Object 782

Hello everyone :), what I would like to introduce today is Object 782.

History

Since the design of ZSU-57-2, it has been found to be very effective in attacking ground targets, including some other anti-aircraft vehicles that are also very powerful in ground attacks, but these ideas have not been further developed.Until the 1980s, the Soviet Union suffered a lot of losses in the Afghanistan War. During street or mountain battles, BMP series automatic guns can deal with ambushing infantry, but their own armor cannot withstand most attacks. Tanks can withstand some attacks, but the pitch angle of the main gun is insufficient to attack enemies at high altitudes. Therefore, in these practical experiences, it has been shown that armored forces require an armored vehicle equipped with automatic weapons and missiles, and sufficient pitch angle to cope with most combat scenarios. At the same time, they also need to have certain armor and mobility to accompany armored forces in their attacks. Under this demand, Object 781/782 was proposed.

Object 782 is the B model of Object 781, which uses essentially the same body but is different from the weapons it carries. In order to attack both infantry and armored targets simultaneously, Object 782 uses a turret similar to BMP3, with a combination of 100mm 2A70 guns and 30mm 2A72 machine guns as the main weapons. The turret is equipped with an automatic loader that can fire missiles.In order to attack infantry on the front and sides, the driver is equipped with two AGS-40 automatic grenade launchers on both sides, and there are two 7.62mm machine guns on the rear of the vehicle, each with an independent operator. In addition, there is an independent remote-controlled machine gun at the top of the turret, allowing it to attack incoming enemies from 360 degrees.

In order to ensure combat capability in poorly lit and low visibility environments, an OU-5 searchlight is installed on the left side of the turret, which can assist in reconnaissance in the temperature range of -50 ° C to+50 ° C, as well as in rainy and dusty environments The turret is equipped with daytime aerial sights and night vision devices.The tank body uses the T-72B 1985 model, which has been raised and the front has been lengthened due to the need to carry up to 7 members But the armor filling of the extended part is unknown.The engine uses a V-84-1 diesel engine, which can output a maximum of 840 horsepower.The vehicle is not equipped with explosive reactive armor.

In 1987, Chelyabinsk Tractor Factory manufactured a prototype for Object 782 for testing purposes. It was tested at the Chebarkul training ground in the Chelyabinsk region. During the testing period, the focus was on the weapons and firepower of the new tank. The testing continued until 1990 The leadership of the Soviet Ministry of Defense believed that these vehicles had a promising future, and according to the military’s decision, employees of the Chelyabinsk Tractor Factory began preparing trial production documents. But soon, due to the new situation, the designers in Chelyabinsk received orders to stop all military project work Shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the military was unable to continue providing funding for the project, so all promising tank work came to a halt. Later, the Object 782 prototype was sent to Kubinka for storage until now.

In game

Object 782 is a highly combat capable tank. Up to 7 crew members can maintain combat effectiveness even in the event of an attack.The main gun can launch missiles to attack tanks, while the auto cannon can attack lightly armored targets. Due to its tank chassis, the armor protection is stronger than the BMP series It is suitable as an activity vehicle or technology tree vehicle to be added to games. Suggested BR is 9.3.
