Say something nice about the BTR-80. Also general APC and IFV thread.
>>61967946russians die in it
>>61967946generals are for fags and redditors
>>61967946>Say something nice about the BTR-80Its cheap. >Also general APC and IFV thread.Best boy coming through. Its just a Patria derivative but the South Africans made a new, and pretty innovative, gun for it. >CAMGUN GI 30>The GI 30 is a unique externally driven electro-mechanical cannon, utilizing a drum-cam to cycle the breech to chamber rounds and extract spent cartridges, thus minimizing gases in the confines of a turret and facilitate for controlled firing rate. DLS designed the GI 30 to fire link-less 30mm x 173 ammunition through a dual feeder – a world-first for this kind of weapon.>As a single-shot weapon, it is also unique for its sniper mode of operation. It is fired from a closed breech position, which offers more accurate fire due to no movement taking place immediately before the round is fired.>Another unique feature is that of ‘next round selection’. Having two feeders, with general ammunition on the right-hand and specialist types in the other feeder, the weapon allows the operator to select a specific round, without first firing off or ejecting an unwanted round.The "sniper mode" sound like a fantastic capability and being about to select your next round w/o fucking with belts or clips is an unspeakably huge QOL improvement for crews.
>>61967946I think it's worst modernish mass produced IFV, but at least it was mass produced
>>61967970It's really good in ARMA 3, I approve.

I dig the looks.
>>61967990>>61967995Its not the only South African thing in Arma 3 either.

Hey warriortard, whatever happened to your "impunity"?
>>61968396>>61968490not today!

Jannie confirmed for baaased.Can we talk about IFV's now?
BTRs are in the “better than literally nothing” category. That includes all the laughable pieces of shit derivatives put out by post-Soviet “””European””” countries /k/ likes to boost. As if bolting Western electronics and other minor upgrades suddenly transforms a piece of shit into something good.
>>61968632>As if bolting Western electronics and other minor upgrades suddenly transforms a piece of shit into something good.it definitely makes them better than the originals
>>61968630Not much to talk about. Few actual developments in the field. All eyes should be on the Ajax, Boxer, and Redback. That's about it.
>>61968632Money is a thing. If your fucking Burkina Faso and you need something and you need something cheap its the way to go. Like you could get 20 Strykers or (for the same price) 100 BTR's.
>>61968653what are thirdies gonna do once all the doviet stuff is extinct?
>>61968667buy Chinese or Turkish
it has a 30mm gunit's lightthe armor sucks but something like a M113 or a technical isn't much better in this regard>>61968641a modernized T-55 isn't going to be competitive with a T-90M or whatever
>>61968734>>61968716 >>61968710>>61968680>>61968745 it's a full-fat autistic meltdown today
>>61968734>>61968745>>61968750>>61968751>>61968759>samefagging this hard
new Puma configuration shown at Eurosatory with newer soft-kill APS MUSS 2.0 and additional turret-independent grenade launcher on the backside
>>61968772>additional turret-independent grenade launcher on the backsidesmokes or the spicy grenades?
MUSS 2.0 on the right compared to MUSS 1st gen on the leftit's smaller, lighter, yet more advancedit can detect a variety of threats and respond with IR jamming and a smoke launcher
>>61968752Lmao thats hilarious>>61968649I really like the Puma, i want to see it in combat to see how it handles. My friend watched one on the British ranges and said they looked like somthing from a scifi movie.
>>61968771>calling out samefagging is seethingthen what is it called when you spam the same comment over and over in a thead?
>>61968779it has both lethal and non-lethal grenades18 each in the launcher

