BMD-3 based combat vehicles (1 Part) BMD-4

136


Over the years, R & D was started to create a number of combat and special vehicles on the basis of the BMD-3, but for various reasons most of them stopped at the stages of preparing working design documentation and making prototypes for preliminary tests.

From the number of machines on the BMD-3 chassis, put on mass production, we can mention the BMD-4 airborne combat vehicle, 125-mm self-propelled antitank cannon Sprut-SD and the PXM-2 reconnaissance chemical machine. The development of the BTR-MD multi-purpose amphibious armored personnel carrier has also been completed.

Commander BMD-ZK

Preliminary tests commander modification "Bakhcha-K" passed in 1993, the state tests - in 1994, and in 1996, under the designation BMD-ZK, it was adopted for service. The combat crew of the BMD-3K is reduced to five people, radio stations and navigation equipment are additionally mounted on the machine. However, the BMD-ZK was not mass-produced.

BMD-4

Even at the stage of formation of the appearance of the family of combat and special vehicles for the Airborne Forces on the basis of the “90's airborne combat vehicle,” the designers proactively suggested including a “airborne combat vehicle with enhanced armament and defense characteristics”. Its main armament complex would be similar to the BMP-3 (100-mm cannon, 30-mm automatic cannon and 7,62-mm machine gun in a single unit in a double turret) being developed at the same time with the 14-15 t fighting mass. BMD on the six- or seven-chassis chassis - depending on the planned capacity. The project was never implemented, however, the issue of strengthening the BMD’s weapons and unifying it with the weapons of the serial BMP-3 was returned in the second half of the 1990s.

At BMD-4, a single BO “Bakhcha-U” manufactured by KBP is installed.


This time it was a question of a substantial modernization of the BMD-3 with the preservation of the five-rolled chassis and the installation of a double combat compartment with a weapon system similar to the BMP-3. A new combat compartment (combat module) was developed in the Tula Instrument Design Bureau (KBP) as part of the modernization program of the BMP-3. The OCD for the assault landing vehicle with the new unified fighting compartment received the cipher "Bakhcha-U" (which is often referred to as a fighting compartment). KBP turned out to be the leading enterprise in this OCD. Co-executive on the chassis was, of course, VgTZ, where the work went under the direction of the chief designer V.V. Hanakina. The joint work of KBP and VGTZ on this machine was developed from 1997. The experienced combat unit was manufactured by KBP and Tulamashzavod in 2001, and was tested on the BMD-3 chassis.

The 31 December 2004 was put into service with the airborne assault vehicle under the designation BMD-4. In May, 2005 in Tula on the territory of GUP “KBP”, its General Designer A.G. Shipunov solemnly handed over to the commander of the Airborne Forces, Colonel-General A.P. Kolmakov has four BMD-4, and in August of the same year, the 137 th separate parachute regiment (Ryazan) received new machines. The organization of serial production of BMD-4 with the manufacture of new chassis on VgTZ and the gradual modernization of the previously released BMD-3 to the level of BMD-4 during the overhaul was supposed.

Airborne combat vehicles BMD-4. The built-in armament and the combined sights of the gunner and the commander are clearly visible.


Of course, it was not without "friction". Against the background of the generally positive feedback from the Airborne Command, there were complaints about exceeding the BMD-4 mass limit of 13,2 t, which had previously been agreed with great difficulty for BMD-3 (although such a radical increase in weapons could give a much greater mass increase). Intensive operation of the first three BMD-4 in the 137 regiment revealed a number of problems. In particular, there were claims to the “docking of the tower and the chassis” - mainly to the compatibility of the electrical equipment of the vehicle and the fighting compartment, to the narrow temperature range of limit switches, etc. The quality of workmanship of some parts caused a complaint that required improvements. If the paratrooper officers who exploited the first BMD-4, even joked that in the car "you need to provide another place - for a representative of the plant" (and representatives of KBP and VgTZ were always in parts during trial operation), then to the machines of the next serial the parties were already treated much better. From Ryazan, the BMD-4 was transferred to the 76 10th Airborne Assault Division (Pskov).

