C-RAM: a dangerous competitor of the Russian "Pantsirya" from the USA

88
C-RAM "Centurion" is a ground version of the famous American naval anti-aircraft complex Mark 15 Phalanx CIWS. The complex is a kind of analogue of the Russian ZRPK "Armor" and is designed to protect quartered army units, military bases, as well as places of deployment of air defense systems and missile defense systems of a large radius of action from air attack weapons.

The six-barrel 20-mm gun M61А1 has two modes of shooting: 4000 and 6000 rounds per minute. However, for a ground modification of the complex, its rate of fire was reduced to 2000 shots / min. At the same time, C-RAM "Centurion" is equipped with high-explosive fragmentation projectiles for greater damage efficiency.



C-RAM "Centurion" is fully automated. The radar complex captures targets, and the computer calculates the most dangerous of them, after which it “leads” them until the moment of destruction.

        As Shipunov said, his eternal memory is "... and this electricity still needs to be found to promote the trunks"
        Everything is right, except for this small-caliber system and ammunition, you need to carry a powerful generator, turbo or diesel, and even a fuel supply to it, in short it is a whole armored train. Our Shilka or Tunguska systems also have a turbogenerator, but of course not so powerful and accordingly, not so stupid, and not so big.
        In addition, our systems lay the programmed dispersion of a volley in order to increase the area of ​​damage, but the pin_dosnyakers fidget with a pointed needle at the target. This is all for a beautiful picture, and the efficiency is tenth.
        Still, swearing at the end there is disgusting.

          And he didn’t say where to get energy for pickup drives? or radar work? Or do they work for us too? The storyteller ... Which does not detract from his role in creating artillery weapons for the ground forces and aviation, but at sea there are now problems in this area because of him.

                I’m uncle and wrote that the turbogenerator on Shipunov’s guns for radars is smaller and eats less, and less because the consumption is less due to the electric drive of the guns. Have you seen it or not? Why problems with Shipunov’s guns? So blurted out?

                  You uncle studied poorly. For the drive of the barrel block of this gun is an engine the size of a starter in a passenger car. those. something about a kilowatt, or even less. The gun works on time - a minute, two overs. For more, there is simply not enough ammunition. What significant energy consumption are we talking about? The drive to turn the turret at the shell is a 5 kilowatt engine. And it doesn’t work for a minute ... Even the rotation drive of the radar antenna of the survey radar is half a kilogram. And this crap is spinning constantly. I still am silent for the lighting, the radar itself, which does not hesitate to grab a dozen kilowatts at a constant .... But on the carapace there are two of them: a review and a target highlight. So with energy savings on the gun’s drive, you can go with the woods at an extra step and take old Shipunov with you. Moreover, the automation of his guns did not do without eoelectricity.

                      They talked about this popularly on TV. When they began to create their own six-barreled gun, they chose between electricity and mechanics. The designer is still alive - his gun has surpassed analogues - they put a “metal cutting” on the ships - because when he approached the problem, he figured out that he needed a powerful generator for an electric drive. There is an electrician - an entire cabinet that needs to be powered - yes. It was a mistake of the Americans - electric drive. Our designer created a machine, based on these eternal principles of Russian reliability of automatic machines, - in fact, American colleagues were fucked up in all poses.

