BMP "Dragoon" with 57-mm gun

In Nizhny Tagil on RAE-2015 was presented the own name "Dragoon" radically modernized BMP-3, which at the request of the customer can be armed with various combat modules. Earlier Messenger of Mordovia already talked about this car and its weapons. This time, the agency’s attention was attracted by the unmanned 57-mm automatic artillery unit АУ-220М.

“The combat module is equipped with a modern fire control system with the same optoelectronic sights of the gunner-operator and the commander of the machine. They have several working channels, including thermal imaging, ”the author reports.

According to the materials prevailing at the exhibition, “the firing rate of the gun is at least 80 shots per minute, the target range is 8000 m, the angles of vertical / horizontal guidance are 5 ... + 60 / 360 hail, the ammunition load of the gun is up to 200 shots (of which 80 is ready) shooting), ammunition coaxial PKTM - up to 2000 cartridges ".

According to the author, this 57-mm gun is one of the most powerful in its class. “BMP crews with its help will be able to effectively disable not only BMPs and armored personnel carriers, but also main combat Tankshitting them in the lateral projections, ”concludes the publication.

Rate of fire and possibly flatness. For LB goals, aircraft and manpower 57 more interesting.

Why is this 57mm more interesting in terms of manpower? The land mine 100mm will be more powerful and efficient in every way. The same is true for armor-piercing.

Don't tell. The ZiS-2 was withdrawn from production at the beginning of the war, preference was given to the 76-mm gun, since no worthy targets were found for it - it pierced German tanks through and through. And with the advent of "tigers" and "panthers," the high-speed 57 mm projectile found its way into use. Here, too, not only the caliber plays a role, but the length of the barrel, i.e. projectile speed. In terms of manpower - yes, here the high-explosive 100 mm projectile will be much better.

It seems to be no one sets the task of infantry fighting vehicles. To combat tanks in extreme cases, you can use anti-tank systems. Against the armored personnel carrier 30mm guns is enough. Against the 100mm infantry, a landmine is also preferable. So the need for such modernization is unclear ....

[Uncle VasyaSayapin]

Germany is rearming with new infantry fighting vehicles. Following her, the rest will begin to rearm. I think the new western BMPs are designed to not penetrate 30 mm in the forehead.

[ava09]

The battles are fought not only in endless fields. There is also the concept of versatility, the need to quickly transfer fire, rate of fire with sufficient caliber, ammunition, mobility, dimensions and many more conditions that are calculated by designers and the military and which you may not have heard of. And if you like power so much, then you stopped at 100 mm, there are more powerful guns. Imagine a "vigorous" land mine - it will blow everything to pieces! -)))))

controversial-positional battles are almost no longer being fought, and firing 100th against mobile and small groups is ridiculous. BMP-3 is good for a classic war, but its power is excessive and lacking in fighting against moving groups

[alecsis69]

So is the warrior, where the army against the army has not been around for a long time. And about non-ongoing positional battles, tell us in Donbas.

[alecsis69]

ZiS-2, among other things, was still more difficult to manufacture and, accordingly, more expensive, which in the conditions of the evacuation of factories put an end to the possibility of its mass production, and in the 43rd, when the issue of equipping it with the T-34 was considered, since the F-34 ceased to cope with the armor of new German tanks, the preference was, as is known, given to 85 mm ZiS-53, just because of the greater high-explosive effect.

[Arandir]

It is necessary to be less annoyed by the opinions of others, and the fact that some end up so that they were waiting for the appearance of this weapon on the domestic BBM and finally waited.
They didn’t put 34 mm on the t-57 because the Germans were fixated on the anti-tank battle of their tanks. The Soviet command before the t-34 posed broader tasks: breaking and breaking through the enemy’s defense and fighting enemy tanks. Bunkers, bunkers, artillery, infantry in the field, infantry sheltered in buildings. Will you open 57 mm bunkers?
BR-281 / BR-281U (meeting angle 0 °) for 2000 meters of 70 mm armor, for 500 meters of 110 mm of armor. This is a solid armor-piercing projectile for the ZSU 57-2, which was nicknamed the "hellish thresher". But you can develop BOPS.
ZSU 57-2 was actively used during the Vietnam War, in all Arab-Israeli wars. It worked very well in firing at ground targets during the Lebanese civil war. The Syrian army used self-propelled guns to deal with snipers who sat on the upper floors of Beirut skyscrapers. Also, for ground targets, the installation was used during the civil war in Yugoslavia. A special page in the history of ZSU-57-2 is participation in the Iran-Iraq war, in one of the most bloody conflicts after the Second World War. ZSU was actively used on all fronts, was used for infantry and armored targets. It was then that the Iranians called it the "infernal thresher." This car, despite its venerable age, continues to serve even today. The Iranians still operate self-propelled guns and, apparently, are in no hurry to part with them. ZSU were also seen in northern Iraq.
And about the hugging with 100 mm shells inside the fighting compartment, others wrote.

