The Bumerang-BM (Russian: Бумеранг-БМ) or DUBM-30 Epoch [1] is a remotely controlled turret for the T-15 Armata heavy IFV, Kurganets-25 and Bumerang platforms. [1] It was first seen in public in 2015 during rehearsals for the Moscow Victory Day Parade, mounted on those three platforms. [5]
The turret is designed by the KBP Instrument Design Bureau. [1]
The main armament is the 2A42 30 mm auto cannon [1] [2] with 500 rounds [3] consisting of 160 AP and 340 HE shells with effective firing ranges of 4,000 m (2.5 mi) and 1,500 m respectively, along with a coaxial 7.62 mm PKT machine gun with 2,000 rounds. [4]
The turret has a pair of Kornet-EM anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) on either side, [1] enabling it to salvo fire two missiles at once, either at separate targets or to "double tap" the same one to overwhelm active protection systems. [6]
The turret comes with a wide range of modern sensory, target acquisition and target tracking equipment which can engage targets day and night at maximum range of 5,500 m (3.4 mi). [7]
