Why is there no good news from the creators of Boomerang?
The appearance in the Russian army of combat vehicles of an average unified platform “Boomerang” should be a breakthrough in the field of creating domestic wheeled armored vehicles. But as is usually the case when creating something fundamentally new, at some stages of work certain difficulties may arise, for overcoming of which time is needed. This is stated in the article posted on the agency website. Messenger of Mordovia.
“Before becoming a Boomerang,” the author writes, “the newest Russian armored personnel carrier underwent several reincarnations. Initially, the development was called "sleeve". In the new war machine then it was planned to make maximum use of the groundwork accumulated during the creation of the BTR-90 Rostok. ”
BTR "Sleeve"
Later, the "sleeve" turned into a "Boomerang." Experts believe that "thanks to the modular booking, which will significantly enhance the protection of the BTR, the weight of some modifications can reach 25 tons." Mandatory attribute of an armored personnel carrier will be enhanced mine protection. It is possible that he will become the first production armored vehicle equipped with an active protection complex (KAZ). It is assumed that KAZ will provide all-round protection for the car.
The heavily armed version of "Boomerang"
If we recall the reports that Russian promising KAZs will be able to shoot down high-speed armor-piercing-sifting shells, then in terms of the degree of security, the new BTR will be the leader among all wheeled armored vehicles.
"Boomerang" in the version of the BTR
High mobility of the machine will provide an engine with more than 500 hp.
The “Boomerang” in the BTR version will most likely be equipped with a unified combat module developed in the Instrument Design Bureau (Tula).
“This combat compartment differs from the usual ones in that it is uninhabited, and the 500 rounds of ammunition in the gunnery are placed in the compartment isolated from the crew and landing force. The 30-mm automatic gun 2А42 is used as the main weapon on it, ”the author writes. A PKT 7,62 mm machine gun with a 2 ammunition ammunition is paired with a gun.
The article notes that “the Kornet ATGM (4 units on two launchers) is deployed as guided weapons, the firing range from 8000 to 10000 m.”
For the first time, the car was demonstrated in closed mode in 2013 at the arms exhibition in Nizhny Tagil.
The engine is installed in the front of the case.
In the last year, the developers, apparently, began to experience some difficulties, as the media ceased to appear news about their successes. However, military experts, who have been tracking the development of wheeled vehicles for many years, see nothing strange in this. They had previously noted that "the creators of new cars will definitely face the lack of modern automatic transmissions, bullet-resistant wheels and other things, without which the latest technology will not be such." But this is only an assumption, no specific information about this from the developers have been reported.
“However, despite the usual for the creation of a new generation of machines of various" zigzags "," Boomerang ", according to experts, will definitely go into the army in the near future. It is quite possible that the new BTR will be openly presented at the new exhibition of ground weapons, which will be held next year in Nizhny Tagil, ”the author makes an optimistic forecast.
