Yesterday, 07:47
In recent months, in promotional materials Ukrainian defense industry from time to time there is an interesting armored car. This SIBMAS Belgian armored turret with CMI Defence LCTS90. Ukrainian participation in this project is to design and manufacture of guided weapons. Fighting module LCTS90 can use anti-tank guided missiles Falarick 90 developed Kyiv Design Bureau "Luch". It is in this missile advertising concern "Ukroboronprom" uses photos and videos with the armored vehicle based on the Belgian development. For example, in late May, was published the next movie, which depicted the rocket launches "Falarik-90" gun barrel launcher tower LCTS90.

The first reports of the arrival of armored SIBMAS one of the Ukrainian factories appeared last spring. As follows from the information available, further experts from Belgium and Ukraine held a series of testing, the purpose of which was another test applied technical solutions. One of the results of these tests have become pictures and videos published for promotional purposes.



Basic component test armored vehicles BTR SIBMAS, is old enough development Belgian industry. The project was created SIBMAS company's employees BN Constructions Ferrovaireset Metalliques in the mid seventies. Prototype testing machine SIBMAS on Belgian landfill started in 1976, and several years later his interest in the armored personnel carrier Malaysia showed. According to test results in 1981 Malaysian Army ordered almost two hundred Belgian machines, some of which is still in formation.

BTR SIBMAS wheeled armored vehicle is designed to transport soldiers and fire support. The machine has a hull of protecting the crew and units of armor-piercing bullets to 7.62 mm caliber. A characteristic feature of armored glazing is the workplace of the driver. The driver is located on the longitudinal axis of the machine and to monitor the road has a relatively large "chopping" with large areas of glass. Apparently, the idea of ​​such glazing Belgian designers "assembled" in South African colleagues have developed BTR Ratel.

In front of the case BTR SIBMAS taken the driver's workplace. The middle part is occupied by the fighting and troop compartment. Doors for embarking and disembarking soldiers are in the middle of the sides and the rear plate. The driver can also use your own sunroof. Engine and transmission units part located in the rear of the hull, with a shift to the left side. This arrangement of the engine compartment allowed to leave starboard small passage leading to the rear door. The troop compartment accommodates 9 people with weapons. Six located in the middle part of the body to the sides of the face, three on two rows of seats. Another three seats are in the aisle to the rear doors. At the sides and doors are provided vision devices and installations for firing personal weapons.

Armored personnel carriers equipped with six-cylinder diesel SIBMAS turbocharged engine MAN D-2566 capacity of 320 hp With a maximum combat weight of the machine is not more 17,5-18 tons engine can provide power density at 18-19,5 hp per tonne. The diesel engine is installed in the housing with the possibility of quick change. According to the manufacturer, two technicians, using a light crane can carry out all the operations of the motor is changed in just 30 minutes. To facilitate work in the roof of the housing on the engine there is a large hatch allowing access to any part of the engine compartment.

Transmission with six-speed automatic gearbox distributes engine torque to all six wheels of the machine. With such an APC chassis capable of speeds up to highway 100 km / h For the movement of water in the stern of the hull there are two propellers. Maximum machine speed on the water - 11 km / h Volume of fuel tanks allows BTR SIBMAS overcome 1,000 km on one tank.

SIBMAS armored turret can be used to set various combat units. By car, testing at landfills Ukrainian, was installed tower Cockerill LCTS90 Belgian development. This combat unit was established in the mid-nineties and is intended for weapons of various armored vehicles of the middle class. It can carry almost any armored vehicle with a suitable ring diameter. Combat unit is equipped with all the necessary equipment to detect and attack targets.

Inside the body of the tower with anti-bullet armor jobs located two crew members, equipped with all necessary appliances. Gunner and commander of a combat vehicle observational instruments and scopes. So Gunner has a day and a night channel, and is also equipped with a laser rangefinder and stabilization system. Weapon control system allows you to retrieve data from existing instrumentation and develop amendments to fire, including firing on the move and at moving targets.

