"Boomerang": where did the best armored personnel carrier in the world go?


The APC-7829 BTR based on the Boomerang medium wheeled platform became one of the 2015 world sensations of the year. For the first time in more than 55 years, we have created a fundamentally new wheeled armored vehicle for motorized infantry units, which has nothing in common with the BTR-60 / BTR-70 / BTR-80 / BTR-82 and BTR-90 family.

The year began for “Boomerang” very alarmingly. At the end of 2014, it was not clear from whose submission, information appeared in the media that these armored personnel carriers are not ready and therefore will not be able to take part in the May 9 Parade.

The Herald of Mordovia was one of the few publications that told the truth: Boomerang will still take part in the ceremonial passage through Red Square.

We then referred to the materials that were posted on the website zakupki.gov.ru, where the documentation was submitted on the electronic auction for the purchase of works on the technical supervision of Boomerang armored personnel carriers for the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2015.

As expected, 12 machines were supposed to take part in the jubilee events.

However, there was no certainty that we would see VPK-7829. A peculiar informational "oil to fire" was the publication in the bmpd blog respected by all who are interested in military topics: "The Boomerang program becomes a victim of sanctions." In addition to everything else, it was reported that "all three Boomerang prototypes built were stuck in Ireland, and their future prospects, like the entire contract, are unknown." This material has caused a great resonance in various publications, especially Ukrainian. In total, several dozens of materials appeared: from relatively neutral in form of supply - to joyous-stinging ones, where frank joy was not hidden due to the "total failure of this Russian program."

True, for some reason, no one who was delighted wanted to draw attention to the fact that the bmpd blog posted information ... April 1. For the most dull-witted, a message appeared that "this material, of course, is an April Fools' rally." But the majority of publications that took everything seriously did not give any refutations. They even missed, as they say, past the eyes and ears of the message, which appeared on April 3: VPK-7829, also known as Boomerang, despite all the negative predictions, takes part in rehearsals of the military parade, which take place in Alabino near Moscow. "Messenger of Mordovia" and wrote about it among the very first.



True, everyone then noticed that 4 machines took part in the rehearsals (three closed the passage of technology, one in reserve). Moreover, of all the new models involved, this BTR was the most “disguised” - only undercarriage elements were visible from under the tarpaulin.

Initially participating in rehearsals in Alabino "Boomerangs" were equipped with a combat module, armed with a machine gun caliber 12,7 mm. By the way, the illustration that appeared later on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed the “Boomerang” precisely in the “machine-gun version”. But closer to the Parade, all 4 machines urgently received modules with 30-mm guns and the Kornet ATGM.

According to military experts, this re-equipment of the military-industrial complex-7829 indicates the modularity of the design and the high potential of this platform.



Gradually, during rehearsals, the military removed the covers of secrecy, and more and more construction details could be seen. Experts admired the modular booking, the presence of a well-designed stern ramp, a protected bottom.

It is worth noting that before the Boomerang appeared in the Moscow region, many of the amateur and professional artists tried to recreate the look of a promising machine, but they, as a rule, produced samples that were very similar to their Western counterparts. But the real "Boomerang" outwardly very different from foreign cars, and, for the better.

At the anniversary Parade with "Boomerangs" there were no problems. They were given the honorable duty to complete the passage of the mechanized column.

However, after the May premiere, the armored personnel carriers seemed to have disappeared. About them there was almost no open information on the forums and exhibitions of weapons. Only the corporate edition of OAO Plant of Corpuses (Vyksa, Nizhny Novgorod Region), the newspaper Bronya Otechestva, revealed some details of the creation of this combat vehicle.



It turns out that the development of the Boomerang production at this plant began in the 2013 year, and in July the first building was manufactured 2013.

At the beginning of 2014, Military Engineering Center LLC applied for an experimental industrial batch. As noted in the publication, the deadlines were tight - the last building had to be delivered in December 2014.

