El BMP-3 es un vehículo de combate de infantería soviético y ruso , sucesor del BMP-1 y BMP-2 . La abreviatura BMP significa boevaya mashina pehoty ( боевая машина пехоты , literalmente "vehículo de combate de infantería"). [3] [4] [5]

Historial de producción [ editar ]

El diseño de la BMP-3 o Obyekt 688m se remonta a la Obyekt prototipo tanque de luz 685 con una pistola de 2A48-1 100 mm de 1975. [6] El prototipo no entró en la producción en serie, pero el chasis, con una nueva motor, se utilizó para el vehículo de combate de infantería de próxima generación Obyekt 688 [7] de la oficina de diseño de A. Blagonravov . El Ob. Configuración arma original del 688 que consiste en un montado externamente Shipunov 2A42 30 mm cañón automático , una ametralladora PKT de 7,62 mm y doble 9M113 Konkurs ATGMlanzador fue rechazado; en su lugar, se seleccionó el nuevo sistema de armamento 2K23. El BMP-3 resultante se desarrolló a principios de la década de 1980 y entró en servicio oficialmente con el ejército soviético en 1987. Se mostró por primera vez en público durante el desfile del Día de la Victoria de 1990 y recibió el código de la OTAN IFV M1990 / 1 . [ cita requerida ]

El BMP-3 está diseñado y producido por Kurganmashzavod ("Planta de construcción de máquinas Kurgan"), sin embargo, algunas variantes son construidas por la Planta de construcción de máquinas de Rubtsovsk (RMZ), por ejemplo, la BRM-3K. [8]

En mayo de 2015, el Ministerio de Defensa ruso firmó un contrato de tres años para recibir "cientos" de vehículos BMP-3 para mantener su fuerza de vehículos blindados hasta que su reemplazo, el Kurganets-25 , complete la investigación y el desarrollo. En el proceso de producción en serie del BMP, el diseño del vehículo se sometió a 1.500 modificaciones. [9] El contrato se ejecutó en su totalidad en 2017. [10] [11] Se recibieron 200 más en 2018-2019 y 168 más en producción que se entregarán en 2020-2021 con protección adicional. [12] [13]

En el programa Army-2017, el Ministerio de Defensa ruso firmó un contrato que cubre las primeras entregas de un número no especificado de vehículos de combate de infantería (IFV) BMP-3 equipados con la torreta Bumerang-BM . [14]

Armamento y óptica [ editar ]

El BMP-3 es uno de los vehículos de combate de infantería más fuertemente armados en servicio, la versión original del BMP-3 tiene una torreta equipada con un cañón estriado de 100 mm 2A70 de baja velocidad, que puede disparar proyectiles convencionales o ATGM 9M117 Bastion ( AT- 10 Stabber ). Se transportan 40 rondas de 100 mm y 8 ATGM. A 2A72 30 mm de doble alimentación cañón automático con 500 (300 HEI y 200 APT) rondas y una tasa de fuego de 350 a 400 RPM, y un 7,62 mm PKT ametralladora con 2.000 rondas, todos montados coaxialmente en la torreta. El cañón principal se eleva de −5 ° a + 60 °. [17] También hay dos ametralladoras de arco PKT de 7,62 mm, nuevamente con 2,000 rondas cada una. El BMP-3 es capaz de atacar objetivos de 5.000 a 6.000 metros con su sistema de armas ATGM 9K116-3 "Basnya". Con munición convencional, tal como el HE-Frag shell 3OF32, la pistola 2A70 tiene un alcance de 4.000 metros.

