The tests of the modernized version of the light tank for the airborne "Sprut-SD" began

The first photos of the Sprut-SD self-propelled anti-tank gun 2C25 with mounted dynamic armor screens appeared on the Internet. The design of the mounted armor is similar to the armored protection of the upgraded amphibious assault vehicles of the BMD-4M type.

Currently, the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of Russia and the Airborne Forces are preparing to incorporate development work on the modernization of this product into the state defense order, and Volgograd Machine-Building Company, meanwhile, has intensively engaged in the development of the relevant topic.

In addition to enhancing the booking, it is planned to unify the machine with the BMD-4М. As part of the modernization, in addition to unification with the BMD-4М on the engine, transmission and chassis, it is planned to install the latest electronics on the SPTP. Thus, the new self-propelled anti-tank gun will be equipped with a modern digital fire control system with more advanced sights, including thermal imaging, as well as software and hardware complex, allowing to include the object into a single tactical level control system.

The number required to purchase self-propelled anti-tank guns will be determined by the Ministry of Defense.

In the 90s of the last century, the Volgograd Tractor Plant was the developer and manufacturer of this specialty. The 2005-mm 125 mm self-propelled anti-tank gun 2-25 was adopted. Therefore, its modernization in the direction of unification with the new assault vehicle BMD-4М is planned to be carried out in Volgograd. Potential collaborators of this development work are Kurgan enterprises “Tractor plants” - OJSC “SKBM” and OJSC “Kurganmashzavod”, the developer and manufacturer of BMD-4М, respectively.

      Yeah ! God forbid it sticks to the Octopus it drove - a light tank! And they will drive a self-propelled gun in the tail and in the mane and shout - why did such a defenseless guano.

        So for that it is lightweight that it cannot work where MBT works. In my opinion, it’s better to call RT, all the more, there are all the prerequisites for this. Even the SLA, emnip, allows.

        The creators tried to combine "a horse and a quivering doe", that is, neither an ACS nor a tank. The self-propelled guns can shoot from closed positions, the tank cannot. The tank is highly protected and can compete with an enemy tank in direct fire. "Octopus" is not able, another question is that it may not be a light tank, but - a self-propelled PT gun, then it turns out that cunning techies are trying to shove the military with their new, instead of the outdated "rapier" is already a self-propelled miracle, about any decent armor 2С25 speech cannot go. Therefore, confrontation with an enemy tank can only be from ambushes by the "shot-and-hide" method, but in this case, portable ATGMs are more profitable.

            Still, I think that there is a sense in light tanks, with the development of various types of active defense and actually dynamic defense, the need for thick armor already disappears, you’ll have a modern DZ and Arena on this LT and it will fight the enemy’s MBT on an equal footing .. A tiger with such the kit just roll over.

                  I beg your pardon, you think wrong. The movement is not due to the rewinding of the tracks, as on an IFV, but due to water cannons, which gives the 10 a / h afloat (this is like you are a light trot), + stability (and stability!), Can land with the crew on water with further float with the excitement of 3-5 points (with the excitement of 3 point !!! at sea !!!

                That is the problem. You can’t disperse the cumulative one, but the BPS in its modern form, in fact, reached the maximum speed.

          The creators are trying to combine the "lightness" and mobility of the landing with the ability to resist the armored vehicles of a potential enemy (which does not land anywhere, but is "at home" and can use BT any degree of security).
          ... about any decent booking 2С25 we can’t talk ...

          By itself! No one in the world can land 50-ton objects yet.
          ... in this case, portable ATGMs are more profitable

          To begin with, I propose to try to move "in peacetime on a peaceful land" (that is, without mines and shelling, but over rough terrain) about 50-70 kilometers with a portable ATGM and everything attached to it, after continuing the comment.

              I AGREE completely! But, in addition to OB-tanks, there are light tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and missile defense ... and the collision of paratrooper (air assault) units with enemy tank units in an open field (or in W-Tanks wink ) is obviously ... not in the presence of children ... Only in the rear of the enemy ITS tank formations and units are rarely used, and even if the enemy removes from the front (or does not send in time to the front) a tank brigade for my SPRUT company - DESANT COMPLETED THE TASK! And eternal glory to him ...
              Vadivak About UAZ heard? How is that option?

