BTR-90 Armoured Personnel Carrier

Mission

The BTR-90 armoured personnel carrier isdesigned to transport personnel with organicarms and provide fire support on the battle-field.

As compared to its predecessors the BTR 90features considerably improved fire power,protection, and mobility.

Armament

The vehicle's armament, mounted on therevolving turret, comprises the 30mm 2A42cannon, the 7.62mm PKTM coaxial machinegun, the 9K113M Konkurs-M ATGM, and the30mm AG-17 automatic grenade launcher.The cannon, the coaxial machine gun, and theautomatic grenade launcher are stabilised intwo-planes. The ATGM system can be firedboth from the vehicle and a remote launcher,which increases the APC's combat capabilitiesand survivability when in defence due to dis-persed fire of the organic weapon systems andmasking of the real firing position of the vehi-cle proper.

Features

The APC's closed hull boasts increased anti-explosion capability due to V-shaped bottomproviding a higher level of protection againstmines. In addition to that, front armour platesare capable of sustaining small-calibre armour-piercing projectiles. When required, the APCcan be fitted with additional armour protec-tion. The BTR-90 is fitted with the automaticfire-fighting, the NBC protection, and the inte-

grated chassis control systems. The vehicle's superb mobility is provided by

the powerful multi-fuel diesel engine, hydro-mechanical transmission with hydrovolumetricgear, and independent torsion bar suspensionwith great dynamic travels and increased-power intensity hydraulic shock absorbers.

Mission

The BTR-80 APC is designed to transportmilitary personnel under light armour protec-tion, and provide fire support.

The BTR-80 APC is provided with ten seats toaccomodate the squad (vehicle) commander,driver, gunner and seven troops.

It features a powerful diesel engine, whichhas considerably increased the APC's mobility.

The BTR-80 also boasts better protection thanits predecessors.

General description

Given combat experience of the APC inalpine terrain, the mounted troops' smallarms field of fire has been considerablyincreased. The vehicle has also been fittedwith a turret machine gun with an elevationof 60 degrees, and a new 1PZ-2 opticalsight, which enables the vehicle to fire at airtargets. The APC also mounts six barrelsmoke dischargers on the rear side of theturret in order to set smoke screens.

The BTR-80 is equipped with bullet-proof tyres, which allow the APC to keepon moving even after they have been pen-etrated by bullets or fragments. The vehi-cle is capable of moving even when it hitsan anti-tank mine and two of its wheels onone side are rendered ineffective.

Dismounting of personnel, even on themove, has been made easier due to fittingthe APC with larger clamshell side doors(lower panels are used as ramps).

The BTR-80's reliable design became thebasis for developing a whole range of vari-ous-purpose wheeled armoured vehicles.

Features

The vehicle features top-notch combat and technicalcharacteristics proven in varioustests and in combat. Based onthe experience of the recentlocal wars which underlined theneed of enhancing the BTR-80sfirepower to step up security oftroops and convoys escorted, adecision was taken to fit thevehicle with a new turret hous-ing an externally-mounted30mm automatic cannon and acoaxial 7.62mm machine gun.The gunners sight ensures accu-rate fire delivery against low-fly-ing air targets. Introduction ofthe TPN3-42 tank passive/activenight sight and the OU-5Mfloodlight have stepped up the

vehicles night fire capability. The gun andcoaxial machine guns high elevation anglesenable the firer to effectively engage targetson top storeys of buildings when fighting inurban areas, as well as those occupying higherpositions in mountains.

Concept

Recent combat operations offer agraphic example of how importantprotection of infantry against contem-porary weapon systems is. Existinglight armoured wheeled and trackedvehicles in service with many coun-tries are not always capable of provid-ing enough protection.

To increase protection, Russianarmour designers have developed theBTR-T heavy APC, based on the T-55MBT, with armour protection compa-rable to that of an MBT.

Equipped with ERA and a contem-porary NBC protection system, thearmoured hull provides reliable pro-tection of the crew, comprising the command-er, the driver, and five troops.

Features

The main feature of the BTR-T is the tankchassis mounting a low-profile turret with aplatform, armed with contemporary gun andmissile systems, including the 30mm 2A42cannon and the Konkurs ATGM launcher. Thisarmament enables the vehicle to efficientlyengage enemy personnel, as well as armouredground and low-flying air targets. The combatcompartment houses five comfortable seats

for troops. Troops exit through two hatches onthe roof, with armoured covers openingupwards to protect them during exit or whenmounted.

