In the Russian Federation developed a projectile with a jet engine

In Russia, a new artillery shell is being developed, which, more than 2 times, will increase the firing range of domestic self-propelled and towed guns, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

“By the time of putting it into service, it will not only significantly surpass the ammunition currently used, but will be at the level of the best foreign prospective developments,” the material says.

It is expected that the new product will appear in 2-x variants, one of which will have a caliber 152 mm.

According to experts, this will allow it to be used both on promising howitzer 2C35 "Coalition-SV", and on already used self-propelled installations "Msta-S" and towed guns "Msta-B".

According to some data, it is also planned to create a version of the projectile in caliber 203 mm for self-propelled guns “Malka” and “Peony”.

According to the newspaper, the firing range of 70 and more kilometers will be achieved “by adding an ammunition design with a straight-through rocket engine of the bottom or head location: the engine turns on some time after the shot, at the moment when the projectile is already stabilized by rotation, and increases its speed by trajectories.

Military experts suggest that to increase accuracy, the ammunition will be equipped with special modules of satellite guidance.

This development was demonstrated during the Army-2017 forum at the booth of the Baltic State Technical University "Voenmekh" named after D.F. Ustinov.

There is, but in the article, as I understand it, we are talking about shells for howitzers, since "Coalition-SV", "Msta-S", "Malka" and "Peony" are already mentioned.

[Zhelezyakin]

Apparently yes. One of the options is just 152 mm. However, not a word about the second size ...

[Jedi]

Let’s wait until the work is completed - then we will find out with what this shell is eaten and from whom they shoot with such a shell.

[Svarog51]

Lesha, Max greet you luminiferous warriors.
On the MBT, a guided missile is used - essentially the same ATGM launched through the barrel. And there is an armor-piercing sub-caliber - this is an ordinary projectile, not rocket. Yes, and tank caliber 125 mm. And these shells for large-caliber artillery are self-propelled and towed. Designed to increase the range and accuracy of the lesion. Something like this.

The idea is not new. For a long time there was already an active rocket. With a very significant increase in range, his accuracy dropped sharply, and his range increased. Now this idea has reached a new level - the correction of the trajectory in flight is involved. Let's see what happens in the end. But the cost will be clearly not comparable with a conventional projectile.

Here is something else, a projectile with a ramjet nozzle for a large caliber. We have in our nomenclature a 152-mm 3BV3 nuclear shell (Msta-S, Acacia, Hyacinth), a 203-mm 3BV2 nuclear shell (Peony), a 240-mm 3BV4 nuclear mine (Tulip). Everyone has a range of 18 km, only Peony has 18 to 30. If you add an engine and reach a range of 70 to 100 km, then a very scary weapon turns the barrel artillery into something more.

In general, all these ARSs are ordinary toys of big brutal boys for "popping in that direction." Waste of money and resources.
Tactical missiles are capable of fulfilling the same task, and without any particular strain in the form of the need to pack everything into a shell of a fixed size, moreover under the condition of automatic loading.

[Zhelezyakin]

Yab said only the complexity of the wagon. TTRD has one mode, it is easier to start it than the PRD. Support too. The design is simpler, read more reliable. If you bother with the topic of UARS, I am for TRD.

Alex, welcome The technology of fueling equipment is different, maybe they are considering it. The shells are experimental. Pouring liquid fuel is easier than solid. And there you know what will happen next.

[Zhelezyakin]

Solid fuel is equipped at the plant, but liquid fuel is a question. They can also be in position. Just as for me, ammunition from the warehouse, ready for use, so to speak, is more profitable.

[Svarog51]

God forbid, pour liquid fuel into the projectile, fill all the production only in the factory. It is only on mortar mines that additional charges are hung. About solid fuel I only know that it should be homogeneous and evenly distributed in the tank so that it burns correctly.

Well, no, increasing the range of the barrel artillery is, of course, very good. But not at the same price.
Option one is uncontrollable. Requires high precision jet engine performance. What will make such a projectile more expensive than a guided one.
The second option is managed. It requires an engine and control equipment, firstly, very, very compact, and secondly able to withstand high loads when fired. What will make such a projectile more expensive than a tactical missile with a similarly powerful action when the target is a warhead.

No, not cheaper. Each product has its own technical specifications, it has a price and technological costs. Stabilization system. The system of shooting the spent stage and weighting the product and adding dimensions. Also, part of the energy of the first stage goes to the first stage itself. The receiver only has a charge, well, there’s a sleeve. Stabilization due to rotation due to rifling of the barrel. Direct-flow taxiway is very simple and cheap, it makes it possible to get away from the ballistic trajectory in the barrel artillery. The nozzle easily upgrades ready-made shells. A large number of self-propelled guns and howitzers standing in service receive superpowers for striking power, their survivability increases due to the range of application. And so forth

Cheaper. Because for a tactical missile, dimensions are not particularly important. Unlike shells, where the dimensions are as tight as possible. It is enough to recall the dances with tambourines around the UAS "Krasnopole" of the first series, which had to be done by teams, and then started by means of special belts in the breech 2C19. And in the "Coalition" in general, fully automatic loading, without the possibility of a manual option.

