TAM


Between 1974 and 1976, a medium tank with an unusual design was developed by Thyssen Henschel on behalf of Argentina. At that time, a new turret with a German 105mm cannon company Rheinmetall type Rh-105-30 on an improved chassis of an infantry fighting vehicle was used Marder . The Germans marked the tank as TH-301, in Argentina it was named TAM (Tanque Argentino Mediano - Argentine medium tank).


The chassis was redesigned compared to the original Marder. The thickness of the armor was reduced, in addition, structural elements were added, which increased the rigidity of the hull to withstand the greater weight of the ceiling with the tower placed. The effort was also not to overload the MB-833 Ka-500 engine from MTU. The weight of the chassis is finally 200 kg lower than the Marder.


This concept was chosen because South America has difficult terrain conditions with a not very well-developed road network structure, high and steep mountains and a large number of rivers with low bridge capacity.


In the rear of the vehicle is the entrance area where the supply of ammunition is located. The drive unit is located in the front right part of the vehicle, to the left of it is the driver's seat.


The fire control system uses a panoramic daily aiming system TRP-2A with magnification from 6x to 20x (unstabilized) supplemented by a night vision or TZF sight from Zeiss with eight times magnification at the shooter's station.


The cannon is stabilized similarly to the tank Leopard 1A4 (carried stock of ammunition caliber 105 mm is 50 pieces). Additional equipment is 2 machine guns caliber 7.62 mm with a supply of 6,000 rounds.


In the first half of the eighties, about 150 tanks (from the originally ordered 512 pieces) were produced in the plants in Buenos Aires, together with them, 200 pieces of a VCTP infantry fighting vehicle came off the production line on the same chassis. At the end of the eighties, 20 (25?) Self-propelled howitzers were built on TAM chassis VCA 155. The chassis for howitzers was extended by one pair of wheels and equipped with an Italian tower Palmaria.


It is interesting that when the comparative tests with the Stingray TAM tank took place in Ecuador, it gained 950 points out of 1000 possible, Stingray 750 points
