News of the project AU-220M "Baikal"

In the domestic media there were reports about the prospects of one of the most interesting developments of recent times. One of the options for the future use of the new combat module with an increased power tool was voiced. As stated, one of the future carriers of the AU-220M system could be the infantry fighting vehicle BMP-3.

According to Izvestia, Uralvagonzavod Research and Production Corporation and Burevestnik Scientific Research Institute, which is part of it, have already identified possible ways to use the prospective AU-220М Baikal combat module. Among other armored vehicles, the existing BMP-3 can become the carrier of this system. It is assumed that such a re-equipment will significantly improve its characteristics, as well as give it new combat qualities. According to the authors of the project, at the moment there is not a single infantry fighting vehicle or armored personnel carrier in the world capable of withstanding shelling from the main weapons system "Baikal".

Representatives of development organizations claim that the new AU-220М combat module can be used for various purposes, to attack objects of various types and classes. There is the possibility of attacking and destroying various ground targets that differ in the level of protection, including armored vehicles and fortifications. Also, the new combat module can attack helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicles and other low-altitude low-speed targets. The existing Terminator machines, as well as the prospective Armata, Kurganets-25, Boomerang, ATOM, etc. platforms can be used as a base for the installation of Baikal. It is not excluded the installation of combat modules on boats and ships.

It should be noted that the installation of the combat module AU-220М on the BMP-3 is not news. About similar plans of the domestic industry became known last year. Over the past year, Uralvagonzavod and the Petrel Research Institute, participating in various exhibitions of weapons and military equipment, have repeatedly demonstrated both promotional materials for the Baikal project and natural samples of the new system. At the end of the summer, on the eve of the Russia Arms Expo 2015 exhibition, it became known about the upcoming premiere of new equipment and industry plans to update existing samples.

In this context, there were reports of the project with the symbol "Derivation". Its goal is to upgrade the existing BMP-3 with new weapons. The AU-220М Baikal system is proposed as a new combat module capable of drastically changing the fighting qualities of the vehicle. It is noteworthy that the possibility of installing "Baikal" on the BMP-3 by that time had already received indirect confirmation. Long before the announcement of the existence of the “Derivation” project, a drawing depicting the BMP-3 chassis with the AU-220M system appeared on the official website of the Petrel Research Institute. This picture in its time was the subject of controversy, and the official reports on the "Derivation" put an end to these discussions.

The Baikal project is an attempt to significantly increase the firepower and combat effectiveness of various military equipment (primarily land armored vehicles) by increasing the caliber and other characteristics of the main gun. Currently, the standard for light armored vehicles are automatic cannon caliber 20-30 mm, which affects the level of their protection. To increase the firepower and ensure the defeat of modern equipment of a conditional enemy, the specialists of the Central Research Institute Burevestnik suggested using an 57 caliber gun.

The combat module AU-220М is made in the form of a low-profile tower about 1,3 m high, suitable for installation on various chassis and other equipment. The body of the product is made of aluminum armor capable of withstanding shelling from 30-mm guns in a frontal projection. All-view protection against 7,62-mm ammunition is also provided. The hull provides for systems for the installation of several weapons and the necessary sighting equipment.

The main weapon of the new system is an automatic gun caliber 57 mm. The gun is equipped with a wedge gate and is supplemented with auger ammunition system. A rate of fire up to 120 shots per minute is provided. The gun can use ammunition of various types, depending on the current situation and the type of target selected. The existence of high-explosive, armor-piercing and guided projectiles is known. The maximum firing distance, depending on several parameters, reaches 12 km.

As an additional weapon in the “Baikal” system, an 7,62-mm PKT machine gun coupled to the main gun is used. The machine gun uses tape feed and has 2000 ammunition ammunition. A cannon and a machine gun using common aiming drives can fire in any direction and point in a vertical plane ranging from -5 ° to + 75 °. This ensures the attack of both ground and air targets.

A combat module of a new type carries a set of optical-electronic systems designed to monitor the situation, search for targets, and target weapons. The signal from the sighting equipment is fed to the operator’s console of the module. All mechanisms and weapons are controlled by remote systems.

The combat module AU-220M “Baikal” was first shown at the beginning of last year. After that, it was demonstrated at several exhibitions as a separate exhibit. Salon Russia Arms Expo 2015 has become a platform for the first demonstration of a promising system as a possible weaponry of armored vehicles. The first carrier of "Baikal" was the infantry fighting vehicle BMP-3, modified by the project "Derivation". A prototype of such a machine was presented at one of the exhibition sites.

In the near future, as reported by domestic media, the AU-220M module will be shown along with another carrier. In early June, an exhibition KADEX 2016 should be held in Kazakhstan, during which they will show the Barys wheeled armored vehicle of Kazakh design. The exhibition model is equipped with a Russian-made combat module that received an 57-mm automatic gun.

The construction and demonstration of promising armored vehicles armed with the AU-220М “Baikal” combat module shows the potential of this system, as well as its wide compatibility with the existing and developed chassis. It is expected that in the foreseeable future, the new module will become the standard weapon of some new combat vehicles of domestic production. In addition, the delivery of such systems for export is possible. At the same time, however, the exact plans for the development of armored vehicles using Baikal are not yet known and, perhaps, are not even defined. So, it is known that the Russian Ministry of Defense is showing interest in this product, but the contracts for mass production and supply have not been signed yet. Perhaps such documents will appear later.

[Volga Cossack]

in my opinion a very promising development ....... and the versatility and power of the projectile at altitude. good luck!

[Engineer]

What is it universal? But with Bahcea-U it is universal: 7,62 for close combat with infantry, 30mm universal cannon for suppressing manpower up to 4km, lightly armored vehicles and helicopters of the enemy, 100mm gun with high-explosive shells for suppressing manpower and guided projectiles for armored targets. And that Baikal is 7,62mm and 57mm. You manpower from 57mm guns will be naughty? Not. You can’t shoot at the infantry with land mines. Means to combat lightly armored vehicles and aircraft and no opposition to armored targets. Universal? Not. The petrel flew by with orders in the Middle East, where the gun and the gun were carefully advertising now for our army to the detriment of the versatility of the BMP.

[mirag2]

And I think -57mm is not the ammunition, on the one hand it’s too big, on the other hand it’s too small ...
For the rate of fire, it’s too big, for the defeat of something serious ... well, maybe not too small, but all the same, it limits the rate of fire, that's why he is not very fond of me.