Is not a fact. For the same Bassoon / Competition missiles, the first stage / booster engine remains in the TPK

Quote: hrych

Modern UAS have already moved away from the ballistic trajectory even without any engines. Like, for example, Krasnopole. Well, any engine is absolutely unnecessary weight after working out the active section. Which drags a rocket or projectile on itself only so that it does not drop them on the heads of its troops.

[hrych]

To put it another way, there are tactical missiles, there are MLRS, but the barrel artillery was in stagnation, it occupied its niche in the range of 18 km, well, under 30, that's all. In modern warfare it has become an anachronism, with direct fire it has nothing to do, anti-tank missiles rule there. The anti-tank work was taken away. In the overseas, unemployment is also due to missiles. Okay, self-propelled guns, but the same towed howitzers and large-caliber mortars, cheap and a lot of them, well, were left completely without work. And then a second wind, and nuclear shells, and range, and cheapness. In short, give the trunks a job

[Lopatov]

Quote: hrych

Tanks are also "in stagnation", because they do not know how to shoot at 70 km 8)))
In general, the receiver has a completely different niche. Moreover, in modern conditions, it should shoot at the minimum possible range with a minimum charge.
Otherwise, the C-RAM class radars already in service will be warned by the enemy unit that is firing, long before the first group of shells arrives. Such systems are already operating in Afghanistan.
That is, it is necessary to minimize flight time, otherwise the effectiveness of the fire will be reduced.

But this is a good idea. If I understand correctly, they work simultaneously.

A tactical missile will accomplish the same task much cheaper. It is practically unlimited in size, it has a much softer start in terms of congestion, and so on. Including the possibility of using promising warheads such as the fragmentation-thermobaric fragmentation patented by Alloy
You do not forget the dimensions of the projectile - a fixed thing. And each "refinement", even a powder checker, to reduce the bottom effect, "steals a degree". That is, it reduces the power of action at the goal. And then a guided projectile, and even with an engine on the nose ...

The reasoning does not at all take into account the “universality” of artillery! "Your" tactical missile, "practically unlimited in size" (and weighing, for example, approx. 3 tons), with an 500 kg warhead, where (when) will it be used? Or maybe it’s easier to assume when it will not be used: against a “lonely” tank, a machine-gun “nest” ...? And for art, this is a nice thing! But artillery cannot hit targets at a distance, for example, in 70 km ... put on tactical missiles. That is: both artillery and missiles. And this is a complication of the structure, an increase in the number of troops (and demographic problems?), A complication of logistics, an additional item of expenditures in the defense budget .. Of course, I will exaggerate the "topic" to a certain extent, but if you try to make out the "rational kernel" ?. Should a greater emphasis be placed on increasing the combat effectiveness of artillery? To give her the opportunity to hit some targets "characteristic" of tactical missiles? There will be no need (in some cases) for the troops to have both artillery and missile systems. The presence of missile systems causes the enemy special interest and close attention, concern ... with all the "ensuing" consequences. Artillery can have a very diverse "assortment" of ammunition ... creating, producing a new ammunition is cheaper, easier than a tactical missile warhead .. "hide "artillery equipment is simpler than a fuel dispenser ... because of the greater availability of artillery in the troops, tracking the entire artillery is very problematic ...

[Lopatov]

Quote: Nikolaevich I

That is: artillery and rockets.

Only artillery. In her submission there is also a MLRS. Which are great for tactical missiles. There, in general, when firing at long ranges, the use of guided RSs is preferable, including in terms of saving ammunition.
Here, for example, such a common task as the defeat of the columns. In its implementation, it is necessary or to use RS with SPBE, which are no less expensive than managed. Or try to find a stretch of road perpendicular to the direction of fire (at MLRS at large ranges, the dispersion ellipse is “deployed”, the dispersion in the direction is greater than in range). Or apply managed, which will create a beautiful "dotted line" that repeats the "line" of the road.

In relation to the barrel artillery, there is no need for these “frills” with super-range at such a price, at the cost of reducing the power of action at the target

[BAI]

And why do you need an artillery gun with a firing range of 70 km with an unguided projectile?

1. The first stage - shooting at remote areas.
2. The second stage is the development of homing.
An example is the reincarnation of Tornado in a Tornado.
Not all at once.

