Abstract

Borbena oklopna vozila pješaštva ključna su borbena sredstva u modernom ratovanju. Ona
pružaju povećanu mobilnost te izravnu ili neizravnu vatrenu potporu pješačkim postrojbama.
Pojavom borbenih oklopnih vozila pješaštva na kotačima, mobilnost je još više povećana, no
oklopna je zaštita smanjena te ona nemaju jednake mogućnosti borbe uz bok tenkovima te više
služe kao potporna sredstva u borbi protiv pješaštva i lakše oklopljenih borbenih sredstava te u
protuoklopnoj borbi. Popularnost ovakvih vozila je velika, upravo zbog velike širine mogućnosti
koju ona pružaju, a dokaz je tome belgijska inicijativa da sva svoja borbena sredstva na
gusjenicama zamijene kotačnim. Uglavnom se radi o vozilima s pogonom 8x8 koja su, u
ulogama oklopnih transportera pješaštva, naoružana strojnicama ili topovima manjeg kalibra. U
radu je opisan povijesni razvoj oklopnih vozila i proces koji je vodio do razvoja borbenih
oklopnih vozila na kotačima. Vozila i su navedena prema vrsti, odnosno kalibru naoružanja. U
nastavku su navedene oružane stanice i kupole sa svojim naoružanjem te sustavi upravljanja
vatrom integrirani sa sustavima tih oružanih stanica i kupola. Također, ukratko su opisani pravci
razvoja novog naoružanja kalibra 50 i 57 milimetara. Na koncu, istaknuto je nekoliko
suvremenih borbenih oklopnih vozila na kotačima s naglaskom na prikaz njihovog naoružanja.

Abstract (english)

Infantry armored combat vehicles are key combat means in modern warfare. They provide
increased mobility and direct or indirect fire support to infantry units. With the advent of
wheeled armored combat vehicles, this mobility is further increased, but armored protection is
reduced, so they do not have equal opportunities to fight alongside tanks and serve more as
support in the fight against infantry and lightly armored combat vehicles and in anti-armor
combat. The popularity of such vehicles is great, especially because of the great breadth of
opportunities they provide, and the proof of this is the Belgian initiative to replace all their
combat means on caterpillars with those on wheels. These are mainly 8x8 vehicles that are, in
the role of armored infantry transporters, armed with machine guns or small-caliber cannons.
The paper describes the historical development of armored vehicles and the process that led to
the development of armored fighting vehicles on wheels. Vehicles are listed according to the
type, id est caliber of weapons. After that, armed stations and turrets with their armament and
fire control systems integrated with the systems of these weapon stations and turrets were listed.
In addition, directions of development of new weapons caliber 50 and 57 millimeters are briefly
described. To conclude, several modern wheeled combat armored vehicles with an emphasis on
the display of their weapons were highlighted.
