If I understood correctly, the insinuation here is that DTC-10 (125) penetrator is about 590mm long?

Yes, also the shape of the UFP is changed. Previously it was a flat surfice and now it has an extra angle. Also of note is that the older Epokha module is mounted and no APS is component visible.

Kurganets was always amphibious, even without extra equipment. This is add on armor which is also buyoancy positive.

So this showed up on a recent patent proposing a kinda modified AZ type autoloader capable of fitting enlarged rounds. Seems to me highly likely its the almost mythical Vacuum round.

United States Military Vehicle General: Guns, G*vins, and Gas Turbines
alanch90 replied to Tied's topic in Mechanized Warfare
From this: “We can no longer grow its capabilities without adding weight, and we need to reduce its logistical footprint,” Maj. Gen. Glenn Dean, the Army’s program executive officer for ground combat systems, said in the statement. “The war in Ukraine has highlighted a critical need for integrated protections for soldiers, built from within instead of adding on.” It sounds like AbramsX is the path forward. -

Disapointing but sound decision. There is no merit in reinventing the wheel just for the sake of it. -
The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
alanch90 replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
There is some speculation that they are calling it a "BTR-82" to bypass bureaucratic steps regarding testing and so on, in order to start production as soon as possible.- 5,187 replies

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
alanch90 replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Is that the actual name? I´ve seen other names for the same vehicle on official materials, such as "BTR-22" or "BTR-82 Advanced". BTR-22 is the best name in my opinion.- 5,187 replies

Waste of time when they could just revive the Vena (or just put the Lotos turret on a BMP-3 hull).- 1,902 replies

Active Protection System (APS) for tanks
alanch90 replied to asaf's topic in Ballistics Science Discussion
However that alone should suffice for covering the likely approach angles of top attack ammunition. Also noteworthy is the claim that the system can protect against artillery shells. -
The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
alanch90 replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
In terms of components, yes. For example, lets say that Bumerang orders get significantly cut down or cancelled altogether (of course i know it isn´t cancelled at the moment), then the case for mounting the YAMZ engine on the Kurganets (for commonality) instead of the 2V-6-3 gets a lot less compelling. And if the Kurganets doesn´t need to be able to be compatible with both engines, then the general layout to accomodate an L style engine powerpack arrangement losses a lot of sense as well. Perhaps Kurganets will get a redesign more reminiscing of the initial concepts, with an internal layout more similar to the Manul (which is more efficient in terms of volume available to the crew and squad). We could say the same for the Epokha turret.- 5,187 replies

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
alanch90 replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Seems to be more like a BTR-87 modified to include elements from Boomerang, which isn´t a bad idea at all. Might have rammifications for Boomerang proper as well as Kurganets.- 5,187 replies
