Coalition-SV will go into series in 2020

Serial deliveries to the Russian army of the new self-propelled howitzer “Coalition-SV” can begin in the 2020 year after the completion of state tests, Interfax reports, citing an informed source.

Completion of state tests "Coalition" is expected by the end of 2019 - the beginning of 2020, followed by the adoption of

- he said.

Within the framework of the “Coalition-SV” project, three products have been developed - self-propelled artillery on a tracked and wheeled chassis, as well as a loading and unloading machine. In this case, the loading machine has already passed state tests.

10 self-propelled howitzers "Coalition-SV" received on military tests First tank army (Moscow region).

"Coalition-SV" is intended for the destruction of command posts, communications centers, artillery and mortar batteries, armored vehicles, including tanks, anti-tank weapons, air defense and anti-missile defense systems, enemy manpower. The basis of firepower is the 2X88 152 mm caliber gun with a firing speed of more than 10 rounds per minute, which is higher than other artillery systems.
It is expected that the "Coalition-SV" will be equipped with separate artillery brigades.

Chic self-propelled guns. I envy you for good.

[Pivot]

Noble howitzer, but still old systems full of modernization. I think it’s not soon that we will completely turn to it unfortunately.

[andy.v.lee]

On the chassis of "Almaty" - that’s it!

[Pivot]

God forbid that we had more such weapons.

[Lord of the Sith]

I prefer the comparative characteristics of Msta-C1 and Coalition-SV

[Pivot]

Oh, these comparisons. Both guns are good, firing range is such a slippery topic.

[Albert1988]

Quote: Pivot

Both guns are good, firing range is such a slippery topic.

Once there was an infa that the coalition made a new line of shells that simply "do not climb" in the MSTU. Well, the ballistics of the barrel itself are better there. Well and most importantly - the coalition has a fully automatic charge, and the MSTA only charges the projectile itself - the powder charge has to be supplied to a person and hands ...

[Pivot]

Time will tell.

Borders need border guards. And the guns have already been placed at the border once. The Germans then fought almost the entire war on them. And at the beginning of the war, the Wehrmacht, it was almost the only field guns, which were in the teeth and T-34 and KV-1. No need to repeat mistakes.

with 20th_et is normal, along with the modernization of all previous artillery systems, in general is tolerable. I’ve been more excited by the soul of the “fool”, it’s not fate that is visible.

[Albert1988]

Quote: Valentine

How can it appear: "children without detected sores?"

But what about the "sores" of new shells? After all, a new self-propelled gun is, first of all, a new barrel and new shells for it, to shoot old ones is to use not even 50% of the potential of the new artillery system.

[Valentinne]

"After all, the new self-propelled guns is primarily a new barrel and new shells for it"
Who told you that?
The new self-propelled gun is in the first (and second) turn a new self-propelled gun.
Under the old, which dofiga in warehouses, shells.
To get new shells in the right amount you need to spend many hundreds of billions and tens of years.
They waved sticks out of thin air in warehouses.
And if you constantly develop new weapons with new shells, then not only we will not have enough money, but even the Shtatovs with their printing press.

And you just said stupidity. With a smart look. AND

Quote: Valentine

... right how many

With what I congratulate you

[Valentinne]

I will not follow your example and banter on you.
Just ask three questions.
1 Shells for Msta-S and Coalition are different?
2 How insignificant is the quantity of new shells in the warehouses and how much will this minuscule increase in the future?
3 What does the quote say to you: “Coalition-SV uses existing and new ammunition samples?”
And a bunch to load you

[Golovan Jack]

Quote: Valentine

Just ask two questions.

Both questions are stupid.
There is no such thing as a "shell separately," there is a concept of "shot." This is a shell and a charge.
Msta has a charge in the sleeve, while the Coalition has a charge in a cap (or cap).
I doubt very much that the MoH of the Coalition will "digest" the sleeve.
In this way, the answer to the first question is yes, different.
The answer to the second question is how much will be needed, so much will be done. Tea, not a ballistic missile.
But before that, the shells must be adopted, and for this - bring to mind.

Quote: Valentine

I will not follow your example and mock you

Yes, for the sake of everything - follow, a flag in your hands ... if there is enough pull

[Valentinne]

They decided to depict an ostrich and not notice the question: “What does the quote say to you:“ Does the Coalition-SV use existing models of ammunition so new? ”?
Everything is clear with you.
With such a "specialist" I have nothing to talk about.
All the best.

[Golovan Jack]

Quote: Valentine

All the best

Then piss off...
Take your quote (from SVPress, as I understand it?), Take it for yourself.
Journalists, they are ... journalists

[Albert1988]

Quote: Valentine

Who told you that?

Just read, it’s possible on the VO directly about what modern artillery systems are - you’ll understand that the projectile there - gives at least 50% of all possibilities, so the same German Pzh-2000 has a range of 70 km due to a special projectile, accuracy is such distances are also achieved through adjustable ammunition.

Quote: Valentine

The new self-propelled gun is in the first (and second) turn a new self-propelled gun.