[Arandir]

And here the staffing of the division we are talking about a specific gun of one combat unit. What exactly is one tank, infantry fighting vehicle, armored personnel carrier can and should do on the battlefield.
Not because they created a heavy tank, even in duplicate, but because military science of those years required light, medium and heavy tanks. Yes, the KV-2 was created to combat the pillboxes and therefore put a 152 mm howitzer on it, but this does not mean that all the breakthroughs were created exclusively by heavy tanks, and all the pillboxes were destroyed exclusively by the KV. Artillery, aircraft, self-propelled guns, heavy tanks. At this moment, the t-34 stood on the sidelines and nervously smoked from its helplessness?
Something tells me that you intentionally bring everything together. Itself can not figure out and confuse others.
So, many opponents need to be a high-class specialist with lightning speed. But judging by the answers, an aggressive amateur.

Quote: tomket

Why is this 57mm more interesting in terms of manpower? Landmine 100mm will be more powerful and efficient. The same for armor-piercing

The 100 mm BMP 3 gun has low ballistics (the initial velocity of the projectile is 250 m / s), which generally excludes the use of armor-piercing shells (BPS), only cumulative and OFS. The power of the 100mm OFS is certainly higher than 57 (four times), but the probability of hitting the target is an order of magnitude lower (there is no flatness — only a hinged path). The rate of fire of the 57mm gun is -120 rounds per minute and the burst of three shells is guaranteed to hit such a complex target as the calculation of ATGMs or machine gunners. It’s hard to say with regard to armor-piercing properties, but the frontal projection of a modern tank will not penetrate either 57mm or 100mm, but it will hit the light projection on the side projection 57mm (armor-piercing projectile (not BPS) 120mm), while the probability of being hit by an automatic gun is higher. Another plus is the ability to 57mm guns to deal with helicopters.

Special aircraft are needed for aircraft, i.e. not so much the caliber and power of the ammunition as the guidance system and rate of fire.
The fragmentation, and the high-explosive action of the 57-mm projectile is not very good. This is me about the infantry.
Such a caliber of guns is used, as a rule, against light- (and not very easy) armored vehicles.
Now MSV, MSR has ATGMs for this, but a platoon of BMP with 57-mm cannons in a company-battalion will not hurt. ATGM can "blunder" in the event of intense interference, powerful EMP, etc. And the cannon ... as Suvorov used to say: "the bullet will cheat, the bayonet will not cheat!"

As for me, the biggest "plus" is the isolated BC. It is somehow not pleasant to sit in an embrace with 100mm shells ... But also the rate of fire, carried ammunition, shells with remote detonation, etc.

[Engineer]

The petrel is pushing its new gun, which for some reason the sheikhs did not want, as I understand it. And so it is not needed on the BMP-3 more than at all. In terms of manpower, a bullet from such a stupid one is lightly armored and takes a 30mm gun, there are no landmines, there are no guided weapons, due to the strong recoil, the BMP's light body will be rocking, so aiming firing will be difficult - at 100mm the recoil is very small. For me, so Bahcha where the balance for the BMP-3.

[Black Colonel]

"... which for some reason the sheikhs did not want ..."
And since when did the sheikhs become marshals of victory?

[KGB WATCH YOU]

1. Sheikhs did not refuse, because there is nothing to refuse, the combat module has not yet been finalized and tested.
2. Under the 57 mm cannon, shells with remote detonation are already being developed, so it’s rather stupid to shoot 100 mm at the infantry (and even carry shells in an embrace with the landing), 30 mm does not have a high explosive effect.
3. 30 mm gun does not take modern infantry fighting vehicles and even some armored personnel carriers.
4. Landmines will be, we return to point 2.

