SK-105 Kurassier – Photos & Vidéo

Lla 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. The SK-105 is based on a heavily modified Saurer APC. The hull of the SK 105 is welded steel and is divided into three compartments: driver’s à l’avant, se battant au centre et le moteur à l’arrière. En raison de sa faible poids, le SK-105 peut être transporté par des avions de transport C-130 Hercules. La tourelle du SK-105 est développée à partir de la Français conception utilisée sur l’AMX-13. Son canon peut pénétrer 360 mm de blindage. Le blindage avant protège l’équipage contre les obus perforants de blindage de 20 mm au-dessus de son arc frontal, tandis que la protection complète est contre les balles d’armes légères seulement. Un blindage supplémentaire sur la partie avant du châssis et de la tourelle est disponible en option qui offre une protection contre les tours APDS de 35 mm à un arc de flanc. Certains véhicules d’exportation étaient équipés d’un blindage add-on.