BMP-3 de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos con mira térmica "Namut"

Según el sitio web del fabricante, todas las armas se pueden disparar desde la parada, en movimiento y a flote con la misma eficacia. La capacidad de alcanzar objetivos en movimiento con misiles se demostró con éxito durante evaluaciones competitivas en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos en 1991. [18]

La torreta está equipada con el sistema 2K23, que consta de un cargador automático con 22 cartuchos (los 18 cartuchos restantes se almacenan en el casco), una computadora balística 1V539, un sensor de viento cruzado, un sistema estabilizador 2E52-2, un 1D16- 3 telémetro láser, un visor / dispositivo de guía de artillero 1K13-2, un visor de artillero PPB-1 y un reflector de infrarrojos OU-5-1 . También está disponible el cargador automático opcional para misiles ATGM. El comandante tiene una mira óptica combinada 1PZ-10, un dispositivo de visión diurna / nocturna TKN-3MB y un reflector IR OU-3GA2. [6]Desde 2005, el BMP-3 puede equiparse con un nuevo sistema de control de incendios de la Sociedad Anónima "Peleng" de Bielorrusia. Consiste en la mira principal de un artillero SOZH-M con un telémetro láser integrado y un canal de guía de misiles, un sistema de orientación Vesna-K con cámara termográfica y rastreador automático de objetivos AST-B, un sistema de estabilización de armamento, una computadora balística con sensores de entrada de datos y un proyector láser IR PL-1. [19] [20] [21] Desde 2017, el BMP-3 está equipado con un nuevo sistema de control de incendios de la "Planta Óptica-Mecánica de Vologda" de Rusia. Consiste en una mira principal de artillero estabilizada de dos planos Sodema con un telémetro láser integrado y un canal de guía de misiles, además de una cámara de imagen térmica SOZH-M. [22]

El equipo estándar incluye cinco puertos de disparo con bloques de visión asociados, un transceptor R-173, un receptor R-173P, un detector de radiación y agentes químicos GO-27, un sistema de filtración FVU, un extintor automático y seis "Tucha-2" de 902V Lanzagranadas de humo de 81 mm.

BMP-3M está equipado con torreta Bakhcha-U, que tiene armas similares a la torreta BMP-3 original pero con una nueva mira de artillero FLIR de doble canal , dispositivo de imagen térmica panorámica del comandante, transportador de almacenamiento vertical, nuevo cargador automático y un nuevo sistema de avistamiento. También tiene un blindaje más fuerte en la torreta y estabilización de dos ejes. [4]

La torreta del BMP-3 se ha instalado en el vehículo modular blindado Patria y en el IFV turco-EAU RABDAN 8x8. [23] [24] [25]

En agosto de 2017, se presentó un BMP-3M con una nueva estación de armas remota ATGM instalada en la torreta estándar que transportaba dos misiles 9M120 Ataka (AT-9 Spiral-2). [26]

En junio de 2018, el Ministerio de Defensa ruso anunció que los BMP-3 estarían equipados con el módulo de combate AU-220M equipado con un cañón de 57 mm. El módulo puede transportar 80 rondas y disparar 80 rondas por minuto, incluyendo ráfagas de aire, alto explosivo, fragmentación, perforantes de blindaje y municiones guiadas con un alcance máximo de 14,5 km (9,0 millas), e incluso puede perforar el blindaje lateral de la batalla principal. tanques . [27] [28] [29]

Movilidad [ editar ]

El vehículo tiene un diseño poco convencional. El motor está en la parte trasera del vehículo a la derecha (a diferencia de la mayoría de los otros IFV, que tienen el motor ubicado hacia adelante en el casco). Como resultado, el conductor está sentado hacia adelante en el casco (en el centro) junto con dos soldados de infantería (uno a cada lado del conductor). El vehículo tiene doble fondo y el motor está ubicado debajo del piso del vehículo (las tropas entran / salen del vehículo por encima del motor). [30] Los cinco soldados de infantería restantes están sentados detrás de la torreta de dos hombres. [6]

Early models were powered by a 450 hp engine UTD-29, but most BMP-3s are now equipped with the 500 hp UTD-29M version. The engine was developed at the Transmash Diesel Engine Plant in Barnaul.[6] The BMP-3 has a range of 600 km, an altitude of operation of up to 3,000 m and it is transportable by train, truck, sea, and air. The BMP-3 engine is a diesel four-stroke, liquid-cooled design. The transmission is a four-speed hydromechanical power unit, with power takeoff to its water jets. The suspension is independent, with a torsion bar and six hydraulic shock absorbers. Steering is by gear differential with hydrostatic drive. The track adjusting mechanism is remotely controlled from the driver's station, with tension force indication. The water-jet propulsion unit is single-stage, axial, auger-type.[31]