[EvilLion]

There the 100 mm gun is extremely low-pulse, although it can shoot rockets at the armor. Here the argument may be a general simplification of the entire system with a reduction in price.

Question. Than a 57mm gun is better

Since the 57 mm cannon is based on an anti-aircraft cannon, it has higher ballistic properties than the 100mm gun, which means range and accuracy. She is a kind of "golden mean" between 37mm and 100mm guns

[Welcome to hell]

your question, I understand the better 57mm than the one that was on bmp3? Yes, because the one that stood (100mm) fired only high-explosive fragmentation, it was designed to deal purely with infantry and lightly armored vehicles, and 57mm it can effectively fight against air targets and it can penetrate tanks into sides and stern, which essentially makes Its more attractive to some countries. But the RF Ministry of Defense is unlikely to order this modification (57mm) since for us, BMP is primarily infantry support (fighting against enemy infantry and lightly armored vehicles), and for MBT and air targets we have ATGMs and air defense systems that cover each brigade

The combat module also has a fire control system with a sight stabilized in two planes, television and thermal imaging channels, and laser rangefinders. The rate of fire of the gun reaches 120 rounds per minute. The gun uses high-explosive fragmentation, armor-piercing and the latest guided projectiles, which significantly increase the accuracy of fire. In addition to the cannon, the Derivation is equipped with a 7,62 mm machine gun paired with it. The module can conduct a circular attack, the vertical guidance angle is 75 degrees.

AU220M Baikal is a Russian uninhabited combat module with a 57-mm cannon developed by the Central Research Institute Burevestnik. AU-220M made in the form of a remotely controlled artillery unit designed for installation on promising and modernized combat armored vehicles with the aim of increasing the firepower of motorized rifle and infantry units. The ammunition power of the 57-mm gun allows you to hit most of the existing armored objects on the battlefield. The gun is an improved version of the anti-aircraft artillery guns C-60.
57 mm automatic gun of the combat module BM-57 is a modification of the Soviet 57-mm automatic gun AZP-57, which is used as part of the anti-aircraft artillery system C-60developed by the Central Research Institute "Petrel". Previously, this gun was supposed to modernize the PT-76B tank, as part of the AU-220M combat module.

On the contrary. AU-220M is a land version of the ship A-220M, which in turn is a modernized version of the A-220, developed already in the late 60s (the roots of this family grow generally from S-60).
Since then, "Petrel" has been trying in vain to sell this 57-mm cannon to anyone. The problem is that the fleet on light ships is quite happy with the AK-176 and they are not going to reduce the caliber (perhaps the Monsoon MRK disaster also played a role here, when the 57-mm AK-725 seemingly achieved hits, but could not inflict significant damage to a target missile that left the course, which eventually hit the RTO). So I had to do the overland version.

[Neputin]

Tell an ignorant person, will a 57 mm cannon be able to penetrate the side armor of a main tank (for example, a T-90) with an active defense system and other "gadgets"? If so, then why put 100mm and 125mm guns on tanks, if you can get by with 57mm? I am plagued by vague doubts that he cannot.

If I understand correctly, then active armor does not save from such a projectile, it is also focused on a cumulative jet.

[KGB WATCH YOU]

KAZ of the "Arena" type will not save from 57 mm, DZ in 99 cases out of 100 are not placed on the sides (but in vain!), So it will penetrate the T-90 and Abrams, Leopard. But only to the side and stern.

125 mm is needed to pierce tanks in the forehead, oddly enough

Yeah ... and complaints from the motorized riflemen will show up about the weak fragmentation and high-explosive effect of shells. And from mortar bombers - complaints about the inability to burst and fulfill all the infantry requests with regular trunks, some of which the infantry could previously resolve itself, due to the 100 mm OFS.

[KGB WATCH YOU]

So, and now, in more detail, in what conflicts was the BMP-3, BMD-4 involved? The first and last participation of LMWs with 100 mm was in Chechnya (not counting the ongoing confrontation in Yemen, let’s summarize the results of the use of BMP-3 after the conflict), where BMP-3 was broken into molecules due to the presence of 100 mm shells after the first hit. Then followed a ban on the participation of BMP-3 in battles.
57 mm shell has a good high-explosive impact, the ability to use anti-infantry shells (in trenches, in buildings) currently developing shells with remote detonation, ammunition separate from the crew, etc.

