Rumänien: ASCOD im Rennen für neuen Schützenpanzer

[Doppeladler]

Rumänien plant vorerst 246 westliche Infantry Fighting Vehicles bis 2031 zu beschaffen. Damit sollen die MLI-84 und MLI-84M, eine Version des BMP-1, ersetzt werden. Budget: 2,54 Mrd. EUR inkl. Dienstleistungen, Simulatoren etc. Nach 2031 sollen nochmals 52 Fahrzeuge zulaufen.

GDELS bingt dafür den ASCOD 42 IFV in Stellung: 42t Gefechtsgewicht, ballistischer Schutz bis Level 5 nach STANAG 4569 und 4a/b Minenschutz. GDELS hat bereits mit dem PIRANHA V samt lokaler Produktion den Fuß in der Tür.
Der Hanwa AS21 Redback aus Korea ist ebenfalls ein heißer Kandidat.

In der Slowakei wurde die Bewertung des ASCOD-42-Schützenpanzer herabgestuft, da die Wanne bzw. das Fahrwerk zu viele Vibrationen während der Fahrt verursachte und man nicht davon ausging, dass das Problem in naher Zukunft behoben werden könne.

Dafür hat GDELS-Demonstratorfahrzeug den gleichen Elbit-Turm wie die lokale Version vom Piranha V (der allerdings große Probleme bereitet).

Romanian government readies fighting vehicle, howitzer deals in 2024

Publicly available information suggests the IFV program, under which Romania is to buy up to 298 new vehicles, is worth about €3 billion, or $3.3 billion. Local observers say the Romanian military is expected to choose between South Korea’s Hanwha Aerospace with the Redback, General Dynamics European Land Systems with its Ascod, German Rheinmetall with the Lynx, and the CV90 made by BAE Systems Hägglunds in Sweden, among others.

A spokesperson for the National Defence Ministry told Defense News the award procedure for the vehicle contract is underway, and its signing is expected to take place in 2024.

Zu viel Hoffnung sollte sich General Dynamics eher nicht machen. Angesichts der Konkurrenz mit Cv90,Lynx und dem Redback hat der ASCOD wohl bestenfalls Außenseiterchancen.

BSDA 2024: Hanwha to offer Redback IFV to Italy and Romania

Hanwha revealed that it intends to enter its Redback tracked infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) into Italian and Romanian competitive IFV procurement programmes at the Black Sea Defense and Aerospace (BSDA) 2024 exhibition held in Bucharest from 22 to 24 May.

In a press release published on 21 May, Billy Boohwan Lee, head of Hanwha Aerospace Europe, claimed that “the Redback IFV solution is expected to help bring a massive manufacturing capability to the Romanian market through active industrial partnerships”. This followed an industry day held on 17 May, in which the company met with representatives from Romanian industry to investigate avenues for potential collaboration in upcoming programmes.

However, in an interview with Janes on the first day of the exhibition, Peter JK Bae, vice-president for business development at Hanwha Aerospace Europe, confirmed that partnerships with Romanian industry had yet to be finalised and that there are currently no arrangements in place for prototypes to be shipped from Australia to Romania for testing.
