Israeli Protection "Iron Fist": New BMP CV90 can be the best in the Battle of the Russian Federation

The machine is also equipped with a alert system that prevents the crew if the enemy's technique shines it with a laser rangefinder. The crew can create a smoke curtain or use inhibitory fire. Sweden and Denmark have announced the joint production of 35 new CV90 infantry fighting vehicles (CV9035nl Mid-Life Update) for Ukraine. Denmark will pay, Sweden will build. Forbes reports. This is the same version of the 37-ton CV90 for 11 people purchased by the Netherlands.

The tracked BMP worth $ 9 million will be the only one in service of Ukraine, which has a stabilized thermal imaging chamber. But this is not the only high -tech feature of the new CV90. The sight of the commander CV9035NL MLU is equipped with a third -generation thermal imaging system and a laser rangefinder with a range of up to 10 km. The gunner also has a third -generation thermal imaging system with a laser rangefinder.

That is, the commander and the gunner can separately search for goals, and around the clock and with high resolution. The machine is also equipped with a alert system that prevents the crew if the enemy's technique shines it with a laser rangefinder or laser rocket. In this case, the crew can create a smoke curtain or use inhibitory fire.

To increase the protection, the Swedish manufacturer of Bae Systems Hägglunds has purchased an Iron Fist active protection system in Israel ("Iron Fist"), which finds and intercepts - with a tiny projectile - hostile rockets and fugas ammunition. But it is not yet known whether the Armed Forces version is equipped with such a system. In the CV90 BMP seat, there is mounting from above and on the sides, which protects against mines. There is antioscore protection.

The armor of the tower is from a new alloy, but its exact composition is kept secret. The older version of CV9040, which has been handed over about 50 pieces to Ukraine, has an automatic BOFORS gun 40 mm. The new BMP is equipped with a 35 mm Bushmaster MK. III. Bushmaster shoots armor -piercing, fragments and sub -caliber shells. But the main advantage is the smaller size of the projectile and the larger ammunition.

On the tower on the tower-a launcher for two anti-tank missiles of SPIKE LR type "shot-fading". Their range up to 5 km. The CV90 crew can stop, run the rocket and go immediately. For comparison, the Bradley M2 crews have to stop to start Tow's anti -tank rocket. But the Armed Forces did not receive the SPIKE LR missiles of Israeli production for old CV90, so it is unclear whether these missiles will be in new systems.