              Yes. Acceptable. Let me clarify the indicators (compared to SPRUT):
              - cross? - the procedure for overcoming water barriers? - protection of the crew from shrapnel-bullet and mine-explosive damage? - the amount of ammunition? - which ATGMs are used against infantry (especially on the defensive)? - the order of combat interaction with their units equipped with BMD and BTRD (especially on the offensive) - from here - the additional organization of the supply of spare parts (when everyone else is on the BMD base) and fuel (when everyone else is on diesel fuel)? - and reading and reading ...

                30 mm this light tank will also be well sewn. Modern 30 mm guns with such a rate of fire all BAZ from tanks lick, plus cameras and optics. I’m silent about LT. Then it’s better not 125 mm. put a gun on a light tank, and do something like a terminator for suppression fire with ATGMs on board. Behind the rear and against the infantry, and against the BMP, and against the Fortified positions, and anti-tank systems against tanks. There is mobility, there is no problem for waterfowl to make it, the main thing is that the ammunition was good ...

              Is it with a spring front suspension?
              Take an interest in how often the longitudinal traction in it breaks off-road.
              Not an option.
              The only UAZ plus is that after being blown up on anti-personnel bridges, they will still be usable (domestic production).
              Minus - no booking at all - no cab or dvigla.
              Not, of course, UAZ as a blank for an armored car is a suitable thing.
              But the tanks under the bottom ?!

          Dear Alexey, the serial production of the ASU-57 was carried out in 1950-1962, and the ASU-85 in 1959-1966 and they were OFFICIALLY withdrawn from service in 1993. Although I admit the idea that they are still available at the storage bases of armored vehicles.
          As the parachute airborne regiments were reequipped in the 1970s with new BMD-1 airborne infantry fighting vehicles, which provided anti-tank defense and fire support up to the squad level, ASU-57 regimental batteries gradually disbanded. The ASU-57 was finally withdrawn from service in the mid-1980s. After removal from service, part of the ASU-57 was used as training vehicles, and part was converted into unarmed tractors. Nevertheless, according to some Western sources, for 1996 the Russian Airborne Forces still claimed the presence of some ASU-57, as well as the SU-85, and according to the Military Balance IISS reference book, these self-propelled guns were also available for 2010 year - although at least about the SU-85 it is reliably known that it was withdrawn from service, along with many other obsolete weapons, in 1993.

          http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C0%D1%D3-57

          The only country in which the ASU-57 is possibly in service is the DPRK, which ordered in 1966 and received 1967 ASU-1968 removed from the armament of the USSR in 200-57. Yours faithfully! hi

              In any paratrooper (airborne assault) regiment (and now - the VDBr or DShBr) there is an artillery battalion, self-propelled - on the NONA, or howitzer - on the D-30, plus an anti-tractor division (or battery), plus in each battalion (PD or ДС) - mortar (or ПТ) battery. Axis so!

        the stuff is good. possibly based on a new platform being developed at this time, and a similar approach will be used. This is an assumption of why the MO and the General Staff are in no hurry with orders for Octopus-SD.
        In general, the car is very interesting.
        If the price is also reasonable, then there is a reason to think about further manning in combat units of the RF Armed Forces.

        Salam aleikum, respected Apollo. You can pour a lot of dirt and discuss the weak armor of the SAO 2S25 "Sprut-SD, but let's look at the largest airborne forces in the world:
        The same Americans created the M-24 Chaffee for the Airborne Forces, then the M-41 Walker Bulldog, when they realized that these tanks were too heavy. The M-551 Sheridan, when it was outdated, they more precisely understood that its 152-mm cannon-launcher Since the program failed, the M-8 Sheridan was in service until the mid-551s, until it was replaced by various modifications of the Stryker. And this is not counting the numerous armored "Hummers" with ATGM, AGS and heavy machine guns. ”Light 90-mm howitzers M-155 and MLRS M777 HIMARS were specially created for the Airborne Forces.