Sorry. but the phrase is meaningless, it’s like saying that a car is a car, only a car is a body, a suspension, an engine, a clutch and another 100500 important units and assemblies from which it is made up, just like a gun consists of two important components - barrel and shell.

Quote: Valentine

Under the old, which dofiga in warehouses, shells.

Ours already pierced with MSTO — they made the charging chamber completely under the old 152mm shells and it turned out that there was almost no possibility to use new shells — they didn’t climb corny in length, and the sleeve also didn’t climb new - so you can’t use heavier shells . As a result, according to many characteristics, the MSTA loses with the latest Western self-propelled guns.

Quote: Valentine

"Coalition-SV" uses existing ammunition samples and the new "?"?

Uses, only using old shells in a coalition is like shooting musket ball-shaped bullets from a rifle - I think the analogy is very clear. Moreover, the shell is old, but the powder charge for it is new, as a friend wrote to you - a cap, and the number of cap can vary depending on the situation. But in history there have been cases when old shells fired from more modern guns using a new, more powerful powder charge, "behaved" not quite as we would like: for example. There are cases when old armor-piercing shells, when they were fired from newer guns, simply cracked on the armor without piercing it, while if they fired from old guns, this was not observed.
So new shells are very important and, naturally, they will be made actively, and the barrel and its carriers will take into service when the new shells are already in mass production, at least it’s not necessary to wait until they accumulate 100500 million on warehouses)

[Valentinne]

I will not spread the thought like you.
I’ll just ask: why are new machines made under the old cartridge?
Probably because ammo in dofig warehouses and replacing them with new ones costs a lot of money and time?
And why do you think that replacing shells for self-propelled guns just spit and you just want to?
If in all warehouses stocking up new shells that are suitable only for the Coalition, then at the price it will become not gold, but diamond, and by weight of the self-propelled guns.
ps especially for Golovan Jack - he wrote this with a smart look.

[Albert1988]

Quote: Valentine

I’ll just ask: why are new machines made under the old cartridge?

I’ll tell you a big secret - cartridges for small arms have not fundamentally changed from the very beginning of the 20th century, and even a new cartridge can be entered into the dimensions of the “old”, but an artillery shell is a very complicated product and if you compare the shell of the beginning of the 20th century with a shell of the beginning of the 21st, it will be completely different shells, both internally, to a large extent and externally.

Quote: Valentine

And why do you think that replacing shells for self-propelled guns just spit and you just want to?

I just DO NOT think so, that's why I am writing - that until new shells go into mass production - they will not accept a new gun for service. And yes - in order for something to develop and improve in the army - you need to really want and then work a lot on it, otherwise, following your words, you still need to fight with kernels and smoke powder until now - there’s something new so far in the warehouses will appear in due quantity ...

Quote: Valentine

If in all warehouses stocking up new shells that are suitable only for the Coalition, then at the price it will become not gold, but diamond, and by weight of the self-propelled guns.

Again, it makes no sense - in the first ALL modern weapons are extremely expensive - the times of cheap and simple 34-k have passed irrevocably, alas, in the second I repeat - the coalition is quite capable of firing and old shells really with a new powder charge - please read carefully that I tell you I write in past comments - this will not make it super expensive. Well, an important detail - the shells for the new coalition will be stocked up gradually, and as old systems, such as acacia and MSTA, are removed from service, they will gradually displace old shells.
I repeat - it’s quite possible to shoot old coalitions from a coalition, only this will use up to half of its potential.

[sib.ataman]

Regarding the cartridge, you got excited. How many different weapons were made and in different countries under a 7,62 mm parabelum cartridge? A lot of.
The cartridge changes when the concept of using a weapon page changes. A new weapon is developed under the old cartridge, if they are not satisfied with some parameters, for example: Mosin rifles, ABC, SVT, etc. - and all one cartridge.
If it is stated that all available b / ws can be used, then it’s not easy to dog, then it means that there is also a cap and case loading, and how, then Kulibins!

Do not forget that specialists need to be trained and trained by crews, among other things, statistics should be generated on various systems and much more, which is part of the military test program.

no one argues that the whole range of measures is necessary ... but, in fact, the "Coalition" is not the first self-propelled guns in the Russian army, so there are achievements ... and it seems to me that the main reason for the not so quick introduction into serial production is financing ...

[Albert1988]

Not only financing - they may not keep up with the development of the entire line and production of ammunition - they could already have time to test the old ones, but if there are no new ones yet, then the tests will be delayed. Armata, according to some reports, is also delayed due to delays in the development of a new projectile for 2A82.

Andrew.

KamAZ OJSC has unveiled 3D models of a promising self-propelled 152-mm wheeled artillery system being developed as part of the Coalition-SV-KSh development project. The company Motovilikhinsky Plants (Perm) also participated in the creation of the wheeled version of the self-propelled howitzer

For the base, a chassis was selected from the KAMAZ-6560 Tornado family of heavy-duty vehicles. This chassis is already in operation in the armed forces as a base for the Pantsir-C1 anti-aircraft missile and artillery systems. At the same time, for use in a self-propelled artillery installation, the Tornado machine underwent some changes. First of all, the chassis frame was modified. When firing at this unit is subject to huge loads, which required to strengthen it. In addition, several other parts of the chassis have been modified. These improvements were associated with the installation of a large-sized gun turret. It should be noted that the creation of the KAMAZ-6560 car actually gave a green light to the development of a self-propelled artillery installation on a wheeled chassis. The chassis before the Tornado appeared could not be the base for self-propelled guns with characteristics at the level of the new Coalition-SV-KSh. KAMAZ-6560 has a carrying capacity of about 24 tons, which allowed the use of this chassis as the basis for a new combat vehicle.