In early April, began preparations for the manufacture of "Boomerangs". To this end, a lot of work was carried out on the modernization and procurement of new equipment, including unique belt grinding and laser systems of increased power.

For the manufacture of an experimental industrial batch the most qualified specialists were involved. In the course of work on the product, many design issues arose, for the solution of which workers from the Military Engineering Center were invited.

As a result, the first building was manufactured in July, and the last - in October 2014, that is, the work was completed ahead of the prescribed time, with the required quality.



According to reports, work on this armored personnel carrier continues, and this year we will be able to get acquainted with this vehicle in more detail.

              At the first stage, an exoskeleton does not need batteries; it is necessary to maintain all that is hung on a person. Try to run, at least an hour, with 35 kg, this is still a little weight, or stand still, oh ... shit, back and not only this will start to buzz. There would be a skeleton, weighing no more than 5-7 kg maximum, on which all this would be supported, and the energy is you yourself, it would be much easier to move around. The whole problem of the exoskeleton is in ergonomics, so that it does not interfere with the movement in materials.

                What nonsense !!! Excuse me, but you yourself contradict yourself: you write about a skeleton of 5-7 kg, which drags a load of ~ 35 kg, and you see, it’s hard for you to drag them yourself. Great! But then explain who will drag ~ 40-42kg, taking into account the skeleton ??? You claim that you - but you also need to drag 35? Do not look at cheap action movies and fiction, you will be smarter ...
                PS And what you are discussing with such a smart mind is an unloading vest, not an exoskeleton. Here, yes, I completely agree, with the mathematical calculation of your physique + the latest materials - it will be easier.

                    And what? I tried it (only not 35kg), grinned my teeth, but alive. You somehow cleverly jumped off the topic. The conversation was about an exoskeleton without power, on muscular traction (yours). I explained to you on my fingers: look less cheap science fiction and action films, well, there are no such exoskeletons. You would at least get into the wiki before proving nonsense with foam at the mouth. There was one development, K2, it was even assembled 1 copy on the basis of a steel or titanium "ridge", carbon fiber reinforced plastic, dural bearings and nylon belts. Loading capacity is 50kg. The cost of manufacturing as an airplane is done individually! for each person. Now think - is it easier for the state to rivet unloading or take a measure from each soldier for K2? Therefore, they made it - like amer's muzzle stick in the mud, in the 1st copy. And in conclusion: any self-respecting warrior (not a conscript) ALWAYS his own uniform "for himself" jew's harp. And it doesn't matter: the standard remakes it to order or orders it somewhere (I'm on the topic: unloading with mat. Calculation for your figure and measuring the effort, or K2 for the price of 2 planes). And your thoughts "an exoskeleton on a muscular traction for every soldier" I repeat - nonsense. I hope you don’t have to chew that if you create an exoskeleton for food, it will be akin to armor and unloading - standardized?

And you will never see in real conditions, and then once again they come to bear democracy and it starts, there are no roads, it’s cold, and so on .. I’d like to look at Piranka and others in real off-road conditions .. I’m putting a video of our BTR-80 in the swamp he was stuck on the very sides BUT though he got out for a long time himself!

          Well, firstly: he didn’t sit on the very sides, but sat on the bottom, several different situations, which you can get into only by youth and stupidity, and secondly, when all the bridges are leading, you need to unscrew the wheels of the first pair and cling to the edges of the track, lift the bottom from the ground. It is necessary to move back and forth with small rolls and in no case should the wheels be allowed to turn, then the wheel crushes the soil under itself, and does not throw it from front to back.