[yehat]

I'm not a fan of 57mm either, but judgments should be "in balance"!
do not judge the projectile only by its caliber!
A 57mm projectile can differ significantly in mass, and the mass of a high-explosive projectile, respectively.
Therefore, I just don’t see a big problem in this, but there is another - too high a projectile speed for a land mine is very inconvenient. This can be offset by new fuses. And there is also buckshot. I think, in general, a gun against infantry is applicable. Although the effectiveness of a 100mm cannon loses.
but there is an interesting potential against lightly armored targets - all helicopters and BMPs of likely friends are not designed for 57mm of joy.
But then again, the problem is different - BPM supports infantry, and does not engage in hunting. Most of these goals will never appear before her.
In general, the 57mm caliber is not for infantry support. And why else do you need to arm the BMP? In my opinion, rare specks of such machines are useful, but is it worth it in terms of logistics - this is the main question!
In my opinion, I would equip each motorized infantry unit with a small number of machines such as a gain reserve.

You see, most of the promising "light" NATO BT (infantry fighting vehicles and partly armored personnel carriers) - are developed taking into account all-round protection against 30-mm armor-piercing and subcaliber projectiles (guess whose production) at distances from 300-500 meters (that's why they "got heavier "(By the way, most of them do not swim! And for the existing ones, a hinged armor is being developed, providing the same x-ki.
And now look at this gun - it will provide penetration at almost all distances of direct visibility !!!

[Forest]

C-60 is weaker than 30-ok, so even Stryker will completely restrain the armor-piercing of this module.

S-60 is weaker than 30-ok?

But what is the use of this muzzle energy if you use an armor-piercing chamber projectile instead of BOPS?

[cast iron]

What are you? And what kind of NATO BMPs and armored personnel carriers have "all-round protection" from 30mm shells? )))) There are BMPs that can withstand three to five hits of 30mm from the front, under certain conditions WITH WORK. The rest of the BMP and armored personnel carriers are sewn right through like cans.

Now take a look at common sense. The trick is that out of the 57 mm autocannon you are unlikely to get anywhere at a distance of over 3,5 km. Stupidly technical accuracy of the trunk is not enough. The same characteristics of 30mm autocannons.

[cosmos111]

40 mm Bofost on BMP CV-90 naughty, with remote detonation.


This is not the point, but the insufficient BM (80 SN). (120 rounds per minute) for one minute of the battle.

[cast iron]

The Soviet Union was quite analogous to 40mm bofors - 37 mm anti-aircraft gun. Why not put it on the BMP?

[vomag]

And what is universal for you? Is when there are 3 barrels in the 1st tower + birds and ags ...? And who will manage all this? ...... Yes, imagine that we’ll be naughty with the manpower of a 57mm gun and the norms are like that comes out ....

I guess the groundwork for the future. While it is visible "by eye". Further, with the help of target designation of specialized means through the ACCS. If the height of the gun will shoot at least 4 km. and a range of 10-12 km. then a motorized rifle company will give such a curtain of fire that more than one helfair will not dare to release. And they won't fly from above on an attack aircraft.
But I repeat, apparently it touched the future.

using target designation of specialized tools through ASUV. If the height of the gun will shoot at least 4 km. and range 10-12km. then a motorized rifle company will give such a fire curtain that more than one helfer will not dare to release. Yes, and on top of the attack aircraft will not fly

And where did I talk about shooting down helpers? Keep the helicopter out of range. It will be brought down by specialized tools. The fire against the attack aircraft is aimed at raising them higher, which means complicating the task, substituting it under more serious systems and increasing the cost of the ammunition used by them.

Yes, it’s simply impossible to overcome such a curtain of fire ... for about 60 seconds, then the BC will end and it will be time to take off your legs.

If the gun is capable of operating anti-aircraft guns, then at least it has, among other things, fragmentation shells with remote detonation (at best - UAs), and this is the best ammunition for hitting infantry behind shelters !!! ...

Imagine! It is 57 mm and it is the infantry!
In the west, for 15 years already, 30-mm shells with remote fuses (GV) and GGE (ready-made striking elements) have been used. They say that they work very well on infantry (including those in the trenches!) And mind you, only 30 mm !! A 57 mm? With the same GGE and DV? It will certainly be more expensive than just an HE shell, but!

[cast iron]

In the West, remote military detonation of 30mm shells has not yet been used in any military company, much less at least 10% of their army has been armed with these shells. For they are experimental and expensive for automatic shooting.

You compare the mass ... immediately everything will fall into place.
Our new technology has UNABILITATED combat modules, and Bahcha is Bahcha

And here is Baikal

In addition - this is why in terms of manpower it is impossible to shoot from the 57-mm quick-shooter?

Will the 2-3 landmine from Bahchi be more effective than the 20-30 HE shells of Baikal?

57-mm caliber breaks through a brick wall - put a shell with a delay in detonation and you get a monster of urban battle. 2A42 does not have such an opportunity ...

Of course, Bakhcha can destroy not too powerful fortifications, and therefore, for example, it will probably be better for the Airborne Forces, but for the BMP or BMPT - only Baikal.

About the battle with tanks from Bahchi they had fun - a lot of you will hit with 100mm mortar - do not tell ...

Will the 2-3 landmine from Bahchi be more effective than the 20-30 HE shells of Baikal?

At one time, the Germans compared the high-explosive action from a stub of a 75mm gun with a PzIV and from a 75 panther gun. Due to the fact that the panther has too high projectile speed, it turned out that the PZ-IV gun is much more effective against targets like machine gun calculation / mortar or a small gun
so. YES, with a skilled artilleryman, 2-3 Bakhchi landmines are more effective.
but the fact is that skillful no more than 20%. Most gunners cannot shoot at distances greater than a couple of kilometers. Although there are enough training standards for this, such recruits come. Sorry, but even a dog can learn part of the multiplication table in half a year, but recruits can’t.
From this point of view, a 57mm gun with new fuses is better. It’s easier to aim with it.

I did not catch the connection between the initial velocity of the projectile and its high-explosive / fragmentation effect - explain.

Quote: yehat

YES, with the skilled artilleryman 2-3, the Bahcea mine is more effective.

2-3 HE explosive on a HE action - YES, on a shrapnel - NO!

+ I repeat - the 57mm caliber allows you to break through an 2,5-3 brick with a projectile with an ELECTRON fuse, that is, a SHARDBAR projectile will burst INSIDE the building, breaking through the wall behind which the adversary is seated.
A 30mm 2A42 cannot penetrate such a wall and an electronic fuse in a 30MM bullet cannot be pushed in. You will not be on every machine gun in the window, or even on every window in which a machine gun may presumably shoot a 100mm fool, and the task of "probing windows and doors" is very important, especially in urban combat, and Baikal seems to be created for this.

