Pizarro Switchology & Fire Control System

It's time to return to the Switchology videos. Should you find yourself, in the zombie apocalypse, faced with only the choice of a Pizarro IFV, it would be very unfortunate were you not to know how to operate the weapon systems. For a vehicle which entered service this century, it's still surprisingly basic.
When you're done, this is an interesting little video, with a clip showing the Spanish Army training with this simulator (Steel Beasts Pro PE). Then come back here and hit the other Switchology videos! • My steel house - life ...

[@podemosurss8316]

1:26 Spain has a history of collaborating with German-speaking countries when it comes to engineering. In small arms we had (and still have) deals with Mauser and HK, in land vehicles we use a locally produced version of the Leopard 2 (Leopard 2E), and in aviation we had some rather interesting models like the HA-112 in WW2, which was a Spanish produced version of the Me-109 having a Swiss engine. When it comes to tanks and vehicles, Spain has both used as purchased, produced with license and modified tanks from other nations, for example the first tank ever produced in Spanish soil was the Trubia A4 tank, which was a local version of the FT-17 removing the main gun for more crew space. In the 1930s, the Nationalists received Panzer I "tractors" (officially shipped as "agricultural equipment") and used them as well as retrofitted them adapting the tanks to their needs in the battlefield against the better T-26B used by the Republicans. The resulting mix was a modified Panzer I with a 20mm Breda AT gun nicknamed "Negrillo" ("Blacky") by the soldiers. They also created a design which mixed the turret of a Panzer I, the gun of a T-26 and the canopy of a CV-35 into a tank which combined their strenghts: tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/Spain/verdeja-no-1 Currently, as Spain and Germany have a story of collaboration since the 1940s and have been allies since the 1980s, we are particularly close when it comes to development. Another piece of trivia: the Pizarro originally was just to be a substitute for the older M113 that the US had sold for cheap to Spain in the 50s, but the Austrian part of the design bureau wanted for it to be able to act as a compliment to the Leopard 2A tanks that Austria was purchasing from Germany, so the design bureau made them with such ideas in mind, and ironically, 2 years after the Pizarro was introduced, Spain started acquiring and producing under license the Leopard 2E as well...

[@zoperxplex]

That tradition probably has something to do with a subconscious fear that if Spain becomes too reliant on France it risks becoming the latter's protectorate.

[@podemosurss8316]

I had no idea of the existence of the Trubia A4 tank nor the Verdeja, the latter in particular looked pretty cool and I would love to see it in either world of tanks or war thunder (WT already has the CV-35 and T-26 in game so it shouldn't be too difficult to implement). Thank you for bringing those to light

[@glmm2001]

Sorry, but most of the information is plainly wrong. For starters, the ASCOD was to be an IFV in the BMP/Bradley style to replace the M113 in mechanized brigades as in the US or German armies with the Bradley/Marder, not an overall replacement for the M113 series. Spain in the 1980s selected a downsized variant of the Leopard 2, the Lince, to replace the AMX-30 and M-47/48 then in use, so we “chose” the Leo 2 well in advance of Austra, which at the time used the M60. After Lince was canned, we received a lot of ex US Army M60s and there was a plan to upgrade them..... canned after deciding the Leopard 2 has much more potential. And we did so before the Austrians again. The Trubia A4 had nothing to do with the FT beyond being a two crewman infantry support light tank, using a German developed (and terribly unsuccessful) suspension system with no suspension elements but designed to make impossible to throw a track. On the Hispano HA 1109/1112 series, they used French Hispano Suiza Z89 engines and later British Merlin 500s; the sole Swiss component being a Scher Weiss propeller for the Hispano powered airframes which never really entered service. On industrial collaborations, the main one was undoubtedly with France as Spain built under license 200 AMX-30 tanks up to 1983. The collaboration between Pegasp (later Santa Barbara) and Steyr of Austria started at around that time, the Pandur being heavily “inspired” by the BMR series. As both companies had good relationships at the time, it was decided to lauthe design of s modern IFV, something with s huge market potential at the time. The Pizarro FCS was originally designed by ENOSA, wich had previous experience with the Mk7 FCS for the M48 and the Mk9 for the AMX-30EM2. The Mk10 was an evolutionary design and kept the (outdated) moving reticle system for lead, also used by the British IFCS designed in the 70s

