It's look big for a classic 8x8 IFV Mr.T, if we take a remote turret and driver hatch as reference it's show pretty big size. RPG screens were almost always and ad on, improvisation in most cases, this one is design from the scratch as integral part. Probably removable but still it's not something that boys weld in forward workshop.
But what kind of transport you mean? Airborne, most of updated IFV after Iraq and Afgan missions are too heavy to be pack on to planes ( only the biggest heavy lifters can ride with them but not too many of that class planes out there ) to be wide in that situation is not a problem.
Well, someone can translate what sirokuma089 write? Google translate create some abomination without any sense for me. I only can deduce that this vehicle weight 20 tons and it;s build by Komatsu... or something, or even I get everything wrong.
Looks very interesting, integral RPG barrier design from the beginning as part of vehicle. Waiting for some more info.
ReplyDeleteI don't think ts really a heavy IFV (an more than typical 8x8) nor is the screen integral as vehicles with RPG screens are to wide for transport.
ReplyDelete写真の物は三菱重工MHIの部内開発によるもので防衛省が開発研究を発注したものではありません。
Delete防衛省は96式WAPCの後継として装輪装甲車(改)の試作を今年度より開始しておりますが
これはMHIにより既に社内開発が行われたものを評価試験するための試作であり
防衛省技術研究本部TRDIの主導により開発された96式WAPCとは手順が異ります。
この手順は機動戦闘車MCVも同じでありますがこれの意味する所はMHIが海外への輸出を意識し本省からの発注を待たずに社内研究開発を着々と進めているという事です。
しかもこれまではKOMATSUが占めてた装輪の戦闘車両の分野においてです。
これは全幅2.5ｍを超え重量20ｔを超える規模のAFVについては全てMHI製に切り替わる事を示していると言えます。
