On the "Army-2017" presented two versions of the mortar 2C41 "drok"

At the Army-2017 forum, the Main Missile-Artillery Directorate (GRAU) of the Ministry of Defense presented the 82-mm self-propelled mortar 2С41 "Drock" to the model. A slightly modified version of the self-propelled gun could also be seen on the stand of the UVZ corporation, reports Messenger of Mordovia.

“If the UVZ model, painted in the“ branded Nizhny Tagil camouflage ”, was accompanied only by a brief designation of the type of machine, then representatives of the Main Agrarian University told in some detail about this interesting machine,” writes the author of the publication.

According to the information, OCD "Sketch" envisages the creation of samples of highly mobile artillery and mortar weapons on the automobile and two-link tracked chassis. "

It is reported that "82-mm self-propelled (portable) mortar 2C41" Drok "is intended for artillery (mortar) batteries of battalion artillery of motorized rifle, air assault and mountain battalions." With its help, targets in the area of ​​responsibility of the battalion will be amazed.

The minimum firing range is 100 m, the maximum is 6000 m, the firing rate is up to 12 rds / min, the ammunition load is 40 mines, the crew of a human 4, and the weight are 14 tons.

At the GRAU stand, the model of the machine has machine-gun armament placed on the turret, the UVZ exposition presents an option where the machine gun is mounted separately, in a special remote-controlled module.

Let's hope that next year we will see “in kind”.
High mobility and security for mortar calculation is a big plus.

[Shurik70]

In vain models put up.
Do - show in kind. And the models are too Kiev

[Bortex]

Dear, maybe we need to do aviation without a wooden model too? so that you don’t blow it in the pipe? and also not to throw on a sapromat 3 or more aircraft under a press? it always starts with a thumbnail and not with the finished product.

[Shurik70]

Do not confuse the model for testing, and the plastic layout on the display window.

[Samaritan]

Why don’t “chickens” on this “Typhoon” ... EC, when already in the series ???:

[b] [/ b] So everything is under the influence of the Syrian experience: there the carts rule ... And rightly so)

[Andrey K]

What can I say - a good mobile mortar!
May God grant him to serve our Motherland!

[3officer]

All new crafts and variations on various topics are poured and poured. Meanwhile, they “pull the rubber” with already approved models of technology, endlessly washing out on trials and postponing the deadlines. (This is me about the Kurgan people, the Boomerangs and other Armats) Parades are looming prototypes that do not go into series and remain only on the pages of VO

[aszzz888]

... of course I would like a faster "exhaust" of new products, but what we have is what we have ...

[x.andvlad]

You shouldn’t be so. The fact that engineering is working should be encouraging. How old was our military-industrial complex in the pen ?!

In order for the new weapons to appear in the troops, it would be necessary to choose and test from what.

[3officer]

Yes, I'm not saying that new developments are not needed. It’s just reminiscent of a situation when a group of enthusiasts do not finish one thing or lose interest rush to another. At random, in a hurry, sorting through a bunch of options and expecting that some yes “shoot”

Hardly "at random." I think that such developments are created for certain tasks. Recently, apparently, given the experience of Syria, there are many options for mobile firearms, which can be used both alone and in small units. Undoubtedly, such a technique would be useful in the Airborne Forces and other mobile units.
A mortar on a protected wheelbase has many advantages. He will quietly advance to the OP, find the target, "hang" on the trajectory for 4-5 minutes, and just as quickly leave the OP, so the enemy will not really understand where these mines came from.

[Alexey-74]

Calm down, not so fast ..... there is no magic wand for which time - and everything new in the troops is already ..... being delayed, which means there is a reason. Anyway, in the next 3-5 years the equipment will go to the troops, you will see, and we all will discuss and procrastinate on these issues at the VO.

[newcomer]

as I see it, the army is increasingly relying on agne power plus mobility. a year or two ago, he himself did not underestimate the jihad mobil. after Syria, it became clear.

[Vita vko]

Doubtful design decision. Suppose the roof is strengthened, but the suspension remains standard. I doubt that she will be able to withstand the impact of the mortar for a long time. But if we do it in this way, then it would be nice to put a system of gerostabilization in 2 planes. Then you can conduct shelling on the go and more efficiently move away from counter-battery fire.

This is the Kamaz base and the 82-mm mortar will survive without problems ...
To understand the size, comparison with the "Tiger"

[Samaritan]

The dimensions are impressive considering the size of the Tiger:

[Zaurbek]

Well, what you want is not a jeep but a truck

[Vita vko]

Let's say. But there is equipment in the car. Although modern radio stations, optronics and military computers are manufactured in shockproof design, it is still not recommended to "hit them with a hammer". Therefore, from the bottom of the machine it is necessary to provide a good hydraulic jack, which will extend under the mortar during firing.

[Kerensky]

Not a heavy cart? 14 tons and 82 in armament ..
Something thought: what if 82-ku mate? The mass will not increase much, but the effect should be. 24 mines per minute, 8-10 minutes in the air ...

[Radius]

So I think about 14 tons to move the mortar. By analogy, there is a mosquito fleet (RTOs). They placed containers with cruise missiles and they became a threat to the AUG. Minimum construction costs, and the effect is huge.
In our version, the opposite is true.

[Evil 55]

Now this is a good option .. Now barmaley in the mountains can no longer hide ..

[Zomanus]

Very good for quick response and airborne groups.
Well, in the convoy to the place will be.

[couple1990]

A separate machine gun is very practical for this technique! Since during the execution of the task, the enemy will try in every possible way to make a “knight's move”, and here he shoots the bullet separately from the mortar.))) I am for the first option !!!

[Romanenko]

Self-propelled "Cornflower" appeared. A good topic, before Cornflowers in Zil or in the 66th put in the back - a very good composition was obtained, but here it should be great.

[san4es]

... And self-propelled guns "Phlox"

[mult-65]

The Hungarians put 2B9M (Cornflower) in series on MT-LB (Motolyga), and ours in Afghanistan - artificially.

[Zaurbek]

This 82mm mortar will be and how to fire a direct-fire gun?

[Grach-25sm]

Extremely useful stuff! Therefore, as the main thing for mortar calculation - as soon as possible with ... go from a position until you cover it with "otvetku". So, a hybrid of an automatic 82 mm Cornflower and an armored jeep is just in time. A very effective means of fire support, which is "always at hand." Yes, and BC can carry more. It can be used in raid actions or in the classic version of "hit-back." Imagine, along the entire line of combat contact "flocks" of such machines "work". Impact - moved five to ten kilometers. Again he landed three or four mines. He left again. And so - all night. The enemy’s brains will boil! In addition, in the afternoon, a convoy of relatively small jeeps will not attract attention on public roads. They can be completely disguised as communication machines or even some. This is not a tracked "Carnation" or "Nona-S", which is uniquely identified as military equipment.
But it’s embarrassing for the high location of the mortar itself - will the car tip over when shooting?

If so, the tool will be more universal.