[yehat]

Can you imagine what 2-3 lines of 57mm guns are? How much does it weigh?
you will run out of ammunition! And 2-3 Bahchi shells are much lighter and by the way, many times cheaper.

[cast iron]

Yes, you can shoot at the entrenched infantry with anything, but back in 1941, our great-grandfathers realized that even a 76mm gun was not enough. That is why the caliber of tank guns is higher than 100mm. That is why the 100mm cannon of the "Bakhcha-U" module is capable of destroying an apartment or a bunker with one shot, while a 57mm cannon cannot do this even with 5 shots.

[Denimax]

Another "news in 57 mm". A lot of chatter, but you need a ready-made sample in the test on video, and not pictures of models. Then you can clearly see and discuss all the prospects.

=================
Dear Engineer!
Let me disagree with you (as the classic said - “categorically !!”
Without at all diminishing the OUTSTANDING (this is not irony!) Dignity of “Bahchi” and its predecessor “Trojchatka” (it was necessary to contrive and implant such powerful and universal weapons on the BMP and BMD ... Indeed, this is GENIUS! But, as they say, there is always their "BUT" ...
===
1) Promising infantry fighting vehicles and some NATO armored personnel carriers are created taking into account CIRCULAR (well, or at least partial) protection against 30-mm shells from 2A42 and 2A72 cannons (of course, Bushmasters should be protected by them) at distances of 300-500 m and even closer !. And this means that the day is not far off when on the battlefield armored vehicles against which traditional 30-mm guns will be, frankly, not very effective! Do you want to object that there is a 100-mm 2A70 for this? I have, but!! Ammunition - only 34 shells (of which - ONLY 4 - guided!). Not good, right?
And now, compare Baikal has an ammunition load of 200 (!) Shells at the same time, armor-piercing (not to mention sub-caliber) shells in a state to hit ANY existing and PROMISING BM, at distances of several kilometers! The maximum firing range is 12 km (for 2A70 - 4-6.5 km). The initial velocity of the 57-mm projectile is -1 m / s (000A2 - 70-250 m / s). Impressive?
===
2) Now about armor penetration. 2A70 is a gorgeous thing, of course - light and powerful, able to cope with tanks like M-48, M-60, T-54/55, etc. without any problems. BUT! (again it's a damn "BUT"!) - against modern MBTs ("Abrams", "Leopard", "Leclerc") - frankly, "not very" ... The fact is that the maximum penetration ability of 9M117 guided projectiles of all modifications does not exceed 750 mm (without dynamic protection!). Not enough! Sub-caliber and armor-piercing shells are not provided - the muzzle velocity is too low! Say "Baikal" and it can't? Agree! Can not. In general, it’s better to fight modern tanks with ATGMs (that Kornet has 1 mm (for dynamic protection!). Now, if you manage to get the Kornet into the Baikal, then wow, it will be super !!!!
=====
3) The question "about the infantry" ... Sir, you are talking strangely! That is, to smack openly located infantry from helicopters and attack aircraft with 57-mm S-5 NARs with a warhead weighing 815 grams is EFFECTIVE (recognized by the way !!), and shooting at the same infantry with 57-mm HE shells (the weight of the striking part is 2.8 kg (!)) - does this mean INEFFICIENT ?? Or do you think that an HE shell is more expensive than the same S-5 missile ?? Please don't laugh! Much cheaper!
So, excuse me, I’m asked. You got a little excited here!

PS In general, I do not perceive Baikal as a direct competitor to the Bakhche / Troichatka. Rather, it is a quite reasonable ADDITION that can significantly increase the firepower of motorized infantry!

[Forest]

C-60 has no sub-calibers, only armor-piercing ones with penetration of 105 mm under 90 degrees. at 1 km, while the 25-mm Bushmeister punches with its BOPS 120 mm under the same conditions.

[tupolev-95]

I think if you give the infantry fragmentation 57-mm. with remote detonation, then only the spray will fly.

[cast iron]

I think that if the infantry digs in according to the rules and prepares the settlement for defense by engineering methods, then with a 57mm bullet you can only let a salute fire - here, too, a 125mm OFS can hardly cope.

[goose]

Most importantly, new ammunition with remote detonation (shrapnel, landmine), and preferably moderate ballistics, which most likely implies an increased projectile weight.
Only such an approach can make this universal instrument a universal weapon. With existing shells, so far Bahcha is better, because against field fortifications and tank-dangerous targets it is better.
The only role in which resuscitation of the S-60 is better is to shoot at helicopters, but for it you need a good SLA and detection equipment to open the gun.

[Forest]

Yes, the problem is that the shells will be the same. New is not provided.

[yehat]

and what parameters of the LMS should be?
Firstly, I think we need increased rangefinder efficiency. Laser, as on the BMP-3 is not suitable. 7 meter horns on the towers that stood on the battleships are also not good. Secondly, I don’t understand how with BMP 3, and even on the go to search for ground targets at a distance of at least 10 km. Otherwise, the instrument cannot be opened.
The only real alternative that comes to mind is the use of reconnaissance drones and the development of systems of a single information space on the battlefield.
Which ultimately leads to the idea that the development of the LMS does not solve the problem from the word at all.
The only thing that the LMS can change is the reaction time to the appearance of the target.

[cast iron]

Well, what kind of resuscitation are we talking about? What kind of helicopters? Well, what helicopter were you planning to hit at a distance of 8-10 km from an autocannon? What will be the consumption of shells? Well, isn’t it funny?

[Bloodsucker]

Quote: cast iron

Kamrad, well, what kind of resuscitation is it

Do you say no resuscitation? Yes, there is also what.

And not in one copy.

So by helicopter, 57 mm will be just right.

[cast iron]

Yah. Syria, coughing up blood from the Civil War, is forced to get all the junk out of the warehouses and repair because newer weapons have simply been destroyed during the war years.

They simply do not have modern MANPADS and SAM systems. These are the reasons for all these "resuscitation" of corpses.

