This vehicle should have been designed and put into production by 2010 at least. It took them so f cking long.

@Scolopax, here is better picture of BMP-2 model with Epokha turret, plus BMP-3 with same turret.

   4 Kornet ATGMs are not the only ATGMs on this turret, on the roof there is a launcher for a new ATGM by KBP - "Bulat", probably ATGMs against light AFVs as 57 mm gun is low velocity. Why they didn't stick with BMP-3 is unknown for me, but BMP-3 turret/Bakhcha was more elegant system, with better anti-infantry capabilities, with same or better AT abilities as this turret with Bulat ATGMs, Kornets could have been mounted on BMP-3 turret pretty easily.

Denis Mokhrushin about it:

   - Sergey Viktorovich, tell us about the "Tiger", on which the RCWS with a 30-mm cannon is installed. What is this machine for?

   - This initiative development together with the "766 UPTK", in particular, the RCWS from them. Assignment - escort of columns, roadblocks. The beauty in it is: the machine can be put on the roadblock and you can go away for a day. She herself will find the targets, the only thing that will request permission to open fire. But you can configure it so that it will not ask.
   We reported it to Shoigu in May. There is some interest, it is possible that this year even the official design programm will be opened for this machine.
   Last year, we tried to shoot from it, including, one to the side. The car barely swayed.

   - 2A42 or 2A72?

   - 2A72. "42nd" is a good gun, but it has one problem: when you put it in a remote combat compartment, there are difficulties with reloading. The 2A72 has an electric reloading and there are no problems.

...

   - The operator's position in the front seat?

   - Yes. But he can get out of the car altogether: remote control of the installation in a radius of one kilometer is realized.

   - Booking a car from what?

   - 3rd class, as for the base "115th" (ASN 233115 "Tiger-M SpN" - note). You can also put on the "136th" (SBM VPK-233136 "Tiger." - note), there is no difference in which base to mount RCWS.

   - Does it have an index?

   - For the time being, we call it Tiger BRShM, an armored reconnaissance and assault vehicle. There is no digital index.

   Interestingly, the MT-LB was adopted for service almost simultaneously with the Kharkov's T-64 tank. However, unlike the heavily PR-ed "64", "Motolyga" became a real hit. It was very difficult to replace it. It was difficult to such an extent that after the Union collapsed, its production had to be recreated and re-deployed already on the territory of the Russian Federation - in Murom and Rubtsovsk. At the same time, talks about the creation of a replacement began. Here it is worth noting that the manufacturer, able to give the Russian army a full-fledged modern replacement for the MT-LB, can literally get golden rich - there is so much need for such machines. Not surprisingly, several companies are trying to get into this niche.

   So, for example, as an alternative to the MT-LB, the BTR BT-3F is being developed by the "Kurganmash". However, it is obvious that it will not be such - a problem is in the hull made out of of aluminum.

 

   The multi-purpose caterpillar transporter MGT, developed by LLC "Special Machine Building Projects" from Moscow, is the most close to success.

 

   Information on this development is still very small. The developer's website has so far managed to find the following:
   LLC "Special Projects of Mechanical Engineering" is working to create a multi-purpose caterpillar conveyor (MGT) fully adapted to operation in extreme conditions of the Arctic. At present, the stage of calculations and mathematical modeling of the machine is completed.
MGT is an innovative machine in which next technologies are implemented:
-hybrid power plant (GEM);
-electromechanical transmission (EMT);
-intelligent complex of on-board equipment and control systems;
-Remote control capability;
-rubber-metal caterpillars.

 

   The key components (electric motors DVIT-110, generator GVIT-210, control system) are developed by LLC "Special engineering projects". There are no units and assemblies of foreign production in the MGT. There are no analogues of MGT in Russia.
