After modernization, the Octopus-SD will become the world's best machine in its class

The self-propelled anti-tank gun 2C25 "Sprut-SD", which is in service with the Russian airborne troops, has established itself well during operation. However, since the process of creating this machine was delayed, then according to some characteristics (in particular, according to the capabilities of the fire control system), the machine no longer fully meets modern requirements.

In addition, the promising BMP-4M is currently unified with the land-based BMP-3. Therefore, there is an urgent need to modernize and the Sprut.

According to the corporate newspaper "Tractor Plants", at present, the Volgograd machine-building company "VgTZ" is carrying out development work to develop a modernized version of the 125-mm self-propelled antitank gun 2-25 "Sprut-SD".

Modernization is the installation of modern thermal sights for the commander of the machine and the gunner operator. These devices will allow at least three times to increase the range of target destruction at night.

In addition, an engine, transmission, as well as suspension and running gear assemblies from the BMP-3 are installed on the self-propelled anti-tank gun, which will increase the reliability of the equipment during operation, the Tractor Plants newspaper reported.

In addition, a self-propelled anti-tank gun is equipped with an engine, transmission, as well as suspension and chassis units from the BMP-3, which will increase the reliability of the special product during operation

And also not only reduce costs in the production and repair, but also facilitate the supply and training of specialists. Well, it’s reasonable ... And what the thermal imagers install is +++

[Dart weyder]

I agree, though thermal imagers need to be installed for a long time, it should be the norm, otherwise they call it a modern army, but nothing is in it .... Chechen companies alone were worth what - the militants had better communications and had navigation and nightlights .. .. and something the warrior had everything at the level, then there would be no such problems ....

They removed the question, as they say, from the language.
Specialists, ay, explain in what conditions this should be used. Especially in the Airborne Forces? Why is the VDV such a HUGE? To destroy the tanks? Yes, now such miracles about RPGs tell, wow. Note carried by one person.
For the "Kursk" battle? So, there won't be any more like that ...
Specialists, explain.

125mm OFS why they are needed I think questions do not arise.
125KS In the weakened ison and on board take any tanks
125 OBPS take 90% of the tanks in the world

ATGMs appeared on the T-55 and T-64 in the 70s.
Reflex range 5km, direct shot range ~ 2km
shells and ATGMs complement each other, not exclude

And here the installation of anti-tank systems clearly has an advantage.

for the tasks of the anti-tank gun, oddly enough, it is the anti-tank gun, rather than the anti-tank gun, but if the anti-tank gun is also the anti-tank gun, the conclusion is clear

I knowingly brought you the year of the appearance of ATGMs and their range
in the 70s, at a distance of 2-3 km (not to mention 4-5 km), at that level of development of the LMS, there was no need to talk from the first shot at a moving tank even at a speed of 20-30 km / h. from this point of view, ATGMs gave a huge advantage due to the fact that they are managed.
Now it’s a slightly different time, there appeared a computerized OMS, target tracking machines, etc.

Let me remind you that the "Brass knuckles" have been in service since 1980, but at the same time the replacement of the MT-12 with the ATGM was and is being carried out at full speed.

bring at least one motorized rifle brigade where now there is no anti-tank artillery division?

I know. but you really bother to clarify. preferably with quotes, otherwise I’m afraid to sit in a puddle again.

We are in the Great Patriotic War. In the world, in the Middle East. But there were never any military landings with parachute landing of equipment.

so you yourself know everything. why this performance was needed with anti-tank reserves, I absolutely do not understand. if military science had remained the same, no one would have carried out controversial military reforms now.

there’s a separate discussion about the Airborne Forces and now I don’t want to talk about it. our dispute began with the need to replace Rapier with Octopus in the ground forces

But at the same time, the ATGM remains in ammunition. Moreover, the "emerging computerized control systems" allow firing guided missiles. In your opinion, is this just a cut of budget funds? This opportunity does not appear for free.

you lied saying that ATGMs appeared in the ammunition modern tanks(to which I personally include at least T-90A, respectively, all Western MBT trash) because artillery shells can not cope with their tasks

in fact, now all types of shells and rounds are still relevant, only effective areas of application have increased