[Zaurbek]

to destroy point targets at long ranges (such as air defense and radar, com points, jump airfields)

[Romanenko]

Most likely, a busy lesson will use it. Storage “with a full tank” probably will not work, and refueling before firing is a rather rhetorical question, even with a clear from 152 mm, you won’t attach a normal tank lid with a filling neck to it.
It’s probably possible to make an internal tank that is shot when fired, but another topic arises. A fuel system, an orientation-guidance unit, and once guidance, steering machines and, where to go, power sources, will be added to the usual projectile loading.
In the standard body of the projectile, the space for explosives will become much less, increasing the projectile we seek the need to make changes to the design of the guns ... and went one after another to lead to a common denominator ...
I think so far such a hoe is not very feasible in mass production, and it can probably be replaced by traditional missiles operating at ranges up to 100 km.
There, all that is required is present and engines and rudders and fuel, and most importantly not in such cramped conditions.
Is it worth it?

Everything is simpler, there is a jet stream, there are gas-dynamic rudders, the nozzle is not large, the same ATGMs and MANPADS have modest dimensions and solve the guidance problems successfully. In the case of the nuclear option, all this is not necessary, only an increase in range is needed.

Big heads are sitting there, everyone will calculate, especially the number of nuclear shells, as the Soviet legacy will make a decision. A rocket is always expensive, both the product itself and the features of use, transportation and storage. Artillery is always cheaper, more reliable, more compact. The number of shots is always in favor of the barrel. Even the use of MLRS is much more expensive than cannabis ... Yes, the price of the shell will increase, but it will not even reach the shot of the MLRS, not like a tactical missile.

If it is not 2,5 kilotons then yes. Unfortunately, in the nomenclature of the MLRS there are no nuclear ones, and this is very relevant today, both against NATO and against neighbors in the East. We still do not forget about towed howitzers without any protection, which would be very resistant to enemy fire from the front and vice versa.

[SpaceCom]

Let’s forget about the “GLONASS capabilities”, especially in conjunction with the use of nuclear weapons. When it comes to all the satellite signals will be drowned out in FIG!

[Tektor]

Here you are immediately considering the war with NATO. And for a war with any other enemy, a guided range projectile on which the enemy cannot answer will guarantee victory !!!
Well, the question, of course, is the cost of guided ammunition: without correction, controlled by GLONASS, controlled by a map of the area, such as TERCOM. Because, spending a missile with a range of 500 km on a target of 100 km does not make sense if the cost of the Malki shell is 5 or more times cheaper than a missile.

[SpaceCom]

Firstly, I do not propose a rejection of the correction. At a distance of 100 km (flight time of about 100 s), any inertial navigation system will provide the required accuracy.
Secondly, it became terribly interesting to me, what kind of country is this where the use of ammunition of such a caliber at such a range is required with a guarantee of the absence of a retaliatory strike? Moreover, a country that is not a developed country that is not able to drown out (or even correct) a satellite navigation signal.

There is probably no tank there, but the charge on a 203mm projectile is powerful and can be reinforced ....

[Zhelezyakin]

The ramjet means the presence of a tank with liquid fuel ...

[Zaurbek]

or TT ....
The engine consists of a combustion chamber into which air enters from the diffuser and fuel from the fuel nozzles. The combustion chamber ends with the entrance to the nozzle, usually tapering-expanding.

With the development of mixed solid fuel technology, it began to be used in ramjet. A fuel checker with a longitudinal central channel is placed in the combustion chamber. The working fluid, passing through the channel, gradually oxidizes the fuel from its surface, and heats itself. The use of solid fuel further simplifies the ramjet design: the fuel system becomes unnecessary. The composition of the mixed fuel for ramjet differs from that used in solid rocket engines. If for the latter most of the fuel is an oxidizing agent, then for ramjet fuel it is added only in a small amount to activate the combustion process. The bulk of the ramjet mixed fuel filler is finely divided aluminum, magnesium or beryllium powder, the heat of oxidation of which significantly exceeds the calorific value of hydrocarbon fuels. An example of a solid propellant ramjet can be a marching engine of the P-270 Mosquito anti-ship cruise missile.

Ramjet means the presence of a tank with liquid fuel ..

Not necessary ! There is a ramjet with a "solid" gas generator.

[b] According to some reports, it is also planned to create a version of the projectile with a caliber of 203 mm for the self-propelled guns “Malka” and “Peony.” [/ b ... I wonder if this projectile will fly 100-120 kilometers?

At such a range, definitely, it will be cheaper to make a missile. Though not controlled (but why?), Even managed. Well. and the Germans, in World War I, for a range of 120 km made (or rather, built) a 150 mm gun.

