New Ukrainian armored vehicles - BTR-3E with Cockerill CSE 90L turret

In the framework of the international defense exhibition, which was held 17-21 February 2013, in the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine presented its own production of new armored vehicles.

In addition to the KRAZ-ASV / APC / 2013 armored vehicle, which was developed in Kremenchug and made on the basis of an all-terrain vehicle, the fire support vehicle based on the CMI Defense armored personnel carrier BTR-3E armored turret was also of great interest. This machine is evidence that Ukrainian-made armored vehicles have great chances to win back their segment of the world arms market, in particular, in the industry of light armored vehicles.

The BTR-3E armored personnel carrier was created on the basis of another Ukrainian armored personnel carrier, the BTR-3Е1 (which, in turn, is a modification of the BTR-80) and the Belgian tower CSE 90LP.

This project, according to Evgeny Golubenko, director of the state enterprise Ukroboronservis, is the result of bilateral cooperation between the Ukrainian company and the Belgian company CMI. He also noted that the memorandum of cooperation between the two states was signed in 2012. The main purpose of the document was joint development and the beginning of serial production of a joint armored vehicle, which would be adapted to NATO standards. In addition, the document was aimed at finding promising new markets.

E. Golubenko also noted that the Ukrainian manufacturers specially adapted the Ukrainian armored personnel carrier for the installation of the Belgian tower, which made it possible to use 90-millimeter shells that meet the standards of the military unit. In addition, this project also provides for the use of Ukrainian guided missiles.

The director of Ukroboronservis emphasized that the goal of adaptation is to create a jointly competitive product and access to those markets where, by tradition, European manufacturers hold leading positions. In particular, we are talking about the Middle East and South America. Serial production was organized at the facilities of the Ukrainian enterprise “Kiev armored plant”. The implementation of this project was made possible through the use of working capital of the concern “Ukroboronservis”. At the same time, budget funds were not used at all.

In turn, the director of the Kiev factory, Vadim Shkavro, stated that the production of the armored personnel carrier is a vivid example of the fact that cooperation between Ukrainian enterprises and leading European companies is very successful, and that it is based on a fairly high level of design thought of domestic developers and the potential of European manufacturers, which fully complies with the world's stringent standards.

The BTR-3E armored personnel carrier is a wheeled combat combat vehicle that weighs in the order of 16 tons and has high firepower and mobility. The crew of the armored personnel carrier consists of nine people: commander, driver-mechanic, gunner and paratroopers 6.

On this sample of an armored personnel carrier, you can install a variety of power plants, not only domestic but also foreign production. The main feature of the BTR-3E presented at the exhibition was the double combat compartment and the Cockerill CSE 90LP armored circular turret, equipped with a 90 millimeter low-impulse cannon and an 7,62 caliber machine gun paired with it. The substandard squad and the tower itself is a lightweight and compact combat module that is fairly simple to install on any type of armored vehicle. Thanks to modern design, high firepower and reliability, this combat module has high combat properties. However, it is very easy to manage.

It should also be noted that the combat module of the Belgian production has proven itself in the world market and exported to many countries. Currently more than 2,5 thousand units of such guns are sold. Not only modern high-explosive high-performance cumulative and sub-caliber projectiles can be used as ammunition in cannons, but also Ukrainian guided missiles. The gunner and commander of the armored personnel carrier can fire, using a digital fire control system equipped with electric pointing drives and a combined sight. The gun is manually loaded by the commander of the BTR. The use of this weapon makes it possible to solve a large number of tactical tasks: from conducting the fight against non-state military formations to conducting a full-fledged battle.

According to the developers, the low weight of the combat module made it possible to maintain a high level of mobility of the armored personnel carrier. The layout provides for the location of the control compartment in the front, the combat compartment in the middle part and the power plant in the stern. The car is equipped with a multi-fuel diesel engine with horsepower 300, which makes it possible to reach speeds up to 100 kilometers per hour. Diesel can be used at temperatures up to 50 degrees, while the range of fuel is about 750 kilometers.

The BTR-3E has a manual gearbox, which significantly reduces the cost of an armored vehicle compared to cars that have an automatic transmission. All 8 drive wheels of the armored personnel carrier can be “shod” not only in tires of domestic production, but also in tires made in France by Michelin.

The base version of the armored personnel carrier BTR-3E is a floating one. At the same time, based on the available information, this sample is not intended to overcome water obstacles (there is no water jet and a water-reflecting shield).

