New Indian armored vehicle with turret from BMP-2


For the first time, a model of a promising Indian wheeled BMP was presented at an exhibition in Delhi in 2012. In the autumn of last year, photographs of an already finished machine, called Kestrel, were published.




And at the next exhibition the car was shown to the public with a tower from the BMP-2.



According to the resource, “the combat vehicle weighs 26 tons. 600-strong engine with an automatic transmission allows it to reach speeds of 110 km / h on the highway and more 6 km / h on the water. The capacity of the car is a crew of two and eight paratroopers. ”



According to the information, in the future, the BMP will be equipped with a modern combat module.

The publication also notes that "the armored steel used in the BMP is currently of import origin, but most of the components and assemblies were created in India."

Tests of the machine are scheduled to be completed in 2017 g, after which the designers at its base will create a "whole family of combat and auxiliary machines."

      Look at the side view (left). In my opinion, the tower is installed on an unsuitable case (too large). Therefore, the "dead zone" for turret weapons is too big.

        This is not WOT, for a real armored object a negative angle of the order of a couple of degrees and 50 meters of the dead zone ahead is normal. Much more important than vertical, I would say, it is extremely important that there is at least 55 degrees for light or medium weapons. And with this, everything is in order, there should be about 75 degrees. Remind me what angles and dead zone were BMP-1 and 2 with their 4 and 5 degrees? Here, of course, the height is more by a meter, but this is not particularly critical.
        A normal car, especially if you are in a mountainous area first on the tracks will crack. Compared with the same BMP-2, this is just a limousine.

    Well, this is a prototype, we will see such with various changes more than once, it is too early to draw conclusions. But, apparently, they wanted a "sprout".

    If modern ammunition is put in the ammunition, a 30mm gun is sufficient for separation.
    Yes, there are no new fashion trends, in the form of an out-of-date ammunition, and a bunch of cameras on the roof. But it weighs 26 tons, and at the same time it floats, if you put 57mm or melon, who knows how much the weight will increase. And buoyancy in the jungle is a great thing.
    Yes, and in principle, they did it for themselves, well done, well, the denyuzhka for us falls under the license. And if the TTX BMP suits the Indians, this is generally fine. Our soldiers will definitely not see this bmp on the battlefield.

      Type domestic, aft ramp, more powerful weapons, power and speed, theoretically, the best booking. Add ceramic overhead - it will look quite modern for itself.
      Questions about the suspension, and the fighting compartment - with a tower, there a maximum of 6 people will fit or four comfortably.

      ... than she is better than our BTR-80


      The output for the landing from the stern, the engine, probably in front (which improves protection in the frontal projection), again, the weapons are more powerful (if we are not talking about the BTR-80A).
      People made a car for themselves - they uploaded their production, and we got dripping. Things are good!

    I don’t think it’s normal, the main thing is that the vertical angles would be high. Not from hordes of wild monkeys, fight back on it.

      Vertical angles should be normal. But they are important in the mountains and cities. And in India there are more than just mountains. Lowlands - valleys of large and small rivers with dense vegetation. There, the grenade launcher can go undetected to the dead zone. But the Indians know better where to use this car.
