Kurganets & Boomerang Discussions Thread #2

The lastest Boomerang during Shoigu's visit...

Pic from the first appearance

Decade later and they still drag these same three Boomerangs on parade, only good for hauling those three flags around

Just put the project out of it's misery already, it's gotten pathetic years ago

Better late than hot garbage.

Funny how western people have no patience at all any more... they would rather get something now and have it fail and be broken because it wasn't tested and thought out properly than to wait to get something better.

Reminds me of the attitude of children, which is an excellent way of understanding the west and their governments these days.

Boomerang, being a wheeled family of vehicles is going to be very useful and much cheaper to operate than tracked vehicles, though of course their mobility will be less, but then working as a team as each vehicle gets stuck the others can winch them out, and they are amphibious so even if they get stuck they wont sink and be lost.

Also they are much better armoured than any BTR so protection levels for the forces will improve dramatically too.

A they perfect the turrets and suites for each vehicle type transferring them to other chassis should be much easier, so for instance to make the tank version of the Kurganets and the Boomerang, you would fit the T-14 turret and change the internal arrangements of some equipment and things... instant lighter tanks and tank destroyers.

Having heavy armoured track (Armata), medium armoured tracked (Kurganets) and medium armoured wheeled (Boomerang) as well as light wheeled (Typhoon) and even special two cabin arctic models (DT-30 based) vehicle families will be very flexible and useful moving forward.