BMD-4 retained the chassis and the overall layout of the base BMD-3. In the control compartment on the machine axis there is a driver, to the right and to the left of it are two paratroopers, as well as two universal seats, on which the commander and the gunner are placed during the landing. Behind the department of management there is a fighting department with the placement of the main armament and two crew members in a rotating turret. Behind the tower is the troop compartment with three places for paratroopers, landing and disembarking through the aft landing hatch. The engine compartment (MTO) occupies the back of the case.

The 100-mm 2А70 launcher was assembled in the turret in a single block, the 30-mm 2А72 automatic cannon to the right of it, the PKN or PKTM 7,62-mm machine gun to the left. Designers KBP managed to make the construction installation of various-sized weapons quite compact; block weapons has a length of 3943 mm, the width of the axles 655 mm, weight 583 kg. Vertical weapon pointing angles are from -6 to + 60 °.

2А70 is a 100-mm rifled low-ballistics gun with a vertical wedge gate, with the ability to launch an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) through the barrel, equipped with a single automatic high-explosive fragmentation projectile and ATGM loader. The machine gun delivers shots from storage locations to the loading plane of the gun-launcher, discharging into the chamber and removing the spent cartridge case outside the fighting compartment. Accordingly, the automatic loader includes a conveyor, mechanisms for loading, loading and opening the ejection hatch. The frame of the conveyor, in which shots are placed in trays, is placed under the floor of the fighting compartment and can be rotated relative to the latter by means of an electromechanical or manual (emergency) drive. The automatic loader reduces gas pollution inside the car and ensures the loading of the gun during 4-6 c.

ATGM together with the gun and control equipment makes up a complex of guided weapons. In its composition can be used ZUBK23-3 rounds with ATGM 9M117M1 or ZUBK10-3 with ATGM 9M117. The control system of both ATGMs is semi-automatic by laser beam. ATGM 9M117M1 "Arkan" with an armor penetration of 750 mm with overcoming of dynamic protection allows to hit modern main combat ranges at ranges of up to 5500 m Tanksincluding M1A1 "Abrams", "Leopard-2" and others (armor penetration of the warhead of ATGM 9M117 - 550 mm without ensuring the overcoming of DZ, the maximum firing range - 4000 m). The ammunition of the gun includes 100-mm rounds with high-explosive shells: 3UOF19 with a shell 3OF70 and 3UOF17 with a shell 3OF32. The optimized shape of the projectile, some of its relief with an increase in the propellant charge in the ZUOF19 shot, made it possible to fire at a range of up to 7000 m versus 4000 m with the ZUOF17, while the power of the ZOF70 shell of the ZUOF19 shot was increased due to the higher filling ratio, and the accuracy of fire was improved.

The automatic gun 2А72 has two-sided tape feed with automated and manual feed switching. Ammunition includes ZUBR6 ammunition with an armor-piercing tracer, ZUBR8 with sub-caliber armor-piercing and ZUOF8 with high-explosive fragmentation projectiles. The firing range of the 30-mm cannon is up to 4000 m high-explosive and up to 2500 m armor-piercing sabot projectiles. The used links of the ribbons of the gun and the machine gun, the cartridge cases of the machine gun are retracted inside the fighting compartment. The armament complex is designed to defeat not only ground (main battle tanks, armored vehicles, manpower openly and in shelters, fire installations, ATGM launchers, etc.), but also low-flying enemy targets (possibility of hitting helicopters with 30-mm cannon or ATGM ).

The mechanized ammunition's ammunition pack consists of 34 unitary 100-mm shots (including four shots from an ATGM), 350 cartridges for 30-mm automatic cannon, and 2000 7,62-mm cartridges for a machine gun. In addition, there are six 81-mm smoke smoke grenades ZD6 (ЗД6М) for smoke grenade launchers. When air transporting and paratroop parachuting BMD-4 was established reduction of ammunition. This is one of the forced measures of "removing" excess mass, since for a landing it is required to reduce the mass of the vehicle from 13,6 to 13,2 t.

A significant innovation and advantage of the new combat unit was the automated all-daily fire control system (FCS), including:
- High-precision combined (day / night) gunner's sight with independent two-plane stabilization of the field of view, optical, thermal imaging and distance measuring channels, information channel for control of ATGM. The multiplicity of the daily channel is 12x, the range of the measured distance along the distance measuring channel is up to 10000 m;
- panoramic sight of the commander with day-night and distance measuring channels, allowing the commander to target the gunner, as well as to conduct aimed shooting with all types of weapons, except ATGM;
- automatic target tracking, combined with thermal imaging and television channels scopes;
- two-plane weapon stabilizer, which provides the minimum guidance speed 0,02 degrees / s and maximum transfer speed 60 degrees / s;
- digital ballistic computer;
- external information sensors;
- gunner and commander consoles, commander and gunner monitors, control panel.

