news: BD army is on the process of purchasing amphibious assault tank since only ZTD05 light tank is available tank in such category, we might see this chinese tank

Sprut-SDM1, My choice......................

 

[Zarvan]

By the way upcoming Indonesian and Turkish Light Tank can be great choice for Bangladesh also. I think Bangladesh should become partner in that project

Indo Defence 2016: Modern Medium Weight Tank breaks cover
Christopher F Foss, Jakarta - IHS Jane's International Defence Review

Indonesia's PT Pindad and FNSS Savunma Sistemleri of Turkey have revealed details of the Modern Medium Weight Tank (MMWT) that the companies are partnering to develop.

Under the terms of this joint development programme, which started two years ago, two prototypes are being built, one in Indonesia and the other in Turkey, both of which are scheduled to be completed sometime in 2017. There will be one additional hull that will be used for ballistic and mine protection trials.

The main role of the MMWT will be to engage light and medium armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) such as reconnaissance platforms, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), armoured personnel carriers (APCs) and combat support vehicles, rather than tackling heavier, well-armed MBTs.

The MMWT is also slated for use in the direct-fire support role, operating in conjunction with mounted and dismounted infantry in a similar manner to that carried out by MBTs in Afghanistan and Iraq. For many tactical situations the infantry support role is expected to be the primary duty of the MMWT.

The layout of the MMWT is conventional with the driver to the front, turret in the centre and diesel powerpack at the rear. The hull is of all welded steel armour with an additional modular passive composite armour, and underbelly mine protection package.

Following a competition, the Belgian CMI Defence CT-CV two-person turret was selected as this has been fully developed and tested on a wide range of platforms, tracked and wheeled.

This turret is armed with a 105 mm rifled tank gun fitted with a thermal sleeve, fume extractor, muzzle brake and muzzle reference system, which enables the gunner to bore sight the 105 mm gun without leaving the vehicle. Mounted coaxial with the 105 mm gun is a 7.62 mm machine gun (MG).

The 105 mm gun is fed by a bustle-mounted automatic loader and can fire standard ammunition, including armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot (APFSDS), high explosive (HE), high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT), and high-explosive squash head (HESH), with the latter being highly effective when used in the bunker busting role.

Medium Weight Tank from FNSS and PT Pindad

By Paolo Valpolini

At Indo Defense 2016, which opened on 2 November at Jakarta, Indonesia, FNSS of Turkey and PT Pindad of Indonesia unveiled their Modern Medium Weight Tank (MMWT) project. The programme was initiated in 2014 by the two companies, which will both retain intellectual property rights and be co-prime. Although the actual combat weight has not been declared, the lack of indication on the diesel powerpack output does not allow to obtain it the companies declaring a 20 hp/t power-to-weight ratio (depending on armour configuration), the battle tank seems tailored to Asian scenarios mobility requirements. The chassis is fitted with six roadwheeels with torsion bars, with rear sprocket and front idler; an auxiliary power unit allows to shut down the engine when the tank operates stationary, reloading batteries and saving on fuel, two fuel tanks ensuring a 450 km endurance. An advanced battery monitoring system ensures power consumption optimisation when operating in silent watch mode. The chassis is 6.952 metres long and 3.36 metres wide, height to the top of turret being 2.456 metres.



It can reach a maximum speed of 70 km/h, overcome a 60% gradient and a 30% side slope, cross a 2 metres wide trench, ford a river 1.2 metres deep without preparation, and pass over a 0.9 metres high obstacle. No detailed information is available on protection levels, but the MMTW has a basic ballistic hull to which add-on armour is fitted, thus a number of options will be made available to customers. The same applies to underbelly mine protection, ground clearance being 0.4 metres. As for firepower, the tank is fitted with CMI the CT-CV 105HP two-man turret with autoloader, which reduces the crew to three soldiers. The turret is armed with the Cockerill 105 mm L51 high pressure gun that allows to use all standard NATO ammunition in that calibre, as well as the Falarick 105 antitank missile. A commander’s panoramic periscope is available for hunter-killer operations. FNSS and PT Pindad are proposing their new tank for operations such as rear area security against light mobile or air-landed forces, counter penetration roles, delaying operations, combat reconnaissance, screening operations, light armour or soft-skinned vehicle convoys escort, and deep penetration in enemy’s rear areas. A scale model was exhibited at Indo Defense, the first prototype of the MMWT being currently in production.

but it does not have amphibious capability which BD is looking for

It's armour is so thin, you can call it tissue paper of armours. Can't withstand anything more than a 12.7 mm(even that's in the front arc,7.62mm overall) .It's literally an apc with a tank gun.

BIG NO.

..................your choice plz.

Can we assume that Belgian technology and know how have been used when the MMTW was designed and built in Indonesia?

@madokafc Our military is defence based,so I don't we'll purchase equipment for a full scale invasion anytime soon.
