8 December. in Mechanical Works "BUMAR-ŁABĘDY" SA performed the first successful attempt to integrate the Polish Platform Anders Combat Infantry version of the car. This has been due to conversion (hitherto mounted on demonstratorze technology) tower with a gun in the caliber of 120 mm manufactured in Łabędy Hitfist tower with 30mm cannon.



" ANDERS version of the Combat Infantry Car is a new proposal for the Polish army. The army now has a nearly 30-year-old transporters. We are ready to take these cars and after upgrading to sell in foreign markets. Thus, to prepare a place for Anders as a modern-BWP. ANDERS trucks in this release could therefore to equip the Armed Forces to enter the two years since the integration of the prototype. Decisions on this are needed now, so that the project could be implemented in such a term. "said Czeslaw Freedom - President of the Mechanical Plant" BUMAR-ŁABĘDY SA



Tower Hitfist 30mm is mounted on the militant version Wolverines Wheeled armored personnel carriers. The tower is proven in combat missions in Afghanistan. Łabędy 213 towers have already provided to the wolverines. The company also conducts research and development of unmanned towers.



ANDERS as combat infantry will allow the car to transport the full - the landing of eight teams. It will also provide weight of the car and reducing its height.



Technology Demonstrator Polish Platform Battle ANDERS was first presented at the fair MSPO in September. The project was funded by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and developed by OBRUM Ltd.

Andres will be produced based on the technical and manufacturing Mechanical Plant "BUMAR-ŁABĘDY SA.

Its easier to use Lahat coz it can be fired directly from gun tube where Nag need modification on tank turret..

Also Nag is big and heavy we can have two outside of the turret like on BMP2, Once fired crew have to get out to reload another two..

Where Lahat can be stored many as 10 inside and can be fired from inside just like a shell..

Btw, DRDO already produced a Lahat variant which will be use on Arjun also Anders..

when we are going to get this new light tanks. we are to late in this field and we need this in our northen region specially in west and eastern region bordering china.also army has ordered less number of arjun tanks . it would hit our local industry

LOL hahhahahahhahaahhah

You are funny dude.....U are praying to God that India should buy this excellent piece of war machine, I appreciate your intent, however, when the top politicos of a state is moronic, vision-less and corrupt, I think even I will be forced in praying to god (in the near future) to get anything done (by looks of it, it will surely be a reality)!!

P.S: Its been 10yrs and we have not decided which MMRCA we would buy, on the other hand countries have developed new a/cs from scratch for their AFs and are flying them!! Just imagine the rot in our system!

Lets stay positive..

The anders seems to employ the merkava concept of having the engine in the front while having a door for crew/troops in the rear!beautiful beast though!

 

[shuvo@y2k10]

the most important think to learn from this jv for india is the unmanned turret which can be implemented in fmbt.

Yes, that would need collaboration between BEML & DRDO..

OT: What is the difference between APC and IFV?
Our BMP-2 is a APC or IFV? If BMP-2 is a IFV can we use this IFV variant to replace our BMP-2 ?

The APCs are battle taxis.

The IFV or ICV (Infantry Combat Vehicle) carry troops and are used for effective assault, as and when required as per the tactical plan.

The main difference would be in the armament/ which increases the 'staying power' (on the objective) and giving fire support when the troops are mopping up the objective, both in the mounted and dismounted assault role.

The primary weapon on most IFVs is an autocannon, usually of a calibre between 20–40 mm, although IFVs such as the BMP-3 carries a 100 mm gun/launcher. It is effective against a wide range of targets such as soft skinned and lightly armoured vehicles, infantry, helicopters and low-flying aircraft. It can fire several types of munitions, including high explosive, incendiary, and kinetic penetrator rounds.

The photos below will possibly help in understanding.

APC

IFV or ICV

can nag missile be fired from arjun 120mm gun similar to lahat atgm.also can the arjun gun be fitted to ficv similar to bmp-3?how good is the arjun gun compared to l-55?will the arjun gun be also upgraded in mk2 version?

No, Nag is too big ( 190mm )..
No, BMP-3 use a medium pressured 100mm cannon which is small and can be fitted in a small hull of BMP..

Arjun`s rifled Gun is very good and better than L44 and close to L55 in length, Can fire NATO rounds with modified sabot, as it can endure high chamber pressure, MK2 will be same as Arjunmk1 gun....

what is the weight of this light tank?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

what is the weight of this light tank?

The polish Version will be 35 t , Indian one may be modified for lighter weight..

 

[shuvo@y2k10]

if the weight is about 35 ton then it is similar to t-72 with 42 tons.how good is it's 120mm gun and armour compared to the same of arjun's?

Polish Gov is phasing out PT-91 and other T-72 models with Anders..

That`s Why, They intended to up-armored Anders to 40 tons..

Indian Anders will be as per Indian requirement..



Regarding Anders 120mm it will be not long as Arjun Gun but lighter and capable of using all nato-rounds where as Arjun cannot..

Why do we require Light Tanks?

They have no chance on the battlefield.

The only chance they have is in COIN, but would we use tanks in such a situation? Goes against the policy.
