Ghelp,

As requested ...


Dual Automatic Rifle - Proyect Peruvian Navy


Information posted by Fulcrum of Peru Defensa

The Dual Automatic Rifle (FAD - Fusil Automático Doble) designed by Salomón Braga Lozo of SIMA (Navy Industrial Service) is a proposal centered around the cartridge NATO 5.56x45mm that offers less recoil, less weight and volume while at the same time giving precision, adequate range and ergonomy that is to be coupled with a grenade launcher (40mm) in a single package.

The weapon design includes the advantages of the bullpup system, while trying to deal with the issues related to it.

Proposed Final Arrangement:

- "bullpup" configuration; being a compact weapon can be easily used by armor crews, as back-up weapon.

- Cartridge case similar to that of M-16. 30 cartridges 5.56x45mm. (STANAG 4179) inclined to 12º.
- Ejection Port to 45º allows the unobstructed ejection of cartridges.
- Rate fo fire of 550 shots per minute with an effective range of 600 mts.
- 40mm grenade launcher with pump-action reload mechanism.
- Standar sight,manually regulated.
- Rail Coupling Picatinny type for the instalation of Optical lens.
- semi-automatic and automatic firing modes.
- Use of lightweight materials will alow a further weight reduction from current 4.8kg to 3.6kg.

Rosoboronexport Public Presentation:

...Explained the reason while the munition depot is located at the bottom of the chassis. According to their research, during most of the colficts, tanks have been impacted two out of three times in the turret, hence,making a low volume turret is of prime importance. Also highlighted the ease of field maintanability of the T-90S. Went on to add that Russian designers consider a mistake the western concept of locating the munition on the rear section of the turret surrounded by thinner armor (than the rest of the tank) that project explosions upwards. Test made by Russians show that penetration is possible with 30mm (even 14.5mm) armor piercing rounds in those sections. The survavility of the crew after such an explosion - even directed upwards - is highly unlikely, and even if they do survive, the crew is out of action for the rest of the conflict, making them an effective casualty. Finally stated that the T-90S autoloader allows a rate of fire of 6 to 8 projectiles per minute, reduce crew to three (in an easier to field-mantain tank) adn reduce the Silhouette and weight of the vehicle.

HCV,

KVLG,

mmmmm....afraid you will have to try and see what happens. They are not the southern-bad-witch or something like that. At least, not yet.

Sicoseado and CarlosC know about history, i've seen detailed explanations of XIX century weaponry (in spanish). CesarAugusto knows more about today's weapon systems, but he may know about 1970s small arms since a lot of them are still in service, you see. Besides that he is fluent in english and a very nice person.

SUT is chilean, i think he works for the Chilean Navy, so if he doesn't know, he may have a library to back him up. And he is one of the nicest persons you will ever find. Chile is his love, so he is one of the most biased persons i've ever 'talked' to, honestly.

Sorry i can't help you any further, my small non-profit website ( www.batallonzepita.com ) keeps me busy. About to break the 30,000 visitors a month milestone.

Saludos,

I registered to Foro Miltar General, and SAORBATS. I didn't get a mail yet from SOARBATS, but I got one from Foro. I'm currently on right now, but when I try to post a new thread, it says the following:

"Disculpe, pero para poder abrir un nuevo tema Usted debe haber posteado un minimo de 10 mensajes. Revise los temas ya existentes, puede que ya exista el tema que quiere abrir"

Am I doing something wrong?

[pedro_rafael]

It seems that the Administrator(s) of Foro Militar General has established a minimum of 10 posts to open a new thread. Went on to advise to look for similar/identical threads to the one you want to open.

Your best option here is to send an MP (Mensaje Privado=Private Message) to Rey Tuerto.

Please note that i do not know the guy (he seems very,very nice but you never know until you know, i think), never 'talked', and he - along others - may think that i'm crazy for posting mostly-alone here and there. I've been raised in a Navy family they taught me to do my things by-myself since 5. Sorry for the disclaimer.

If that fails - he may be english-null, you can kiss a little (only a little, nothing to hurt your self-esteem, i guess) Spanish, Ecuadorian, Chilean butt for like 10 posts, nothing serious, and then open your thread, smoothly. They will probalby return the favor and then you will be positioned for your thread.

That may be your best option. SUT sometimes go visit Foro Militar General.

Saludos,


PS1: Hope i didn't press any wrong button here.

PS2: If you want, you can keep me posted via PM.

Have I been doing something wrong, Pedro?

Never mind, I think I've got it.

New Army Recon Tubular:

Puma




Shown at SITDEF 2007. The Gunner postion appears to need further work and AT missiles wouldnt hurt, somewhere in there.

Replicate the BM-21, wouldn't be bad idea either. Basically a truck with a giratory turret-for-rockets (rocket launchers).


Video of T-90 - The Lycans ...

Hope it is not a repost.

Is this new Recon vehicle made in Peru?
I can read a brand name there. Is that made by Peruvian armed forces?

Best,

[pedro_rafael]

I guess Leadership,

Could you hold it, i'm sending an email to my humble lawyer cause there is this Chilean in YOUTu (Peru and Pedro Rafael basher) that appearantly wants to get sued. He and a friend of his had even threatened to kill me.

Already explained him that i have his email in writing, but it seems that he thinks that i'm kidding around, or that he is doing some kind of favor to me.

Anyway. Talk to you later.

[pedro_rafael]

Howdy,

I'll talk to my pillow, and then, probably will go to my lawyer. He is going to laugh very hard when he sees the messages. Probably laugh at me, for wasting his time. I mean, even King Leonidas is a Wuuss right next to him. No way of reasoning with the kid. 20 years old and living in the USA.

Anyway,

The PUMA tubular, appearantly, is a creation of the Peruvian Army. The logo PUMA is the name of the vehicle. You can find those letters anywhere inLima.

The vehicle is looking good, however, the gunner postiion is a little off, there is no fire-support weapons (like Malyutka Missiles, that btw ""can"" destroy anything from a Leopard 1V to Fuel Trucks, the problem with the missiles is the need to joystick the missile to the target, i think).

A little too much plastic-fiber. And it is looking a little too good.

As a comparison, here you can see a competing model VATT Lobo:

YOu can see that the vehicle is not a looker - it was supposed to be replaced by a further evolution - but it has AT Missiles, albeit from the 70s, but still viable, and gives volume of fire at a bargain price tag.

We'll see what is the final decision of the Army later on.

... And replicating the BM-21 is not a bad idea.

Truly yours,

Pedro,

The Army held last sunday a tactical exercise involving 47 T-55s and several other armored and army aviation units.

The highlight of the Exercise was the presentation of this little piece of artillery:

Seems to be a Missile similar to a Scud.

Not sure if it is fake (used as decoy) or real. Attendees say it looks very real.
