130 mm self-propelled gun (Catapult)
Development/Description

As a result of the effectiveness of the Russian-supplied towed 130 mm Field Gun M-46 in the Indo-Pakistan conflicts, the Indian Army has mounted some on Vijayanta MBT chassis. The conversion is now in Indian Army service which has an inventory of about 2,200 Vijayanta MBTs and about 750 130 mm M-46 guns.
The gun has a range of 27,150 m and fires an HE projectile weighing 33.4 kg with a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s. It can also fire an APHE projectile weighing 33.6 kg, also at a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s, which can penetrate 230 mm of conventional steel armour at an incidence of 0є at a range of 1,000 m.
It would appear that the Vijayanta/130 mm M-46 combination can carry 30 rounds of ammunition. It is known to the Indian Army as `Catapult'.
The latest information available indicates that a total of 170 Catapult systems were built of which 100 are operational and the remainder are in reserve. Some have recently been observed fitted with a horizontal shield over the gun and crew compartments to provide protection against top attack weapons.

Status

Production complete. In service with the Indian Army. This is expected to be replaced by a new 155 mm/52 calibre self-propelled gun which has still to be selected. It could well be a mixture of tracked and wheeled systems.



Не в тему, но еще одна индусская бандура на основе Т-72 и южноафриканской 155-мм пушки.

New Indian 155 mm self-propelled artillery system
Apart from the locally produced 130 mm Catapult self-propelled gun covered in a separate entry the Indian Army does not have any modern self-propelled artillery systems in service.
The Indian Army has a requirement for up to 600 155 mm/52 calibre self-propelled artillery systems which would be based on the locally produced T-72M1 MBT chassis or, in the future, the new Arjun MBT chassis.
Early in 1995, four contenders were shortlisted for an extensive series of firepower and mobility trials in India, which were completed by July 1995.
The four systems tested on a locally manufactured T-72M1 MBT chassis were:

French Giat Industries 155 mm/40 calibre GCT turret
UK BAE Systems, RO Defence 155 mm/39 calibre AS90 turret system (with a 155 mm/52 system tested in mid-1995)
South African LIW (a division of Denel) 155 mm/52 calibre T-6 turret system
Slovakian ZTS 155 mm/45 calibre Zuzana turret system.
All four manufacturers submitted their bids before the extensive trials commenced, these being for 60, 120 and 200 complete 155 mm turret systems with eventual production to be undertaken in India, with up to 600 systems being required.
For the local production phase, BAE Systems, RO Defence was teamed with Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL), ZTS with the Ordnance Board Factory at Avadi (where the T-72 MBT was built), with Giat Industries and LIW both teamed with Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML).
By late 2001, none of the above proposals had been accepted and the Indian Army was starting a new competition to acquire a new towed and self-propelled 155 mm/52 calibre artillery system with seven companies being shortlisted:

Bofors Defence (owned by United Defence) (Sweden)
BAE Systems, RO Defence (UK)
Giat Industries (France)
LIW Division of Denel (South Africa)
Singapore Technologies Kinetics
Patria Vammas (Finland)
Santa Barbara (Spain)

While some of these can provide 155 mm/52 calibre weapons to meet both of the Indian Army requirements, others, for example Singapore Technologies Kinetics, Patria Vammas and Santa Barbara can only meet the towed artillery requirement.
The front runners for the self-propelled requirement are considered to be the South African LIW T-6 on the T-72M1 or Arjun MBT chassis (this is also called the Bhim) Bofors Defence FH-77BD on a VME A25C (6 Ч 6) chassis.
There have also been consistent reports that Russia has offered a 155 mm version of its 152 mm 2S19 full tracked self-propelled artillery system which is based on a fully tracked chassis that uses T-72 and T-80 MBT components.

Re: Индийская САУ...

130 мм орудие М-46. Шасси индийского танка Vijayanta. Более подробных ТТХ нет под рукой.
Всего наилучшего. Виталий http://www.otvaga.narod.ru/
