| Source measurement | — | The SK-105 Kürassier is an Austrian light tank / tank destroyer armed with a rifled 105 mm gun in an oscillating turret . It is estimated that over 700 have been produced, with initial deliveries in 1971 and hull production ceasing in February 2001. It shares its CN 105-57 main gun with the French AMX-13 , which was widely produced and deployed.[source]SK-105 Kürassier · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage 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 at the front, fighting in the centre and the engine at the rear. Due to its low weight, the SK-105 can be transported by C-130 Hercules transport aircraft . The turret of the SK-105 is developed from the French design used on the AMX-13 . Its gun can penetrate 360 mm of armour. Front armour protects the crew from 20mm armour-piercing rounds over its frontal arc, while all-round protection is against small arms bullets only. Add-on armour on the front part of the chassis and turret is available as an option, which provides protection against 35 mm APDS rounds at a flank arc. Some export vehicles were fitted with add-on armour.[source]SK-105 Kürassier · History / Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage A CILAS TCV 29 laser range-finder (range of 400 to 9,995 m) is mounted on the roof of the turret.[source]SK-105 Kürassier · History / Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage All versions of the SK-105 have a 105 mm gun designated 105 G1.[source]SK-105 Kürassier · History / Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage SK-105 A3 - Limited production of improved version of the SK-105. It featured applique armour on the turret, new fire control system , thermal camera and a new 105 mm M68 tank gun.[source]SK-105 Kürassier · Variants; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