The combined gunner’s sight and the commander’s panoramic sight were developed by the KBP in cooperation with the Temp-Avia Scientific and Production Enterprise (Arzamas), the Polyus Scientific Research Institute (Moscow), and the VOMZ (Vologda). The creation of an automatic target tracking machine was attracted by NKB VS OJSC (Taganrog), a ballistic calculator, control panels, navigation equipment — MIET (Zelenograd), a stabilizer — SKB PA (Kovrov). So, they did not exaggerate in the KBP, saying that the components for the assembly of BMD-4 “are brought from all over Russia”. The components of the JMA are connected by a single information management system. The MSA allows the commander and the gunner to conduct effective shooting from the spot and on the move (including afloat), day and night, significantly enhancing the reconnaissance capabilities of the BMD-4. The ability to conduct aimed fire on the move for lightly armored vehicles is probably even more important than for heavy vehicles, since it helps reduce vulnerability to enemy fire. On the other hand, an increase in the range of high-explosive fragmentation projectile enables the BMD-4 to support the actions of the paratroopers with fire from closed positions.

In the fighting compartment, there is also a double-gunner sight PPB-2, hand-held doubles of the weapons. All-round visibility is provided by periscopic observation devices TNPT-2.

The unitized fighting compartment is not for nothing called a “module” - besides the BMP-3 and BMD-3, it was supposed to be installed on the BMP-2 chassis, SPTR Sprut-SD (this car will be discussed below) and the BTR-90.

In the front part of the BMD-4 case, the right-hand installation for the RPX74 light machine gun is retained, the left-hand installation for the AGS-17 grenade launcher has been removed. Airborne and fodder systems for individual assault weapons were preserved.

The hull and turret of BMD-4, welded from aluminum armor alloy, remained bulletproof and mine resistant at the level of BMD-3. The tower is made in the form of a ten-shaped truncated pyramid; its frontal projections are reinforced with steel armor plates mounted apart from the main armor. On either side of the weapon installation, 81-mm grenade launchers of the 902В “Tucha” system were mounted on the turret to launch smoke and lighting grenades. Specialists of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Steel, its mechanical part, Tulamashzavod, took an active part in the development of the armored cap of the combat unit.

The installation of a new combat compartment (module) required a number of improvements in the structural groups of the base machine hull. In particular, new pillers (racks) are welded in, and a new sub-bezel ring is installed in the roof of the hull. In addition, when upgrading, the driver's seat, fastening elements for paratroopers' seats, and universal seats for landing the commander and gunner were improved. Some changes have been made to the fastening elements of the personal kit, ventilation equipment, service equipment, communications equipment, spare parts, electrical heating of the seats.

BMD-4 is equipped with a collective system of protection against weapons of mass destruction with a filtering unit and high-speed fire-fighting equipment.

The power unit, transmission, chassis, hydraulic and pneumatic chassis systems are similar to the BMD-3.

The machine is equipped with VHF radio stations P-168-25U (Aqueduct-25U) and P-168-5UV (Aqueduct-5UV), providing radio communications in motion, respectively, up to 20 and up to 10 km, with internal communication equipment and communications P-168 AVSK-B, receiver of satellite navigation systems GLONASS / GPS with the display of data on the monitor of the commander. In the commander version of the BMD-4K machine, an additional radio station and specially equipped workplaces are provided.

Transportation and landing BMD-4 was supposed to be from the same aircraft military transport aviationthat BMD-3. Changes in weight and size characteristics and the general configuration of the BMD-4 compared to the BMD-3 required improvements to the landing facilities. On October 31, 2005, TTZ was issued for the development of landing equipment for BMD-4. This ROC was conducted as part of the creation of unified means of parachute landing of combat and special airborne vehicles with crew and combat crew inside the vehicle. The landing facilities, designated P325 (the main developer is MKPK Universal), are generally similar to PBS-950 for BMD-3 - the degree of unification exceeded 90%.

