The Kurganets-25 reminds me a lot like a gold plated M113.

 

Very square.

Isn't literally every other western tracked APC/IFV? (Other than my beautiful Namer <3)

Buoyancy requires large volume and low density.

The Russian army will purchase BMPT "Terminator" and modernized BMP-3 with the combat module "Epoch".

 K-17 Bumerang

BMP-3 with an Epoch turret, and a K-17 with a Berezhok turret. What the actual fuck?

 

Back on topic:

First time I'm hearing the Bumerang is rated at 14.5mm protection:

They called this version of K-17 as "Berezhliviy"... (Thrifty)

 

 

lol

[LoooSeR]

And speaking about Boomerang. A turret, that some people called Epokha here, when refering to turret on Boomer, is called Boomerang-BM. Epokha turret have 57 mm low velocity gun. Boomerang-BM turret and Berezhok have basically same weapons, difference is that Boomerang-BM is unmanned and have plenty of electronic gizzmos.

May i ask, why exactly a Low velocity gun is choosen on the Epokha turret?
I thought it would be more like the gun of the Derivatsiya.

No idea. Unmanned BMP-3-like weapon system with added programmable 100 mm HE-frag round and 4 Kornet-EMs bolted on turret sides would have been more than sufficient.

 

57 mm "light assault gun" is good only against infantry and unarmored vehicles, but because this gun is pretty weak against anything armored, they added new "middle-caliber" ATGM - "Bulat". This means that vehicle will end up with MG, main 57mm gun, and 2 different ATGMs. And with such amount of weapons vehicle will still be less capable against infantry in buildings and fortification (BMP-3 have 100 mm gun for such situations) compared to Dragoon and Bakhcha-equipped IFVs.

i have question 

this is the  interception projectiles launchers ( for the high speed projectiles " APFSDS " )

   Tubes in the turret near turret ring - yes. Thing, that those arrows point, are covers of capbles that are used change magnetic field of the vehicles to decrease chance of detonating over vehicle of ATGM with magnetic sensors .  

[LoooSeR]

Can you buy a room in a Boomerang? Or after it will be out of service, you couldprobably build a luxury hoter out of hull of that thing.

According to the Russian wiki it is ERA 

 

for the interception projectiles launchers (launchers arrays) T-14 have two launcher placed on either side of the turret

   I am speaking about piece of sheet metal on top of side armor modules, just under arrow's tips. Same sheet metal cover can be found on frontal part of the vehicle, covering same cable. Also, it is unknown if it ERA, as one of sources description of what is inside of those modules suggest a blend of NERA and ERA. I covered this subject on one of first pages of this thread. Same with Afganit.

   At the last International Military Technical Forum "Army-2017" the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation presented, among other things, information about the system of modular propellant charges created as part of the development of ammunition for the long-range 152-mm artillery complex " Coalition "(R&D "Coalition-BP", developer - JSC "Scientific Research Machine Building Institute named after V.V. Bakhirev ", Moscow).

Each "Module" is no more than 10 kg.

   Also in the exposition of the International Military Technical Forum "Army-2017" a 152-mm shot with a 3G4 concrete-piercing shell created within the framework of the same R&D "Coalition-BP" was presented. The shot is designed to defeat the field fortification and other defensive structures, logistics infrastructure. It is used for firing from the 152-mm self-propelled howitzer 2S35 "Coalition-SV".

   The composition of the shot

- projectile 3G4

- bottom fuse

- full variable modular propellant charge 4-З-27

- electric shock tube TV-UED-3 (3KV9)

Berezhok tuuret on Bumer. Note that it seems that turret was raised because there was not enough space for turret combat compartment "guts".

Armata's main gun

And there I thought they actually moved on to unitary ammunition. 

 

Also stolen from Otvaga:

 

Test footage of on-target firing from 100m distance.

After 3 shots:

 

The 4th shot hits the wooden beam:

 

GIF form. Notice the target also gets another piece off. Some speculated it to be shockwave-related.