Under Stalin, all these state. the tests would have passed in a maximum of a couple of months and would have already begun deliveries to the troops.

NO .. firstly, armored vehicles are protected from the effects of chemical, bio .. weapons and radiation.
Secondly .. Radiation, like any em radiation, loses its intensity inversely with the square of the distance.
Thirdly ... YaV is not the destruction of the reactor. There will not be a large number of radionuclides with a long half-life .. Hiroshima and NAgasaki are witnesses to you, as well as hundreds of nuclear explosives on earth, in air and water. But one ruined reactor littered the floor of Europe.

[ivan0vitch]

if air blasting, then there is no transmutation of the elements of the earth's surface into radioactive ones. and the dirt from the actual explosion, a little, the efficiency of modern charges should be good. it’s not “Baby”, where only 50 grams of 60-400 kg of uranium reacted, and the rest scattered

[dvina71]

Quote: Rossia

transmutation of elements

Only a few elements can produce a radionuclide under radiation, even less with a long half-life .. Even in a nuclear lake they were hardly found, and there the charge was far from modern in efficiency ..

[ivan0vitch]

Yes, they are few, but still there. at least cobalt-60, formed due to neutron activation of cobalt, iron, nickel. half-life is long enough

[dvina71]

Cobalt-60 is produced in cobalt-59 reactors.
Isotopes of aluminum, manganese, sodium appear in the soil during irradiation .. their half-life is up to several hours .. besides, other isotopes also appear during irradiation .. with a very short spr .. up to microseconds .. so the induced radiation .. in the general understanding .. rather, the presence of micropores \ .clothing \. skin..isotopes ..

[ivan0vitch]

I got this data from Wikipedia, the Taiga project. literally: "60Co. It was formed as a result of neutron activation of natural isotopes of cobalt, iron and nickel, which were part of the soil and steel pipes used to organize the explosion.
94Nb. It was formed as a result of neutron activation of natural 93Nb nuclei in materials of nuclear explosives, steel pipes and soil.
207Bi. Activation by neutrons and charged particles of stable isotopes of lead and bismuth in soil and in nuclear materials. "

Read the memories of Grabin and others. Before the war, and afterwards, no one drove "in two months", the main task was to comprehensively test. And you are in a wartime situation, when the system was sometimes created in 2-3 weeks, you extrapolate to the present. And a modern self-propelled gun is not a car of the 30-40s. It is several orders of magnitude more complicated.

Quote: K-50

He who wants to do will do it, but he who does not wish will find a thousand reasons not to do it.

There is such a "Talmud" for each system - called the "Test Program". And everything is not dumped there. If it is written in it that the installation must go off-road, for example 4000 km, then it will go through them. And this does not mean that right there she will shoot at the range at targets. "Flies - separately, cutlets - separately." Sea trials are sea trials and nothing more. And not in three crew shifts. A huge number of parameters are removed. checked theoretical calculations of "mean time between failures" and much more. Such tests are not only costly for financial reasons, but also in time. The installation should be tested in various climatic conditions, for example, in the desert and the Arctic. But this is in a “live queue”. And after testing in the same desert, no one will immediately transfer self-propelled guns to the Arctic. She will undergo a routine inspection first (at least). And here is not the situation as you say: He wants to - will do it, does not want to - will seek a reason. You just don’t need to break what has been built up over the years, and the test procedure has been worked out for years and decades.
Yet again. The failure of any part of the machine does not mean that it will immediately be replaced and they will go on to test further. It is necessary to find out why this particular component failed, what are the reasons, etc.
Sorry, that I’m telling trivial truths, but sometimes it’s wild to read when people very distant from trials start to resent the “durability” of terms.

Quote: K-50

Moreover, long-term tests ultimately increase the cost of production, because paying for two years of "landfill" or whatever they pay there, also not from your pocket, but from the budget. Though a bit, but more expensive.

This is all laid down in the test program. Well, no one will, for example, release a plane on the first flight, but after, for example, conducting static tests for the destruction of a glider. Or put an engine that did not work out the hours laid down in the test program. Cost in this case is secondary. it’s better to "pay more" during the tests than later in the series to eliminate the "jambs" that were not noticed during the "accelerated tests"

Quote: groks

It is difficult to explain to people, to put it mildly, far from the design, production, implementation and operation of any new product (not necessarily iron) the whole complexity of this process!

Most likely the basis is the creation of production capacities and MTZ. And first of all - shells. Indeed, this system uses completely different shells (although the caliber is the same 152 mm) than on existing art. systems.