        The French will help create an armored personnel carrier with an exit "through the back"
        Mass purchases of foreign military equipment for the needs of the Russian army are not planned, representatives of the Ministry of Defense said at the end of last week. But the joint development of new defense industry products seems to be outlined.
        Deputy Director General of Rosoboronexport Igor Sevastyanov said at the forum that a new infantry fighting vehicle is being developed jointly with France. And also the French offered to design a new Russian-French armored personnel carrier. What base the Russian-French BMP will have, which they promise to show in finished form in a couple of years, is not yet entirely clear. Perhaps it will look like a French wheeled armored vehicle VBCI, "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" writes.
        At the "Oboronexpo-2012" exhibition, which took place within the framework of the forum - another exhibition program was "Mashpromexpo-2012", the French showed the VBCI model. The characteristics of the armored vehicle are as follows: ballistic protection thanks to a body made of aluminum alloy with interconnected modular armor or Hard Kill type; protection against mines, land mines and homing missiles; "Invisible" function provided by special coatings; airmobility, maneuverability.
        Absolutely all Russian infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, especially deeply modernized ones, are built according to exactly the same principles, notes RG and expresses doubt that the French vehicle would have overcome the domestic model during comparative tests. However, the BTR-90 was rejected - for one simple reason: it has a rear engine compartment, which seems to contradict the world practice of designing combat vehicles for infantry, the newspaper writes. It is noteworthy that, according to experts, even a non-aimed automatic fire into the huge rear opening of the open ramp is guaranteed to destroy the entire landing - with direct hits and ricochets. But getting into the side doors of the BTR-80 or BTR-90 is almost impossible. But the decision has been made, and Russian designers are now designing new armored personnel carriers with an exit through the back, sums up "RG".

            The Germans did not copy the Panther with the T-34, made decisions on the slopes of the armor and some on the MTO. So the general layout is taken from earlier German tanks. The second competitor for the Panther role was almost a copy of the T-34. MAN from PzIII and IV danced.

              Only the optimal angles of inclination of armor were developed by the Institute of Armor Alloys and long-term shelling of armor, delivered at various angles. Initially, the requirements for the new tank were: a V-2 diesel engine, Anti-cannon armor (also developed by the Institute of Armor) with tilt angles for the frontal and side sections, a 76 mm cannon with 30 calibers. The Germans took tilt angles without any institutes and experienced firing. If it's not copying, then what? Yes, the layout is different, but only because of the transmission in the frontal part of the tank, they paid for the height of the car. The panther could compete in height with the "Boomer", and surpassed all the fighting tanks up to 44 years old, except for the T-35.

                The Germans took the armor tilt from the calculation of protection against any 76-mm and 85-mm anti-aircraft guns. And they carried out shelling of different types of defense. Transmission in the frontal part does not affect the height of the tank - see other tanks.

                  Affects:
                  The main drawback of such an arrangement, which is characteristic, of course, of the Panther, was to increase the overall height of the machine. The height of the floor of the fighting compartment above the bottom (at the Panther - 500 mm) was limited by the driveshaft, which passed at the level of the engine crankshaft.

                  Another factor affecting the height of the German tanks was the "forest" of torsion bars:
                  An increase in the height of the tank was also promoted by an unsuccessful solution to the suspension elements, in which the torsion bars located above the bottom occupied 213 mm of the hull height. Placing 32 torsion bars above the bottom precluded the possibility of useful use of the volume between them.

                  If the Germans hadn't been chasing the notorious "smoothness" and "ease of control", they would have received a tank with heavy armor (90 mm forehead, 75 mm side) and with a mass of 31-32 tons. What kind of tank are we talking about, PMSM, you understood. wink

        I will answer with a quote wassat

        Here is one more "nail of the salon" - a joint concept with the French of a heavy wheeled infantry fighting vehicle with a 57-mm machine gun produced by the Nizhny Novgorod Central Research Institute "Burevestnik". It's still a little far away from the real BMP, and the declared characteristics of the vehicle are vague, although not without interest. The car does not seem to have a name yet, but literally already in the course of the salon they put a plate with a name, but with the abbreviation ATOM.

        To put it mildly, there is not much new in the car. The base is the well-known French VBCI BMP. Only new is the domestic module with a 57-mm cannon, but how it will be brought to the declared characteristics, and how it will still take root on this chassis from the point of view of combat use, is clearly not the year 2013, but the subsequent ones.