The armored personnel carrier is covered with Ukrainian-made armored steel - Zaporizhstal and Azovstal factories. Armor is further enhanced by the use of a Kevlar interlayer. All this guarantees the protection of the crew from the enemy's 12,7-millimeter bullets, and in addition - fully complies with NATO booking standards. Due to the successful design of the undercarriage of the armored personnel carrier and the booking structure, high durability against the effects of damaging factors of an explosion in the event of a collision with an anti-tank mine is ensured.

In order for the crew and paratroopers to feel more comfortable inside the car, the height of the troop compartment was increased. Moreover, at the request of the customer, an air conditioner can be installed in the APC (as shown by the practice of using the Ukrainian contingent of armored vehicles in Iraq - its presence is simply necessary for the effective accomplishment of tasks).

It should also be noted that devices for protection against penetrating radiation in the event of an explosion of nuclear ammunition, as well as against bacterial agents, toxic agents and radioactive dust when moving through contaminated areas are installed on this armored vehicle.

It can be assumed that the new model of an armored personnel carrier of joint Ukrainian-Belgian production can be offered not only to those countries that already have the BTR-3 (and there are currently ten such countries) as a modernized version, but also potential new customers.

Well, yes, the pictures show that the upper part of the BTR-4 hull is re-sawn, but what about the lower, most labor-intensive and complex? On BTR-3, so generally the pictures do not show anything, except for a little fine-tuning.
And yes, if the enclosures are completely new, including the lower part, then what prevented us from following modern trends in terms of increasing mine resistance?

And why shouldn't we trust a respected deputy based on an official parliamentary investigation? Apparently, the activities of the committee created to verify this order still bears fruit))

[Donetskiy]

And how can one trust a representative of an unstable regime within which clan squabbles take place? And all this against the background when multibillion-dollar deals with the United States are voiced. There was an acceptance by the Iraqi side on the territory of Ukraine and the same was supposed to take place on the territory of the customer, but instead the Iraqi side refused to even unload them.

And hadn't there ever been a situation when Iraqi receivers took bribes in Kharkov, in contrast to the receivers in Iraq itself, as a result of which there was a mismatch that fell out in the complaint?
And yes, EMNP, the acceptance in Kharkov is superficial, in the sense that the equipment is checked first of all, the acceptance in Iraq is carried out according to the declared characteristics and in more depth? If you have other information, please share)

So after all, the Arabs did not say a word about the cracks. The Iraqis adopted all the technology back in Ukraine. What are the acts of acceptance.
And there is only one source of information about the cracks - the Odessa Internet newspaper "Dumskaya. No."
There are no other sources. All mass media reporting about cracks in the hulls refer to "Dumskaya.net".
There are not even statements by the Iraqi side.
In general - a typical "duck". I will say more than that - a "duck" for idiots.
Because a healthy person would immediately ask questions.
1. Why did the representatives of Iraq accept the equipment and sign the acceptance certificate.
2. If APCs were received and loaded without cracks, then where could they come from during transportation.
3. And how exactly were these cracks discovered if the APCs had not yet arrived at their destination? Who found them, dry cargo crew?

Housing from 80ki. But he is not designed for such a tower. It is not designed for dynamic loads. It’s necessary to redo the chassis for such a combat module from the beginning to Kants, as it seems to me. And to henry up on the body of the old armored personnel carrier a tower from some crap ... nekomilfo. Negroes only sell. One hell in case of war come out and run away. Better used an anti-aircraft defense module, and it helps easier and more in demand since democratic bombing helps.

[Donetskiy]

So this is not the case of the 80s, with a general silhouette, the dimensions are different, it is higher and longer. The design itself is designed for a weighty module, in this case a tower, otherwise it would be necessary to cook an additional frame from steel pipes ala BTR-82.

That's right. If the essence of the article - it looks like a budget option for Africans. If it’s a ride, it’s your luck, but the market is full of more technologically advanced variants of wheeled vehicles with a tool, perhaps francs are ahead of everyone here, taking into account the market for similar products that they have mastered, and it will be difficult to jump them.

Dear Akim. I propose to close this dispute, because the followers from Ukraine will wildly inflict me only by belonging to the opponents of this machine.
And from myself. You can't hear me again. Okay, a closer example. Heavy tank T35. Multi-turret. The chassis supported his weight, the engine moved him, but the sense from it in the Finnish was 0 point tenths. For his armor could not withstand hits from anti-tank guns. So it is with this car. The presence of the 85mm cannon did not give any emergency ability to combat the "Sting" product with anti-tank tanks. That Sting could get into the tank, but not pierce. Hence the final conclusion that the tests of this Object cannot be called successful. Now, if this product had been tested in 1939, it would have been successful and hastily taken into service. I hope this time I explained everything in an accessible way.