In 2007, the BMD-4 road tests with airborne assault and field tests were carried out afloat, without flight preliminary tests, in 2008 there were static, master technical tests and physiological tests with two testers inside the machine. The underfunding of works, the haste of carrying out state tests of the machine without landing facilities, the late issuance of the TTZ gave rise to a situation when the BMD-4 was put into service without actually having means of landing it and without carrying out an experimental load in the cargo cabin of the aircraft. The system of development and adoption of a single complex “object - landing craft - military transport aircraft”, which had developed in Soviet times and was justified, was destroyed. However, the production of BMD-4 was limited.

        It is not BMD-4, but BMD-4m that overcomes the water barrier (it is 3% standardized with BMP-80 and has just been put into service) - the products are not of the Volgograd Plant, but of the Kurganmashzavod.

    Good + Informative, well-illustrated, well-readable. In general, Bahcha is a good idea, there is nothing to rush about with the Terminator, put Bahcha on the old chassis and not bother. Well, the granotometr should still be equipped with a tank launcher, it’s better not to overload the BMD.

            And I do not consider it necessary to abandon light armored vehicles. I just think that an obsolete car with poor mine protection, bad bulletproof protection, without a KAZ, and not sharpened by today's realities, is a coffin. Because paratroopers in combat conditions have not been thrown away since 1956, but paratroopers regularly howl on this technique.

              And what should the light infantry fight on? on tanks? The Airborne Forces must perform their tasks, for the other there are tank troops and motorized rifles. Unfortunately, situations often arise when the Airborne Forces have to perform unusual tasks, but this is a question for the command. KAZ creates a danger of destruction of its own infantry, therefore its use on vehicles of this type is unacceptable. The combat module "melon" has the ability to install KAZ.

                Yes, dear. On them. And if they are not there, have a weapon capable of compensating for their absence. But do not try to replace the tank with light armored vehicles - it is not intended for this. Those Germans understand this very well. Therefore, their BMD are small, modest, and are designed to hide behind corners and shelters.

                  Why did you decide this? If it is possible to install a 100 mm gun, why not do it? There is never much firepower. Just the Airborne should not have tanks by definition. In the IDF airborne brigades, the old M113 and Humvee are generally used, which machines are better suited to perform any tasks than BMD4? Maybe the M113 has better armor? Or is it a minus to have powerful weapons for BMD?

                      Because combining such weapons and staying within acceptable weight limits is extremely difficult, in the end they prefer ATGMs.

            Here I bring it. 10 BMD-4M units ordered in 2013. The amount of the contract is 608 million rubles.

            “Makarov confirmed that the Ministry of Defense refused to purchase the BMD-4 airborne assault vehicle precisely because of the soldier's low security.“ In fact, the BMD-4 is a version of the BMP-3, no protection - again everything is at the top, but it costs more than a tank. No matter how we looked at this car, we do not look at it, "said Makarov."

            And what, that these machines are designed for landing? When was the military landing? 70 years ago? But there are plenty of situations when the Airborne Forces are fighting on poorly protected vehicles.

                Under Makarov and Serdyukov, the first really serious reform was launched, many of which I consider correct. And I'm sorry BMD-4M, I think the coffin.
                Shamans are deeply not pleasant to me. And if you begin to remember him as a military general, I recall that Grachev was also a military general, and had a star of a hero, and also was a paratrooper.
                Shamans for the sake of their interests sent special forces of the Airborne Forces subordinate to him to fight for the factory. It's a shame.
                Shamans careerist and interest. He was the head of the administration when interesting career prospects appeared with options for the NHS and the Minister of Defense - he returned to the army.

                        I have another info about the general, he is busy with his direct duties and not with commercial affairs, as some have presented.

                        If necessary, Russian Airborne Forces can be sent to carry out combat missions as quick reaction forces outside Russia, in particular to South Ossetia, Abkhazia and the Collective Security Treaty Organization, Colonel General Vladimir Shamanov, Commander of the Airborne Forces of Russia, said on Friday.

                  By the way, during the Afghan war, Grachev established himself as an excellent military leader, and he received a star for completing combat missions with minimal human losses and for professional command of a controlled formation and successful actions of the 103rd Airborne Division, in particular in the occupation of the strategically important Satukandav pass - province Host during the military operation "Magistral". He was shell-shocked 8 times, received several wounds. It's just that, if we are absolutely clumsy, he surrendered our guys for the sake of loyalty to Yeltsin, realizing that the army at that time was simply not able to conduct major military operations, having very little time and information for planning, and realizing that many actions of the troops would be dictated people who are in "affiliated" relations with Dudaev. Knowing this, he still decided not to conduct an operation in Chechnya.

