This is just a crude 3d model, Turret bustle side ERA modules clips through hull details.

ATGM carrier on Kurganets-25 chassis

Strange that nobody paid attention to giant FUCKING RADAR-looking thing on top of that ATGM carrier. Radar detection of targets? Radar-guided missiles? Top attack and fire and forget is for dirty capitalists, i guess.

Are we absolutely sure this isnt an anti air vehicle? Those missiles are too small to be ATGMs. However thin missiles with a kinetic kill mechanism or thin cylindrical fragmentation warheads for short range engagement of helicopters, is a thing.

PS, got a link for the whole presentation? 

[Scolopax]

The autocannon certainly seems more appropriate for anti-air duty instead of a dedicated tank killer.

link in Soviet tanks thread and vehicle was noted as самоходная пусковая установка ПТРК, self-propelled ATGM launcher. Maybe they are using Bulat ATGM? IDK.

 

It does looks like SPAAG, but I never saw such SPAAG before. And there is Derivatsiya already. Until it is proven to be SPAAG I am going with what was written in presentation.

[LoooSeR]

So they put a hatch on a hatch so you can open hatch while you open a hatch

Yes, it looks like Bulat.

 

And BRM-3 "Rys" also has a radar.

The more I look, the more it seems to me that this is armored reconnaissance vehicle like M3 Bradley (CFV).

Are those red things Drozd?

size is too small for Drozd APS and Drozd is outdated and I doubt that it will be used. Those are IMO smoke grenade launchers like on Boomerang-BM turrets, you can see those on photos posted here.

Maybe it is light and simplified version of Khrizantema, only instead of heavy ATGM they wanted to use Bulats? Detection with radar, all ATGMs to use are in launcher in ready-to-fire configuration instead of being loaded in autoloader magazine on Khrizantema.

What's the deal with Bulat?  It seems too small to be a significant threat.....Could it be a means of defeating APS/ERA by sheer volume of fire?

Bulat is the T-64 upgrade with Nozh ERA and T-80U-like rubber panels.  I'm not quite sure what you are referring to.

57mm ATGM.

That's the one.....Surely something that small's just going to make an interesting splattery pattern on a modern AFV's armour?

 

Was wondering if it might be intended to overwhelm active defences before something like the Ataka or Kornet actually kicks the target's teeth in?

[Collimatrix]

Ah, I understand now.

a 57mm GLATGM seems like a reasonable way to kill everything that isn't an MBT.

It is Shipunov's conception of "Ideal" weapon - so called "smart bullet", in reality a beam riding small missile with not CE, but high speed kinetic warhead (along the round). Designed for use by a single trooper or as add-on weapon for IFV and so on.

[Collimatrix]

Now that is interesting.  Sounds similar to the US LOSAT.

Bulat is some sort of light ATGM that I saw for the first time when Epokha turret models photos appeared. Never saw anything about it - caliber, penetration, type of warhead, guidance system, etc. Although it had smaller caliber than Kornet ATGM.

[LoooSeR]

Was noted on otvaga - somebody very 'smart' cut a piece of hatch from T-14.