                    connect the computer to radars, to the wind, to humidity - it will shoot three shells, for sure. Unfinished system for today. It is necessary to connect a computer. The computer just gets the target in the codes, these bullets pour in there, from the gun, it’s adjusted for the wind, then yes - three shells will go. And thrashing en masse - with an overabundance of ammunition - is the seventies. - in half a second the computer will process all the data, send it where necessary - to the point that is on its map. The RFP anchor is just a point on planet Earth where a machine gun, an automatic machine shoots, it is a point adjusted for wind, weather, pitching - it is unchanged - the projectile should meet the target, like a warrant officer with a woman on Sevastopol, the beach. Not earlier than later. We actually didn’t get to know the computer — the programmers will be sitting in the ship, they will not run around the decks — they will be wearing glasses — this is the future of the war. And the concept of the 70s - which came from WWII - is a massive solution to the problem - supposedly it raised a thousand planes, 10 returned to the base - the enemy was defeated, - this is not the topic - to fight with cannon fodder, especially military pilots - the computer will do all this - calculate the trajectory - point to destroy. A computer is a box bolted to the same metal cutting machine - the programmer sits in a protected room, on the bridge - he corrects the technique. A rocket flies - an interception point - there comes a turn. The mass of ammunition, the tip "through the eyepiece" - already the last century. The programmer writes codes - which ultimately means the point where shells fly. I strongly doubt that they will get the first time, but we must strive for this, otherwise we have no future. Difference sovr. b.d. , it's like the difference between the eye of a soldier and a computer - which stupidly sends projectiles to this point. The sailors just drink, relax - because there is a point — the positioning of the ship, the missile flying toward it — there is a point where the rocket connects with the shot from the ship — this point is calculated by the computer — it sends shells there — but, not in thousands, but in tens — it leads several goals - destroys them one after another. Not a single code has yet been written for guns - the military do not trust computers - neither in the USA nor in the Russian Federation. They are afraid of something - you have to try, what are you afraid of - this is an extremely important topic, and extremely sensitive. You should choose the path of non-violence - to torture equipment, to fill ships with millions of shells - it helps little in modern times. in

            few priests were planted in military vehicles - otherwise everyone would be beaten. Well, what do you want - the human factor - nerves, a shaft of rockets flies - from s - a soldier seeks to jump out of the car. Let him run - the tribunal will judge - it is necessary to make sure that the shooter transfers everything to the computer, escapes to the bushes, and the equipment already automatically accompanies and destroys everything. I don’t understand - what did you want - living people are sitting in cars, destroying targets. In general, it is not clear how a draftee can shoot it down - a helicopter, shoot down, or a rocket - you just need not to settle down - sit in this car, aim. Do you have enough nerves? Everyone will run away from this machine - because they are the first target, for helicopter pilots - missiles, the first missiles fly into air defense. Nobody wants to die - all living people. As a result, the part remains without cover - yes, they will then give zvizdyule to povoshnikami - and those who are so fucked - they are glad that they remained alive. And the computer - fucked - he is dying, always ready. And the fact that you pissed during the raid - you will bring down one helicopter, they will remember you, 10 helicopters will fly in, take revenge. Therefore, short-range air defense does not shoot at all - because they know that all the pilots will gather, and will think how to kill you. You will become the target of the whole part. Normal perspective? Therefore, it is necessary to transfer all the air defense to computer codes - where you just leave the equipment in the field - it shoots everything. Yes my goddess - on Tunguska you can fasten the server - there is a lot of space. Here comes the raid of aircraft and axes - the programmer set the program, jumped out, sits in a ravine, and this fool shoots back. Herself. This is what we should strive for - a person will always betray - computers, never. The computer will die, (fuse) and complete the task. And people will be alive, and there will be complete peace and prosperity. Everyone will thump and rejoice, and there will come universal happiness and other friendliness.

            199 mm, the sight through the comp - that is, an uncle in Washington directs. My zero turned off - a hundred mm. they have a gun on a truck, a military plane. I respect the Americans - they lick their ass, God - Gundyaev didn’t order - I’ll shoot on occasion, a couple of these fat people - but alas, my health is not good - I strongly doubt that I have a future at all. Local airborne troops - they respect me - they see someone else, commander, who will lead them - and where to lead them? Only to the slaughterhouse. Create moves - they will simply crawl out, shoot back and crawl out into the holes. Who needs such a war? This is our dirty black soil, just the perfect plot - I am leading the Airborne Forces into battle. Yes, you go to x .. They see me as a captain - but I, a naval officer - I was kicked out of school - a couple of rounds were stolen there. Stop getting smart - but how. Save yours - for these fat, sleeping Airborne Forces, I will protect their interests - fraternal bonds. I love them. I am not telling people what they should experience - just when the war starts - these people will come together. And they consider me a hero, some kind of cap. We are like madness - me and the Airborne Forces. Found fools. But themes, weapons of our army, are closer to me than psychology. Our army is invincible a priori. Otherwise, there is no sense in them - I want to connect all aviation and page reserve rates to a single computer. system - break everyone - all the armies of the world. How am I going to do this? Parts will be guarded by programmers who will write codes - not a single code has yet been written for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation ........... Vryatli I can help - this is my fanatical principle - to transfer the army to artillery, morphlot, airborne forces, on electronics. Under the project - a trillion - this is my fanatical goal of life. I understood this by working out the behavior patterns of the troops, under different conditions — their weaknesses, their merits .. When I die, I want to have defenders, cleaners — but not suckers in the Russian Federation — armah.