[Just seraph]

About the BMP-3 with 57 mm. I automatically hope for 2 things:
1. think of putting ATGMs
2. the ammunition will NOT be 80 shells (as stated).
And of course the machine fire)

The ammunition load obviously depends on how many shells can be loaded into the CAM module, possibly even into the auger itself. If there were projectiles from the BMP itself, the ammunition would be more.

with a rate of fire of 120 per minute, shells will create vibration and weakened zones of tension in the armor. The thickness of the side armor on the T72 varies from 70 to 80 mm, plus 10 can be thrown due to the screens and mounted DZ. a total of 80mm partially weakened by vibration and jagged hits of steel plate.
for a 57mm cannon with good energy, this is quite a breakable goal.

It seems to me this or that. Such a caliber is prohibitive against infantry or lightly armored targets, while at the same time its power is insufficient against the obt. As an option of light self-propelled guns, we have an octopus, although its quantity is small. From the foreign as a kind of analogy, only the Italian otomatik comes to mind, but there is 76mm and a radar, which makes it a good zk, the radius of destruction is good.

[the47th]

The advantage of "Baikal" is its range, the 2A70 has a maximum range of 6500m, and the AU-220 - 12 km. In addition, it turned out that the ZSU-57-2 can drive terrorists across the desert quite well.

[Nix1986]

This gun is not a howitzer, but shoots along a flat trajectory, which is limited by the MSA, and not by the range of the shot. If my memory serves me, then the aiming range record belongs to the challenger in an Iraqi company, and that was something like 4km with a penny. And again, we have a sau octopus with a 125mm obt.

Shooting from a 100-mm Bahchi caliber for 4 km is a regular exercise, despite transonic ballistics. I don’t think that you need a complicated SLA to get a 10-second burst at such a distance with the ballistic of AU-220.
Another thing is, if you need from the first or second shot, then you will have to drive, optics and LMS significantly modify.
But most importantly - I have not seen new shells anywhere. As long as there is a remote fuse and that's it. We need something simpler for the army, at least as the Swedes, in terms of speed, with automatic programming.
The laser rangefinder should be measured at a greater distance, you need another rangefinder, for shooting at helicopters, like a radio sight of fighters, so that it can detect in a narrow sector at a distance of actual shooting up to 10 km. You can take the finished base with Chrysanthemum. In this case, the radio fuses will do. BUT then the selection of shells suggests itself, so that the type can be selected. How to do it?

[Nix1986]

That's the goal that hit from the first shot. The Challenger managed to load a blank for 4 km to a point, because he has the only modern rifle rifle gun, in addition to the actual SLM (let the more competent colleagues correct it, but on all other modern rifles either the German smooth-bore rheinmettal, or like our smooth-bore gun launcher )

And where do you get it from 57mm for 10-12 km? You are strange people. Look at the firing of 125mm tank guns. They barely fall into a distance of 3-4 km, and you believe in fairy tales about aimed shooting at 12 km)))) Holy simplicity.

You know, for the infantry and 30 mm, an extraordinary caliber. Yes there 30mm-14.5 (KPVT) and then the rail already !!!! I am in my shoes, I personally experienced an unforgettable feeling when they hammer at you from 14.5 anti-aircraft guns !!! Barbarians !!! At what, okay, to destroy the shelter and chop up with fragments or fill up with debris, so no, there was no shelter! It flew from the bottom upwards, approximately by eye, 10 cm above me. After each turn, I asked the soldier to see if everything was intact on my back and if I had a back at all.
But to break down a brick wall and 30 mm is not always enough, or rather, always not enough, that’s why we need such a caliber, get it behind cover, and save ATGMs and RPGs, specifically for heavy equipment. And imagine a volley of 57 mm HE in the mountains in stones, a miracle !!! There it will splash so much that it will not be necessary to spend ATGMs (as in Vidio in Syria, when ATGMs are bashing over the accumulation of basmachi).
According to LBT (armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles), 57 mm should be planted in the frontal projection, I think 100% of the wounded equipment will not be sewn all together with the engine and all bulkheads, everything will be cut with fragments inside and everyone’s fairy tale!

It seems to me that such ballistics was chosen in order to reduce the time of impact on the helicopter / calculation of anti-tank systems.
Flatness - easier to aim - you can "cross"
The speed of the projectile is about 1000 m / s, quickly reaches a distance of 2 km or more. If you shoot from Bahchi, then the 100 mm OFS will fly 3-4 times longer. During this time, the calculation of the ATGM will have time to shoot and dump the rocket, or it may not fall, but it will have time to direct the rocket. And then they will not have time for guidance. The real situation - you are traveling the field calmly - at a distance of 2,5 km, a flash from the launch of a rocket engine. Your actions? On the standard BMP-3 only hide. And here you can actively prevent time.
Range - the actual range of fire from 2A42 helicopters from a force of 3 km, rather 2 km. Here it’s already possible to shoot at a range of about 4 km (but you need a normal LMS and a detection system), the main thing is to notice the helicopter at this distance in time. Many ATGMs have a range of 2 km, according to them a 30 mm ue gun is ineffective, and a 100 mm is not too accurate to hit quickly (Yes, and not so much shells).
The ability to hit light and medium BT without using missiles. “What our budget army needs.” Many missiles never happen.
Well, the tanks. Most modern MBTs have a side and stern reservation of not more than 60-100 mm from kinetic ammunition, which gives a good chance of defeat from a decent distance of more than 1 km. At the same time, they learned to deal with cumulative ammunition, and even take it on board does not always work.

PS For lovers of whining that 80 shells are few. Have you seen the shells from the S-60? - they are very overall, not less than 100 mm from 2A72. 80 shells is really a lot, especially when you consider that 3-4 shells are spent on one target to guarantee. And there is a real opportunity with such ballistics to be solitary in 1-2 shots.

how will he get down? do not have time to run out even for the radius of guaranteed stuffing
the delay is rather different - in the accuracy of aiming. At 100mm, this is not crosshair pointing. My brother served on just such a machine. He says that such people come to the motorized infantry, as if they are specifically looking for the dumbest. He was appointed just responsible for additional training in guidance skills. Many people don't know how to count without a calculator. Therefore, when aiming a gun, where it is necessary to calculate the parameters of ballistics, they constantly mow. All this will lead to the fact that they are guaranteed to give time for the calculation of the anti-tank equipment not only to shoot, but also to the wreck, slowly leaving.

How were you going to fight with a well-entrenched opponent with a 57mm stick? In WWII, everyone understood everything about calibers - even 76mm was not enough.

[Shelest2000]

It is not clear why the old version of the BMP armament with 100 and 30mm twin cannons is bad. What is the qimus of replacing weapons with a weaker version? After all, for a hundredth and a bird, is there a barrel for shooting?