The main weapon is a tower LCTS90 rifled gun Cockerill Mk 8 90 mm caliber with a barrel length of 48.5 calibers (4,365 m). It is argued that this weapon in their efficiency exceeds 105 mm tank guns old models and allows you to fight with medium tanks, created decades ago. The gun is equipped with a single-chamber muzzle brake and ejector. To improve the performance of the bore has rifling with varying steepness of 6 ° in the breech to 9 ° at the muzzle. The range of ammunition guns Mk 8 includes five types of missiles, including high-explosive and armor-piercing. Maximum range of fire when using high-explosive shells can reach 7.8 kilometers (elevation angle of the barrel 20 °), but in this case the attack is possible only target area.

As an additional weapon in the tower Cockerill LCTS90 used two machine guns. One of them, 7.62, paired with a gun. The second proposed mounted on the turret roof and used as the zenith. According to customer's request, can be mounted anti-aircraft installation with heavy weapons. Additionally, the tower provides space for two Quadruple smoke grenade.

At the end of the two thousandth's Belgian company CMI Defence appealed to Ukrainian colleagues GSKTB "Ray" (Kiev) to develop an anti-missile system to equip its promising technology. Since the project began Falarick, which resulted in the emergence of two missiles with different characteristics and control equipment for them. Tower LCTS90, seen mounted on an armored personnel carrier on the Ukrainian landfills SIBMAS, has the ability to use guided missiles Falarick in option for 90-mm guns, launchers.

Guided missile has a body diameter of 90 mm and a length of about 1 meter. Weight munition ready for use - about 20 kg. Guided missile Falarick 90 created simultaneously with Falarick 105, causing both design products used common ideas and components. Rocket Falarick 90 is intended to run from guns Cockerill Mk 8, which affected her appearance. For premises in gun barrel launcher rocket wings and rudders made folding. Prior to the start of these parts are pressed against the surface of the housing to be disclosed after the rocket leaves the gun barrel.

According to reports, anti-tank missiles capable of hitting 90 Falarick moving and stationary targets at a distance of 4 kilometers. Flying at maximum range takes 14 seconds. The missile carries a tandem HEAT warhead, which allegedly can penetrate 500 mm of armor behind ERA.



When creating a new Ukrainian rocket designers have taken into account the Soviet experience in building such systems. To improve the efficiency of the rocket family Falarick use semiautomatic guidance by a laser beam. In the tail of the rocket has a special lamp, which allows light automation missile system placed on combat vehicle, to determine the position of the munition in flight. Beside the lamp is laser detector that monitors the control beam. Principle of operation guidance system is as follows: the gunner keeps goal in the crosshairs, and automation installed in the tower LCTS90, monitors and adjusts the position of the missile trajectory of its flight by a laser beam.

The advantages of such guidance systems include good accuracy results, and high noise immunity as a narrow control laser beam strikes the photodetector in the tail of the rocket. As a consequence, in most cases, the opponent will not be able to suppress the control beam and disrupt missile guidance. Such guidance by a laser beam used in several Soviet and Russian anti-tank missile systems. A few years ago, such a system could create and Ukrainian designers.

Belgian gunsmiths positioning their combat module LCTS90 as a universal remedy for various armored vehicles, which have to fight with tanks obsolete models. Features gun Cockerill Mk 8 is such that it can penetrate the armor of tanks T-55 or M60. As a consequence, it is equipped with an instrument or its combat units may be of interest to developing countries who wish to renew the fleet of military equipment, but it does not need the means to fight the enemy with modern machines. The main market for weapon stations firm CMI Defence with 90-mm guns are South America, Africa and part of Asia.

Using a combat unit complex guided weapons with missiles fired through the barrel of a gun, can significantly improve its performance, but also affect the attractiveness to potential customers. Thus, an armored personnel carrier with a tower SIBMAS CMI Defence LCTS90 and missiles Falarick 90 may be interested in some foreign countries. However, information about orders for such equipment is not yet available. Perhaps potential buyers stops old base car, which no longer satisfies a number of modern requirements, although they may be ordered only combat modules and install them on existing or desired technique.





Anyway, while BTR SIBMAS Belgian tower and Ukrainian missiles exists only in the form of several prototypes, at least one of which last year fell to Ukraine. Further prospects of this joint project is not yet completely clear.
