    Advanced Indonsian UGVs LOL The Military Polytechnic Institute of the National Army of Indonesia presented promising combat ground-based robotic systems of domestic development. The attention of journalists was riveted to the unmanned combat system on the chassis of a walk-behind tractor.

    Looks like Azeri troops fell into an ambush 50+KIA

    The most interesting part is they float and tyres provide much of the flotation and all of the propulsion.

    Wonder when someone finaly decides to equip at least VDV and likes with red dots or other optics , seriously these days with irons ............. RAID veper + holy moly dose of steroids
  5. mr.T
    Considering it was near point blank hit , BTR surprisingly survived as well as it did , its thin skinned but at least armor is sloped .

    7.62x39 still popular
  7. mr.T
    its not just for night but for high altitude jumps as you can see the oxygen mask and the parachute for delayed oppening

    and on superflat terrain

    In what way would BMD not be as maintainable as Uran9 or these , lets not forget Uran9 turned out also to be mechanically unreliable. The current attempts to robotise a BMP3 and even lift a roofline seem excesive
  10. mr.T
    Wonder why BMD chassis are not being used as surrogates for these robotic systems , instead resources are being wasted developing the chassis and running geat that then prove to be much less durable that they should be

    T72 'Budget cut' is really an embarrassing upgrade that should be sent to die abroad , ERA coverage is laugable. UVZ should realy take a peek at Serbian M-84 AS1 MBT upgrade for some tips on how to upgrade a T72

    If the price is right this could be a great car with better mine protection than base Tiger, just split the front wind shield in half, for cheaper raplacemnts

    I am quite surprised they use a BTR for these patrols when they have Typhoons
  14. mr.T
    When you are limited by power pack like the Russians best stick to sub 50 ton tank that can use the existing drivetrains , and time will come when 2 man crew is just as effective as 3 man crew

    BMP1AM upgrade is a joke . BMP1 biggest issue is thin armor , all western APC let alone IFVs have these days allround 14.5mm protection with add on armor, and 20+mm over frontal arc .while you can still destroy the BMP-1 with modern 12.7mm AP rounds at angles outside frontal 60°. And any opponent will likely have ither 23 or 25mm cannon Also lacking night fighting capabilty , western armor greatly outclasses Russian armor in terms of optics and thermal vision Unmanned turret could save weight and space inside

    Hope that was just one of many configurations proposed, as mounting any type of jet engine on a helo doesn't make much sense beyond it being a test bed for new rotors and control systems.

    Still looks lower than Namer ,which is the only vehicle in same class.

    Actually Jaguar is quite complex due to doubling of all the optics having both traditional glass and optronic sights for each station makin turret much more complex, hydropneumatic suspension greatly increases the hit probability while shooting on the move. can limp away with shot tyres tha normal suspension couldn't , but more importantly it can hug the ground to make for much smaller target. French have lots of experience with hydropneumatic suspensions and you can expect more of the worlds armies adopting these not just for wheeled but also tracked vehicles.

    Thermal vids ,ambushes
  20. mr.T
    Double tap is quite standard SAM tactic,doesn't mean any of them missed , its just a way to make the 87% hit probability a 100%
  21. mr.T
    Russian MOD sure is playing with lots on different protected 4x4 , wonder why not go for a down select to one or two more mass produced models

    Most of these seem to be Yemenis , but still its a huge win for the Huthis. They are mentioning cca 2000 captured , but tha seems unlikely high number
  24. mr.T
    Parachute drop malfunction BMP2 BMD2
  25. mr.T
    Interesting how they mounted the optics so it can recoil and survive what looks like a brutal kick.
