The last thread rusted in Afghanistan
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...

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...

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...

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?
SHALL
NOT
>>30314702
Surely you don't carry a lethal weapon on a daily basis just because you can? Why put that responsibility on yourself just for the sake of it?

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.

I would imagine anymore than say, $1100 is getting fucked, would you say? I see them pop up on akfiles now and then, but I'm hoping to stumble on onw locally one of these days.
