"Boomerang": the likely appearance of promising Russian armored personnel carrier

39
In September, at the International Exhibition of Armaments in Nizhny Tagil, the top leadership of the country will be shown a new armored personnel carrier on the basis of the average wheel combat unified platform "Boomerang". But now we can imagine what the secret BTR will look like. Virtual development work was carried out by 3D designers Artem Trigubchak, Mikhail Rozanov and independent military expert Alexey Khlopotov.

      I agree, very high, the Americans determined the ceiling height of their armored personnel carriers by the length of the M16. A copy will not be better than the original, which already does not shine.

    Good morning!
    The design is simply apocalyptic!
    Two questions - why the hell are the vertical sides and why the heck are they so tall? Copying the worst features of Western technology? With this approach, the infantry will again sit on the armor, and not inside. fool
    Only with such an arrangement of the tower here you will not especially sit. Maybe the fact is that the designers did not design the car, but
    3D designers
    as stated in the article?

    have designers ever looked in armored personnel carriers? if you put the tower like that, where to shove the landing? or divide it into two groups? This is not an armored personnel carrier, but a wheeled tank.

    Design must meet the rigorous challenges facing the product. Let's try to formulate them. Here someone already quoted excerpts from charters regarding armored vehicles. Concise, accurate, correct definitions. I do not remember them literally, but I will try to build on their essence.
    An armored personnel carrier is designed to transport personnel to places of a possible battlefield, protect personnel during transportation from bullets and fragments, and support personnel with fire during defense and offensive.
    Here the potential adversary plays a decisive role rather than a decisive one, and the nature of military operations and theater of operations accordingly. If these are armies of militarily developed countries, then an armored personnel carrier should, among other things, be inconspicuous, that is, be as small as possible. Here we see a real monster about three meters high. This is a machine for battles with a small, slightly armed enemy, often waging a guerrilla war. That is, it is more likely that not large-scale clashes, not massive shelling, but point strikes from a fairly close distance at predetermined and selected targets. In this case, the armored personnel carrier does not need to be subtle, or small in size. If you decide to follow it, then it will be he who will be the target and will hit from a fairly close distance. Here, it is more important and necessary to have the most powerful protection possible, even to the detriment of size and stealth.
    Large armored personnel carriers - for colonial wars.

      Nope, it should shine as little as possible on the radar and in the infrared range. For modern, and not very anti-tank weapons, the "compactness" of the target has not played any role for a long time.

    The 2A42 cannon was drawn accurately, but what kind of "rackets" on the turret is not clear, and what purpose they have, the antenna in the same place resembles the "Shroud" but without onboard add-ons. antennas. The headlights are also touching)) and a small aft gate. Well, the sides are generally a target.

    Authors + for 3D Max good , although I'm not an expert, but there are questions:
    1) Where is the V-shaped body? In the picture is he larger than the U case? Nowadays, this is relevant.
    2) Judging by the "water cannons" in the stern, it seems to be floating. But in terms of the shape of the slope and proportions of the nose, in my opinion it is not effective in the aquatic environment. Live will be more similar in proportions and angles of inclination to the BTR-80.
    3) As previously noted, raises the question of placement - the tower. How to arrange the landing? And the landing hatch, of the 2nd design, a door is cut into the ramp. Those. small door as a fallback? A ramp as the main? Is it too tricky?

    this is just a simulation of the designers so far. Let's see what they actually roll out. And the BTR-90 is now suitable for a wheeled tank, the side hatches there are even more convenient for a small crew and for loading ammunition. Such a sample with a "melon" tower is available, or the au-220m will do. Although it is clear that unification is required. The rear ramp, of course, should be large so that the troopers with their bulletproof vests and backpacks can quickly, freely and without hindrance leave the car and vice versa load into it.

    Indeed, very similar to the Finnish battleship. To critics of the rear gate: Guys, take a close look, pliz ... Not quite a "gate", but rather a door-ramp with two degrees of freedom: the "gate" option opens "towards itself (outward) to the right"; option "ramp" - "outward-downward".
    The question arises of the strength of the ramp mechanism (principle - gas lifts or hydraulics - who will it be? - ours or imported? Traditionally, Italians and French have good hydraulics ...)
    Fundamentally, according to the sketch:
    1.With the engine it is clear - "front-left"
    2.mehan - understandably - "before-right"
    3. The commander? .. (incomprehensible)
    4. The location of the turret combat module is inconvenient, because divides the troop compartment "into two unequal cotyledons" - or from the front of the armored personnel carrier "people will trample through the hatches in the roof" - this has already passed ... already "delusional" turns out, frankly ...
    5. Projections (frontal side) - high (are we trying to "spoil" the enemy? ..)
    6. Vertical sides! ..
    7. Water jets (or just a propeller in the pipe? ..) are taken out of the projection of the body ...
    Designers! .. Such designers ...
    Let's wait for the official show of technology, colleagues.

      judging by the model, on the contrary - the driver’s slot is on the left, and the MTO service hatches are drawn on the right, maybe I'm wrong but judging by the photo ...

      otherwise, the photo is extremely unsuitable for modern warfare, since the vertical sides of 3 meters high are an excellent target for a grenade launcher (and indeed for everything that shoots), since it will not be able to book them properly (maximum you can hope for good armor forehead, no more weight will pass), I think the KPVT will sew them (sides) at once ... we do not see active protection, the "Competition" on the tower is not protected, the tower itself is poorly located (divides the infantry compartment, takes up precious space) .. . in general, I hope that this boomerang will only be very distantly similar to this work of artists. Eh, they would have shown it as soon as possible, and up to this moment all the conversations are empty chatter.
