In Syria, a rare Ural-43206 spotted with a rapid-fire cannon

The Syrian army continues to experiment with installing a fast-firing 57-mm C-60 cannon on a different technique, writes Messenger of Mordovia.

So, the other day, fighters from a unit subordinating to the command of the Syrian air force had a gantrack on the basis of the Ural-43206 vehicle.

Previously, such variants of wheeled self-propelled guns were not met. Miass off-road vehicles of this modification were mainly used for towing various artillery systems.

“But in order to become an ACS, it was enough just to remove the sides of the body. Of course, in Syria, such installations are used to destroy ground targets: armored vehicles, vehicles, including those filled with explosives, infantry groups, and engineering structures, ”notes publication author Roman Katkov.

Since extremists today actively use various Drones, then the installation can also be used to destroy them, but only in conditions of good visibility, the author concludes.

not so long ago there was a photo with a gun mounted on a platform of a truck crane .... Syrians are experimenting ... dumbbells in Syria are indispensable

but the kids are trying ... with their devastation ...

This only shows all the drawbacks of towed artillery in modern warfare and the unpreparedness of the armed forces for a large loss of self-propelled artillery. It remains to wait until the big uncles in uniform come up with the idea of ​​moving the gantraki to a new technological level and implementing them on the basis of iso-containers with outriggers and additional elements that facilitate both the shooting itself and the preparation for it.

In the time of Khrushchev, they decided to write off all the "flawed" anti-aircraft artillery and replace it with missiles. It’s good that they were put in storage, but not destroyed, as in Gorbachev’s times. And when in Vietnam it turned out that not all targets were seen by the radar, they remembered about ZA. And the very first entry into battle of the Vietnamese division of ZA ended in the downing of a Phantom scout flying at low altitude, flying around our radars. And many more Merikosovo pilots received medals for captivity, thanks to anti-aircraft artillery. Yes, and now the Shell is working.
So we will not draw conclusions about which we are not asked.

Your argument is stupid and out of place, I did not propose to abandon towed artillery, I am talking about moving to a new level with the same restrictions. That is, to leave a low cost, the possibility of super-long storage at government warehouses, and cheapness, but instead of transporting it on a truck, minimizing the preparation time for shooting and maximizing maneuverability. At the same time, it is possible to save the possibility of towed transportation.

Wow, what is stupidity and why out of place? The artillery damage is your opinion.
Okay, one more stupid thing: the mass of the guns, the vehicle's carrying capacity, system patency, stabilization during the shot. Can still put on the tracks?

no need to lie, especially so close to my post, raise your eyes a little higher and you will see that it was a question of towed artillery, and not artillery in general. It’s you who yourself have filled your head with informational garbage about Khrushchev and copy-paste where you don’t get ...

In your opinion, a truck capable of transporting 15-20 tons, or even 30 (TEU), will not be able to transport a gun weighing 5-7 tons? This was earlier when there were few trucks and when they could only transport miserable 1,5 tons and when there were no artillery radars, it was advantageous to use towed artillery. Today it has changed ...

I understand that in the Syrian Urals, the Yamzov eight under the hood? for a biaxial vehicle it’s a killer symbiosis, the only thing that I don’t like in this Ural is a short base and too much removal of the body for the rear axle. Of course, I understand that it’s much easier to saw off one bridge, but they could still push the bridge back a little, so that with the load it would not sit on the ass. even at the kraz somehow got it on.

My father-in-law 25 years ago bought the army Ural 375 from storage. Immediately shoved the Mazov six into it. Dvigun slow-moving no matter how you try more 70 you can’t uncover. But on the off-road in the taiga, I did not see a more passable car. Sorry I sold it to the leshoz.

Ikskusmi, google all the same six turbocharged, and the hood is elongated campaign because of the installation of the radiator.

It also happens that "a rush for inventions is cunning", one word, Well done !!!

It will swing strongly when shooting ... in white light as a pretty penny (in the case of anti-aircraft fire).

Service carried on such a gun. She nailed to the ground with four wedges, jumping like a frog. You can probably use single shots to suppress snipers, fragmentation shells, but by no means bursts, after 50 shots the barrel heats up so that it is changed to a spare one. There are 6 guns in the battery, one spare barrel, in two years, I had to shoot 3 shells a couple of times. What the fuck Phantoms?