[Vitale]

It is not bad, it’s just that Baikal’s range of destruction of targets is several times higher and it can work on air targets, in addition, by its power, 57-caliber projectiles can also effectively hit enemy’s MBT like 100 mm only from a greater distance.

[Forest]

The destruction range is unlikely to be more than 4 km. Continue to shoot - wasting BC in vain. And the 100-mmka is many times more powerful and has TOURS that will give other MBT heat.

[Vitale]

Well, this is just your speculation, I watched a video about a 30 mm BTR-80 cannon, and so a line of 7 30 mm shells splits the frontal armor of tanks like T-55 and T-65 and here 57 mm

[Forest]

Thai metal is already old, and the armor itself is outdated. Yes, and, most likely, a simple advertising and progandist move - either the armor was already split, or weakened in advance. So our 30-mm shells are inferior to the KPVT bullets at some distances. But the C-60 shells are even more primitive than the 2A42 and 2A70 - still they were produced in WWII.

[Vitale]

Again your speculation, I believe that the designers who created the Baikal module know a little more than yours without any speculation.

[Forest]

They were told - they did. The designer does not flounder from the bay, but on orders from above. Look at the penetration of the ZiS-2 and compare it with the MK30 from Puma. And the S-60 is weaker than the ZiS-3. When 25-mm cannons pierce more "promising" guns of the 1950 model, it is pathetic.

Yes, it splits with a large number of hits, but at a short distance. At a distance of about 1 km, not so much impact also occurs - like peas against a wall. Shells quickly lose energy.

This is YOUR speculation, because even a hefty 125mm cannon cannon effectively shoots no more than 4 km. And here is a 57mm bundle, which, according to your fantasies, will not yield to it exactly and surpasses it. These are all your fantasies. As well as fantasies about the fact that a 30mm bullet of an armored personnel carrier pierces 120mm frontal homogeneous T-55 armor.

[Vitale]

An ATGM is an expensive toy, unlike 57 mm shells, a machine with a Baikal module will be indispensable for organizing ambushes, thanks to its rate of fire and range, this gun can build up a bunch of equipment and manpower from an ambush, while being out of reach for enemy return fire.

Modern ATGMs in the caliber of 100 mm are not enough to break ALL modern MBT into the forehead. Need a caliber 132-152 mm to create a cumulative charge of sufficient power. Then it is possible to form the focus of the cumulative jet under 2,5 meters, which is enough for any dynamic protection.

[cast iron]

At the same time, for some reason they forget that a 57mm fart at all will not cause special damage to a tank at a distance of firing a missile from 100m Bahchi-U)))))

[Zaurbek]

The issue has been discussed more than once, there are many advantages in one version and in another. The only point that is difficult to dispute is that 57mm is not enough for hitting a target like Tank, and 100mm PTRS can help. Those. for the full destruction of tanks in the composition of the machine with 57mm module will have to introduce ATGM on the tower. On the other hand, the power of a 100mm PTRS is no longer enough to destroy modern tanks

[Kudrevkn]

12 km - Yes! This is already akin to ship systems! Well done designers-gunsmiths! Keep it up!

[yehat]

if they had made a three-ruler 2 times more in 1895, she would have already shot 12 km
so it’s not so much progress.
But the fact that with such a projectile energy a cannon can fire 120 rounds per minute is already something.

Ship systems are equipped with powerful SLAs and radars, which allow relatively accurately hit the target at such distances. In the BMP, no such radar will fit.

30 mm and 100 mm with the available characteristics can not effectively deal with anti-tank crews hiding in a trench or other shelter on a flat terrain, provided that the combat vehicle to defeat the crew should not enter the ATGM destruction zone. 30 mm for these purposes is not suitable, it will not allow the queue to effectively hit the calculation, because at a distance of about 3 km it will have a wide spread, as a result the enemy will hide in a trench, after which he will be able to continue firing from anti-tank missiles. 100 mm shells with an existing gun, at a distance of over 3 km, it is unlikely to be able to get into the trench located on a flat terrain, because of which the calculation will also not be affected. I do not know information about remote detonation devices for 100 mm shells. 30 mm projectiles in size do not allow the installation of a remote fuse, while maintaining a sufficient area of ​​destruction of such a projectile.
In the case of a 57 mm gun with a rate of 120 rounds per minute and remote detonation of a projectile at a given distance, it will be able to turn the shelled infantry in the trench into forcemeat at a firing distance, I think this is the main idea.

To do this, you first need to notice at least a trench at a distance of 3 km, not to mention the calculation.
The fact is that the ATGM calculations, as a rule, behave extremely unconstructively, do not use the indicators adopted by gamers and neon lighting, and sometimes even use some kind of disguise.
Not only that, they also change position after a shot ... bastards ...

I will tell you in great confidence that even during firing from a trench, nothing but a launcher sticks out, even the operator’s head. The calculation for some reason does not come out in full force. They’re not fighting according to the rules. They are probably just despicable cowards and do not want to die ...

In order to notice there is intelligence, and if the ATGM opened fire and was noticed, according to your logic, you need to let them calmly pack up and change their position.
There are also devices that allow detecting enemy optical devices at the indicated ranges, which are also available for ATGMs.
And I’ll tell you a secret that during the conduct of hostilities everyone behaves differently and far from being taught, they can also protrude from the trench.

Listen, bish, in the place of a company commander in an infantry fighting vehicle, I would have acted differently:
I definitely will not be after detecting the launch of ATGMs
1. stop BM (any of the companies) - because on the go to engage in this debauchery is simply unrealistic.
2. look for the firing position, measure the range to it and choose the operating mode of the gun.
3. and for all this trash I have no more than 30 seconds - after that, there will be no one else at the OP ATGM.

Moreover, the ATGMs are not used alone, but there will be 4-5 launches, no less. Except, perhaps, partisans.

I will order the smokes (there is a cloud system on the BMP for this) and under the smoke I will try to jerk the company out of the affected area.
And according to the positions of the ATGM, the battalion commander will set me up after my report on the mortar.

[bish]

Why do you need an IFV at all, have more smoke bombs and a taxi for your personnel, and the battalion commander will solve all problems.
But seriously, a lot depends on the situation, the ability to hit infantry in a trench with an explosion from above (BMP fire) will help a lot to accomplish a number of tasks, and if a projectile with sufficient explosive power is generally good. For example, in some mountain gorges that have roads for artillery to move equipment, the discovered position may not be possible to cover.
About 4-5 launches something I doubt very much where you heard about this. ATGMs are basically weapons of defense, if we are not talking about partisans, then the offensive will be carried out on an enemy who has several times less forces, moreover, after artillery preparation. I don’t think that 5 ATGM will be assembled for one BMP, even if they shoot at the first BMP that appears.

