Cn-105-57
The CN-105-57, also known as CN 105/57 or D1504, is a light French 105 mm tank gun. Design The CN 105-57 is a light 105 mm rifled tank gun originally designed to be mounted on light tanks with oscillating turret such as the French AMX-13 and the Austrian SK-105 Kurassier. It uses the same conventional ammunition as the longer and heavier CN 105 F1 but smaller and lighter propellant charges with shorter cartridges cases enable it to be fitted into the FL 12, FL 15 and FL 20 light tanks oscillating turrets. Other changes to the gun include a horizontal breechblock, a muzzle brake, and a single-cylinder recoil mechanism together with a single hydropneumatic recuperator. The 105 mm L44/57 FTR gun produced in Argentina at the Fábrica Militar «Río Tercero» (FM «RT»), Río Tercero, Córdoba, which was a copy of the French CN-105-57 gun.https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar-argentina-sherman-repotenciado/ Ammunition *OCC 105 F1 : a 10.85 kg non-rotating shaped-charge ...

AMX-13
The AMX-13 is a French light tank produced from 1952 to 1987. It served with the French Army, as the Char 13t-75 Modèle 51, and was exported to more than 26 other nations. Named after its initial weight of 13 tonnes, and featuring a tough and reliable chassis,''The Complete Guide to Tanks and Armoured Fighting Vehicles'', it was fitted with an oscillating turret built by GIAT Industries (now Nexter) with revolver-type magazines, which were also used on the Austrian SK-105 Kürassier. Including prototypes and export versions, over a hundred variants exist, including self-propelled guns, anti-aircraft systems, Armoured personnel carrier, APCs, and ATGM versions. Development The tank was designed at the Ateliers de construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux, Atelier de Construction d'Issy-les-Moulineaux (AMX) in 1946 to meet a requirement for an air-portable vehicle to support paratroopers. The prototype ran from 1948. The compact chassis had torsion bar suspension with five road wheels a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SK-105 Kürassier
The SK-105 ''Kürassier'' is an Austrian light tank armed with a rifled 105 mm gun in an oscillating turret. It is estimated that over 700 have been produced, with initial deliveries in 1971. It shares its CN 105-57 main gun with the French AMX-13, which was widely produced and deployed. History Design and development The SK-105 was developed by Saurer-Werk (now Steyr-Daimler-Puch) to meet the Austrian Army's operational requirements for a mobile anti-tank vehicle. The first prototype was ready in 1967 and delivery of pre-production vehicles commenced in 1971. The SK-105 is based on a heavily modified Saurer 4K 4FA, Saurer APC. The hull of the SK-105 is welded steel and is divided into three compartments: driver's at the front, fighting in the centre and the engine at the rear. Due to its low weight, the SK-105 can be transported by C-130 Hercules Military transport aircraft, transport aircraft. The turret of the SK-105 is developed from the French design used on the AMX-1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tank Gun
A tank gun is the main armament of a tank. Modern tank guns are high-velocity, large-caliber artilleries capable of firing kinetic energy penetrators, high-explosive anti-tank, and cannon-launched guided projectiles. Anti-aircraft guns can also be mounted to tanks. As the tank's primary armament, they are almost always employed in a direct fire mode to defeat a variety of ground targets at all ranges, including dug-in infantry, lightly armored vehicles, and especially other heavily armored tanks. They must provide accuracy, range, penetration, and rapid fire in a package that is as compact and lightweight as possible, to allow mounting in the cramped confines of an armored gun turret. Tank guns generally use self-contained ammunition, allowing rapid loading (or use of an autoloader). They often display a bulge in the barrel, which is a bore evacuator, or a device on the muzzle, which is a muzzle brake. History World War I The first tanks were used to break through trench d ...

105 Mm
105 mm (4.1 in) is a common NATO-standard artillery and tank gun calibre. The rifled tank round is defined by STANAG 4458. The artillery round is defined by AOP-29 part 3 with reference to STANAG 4425. Artillery Since the early 21st century, most NATO armies have settled on 155 mm (6.1 in) weapons as having a good compromise between range and destructive power whilst having a single calibre, which simplifies logistics; however some military forces have retained 105 mm (4.1 in) towed howitzers for their lighter weight and greater portability, including their rapid airlift and airdrop capabilities. The lower power and shorter range of 105 mm (4.1 in) ammunition has led to its obsolescence in full-sized self-propelled guns, such as the American M108 howitzer and British FV433 Abbot SPG. China, North Korea, Russia, and other former Soviet bloc countries use 122 mm (4.8 in) and 130 mm (5.1 in) calibre weapons in similar roles. 105 mm artillery guns *FV433 Abbot SPG () *G7 howitzer ( ...

Light Tank
A light tank is a Tank classification, tank variant initially designed for rapid movements in and out of combat, to outmaneuver heavier tanks. It is smaller with thinner vehicle armour, armor and a less powerful tank gun, main gun, tailored for better tactical mobility (military), mobility and ease of transport and military logistics, logistics. They are primarily employed in the screening (tactical), screening, armoured reconnaissance, armored reconnaissance, skirmishing, artillery observer, artillery observation, and supplementing landing operations in a fire support role of expeditionary warfare, expeditionary forces where larger, heavier tanks are unavailable or have difficulties operating safely or efficiently. The fast light tank was a major feature of the pre–World War II army buildup, where it was expected they would be used to exploit breakthroughs in enemy lines created by slower, heavier tanks, with the goal of disrupting communications and supply lines.

CN 105 F1
The Canon de 105 mm modèle F1 (or CN-105-F1) is a French 105 mm tank gun used with the AMX-30. History The CN 105 F1 was designed at the end of the 1950s by the arsenal of Bourges (EFAB) under the project name D1512, its development was completed in 1962 and the gun was registered as 105 Mle 62 (an abbreviated version of ''105 mm 1962 Model'') which in turn took the designation of CN 105 F1 after being fitted with its armored gun mantlet. As the French Army was relying on the OCC 105 F1 (''obus G'') as main as its only armor-piercing ammunition at that time, the rifling of CN 105 F1 gun barrel was given a relatively slow twist of one turn in 25 calibers to minimise the spin imparted to the HEAT projectile, but this made it unsuitable for firing APDS, although compatible with all other types of NATO 105×617mm ammunition such as APFSDS, the OFL 105 F1 being the first French-made APFSDS and was fielded in November 1981.

AMX-10 RC
The AMX-10 RC is a French armoured fighting vehicle manufactured by Nexter Systems for armoured reconnaissance purposes. Equipping French cavalry units since 1979,https://imagesdefense.gouv.fr/fr/remise-du-premier-vehicule-amx-10-rc-au-2e-rh-regiment-de-hussards-a-sourdun-par-yvon-bourges-ministre-de-la-defense.html over 240 remained in service with the French Army in 2021 when replacement by EBRC Jaguar gradually started. 108 units were sold to Morocco and 12 to Qatar. "RC" stands for "''Roues-Canon''", meaning "wheels-gun", as it is 6-wheeled and armed with a 105 mm calibre gun. Newspapers and officials have often incorrectly referred to it as a "char léger" (''light tank''). The AMX-10 RC is distinct from the amphibious AMX-10P: they both have a waterproof welded aluminum chassis and share automotive components, but have completely different battlefield roles. The AMX-10 RC is usually used for reconnaissance missions in dangerous environments or for fire support. Desig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