In principle, full-scale landing operations are now rare, can we abandon the airborne forces as a kind of troops?

And Shamanov himself, without any hesitation, was going to defend his factory to send soldiers of special forces of the Airborne Forces subordinate to him - miraculously remained in the army. Then we recall the military general of the airborne forces Grachev. Afghan, Golden Star of the Hero. Remember the result of his work?
                And you are also aware that one of the best American combat units of the Second World War - the 1st Special Forces Brigade - was created by a staffer who did not have combat experience, Colonel Robert Frederick.

                Nuclear weapons were also used 70 years ago, do you also propose abandoning them? In principle, full-scale landing operations are now rare, can we abandon the airborne forces as a kind of troops? The Russian army faces a wider range of tasks than the IDF, and to complete a number of these tasks, the Airborne Forces and the presence of amphibious equipment are needed.


                Was there a more effective weapon than nuclear weapons. Effective countermeasures? Ways to slow down a nuclear reaction at a distance? No. And against the landing was found.

                  In recent purchases in 2010, the cost of the tank was 71 million 915 thousand for the Ministry of Defense. 6 million bucks can you tell me where they got it?

                  And in 2004 T90 was purchased at a price of 36 million rubles, in 2011 the cost was already 118 million. The Ministry of Defense bought tanks to keep the plant afloat. Therefore, the price was extremely low, in addition, tanks of the minimum configuration were purchased, if the tank was equipped with everything necessary (thermal imagers, glonas, FCS, etc.), the price increases significantly.

                        The cost of armored vehicles is highly dependent on the filling.
                        If you take the T-90 in the cheapest configuration, and the BMD-4 with modern filling, then the BMD will probably be more expensive, but this is not a correct comparison and you should not constantly stick it out as a drawback.
                        In addition, the price of an individual unit depends heavily on the number of cars ordered, and the number of T-90s produced is almost a hundred times different than the BMD-4.

                        If you believe the Internet, then the American Excalibur Block Ia-1 shell at first cost $ 232, and Block 000a-1 - $ 2 (for one shell), but in the production of large quantities, a cost reduction of up to $ 160 is possible.
                        I don’t think that it is different with us.

                Look, I don’t scold. I myself did not see it live. Yes, and the IDF also began with such a f *** but that it is simply not clear how one could fight this. Just (IMHO) the concept of large landings has become a thing of the past. Even a relatively primitive air defense will knock out a significant portion of the landing before being thrown. The landing party, while continuing to remain an attack unit, should be reformed into airmobile troops (IMHO).

        As an armored personnel carrier is weakly protected. But it is possible to make a light assault support tank on its basis. By eliminating the troop compartment, it is possible to strengthen the armor, at least from the front. And it is better to transfer the paratroopers to the "tigers" with the removed weapon modules.

It’s better to strengthen the reservations due to the airborne landing squad, make the turret automatic so that no one is there, it may turn out to reduce the number of crew members, and create special vehicles with increased security and capacity for transportation on the battlefield.

        A combination of weapons, allowing its wide use in the city. As for the weak armor protection, I agree with you, but read in full what I wrote! It is necessary to stop combining incompatible. BMPs are machines that were built when they thought that the war would be nuclear, and in such cases it made sense to carry five paratroopers in relative safety, now the views on the war have changed. Therefore, it is necessary to modernize the machine in a different direction while maintaining its main qualities, buoyancy and the ability to disassemble

Moreover, the command of the ground forces even objects to the idea put forward by part of the brigade commanders to equip the Namer with a module with a 30 mm cannon, since this will lead to the fact that some of the commanders will use the armored personnel carrier as an infantry fighting vehicle, and this does not fit into the tactics of the IDF.

The training we had was at the highest level (we slept for 4 hours). The exercise "track" (shooting on the spot) performed perfectly well in manual mode (the "crystal" was broken laughing ), although I was a commander of a combat vehicle and not an op.navodchikom. I am proud of service in the Airborne Forces !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BMD-1, 2 are operated for 30 years or more.