Yes you! Well, if the company will attack the platoon on BMP-2 on the defensive, then there is 3 anti-tank missile system 9m113 with a range of destruction of up to 4000 m. Transportable ammunition - on 4 missiles on BM. Rocket speed - 200 m \ s.
And you can use it separately - it is removed from the car if necessary. In defense, most likely it will be so.

Well, already 3 PU in the company, and not 4-5 on one BMP as it was at the beginning.
Of course, you’re right in something, but I repeat, there are different situations.
For example, at the entrance to Tskhinval, one of the first armored personnel carriers of the regiment entered the city and immediately received a shot from an RPG, which is why it was disabled. Then the commander moved to another armored personnel carrier and continued to conduct the offensive.
Because of this, no one stopped the offensive and Tskhinval did not level the earth with artillery, they all decided on their own and by means.
If an infantry fighting vehicle can independently destroy an ATGM calculation on its own without entering its fire zone, this is a big plus.

The BMP will not be able to destroy the ATGM calculation without entering its fire zone because:
1. the available BMP surveillance tools do not allow detecting the ATGM calculation at their firing range (3500-4000m) before launch.
2. the available BMP surveillance tools do not allow the use of weapons for calculating ATGMs at their firing range (3500-4000m) after starting an ATGM during the flight (20 seconds)
3. very often PU anti-tank missiles are not detected even after launch.
So the point is not at all about the capabilities of weapons.
By the way, at ranges 3500-4000 m. If the ATGM calculation is detected, it can also be fired from 30 mm. With a rather high probability of defeat. The main thing is to discover.

By the way, there is already a project in the Nudelman Design Bureau for UAS in this caliber just for the S-60.

The USSR had an analogue in the Second World War - 37mm guns with different shells. Finish them not fate? And who said the beaufors programmable shell is good? In the advertisement showed what? )))

[Forest]

Bofors is more promising due to the caliber and simpler than MK30 or Bushmeister 3, which are unlikely to be mastered in large quantities in our country. In general, I will support you that a tool like Nona looks best.

[cast iron]

As a variant of the Bakhcha-U modernization, it is quite possible to install a 37mm cannon - such barrels were made in the Second World War. Plus, either modify the shells for a 100mm cannon, or put something like a 120mm NON gun with advanced functions and ammunition.

[yehat]

1. Where do we have such ideal conditions with plains and without trees? Are you going to fight in the tundra? or in Mongolia? Basically, we are talking about a European theater of action, and there is not often a line of sight higher than even 3 km.
2. How do you yourself see / find such a calculation from 5-10 km? Moreover, far from everywhere there is a bare desert and there is always where to take refuge. And if not, there is a mask network, etc.
It is ridiculous to think that the BMP, which is much more noticeable than the calculation of TVET, and even unmasks itself with movement, will notice the calculation earlier.
3. What makes you think that a 100mm cannon cannot send a projectile at the right distance?
My brother served just on BMP-3 with this weapon. says range was enough
as for accuracy, any target was struck by a hit within a radius of 30 meters.
such a projectile ...

Many students at the forum do not understand that even a 28-fold magnifying tube of theodolite is almost invisible to a person at a distance of 2-2.5 km against the backdrop of the landscape. And then the student was going to reveal the disguised calculation of ATGM for 5-10km. Laughter and more. And after all, they set up cons, while realizing that they do not understand much)))

Those. A 57mm fart with no explosive effect can fight against fortified infantry, but a 100mm OFS - not? Did you go through logic at school? )))

About the ATGM engagement zone. My dear, even a tank with a 125mm gun cannot help but enter the target area of ​​a guided missile. And you tell tales about the "long-range" 57mm fart))))

Very strange))) An 88mm mortar from the Second World War puts mines quite heaped at 5km, and then a BMP-3 with a modern SLA and can’t get a heap of its 100mm OFS on a trench? Oh well. Storyteller.

In the trench, he can and will be able to turn anyone into mincemeat, but in the bunker, go bunker, she will not turn anyone into mincemeat))))

[DimerVladimer]

Argument from the past
Why Grabinsky ZiS-2 (57 mm with an initial velocity of the projectile 1100 m / s) was removed from service? - excess power to start a war - tanks of the T-III type pierced right through, and DIGGER action 57 mm the shell was recognized INSUFFICIENT for hitting infantry. The high-explosive action of the 57 mm projectile was inferior to the 76 mm projectile F-22, ZiS-3.
Only with the advent of the tigers Pz-VI and Panther Pz-V, the Grabin ZiS-2 was returned to production.

By the way, for reference - the German infantry called the Grabin divisional gun ZiS-3 - "Tum Tum". Due to the high initial velocity of the projectile, the sound of the shot and the rupture occurred almost simultaneously - the infantry did not have time to lie down and suffered heavy losses (it is repeatedly found in memoirs, especially on the Kursk Bulge).

[castle]

I did not understand your thought. The projectile flies faster than the speed of sound. First, the shell explodes, and then the sound of a shot is heard. Although, under mortar shelling, at certain distances, you can first hear the sound of a shot, and then the mines fly up.
He did not want to interfere in the discus, but could not resist.
If the 57 mm will have the possibility of programmable detonation (I did not find traces of the "programmer" on the gun, maybe I overlooked that), the price of such a gun will not be in the fight against infantry both in the open area and in urban combat! If you charge from two "drums", then you can work against strong armor. But it will be necessary instead of a taxi for the infantry to make a light tank from an infantry fighting vehicle. The infantry will be of great help.

Quote: DimerVladimer

The DIGGER action of a 57 mm projectile was deemed INSUFFICIENT to destroy infantry. The high-explosive action of the 57 mm projectile was inferior to the 76 mm projectile F-22, ZiS-3.

You will take a closer look at the question of why the high-explosive fragmentation shell from the 75-mm Panther gun was worse in effectiveness against infantry than the OFS shell of the 45-mm gun, then write. No one is going to shoot thick-walled blanks from this gun. Moreover, if you use an extra-heavy OFS projectile with a contact fuse with standard shelling, then the ballistics will become moderate, which will allow you to push even more explosives into such a projectile and get a good ellipse of fragments in a collision with the ground. And if remote detonation is used, then generally good.

