The new ukrainian wheeled tank destroyer BTR-3E1 with 90mm CMI CSE90LP has been tested in Thailand for for mechanized infantry regiment (MGS) , reported defence-blog.com. CMI Defence and Ukroboroprom integrate the Cockerill CSE 90LP turret with the BTR- 3E 8×8 vehicle. The resulting system offers robust organic direct firesupport to current and future BTR-3 users.

The Cockerill CSE 90LP is a low-weight two-person turret. Featuring the proven Cockerill 90mm low pressure gun (of which some 2,500 units have been sold) the turret provides a range of highly effective fires from HE to APFSDS-T and Canister. These fires are accurately delivered around the clock using electrically-powered gun drives and a night/day digital fire control system. The low weight of the Cockerill CSE 90LP turret permits the high mobility of the Ukroboronservice BTR-3E chassis to be fully utilized. Despite its high capability and advanced design, the Cockerill CSE 90LP turret is simple to use and ruggedly reliable in the field; a real soldier’s tool.

The BTR-3E1 project fulfilled the wish of highly mobile infantry with reasonable firepower but there are some missing puzzles ,the MGS ,which will provide the heavy punches for this (these) regiment(s), IMO, this 90 mm is more than enough firepower to support the infantry (but 105 should do some jobs better,i.e. tank hunting).

Sepertinya industri pertahanan Thailand semakin dekat dengan Produk2 Ukraina, masih kah ada kans BTR 4 masuk ke Marinir? dengan launch varian baru BTR 3 ini kerjasama Thailand - Ukraina ga ada masalah, meskipun di Ukraina masih terus konflik, tidak seperti yg ditakutkan oleh pengambil kebijakan di Dephan.

Klo melihat profilnya, APC 8x8 namun cuman pakai LP gun 90 mm kok spertinya berlebihan yah? padahal klo pakai 105 High Pressure seharusnya masih mampu.


Lebih cocoknya klo cuman 90mm LP ya di platform 6x6 aja seperti di BADAK buatan Pindad.
