Russian BMP "Kurganets-25" with thermal imagers and locators

An infantry fighting vehicle based on an average unified platform called the Kurganets-25 will be the first Russian infantry fighting vehicle, in which the crew will be separated from the module with ammunition and armament, reports "Messenger of Mordovia".

This machine will be equipped with an 30-mm 2-42 automatic cannon. Earlier it was reported that a new nomenclature of projectiles will be created for the ammunition, among which there will be “smart” ones with the possibility of undermining at the necessary point, which will allow destroying the enemy's living force with high efficiency.

In addition, the gun will be paired with an 7.62-mm PKT machine gun with ammunition for 2000 cartridges. The BMP will also equip the Kornet ATGM with a range of 8000-10000 m.

All this will be controlled by a modern fire control system with the ability to automatically search for targets in different spectral ranges in active and passive mode. Camouflaged targets will help detect the optical locator.

It is possible that in the future 25-mm and even 40-mm artillery weapons will appear on the Kurganz-57.

Currently, militarily advanced states are developing so-called "electrothermochemical instruments." Russia did not stand aside, so in the long run such a gun can appear on the Kurganz, as this machine will serve at least another quarter of a century.

FIRST PICTURE ??? !!! The case is similar to the Puma, the engine in front ... modular booking!

[Giant thought]

A good car came out, now we need an active supply to the troops to replace obsolete equipment as soon as possible.

[Stalevar]

But the picture is not BMP, this is self-propelled guns. I understand the platform is unified. But why accompany the text about the infantry fighting vehicle with such an illustration?

In Poland can begin to develop in a 50-ton tank
Based on the Polish multipurpose platform, "Anders" is unlikely to be a tank of the latest generation. The Polish military rightly doubted the ability to create this battle of machines weighing up to 30 tons. Because, apparently, the recent start of work on a main battle tank weighing up to 50 tons.

This is not the first attempt by the Poles to make a tank of this class. In the 90s they already worked on the main battle tank PT-94 "gorilla".

Machine weight must be between 50 and 55 tons. Outside, he was next to the most advanced tank, then to the west - the French "Leclerc", in particular, he seems to have been taken as an object to follow.



And the image from here ....

Ага.
Pictured is the Polish LC-08 Anders.
He has a lot of development now, if not mistaken then this one with the Belgian CT-CV tower (105mm.)
By the way, Indians are interested in this platform ...

And where does Kurganets-25?

I think the author simply inserted the first photo in the text to give a solid article, no more ...

Camping on the Kurganets will be staged by the Berezhok

BMP based on "Kurganets" (as well as armored personnel carriers based on "Boomerang" and heavy infantry fighting vehicles based on "Armata") are planned to equip the combat module "Epoch" (under this name it is mentioned in the open press). The Epoch's armament will comprise a 30-mm automatic artillery system (the type is not reported, but we have two - 2A42 and 2A72), a 7,62-mm coaxial machine gun (unambiguously PKMT) and 2 ATGM launchers (the type of ATGM is not reported, but presumably it will be "Cornet").
It would be logical to assume that the development of the Epoch will take into account the experience of working on the Berezhk and other combat modules. It is only known for certain that it will be uninhabited.
The armament of the BMP based on "Kurganets" with combat modules with 57-mm artillery systems has not yet been reported. Although, in the future (in my humble understanding), it is possible to equip some machines with such modules ...

Why is it incomprehensible? Dviglo front right. See the deflector of the engine cooling system. And next to the right is the driver’s mechanic’s compartment. Like the BMP-1.

Where does the old cornet have a range of 10000 km? What kind of nonsense ??? The modular is of course good, but the BMP has never had a problem with detonation of BC, it’s not T72, which reservation is not indicated and if it doesn’t keep an armor-piercing incendiary 7,62, then this product is designed to transport infantry and the rest is secondary

THAN?,
so that more there (inside) LIKE?
what will be easier and cheaper to produce?
so that LESS will be a rental waste?

Or do you seriously hope that for 10-15 mm PSEVDobron, at an angle of 45 / 60 gr. WILL GIVE RICOCHET?
From what? From pneumatics, yes probably

[Mama_Cholli]

An inclination of armor plates of 45 degrees in any case increases the likelihood of a rebound from small arms (the same machine guns) + armor of 15 mm. set at an angle of 45 degrees already gives a thickness of 25 mm. Make sure of this yourself, on a sheet of paper in a cage, and this excuses 2/3 of the thickness adds.

It's funny that "they" have a landing hatch (since the time of the M-113) serves, like, a ladder during disembarkation, and in our country it serves as a type of fire protection during disembarkation. What's more relevant, interesting?

[Yuri Y.]

Precisely, the multi-purpose branded Anders platform.

[Egorl]

Judging by the picture, the gun there is far from 30 mm ...