And BOPS for a low-pulse gun is nothing. Light armored vehicles can destroy any high-explosive 90-mm shell. But such a gun can’t cope with tanks.

Here at the beginning the conversation was from a different angle.

[Donetskiy]

you would first decide on the subject of the dispute, because you talked about different things.

[Kars]

Experimental Soviet ACS 2S14 "Sting". Work on the wheeled self-propelled gun was carried out in 1968-1973. The 85-mm gun Sting was created in two versions: self-propelled and towed. The ACS was developed on the basis of the modernized BTR-60 (which, after being modified, was adopted as the BTR-70). The vehicle passed field tests, but was not adopted for service. the only surviving copy is in the BTT Kvubinka Museum.

[Varnaga]

Given this:

In contrast to the sale of old equipment, the implementation of the contract for the supply of 120 BTR-3E1 BTR-2010E2011 to Sudan faced serious difficulties. At the end of 3, the State Enterprise "Kiev Mechanical Repair Plant" was able to send only the first two armored personnel carriers to Sudan, and in 1 - only eight more BTR-2012E3. Due to chronic delays in the execution of the contract and the revealed unsatisfactory quality of the ten vehicles already received, the Sudanese side in 1 canceled the contract regarding the supply of the BTR-110EXNUMX and refused to receive the remaining XNUMX units.

Thus, the BTR-3 in Sudan repeated the fate of these machines in the UAE (the starting customer that financed its development), Myanmar, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan - when, after receiving small batches of BTR-3, customers refused to receive this equipment further.

As well as what I wrote below on BTR-4E, the export prospects of BTR-3E in any configuration are simply endless

[Donetskiy]

But nothing that Ukraine at the same time delivered more than a hundred BTR-3e to Thailand and continues deliveries under an additional agreement? All these "tales from the crypt" are well known to us.

[Varnaga]

Question, Sudan, the UAE (for a minute, the starting customer!), Were the armored personnel carriers delivered or not? And how is the assembly in Kazakhstan?

[Donetskiy]

in Sudan you need to watch the report of this year, in Kazakhstan they must collect BTR-4e.
Meanwhile, from available sources it is known that there was a delivery to Nigeria in the police version:

Well, since May 2012 nothing more has been heard, except for corruption scandals with long sentences for employees of Ukrspetsexport for giving bribes.
Meanwhile, a year later such news:
Kazakhstan is close to signing a contract for the production of armored personnel carriers Arma
It seems that the next Peremoga breaks off))

[Donetskiy]

Non-confirmed information about possible signing has appeared

you can not read further, the market is extremely competitive and the struggle is waged, including in the information space. The story allegedly with Sudan could well not have happened, as well as a lot of previously invented things. Especially since there could be problems with serial production, when already in 2007, the first significant batch of BTR-3e, about 50 pieces, was delivered to Nigeria.

[duke]

in my opinion, a wheeled tank based on the BTR-90, with a "melon" turret from the bmp-3 was more interesting ... it's a pity they didn't take it into service, because for a wheeled tank it doesn't matter that there is no ramp / door in the stern, and hatches on the sides even preferable for quick loading of ammunition, and the crew is small, they will have time to land if that ...

[Donetskiy]

Do you have the exact prices? With African open spaces, such a wheeled tank will often be preferable, in view of the much greater motor resource, speed, and much larger radius of action. Again, over the air in some cases, you can transfer. Of course, he cannot become a full alternative to BTT, but as an additional component it is completely. Or do you think that he is not a modern bops or the Ptrk T-72? not to mention the t-55/62.

Akim, Ukraine seems to have followed the path of South Africa with the Ratel-90 armored personnel carrier and Belgium's SIBMAS. But does it make sense? With South Africa, everything is clear, the African savannas provide for the preferable use of wheeled vehicles, and the Ratelis together with the Åland coped with the Angolan T-54 / T-55, but the Cuban T-62 was too tough for them. As a result, the South Africans were forced to create a specialized Ruikat tank destroyer, with a 76-mm naval cannon, although a variant with a 105-mm gun was planned. The Belgian SIBMAS was originally created as an export vehicle, it is used only by the Malaysian army, where in the jungle wheeled vehicles also have a preference over tracked vehicles. Do you see any reason to recycle the armored personnel carrier and create the so-called "wheeled tank" following the example of the Italian "Centaur" or the French AMX-10RC and ERC-90 "Sage", especially since the layout, as we have noticed, of the BTR-3 and especially the BTR-4 allows you to do this. especially since this would be a good vehicle with powerful weapons for the Airborne Forces, the Marine Corps and the Internal Troops. Yours faithfully!