[@podemosurss8316]

@@glmm2001 Okay, for the most part you have misread what I wrote, but yes, you point to some errors I made. I confused the Hispano Aviación with other models from the time, concretely the Hispano Suiza series which did use Swiss engines. The Trubia A4 shares both canopy, engine and basically anything except the turret with the FT-17, the main difference between both models being that the A4 removed the gun for increased crew space inside, but it's a model developed taking the FT-17 as basis. I never said that Spain didn't collaborate with France but we also have a history of collaborating with Germany, specially when it comes to small arms. After all, since 1875 Spain has always used as standart infantry rifle either a German-designed rifle (Mauser C93 and G-36), a local version of a German rifle (Mauser C93/16 'Oviedo') or a gun developed taking a German gun as the basis (CETME, which was developed from the StG-44). As for Spain in the 1980s, the thing is that both the Pizarro, the Lince, the adoption of the upgraded Leopard 2E and many more developments come from the "Proyecto Coraza" (Proyect Armor) which intended to modernise the armoured and mechanised units replacing the older vehicles from the 1940s and 1950s by far newer and more powerful vehicles. It was a large success, in my opinion.

Indeed, at the time Pizarro conquered Peru, he was working for Charles von Habsburg, who at the time was both King of Spain and Emperor of Germany, and he had given the title of Archduke to his brother (ironically Charles never spent a single day in Spain before being named king, whereas his brother had spent his full life there).

Great Video. I don't necessarily agree that a lot of collaborative projects fail. It seems to be something that people default to. Eurofighter has been undoubtedly successful, despite the french pull out, also Panavia Tornado. The IRIS-T& Meteor missiles and probably some other ordnance. The New Boxer CRV that We (Australia) are getting is a Joint project design. With this said. I'm sure that There are plenty of failed Collaborative projects and I might just be pushing the pendulum here.

[@ramjb]

There are indeed a lot of failed cooperation attempts in history. The Leopard 2 and Abrahams were developed from a failed co-development for a MBT in the 70s between USA and Germany, for instance. So did the AMX30 and Leopard 1, both of which were born after a crashed coop project between France and Germany. Several helicopter and plane projects also failed because of widely different requirements from the cooperating nations which had to be settled with a proper base platform that would satisfy everyone, and disagreement on manufacturing and equipment to be used meant big tensions in the development cycle. For instance France pulled out of the Eurofighter program when they couldn't get away with using french engines for the plane. The other nations had settled on the R&R powerplant but France wouldn't have any of it, and off they went to design the Rafale, causing the whole Eurofighter project to be put on hold and in doubt for a good while afterwards. Then of course there's the economic side of things: who produces which parts, how will the licensing and export profits be shared between the cooperating nations, which equipment (and from which nation's developer) is used, so on. Many a project has crashed because neither of the partners would give up their demands on one (or several) of those points. Even the success stories usually are marred with some horror stories. Eurofighter walked the thin line of cancellation too many times for comfort, for instance, and ended up several times over the initial estimated budget and the shares of the whole program had to be re-negotiated several times during the development cycle as nations moved in or out of the project...for instance Spain wasn't initially in it at all, while France was one of the main members of the consortium that was to design the plane. Each one of those adjustements of nations leaving, or coming in, meant severe delays on the project given the demand of re-negotiating the shares of each nation in it, not to mention the extra requirements from the new nations needed to be incorporated into the design, while those requirements stemmed from the needs of the quitting nations had to be evaluated to see if they were worthwhile anymore. All in all, a MASSIVE mess. It's almost a miracle an useful plane (let alone one as good as the Eurofighter seems to be) came out from such a nightmarish development. The Tigre helicopter development also was marred with continuous problems that stemmed from the very different purposes the helicopter was intended to have in it's either german or french (and later spanish) versions. And the result seems to be less than impressive (at least the Australians hated the thing with all their guts after they purchased the model). Something as straightforward as a transport should be, as the A400, also ended up being grossly overbudget and, again, narrowly avoided cancelation. In general, the results international cooperation for advanced military vehicles has been not really that great where even the successes were narrow ones and were very close to be total failures instead. There are exceptions to the norm, and usually involve less ambitious projects. The Pizarro/Ulan is a good instance of that, the vehicle wasn't exactly ground breaking nor abnormally advanced for the time it was designed, and focused on being efficient and effective over using the latest, best, tech. The Alpha Jet is a good instance for an international success in a plane design, again because the plane was intended to be simple, cheap and effective over it being groundbreaking or super-advanced. But those kind of successes are kind of the rare exception.

