We are talking about the modification of 2C3M2 "Acacia", since 2C3M was back in 1975.

[Lord of the Sith]

He is more interested in when the tests will pass and will take 2S3M3, which shoots 4 km further to 21,4 km.

Old squalor, well, when will we get rid of it. I hope she will only be armed with the Motorized Rifle Regiments instead of 2с1, and the Tank and Artillery Regiment will receive normal 2с19.

[Lord of the Sith]

That because there are 1800 units, that’s being modernized.

[RASKAT]

Yes, I don’t argue, just with such a policy we (all these 2с1, 2с3,) will continue to modernize and obsolete 30 for another years. And the Coalition will be issued in small series. Although the caliber is the same and the possibilities are ten times greater.

[Lord of the Sith]

I agree, Msta-C1 400 units, by the way they are also being upgraded. I hope the coalition will be in the army this year.

Replacing a radio station and manhole configurations is not an upgrade! Anything from the late adaptation of unsuccessful decisions to the banal cut, but not modernization. Painting is also considered a modernization ??? For self-propelled artillery systems, critical and, accordingly, objects of modernization are completely different parameters. First of all, this is the automation of the fire control system, its presence determines the ACS belonging to modern systems and vice versa - no changes in the hatches and the number of shots will bring the really outdated system to modern realities.

[Lord of the Sith]

Honestly, I didn’t understand what was being upgraded there. Moreover, I was surprised by this news.

[Borik]

Proven years of self-propelled guns. Dill is already in a panic. Rostov is nearby.

Beauty!!! I served as such an "urgent" gun commander! Cool car, reliable, accurate!

I, too, in the late 70s, but not in artillery, .. However!
R / station R-123M (T), as far as I remember, "for communication in motion", was installed ...
In the late 70s, Misha !!!
MB, did the journalists mess up something?

[Hiller]

I was also puzzled .... mb. P-173 after all? 123-rarity ..

[ty60]

Me too. Near Rio de Zhytomyr-Korosten. 916 Sap

[Laksamana besar]

Judging by the described characteristics in the article, the 2С3 self-propelled guns (there are a lot of them in storage) were upgraded to 2С3М and nothing more.

[JD1979]

Those. nor any new systems for the exchange of information, topographic location, OMS and other chips for modern network-centric warfare. Just worked as a grinder and a file.

[Sergey824]

Who writes such dregs ?! Who is the author? This stuff, what's this about? About modernization? Then let me know that you have changed, improved. R-123m is the top of modernization by the author. If you have nothing to say, then be silent! If the goal, tell where they were sent? Just one sentence is enough. Well, not for VCA write?

[Grigory_45]

the R-123 radio station is replaced by the R-123M radio station

what a horror, they put such antiquity and give it out for victory? Now the 168th station is not the last word, but here ... to manage the cookies of the Edrenka .. For everything else - such as a topographic system, satellite navigation, digital LMS and network integration, even asking is unnecessary. Thank you at least for the tube receiver from the 70s. As was "Acacia" "oak", so stay her.

[abc_alex]

I think this is a typo. On a modernized version of "Acacia" put r / s R-173 or R-168. It also replaced the ASUNO and installed a data exchange system with the machine of a senior battery officer.
The new ASUNO equipped with a digital ballistic computer provides automatic aimless aiming at any time of the day. It makes it possible to process and store information on 10 fire missions, as well as transmitting reports to the control machine. There is a modern satellite navigation system. Its presence is indicated by the special antenna available at the rear of the tower.
Machines can be arbitrarily dispersed in the firing position, which significantly removes the risk of injury. ASUNO devices are available both from the vehicle commander, the gunner and the loader.

Or maybe not. Even inclined to the fact that no. 2C3M is a modernization of 1975, and the description as a whole is consistent. The situation could be clarified by photographs of the transferred cars. 2C3M1 (86th year) or higher are distinguished by minor details (sight, antennas, the presence of "Clouds", etc.).

You are talking about 2S3M2. Did they even get into the army?

Awesome news - soon about UAZ with conservation with new tires will begin to write!
