In Serbia, we develop a light tank on the Soviet SAU chassis 2c1 “carnation”. Pictures of a promising machine appeared on MyCity Military forum. It is believed that the car is developing DLS Specijalni Sistemi D.O.O. Beograd.
Pictures of the machine were published in May, but only now drew attention to the development now. The characteristics of a promising tank are unknown, but its appearance allows you to judge the car on which it is based. So, the Soviet self-propelled Gaubita 2C1 “carnation” is guessed in the building. The chassis 2c1 is based on the finalized chassis of the MT-LB tractor. “Carnation” can swim, overcome raises up to 35 degrees, and develop speed up to 60 kilometers per hour along the highway.
In Serbian development, the place of the Tower with the Gaubitiz took a new combat module. Judging by the characteristic dulley brake, the main tank instrument was the upgraded Soviet anti-tank gun MT-12 caliber of 100 millimeters. This weapon can use shots with control missiles.
SAE 2C1 mass is 15.7 tons, which makes it possible to attribute the tank at its base to light machines. The anti-tank gun will allow a promising machine to fight with tanks and legogencies of the enemy.
In July, marine tests of a light floating tank “Sprut-SDM1” began in Russia. In the water area of the Black Sea, the military checked the waterfrost tank.
