The heart of the LG907 main gun system is a powerful smoothbore cannon.
The cannon is typically chambered for a high-caliber round, such as 120mm or 125mm, depending on the variant. This large caliber enables the gun to engage heavily armored targets, such as tanks or fortified positions, with remarkable effectiveness.
One of the key features of the LG907 main gun is its advanced fire control system. Equipped with sophisticated targeting sensors, including laser rangefinders and thermal imaging cameras, the gun can accurately detect and track enemy targets. The data collected by these sensors is processed by a fire control computer, which calculates the optimal trajectory for engaging the target. This integration of advanced technology ensures precise and effective engagement of the enemy.
The LG907 main gun is capable of firing a variety of ammunition types to suit different combat scenarios. This includes armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds, which are designed to penetrate heavy armor, as well as high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, which are effective against both armored and soft targets. Additionally, the gun can fire high-explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) rounds for area suppression and canister rounds for close-range engagements.
The main gun of the LG907 boasts a formidable range, allowing it to engage targets at significant distances.
Depending on the ammunition used and other factors, the effective range can extend up to several kilometers. This long-range capability provides the operator with the flexibility to engage targets from a safe distance, increasing survivability on the battlefield.
To ensure sustained firepower, the LG907 main gun is typically equipped with an autoloader mechanism. This mechanism automatically loads rounds into the breach, enabling the gun to maintain a high rate of fire without the need for manual intervention. This feature significantly enhances the operational efficiency of the gun and reduces the crew's workload.
The LG907 main gun can be integrated into various armored vehicle platforms, including main battle tanks and heavy infantry fighting vehicles. This versatility allows for the customization of armored units based on specific mission requirements. The main gun system is typically equipped with stabilization technology, which compensates for the vehicle's movement, allowing for accurate firing on the move.