Bring at least one motorized rifle brigade in which the Rapier was not replaced by the Shturm-s, if possible. Not a single ATGM battery was cut, only anti-tank artillery pieces were cut.

you are as usual in your style. I didn’t say anything like that to bring something
and rapiers have long lost their relevance like any towed artillery (especially anti-tank artillery), therefore it was ruthlessly cut, but not completely removed, because as I wrote above, the idea was to replace it with SPTP over time

You are absolutely unaware. Quotes? About what? About the fact that the same "Robot" can remove the control device, attach it to a tripod and use it as a portable ATGM? What can be done with the BMP-2, Konkurs? The same thing can be done with promising complexes with "Cornet" as art. parts?

again frankly distort
I brought you a photo of the BMP-2M with the attached Kornet TPK, which can be removed and used without problems from the portable complex

accordingly, nothing prevents to attach them to any SPTP with the same result.
so you sat down again in a puddle (

What does this "shooting with shells and ATGM" give if you are faced with the task of hitting armored objects at the maximum possible range, with the first shot?

you yourself set this task and with some kind of frenzy you are trying to fine-tune all your reasoning for it.
you yourself rubbed at me about various types of warheads (thermobaric and high-explosive) at the cornet, and talked about how the assault masterfully drove the rocket out the window, so you understand that. if there is the above task, the octopus uses ptrk, if the lines are protected, KAZ uses BPS, if you need to gouge the fortifications, then it uses HE shells or missiles, if you just need to process enemy manpower, there is nothing better than OFS.
in fact, she has a huge range of tasks.

No, my friend, this is the real task of the anti-tank units. For example, the elongated mine clearance charge in Chechnya was very effectively used to storm settlements. However, even the most gifted do not call this one of his main tasks.

The same is true for anti-tankers: they can be used to directly support infantry only when the enemy has nothing but small arms and grenade launchers.

I said that you can remove the Cornet TPK and put it on a portable PU.
if you assumed that Sturm, Cornet-S, or Chrysanthemums could be removed, then you were usually mistaken

I don’t know what you are talking about, but I'm talking about Octopus-SD and its capabilities.

The same is true for anti-tankers: they can be used to directly support infantry only when the enemy has nothing but small arms and grenade launchers.

you again came up with mythical offensive tasks about supporting infantry with the help of anti-tank missile systems and anti-tank systems

anti-tank units are deployed in tank hazardous areas to support the defense of existing forces, or for independent actions, i.e. the enemy doesn’t give a damn who will ultimately meet him with specially sharpened ATGMs or universal anti-aircraft systems, but the Octopuses will be much more effective in this situation

This phrase of yours again brings us back to the anti-tank reserve and its functions. In the vast majority of cases, the function of the anti-tank reserve is not "support in the defense of existing forces" - a reinforced battalion already has anti-tank weapons above the roof.
They must occupy the line of deployment where this infantry simply does not exist. That is, none. Absolutely. And to detain the advancing enemy, while the infantry units will occupy the line of defense behind the anti-tank men. Stalling for time and "knocking out the tanks" (s)

These are the real tasks of the anti-tank reserve. Not "mythical"

I argue that only ATGMs can perform the task of hitting targets at long range from the first shot, and therefore they remain in the tank's ammunition. You are trying to challenge this. There are no arguments yet.

You don’t even seem to know what you're talking about, jumping from one topic to another
You initially stated that ATGMs appeared in the tank ammunition due to the fact that the OBPS / KS could not ensure the defeat of targets from the first shot at long range.
for BPS, the maximum effective range is not more than 2.5 km, to which I replied that in the 70s they really didn’t provide such at their maximum ranges, but nowadays, thanks to modern SLAs, the probability of hitting the target with BPS at its maximum range has become high enough to compare in effectiveness with ATGM.
but also the ATGM has a much greater range, Svir in the 70s 4km, now Reflex-M at 5.5km,
ATGMs significantly increase the capabilities of tanks, but absolutely do not replace conventional shells. at a distance of 1 km, for example, no one will spend.

Again 25. I pointed out that you did not understand what was going on when I started talking about the removal. You tried to dispute this by posting an image of the upgraded BMP-2. I wrote that such an argument is not very.