        Competitor, but with a different ideology. If our shell is built around a lesion system, then this system is built around a tracking system. An accurate, powerful gun that has the ability, unlike the shell, and metal cutters, to carry out a LONG-TERM SIGHTING FIRE. This concept in the pluses counts very high efficiency when working for small targets in the near field, but much less versatility compared to the same shell.

      The M61A1 has masterpiece trunks, which allowed for a completely different ideology in the approach to hitting targets. In fact, the sniper accuracy of the barrel and precise aiming drives make it possible to accurately send the projectile to the target. In our complexes, because of the shitty accuracy of the tables, they went along the path of increasing the mass of the volley and additional displacement of the barrels in the packet at a slight angle, due to which a certain “fan” of shells flies out of the packet, forming in front of the target a kind of cloud into which the latter should fly, but the probability is far from absolute.

The real range of work on RCC is up to 1000m what we have, what they have. What do you think that the operating mode of our marine ZAKs 200-200-200-on-melt-to-end-hopper from a good life is taken? Or do we have seconds longer? ROY .... Damn this is a masterpiece! But how do you think our system swallows down? and what is ROY? And how does the guidance system capture the swarm? maybe all the same a separate goal in the "swarm"? Something I have never read about the possibility of capturing a "spherical horse."

                  They made fun ... Americans fanned PR, and someone believes. Super trunks ensure the accuracy of the first shell, and then it will spit like the AKashechka. And as a ship system, I am focused on the fight against large anti-ship missiles only through installation on the platform I began to struggle with shells and mortar mines.

              The AK-630 as a whole is not a very successful gun, we tried to correct the situation by creating the “Roy” and “Duet” sparks, but it was not possible to solve the problem of unsatisfactory extinction until the end. In general, the Broadsword even in a complete set without missiles is much more effective than 2 AK-630s. Due to own SU. The "dagger" in its first performance is also unsuccessful, it could not shoot through targets that were not shot down by its own missiles, not to mention the dimensions and weight of the complex itself. As a result, they planned to abandon him and put the "Dagger" + AK-630, which is clearly seen from the sketches of promising ships of the late 80's.

          And let's make it simpler - and if there is a “slight inaccuracy” in the calculations of the meeting point between the target and the shells, and the speeds of both the shells and the “target” are huge, then the “over-accurate” shot will be “extremely accurate” and will miss only half a meter (let's say ) and in a second the “target” will turn the guarded object into a pile of smoking ruins. good
          Whereas setting up a “cloud” of shells increases the chances of destroying the “target” even with problems with calculations, “delaying the passage of the signal," and even time to shoot. good
          In general, the phrase “allows a sniper shot” to “targets” flying at super sonic speed is not applicable. negative To these idiots read that a sniper (almost) never shoots at a running target.

A "phalanx", as they wrote, due to increased automation, reduced the reaction time to 1 second. In short, they created a robot gun.

          Volley "Cornflower" in the prepared calculation of 100-120 rds. / Min. In the affected area 1 mine will be located for about 5 seconds. according to which C-RAM will release about 150 shells, but during this time another 9 shells will fly into the zone. In this case, the trajectories of all will be different (even due to natural scatter). Even sadder with RZSO missiles. The Grad package fires in 20 seconds. 40 shots. The missile will be in the affected area for 2 seconds. and flight paths are scattered even more.

