The Central Military District will create a new high-powered artillery division.

In the Orenburg region, a large-capacity division will be created, to which heavy self-propelled mortars will be handed over. Interfax-AVN message of the press service of the Central Military District.

The formation of the new unit is planned to be completed by the end of the year, the basis of its armament will be heavy self-propelled mortars 2C4 "Tulip",

says release.

The press service noted that the division "will strengthen the combat capabilities of the artillery units of the district."

2С4 Tulip "- 240-mm self-propelled mortar developed by the Ural enterprise" Transmash "in Yekaterinburg.

It is “designed to destroy durable field-type facilities, command posts, artillery and rocket batteries and other military equipment inaccessible for flat fire,” added in the district.

The firing range of an ordinary projectile is up to 10 kilometers, and active-reactive - up to 20. Thanks to the 520-strong diesel engine, the installation develops speed 62 kilometer per hour.

2С4 Tulip "- 240-mm self-propelled mortar developed by the Ural enterprise" Transmash "in Yekaterinburg.
Is it new or removed from conservation?

[Zibelew]

"Flower" from storage. The 2C4 self-propelled mortar is the only mortar in the world of this caliber.

[Vadim237]

For this mortar, new actively reactive mines must be created, with a firing range of 30 kilometers.

[alexmach]

Yes, of course, from conservation. Or translate from somewhere.

[kolkulon]

And the heels of "Capacitors." That would be power.

[Zibelew]

Power is the god of war "Oka" - 420 mm nuclear mortar And so "Tulip" so - to clean the area

[Paranoid50]

Oka "- 420 mm fellow nuclear mortar

Here they are, two "little things"

[They <b>accompany you</b>]

240 mm mines 3BV4 Power ???
The 240-mm towed mortar M-240 of the 1950 model (GRAU Index - 52-M-864),
240mm self-propelled mortar 2C4 Tulip
Normal firing range 9,5 km
in active-reactive 18 km.
152-mm nuclear projectile 3BV3 Nuclear power 2,5 kt in TNT equivalent, firing range 17,4 km.

[Zaurbek]

A tulip would be modernized and made up to date from modern materials with a computer for calculating amendments. With such ammunition and increased accuracy - a fairy tale is simple

[Maz]

Yeah, to swell a bunch of headstock for development and refinement, despite the fact that this one, almost for free, puts mines weighing 2 pounds of explosives with firing accuracy - plus or minus five meters. To support the infantry in Syria, just the very thing. 2С4 "Tulip" is intended for the destruction of fortified buildings, fortifications, accumulations of manpower and armored vehicles of the enemy, as well as the destruction of objects and targets, the destruction of which is not available to other artillery guns.

The main ammunition of the 2B8 mortar includes high-explosive mines 53-F-864 with a maximum firing range of 9,65 km, as well as 3F2 active-reactive mines with a maximum firing range of 19,69 km. In 1982, the armament was adopted 2C4 adjustable shell "Daredevil". In addition, for the 240-mm M-240 and 2C4 mortars, the following were developed: Sayda incendiary mines equipped with napalm and forming stable ignition centers on an area of ​​7850 m² around the center of the shell rupture, Nerpa cluster mines equipped with 3OF16 high-explosive fragmentation warheads , nuclear shells with a capacity of 2 kilotons in the usual and active-reactive version, as well as neutron shells "Resin" and "Fata". The maximum rate of fire at an elevation angle of 60 ° and the average position of the barrel - 1 shot in 62 seconds

I still have a hunch, the goal is much closer .....

That's just the price of this "almost free" is very high. And the "Daredevils", which riveted under the USSR, are already ending.
And when shooting with conventional accuracy is not very high. Plus a very low rate of fire.

[Zaurbek]

So you need every shot to the target ... mines with GLONNAS guidance.

[Zaurbek]

And what a lot of money to swell? There is a chassis (unless a new diesel is to be supplied), the same system for all artillery systems is the same, the trunk on modern machines and modern alloys can be done ... this is an upgrade rather. And in terms of power and accuracy, practically replacing aviation (taking into account the use of UAVs)

[Rusfaner]

Still need a thermonuclear shell "Shroud" ...

[Hadji Murat]

This is the second division of Tulips in Russia. They are being removed from conservation, Shoigu talked about this last year.

Well, it’s very interesting - on which section of the “front” will this incredible power be concentrated? Who will fall under the "distribution of goodies"?

[Music]

My advice was to transfer to the Donetsk front. To combat armored vehicles

Baltic battalions of NATO

And not only them. Also in the troops come self-propelled guns 2s7 "Peony" and 2s7m "Malka", 203 mm. There is also a "tricky" ammunition.

[Zomanus]

Interestingly, ammunition for the "Tulip" still produce?
Or units can be created to shoot the remaining ammunition and write off.
Because it is clear that such things are now very vulnerable.

[K-50]

If you perform the same, but on a larger scale, on a modern technological base and caliber, take that way under 300 mm with ammunition under 350 kg of RDX and break in on barmaley.
The stink of truth will rise about the "inhuman Russians." Although, on the other hand, are we not for us to cry for them?
The main thing that the benefit was.

Too much. Better do it in Iran. Take a 160 mm mortar and reduce barrel length to increase mobility

[RED PARTISAN]

It's time to test this product for its intended purpose. A 240 mm mine with one hit will unfold the dugout or roadblock, leaving no chance for the enemy to survive. 2C4 in combination with special ammunition can very quickly destroy a hostile fauna in a given square.

[Proton]

This flower, among other things, is shot by nuclear charges, that's why it is removed from storage and to the troops.

[Zaurbek]

I would not want to be in the calculation that shoots special ammunition from a mortar ...

[RED PARTISAN]

What's so terrible? An active nuclear missile flies 18 km, which completely eliminates any risk to the crew. When fired at 9 km, only radioactive fallout is a danger, so the direction and speed of the wind must be taken into account. An explosion of 2 kt will destroy the enemy infantry within a radius of about 1,5 km, but the force of the explosion decreases in proportion to the cube of the distance from it, so at a distance of 6 km the excess pressure will drop 64 times.

[Zaurbek]

Tell me, if mortars shoot at the enemy with a mine with YaBCh (not one, probably) the enemy what will they do?

[RED PARTISAN]

Turn into a cloud of radioactive vapor and fall to the earth in the form of precipitation after a couple of hours.

[Zaurbek]

I would like to...

[Lopatov]

Nuclear?
The maximum range of firing of HE by a mine on a “special” charge is 9700 meters. Scary nuclear ... 8)))

[Doliva63]

However, in my opinion, they were in brigades of increased power, if I am not mistaken. And there were neutron b / ps.

Hehehehe ... 9700 m is almost 5 times more than this nuclear miracle:

[RED PARTISAN]

Jihad mortar ... It is likely that the first shot will be the last to calculate.

[vagus]

The experience of the application was in the first Chechen. When from the old panel five-story houses made firing points. One shot of the “Daredevil” from a tulip piled the house with a voluminous detonation of ammunition from the basement.

[Glory1974]

The experience of the application was in the first Chechen.

Not only in the first. The second also noted during the storming of Grozny.

[Music]

It seems that the bosses heard the returned mortar. It remains to send a hundred of these to the front
