Innovative infantry fighting vehicle AS-21 Redback presented in South Korea

The South Korean defense industry has made another leap in the development of defense technologies. The innovative AS-21 Redback combat vehicle was presented in South Korea.

The Army Recognition portal reports.

The manufacturer of the new infantry fighting vehicle is Hanwha. It positions its brainchild as one of the most modern armored fighting vehicles on the military market. This technique combines advanced technology and firepower. It is also characterized by high mobility and power, as well as an improved protection system for the crew and troops.

The AS-21 Redback owes its name to a spider from Australia, which stands out for its durability and strength.

The armor of this infantry fighting vehicle is capable of protecting people inside from various threats, including non-standard explosive devices and anti-tank missiles. In addition, its active defense system intercepts enemy ammunition flying towards the vehicle before it hits it.

The main armament of the AS-21 Redback is a 40 mm automatic cannon. Its missile armament is capable of hitting heavily armored vehicles.

The car is capable of moving both on city streets and off-road. Its suspension provides smooth movement, making combat missions easier.

The latest battle management system, which is equipped with the BMP, provides the crew with real-time information and communication capabilities.

The South Korean manufacturer has already demonstrated its equipment at various international venues, including at the ADEX 2023 exhibition held in Seoul this month.

Lots of words and almost no facts. How much engine power, what weight, what ATGMs, what KAZ, etc.

Yes, when you read this:

..The South Korean defense industry has made another leap in the development of defense technologies. The innovative combat vehicle AS-21 Redback was presented in South Korea...

only one, but logical question arises - “Who and where verified in practice that this is a South Korean leap in the military-industrial complex, and not a banal advertisement to promote a product on the market with untested properties and results?”

Probably in combat with weakly armed rebels, such a product will look above all praise - as in the case of the use of Bayraktarov in the war of Azerbaijan with Nagorno-Karabakh units - but the use with an equal enemy must be proven on the battlefield and not in advertising articles.

The more innovative, the more tempting $300 FPV drone operators will be.

[Andrey Moskvin]

In vain you are so.
There is an important clarification about KAZ.

active protection system intercepts enemy ammunition flying towards the vehicle before they hit her.

All the numbers were shown back in 2019, the Australians drove test samples for several years and decided to buy this super-heavy infantry fighting vehicle with a tank engine for themselves, because the German puma turned out to be worse. And the article is addictive, as if an employee of the developer company wrote

The weight of this piece of iron is 43 tons.
Anti-ballistic armor, perhaps only the forehead, top sheet.

We also have a lot of equipment that has no analogues in the world.

Damn, how flawed and funny are these liberal liberals! Now, if there is news that something is wrong with us, then they flock like flies to guano and joyfully assent. At the same time, any attempts to compare our mistakes with similar mistakes somewhere “out there,” “in the countries of pink flamingos,” they immediately begin to buzz vilely: what does America-Germany-France have to do with it? You need to look at yourself and not move the needle!

But as soon as any news appears about something ridiculous in the camp of our “civilized” enemy, these same liberal bastards immediately begin to buzz in unison: oh, damn it, we have this too. they immediately turn the tables on news that somehow discredits the image of a “fair-faced and civilized” foreigner and their rule “what does this have to do with it?” for some reason it doesn't work anymore

You are flawed, guard

[bk0010]

That is, you consider them flawed because they care about what is bad in Russia, and not over the hill?

The Koreans decided to squeeze out their share with the number of models of equipment.

All modern new infantry fighting vehicles and tanks from exhibitions. without modification with electronic warfare (like the new T90) and without Kaz with protection in the upper plane (or some other gadget) are already outdated. Since a cheap and accessible way has appeared to burn even the most sophisticated equipment with a drone, which even a Zulu can be taught to control.

None of the weapons of the military-industrial complex of South Korea have ever undergone a truly baptism of fire. Just pictures. Again, too large a percentage of foreign cooperation. German guns, English self-propelled guns, French thermal imagers. Somewhere the chain breaks and that’s it, there is no product.

[501 Legion]

Without a barbecue it is not relevant)))

Testing the car in “combat” conditions doesn’t require much intelligence. They drive it to the training ground and fire at the vehicle using the range of weapons that it should, in theory, withstand. Then they take readings, make calculations and finalize them. To do this, it is not necessary to participate in some kind of conflict, as the majority imagines. In Russia, the same “crash tests” are carried out.

[Oleg Apushkin]

The Jews had something similar, the same slogans are the best tank, etc. but they burn like tractors. For decency, you need to illuminate the performance characteristics.

No specifics. Therefore, everyone reserves the right to think out their own thoughts :)))
Koreans have long occupied first place in the world in inventing super-duper hyper-technological - but useless equipment. Like toilets that wipe your ass for you, suitcases that move behind you on their own, or pillows on bus windows. Now what? If the driver gets sick, will this infantry fighting vehicle hang around behind him and offer him a handkerchief?
Knowing the Korean eye-catching high-tech crap, I wouldn’t be surprised.

[Iris]

Judging by the fact that the US Marine Corps is already studying the possibility of purchasing 10000 copies, the car is excellent. The Marines only asked to call their modification redneck. Otherwise, they say, there is no way.

[Aleksandr_35]

Well done southerners, they know how to make good weapons

[Rhino]

BMPs are getting higher and higher, in the video they drive past a tank, like an M48 with a height of 3.2 meters, and this one is 40 centimeters higher.

[Yaroslav Tekkel]

It’s not innovative, and it’s not South Korean, what are you talking about? There was an Australian competition for infantry fighting vehicles. It was won by the South Koreans with their K21. Moreover, they won only on the hull; the debate on the tower is still ongoing.