      The loud title of the article is apparently taken over from the American media, in fact there is nothing common with our complex. The latest version of the Shell-SM has increased ranges: 1 - missile damage up to 40 km, 2 - detection up to 75 km, the ability to intercept ballistic missiles. I do not see this in the American version. IMHO, the Americans, seeing the effectiveness of the Shell in Syria, hastily gathered from an outdated by all standards ship-based complex (38 years in service with the Navy) do not understand that, laundered the money as always. Even the base of the tower has not been converted to a tractor, the bulky and heavy construction, these days with the development of electronics - is absolutely not justified. I would not even be surprised that the installations were taken from decommissioned ships and put on the chassis of an army tractor (they didn’t even repaint the complexes on video - IMHO there is no disguise — it catches the eye). They are not protected from air attacks at all, there are no anti-aircraft missiles. Efficiency? Excuse me where ... But it doesn’t need it, the Arabs do not have any planes .... Or that it will be necessary to put an anti-aircraft missile defense system nearby? IMHO - this is a shame for the entire US military-industrial complex system and the Americans themselves have shown this to us. Smart people will run to buy Armor, but politicians do not differ in mind ...

      You can call him a competitor with a stretch, the fact is that: -
      1. There are no missiles, but there is still a big difference between artillery, especially quick-fire and missiles.
      2. The dimensions of the entire C-Ram installation are much larger than our Carapace.
      3. Our Carapace can do all the “exercises” on the go, can it be C-Ram?
      4. With a range in height of 1470 meters, a competitor is also a problem for low-flying low-speed ones, but for supersonic or hyper ... just not low-speed ones, huh?

      Volcano-Phalanx is a good system. Very heaped, with a revolutionary type of guidance - along the path своих shells, but in modern conditions is not very suitable precisely because of the caliber. Modern supersonic cruise missiles are in the radar's field of view for a very short time and have a protected warhead for breaking through a concrete wall / earthen rampart / side of the ship. Even with a partially damaged body, which is enough for a 20mm projectile, it is kinetically capable of causing a lot of harm. The 30mm cannon of the “shell” (AK-630 etc.) has twice the long range and the power of ammunition, which makes it possible to destroy the target. For the sea, they already have to build “Duets” (“Palms”, “Daggers”) to increase the density of fire in the entrance window.
      There are questions about this installation, as have to "swing" whole complex - ammunition, gun, radar - on board you need to carry a powerful generator. Solvable, of course. And yet - the vertical dimension is very large, I'm not sure that it can be transported by rail or by air without disassembling. Even tunnels for the “on their own” method will not all work. Even on a semi-trailer, it is high.

      The CCP (China) did a great job - like the "paper war" as the Russian Federation conducts, but they transported several divisions by electric trains, high-speed trains, trucks, large airplanes - they gathered the whole army, over a week, along the Amur borders. Then they carried out the same action, but "on paper" - against the United States. There is a naval war, it doesn’t work out in kind. The headquarters conducted an OS, and came to the conclusion that the US Army, with any superiority, is not capable of fighting. This is a very weak army - when it is a landing operation, they capture Iraq, Afghanistan - what the hell did they capture there - they sit in the basements, like they defeated all Arabs. The CCP has come to the conclusion that forecasting a war with the United States is a completely rotten topic, because a US soldier, where they removed even physical exercises, for the sake of feminism, is not capable of capturing anything. If the Russians are from the continent, then the war with them is unpredictable, then with the United States there is just a landing operation, it will end with the mass dismissal of these fat men. Another option is that they would defend their Tennessee, Texas - and in the attack, they will not fight. Since Texas has never been attacked - never, they will all be taken warm. Thoughts aloud, according to the results of the teachings of the Chinese. They won’t even get "Vietnam" there, and they won’t even have time to chew on it when the bd will move to the USA itself. What will happen to the attack on the Russian Federation - after the Chechens, Georgians, now Ukrainians - is unpredictable. The continent can give such a return that they, on their islands, will take care of their problems - only curtail these, like Merkel, the macron and its women. The continent belongs to the continents, and not for anything to profit from and nothing to blow. They are smart - they have enough small, not expensive hints. Like those that they have all the satellites - spies fall. All the headquarters for the capture of the Continent will be “blinded” - then they will start to think, but with ass, but with their heads - stop joking. "pulling a tiger by the tail" is a fun pastime, but patience is not eternal.