Good time of day Roman. Ukraine did not go where. Such a MOS was at the Belgian stand, and BTR-3 was only a donor.
Ukraine produces on its basis:
- medical
- commander
- ARV
- technicals
- 120 mm mortar (there is 82 mm but it is not in demand)
- ATGM (s)
- there is an experienced ASGLA SAM, but so far the taizi have not officially requested it.
- there is a MOSFET with a BMP-3 turret (but without a 30 mm gun). It was put on experimental BTR-94 and BTR-3.

[smiths xnumx]

Greetings to Akim again, but let's be smart. This whole range of vehicles based on the BTR-3, of course, is great, the only thing I can't understand why is an 82-mm mortar, there seem to be NATO standards 81,4 mm (I mean Thailand), and the destructive power is certainly rather weak, "Vasilek "Better because it is automatic, but the reliability let us down. Nevertheless, as an armored personnel carrier this wunderwaffle (do not be offended, I did not want to offend the car, I just did not pick up another definition) is rather flawed, because the landing is only 6 people; to fight tanks as well, the armor of a modern tank is too tough for the weak Belgian cannon, as well as a fire support vehicle, the armor is weak and even the RPG-7 can penetrate, not to mention the ATGM. Maybe Ukraine really follows the path of the United Arab Emirates, which installed the Bakhcha-U combat module on the VBCI chassis, and is already actively using it in Afghanistan, especially since such developments, as I understand it, exist. Yours faithfully!

[smiths xnumx]

Excuse me, dear Akim, who is the potential customer of this machine. So far I am aware of two large deliveries of the BTR-3 to foreign customers Thailand and Nigeria. In February 2013, four armored personnel carriers BTR-3E manufactured at the State Enterprise "Kiev Mechanical Repair Plant" were shipped to the federal police of Nigeria. These vehicles are equipped with single turrets with a 12,7-mm NSVT-12,7 machine gun (similar to the BTR-3UN vehicles previously supplied to the Nigerian army), and have a characteristic bright blue color. Nigeria became the first significant customer of the BTR-3 of Ukrainian production - the Nigerian army in 2006-2007, 47 machines of this type were delivered. Among the delivered 47 units were 30 linear BTR-3UN (with single turrets with a 12,7-mm NSVT machine gun), six BTR-3UK command and staff vehicles, four armored BTR-3UR recovery vehicles and seven BTR-3E (armed 14,5 mm machine guns). All other attempts to sell it (Sudan, Myanmar, UAE, Azerbaijan) ended in failure. Yours faithfully!

Dear Akim, if I’m not mistaken, then they created the BTR-3 by order of the UAE and for the Marine Corps, which was why they financed its development at the time, when it still appeared as a Guardian. However, for parts of the marine corps equipped with BTR-3 (unfortunately, the Thai marines do not have their own BTT), it would be useful as a fire support vehicle.
However, I liked the Mexican modernization of the BTR-60PB for their marines-APC-70, but people managed to make candy ...

or Cuban child prodigy:

Yours!

hehehe and what good fellows ??? in the fact that they took the decommissioned armored personnel carrier (sales did not bother to paint normal rust at the seams to save it all) they stuck fluff90ml although the site is not comic verbal battles put on bt57ml or not! and now the main thing against whom we will fight on this ******* or rather, on which theater of operations ?? caliber redundant hauling machine means touched on modernization zero (for patency in the autumn-spring season, you don’t have to guess it is stupidly not) only threatening view and so .. ... I would like to be proud but so far there is nothing

Well, the complete set is unknown to us. Perhaps the car passed dorobotku suspension and power plant.
Although the purpose of this weapon on such a chassis is really incomprehensible. Domestic NONA and NONA-SVK at least they can fire like mortars. And mortars have been very indispensable recently in the theater of operations in local wars.

[dominatus]

Hehe.
You’d better see what the BTR-4 is.
Then at least they would not disgrace. Then they would understand that the old building there cannot be a priori. There, even the layout of the engine and the placement of the crew are completely different. In Soviet armored personnel carriers such a layout has never been used.
BTR-4 has three offices:
Front - control compartment
Secondary - Engine Transmission Department
Rear - combat and landing squads

So how is it that you can execute such a layout on Soviet armored personnel carriers?

quote armored personnel carrier BTR-3Е was created on the basis of another Ukrainian armored personnel carrier - BTR-3EX1


the second video relates to the Thailand-implemented BTR-3E and recall Deputy Commander of the Thai Army


In the video, the deputy commander of the Thai army talks about the advantages of the BTR-3E1. Customers are delighted with the cooperation, and as previously reported, ordered a second batch of Ukrainian armored cars.