[Rorabek]

I read that in the 41st 57 mm the gun didn’t go in series for technical reasons, which was corrected after the new Lend-Lease machines were removed (improving the quality of processing) in 1943 and the production of the above type of weapons was resumed ... but the best divisional gun remained 76 mm ZIS-3, even the Angles bought a license, and this type of weaponry was even delivered to the mujahideen during the operations of the USSR troops in Afghanistan, possibly from storage depots

although 57 mm was always anti-tank, by the way ... and in 41 years, a 57 mm mm PT gun was not needed, and in 1943 with the advent of the Tigers and Panthers, the production of these guns became relevant, but most plants produced ZIS-3, and the reconfiguration of defense plants in war we tried to do in exceptional cases

It is corny that there was not enough ammunition, and even more so the armor-piercing one, which, according to the aforementioned anecdote, “pierced through the tanks per kilometer,” in general, there was a problem with armor-piercing shells at the beginning of the war. the barrel is 72 calibers shorter, to facilitate the manufacturing technology. For the T-10 tank destroyers with 34mm, I don’t say so. So in the end, the 57mm epic in the troops was finished at the beginning of 57 on the experimental model B-1950. Well, in the end, they stayed, , stupid scoops "with 22 mm PTO and .... 85mm, with which the Rapier caliber" is used to this day by the legacy of the USSR, not knowing to this day the happiness of acquiring this new manir and omnipotent mondul .... true with a creak of teeth, the pushers of this divays wondrous already say - to mock up de ATURS need Somehow they themselves do not believe in computer shooters where

for which the Germans punished them, not in the year 43 near Kursk, but in the 41st, because the 45mm cannon didn’t penetrate very well into the forehead pzIII

[2nd 12th]

It looks like the BMP is trying to turn into a tank. Could have - put a 125mm machine gun and it would be happiness! It is very likely that our military has a "crisis of the genre" with the concepts of using military equipment. (What targets will hit, and in what quantities is this "what" needed)
I would leave 30mm on the BMP and develop external target designation. Imagine, any infantryman who is nearby will be able to transmit the targets they see to the combat module operator. All the "trifles" in the form of grenade launchers, machine gunners, snipers, anti-tank systems, simply accumulations of manpower will be "swept away" instantly to a distance of 2 km.

[bish]

At these 2 km you still need to approach, 30 mm will not be able to hit the targets you named if they simply hide behind the terrain, and get a long battle, rather than instant removal of the enemy.
And with regard to external target designation, we are already working on this.

[Forest]

Above 2 km, you rarely meet the battle distance, this is not Kazakh steppes and spherical tanks in a vacuum. If you meet a target at a great distance - it is easier to shoot ATGM.

in fact, it’s a shame for a country that collects prizes from a bunch of programming and mathematics olympiads that the army still does not have a sane unified target designation system.

We have the most talented and cheap programmers, is it really that expensive to do this?

ps I have seen many in action. Yes, they solve a number of narrow tasks, and even well, but at the army level, all this does not mean much.

For proper target designation, you need to know at least math, geodesy, physics, and cartography. Programmers do not need this))))

This is an extreme, but a 125mm low ballistic gun and a 37mm machine gun would be just right.

Small guns require dozens and hundreds of shots where a large gun costs one or two shots.

You read my mind directly. Why are the famous Soviet 37 mm quick-firing guns not even considered a replacement for 30mm autocannons? And in Bahce-U it’s time to mount instead of 100mm something like a universal NON launcher with a caliber of 120mm.

[Zaurbek]

This is an extreme, but a 125mm low ballistic gun and a 37mm machine gun would be just right.

37mm machine - it is very, very different. For comparison - British 40mm pom-pom
and, for example, a 37mm automatic machine of the Red Army. Completely different devices in terms of performance
and which one do you mean?

[yehat]

Yes?
Well then tell me how to make a stable target designation per person at a distance of 2 km?
infrared? Not okay. radar? does not see the optics? and if he lies down or hides behind a tree?
Footman backlight? I think half of these idiots just will not live up to the right time.
Now imagine that target designation comes dynamically and you need to accompany, say, 10-15 goals at the same time?
so how do you do that? I see no way without a network of flying drones to make high-quality target designation over the battlefield. But this is still half the trouble. The main thing is the software for this, because contractors are cunning people and take on what is simpler than what is needed.
These are Americans, they were ready to put AEGIS on the road for 15 years, and they put it and brought it to mind, and we have effective managers. For each segment of the troops, control programs were written on the knee, and how to combine them, nobody cares. And it’s not worth talking about a single target designation base on the battlefield.
By the way, we must pay tribute to the development of projects such as WOT - there are conducted active tests of different options for displaying interactive information on the map of the battlefield. People draw hundreds of mods for outputting target designation information in real time with varying degrees of detail and scaling. And there are ready-made solutions. Just use it.

The system works in the interests of separation, platoon. Why the heck do you load it with functions that are not inherent in a tactical formation.

That's just 57 mm and more universal for most tasks of an infantry platoon, squad. Have a portable ATGM (you can control it from an infantry fighting vehicle, or takeaway. Takeaway launcher or a guide on the tower. What prevents this (and an ATGM caliber can be more, and more efficient).

It's one thing when you ALREADY have as many as 3 vehicles in the platoon, armed with 100mm OFSs and their delivery vehicles.

By the way, it would be nice to unify Pu Ptur with Pu Pzrk.
As a result, it is possible to assemble the body kit of the car, and at the same time, if there is a desire to launch an assault squad or air defense squad.

[ILDM1986]