Well what are you, I’ll tell you a secret that you don’t seem to understand what this is about.
what kind of removal are we talking about let's say on Sturm or Chrysanthemum?

Which are not and will not be in service with the linear infantry units. But the BMP stood, and will stand. And they will always have their anti-tank weapons.

you seem to be talking on their own, but in a couple of years we’ll see about what and where it will stand. all these muddies with the purchase of Ketnavrov and stuff were not just, a wheeled Octopus is rumored to exist

This phrase of yours again brings us back to the anti-tank reserve and its functions. In the vast majority of cases, the function of the anti-tank reserve is not "support in the defense of existing forces" - a reinforced battalion already has anti-tank weapons above the roof.

say nonsense again, a reserve for that and a reserve to plug holes in the defense with it. reinforced battalions, as I understand it, you have immortals and therefore can’t lose personnel and equipment.
and if there is at least some force in the way of the enemy, no one will specifically advance forward so that they heroically fight alone, and not support each other.

the right word you amused me, such questions after you pathetically talked about what you know what anti-tank reserve is
all our missiles, which you think do not have a seeker, use the principle of "laser trail", i.e. behind them there is a receiver of laser radiation with the help of which the rocket is controlled.
This method has advantages (there is no need to highlight the target directly, the signal power is much less than when directly illuminating the target) and disadvantages (the target should be in direct line of sight).
but the oblique nozzles of the rocket are located in the middle of the body and the rocket has a spiral path

why can't an American rocket do without it?

everything is very simple
the engine nozzle is located on the rear section of the rocket, which excludes the installation of a radiation receiver there

Quote: Spade

Modern KAZ are able to shoot down "crowbars" But the missiles flying at a speed of almost twice as many, no.

Mr. You mixed up the shovels, everything is exactly the opposite, and even much worse. The subsonic rocket is approximately 300 m / s, assaults, attacks and chrysanthemums are super sonic, but we are talking about 1,5-2 max marching speed, i.e. 500-600 m / s. Domestic scrap comes at a distance of 2 km at a speed of about 1600 m / s western 1500 m / s. So if, for example, there is a task from an ambush to flip an enemy light armor at a distance of 2 km. then Octopus will cope better with any than any ATGM, faster and several times cheaper. And most importantly, Octopus is not a replacement for anti-tank systems but a means of reinforcing the landing. Our potential partners have a similar ersatz of 105 mm of fluff on the Striker chassis (yes, it’s understandable that it’s wheeled but ideologically closest to the technique of our airborne vehicles)

[Lopatov]

Distance 2 km? I'm afraid that at this range, the enemy's light armor will break the Octopus with the bulletproof armor, like a hot water bottle. What is the effective range of the Bradley cannon? 3000 m, if I'm not mistaken. And the Browning M2 2000 m

[evil hamster]

Dear, you persist in vain in the obvious. The outcome of the GSTP duel against a small-bore autocannon is obvious and unambiguous. If the modernized Octopus will be implemented at least level T90A self-propelled guns, there will be nothing to catch light armor. You probably joked about browning, I laughed too. And I want to note that in a similar situation, for example, a chrysanthemum is in danger in the same way, only rockets fly slower and there is a significantly longer interval between 2 and 3 shots.

Sure. The outcome is an exchange. One destroyed "Bradley" and one destroyed "Octopus" Unless, of course, it is spotted earlier and rammed with ATGMs from a safe distance.

[evil hamster]

And in fact, from which should they detect it earlier? And why is this a bargain? SOU BMP in the general case are inferior to tank ones (naturally, of their technical level) The initial velocity of the projectile is lower, the power is incomparably smaller. The accuracy of automatic fire is less. or do we have BMP gunners all with steel eggs, stop the cars and heal the octopus in short bursts? I just see a picture of the commander Bradley’s crew for himself - don’t overshadow the posons, this is not a tank, I recognized it by the leg, I believe in you as a gunner, you chop it before. Sorry for some banter, but the picture is somewhat strange, we get it. About range and ptur. Firstly, it is not always possible to implement it in this particular area, secondly, the octopus also has a TOUR for every fireman, thirdly, if you have been found before, and you still have no ATGMs ready for the enemy, then it doesn’t matter if you have Sprut on your BMP-3 chassis Whether the Cornet is on it, or Chrysanthemum or the hell is bald in a cart. As a result, you will collapse.
I just can’t understand what you don’t like the self-running gun as a means of reinforcing the airborne forces. It’s better to preserve the anti-tank guards, if tanks really meet. To use anti-tank guided missiles against anything that could be dangerous, because this is not enough ammunition.

