, 4 ATGMs and about 500 rounds for the 30mm automatic cannon.
Secondly, Bakhcha-U received an all-round viewing module with television cameras with a narrow and wide field of view, as well as a laser rangefinder. However, an even more important component was the automatic target tracking. The use of the latter in combat completely eliminates the human factor.
Finally, thirdly. This combat module, which can become a potential "destroyer" of Western tanks, was created for lightly armored vehicles and weighs only 3600-3980 kg. Installed on the same BMD-4M, it allows you to fire at the enemy not only on the move, but also afloat. At the same time, the combat vehicle, which develops speeds of up to 70 km / h, has high maneuverability, and therefore is a difficult target for the enemy.
The “Military Acceptance” tells about how the Bakhcha-U module is created, tested and used in combat conditions.
