BMP "Dragoon" on RAE-2015
In Nizhny Tagil, at the RAE-2015 exhibition, the BMP-3M “Dragoon” is presented with an engine over 800 hp. and unmanned combat module, reports Messenger of Mordovia.
Compared with the basic version, the BMP-3M completely redesigned the troop compartment: “it has comfortable ergonomic chairs, and the floor, apparently, has a special anti-explosion coating,” the publication notes.
Existing seat belts should be useful to the personnel, because the machine thanks to the 816-strong turbo diesel engine has outstanding power and mobility.
“The crew of the car is located in the front. The commander and operator’s gunner are at the disposal of standardized automated guidance panels and panel computers, ”Vestnik writes.
The fuel tanks designed by the Steel Research Institute, with a self-covering coating, are located at the stern.
The combat module, isolated from the crew and the assault forces, is larger than the standard BMP-3, “since the 100-mm cannon with the ammunition load is located there, as well as the PKTM X-gun and the PCTM machine gun, of course,” - notes the publication.
According to experts, "Dragoon" can be regarded as a new generation in the family of BMP-3. Fighting vehicles, no doubt, will interest those foreigners who already have experience in operating Russian technology, as well as those who have yet to make their choice.