This option is as unlikely as described by me.

Here the key word has already been spent, it is necessary to bring the matter to mind. And actually why are you opposing the "crimp" with the octopus? Nona's first development is actually pure artillery. Opportunities for the destruction of mobile armored vehicles are minimal - the ballistics is not the same. So what's the problem, let it be, only the 2A80 gun naturally needs to be installed and the chassis unified with the BMP3 / BMD4M.

Quote: evil hamster

This option is as unlikely as described by me. It seems to me the crews of Bradley, having hit such an ambush, will first of all try to leave the firing zone

Rather, they will eliminate the threat. To know what kind of terrain can be hidden, you need to localize the source of the threat. Having localized, they will fire at him. Firstly, to make it difficult to aim, 25-mm guns pose a great threat to fire guidance and control devices, and secondly, to indicate the purpose of their infantry with anti-tank systems.

Quote: evil hamster

Well, Octopus will certainly climb the most prominent hillock

Will you argue that the sight is smaller than the tower? And what if getting into the sight does not mean the death of crew members?

Quote: evil hamster

Here the key word has already been spent, it is necessary to bring the matter to mind. And actually why are you opposing the "crimp" with the octopus?

Because that's the way it is. "Crimping" together with the self-propelled ATGM system can perform all tasks to support the airborne forces. Their "replacement" in the form of "Octopus" is not. And nevertheless, they are trying to shove the Sprut into the troops, and work on the self-propelled guns and self-propelled anti-tank systems is practically stopped.

Where are even more advantages? What else is there to add a periscope to it?
This combat unit will find its application in any troops where tactics are speed and onslaught, but powerful support by fire is urgently needed: airborne forces, marines, special operations forces and quick reaction forces.
She can even be thrown on the “Cow”. Simple and stupid: at least to the Transbaikal taiga, at least to the mountain pass of the Caucasus, where there are no places for the possibility of landing.

For its niche weapons Octopus is simply unique. The absence of it in the troops: to put it mildly - sabotage, rude to say - betrayal and wrecking.

I would also like to see this installation in the Marine Corps. But with a few changes. It will not be necessary to land it, therefore it is possible to improve the reservation and install an anti-aircraft machine gun.

Why ersatz tank Marine Corps, armed with full tanks?

Why ersatz tank Marine Corps, armed with full tanks?

since when has the MP armed with real tanks?

[dmitry46]

There used to be! In the Bialystok brigade MP were definitely T-72. but after the Serdyukov reform, the Marines did not have them ...

[Lopatov]

Actually, they do. Each MP brigade has a tank battalion. Unless, of course, the "optimizers" have made it to them.

You guys, as if for the money of overseas "friends" our airborne forces are terrorizing with such arrivals. The Bundeswehr army has airborne troops, whose tasks include parachute landing behind enemy lines; to support the paratroopers, the Germans use the Wiesel and Wiesel-2 armored vehicles. The crew is 2 people, in the basic version they are armed with a 20 mm cannon, but there are many modifications on their chassis with anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles, ambulances and command vehicles, has bulletproof armor and does not float. The main thing in the Airborne Forces technology is AIR TRANSPORTABILITY, which ensures the rapid transfer of troops by air, both in landing and parachute landing. If you don’t know what it’s for, what operational tasks it allows you to solve, don’t try to judge, “Why ?!”. Our equipment for the Airborne Forces, like the troops themselves, surpass what a potential enemy has, do not sing to the tune of our enemies, we have only 30-35 thousand Airborne Forces. There are other troops for heavy equipment, with different tasks.

our artillery is the best in the world and it is indisputable, because all the power in people --- and they are the best in us

It would be better if instead they brought the nedotank to mind and put SPGs developed according to the ROC "Compression"
