Ukrainian BTR-3E1 with 90-mm cannon CMI CSE90LP
The Belgian company CMI Defence collaboration with the SE "Kiev armored plant" in 2013 year on the basis of an armored personnel carrier BTR-3E developed a lightweight wheeled tank with 90 mm cannon and missile weapons «Cockerill».
Armored personnel carrier BTR-3E1 is designed to 2010 year. BTR-3E1 from earlier versions of the BTR-3E family is different advanced fire control system, streamlined design, enhanced protection, quality welds. The regular crew BTR-3E1 is composed of three persons: the driver, commander and command module gunner. To date, the production of the most advanced version of the BTR-3E1 is carried out in three Ukrainian factories – State Enterprise "Kiev armored plant", State Enterprise "Zhytomyr armored plant", State Enterprise "Kharkov plant of special machines".
Hull production BTR-3E1 is on – Azovzagalmash in Mariupol, Donetsk region, LLC "Lozovsky forging-Mechanical Plant" in Lozova, Kharkiv region, as well as the State Enterprise "Kiev armored plant".
Weaponry BTR-3E1 is entirely composed of components of Ukrainian producers. BTR-3E1 coated deforming pixel staining. Deforming pixel coloration reduces visibility APCs BTR-3E1 and reduces the detection range of his opponent. BTR-3E1 has differentiated bulletproof steel armor protection and Ballistic protection "Kevlar" material (para-aramid fabric). Armored personnel carrier equipped with air conditioning. For external communication on an armored personnel carrier BTR-3E1 installed radio – «Tadiran» VRS-980/VRS-6020, R-173M and radio R-173PM (bandwidth - 30000-75000 kHz), for internal communications – Intercom apparatus and switching TPU P-174.
Armored personnel carrier BTR-3E1 equipped radionavigation apparatus intended for continuous determination of location coordinates, time and absolute ground speed vector of the object on the radio signals of GLONASS and GPS NAVSTAR anywhere in the world, at any time, regardless of weather conditions, solving problems, Display navigation parameters.
Housing BTR-3E1 welded, made of armor steel sheets rolled from a thickness 4 to 30 mm and provides protection from bullets 12.7 mm caliber. BTR-3E1 armored plates installed at great angles. Housing BTR-3 is fully sealed, It has a streamlined shape, which increases its amphibious quality and is equipped with a foldable flap volnootrazhatelnym, fit into the stowed position the sheet on the frontal housing, thereby enhancing its protection.
Armored personnel carrier BTR-3E1 is developing at highway speed to 107 kmh. Fuel distance 600 kilometers. BTR-3E1 able to swim at a speed of 10 km / h to force water barriers via the jet propulsion unit, which is mounted at the stern of the hull. To overcome the water hazard, driver mechanic, without leaving the armored, activates trim vane and includes bilge pumps.
The front housing portion is disposed BTR-3E1 separation places control of the driver and the commander, located in the middle part fighting compartment, coincident with landing. In the fighting compartment, just behind the seats of the driver and commander, there are four single-seat landing, deployed back to the board. separation of management and fighting compartment BTR-3E1 armored personnel carriers lined with Kevlar, preventing the wounded soldiers from bullets and shrapnel.
Six Marines aft troop compartment are located there on two longitudinal plastic seats in the center, sitting face-to-board. Troopers armored personnel carriers BTR-3E1 has the ability to fire from under armor, for which purpose the sides of the housing are made spherical embrasures, deployed toward the front hemisphere. Marines go in the car and out of it through the double-wing side doors on each side of the body. The lower part of the door falls down and forms a step, and the upper part opens to the side during the movement of the machine. On the roof there are also amphibious landing hatches.
At the stern of the hull located engine-transmission compartment. In the engine compartment armored personnel carriers BTR-3E1 is installed in-line six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine MTU 6R106TD21 volume 7,2 l capacity 325 hp, docked with the six-speed automatic transmission Allison 3200SP. Also in the power pack of the BTR-3E1 installed automatic fire department equipment. Steering armored personnel carriers BTR-3E1 is equipped with power steering. Armored personnel carrier BTR-3E1 is equipped with bulletproof tires Ukrainian KI-113 140 HC10 or French 12.00R20 Michelin tires on request. Michelin tires are diagonal, beskamernыmi, variable pressure, dimensionality 335/80 R20XXZL MTPL.
To improve the maneuverability of the four front wheels are steering. BTR-3E1 is equipped with a centralized system to regulate pressure in the tires, that allows the driver to quickly change the pressure to overcome the difficult off-road sections. Each tire armored personnel carriers BTR-3E1 can make getting 3 bullets, caliber 7,62 mm, with damage to the wheel and the pressure loss can drive an armored personnel carrier least 50 km without replacement tires.
Tower combat module BM-3 "Storm"
Armored personnel carrier BTR-3E1 can be equipped with three choices of combat units – "Squall", "Thunder", "Storm", Developed and manufactured in Ukraine.
BTR-3E1 is equipped with a turret weapon station BM-3M "Sturm-M" with the remote control from the field commander and operator. Armament combat module BM-3M "Sturm-M" ensures destruction of armored vehicles, manpower and helicopters. Combat module BM-3M "Sturm-3M" is one of the most compact yet most powerful of existing combat units in this class. combat advantage module BM-3M "Sturm-M" is occupied by a small internal volume, crew compartment BTR-3E1. Produces combat units BM-3C "Sturm-C" and BM-3M "Sturm-M" state enterprise "Kiev armored plant".
Combat module BM-3M "Sturm-M" armored personnel carriers BTR-3E1 is equipped with electro-optical surveillance system, aiming and fire control (SUO) "Trek-M" production PAO "Caesar" (Chernigov factory of radio). fire control system "Track-M" provides surveillance and detection of ground targets and helicopters, Aim and remote control weapons BTR-3E1.
Complex fire control "Track-M" consists of optoelectronic sighting system in REM, device-round view "Panorama-2P", integrated with the device PN-B – gun fire control ATGM "Barrier" and the stabilizer arms IED-500-4TS-01 equipped with two axial angular velocity sensor, stabilizing arms combat unit "Storm" in the vertical and horizontal planes, allowing the BTR-3E1 to fire on the move on rough terrain. On the tower firing module BM-3M "Sturm-M", three pieces on each side, set 81 mm or aerosol smoke grenades 902V "Cloud", electrically operated.
The commander has a single panoramic surveillance device, asked goals and reconnaissance «Panorama-2P», and a control unit for combat duplicate fire control gunner through sighting devices. Panoramic camera "Panorama-2P" is able to rise to a height of 0,5 m over the tower and APCs provide the circular charts, commander used for target designation gunner. panoramic surveillance system "Panorama-2P" is also produced at PJSC "CheZaRa".
The remote-controlled weapon module BM-3M "Sturm M" has a 30 mm cannon ZTM-1, 7,62-mm machine gun 7.62 CT, 30-mm automatic grenade launcher KBA-117 and anti-tank complex "Barrier" guided weapons with two rockets with armor penetration behind ERA least 800 mm. Threaded automatic 30mm cannon dual supply ZTM-1 has ammo 200 shells. Ammunition 7.62mm gun CT is 7.62 500 rounds. On the left side of the module is mounted 30-mm automatic grenade launcher KBA-117, which one 29 ready to use grenades, and additionally 87 grenades carried in reserve (three stores, each of which is located at the 29 Garnet).
The design of the combat module BM-3M "Sturm-M" is very flexible, making it easy to replace existing weapon with another, eg, replace-controlled laser beam ATGM "Barrier" on tethered ATGM "Konkurs-M", or of the "Red Arrow" missiles controlled by wire.