The BTR-T is capable of reaching a speed of50 km/h and transporting infantry personnelin eventual NBC environment or in close firecontact with the enemy, as well as efficientlydestroying targets on the battlefield.

The modular design of the combat com-partment allows the vehicle to be fitted withvarious armament packages at the customer'srequest: (1) 30mm 2A42 cannon and two Konkurs

ATGM launchers; (2) 30mm 2A42 cannon with 30mm AG-17

automatic grenade launcher; (3) Two twin 30mm 2A38 cannons; (4) 12.7mm NSVT machine gun and two

Mission

The MT-LB and the MT-LBMmulti-purpose tracked technicalsupport vehicles are designed totransport personnel, tow systemsand trailers with a total weight of6.5 t, and counter light armouredground and air targets.

Features

The vehicles feature high mobilityand cross-country capability in vari-ous terrain, including swamps, loosesnow and sand. When the vehicle isfitted with special snow/swamptracks, its specific ground pressure is less than0.28 kg/sq.cm, i.e. less than that of a human.With a nominal load of up to two tonnes thevehicle is capable of negotiating water obstaclesat a speed of 5-6 km/h. Due to its high mobili-ty, the MT-LB is popular with armed forces ofvarious states, including NATO countries.Relatively small weight and dimensions allowthe vehicle to be airlifted by utility helicopters.

The MT-LB chassis are employed in self-pro-

pelled air defence and anti-tank systems, com-mand vehicles, self-propelled artillery systems,and airlifted earthmoving vehicles.

In order to improve the vehicle's fire power,the MT-LBM 6MA and the MT-LBM 6MB modi-fications have been developed recently. They arearmed with the 14.5mm KPVT machine gunand the 30mm 2A72 cannon respectively.

MT-LB and MT-LBM Multi-Purpose Tracked Technical Support Vehicles

Purpose

The BTR-50PK APC is a lightweight amphibi-ous tracked armoured combat vehicle fittedwith a troop compartment. It can carry up to 20fully outfitted troops or 2,000kg military hard-ware. Developed some 50 years ago, the APC isstill in service with many armed forces acrossthe globe.


A programme for the BTR-50PK transmis-sion/engine upgrading was developed in 2000.

Modernisation is centred around the upratedto 300 hp V6-BF engine, similar in design to theBTR-50PK's standard engine. The APC's maxi-mum speed is increased to 60 km/h byinstalling a set of upgraded components: increased-power engine;

ejector with greater oil and water radiators; reinforced main clutch to transmit greater

engine torque; synchronizer-equipped gearbox.

The improved engine and transmissioncomponents provide: their accomodation into organic mounting

seats in the hull; retention of the same vehicle control tech-

niques, thus eliminating necessity to retrainpersonnel;

retention of practically the same weight ofthe chassis;

retrofitting of the APC at any workshopequipped with one-tonne hoist.

penetration and lethal spalling effect regard-less of fire range. Targets protected by armouror hidden behind obstacles, fragments ofarmour or obstacle are defeated by a com-

bined effect of the shaped-charge jet and theshock wave. Effective against wood/soil, brickand concrete fortifications, the projectile alsohas a fragmentation anti-personnel effect.

The round is a separate loading munitionwith a semi-combustible propellant case. Theprojectile is stabilised in flight by six pop-upfins. A tracer element with a burning time of 6-7 sec is employed to ensure its in-flight obser-vation and fire adjustment.

Fired from the 125mmmain armament, the round iseffective against field fortifica-tions, lightly-armoured tar-gets, exposed weapons andenemy personnel.

The round is a separateloading munition made up

of a projectile and a semi-combustible pro-pellant case with the main propellantcharge. The potent HE projectile ensures ananti-personnel fragmentation effect in anarea of 520 sq.m. Flight stabilisation is pro-vided by a fin assembly with four foldingfins.

Designed for 125mm tankguns, the round can be usedagainst up-to-date upgradedMBTs with combined armourprotection, self-propelledguns, pillbox embrasure doors,armoured cupolas and otherarmoured targets. The projec-tiles flat trajectory and short

flight time allow the round to be used againsttime-critical targets.

Featuring separate loading, the round com-prises a projectile with an incremental propel-lant charge and a semi-combustible propel-lant case housing the main propellant charge.The projectiles body features a five-fin stabi-lizer and a sabot which is discarded after theprojectile has left the barrel. The tracer ele-ment with a burning time of 2-3 sec is usedfor observing the projectile in flight andadjusting fire.