        his unlucky successor XM-8

        For the Airborne Forces and reconnaissance and airborne units, the British first created the Scorpion light tank with a 76-mm cannon, then replaced it with a Fox wheeled armored vehicle with a 30-mm cannon, and now they use the Saber, a hybrid tracked chassis, for fire support. "Scorpion" and "Fox" towers, and this is not counting the armed and transport "Land Rovers" and 105-mm howitzers L-119.
        The French, realizing that their "wheeled tank" AMX-10RC with a 105-mm cannon, could not be too heavy to be transported by air transport aircraft C-130 "Hercules", were forced to adopt the ERC export vehicle for their airmobile troops and parachute units of the Foreign Legion -90S "Sazhe" with a 90-mm cannon, lighter in weight. Plus a light armored vehicle VBL, used as a carrier of heavy infantry weapons.
        The Chinese have created their own BMD-ZBD03, with "Bakhcha-U", plus numerous Chinese copies of "Hummers", with 107-mm MLRS, Chinese copies of "Vasilka" and ZU-23, plus Chinese copies of the D-30 (type 85), 107 -mm MLRS type-74, self-propelled on a light truck and towed type 63.
        In Germany, a specialized BM (combat landing vehicle) "Wiesel", plus a specialized "Kraka", was created.
        That is, all of the above countries are armed with specialized samples of airborne weapons, intended for transfer on transport aircraft and helicopters. Currently, none of the above countries has a vehicle capable of withstanding the firepower of the "Octopus", the Chinese ZBD03 is compensated by our BMD-4. Yours faithfully! hi

                Dear Ivan_Ivanov Tank XM8, was created on the basis of the prototype CCLV in 1992, and was declared the winner of the AGS armored vehicle competition. By the end of 1994, six experimental tanks had been manufactured. These tanks, the Americans planned to replace the M-551 "Sheridan" when it was outdated, or rather, when they realized that its 152-mm cannon-launcher was useless (the low muzzle velocity due to the short barrel caused low accuracy, and created for the tank ATGM "Shilleila" launched through the barrel had too low armor penetration). There were three levels of tank armor. The first level of protection is similar to that of the Bradley BMP (armor is resistant to bullets with a caliber of up to 14,5 mm), the combat weight of the tank is 16 700 kg. Protection of the second level in the frontal projection is resistant to hitting 30-mm shells, the mass of the tank is 19 kg. Armor of the third level protects the crew from direct hits from RPG-960 grenades, the mass of such a tank is 7 kg. For the M23 tank, the Waterflight Arsenal created a 600 mm M8 cannon with an automatic loader. The US Army planned to order 105 M 35 tanks to equip one battalion of the 237nd Airborne Division and three armored cavalry battalions, the signing of the contract was scheduled for the end of 8, then the ceremony was postponed until mid-82, and at the end of 1995 the procurement program was canceled due to cuts in defense spending. The only more or less modern light tank that the Americans have recently been able to sell is the Stingray in 1996-1996, developed on its own initiative by Cadillac Gage Textron, which lost the M-1983 in the competition for an AGS armored vehicle. The main armament is the 1984-mm rifled L8A105 gun (a modernized version of the M7 Abrams tank gun, equipped with a muzzle brake, new recoil devices and a cradle and a modified ejector - all this made it possible to halve the recoil force acting on the trunnions when fired). year, Thailand purchased 3 tanks, the total contract value was about $ 1 million. Yours faithfully! hi

    2С25 unique machine.
    Floating, airborne (even in a "cow"), airborne combat vehicle with a full-fledged tank gun under bulletproof armor.
    She has her own niche in combat use.

    ...with mounted dynamic armor mounted screens. ...
    What is the installation method?
    Are its unique features lost at the same time?

    If they are lost, but installation and removal are possible in the field, then this is also good.
    Then, when performing tasks unusual for her functions (in the ground forces during ground operations), she will be most protected.
    We get a peculiar constructor of variable protection.