Countermeasures[edit]

The hull and turret are made of a high-strength aluminum alloy, with the front of the hull being provided with an extra steel plate welded over it plus spaced armor from the trim vane. The turret is also provided with a thick steel spaced armour shield over its frontal arc. Over the frontal arc, the vehicle is protected against 30 mm gun rounds at a range of 200 m.[32] In addition to "hard" protection, the BMP-3's self-sealing fuel tank is located in front of the driver, directly behind the front armour plating. It is specially constructed to act as armour, effective against shaped charge warheads as well as any auto-cannon shells that managed to go through the front armour.

The BMP-3 can create a smoke screen by injecting fuel into the exhaust manifolds.[33][34] A chemical agent detector, an FVU filtration system, an automatic fire extinguisher and six 902V "Tucha-2" 81 mm smoke grenade launchers are standard.

At least two distinct sets of explosive reactive armour kit are currently available, giving the BMP-3 protection from less advanced rocket propelled grenades. One of them is the Kaktus ERA kit, which has a unique design that creates minimal acoustic and kinetic backlash to the armour behind it upon detonation, thus ensuring that the occupants will not be harmed by shockwaves from the ERA block. The ERA blocks will completely disintegrate after detonation. According to Kurganmashzavod, the BMP-3 may also be fitted with additional side armor tiles, which can resist .50 caliber armour-piercing ammunition perpendicularly at close ranges. They give the BMP-3 added side protection from autocannon fire as well.

The BMP-3 also has the ability to carry a Shtora-1 electro-optical jammer that disrupts semiautomatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) antitank guided missiles, laser rangefinders and target designators. Shtora is a soft-kill, or passive-countermeasure system.

Standard weight of the vehicle is 18.7 tonnes. If additional armour overlay (metal sheet of armour and Kaktus ERA) is installed, weight will reach to 22.2 tonnes. The body covered from the sides and the top. In such kit, it is protected against 12.7 mm machine gun rounds in the range of 100–200 m.[32]

The missiles are re-loaded automatically from an internal magazine with 15 rounds (missiles are stored and transported in sealed canisters) and can also accept munitions manually loaded from outside the vehicle. The manufacturer claims that three 9P157-2 tank destroyers are able to engage 14 attacking tanks and destroy at least sixty percent of the attacking force. The dual guidance system ensures protection against electronic countermeasures and operation in all climatic conditions, day or night. NBC protection is provided for the crew (gunner and driver) of each 9P157-2 in addition to full armour protection equivalent to the standard BMP-3 chassis and entrenching equipment.[57] The 9M123 missile itself is supersonic, flying at an average speed of 400 m/s (Mach 1.2) and a range of between 400 and 6,000 meters.[58] Entered service in 2005.[59] More than 10 sets of new anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) complexes "Khrizantema-S" on the crawler, which replaced the complexes "Shturm", entered the artillery units of the Southern Military District, based in Ingushetia, in November 2012.[60] Khrizantema vehicles are fielded with artillery units.[61]
  • 9P163M-1 "Kornet-T" – Anti-tank version with Kornet (AT-14) missile system. Some sources call it the 9P162. The Kornet is similar in function to the Khrizantema missile system. The 9P163M-1 carries two 9M133 missiles on launch rails, which are extended from a stowed position during transit. Missiles are re-loaded automatically by the tank destroyer from an internal magazine with 16 rounds (missiles are stored and transported in sealed canisters).[62] Nuclear, biological and chemical protection is provided for the two crew members (gunner and driver) in addition to full armour protection equivalent to the standard BMP-3 chassis. The guidance system of the 9P163M-1 allows two missiles to be fired at once, the missiles operating on different guidance (laser) channels. The first Kornet-T missile carriers were delivered in 2003 to replace the Shturm-S, and the first batch of 20 vehicles entered service in 2012. The Kornet-T is used by motorized units.[63]