PS Here is the result of any BMP-3 hit / detonation (because there is no armor and there are 100 mm shells inside, nothing surprising)

It’s a landmine, and he’ll do practically the same with any lightly armored vehicles, even if you hammer her with bricks. It all depends on how much explosives have been planted.

The first and last participation of LMWs with 100 mm was in Chechnya (not counting the ongoing confrontation in Yemen, let’s summarize the results of the use of BMP-3 after the conflict), where BMP-3 was broken into molecules due to the presence of 100 mm shells after the first hit.

EMNIP, this is not a hit, but a detonation. There, in the video, all the roadsides were in PT-mines. And from the TM "saucers" the same BMP-2 with their 30-mm shells laid out no worse. After all, 6,5 kg (TM-57) or even 8 kg (TM-62) explosive.

But can a 57 mm gun break through the side armor of the main tank

Why put 100 mm and 125 mm guns on tanks, if 57 mm can be dispensed with?

"All sorts of guns are needed, all sorts of guns are important"
There are goals for which a tank shell is luxury and excess.
57mm gun - BMP weapon

And the article is good in its entirety, and the machine presented!

Tell an ignorant person, will a 57 mm cannon be able to penetrate the side armor of a main tank (for example, a T-90) with an active defense system and other "gadgets"? If so, then why put 100mm and 125mm guns on tanks, if you can get by with 57mm? I am plagued by vague doubts that he cannot.

What definitely can be is to remove different surveillance devices. On the other hand, it is unlikely that the MBT crew allowed such an infantry fighting vehicle to the effective firing range. All the same, whatever one may say BMP is not PT. And therefore, the main objective of armament on the BMP is the fight against enemy infantry and armored personnel carriers. The combination of 30mm and 100mm is, in my opinion, optimal.

[Arandir]

Nobody has canceled the ambushes, maneuvering combat, natural terrain, greenhouse, beams, ravines, urban development. Anna Karenina had no choice on the rails before the engine. Why did the Americans take that their abrash would always be just an impenetrable forehead to the enemy deployed?

will break armor in a place with cumulative protection. due to the rate of fire and the initial speed of the ammunition and its filling, respectively. If interested, read about ship Ak. here they reduced the rate of fire. otherwise the tower will be torn off.

[Engineer]

A couple of those already happened - why one more if there is nothing new in it?

Now, if such a module on BMP-2 put. Then progress would be obvious.

[user]

That's interesting, but can the AU-220M be delivered to the BMP-2?
After all, if you upgrade the BMP-2s that are in service, and there are several thousand of them today, with such an installation, the machine will simply immediately transfer to another class of vehicles.

[KGB WATCH YOU]

They didn’t fit

Perhaps later they will put on heavy infantry fighting vehicles.

and 57 manpower more interesting.

Why is this 57mm more interesting in terms of manpower? The land mine 100mm will be more powerful and efficient in every way. The same is true for armor-piercing.

but you can substantiate your position with specific numbers, and then justification by the term "anything" is too much for me. I would like to understand how much one 100mm HE shell will be more powerful than a burst of 10-15 57mm HE shells fired within 10-12 seconds.

[tomket]

Quote: Buxus

I would like to understand how much one 100mm HE projectile will be more powerful than the line of 10-15 57mm HE launched in 10-12 seconds.

We proceed from the assumption that the projectile will still hit the target, and not from the fact that it is necessary to plow the field with shells and fill the BMP with shell casings, like the Americans with their Gatlings.

[Arandir]

And if you still don’t hit the target and you just need to plow the field with shells, given that the shells are ejected from the BMP automatically

[bish]

To combat the calculation of ATGMs, it is sometimes better to plow the field than send it once 100 mm. If another 57 mm is equipped with the ability to detonate at a given distance in the air, it will be possible to greatly complicate the life of anti-tank infantry calculations.

[Maksus]

57mm - a good caliber, but the question arises with ammunition - what will be the nomenclature? You can’t shove a normal formatting object in 57mm, but you can make quality BOPS.

[Genry]

At 57mm, it will shove much more than 30mm (once every 8). Plus a smart fuse with remote detonation. Flying over the trench or around the corner of the building or through the fence will delight the enemies hiding there with a beautiful bouquet of fragments.
According to the cost of production: _ the number of operations on the conveyor 30mm and 57mm will be the same, hence the cost differs only in the volume of materials, which is insignificant in relation to the cost of manufacture.