[@birdmonster4586]

@@ramjb This is a real novella here and I already tried responding to it before i had a blackout and lost the indepth response. My point is that Cooperative efforts don't end in outright failure as much as people want to tell you. Most will result in a success of some sort. For the AMX-30 and Leo1 which were not "born after a crashed coop project between France and Germany." But the competing designs from FINABEL3A5 were both successful and at the end of the day Europe got a new MBT just like not exactly as FINABEL 3A5 intended. I'd recommend the Haynes Manuals on the AMX-30 and Leo 1 if you want more info on their development. You can buy them off the Tank Museums website and support them too. Tiger has not been hated by us down in Australia. The media loves to drag it and the MRH90 through the mud because the acquisition wasn't all smooth sailing, frankly this is mostly politically motivated and you can see this in the new effort to plan for a Tiger Replacement by 2025.

A3 then? FLIR is a tad better, more expensive, and more modern than most thermal imagers. My A2 Brad couldn’t get facial recognition

[@Mn-yh2bp]

The_Chieftain an upgraded version of the A2 actually but it’s newer than most A3s. M2A2 ODS SA. The primary difference between it and an A3 is the lack of a CIV. they replaced my units old A2s back in 2014, although I got the distinct impression that they were not brand new just refurbished.

[@joaquinandreu8530]

You can't compare a 90's IFV with a 2010's one. As the Chieftain said, there is an upgrade on the works.

[@tonymirarchi]

The M-1911 A1 is the perfect design. So I found a metric caliber with high capacity. www.armscor.com/firearms/ria/rock-series/rock-ultra-fs-hc-10mm/ Enjoy.

I was Gunner/Loader on Leopard2A6/A6M+ and A7. Im not sure if Steal Best its worth it. Anyone experience?

[@RoninTF2011]

It is. The Leopards are modelled pretty well there. Also have a good community going with weekly battles going on sunday night...combined arms with tanks, armoured infantry, mortars, arty ...etc etc check: www.steelbeasts.com for a try...

First thing the Spanish should upgrade is an ATGM system, even if its something less impressive like the MILAN system as on the Marder. Not having that capability is honestly a little pityful.

[@alieu156]

This seems like a death trap. Lightly armoured and no blow-off panels means that if it gets hit, not only will it explode and kill the crew, but likely all the passengers as well. To top it off, it doesn't even have good firepower with only a 30mm autocannon and coaxial machinegun. No anti-tank missiles. Not very impressive.

[@joaquinandreu8530]

It's an IFV from the 90's. You may want to check the ASCOD 2 for how it has evolved.

[@RoninTF2011]

Some People still don't know that esp. for IFV insensitive ammo is a thing since the late 90's... :-P

[@alieu156]

@@RoninTF2011 To be honest I was trolling. I just find it funny how people always say that Soviet vehicles that don't have blow-off ammo panels are "death traps", but for some reason never apply the same standard to vehicles from other countries. The Pizarro actually looks like a pretty decent IFV, although it would be nice to have AT missiles. I suppose the infantry could carry missiles in the back and dismount to use them, so it's not the end of the world. :P
