India will spend $ 2 billion to upgrade BMP-2

India decided to modernize its BMP-2 fleet, allocating more than $ 2 billion to it. Russia will provide assistance in improving the machines, which will supply new fire control systems and weapons, reports Lenta.ru report.

Total will be upgraded 969 combat vehicles. According to the newspaper, they "will receive Russian-made Kornet-E anti-tank systems, as well as new optoelectronic equipment and communication systems."

Modernization assigned to Medak Ordnance Factor in Medak (South India). The project involves the involvement of Indian manufacturers with a gradual increase in components of domestic production. This is necessary to gain experience, which will then be used to create your own new generation of armored vehicles.

Experts say that, most likely, we are talking about modernization with the installation of the Berehok military module developed in Russia. The work of this module, installed on the BMP-2, was demonstrated to the Indian military by Algerian colleagues. It is reported that representatives of the Armed Forces of India were pleased with what they saw.

According to the developers of the module (Tula Instrument Design Bureau), "the combat capabilities of machines with Berezhk increase 4-6 times."

No, well, it’s nice when Algerians advertise our equipment to the Indians. Well done Tulaki, work with dignity. And the currency in Russia flows not only for oil and gas.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Come on India .. Russia promised and will do it! We will show them in battle ... Do not regret it ..

[Yars]

this deal will help the Russian defense industry in the first place, which will have a very positive effect on the country's economy!

[Now we are free]

Yes, it was a very competent decision on the part of the Indians to install the Berezhok complex on almost a thousand machines. Of course, we would like our BMP-2s to be modernized with its help, because (retraining crews will require minimal costs + costs are much less than for the production of new machines) until the mass saturation of the BMP-3 aircraft, and even more so only passing state. tests of "Kurganets" are still far away, and if we also take into account the rapidly changing geopolitical situation in the world, the time until the hypothetical "hour H" is less and less ...

[Uncle VasyaSayapin]

I just do not understand the price. For this money it would be possible not to upgrade, but to buy the same amount of BMP-3. Shaw, officials in India want to get 1st place in the world championship kickbacks?

[vodolaz]

Apparently a good combat module, since the Indians saw on the side and wanted the same.

[Basarev]

But I'm wondering: why everywhere and everywhere on the BMP single-barreled gun? Or on BMPT two single-barrel? Isn't it better to put GSh-30K as the main caliber of such equipment? Helicopter pilots in Afghanistan were delighted with it.

[aleks 62 next]

.... Isn't it better to put the GSh-30K as the main caliber of such equipment? Helicopter pilots in Afghanistan were delighted with it ....

.... And attach a trailer with cartridges at the back to the beh ... .... What is the rate of fire of the GS-30 ???? .... That's it ..... In aviation, the target on the front sight is a split second and you need to get a lot of salvo, so all aircraft guns have a frantic rate of fire, in order to plant the maximum amount of metal in the target in these fractions of a second .... This is not necessary on the ground ... The goals are all slow-moving and the issue is solved in a different way ....

[VP]

For what ?
If you want to strengthen the striking effect - increase the caliber. Increasing the number of trunks makes sense only for specific tasks.

[captain]

Maybe on our BMP-2, BMP-1 and armored personnel carriers of all stripes we will put.

[marlin1203]

And then to all this modernized economy to supply components and ammunition ... charm!

[Basarev]

And yet, it is not clear to me: why on the Frame at once two 2A42? What are the visible advantages of two single-barrel downs over one double-barreled? In my opinion, there are no advantages other than disadvantages. Ballistics is worse due to the shorter barrel, rate of fire is lower, it is more difficult to constructively ... In general, I’m thinking that it would be nice to install a mount for the UPK-23-250 gondola instead of a gun on all these armored vehicles. There will be a small unification of weapons with aviation.
And it’s easier and cheaper ...

already turned on, do not worry, because BRICS was created for this

India has long-standing accounts with England, and can wedge itself in the struggle against the Anglo-Saxons.

BMP-2 with the installation "Berezhka" was modernized for Algeria. An additional panoramic sight was installed on them. The location of the AGS-17 has been changed, 4 ATGM "Kornet" launchers have been installed. In 2005, a contract was signed with Algeria for the modification of 300 vehicles to the level of BMP-2M.
However, this is much better than the Indians themselves modernized:

The Indians, if they have not learned how to make armored vehicles, are very successfully moving in this direction. Such a nice Indian combat platform Tata Motors-VRDE (DRDO) Wheeled Armored Platform (WhAP), under the designation "Kestrel", was presented by them at the DEFEXPO exhibition in 2014. Uninhabited tower, ATGM "Spike" and "Javelin", 10 troops. Camouflage of course out ...

the gimmick of cunning.
all these "modernizations" and "improvements" are not from a good life. but the "bus" with side glazing and the hull of the BMPs on wheels from the TATA are really sad
at least ask the manufacturers what and how you can adapt on the BMP-1 (2) chassis, what are the possibilities.
and then "specialists" the sea, but it turns out ...

It's just that at one time the Indians were seized with an itch to do everything of their own - planes, engines for them, missiles, etc. - as a rule, it turns out, well, or nothing at all. This itch came down to armored vehicles. At first, after long torment, it turned out "Arjun", but now the turn has come to tracked and wheeled armored vehicles, which we see in the pictures ...

A lot can be adapted to the BMP chassis, the experience of the Cubans who created a good family of armored vehicles on their basis is especially instructive

They are going to upgrade their BMP for 3 years, they won’t start anything. The story is the same as with the purchase of Rafaley

[Alexey RA]

According to experts, most likely, we are talking about modernization with the installation of the Berezhok combat module developed in Russia.

If so, that’s good. Because, the more a foreign customer orders these modules, the greater the likelihood that domestic MO will join the order.
He loves with us MO serial export products, in which the chain of subcontractors is established, and all bugs were caught by foreign customers, and the price (due to seriality) is not too high, and delivery times (due to the same established series) are sane.

[Corsair0304]

Why not. We’ll see how it serves there, maybe we will find out something pleasant for ourselves. Positive however.

Damn, why there is no news about the fact that the grandmothers seized from two arrested governors and one official from the Moscow Region

We have a rule-of-law state, money is material evidence, lies in the UK or somewhere, and besides, it is necessary to prove that the money was not earned by overwork. Well, or return with an apology (something like Serdyukov-Vasilyeva).

[padded jacket]

Well done, that they didn't have enough sense to adopt the "squalor" which they developed together with the Israeli regime, in particular, the "Raphael" company
Especially "kill" the windows in this so-called BMP.

A total of 969 combat vehicles will be upgraded.

and just

they "will receive Russian-made Kornet-E anti-tank systems, as well as new optoelectronic equipment and communication systems"

Something else needs to be installed. Definitely an engine with a transmission, a new 30mm gun, active protection.

Here it pleases, being completed with domestic production. There will be work, there will be a holiday.