>>61968772the big question for everyone now is detection, classification and elimination of FPV drones
>>61968790that's fucking awesome, but what was the thought process behind adding a GL to something that already has a cannon and mg?
further upgrade potential for the Puma>Spike/MELLS LR2 integration for extended ATGM range>integration of an anti-drone kit so the autocannon can better perform AA duties as well>integration of a small recon drone>acoustic sensors to better detect and target opponnents>automatic systems to relieve the crew and e.g. assign targets automatically to the gunner>>61968804see above, that's planned>>61968812more dakka can't hurt I guessI just wonder if the soft-kill APS is enough
>>61968771Nah thats the Warrior, it ruined your life Lmao.
>>61967946He cute. Has that low and wide super car agressive aesthetic. Also that 30mm autocannon turret is peak sovietpunk. It's shit but looks cooler than the box with barrel sticking out of it you see in western designs.
>>61968734>>61968745>>61968750>>61968751>>61968759>>61968771>>61968819>>61968830>>61968834>>61968848>Truly a storied career
>>61968848>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! STOP TALKING ABOUT OTHER IFVS YOU CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT THE BRAPLEY!why are you like this?
It just looks cool. It has that same weird visual appeal as the hind. As good thing to say about it, I guess it's one of the few good amphibious APCs the Russians have.
>>61968828>Look Paul, hes gone again!Hahahahaha
>>61967946British troops having tea in an IFV
>>61968866>amphibiouson paper at least
>>61968897why does the existence of other ifvs send you into an autistic frenzy?
>>61968882Man that must be a fantastic IFV, they even have T E A
>>61968937>NOTICE ME JANNIES>NOTICE ME WARRIOR>NOTICE ME JAKE PAUUULLLLLLMan you really are a desperate loser kek
>>61968892It's shaped like a boat and has a watter jet. They use it in amphibious landings. The the BMP that's barely able to cross a stream. BTRs are actually pretty good in the water.
>>61968736If a new Oliphant would be competitive with a t-90m, why not?
Boys, whats your ideal:>Tracked IFV>Wheeled IFV>Tracked APC>Wheeled APCBonus points if they have Recovery and Engineering platforms available.
>>61968961boxer is too fat and gross
>>61968967Answer the question

>>61968812for me it's wondering why they put a camera/sensor at the back where a third of the vision is blocked by the turret
>>61967970Love me South African weapons. Shame Mexico didn't go for the Ratel in the 90s. Russikis offered free BTRs. Can't really compete with free.
>>61971198The BTRs in standard Russian form were pieces of shit. The engines were replaced with Mercedes/Detroit engines and the MG was replaced with German and American grenade machine guns. The armor is also lackluster and even bog standard new utility trucks in armed forces use are better protected. They might add new balistic panels soon. Basically APC of thesius. It is however more likely that they will just be retired and replaced by a new 8x8 of local assembly and Euro NATO design. Most Russian equipment in Mexico has proven underwhelming but you can do a lot with them.
I'm sorry starstreak
>>61967962Which one are you?
>>61968792Wait why are you quoting the same po->numbers are differentlmao

>>61972558Because nothing is better than a man sticking his head out and having a look
I always wanted to ask. Is it just me or chinese ZBL-08 looks suspiciously similar to BTR-4?
>>61967946I always loved aesthetics of cold war soviet vehicles and preferred them over western designs. (Just visually though, i always knew they're death traps.)But then i saw Bradley in soviet olive and immediately fell in love.
>>61972968God it’s so fucking sexy
Got to see my beloved Bradley the other day and it’s a beautiful vehicle
>>61973927Where was this at? It’s funny how different these barebones m2s look compared to the BRATted out vehicles
>>61973927A very lewd Bradley picture
>>61973931It’s one of the gate guards at the Letterkenny army depot in Chambersburg, PA. They have quite a few neat vehicles.
>>61972685Got a chuckle out of me. Now get back to work, the shitter's still clogged.
>>61973935>t-twiddle it
>>61968892It's almost certainly amphibious assuming it's properly maintained.
>>61967946this is perfect, now we can legit get rid of all these shitty IFV threads and point the faggots making them to this one.(warriortard, if you're reading this, that includes you, fag.)
>>61973927>>61973935Nice find
>>61968961>Tracked IFVM2A4E1, the performance of other Bradleys in Ukraine has been fantastic and the APS makes it even more survivable, all it needs now is a good EW and it will unironically become the most survivable IFV.>Wheeled IFVVilkas seems pretty dope, but I also have a soft spot for BTRs so I will also add the BTR-90.>Tracked APCNamer with Trophy.>Wheeled APCBoxer
