BSCh-10

The BSCh-10 is a type of eight-wheeled armoured fighting vehicle developed in Menghe by the state-owned Menggang Defense Industries Corporation (MDIC). It is also known by the manufacturer's designation, which is MG-151 for the basic APC variant. The BSCh-10 designation and its sub-letters are only applied to vehicles authorized for purchase by the General-Directorate for Procurement at the Menghean Ministry of National Defense, and many export models and prototypes not purchased by the Menghean Armed Forces lack a BSCh-derived designation.

It has both armored personnel carrier and infantry fighting vehicle configurations, with the latter sporting a manned turret with a 30mm or 35mm gun. Other major variants include a 120mm mortar carrier, a 120mm gun-mortar, a 107mm gun carrier, a 150mm self-propelled howitzer, a 23mm rotary anti-air gun, a 55mm anti-air gun, and various command and signal vehicles. Most variants are fully amphibious and have a high road speed, giving the BSCh-10 good mobility, though in terms of profile and protection it is still inferior to the BSCh-8.

Variants

• MG-150 - Menggang's designation for the 8×8 chassis which forms the basis of all later variants.
• MG-151 - An APC variant with a manually aimed 12.7mm GCh-75 HMG on a pintle mount. The HMG mount can elevate from -20 to +45 degrees, and traverse 15 degrees left or right with the cupola in a given position; it can rotate through 360 degrees by turning the cupola on its bearing race.
  • MG-151G - Adds an armored shell around the machine gun cupola, offering some protection to the gunner. The armored shell is open-topped and open-backed, though the hatch covers most of the open back when open. The manually-aimed gun's elevation and free traverse chracteristics remain unchanged. Some MG-151Gs have been spotted with eight smoke grenade launchers mounted around the armored cupola; it is not known whether this variant has a separate designation.
• MG-152 - An APC variant with a 12.7mm GCh-75 HMG in a remote weapon station centered on the hull behind the gunner and commander hatches. This version is a slightly more expensive, but slightly more capable, counterpart to the MG-151, and has the same crew and passenger capacity in roughly the same layout.
