Weird Russian Tank

Please ignore the caption(or don’t, it’s your choice) but, which/what Russian tank is this?

This is “Coalitia SV”, a 152mm Howitzer.
The recoil of one gun reload the other.
It was demostrated in 2006.
Some pictures:


This an Overkill

Thanks for the name, Sergej. Was this implimented as an active mobile artillery unit, or who has used/bought this?

I think this is only a protorype.

This thing must cause quite some damage! On the other hand imagining one sorry-ass dude with an RPG is able to blow it up!

Normally artillery is placed some kilometers behind the frontline.
At least in a symetrical conflict sorry-assed dudes souldn’t came
near enough to fire their RPG’s:mrgreen: And in asymetrical
conflicts artillery is quite useless.

Alright, THAT is just getting ridiculous. Looks like something out of a videogame.:roll: (but i love videogames)

I hope all of you know that the six-barreled is a fake.

Yup, the recoil fom the guns would make it move back too much too often to make it usefull.

I don’t know the name of it. In firing position it will be pushed into the earth,
like a bulldozer to hold the recoil.

Why not just back it up to a stack of rocks or another tank? :mrgreen:

Show me some symetrical conflicts these days…

Let’s hope we’ll never see one.
End of cold war doesn’t mean
no war between superpowers.
Maybe no global conflicts but
something like the sh*t we have
at Caucasus.

Right, Sergej. And as long as there are these conlicts like in the Caucasus -meaning one totally inferior party in both men and material- there will be guerilla warfare including sorry-ass dudes with RPGs. :slight_smile:

Not only todays equipment but evan today’s armys
are useless in this case. I can’t remeber any conflict
or war with guerillia tactics that was won by conventional
armys. I don’t see how you can win such war, all you can
do is surrender and run away: Vietnam, Soviet-Afghan war,
and that crap in Afghanistan and Iraq today.

I was told, in Russia some not-so-sorry-ass girls with RPGs were encountered lately!

Thanks god this is only show.
If such weapons get in the
hand people who don’t know
how to use…
WARNING GRAPHIC
That guy was an sorry-ass-dude.

Looks like a 105 or a 120mm gun not a 152mm. But could it be more then Artillary, maybe a new tank. I would not put it past the russians. fire once then twice now three and the tank is dead. Could that thing kill a m1a3 Abrams or a German Lepaord ( remeber Bad speller) tank?

To make a tank of this is a bad idea, it wheights 40 tons with 15mm armor.
If you increase it to MBT standart it would wheight 100 tons or more.
And it’s really big and that makes it to a good target. There were plans to
make an 152mm gun into a MBT but it wasn’t realized now.

This is PHOTO-montage , made probably with Photoshop, gentlemens:)
Don’t be a too naive here:)
This is absolutly sensless gun in spirit of GErmans “Uber-tank” like Mouse and ets:)