        And so it’s quite a "africa tank" for export to third countries, especially if you think over a complex of weapons and make a whole family of machines on this base. But - clearly not news of the front pages. Although it turned out to create a sensation on the eve of the salon: the Internet, seeing a photograph of a mega-BMP brought to Nizhny Tagil, was alarmed, deciding that this was the notorious "Boomerang" - a promising wheeled platform for combat vehicles of the Russian army.

Personally, I will not buy such a bond, and not because I do not like the army, but because we are already ahead of the rest of the planet in terms of armament speed. Special ships are being built for cruise missiles, and we are firing them from torpedo tubes. New does not mean good, only on the Su-27 only 30% of the parts from the produced machines were used, usually only 25-30% of the innovation is already a new model.

Or the first production jet engines, although there was a TR-1 Cradle. Sooner or later, we’ll still find out the details, but for now, we’ll only get the minus for the opinion. lol

          You remember the genealogy of T-34: A-20 - A-32 - A-34. By the method of successive approximations from a light tank, we got an average ... from here, by the way, many problems of the T-34 "grow" - from a spring suspension and a 4-speed gearbox to a turret ring and observation devices found above the cannon breech.

            T34 is a hybrid, both from a snake and a hedgehog, from 2 tanks - a Christie tank and its development and FCM36 (reservation scheme). Many do not know, but the FCM was the impetus for the development of inclined reservations - it was seen by our delegation in France, and by chance - it broke again and repaired on the road where they passed.

            And I would also remember the YAG-12 four-axle. Probably no one knows: but one book, it seems, "Tankers in the Defense of Leningrad" describes the moment when they were looking for a way to ferry KV tanks across the ice of Lake Ladoga from Leningrad to the "Main Land". The towers (7 tons each) were removed from the tanks and lightened to a minimum, the tank itself without a tower could move on the ice, but how to transport the towers? And then they found in one of the courtyards "huge" four-axle Yag-12. The car transported one tower in the back, two on sleds, which were towed by cables to spread the weight over a large area of ​​ice. So we also had four-axle vehicles, though not so massive.

      Boomerang, kmk, strongly conflicts with the KAMAZ Typhoon. The boomerang is lower, which makes it more protected, but does not allow the landing to be fired off, although the military compartment at Bumerag is much more powerful, which more than compensates for the drawback, especially in light of the built-in network-centric system. Mine protection is probably the same. The main question is in cost, permeability in the desert and Arctic conditions, comfort for military personnel. KMK, Boomerang, nevertheless, is better suited for warfare than Typhoon. But you need to compare in the same conditions.

No Typhoon truck has such capabilities. Armored trucks are designed to transport soldiers and goods mainly on the roads.

Where is its niche? As an infantry fighting vehicle and armored personnel carrier Kurganets will be. Not so overall, on a tracked chassis, and with normal armor ... The BTR82 and Nonna-K are normal as a mb. A new machine is being created for the Marines.

    Need wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, their resource is higher than that of tracked ones and the price is cheaper. Plus there are fewer problems with logistics. For countries with hard ground you can do entirely wheeled vehicles. MPAP and BMP-machines for different needs. Fighting and police operations are two different things. MCI, ideally, is the replacement of military trucks and 4x4 vehicles to eliminate losses. BMP for fire.

Well, there’s a big difference between a normal ATGM and a target between 2.5 meters high and 3 meters high. Well, and also that they will not run into APC mines.

            After reading messages like yours, I sincerely want to take everyone who thinks so, dress like a normal fighter, and force them to jump out of the BTR-80 under fire, kicking the loin if they do it too slowly. After this, everyone participating with great pleasure will climb into Boomerang, sing odes of increased silhouette, normal height, ramps and write a collective letter to the Ministry of Defense in support of the procurement of this wonderful technique.

                And the second one is stitched from any small arms and is wonderfully undermined. If we proceed from "women give birth to new", then indeed the first is significantly more expensive. And if all this is to remember that a fighter still needs to be trained and for a very long time, then in fact the second will be more expensive. The life of a trained soldier in modern wars is generally expensive.