First of all, you need to think about what we want to get at its core - an ATGM capable of at least work on air targets, or a MANPADS (namely MANPADS, because a full-fledged air defense system based on an armored personnel carrier / infantry fighting vehicle cannot be placed only if the armored personnel carrier ceases to perform its main functions) , which can hit tanks if necessary. IMHO, the first option is still preferable, since there are already effective military air defense and missile defense systems such as "shell", "tunguska", "beech", "wasps", etc. capable of operating at ranges of tens and hundreds of kilometers, but an armored personnel carrier / infantry fighting vehicle may not have full protection against tanks at the right time, and instead of a cumulative warhead, you can successfully place a thermobarric, high-explosive fragmentation or provide a remote detonation system with ready-made striking elements.
In my opinion, the ATGM and MANPADS missiles have a discrepancy, first of all, in terms of size (for an ATGM, a rocket of a large cross-section is desirable, since the armor-piercing of the cumulative jet increases, and for MANPADS, the rocket should be as thin and elongated as possible - in order to reduce the drag and increase thus the range / height of hitting the target, the speed for hitting "in pursuit") and by the OMS, more precisely, by the guidance and / or control channels. For MANPADS, preferable IR homing heads (there are such on our "Needles", "Arrows" and "Verbakh"), since the targets air targets are not only high-contrast, but also high-speed and can easily disappear from the field of view, but for ATGM we have there are no such (yet?) (but our sworn friends have - ATGM like Javelin, Spyke, Type 96 MPMS, etc.). Guidance of our ATGM "Kornet" (the most likely candidate for installation in a twin with a 57mm gun) is carried out via a thermal imaging channel, control - by a laser beam, and in the ATGM "Hermes" laser beam illumination and inertial guidance are used, but these methods are almost never used in MANPADS (the exception is laser beam illumination in the British "Starstreak"). It would be possible to direct by radio, but you cannot put a normal full-size radar on the military equipment of the front echelon, the dimensions are too large, and it is expensive for a mass complex that will most likely be installed on a large number of equipment - armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, BMPT and TBMP. Control over the radio channel is problematic in the modern world saturated with electronic warfare systems, although in this case it would be possible to launch a missile from closed positions and carry out remote guidance to a target through any channels available to third-party gunners. Among other things, the question of speed is relevant, for the Kornet ATGM system 300 m / s is enough, but for a man-portable missile system it is clearly not enough - the Strela speed is 400-430 m / s, the Igla speed is 600 m / s, which means it is necessary to reduce the reaction time when management, complication and rise in the cost of installation. The use of combined guidance and control channels will also cause an increase in the cost and complexity of the installation, and an increase in size.
That is, in principle, it is possible to "teach" ATGMs to aim at low-flying, low-speed, high-contrast targets, but this will be a niche road, an inferior air defense system difficult to use, only for fighting helicopters and reconnaissance drones, not applicable against normal ground attack aircraft. In my opinion, the military is unlikely to want to invest in the development of such a deliberately hopeless project.

Yes, everyone missed that the BMP M2 of the latest modifications has its forehead protected from armor-piercing shells 2A72 at distances from 100 m. This is where the AU-220M comes in handy.

[Forest]

Bradley's forehead is protected from 30-mm shells in general, including the German MK30 and Bushmeister 2, which are much more powerful than the 57-mmki.

[yehat]

I did not understand, more powerful which 57mm?
if you are talking about the one that is discussed here in the subject, then you are very wrong.
I will only give an example.
30mm and 57mm differ in diameter by almost half.
cross section: proportional to the square of the radius
(57/2)*(57/2)-15*15= почти 4 раза
in mass, the difference is even greater, because often a large caliber is even longer
projectile energy increase is proportional to the mass and squared velocity
for a 30mm projectile to be at least EQUAL 57mm in terms of the power of the armor deformation energy, it should be 4-5 times faster. And the laws of aerodynamics are such that the difference between them is no more than 10-15% in speed.
now you understand what nonsense are about the fact that the Bushmaster is 30mm cooler than the 57mm?

[Forest]

More powerful C-60, which stands on this module. Penetration is not only dependent on energy. Tank BOPS weighs 4-8 kg and a diameter of about 30 mm, while its power is several times higher than the most powerful 128-mm anti-tank gun with a caliber projectile weighing under 30 kg. Penetration also depends on the quality of the armor-piercing core, and it is ridiculous to compare the all-steel blank of the 30's with BOPS from depleted uranium.

[yehat]

I don’t put a minus, I think the question is in the unsuccessful use of terminology. You called armor penetration power?

[Forest]

Yes, more powerful in terms of armor penetration. If we talk about energy - this is already muzzle energy, there is something else.

[ILDM1986]

Regarding muzzle energy in theory, of course, everything is correct, but the question is in its effective implementation. 30 mm shells have BOPS which, with a lower mass, has greater hardness, sharpness, and also a smaller cross section - thanks to this, its energy is effectively transferred to a small surface area, respectively, the shell has high armor-piercing. Our 57mm BB shell is essentially a chamber ship’s ammunition, that is, a significant part of the volume is occupied by an explosive charge, a tracer and a thick shell to enhance the armor-piercing effect and the formation of fragments, while the armor-piercing tip is made of mild steel to reduce the likelihood of re-striking. No, UBR-281u of course breaks through the armor, but its armor-piercing is in the best case comparable to the 30mm BOPS, if not lower. On the other hand, the armored impact of 57 mm (and even chamber) ammunition is certainly much better, but he will be able to realize it when firing at concrete or brick shelters than on armor.

Without the development of new ammunition - IMHO a meaningless thing. But if in the future there will be selective nutrition and new shells - with a programmable detonation with ready-to-use striking elements, BOPS, with a radar fuse and FCS standards - it may well take off.

Worse, somewhere an order of magnitude.
It is enough to compare the mass of the explosive shell, 100 and 57 mm. landmine. Somewhere 150 grams in 57 caliber and 1.5 kg in 100 mm caliber. And if we compare the impact drop of the blast wave, then by several orders of magnitude.

[ILDM1986]

For the destruction of fortifications and long-term shelters made of reinforced concrete, there is 125-152mm long-barreled artillery, the BMP’s task is to effectively hit enemy firing points, for this 57mm is quite enough, it remains to wait until new BPS and GPE shells are developed. Without them, really replacing 100mm with 57mm will not make sense.

[cast iron]

The mission of the BMP is to fight. In war, there are a large number of goals. It’s one thing when the lieutenant has 3 100mm guns in the platoon right now and at hand, and another thing when the lieutenant needs to get through to the regimental artillery, which still needs to be adjusted and deployed.

[yehat]

that’s not all, actually there’s still a question of which landmine can fly more precisely.
with all the super-rigidity of the 57mm gun, the hundredths have a more stable projectile trajectory and a more hinged one, which makes it possible to more accurately determine the explosion point itself.

[cast iron]

And taking into account that BMP3 appeared OFS ZUOF19 with an explosive mass of 2.3 kg, then we can assume that by its destructive ability it came close to the 122mm OFS of regimental artillery with all the consequences.

The author clearly got excited about exchanging guns for BMP-3, for the 57th there is a niche of its own: BMPT and T-15 and you do not need to create an ideal gun for everything, otherwise it will work for nothing. As the experience of modern local conflicts shows, it is necessary to create modular tactical units in the aggregate, each unit must have the entire set of weapons to deal with any enemy, especially for battles in a city where BMPT with a powerful gun and the ammunition base are desperately needed to increase it at times.
