Scorpion tested for durability with 152-mm projectile

A video appeared on the network in which the lightweight Scorpion armored car is tested for strength by detonating a landmine, which was played by an 152-mm projectile, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

“According to the test conditions, the car is about a hundred meters away from an installed explosive device. The video camera is fixed inside the car. The video continued after the explosion, so the camera was not hit by the blast wave, ”comments video“ RG ”.

As then demonstrated in the video, the car body, glass and loopholes withstood the blows of the howitzer shell fragments.



Help newspaper: “The Scorpion prototype lightweight armored car was first shown in 2011 year. The bottom of the V-shaped can withstand the explosion of a land mine with a capacity of up to six kilograms of TNT. On tests during an explosion under the bottom of four kilograms of explosives, the car lost its chassis, but the hull remained intact. Five-ton "Scorpion" is designed to carry up to eight people. The standard weapon is the Pecheneg 7,62 mm machine gun. ”

There will be much less damage if you put the car in 1000 m from the explosion.

[Observer2014]

What is it! There is a new armored car in Ukraine that is not a day! As much as each holds 6 kg of TNT under him! "Ne may be analogous to the suite" everyone! So the test was not impressed. Now, if he (Scorpio) could withstand a direct hit from 152 mm guns from then yes! And so there is no offset.
p / s For the slow-witted, it was a joke. And the armored car was made wisely. Since even the sides are at an angle. For a small car, its protection is what you need. Here, if it was also possible to install active protection on the roof, it would be fine. Yes, almost I forgot the bottom of it is also V-shaped. So that underneath it holds explosions on mines. And before you scold at least for help, first make inquiries.

In some century, there were people who created an army jeep more perfect in design than the UAZ, and the people are not happy ... The engine is Polish there, it's a fact. The commercial orientation of "Zashchita" has an effect. Korean box Dymos. But the power units can be changed to domestic ones at any time. The same UAZ is assembled half of Korean parts.

[Ivan_ich]

How do you like such tests ...?

[Ze Kot]

And why is the charge exploding right under the bottom? Is it "the correct form"? It should have been somewhere under the wheel ...

And about the projectile ... Who will undermine the IED in 100 meters? They are buried \ placed near the road. There will not be 100 meters ...

Please note that this is a lightly armored vehicle, not a tank, even a light one! And the protection made is fully justified! This armored car does not have to withstand the direct attacks of a tank gun! Not for that he was made, he has his own niche in military equipment!

[Rostovchanin]

I also immediately drew attention to the distance))))
For such tests, 1 km is the most!

[CRONOS]

Yes Yes Yes! And if you blow up the shell in Chechnya, and put the Scorpio somewhere on Alabino, but in general it will be whole! You can assign the 10500th protection class! =))
But seriously, according to the experience of the Afghan campaign, Chechen and now Syrian, then dushmans bury a couple of these 152mm shells under a wheel or a couple of meters from the road and it already explodes near or under the car and that’s how it is necessary to test an armored car, and not this circus with half Polish Scorpio.

[CRONOS]

I watched the video itself ... damn it, they would have extended the explosion for another hour.

[Ermak]

Yes, I also didn’t like that the shooting did not begin at dawn. )

[RUSIVAN]

Personally, my opinion here the headline was spelled incorrectly, it was rather tested not for survivability in a blast, but for how much a fragment can carry ... and in the future it is possible for blasting in a landmine, it’s just that the author of the heading turned out to be fantasy.

[vodolaz]

For a light armored car, this is a good result.

It’s easier to ban terrorists from placing landmines closer than 100 meters.

But suddenly they will take and obey, well, they will sign such a convention about a kilometer?

[warriordima]

Something painfully thick, they began to promote it, they did not spare money. Probably, the UAZ men do not want to give their niche in the army to the GAZ workers. The current was too late when the "Tigers" were already marching at full speed, but on this "scorpion" there was a lot of foreign everything , this is somehow ridiculous in conditions when the sanctions are not removed, but also strengthened. I put on the tiger, I like it more.))

[Uncle lee]

A cho, a strong shell and Scorpiosi!

[gorgo]

I didn’t understand something - but where is the car? ... I see some kind of explosion, I don’t see the car ...

[RUS96]

Is it not destiny to trim the video? Yes, and the camera is closer.