[Corsair0304]

Well, the controversy has begun! In my opinion, both the one and the other machine have both their pros and cons.
Here you need to understand that RAE is a kind of car dealership where PR-actions for the sale of products are held. And just like in a car dealership, there is a demonstration of equipment for "super-duper" equipment and "that's such a little price."
To summarize: only military tests and not in a year or two, but more thoughtful ones, can reveal all the advantages and disadvantages of machines in full. Here I subscribe to the opinion of "KGB WATCH YOU" on the nomenclature of shells for 57-mm and weak protection of the crew and troops in the vehicle version with 100-mm.

"The first and last participation of the LME with 100 mm was in Chechnya (apart from the ongoing confrontation in Yemen, we will summarize the results of the use of the BMP-3 after the end of the conflict), where the BMP-3 exploded into molecules due to the presence of 100 mm shells after the first hit. Then came the ban on the participation of BMP-3 in battles. "

[Arandir]

Among other things, 57-mm is also the possibility of anti-aircraft fire, it is possible to defend yourself from air attacks on your own in the absence of "Tungus", etc. And the problem with unmanned vehicles is being solved, of which there are many. You will shoot 100 mm at the crumbs. 30 mm "puma" in the forehead does not need to use ATGM or 100 mm, 57-mm is enough. 4 pieces of 57-mm are better than one 100-mm infantry. Remote detonation in the air in this context is much more interesting than high-explosive fragmentation. And if necessary, on an unarmored convoy of trucks in machine-gun mode.
It was not without reason that they put 100 and 30 mm in the pair, which means that one caliber is not enough, and the other is redundant for other purposes. And during the fighting, the provision of two calibers is immediately more problematic than one.
In general, 57 mm is an interesting caliber since the days of Grabin. Excessive strength before the appearance of the "tigers".
Two times less than 100, two times more than 30. The golden mean.
This cannon would have two more remote-controlled modules: a coaxial 57-mm grenade launcher with ptm. Two are so independent. This would be the "terminator" "serpent gornovich". Uncle of "Cheburashka" Lysenkovsky.
In terms of firepower against lightly armored and undefended targets, he would have no equal even among promising tanks.

[vlad7777kul]

Increase the caliber. It looks like 30mm is no longer satisfied.

[ya.seliwerstov2013]

I like the idea. 57mm is the thing!
+ uninhabited fighting compartment.

[Leeder]

Quote: tomket

Question. Than 57mm gun is better than 100mm gun ???

And also, with large ammunition, the weight of the gun (the speed of rotation of the gun, the ability to install more armor), takes up less space. For ballistics, less impact, better flatness, the ability to conduct more intense fire on aircraft.
Only it seems to me that the ammunition 200 will not be enough ...

[IS-80]

This 57 mm cannon is not needed. Avt is right. But "Bakhcha" also needs modernization. A 30 mm gun needs to be replaced with a 45 mm gun, and a 100 mm gun with a 125 mm gun launcher. This will unify the range of ammunition and increase combat effectiveness.

[Arandir]

Better yet, the "tulip" and the "hyacinth" paired with it, and a bundle of "cornflowers" and "acacia"

If it is necessary to destroy the ATGM calculation, it will be preferable to plow the field 57 mm than send it once 100 mm, not the fact that it will cover the entrenched infantrymen. If at 57 mm they realize the possibility of undermining a projectile in the air at a given distance, the fight against anti-tank crews using a 57 mm gun will become much better, I think it will be easier to hit the aircraft like that.

What prevents to make remote detonation on a 100 mm gun?

[corporal]

The Swedes out for their 40 mm and BOPS and programmable OFS did, and rejoice. So if you make the same for 57 mm - it will be better and more powerful in armor penetration and fragmentation, respectively.
Although, if specialists consider 57 excessive, then you can return to 45 ke with the same idea of ​​BOPS and programmable.

[Maxwrx]

I'm for 57mm! but I want to add to the previous comments.
1. the weight will be less than melon, and therefore better throughput, reliability, etc.
2. The cost of production of melon is many times greater than this module.
3. less projection (read the probability of hitting)

[common man]

Please compare the volume occupied by different modules inside the BMP.
1. Berezhok.

2. Melon.

3. Derivation.
