Episode 20. Kurganets. Combat amphibia #1

In this episode of Combat Approved we will show one of the most important and intriguing novelties of Russian military equipment - a prospective tracked platform Kurganets. The premiere of this machine was first held at the 70th anniversary Victory Parade. Nevertheless, it still remains a mystery to the public. For the first time on TV we will unveil some of the mysteries of the Kurganets. You will see how the vehicle shoots and how reliable its armor is. We will ride on this armor and even take control ourselves. We will visit the secret shop floor, where the Kurganets is assembled, and show some of the interior of this new Russian armored vehicle. You will see for yourself that this is an actual tracked fortress, where you can sit out both chemical attack and a siege. And finally, we will tell you about the new technologies used by the designers to make the Kurganets an ideal combat vehicle for modern warfare, which is significantly different from the past.

Fascinating, they took the same approach as the pak 50 by building 10 versions to test each system separately as you can clearly see the different versions like the hand controller from a bmp 4 on the new gun platform in it's first edition. Then they build a better one on the next were not allowed to see. Who ever is in charge of development of these platforms is a genius and methodical!

This is the Russian engineering school traditional approach... A Russians traditional folks' saying is: 'Do Measure for ten times, Cut only once!'... The traditional Russian approach to check many times in different versions. Do produce only in case if you are very sure! Additionally, Russians do prefer to design the things which can be reused and upgraded many times per their life... It's just cheaper! ;-))

Most IFV have a 20mm/30mm gun so how will that armour help plus even those old RPG will go through.

[@RUSS-wk4ll]

If you listened and read what they say, you would not ask stupid questions. Combined armor and active defense. They started to show a test of a conventional 10mm steel armor plate, which covers the main 30mm armor alloy, the test of which was also shown. Then these 2 layers armor is covered with active armor, which, when hit by a large projectile, creates an oncoming explosion and destroys any pressure on the main armor. Above is an active defense system that catches approaching missiles and large-caliber shells. Then, in the direction of detection, the active system throws out a special grenade of an oncoming explosion, which destroys any projectile or missile at 1.1 / 2 meters in a split second. Although this is an additional measure of protection, active armor is already enough to destroy any projectile.
