Armored vehicle

The invention relates to an armored vehicle with a vehicle hull which serves as a weapon carrier Turret and has a caterpillar drive with individually suspended rollers.

The purpose of the invention is to make armored vehicles with a low silhouette usable for various combat missions do.

There are armored vehicles of small design known due to their small dimensions and relatively low weight the requirements for fast tactical missions, which, among other things, require air loading and throwing capabilities do, enough. However, these vehicles are so tailored to specific applications that they are used for other operations are not usable.

In contrast, the object of the invention is to create an armored vehicle that while largely safeguarding of the above requirements such as maneuverability and the like, with the same basic concept, both as a battle tank as well can be used as a tank destroyer.

This is achieved by the combination of the following features according to the invention: a) provided with pivotable ainem Bugschild vehicle hull is .werk against the Gleiskettenlauf- angeordnetι height adjustable b) generating pan the turret driving against a turret with another weapons

system interchangeable. One part of the The revolving turret containing the crew was equipped with weapons, the brackets of which were essentially outside the armored compartment are arranged. Furthermore, the bow shield, which covers the entire width of the bow chord, extends particularly well in the starting position essentially parallel to the sloping upper side of the front of the vehicle pan.

This creates a vehicle that, with the help of its liftable and lowerable vehicle pan and the Bugsehlld can quickly adapt to the respective terrain conditions by digging in, which can be air-loaded and ejected is and only by changing his weapon carrier (the so-called armored recovery vehicle also in far advanced Combat zones can be carried out) can be quickly adapted to any changing combat situations. Through this, that the weapon holders are outside the turret, this can be made extremely low, which is why there is only a small target area for the opponent.

FIG. 2 shows a side view of a further rotary turntable for the vehicle according to FIG. I ₃ and

Fig. 5 is a view of the front of the armored vehicle according to FIG. 1 with the bow shield removed.

The armored vehicle 1 consists of a vehicle compartment® 2 with an upper part 2 ¹ that covers the tracks 3 and into which a rotating tower 4 is inserted. The turret 4 takes with its cylindrical lower part .5 part of the crew

and contains the operating devices for the indicated optical system 6 with the periscope 7 and the weapon system 8, which is pivotably mounted in outer shield cheeks 9. The vehicle pan 2 contains a rear Engine IO for driving the chain wheels 11. At the bow, the vehicle pan 2 is provided with a bow shield 12 which extends in the starting position shown parallel to the inclined top side IJ of the tub, which in a Nose edge l4 runs out. The bow shield 12 is indicated by the Pivoting device 15 can be pivoted into a position in front of the vehicle by means of parallelogram links, in which it can be used as a scraper blade. Öie vehicle pan 2 is on both long sides with five castors l6 provided, which are cushioned in a known manner by means of torsion bar springs and guided by the indicated links 17. The handlebars I7 are with a common adjustment linkage l8 connected, by a hydraulic adjusting device of known type, not shown in detail, in the push-pull direction is operable. When adjusting the handlebars 17 * which trigger a raising or lowering of the vehicle pan 2, in order to compensate for the elongation of the chain, the chain idler wheels 19 are adjusted accordingly. The turret 4 with the weapon system 8 in the form of a long-range large-caliber cannon can be exchanged for a turret 4 '(Fig. 2), which is another Weapon system carries. The weapon system consists of a small-caliber high-performance cannon 20, which is in shield cheeks is stored and a missile carrier 22, the launch position is indicated by dash-dotted lines. The cylindrical lower part in turn takes on the crew and is through in detail Quick-release fasteners, not shown, can be connected to the rest of the on-board system of the armored vehicle.

A. Execution

The equipment of the armored vehicle after the Pig. I ent- < speaks to a vehicle for combat operations, i.e. for breaking through enemy bases (battle tank use), whereby In the starting positions, the vehicle is buried through the interaction of the vehicle pan that can be raised and lowered with the Bow shield can be carried out. As a result, the vehicle is against direct inspection as well as against heat and Sound location largely protected. After retrofitting with a tower according to FIG. 2, the vehicle can be used for tank hunting, the gun 20 for close range and missiles 22 for long range use.
