Airborne Orphan Edition
> What's this thread about?
As usual this thread is for the discussion and pics of tracked and wheeled AFVs of all kinds from MBTs to supertanks to self propelled AA guns. Please keep it civil and cite sources for statistics.
A successor the BMP-2 was inevitable. However, the BMP-3’s origins came out of a series of rather serendipitous accidents. During the 1970s, the VDV had requested a new air transportable vehicle to replace the aging ASU-85, while concurrently, the Army was seeking a scout replacement for the PT-76. Two vehicles, the 685 (from the BMP bureau) and 934 (from the BMD bureau) emerged to fulfil these requirements respectively. Unfortunately, cheaper, retrofitted variants of the BMP and BMD were selected for both categories, and thus these prototypes fell by the wayside. Nevertheless, in the late 1970s, the Army expressed an interest in a new generation IFV, resulting in the 688 from Kurgan in 1981, incorporating the 685’s chassis and the BMP-2’s armament. The 30 mm in question was rejected outright, as it offered no advantages over its predecessor. A new 2K23 100 system was therefore devised in Tula to be mounted on the BMP-2 turret. It sported a 100 mm 2A70 rifled gun with a 2A72 30 mm autocannon, a coaxial PKT, and an FCS and autoloader to match, along with special rammers for gun launched ATGMs. In 1986, the 688 was accepted into service, and became the BMP-3. High costs, its teething issues in Siberian testing, and the later collapse of the Soviet Union, meant only 35 were integrated into European Russian units by 1992, mostly with military training academies. Today, it is undergoing somewhat of a resurgence, as hundreds are being built until the Kurganets-25 completes its development cycle.

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated. (1/2)
In western circles, there is an ongoing debate about the BMP-3’s development and its original intentions. The BMP-3 itself did not differ exceptionally from the BMP-2, or at least, not to the extent one may have expected from a new generation of IFV. Armour protection was similar, with differences being the usage of aluminum components and an extra layer of applique armour added to the front to protect against autocannons - although ERA and modular upgrade packages would be developed for the BMP-3 later in its life cycle. Neither was the BMP-3’s internals radically different; night vision remained more or less identical to the BMP-2; exports to the UAE in 1993 utilised French sights. The salient difference, of course, was the weapons suite, which would have probably offered more firepower than most tanks in the early Cold War. These details led to the question of whether the BMP-3 was intended as a comprehensive replacement to the BMP-2, or an evolutionary specialisation to supplement the BMP-2. The BMP-3’s emphasis on raw firepower over conventional IFV aspects such as armour or features for accommodation of infantry obfuscated the answer further. The addition of the turret with the 2K23 led to a very unorthodox interior arrangement, with the chief result being dismounting became even more difficult, as two sets of rear doors had to be overcome to exit, while two machinegunners sit awkwardly in the hull front on either side of the driver. A large part of this was due to the rear mounted engine, in contrast to the BMP-2/1, a response to imbalances in distribution of weight in the previous vehicles, sacrificing protection for infantry and adding to awkward interior arrangements.

(2/2)
The dual gun system’s absurdly outsize nature was highlighted further in Siberian weapons trials, as repeated firing and recoil led to cracks in the trunnions. Did the engineers disregard traditional dismount considerations while craving firepower? Was it intended as a fire support vehicle and its transportation became incidental during development? Was it simply a case of mismanagement and too many roles taken on at once? One theory that has been put forward is that the Soviets were going for the Bronegruppa tactic, in which BMPs were used for missions without dismounts, in operations usually forming a mobile reserve that can act in lieu of tanks while the displaced infantry emplace themselves in defensive positions. All in all, the BMP-3’s armament is a highly lethal demonstration of versatile firepower on Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Nevertheless, it appears that a substantial amount of concessions had to be made instead. Only modest improvements in mobility and armour, and a possible regression in the practical level of protection offered to riflemen within, characterise the BMP-3. Less relevant now, but certainly relevant at the time of its service, was its cost, the base alone being at least twice that of the BMP-2, and its ammunition being proportionally more expensive as well – these accumulating costs forming a dangerous background to the BMP-3’s service and maintenance in the transition period from the USSR to the Russian Federation.

