Overview of the newly developed VN17 wheeled armored vehicle

Mondo Military Updated on 2024-02-05

VN17 is a 30-ton heavy armored vehicle integrating firepower, protection, mobility and informatization, and is a new type of armored vehicle that can meet the needs of modern warfare and has multiple combat functions. Its technical parameters are equivalent to imported classic combat vehicles such as the German "Puma" and the Swedish CV90-30.

The VN17 armored vehicle is suitable for rapid deployment, rapid maneuvering, attack confrontation, anti-terrorist peacekeeping, territorial control, independent execution of attacks, patrols, and combat with main battle tanks. The areas of battle include mountains, jungles, deserts, towns. They are fought in the mountains and forests, deserts and Gobi, cities, anti-airborne, and other non-combat methods. This kind of infantry fighting vehicle is grouped according to combat needs, can be grouped according to the basic formed units, can be used in a centralized or separate manner, usually with infantry fighting vehicle battalions, companies as the basic framework of the composite combat module, and equipped with corresponding combat units and auxiliary support troops, temporarily form a small comprehensive multi-functional combat unit, undertake a variety of combat missions.

Key process characteristics.

The VN17 armored vehicle adopts the overall design of forward thrust power transmission, a central top turret, and a rear crew compartment, with a crew of 3 and a crew of 8.

The VN17 armored vehicle follows the design ideas of serialization, modularization, generalization and combination, and adopts the concept of taking the VT5 as a sister model with China's light foreign trade main battle tank, and shares the engine, integrated transmission device, action system, and information system as an important part of the chassis.

The VN17 armored personnel carrier has sufficient energy with an output of more than 21 kW t per metric ton and excellent mobility. The engine is a four-stroke, cooled exhaust turbocharged diesel engine with an output of 650 kW. The transmission is a hydraulic-mechanical integrated planetary gearbox, with six gears, two gears, automatic shifting, hydraulic continuously variable speed, and first-class control functions. The drive wheels of the drive system are forward-leaning, torsional + shock-absorbing suspension, a pin lug plug-in rubber track, and six load-bearing wheels on each side. The maximum speed on the highway must not be less than 70 kilometers per hour.

The VN17 has a powerful attack capability against land and air forces at a range of 4000 km. Like the German "Puma", the VN17 was equipped with a high-tech, all-electric, remotely controlled automatic turret with a 30 mm interlocking gun and a 7The 62 mm side-by-side cannon, equipped with an image stabilization control system, each driver has his own fixed sighting device, which can form a "hunter-destroyer" combination. On the outside of the turret, a "Red Arrow" Type 12 was installed, the maximum range of attack of which was 4000 m, a new type of armor-piercing projectile was used, it was a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was made up of a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was made up of a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was made up of a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was made up of a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was made up of a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was created by a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was made up of a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was made up of a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which was created by a new type of armor-piercing projectile called a new type of armor-piercing projectile called a new type of armor-piercing projectile called a new type of armor-piercing projectile of a type of armor-piercing projectile of a type of armor-piercing projectile of a type of armor

The VN17 armored vehicle pays attention to the protection of armor and can effectively guarantee the personnel on board. It has a layer of armor on the body and turret to protect against 6-8 kg of explosives, and it is also equipped with explosion-proof armor on both sides to withstand the bombardment of armor-piercing shells and RPG missiles from tanks. In order to adapt to the needs of air traffic, additional armor can be added, increasing the speed of motorization.

The VN17 armored vehicle is equipped with a set of vehicle information system centered on the task terminal of the commander and driver, which can realize the functions of information collection, processing, display and battlefield command between vehicles. Based on the CAN bus, this method gives full play to the physical bandwidth characteristics of CAN to achieve real-time and high-bandwidth in-vehicle communication.

VN17 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle has a modular structure, with high scalability, according to its different systems, can also develop various types of vehicles, such as: tank destroyers, long-range suppression of combat vehicles, air defense vehicles, rescue vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, command vehicles, ambulances, etc., forming a complete vehicle family, to the greatest extent to adapt to the needs of the entire armored forces.
