MLI-84M - Modernised Romanian BMP-1

Military Archive 2023-07-07 | Romanian and US forces have been practising together on a training ground in Romania.

The MLI-84M1 - modernization of the BMP-1 fitted with a new Israeli OWS-25R overhead mount turret armed with 25x137mm Oerlikon KBA autocannon, two 9S415 ATGM launchers and a machine gun. It is also equipped with two banks of four 81 mm DLG 81 heat and smoke grenade launchers. Grenades leave a thermal curtain of fire around the vehicle for about five minutes, to confuse enemy missiles. MLI-84M1 vehicle also has a system that can disperse dense smoke over a radius of 360 degrees around the vehicle and at a distance between 300–400 metres (980–1,310 ft). Because mounting of the new turret increased the weight of the vehicle to 17.6 tonnes, a new more powerful engine was fitted.

The Romanian Ministry of Defense spent over 155 million dollars to upgrade 99 vehicles.

M1 Abrams Shows Off Its Extreme Firepower

Military Archive 2023-06-09 | The M1 Abrams is a third-generation American main battle tank. The M1 Abrams entered service in 1980 and serves as the main battle tank of the United States Army and formerly of the United States Marine Corps (USMC).

There are three main operational Abrams versions, the M1, M1A1, and M1A2, with each new iteration seeing improvements in armament, protection, and electronics.

The latest upgrades consist of commander's independent thermal viewer, position navigation equipment, a full set of controls and displays linked by a digital data bus, improved fire control system, remotely operated stations (CROWS or CROWS II), color displays, better interfaces, better front and side armor, an upgraded transmission for better durability and more.

The main armament of the M1A1 and M1A2 is the M256 120 mm smoothbore gun(an improved variant of the Rheinmetall 120 mm L/44 gun carried on the German Leopard 2).

The M1 Abrams's powertrain consists of an AGT1500 multifuel gas turbine capable of 1,500 shaft horsepower.

About 10000 M1 Abrams tanks were produced since the 80s.

NLAW & FGM-148 Javelin: Anti-Tank Live Fire

Military Archive 2023-05-26 | Various episodes as UK and Lithuanian soldiers operating the Javelin and NLAW systems on the range during Exercise Hunter 22 in Lithuania.

About 40 soldiers from the British Army took part in Exercise Hunter 22 in Lithuania alongside the Lithuanian Army.

This bilateral exercise was focused on sharing and improving anti-tank capabilities.

The NLAW is a man-portable, lightweight, fire-and-forget, confined-spaces system allowing the missile to be fired from almost anywhere. The missile uses a soft-launch system and is guided by predicted line of sight. Maximum firing range is up to 1000 m.

It can be used in two operating modes - the top attack (OTA) mode and the direct attack (DA) mode. Against tanks and other armoured vehicles, the overfly top attack (OTA) is used, the missile flies about one metre above the line of sight, detonating the warhead above the target.

The FGM-148 Javelin is an American man-portable, compact, lightweight, fire-and-forget, anti-tank missile system with the effective range up to 2.95 mi (4.5 km). The Javelin uses automatic infrared guidance(that allows to take cover or leave the launch site immediately after the launch), as opposed to wire-guided systems, and is capable of defeating modern tanks by hitting them from above, where their armor is thinnest, but also can take a direct mode if necessary. The launch capability of the Javelin allows it to have only a minimal backblast area. The portable system is easy to separate into main components and easy to set up when needed.

The FGM-148 Javelin remains one of the best portable anti-tank systems in the world.

Mk-29 Sea Sparrow Missile Launcher - RIM-162 ESSM & RIM-7P During Sea Trials

Military Archive 2021-05-29 | U.S. Navy testing the RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM) during combat systems ship qualification trials (CSSQT) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford. CSSQT is a Naval Sea Systems Command requirement to verify that ship personnel can operate and maintain their combat systems in a safe and effective manner. USS Gerald R. Ford is underway in the Atlantic Ocean conducting its final independent steaming event of post-delivery test and trials.

Addicional footage includes a RIM-7P missile fired from a Mk-29 Sea Sparrow missile launching system during a live-fire exercise aboard the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3). Kearsarge is underway for amphibious ready group training and deployment certifications.

00:00 - RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow Missile (ESSM)
03:11 - RIM-7P Sea Sparrow Missile

The RIM-162 Evolved SeaSparrow Missile (ESSM) is a development of the RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missile used to protect ships from attacking missiles and aircraft. ESSM is designed to counter supersonic maneuvering anti-ship missiles.

The new missile is 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter instead of the previous 8 inches, which allows for a more powerful motor. It also eliminates the mid-mounted wings entirely, replacing them with long fins and moves guidance control to the rear fins that offers considerably higher maneuverability.