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I’ll further elaborate and provide links.
Rheinmetall has unveiled its new Lynx IFV at Eurosatory, apparently aimed at the Australian market. This is occurring at a time where Rheinmetall’s Boxer 8x8 is still undergoing evaluation by the Australian military for its Land 400 procurement programme.
Rheinmetall has also lifted the lid on its new L/51 130 mm tank gun at Eurosatory. After exhibition, it will be taken to a proving ground for fire demonstration. Features include a breech vertical sliding mechanism, increased chamber volume and chrome lining, and a new tungsten sabot is expected to be developed in parallel, with the HE ABM (air-bursting munition).
France and Germany via its respective enterprises Nexter and KMW have engaged in talks for the proposition of a new next generation artillery vehicle. The time frame given is for the project to be launched between 2025 and 2030, and it is hoped this will boost interoperability amongst Franco-German forces.
The French Army’s Scorpion modernisation programme is faltering as military authorities is lobbying the government for an additional 5 billion Euros in funds to adequately finance all its projects. Said projects include a Leclerc modernisation, Griffon multirole carrier, the Jaguar and ongoing maintenance.
GDELS-Santa Barbara has shown off its artillery observation variant of the Pizarro tracked IFV. The Pizarro is equipped with a sophisticated sensor array and rangefinder, which can feed back details to artillery in the field for rapid engagement.
The UK’s Challenger 2 Life Extension Programme is now accepting contenders, with names like BAE, General Dynamics and CMI/Ricardo in the ring. The deal would involve 227 MBTs being upgraded to last until 2035.
And that’s all for now.
CONCEALED CARRY THREAD
/k/, why do so many of you feel the need to carry a gun with you all the time? I'm curious to hear your arguments for doing so.
Also, have you ever had to use your CC? And what would you recommend for CCing?

This thread gets slow sometimes. The last one went for 3 days, that's why OP put it in there.
Why are European military berets always trim, well-shaped and professional-looking, while American berets are always outsized, floppy, and sloppy-looking?
And where can I get a line on some quality Euro berets, so my uniform looks STRAC?
For some reason ours have that massive ugly patch on them instead of a neat metal badge
>implying they actually are
Because Americans wear their uniforms for more than just ceremonies and EU rimjobs.

Good luck, they're hard to find now. I couldn't believe it when I saw the price, especially since it included the top rail. It's a great gun though and I really hope FB Radom manages to get through the ATF's bullshit.

How was your bullet guide intalled on your Saiga ?
"why did nobody answer my question?" edition
so, as a member of a country who is a part of the "visa waiver program", I´m allowed to buy a gun in the US?
I´m reffering to this text from the ATF
> https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/does-prohibition-receipt-and-possession-firearms-and-ammunition-aliens-nonimmigrant-visa
my second question is, if I´m a nonimmigrant alien (student) with a nonimmi-visa (student visa "type F") my only chance to own a firearm is by applying for a hunting license
BUT
if I´m from a country taking part in the VWP (see above) there is a special rule which I do not understand
here is the text I´m reffering to
> https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/can-nonimmigrant-alien-obtain-waiver-prohibition-shipping-transporting-receiving-or
> "Yes. An individual may apply to ATF for a waiver. [18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B) and 922(y)(3); 27 CFR 478.11 and 478.32]"
I´m a bit confused now
from my understanding
> go to visit the US for 90 days
> VWP country
> go inna gunshop
> buy fun
> go study abroad in the US
> get hunting license
> go buy funs
> go study abroad in the US
> come from VWP country
> apply for waiver
> go inna funshop and buy stuff
pls help

Early reports:
- The Great North Aleppo Ping Pong Tournament continues, as the Rebels recaptured two villages Ahmadiyah and Tell Battal, still heading towards Tall Ahmar, while ISIS regained hazal, Dudiyan and Yani Yaban. The Rebels and ISIS fighters have totally lost the control over their lifes, over there.
- On East Ghouta, according to SOHR; "SAA regain all points which lost yesterday in farms of Janath Harash & Maliha in Eastern Ghouta". The pro SAA source, Hassan, aslo commented that Rebels have "reportedly fired 'toxic materials' onto an SAA position" in East Ghouta region.
- In Latakia, reports are saying that the SAA is still advancing in the Turkmen moutains, near the Turikish border, making some gains.A wild twitter account that i never seen/used before is commenting that: "Strange things happening in Latakia, Turkish army has closed lots of army posts & moved trucks&buses used for reinforcements", "Turkmen accounts are speaking of treason from political & army officials. As a result "rebels" are mass-retreating in Latakia", "Things are getting worse for "rebels" in Latakia's Kurdish mountains: militants attempted to escape to Turkey which denied them entrance". Dunno if it is trustworthy;

- In the Manbij area, the SDF/YPG have retaken some positions lost to ISIS in the last days, west of the city. The Manbij Militar Council also announced that the operation to storm the city itself will start in the following days.
- In the Syrian deserts that borders Iraq, reports that the Ruaf or Syaaf have hit New Syrian Army positions in al-Tanf, border cross city in rif-Damascus, killing or wounding some of their member. The NSA sources confirm this. Also on this topic, unconfirmed reports that the NSA will wage an insurgency operation against ISIS in Deir ez zor.
And to finish up; the PMU official sources, trust it or not, are saying that they have reached the Government Council building, in the centre of the city. In last days, the Iraqi forces have declared that they have been advancing inside the city from south and north. 5 Stars was covering the Fallujah battle more tham me, and I know too little of all details to give my opinion.