[Trigger-Happy]

I always thought that 152 mm explodes much more powerful. Yes, and what’s standing on the side can’t really make out. Yes, and the video had to be done for at least 15 minutes!

[13 warrior]

Withstood? Perfectly! But still I would not want to be inside at the time of the explosion. Because shell-shock is not a joke to you.
Interestingly, at what other distances will they experience undermining?

[askof]

gorgo I somehow did not understand - and where is the car?

The video camera is fixed inside the car.

[gorgo]

Ahhh ....))) Thank you!

[aviator1913]

The little scorpion will be stronger than the Tiger. It’s a pity that it’s not domestic

[13 warrior]

I didn’t set you a minus. Nevertheless, learn the mathematical part.)) Scorpio is a domestic development.

[CRONOS]

Scorpio is a little more than completely composed of imported components, the main one is a licensed Polish engine, wheels, seats, and a part of electronics. There to fig imported parts. So partially, but the aviator was right.

[pensioneree]

Well, as it were, in the open spaces of Mother Russia, even karakurt and other tarantulas go. (Insects, did you think?)

It's Rossiyskaya Gazeta! The correspondent, far from the topic, was shown a spectacular show, he concluded that the camera was not damaged. And the fact that the lightly armored vehicle did not receive damage, and therefore the l / s is intact, did not occur to him.

[DMB3000]

where is the car?

[Abbra]

After such a video, the reporter should be sent along with the camera to test a landmine.

[gg.na]

If you put a simple UAZ at the same distance from the detonated 152 mm HEgun ... Then I imagine what will happen to UAZ ..., pancake!!!

[iliitchitch]

The variety of armored vehicles is alarming. There is a "Tiger", there is a KAMAZ - what else do you need? You have to do your own, to the last bolt, just bring to mind. No, we will attach the left one, we will hold a tender for a couple of years. Isn't it time to multiply affiliated structures by zero? Otherwise, we will become the same kazzly as the Americans with their lobbying, it will not take long. So far, rushing is on the old yeast, so you need to cut off all unnecessary things, and a new one has gone, but a correction is needed.

slurred video

Take a trip, teach the fools how to shoot an intelligible "video". And then they try all the videos.

[a-cola]

A video like this will fit any title. For example "Destruction of explosive devices seized from criminals by sappers." Some kind of amateur editing. I would not be surprised at this on any jumping site. But here ... bewilderment.

Or someone is trying hard to squeeze a share of the Tiger and rivets a similar Old. Already passed with Ivek.

[mojohed2012]

You can call: "Undermining of the APU dugout by a projectile of the DPR self-propelled gun" or "The DPRK missile hit the South Korean bridge" ...

[sandrmur76]

The fragments fly a lot, of course. From the right, the pillar shows how the fragments fragments. But it seems to me that if a large piece arrives it will not be buzzing. I saw the fragments from the explosives at the battlefield, so there’s about 1.5-2 kg in weight. car + For the safety of a fighter it is necessary to fight in the rear.

For border guards, it will be the car itself, otherwise they still drive on the Niva.

[Yegorchik]

Five tons on such small wheels and with an automatic gearbox, you won’t even shake the machine in shit, I wouldn’t like to drive off such asphalt.

[tajrov73]

According to the video video, a land mine exploded under an abrom so it flew up into the trash like a fluff, this land mine scarf only has enough gasp under it and that's it, they’re showing some kind of crap.

[bunny]

after watching the video, the only comment in my head turns: HAT ...

[Gunther]

Under-bomb tests
four kilograms of explosives the car was losing the chassis, but the body remained intact.

Something I remembered the old Soviet joke, about galoshes.

[kov123]

Most likely, this is one of the stages of tests at a safe distance from the shell burst 152 (155).

[colonel manuch]

What if you get lucky? After all, the manufacturer does not think about the soldiers, but about his own profit and, to some extent, about the design. Oh, we will have a grief with these "designers" if that.

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

Cars must be made under modern conditions ... And the conditions are such that if there is a danger of sabotage, then they will put a land mine not 2 kg in the form of a TNT bomb and not 100 meters from the road, but put on the side of the road, a pair of two 122 mm shells or one 152 mm shell ... So the machines must be made that can withstand it ... And so this Scorpio, which the simple Urals will smash into pieces ...
