shoot from “Dupleta”. “Ukroboronprom” demonstrated a new weapon station

"Ukroboronprom" tests showed "Doublet" combat module, passing at a field of polygons Zhytomyr, transfers “Warspot” with reference to the press service of the State Concern. Ukraine has demonstrated for the first time a full-size mock-up of a new combat unit “Duplet” to held in Amman, Jordan with 9 by 12 May 2016 Year XI international exhibition-conference Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference (SOFEX 2016)

Постреляли из "Дуплета". "Укроборонпром" продемонстрировал новый боевой модуль

Initially, "Doublet" designed for the modernization of BMP-2, so the test module was mounted on the machine. The developers point, that "Doublet" may also be mounted on tank T-64 and other armored vehicles.

The press service of Zhytomyr armored plant, which is part of the concern "Ukroboronprom", reports, that the rate of firing 30mm guns can reach over 1000 rounds per minute (16 shells per second). This allows you to effectively destroy gun emplacements, an easy armored vehicles and low-flying air targets.

Module “Duplet” represents rather Original design with a separate set of pits in one of two stabilized turret 30 mm automatic cannon ZTM2 (Ukrainian copy 2A42 cannon) – each “with his “sparennыm” 7,62-mm machinegun KT-7.62 (a copy of the PCT). Top of the tower an additional set of 30-mm automatic grenade antipersonnel KBA-117 (a copy of the AGS-17) and four launchers PTUR R-3 Complex “Barrier”. Hour fire control system includes a thermal imaging, television channels and an optical and laser rangefinder. Calculation of the combat module – two people, located in the turret compartment.

The solution with the installation of two 30-mm cannon is very strange, He writes a blog bmpd, and it may make sense to conduct a prolonged fire of them (interleaved guns for temperature conditions), or to quickly move from one type to the other shells (in the case of charging each of the different type of guns munitions). However, higher dimensions, the complexity and cost of such an installation is unlikely to pay off these features
