By Caudillo:

DSCA a anuntat recent aprobarea vanzarii de blindate pentru Romania :

“The Government of Romania has requested to buy fifty-four (54) M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams Main Battle Tanks; fifty-four (54) M1A1 Structures; four (4) M88A2 HERCULES Combat Recovery Vehicles; four (4) M1110 Joint Assault Bridges; four (4) M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicles; …”

… “four (4) Heavy Assault Scissor Bridges (HASB); fifty-four (54) M240C 7.62mm machine guns; ten (10) AGT1500 Gas Turbine engines; five thousand nine hundred forty (5,940) 120mm M1147 High Explosive, Multipurpose, Tracer (HEMP-T) cartridges; and four thousand two hundred thirty (4,230) 120mm M1002 Target Practice Multipurpose, Tracer (TPMP-T) cartridges. Also included are mine rollers; Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter (EHET) M1300 tractors with M1302 trailer with B-Kit/Frag Kit; Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT) M978A4 with B-Kit/Frag Kit; Tank Rack Modules (TRM) M107A1 fuel trailer (2500 gal) with B-Kit/Frag Kit; HEMTT A4 M1120 Load Handling System (LHS ) with B-Kit/Frag Kit; Ml076Al with flat rack and B-Kit/Frag Kit; Forward Repair Systems; trailer mounted generators; Common Remote Operated Weapons Station Low Profile (CROWS-LP); M2A1 .50 caliber machine guns; communications equipment; global positioning system (GPS) receivers; service and training ammunition; spare and repair parts; Special Tools and Test Equipment (STTE); technical manuals and publications; maintenance trainers; gunnery training systems; tank driver’s trainers; new equipment training; “

Pretul estimat de americani e de 2,53 mld USD, MApN a anuntat un pret de 1,07 mld USD. Daca ne uitam pe anuntul DSCA observam niste detalii, cum ar fi : nu apar in tranzactie proiectile sageata sau lipsa dotarii cu  Trophy.

Tancurile Abrams nu se mai fabrica de la 0 din 1996, se iau carcase din rezerva americana de  3-4000 de bucati si se aduc la versiunea dorita. Probabil ca tancurile pentru Romania se vor ansambla la uzina din Lima, uzina detinuta de guvernul american si manageriata de GDLS. Despre aceasta uzina Trump afirma ca daca nu ar fi fost el uzina ar fi fost inchisa, afirmatie contrazisa ulterior in presa americana.

Putina modestie nu strica nimanui

July 8th, 2019 admin

Asa cum se stie, Rheinmetall si KMW au castigat contractul pentru programul australian Land 400 Phase 2 cu IFV-ul/TBT Boxer.

Ce optimisti erau pe vremuri:

 

Australienii le-au cumparat blindatele insa nu chiar in echiparea la care s-ar fi asteptat germanii. De identificat diferentele:

 

Rheinmetall, printr-o alta colaborare, de data asta cu IBD, produce sistemul de protectie activa hard-kill ADS (cunoscut mai demult drept AMAP-ADS) pentru care are vise mari, mai precis de a fura ceva din piata dominata autoritar de Trophy si Iron Fist. E oarecum logic ca ADS sa aiba prima sansa pentru dotarea Boxerilor australieni, chiar si numai pe motiv de PCR (n-am gasit alta rima). Dupa cum se vede si mai sus, germanii l-au promovat intens.

Australienii insa n-au iertat nimic:

The Australian Defence Force has asked Rheinmetall Defence to evaluate Israel’s Iron Fist Active Protection System (APS) developed by Elbit Systems’ IMI. Brigadier Greg McGlone, Australian Army Director General, Armored Fighting Vehicles, broke the news at the International Armoured vehicles 2019 conference (#IAVevent) in London today. According to Brig. McGlone the evaluation will include only the Iron Fist as it was the only mature APS that meets the Boxer’s weight requirement (38.5-ton combat weight)