    Good luck, you Octopus!

    Good system, and has a place to be. As a reserve, the reserve is certainly better than towed guns (better protection, floating, the possibility of self-digging).

    It’s very suitable for the Airborne Forces (a very universal system), it can be used as a tank, as a weapon for firing with ZOMP (decent caliber), and naturally as a PT gun.

    It is only necessary to remember why the Airborne Forces are needed, and it is impossible to break through a sufficiently fortified, advance defense of the enemy.

Of RPG for sure. it would be better if the 57-mm art ship installation a220 delivered with birds. both in the air and in the infantry it’s excellent, but in the tanks with birds, and because of the shelter

    I don’t understand anything in the tactics of the general battle, but men, think mine is a worthwhile thing. Marine Corps, ramps open and a 125-mm caliber comes out on shore with an armored personnel carrier. Then both Chechnya and Agan showed how they used tanks in the mountains at the checkpoints as a long arm surrounded by concrete blocks, so they began to haul 50 tons of horseradish into the mountains, then they still lined with concrete anyway. Remember the fate of the IL-2 and Su-25 military and then did not know what to do with these birds. Further development showed that.

    Already wrote here, on Courage, the landing party discussed this "object" and came to the conclusion that it is not needed, a very narrow niche of using only enemy tanks, in all other cases, the use of a tank gun and ammunition is irrational (expensive, difficult, short-lived, the impossibility of shooting from closed positions, small angles of fire), in the tactics of using the Airborne Forces, the anti-tank capabilities of the 100mm BMD4 cannon are quite enough, and other anti-tank weapons that are in service with the Airborne Forces, they asked which tank or NONA is more needed? the answer was a tank but with a gun from NONA! that's all, the tank is now first of all a PTO, and not a means of supporting an infantryman, and I am absolutely sure that if a HE shell hits a tank from a 100mm gun, especially a 120mm tank will be incapacitated, the crew may survive, but do it the combat mission will definitely not be able to, shelling was carried out from a 30mm cannon of a tank with a 1.5 km burst of 15-20 shells Duc there was not a single whole device left on the tank, everything was swept away under a clean one, the barrel was pierced in several places, but the armor was not pierced, but the tank was disabled that he is that he is not ..

        There are still heavy tanks in the West. To call the same Abrams MBT language does not turn.
        And ours, having worked out the tactics of application and, most importantly, building the world's best heavy tanks, were forced to abandon them only because of Khrushchev’s Wishlist.

        Oh oh The last heavy tank, as I recall, was the T-10. So, a further increase in armor would lead to the path of Abrams - huge, heavy, slow. Not a single bridge or pontoon can stand it. And remember, where was the theater of operations predicted after the Second World War? Europe ... And what is Europe - a bunch of rivers, streams, swamps, hills, forests and other natural barriers. Where the heavy tank just gets bogged down.

          Only bad luck - in terms of dynamics, the "heavy" Abrams makes the "average" T-72 as a standing one. So Abrasha is the most MBT, but a high mass. these are the costs of the Western school.

          But about the Soviet TTs of the last competition, take an interest in the Internet - about.770 was even recommended for adoption. Moreover, note that these Soviet TTs with assa, only slightly exceeding the mass of Western CTs, had simply exorbitant characteristics.

            Does? Their dynamic characteristics are approximately equal. And all because of the engines. Put on the T-72 1500 horses, so he will not only jump, he will do back flips.
            about.770 was even recommended for adoption.

            Recommended then maybe it was. But really the last in the troops was the T-10 and the IS-4. Both of them were transported to the Far East and turned into bunkers.

              As far as I remember, Abrams accelerates to a hundred three times faster, and rides faster backwards, which is important for a combat vehicle. So the point is not only in the mass and engine, but also in the transmission.

              They didn’t take it as an thanks to Nikita Sergeich. The military were crazy about cars. These tanks, by the way, also exceeded the average dynamics.

And you yourself try to remember when these "blue" berets massively entered the battle from the "sky"? And what were the results?