                If you carry in luxury buses, then the normal fighters will be even more grateful to you.


                We also have smart buses in the form of various Typhoons, they will also carry fighters in them, but they have a different application. And this is for you the gratitude of the fighter for something to joke about, but for me this is a clear criterion. Now I remember one of the versions of the Tiger armored car that doesn’t have a back step ... but why is it needed at all? Climbing up and so wonderful. But they forgot to ask heavily loaded fighters and they are forced to climb into the car from behind helping each other, supporting and pushing. They would put a bandwagon on all versions and the fighter would be grateful, he would quickly and easily climb into an armored car, which in some situations is critically important.

                    The main word here is "transportation". Boomerang is a typical wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, which, in addition to transportation, is intended for direct participation in combat and support for infantry. The Typhoons and the Federal do not have a combat module with a 30mm cannon, but, for example, they have a windshield that is wonderfully disabled and must be replaced. Should we talk about less security? I hope no. Typhoon and Federal are just trucks that are designed exclusively for transporting not only personnel, but also cargo. IMHO all these MRAPs are a development of the idea of ​​a classic armored personnel carrier which has absolutely identical tasks.

                    The issue of the need for wheeled infantry fighting vehicles in the current situation is really controversial and requires familiarization with classified information. What is the degree of protection of the Boomerang? What is firepower? How much does it cost per unit? And how much does a typhoon cost per unit? Etc. A boomerang can turn out to be both a very profitable acquisition and vice versa unprofitable.

A boomerang is already a technique designed to perform certain combat missions, and not just to transport fighters.

                Too soft and not appropriate for the situation. Calmly loaded, unloaded this one, and on adrenaline when bullets hit the armor, when tears are heard, and so on. this is a completely different matter.

          According to the charter, the armored personnel carrier must be abandoned before the start of the battle, and if it did not work out, then it is better not to stick out, you can get the RGD-1 into the open hatch. "Hey! Drove let's turn back until we catch a pig, if you don’t d ..., then drive full throttle until we are flattened soft-boiled!"

            So this is a bad charter (by the way, I don’t remember this) which stipulates clairvoyant fighters who should know in which particular section the battle will begin. Well, in the open hatch you can get RGDs only from those who are in close proximity to it, which is difficult to say the least. AND! Well and yes: there is still a boomerang in the BMP variant. How it will be adopted is certainly a question.

    Where did you disappear to? I have the first thought in my head in response to such a question about refinement, testing and other necessary measures for such a young platform. This is absolutely normal and the main thing is that the quality is at its best and the machine goes to the troops.

    I myself served where the gas-66 was considered to be the military equipment for the transportation of l / s, so it’s not special, but the designers would not be bothered about the convenience for embarkation and disembarkation and the transportation itself, even if there was nothing in the order about this “Detalka” is not said.
    RS: I was able to watch only one video from a YouTube, asks to turn off safe mode, but there are a lot of videos with specific things on the site. Not solid somehow.

    In my opinion, Boomerang is an unfortunate name for a Russian project. We have an interesting approach to choosing the name of weapons, for example: "Buratino", "Zoo", "Hyacinth", "Carnation" ... We must follow the tradition.

    The question of where this APC disappeared is certainly interesting, but who said that this APC is the best in the world when no one really saw it and in real battles did not experience it. Are we in a hurry to overestimate our domestic armaments and military equipment based solely on patriotic feelings? After all, it has already happened more than once when for such evaluations you had to pay hundreds of the lives of your soldiers and officers.

    I care about the empty space between the wheels and the side. As if if aiming, everything will fly there. I would try to hang protective shields covering the wheels to half. Either anti-cumulative or solid plates, or solid plates, which, if necessary, simply rise. (so that it is hinged to the bottom of the side) in the case of solid plates, they will also cover the wheels from unnecessary bullets 7,62.