[Zaurbek]

Well, the rocket is initially more expensive ... and in the projectile the main pulse comes from a charge in the cartridge case ... and the head + stands equally ... In the West, just barrel artillery is more common than MLRS ... if they make a shell, they will make a rocket for MLRS. Most importantly, they managed to put the electronics in 152mm (in the west they put it in 130mm and try to 105mm).

[Zaurbek]

There is also the concept of BPS with ramjet ... the charge accelerates the blank to 1500-1700 m / s and the ramjet catches up to 2500-3000 m / s and over the entire range the speed only increases .... and penetration increases 1,5-2 times

So the answer to Escaliburu appeared. The whole question is when it will be delivered to the army.

[voyaka uh]

No. Escalibur has a GOS. He hits for sure. But it costs $ 50,000.

Really? "Escalibur" was created according to the program. Where the satellite correction was planned, but without the GOS! True, it seems, then a “desire” appeared to equip Part (!) Of the “escaliburs” with an additional (!) Semi-active laser seeker ...

This is the influence of the Italo-German family of volcanoes. In the "basic" version of the ANN with correction according to the ZhPS. Plus, depending on the task being performed, it is possible to install either a semi-active laser "head" or passive IR before a shot.
The Americans decided to follow the same path. That is, not the "part", but all the shells will allow the installation of LGSN

[Nikolaevich I]

I do not understand what my previous comment contradicts to the American Wishlist? Excalibur is produced (made) in several modifications (“blocks”). Used by Americans from 2007, Excaliburs have (had) only GPS corrections! And only in 2014 did Raytheon offer the warriors the Excalibur S modification with an additional (!) Laser GSN. But, for example, I am not aware of the use of this modification in real combat conditions ... about the added "laser option" NOW available " Excaliburs of "previous modifications" heard "... but only" heard "(!) ... because there is no reliable information that the Americans have already used (are using) such artillery shells somewhere ...

I do not understand how my previous comment contradicts the American "Wishlist"?

There is a big difference between the production of a part of the CSS with LGSN and the ability to install LGSN on any of the “new version” shells.

[Nikolaevich I]

I am forced to repeat: there is no real information that the Americans have already used, factory, “US with LGSN” or “optional” shells with “freshly installed” L-modules ... And as for the “Excaliburs” with only GPS information on combat use, there is enough .

[Lopatov]

There’s just now some strife in this area. Promises to drastically reduce the cost of the US Escalibur remained promises. The Italo-German group created the CSS, significantly surpassing the "Escalibur" in its characteristics and capabilities. Well, to everything else, a relatively cheap, though less accurate control module appeared, screwed onto the place of an ordinary projectile fuse appeared.
As a result, the US military took the position of Buridan's donkey. Well, and accordingly, the "effective" from Raytheon are trying to push them in the right direction. As far as I know, there have been no new orders for their superfood;

[Nikolaevich I]

Yes, you're right .... unfortunately no one on the page mentioned the PGK module! In some ways, Americans can understand ... "one thing" - the "factory" "Excalibur" with a bottom gas generator and other gadgets ... on the "other side" - they offer some kind of "homemade" to use ... the module in an old shell screw in (!). And the usual "conservatism" - what? On the side?
PSIf you continue to compare "with us" and "with them", it is worth mentioning that in Russia, prior to the mentioned artillery shell "with ramjet" there were (are) developments similar to the American ones ... These are modified Krasnopol, Gran "with" added "GPS correction ... Dynamics module ...

[Lopatov]

With him, everything is very difficult. In the old version, its KVO is 50 meters, in the new version - 30 meters.
The D-30 howitzer, shooting with absolutely uncontrolled shells, has a limit of Vd equal to 28 meters and Wb equal to 11 meters (firing at full charge at a maximum range of 15300)

[voyaka uh]

Bottom boosters increase range but decrease accuracy.
Usually they are used together with GOS and flight-correcting wings.
That allows you to shoot far and accurately, but raises the price 10 times.

Please: - Shells with ramjet engine (ramjet), which, according to foreign experts, will significantly increase the firing range of artillery pieces. Their main advantage is that the oxygen necessary for the combustion of fuel is taken directly from the air. However, they are complex in design and expensive. According to foreign press reports, in the USA in the beginning of the 80-s, they started work on the AIFS (Advanced Indirect - Fire System) program, which provides for the creation of a high-precision long-range projectile of 203,2 mm caliber with ramjet, which provides firing at a range of up to 70 km. Designed primarily to combat tanks, it will be equipped with a homing head and cluster warhead.

That is, as a result, they refused in favor of GMLRS, which were developed since 1987. And the already unnecessary and unpromising SG was removed from service. Following the Germans, replacing the 110th with MLRS