[RusDV]

Quote: EgorL

Judging by the picture, the gun there is far from 30 mm ...

not 30 mm in the picture .... In any case, not automatic 2A42 ..... The latter is a very good Soviet automatic gun designed by A. G. Shipunov and V. P. Gryazev, designed to destroy manpower, lightly armored equipment and airborne low-flying targets.
When shooting the entire ammunition (500 rounds), the gun does not need intermediate cooling. Shooting is possible with single and automatic fire, large and small pace. Ammunition - selective of two rounds of ammunition, equipped with cartridges with armor-piercing and high-explosive shells.
The gun is designed and manufactured at the Tula Machine-Building Plant (Tulamashzavod). In addition to the Russian Federation, the 2A42 cannon is manufactured in Bulgaria (Arsenal Co), in India for the Sarath BMP (BMP-2), and in Slovakia for the BMP-2 licensed here as well.

[starshina pv]

Something is not clear what kind of drindulet? looks very western.

[kelevra]

If this photo is true, although I don’t really believe it, since the trucks are of the NATO type, then it doesn’t look like an IFV! With such an instrument, it looks more like a light self-propelled gun. I saw a prototype of Kurgan, it looks like an IFV and looks like very powerful and modern!

[Drew]

apparently no one knows what the Kurgan looks like

[s1н7т]

Quote: Drew

apparently no one knows what the Kurgan looks like

And I don’t even know for what tasks it will be done? If under the former - delivery of military personnel on the battlefield and support by fire, then there will be nothing fundamentally new: the engine will remain there, the landing force will also be the same, the dimensions will be about the same, otherwise there’s nothing to do on the battlefield, the weapons are the same (about which , in fact, they say). Weight will be added - well, will there be a reinforced bottom, suspension, armor? Well, the ATGMs will add. Is that all? Honestly, I’m not expecting anything particularly new.

[Grigorievich]

The picture shows some sort of howitzer on an incomprehensible platform.

[vdtomsk]

125mm 2S25 self-propelled anti-tank gun based on Kurgan

[bistrov.]

Quote: Grigorievich

some howitzer

I would call this gun a howitzer gun, since there are two signs here: a muzzle brake and a fairly long barrel, which means the initial velocity of the projectile is quite high — a sign of the gun; on the other hand, the elevation angle is also a big sign of howitzers. Apparently, there is a variation with charges: the charge-gun is more powerful, the charge-howitzer is less.

[bistrov.]

European standards. For example, the Germans have a full-fledged day / night rear-view camera. However, mirrors are required and are therefore installed.

Quote: Nickanor

Rear view mirrors???

To us in the school year, so in the 85th, 72 came with mirrors. They were needed, in fact, only when you drive a car into a box.

[Lopatov]

There it was somehow possible to justify their presence. Although in the "boxing" version, they only interfere.

I remember that in the second or third PCBs in the army I drove the Ural into boxing. The divisional zampotech stopped the process, hit the driver in the forehead, then took me aside and promised to hit me in the forehead next time if the driver not only looks at me, but also in the mirrors.

[s1н7т]

When the cadets didn’t drive tanks into the pits, it was like that - his sergeant was convinced that there was nobody behind the tank, waved his hand - like, come on !, and he ran to the next. You look at the mirrors in order to drive more or less in the middle, and where to go - at a distance from the boxing gate. But on these 72s of fur-water there was prapora, usually they drove themselves. Also, by the way, with violations. And in the army, yes, they vomited. Somehow, I had to load 30 cars onto the platforms from the end of the ramp, I took the best ones, but I didn’t see my eyes before - they didn’t want to fall off the platform, they believed every gesture! I remember only one case of violation of the power supply in the army - an officer stood between driven cars inside the box, one of the mechanics (BRM) pulled the helm, the car went at him, threatening to crush him on the second car. The officer turned out to be jumping - he jumped over the rear of the BRM! No longer breaking

judging by the photo, the caliber is either 76 or 57mm. And more like a mini self-propelled guns.

[Vadim237]

[Messiah]

Where is the 40-45 mm gun for the Kurgan? Again -30 mm - ka? And her, given the increased security of the BMP \ BTR potential enemy, is no longer enough! And the ATGMs located on its tower - practically without armor protection? One line or a couple of small fragments and everything will fail! We are not in the desert, where the "adversary", see for 3,5-5 km! We have “gullies-rivers-crayfish”, “greenback!” So, to get in the silhouette of the BMP \ BTR tower with 100-300 a couple of sighting bursts 7,62 \ 5,6 \ 5,45mm is not a question! And if it “explodes?” What will happen to the “people” inside? And there "over your head" because under 20 kg on each side! And the roof is only 8-12, well, 25 mm! ..... What, is it difficult to make the tower module larger and the installation of ATGM / SAM, as in the Belarusian "2T Stalker"? Oh ...
