Не понял, что это это значит в данном контексте? Типа эта непонятная чешуя помогает от всего... от сглаза, от поноса, от несчастной любви?
Ну да. Камуфляж маскирует в видимом диапазоне, а ячейки - в ИК.Не понял, что это это значит в данном контексте? Типа эта непонятная чешуя помогает от всего... от сглаза, от поноса, от несчастной любви?

Т.е. вариант с 120-мм пушкой на той же базе, что и перспективная БМП с 50-мм пушкой и десантом в 6 чел.The hull is descended from the British Army’s Ajax vehicle, but there’ve been extensive changes both visible and internal. The previous Griffin was a pure tank — offered for the Army’s Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) program — without any passenger capacity. This version, while similar in weight, scales down the main gun from 120 mm to 50, while adding room for six fully equipped infantry in back.
GD is pushing a variant of its MPF offering, the Griffin, for a much larger Army competition: the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV), meant to replace thousands of M2 Bradleys, the Army’s heavily armed and armored troop carrier. (Griffin III is the OMFV version, Griffin II the MPF). Buying variants of the same vehicle for both missions would simplify Army training and logistics.

The Mobile Protected Firepower vehicle is essentially a 30-ton light tank to accompany airborne troops and other light infantry...
...
MPF is not required to be droppable by parachute the way the Sheridan and the original Armored Gun System were, nor capable of fitting on an Air Force C-130 turboprop transport the way the cancelled Future Combat Systems vehicle was supposed to be. But it is small enough to fit two on a C-17 jet transport for landing on a dirt airstrip
Next-Generation Combat Vehicle Cross-Functional Team, which oversees all the Army’s new armored vehicles. Starting with the most near-term and ready-to-build, then going to the ones that are (in all senses) the furthest out there, these are
- the AMPV utility vehicle now entering production, which is basically a turretless Bradley;
- the MPF light tank, for which both BAE and GDLS are offering evolutions of existing vehicles;
- the OMFV Bradley replacement, also to be evolved from current vehicles;
- the ambitious Robotic Combat Vehicle, an all-new design;
- and a potential long-term replacement for the M1 Abrams, which might be something entirely unlike a modern tank.
Они и так выпускают и будут выпускать шасси Брэдли.
Так я и говорю - "школа разработки наземной техники" остается (за счет САУ и БТР).т.е. GD будет пихать гриффин, а брэдли пока превращается в БТР
Чем проще - тем всегда лучше. Возможно, машинку удалось облегчить, а подвеску - усилить. Но, скорее всего, дело в том, что заказчик хочет, чтобы в С-17 влазили 2 машины, т.е. габарит ограничен.Странно, что GD в Гриффине использует шесть пар катков вместо опробованных семи ASCODовских. Зачем разунифицироваться?
не солидно как-то для сверхдержабыТак я и говорю - "школа разработки наземной техники" остается (за счет САУ и БТР).
На главное нет ответа, можно ли спать в миздарон ахори!Рампа для эвакуации наше все. ?
При чем здесь мы? Шасси европейское, от БМП выбрал покупатель. Кстати новый американский лёгкий танк на том же шасси.Рампа для эвакуации наше все. ?
