The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines

@SH_MM

 

maybe you could help with this ?

 

kl. Stzpfr. ca. 120 Grad
gr. Stzpfr. 360 Grad
o.W. Randtreffer.

Sprungsicher

DmA 8mm (Durchschuss mit Ausbruch i think)

 

penetration test of 20mm DM43, what does all these therm means ? 

[SH_MM]

I have no idea what the first two abbreviations are supposed to mean, I cannot figure it out without context.

 

"o.W Randtreffer" means "ohne Wirkung, Randtreffer", i.e. no effect (no penetration/spall) due to hitting the edge (of a steel plate?).

"Sprungsicher" means "safe of cracks", i.e. the steel plate won't form cracks (one translation for Sprung is crack or fissure).

I agree with your interpretation regarding "DMA", it seems to mean "Durchschuss mit Ausbruch", i.e. "penetration with spall".

"SmK" is Spitzgeschoss mit Kern (literally "pointy projectile with core"), i.e. a bullet with hardened steel core for enhanced performance against armor/body armor.

"SS" is scharfes Spitzgeschoss, i.e. a conventional lead/ball bullet. The term is more commonly used for WW2 ammo, but the same applies for "SmK".

"Stzpfr." should be Stanzpropfen (plug formed by projectile impact, i.e. a form of spall).

   "Marker" combat robotic platform, designed for full-scale development of technologies and basic elements of promising ground-based robots. The platform is able to automatically lay the route and move autonomously in urban areas and on rough terrain. The platform can be equipped with a unified payload module for different types of weapons and a module for cluster launch of drones. The developer of the platform is NPO Android Technika (Magnitogorsk, Chelyabinsk Region).

   Video (in Russian) showing Object 282 rocket-armed tank based on T-10M chassis and armed with new ATGM Salamandra. Lead designers - Kotin, Leningrad Kirov design bureau.

 

   Salamandra ATGM was 1.5 m long missile with 170 mm caliber HEAT warhead with ~500mm penetration. Missile was radio-command SACLOS using optical and radar sights (on the video Drakon ATGM was shown in action). Max range - 3km day, 1 km at night.

   282 was very well armored, using significantly re-made chassis of T-10M. Pike nose was deleted, 150 mm UFP at 64degrees was placed. Behind frontal armor a fuel tank was placed, behind which - 30 mm armored plate. Side armor - 60 mm at different angles (shown on the video at 3:20). Upper part of side armor was 150 mm (!). Bottom of the hull was made using spaced plates with 50 mm gap between them for additional anti-mine protection.

   1000 HP engine, 44 tons, 500 km range. Vehicle probably carried 16 missiles, 8 of which were loaded automatically, other 8 - unknown.

   Commander was also a gunner, located in small "turret". Salamandra ATGM was unfinished, so tank was tested with unguided rockets TRS-132 (as "Object 282T"). Vehicle had 2 launchers, with new guidance system "Topol" it was planned to be capable firing at 2 targets in the same time.

 

    Object 282K was armed with 2 launchers for TRS-132, with additional new ATGM launcher in the rear (on the video - 11:45) for testing.

   Interesting info was found on otvaga about BMP-2 with Berezhok turret

   Around 54 BMP-2 with Berezhok turrets are going to be produced until September of 2020. Also that vehicle is designated as B-22 in documents. And about designations:

Quote

B-14 - "Kurganets" with the "Kinzhal" turret
B-15 - "Kurganets" with the "Epokha" turret
B-16 - BMP on the BMP-2 chassis with the "Kinzhal" turret
B-17 - BMP on the BMP-3 chassis with the "Kinzhal" turret
B-18 - BMP on the BMP-2 chassis with the "Epokha" turret
B-19 - BMP on the BMP-3 chassis with the "Epokha" turret
B-22 - BMP on the BMP-2 chassis with the "Berezhok"
B-23 - BMP on the BMD-2 chassis with the "Berezhok"

Can somebody translate? Google suggest this means (among others) 625 lines at 50 hertz... so the T-90's thermal imager is better than Raytheon's second generation FLIR for the M1A2 SEP or is the translation incorrect?

   Видеовыход is "video output", not directly related to thermal imager matrix capabilities.

Thank you. A bit further research shows that Catherine-FC makes use of the Pluton LW SOFARDIR 288 x 4 IRCCD array, which as far as I understand is a result of the Franco-German cooperation for the TRIGAT program.

   Looks like Nerekhta UGV

 

   Oh yeah, it is Nerekhta. 2.5t, HMG+AGS in 360 rotatable turret.

 

   UGV on BTR MDM Rakushka chassis. UGV weight is 17t, optionally manned

 

   That small UGV is called "Nosimiy" ("Wearable" or "Carryable")

 

  Looks like AGS mount (probably guts were removed for safety).

 

   "Vozimiy" ("Transportable", yes, this is a name of that thing). 2 tons, HMG+AG-30. 300 rounds for HMG and 90 grenades for AG-30

 

   First in that line is "Legkiy" ("lightweight" or "easy"). Can have arm or combat module, 200 kg.

 

 

 

   Command vehicle (for ground forces, VDV have CV on BTR MDM chassis with minor differences from usual BTR MDM)
