Artillery compounds are amplified by heavy systems.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has begun a large-scale reform of artillery units. Artillery regiments and brigades are armed with Uragan-M1 MLRS, Msta-M2 self-propelled guns and Drones, ultra-high power artillery systems - "Peonies" and "Tulips" are returning, report News.





The military told the newspaper about a change in the structure of artillery formations: “Earlier in the artillery regiments of divisions there were two divisions equipped with self-propelled howitzers and one division of multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) Grad. The same amount of artillery was in the combined arms brigades. From the autumn of this year, divisions of the 220-millimeter Hurricane MLRS began to appear in artillery regiments and brigades.

As military expert Viktor Murakhovsky noted, with the advent of “Hurricanes” “the firepower of the formations increases significantly.”

"Hurricanes" is a universal system. For them, developed a new ammunition - cluster, volumetric explosion, increased range. Also this MLRS can use ammunition from "Grad" caliber 122 mm,
he said.

According to sources in the Ministry of Defense, in the future, the supplied MLRS will be replaced by more advanced Uragan-M1. About this MLRS little is known. However, experts note that “batch loading of launchers using transport-launch containers will significantly increase the rate of fire”. It is known that in the arsenal of the "Hurricane-M1" there are guided missiles. And thanks to the automated control system (ACS) and the onboard computer system, the MLRS can destroy targets in real time without interfering with the calculation.

The rate of fire has increased multiple. Now you can quickly recharge and give not one, but two volleys, without changing positions. Such opportunities are especially in demand in areas where the enemy is actively engaged in counter-battery struggle,
explained Murakhovsky.

In addition, long-distance howitzers “Tulips” and “Peonies” are returned to the connections.
The system's rate of fire has increased multiple, - said Victor Murakhovsky. - Now you can quickly recharge and give not one, but two volleys, without changing positions. Such opportunities are especially in demand in areas where the enemy is actively engaged in counter-battery struggle.

The main trump card of "Tulips" and "Peonies" is powerful projectiles that can hit well-fortified targets. The experience of the conflicts of recent years has shown that 122 mm or 152 mm artillery systems are not effective enough. The capacity of their ammunition is not enough to destroy not only the firing points in urban buildings, but also competently erected field fortifications. For this reason it was decided to return to the army powerful calibers,
told military expert Anton Lavrov.

In addition to long-range howitzers and MLRS artillery brigades and regiments will receive unmanned reconnaissance complexes with automated control systems (ACS). The appearance of an unmanned artillery reconnaissance system (BKAR) “Orlan-10” will seriously affect the tactics of combat.

As reported to the publication in the military, "Orlans" were tested at the end of last year. From the autumn of this year, the complexes began to enter the army.

"BKAR" Orlan-10 "consists of several UAVs, an information analysis and processing station, as well as an automated control system," explained the Ministry of Defense. “The complexes are equipped with miniature radio reconnaissance stations that allow the detection of enemy command posts, firing positions of the MLRS, cannon artillery and communication stations.”

Unmanned systems have become an important tool in modern warfare. They allow you to find targets in real time behind enemy lines. And also seriously save ammunition - the complex allows you to adjust the shooting,
noted Lavrov.

      Volodya, hello! hi I was interested in this moment:
      Hurricanes is a universal system. New ammunition has been developed for them - cluster munitions, surround explosions, and increased ranges. Also, this MLRS can use ammunition from the Grad 122 mm caliber

      This is with the caliber "Hurricane" in 220 mm. How is this implemented? what

      In my opinion, it is not necessary to increase the size of the caliber, but to increase the accuracy of the hit, it would also be desirable for an adequate price. For example, as an analogue of SVP-24 in aviation. Perhaps in 2с35 this idea will be brought to production samples.

        on the contrary, precision is unnecessary, MLRS, unlike artillery, are hit in HUGE areas, here you need a LARGE caliber-length and a CHEAPEST shot. the first is necessary for stuffing cluster munitions, including those with SPBE. For example, a reference point came to you that an enemy is sitting in forest X, with art, you will clear this forest for a long time, but with an MLRS just for one volley at the expense of synergies of explosions you destroy the enemy along with his equipment and forest. Well, in addition, the MLRS needs more long-range and accurate ammunition for destroying enemy bases, but this is "desirable", because the cost of such missiles will be close to the cost of the CR \ BR, which ultimately will kill all the advantages of the MLRS due to stinginess in the consumption of ammunition.

        It’s much more important to just saturate UAV artillery reconnaissance ... Real-time fire correction, without the risk of losing a fire spotter, will give a huge leap in accuracy and reduce ammunition ... and then they will get to GLONAS either from guidance from the UAV. Mina 240mm will allow this to be done.

              A direct hit on target is required. And this can only be achieved by semi-active LGSN and backlight. Well, or other methods of increasing the accuracy of ammunition that uses global positioning data.
              For example, the Italo-German consortium in their Vulkano shells, in a controlled version, install either LGSN or IKGS to destroy point targets. In addition to the control system using inertial data with their correction by GPS

                  The fact is that smaller caliber cope perfectly with firing at squares.
                  The 240 mm mortar is a niche thing. For a simple war, "in the fields" is clearly redundant, although it is armed with a cluster mine.
                  Fighting in cities, in the mountains - i.e. in areas where it is necessary to hit heavily defended targets in places inaccessible to howitzer and especially cannon artillery. For example, on the reverse slopes of heights, in areas with high-rise dense buildings, etc. The second is the defeat of various kinds of fortifications.
                  That is, they are intended to defeat primarily point targets. And here there are two options. Or apply existing correctable mines (and possibly controlled, which still need to be developed). Or carry out a very long shooting at their rate of destruction. Ordinary mines.

                    Did I understand correctly? that the main reason is not the weakness of the power of the 152mm caliber in terms of destruction of the shelter (compared to 240mm), but the trajectory of the projectile along a steeper trajectory. That is, if there is a 152mm mortar and, accordingly, 152mm min, their power will be enough to destroy the same shelters for which the 2C4 Tulip is now used.