BTR Export Tests: Male Spectacle

BTR-3E1 - 2010 car of birth. It was invented in the Kharkov Morozov Design Bureau, and assembled in collaboration with German, American and Arab firms.

Ukrainian designers insist that this is not a modification of old models, but a completely new development.

Here are some performance characteristics of this machine:

engine in xnumx horsepower
can swim
lucky six foot soldiers
equipped with a Flurry combat module - gun (30 mm), machine gun (7,62 mm), grenade launcher (30 mm) and anti-tank weapons
maximum highway speed - 85 km / h

Now as BTR-3E with Cockerill CSE 90L TowerI am glad for the Ukrainian comrades. Good luck to the new BTR-u. It would be great if all the same the cooperation on the production of weapons would be with Russia.

[vomag]

that’s what you rejoice ?? I don’t understand! this is the usual bt80 here and the idiot is clear that during the first battle the clashes the thai landing will climb on the armor as they are there no more stupid than our soldiers (in afg or chech) which is radically new there ?? maybe they hung the armor? increased the mine counterpart ??? duck after all! the design doesn’t allow otherwise it doesn’t float! now brt-3e let it be sold there wherever they want — God forbid from cooperating with them (hell) we’ve got a development monster of 70- 80 years ?? we are developing armata, buerangi, etc., and it’s cool, Mlyn! I must admit that in Ukraine there is no normal design school and that’s why they freak out ugly people for Africa. We kindly ask you not to write comments if you don’t rummage around on technology and promises are well done, let’s be proud of them cheers give us, etc. this is nonsense

[dominatus]

Do not disgrace stupid posts comrade.
If you were interested in the topic, you would not look like a sucker.
Ukrainian KAZ "Zaslon" can be installed on any type of equipment, even a car. Not to mention the APC.

If you rummage through some kind of technique, then this is at best a 2-wheel car.
A person who understands in technology a little such nonsense as you wrote - will not write.

I never beg the merits of Ukrainian engineers ..... but everything is new, it’s well forgotten the old)))!
They didn’t do much work there, and Voila went through with a file! Armored personnel carrier “Sting-B” and “Sting-C” (BTR-70 with 85mm and 125mm gun)

[Xroft]

They already wrote about this, and generally do not understand the aggressiveness of Ukrainian readers of the Russian Military Patriotic Portal when they are pointed out specific errors / mistakes. No one wants to belittle fraternal people just adequately evaluate the work done. Everywhere there are enough Serdyukovs ....

Misses ...
Dnipropetrovsk region, I’ve been traveling with my wife recently,
stop mints, dachshund 40 hryvnia. I look into their eyes - it is necessary, gave and asked so that others would not touch

This is bad, but sometimes it’s necessary

Now about those above, the Ukrainians (you know if you didn’t call it that way) love their country, the Germans, the French, the British - everyone has a story, our neighbors also have a story and they should not put their Imperial hands in there. 80% of Russia's budget is oil products, the rest is timber and metals. Ukraine does not have such a needle, so it’s better to learn not from yourself, but from neighbors

Armored personnel carrier covered armored steel of Ukrainian production

I did not understand this phrase
Is it not built of armor, but covered with it?

[dvvv]

All this guarantees the protection of the crew from enemy 12,7-millimeter bullets, and in addition - fully complies with the NATO booking standards. - here are the questions: BMP-1 at 13 tons does not hold 7.62 on board, and here 16 tons and already 12.7 holds! Is it in a circle or in the forehead?

[bubble82009]

honestly say a mixture of bulldog with rhino. what is rhino? in the wheelbase. what is the bulldog? in the tower. it seems that this modification was made specifically for African countries where they are familiar with our technology. and Belgian weapons are familiar. for such a machine, a back door is needed for the landing, but it is not there. The center of gravity is higher, stability is lower, not only transverse, but also longitudinal. Under certain conditions, the muzzle will be buried. and still this tower is outdated. you need something new with remote control. 16 tons, but the armor is weak for such weapons. it is intended more for what would drive a bush of Papuans.

[Yemelya]

And on "Bulat", I wonder, can you put such a tower?

The BA-10 reincarnation would have turned out ...

[Sochi]

cool ... in the sense - and why the hell? The Ukrainian military-industrial complex does not have a coherent program of action, there is no R&D, they just look around ... yeah, there they are like that, well, we’ll stick. Fortunately, much remains of the USSR, and there is something to sculpt. This is only one plus - those who sculpt, remain in action, and in the case of a real military program and funding, they will really construct. In Russia, too, such a tramp was at one time, but thank God it seems like they left it.
