Why the fighter "Leopards" and "Abrams" "Octopus-SDM1" will be the best in the world?
Self-propelled anti-tank gun 2S25M "Octopus-SDM1", first demonstrated at the International military-technical forum "Army-2015", after intensive testing should enter the arsenal of the Russian airborne troops. But now military experts believe that this self-propelled gun, which can rightfully be attributed to the lungs tanks, is the best in the world and significantly surpasses the cars of a similar class available in foreign arsenals.
There are no more machines with such powerful weapons in the world - the 2C25М has an 1252М gun installed, capable of firing modern armor-piercing sub-caliber, cumulative, high-explosive projectiles, as well as ammunition with remote blasting on the trajectory. Such means of destruction are especially effective against enemy personnel, calculations of anti-tank guided missiles.
This greatly increases the chances of the Sprut-SDM1 to survive in battle. Specialists of the Volgograd machine-building company VgTZ emphasize that, in terms of firepower, the updated Sprut corresponds to the level of another Russian novelty - the main battle tank T-90MS. It should also be mentioned that 2С25М can use anti-tank weapons, thanks to which enemy equipment can be hit at maximum range to 5 km. Total in ammunition STP 40 shells, including 22 - in a mechanized ammunition.
If there was one PKTM machine gun paired with a gun on the old self-propelled self-propelled gun, then on a modernized machine, a remote-controlled machine gun with a caliber 7,62 mm was installed on the turret. As a result, the commander of the vehicle got the opportunity to independently hit the identified targets at the moment when the main armament is already in use by the gunner-operator. General ammunition machine guns - 2000 cartridges.
In addition to the firepower of the T-90MS, a similar level and fire control system, in simple terms, the 2C25М has the same sights as the Nizhny Tagil tank, fire control sights. This is considered to be one of the world's best gunner-operator Sosna-U, with television and thermal channels. As well as a panoramic sight commander of the control panel with similar channels. Both sights have the ability to automatically track the target. In case of damage to the main sights, there is a doubler sight, it is an optical-electronic one with a vertical line of aiming and autonomous power supply.
The combat vehicle has an information and control chassis system, which greatly facilitates the operation, the identification of malfunctions. The newest communication complex has frequency modulation and technical masking.
By units and parts of the chassis, as well as by the engine-transmission compartment, it is unified with the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle. UTD-500 29-strong multi-fuel diesel develops power in 500 hp , thanks to which the 18-ton combat vehicle with a crew of three can move at speeds up to 70 km / h by land and at least 7 km / h by water. Moreover, the machine can overcome water obstacles in case of agitation up to 3 points.
The tank destroyer also has a highly efficient independent variable hydropneumatic suspension. Given the specificity of the use of this machine, as a rule, they will act from shelters and ambushes, the ability to "lie down" on the bottom of the ground is difficult to overestimate.
According to military experts, the Sprut-SDM1, in addition to the airborne units, can be used in parts of the marines, in the anti-tank units of the ground forces that have outdated anti-tank guns MT-12 "Rapier". Surely "Sprut –SDX1" will be purchased by representatives of foreign armed forces who need equipment of this type.
