new aviation the “Armor-piercer” missile is capable of breaking through barriers facing targets without collapsing, reports RIA News a message from Vladimir Lepin, general director of the Tekhmash concern.

"Armor". Details about the new rocket




The peculiarity of the C-8 OFP is that the rocket, depending on the settings of the fuse, can explode in front of the barrier, when it hits the barrier and beyond the barrier, piercing it and not collapsing. We had no such missiles yet,
told the CEO in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

According to him, the “Armored washer” missile is intended for installation on Su-25 attack aircraft and Mi-8 helicopters.

It is assumed that it will replace the unguided rocket C-8 caliber 80 millimeters.

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Defense of India was interested in the OFP rocket C-8. For the first time, “Broneboyschik” was presented at the military exhibition “Defexpo-2014” in the Indian capital.

      And whether it was worth building an expensive fuse with the possibility of remote detonation on such cheap ammunition, you can get by with the usual mechanical one with the ability to set the deceleration. Like artillery fuses, for example.
      Although if the new fuse turned out to be cheap then it is undoubtedly a step forward! Designers honor and respect. good

        Here it’s more important for the S-8 to increase the launch range, because the existing range with today's means of military air defense reduces too much the probability of not only hitting the target, but also returning from the base. A couple of S-8 blocks released from a helicopter or Su-25 are not worth the loss of the carrier itself. In general, today the S-8 anachronism and this modernization are nothing more than PR products ...
        The scattering of C-8 in flight and the circular probable deviation was 0,3% of the range, and the effective launch distance was 2000 m.
        So when do you tell me to determine how and when to set the fuse parameters? With a likely deviation of 0,3% from the range, there is definitely no sense in such a fuse, such a fuse is appropriate for high-precision weapons ...

          They will increase range and speed, and missile expansion will inevitably increase. You will also have to change all sights on all equipment or set up old ones for new ammunition because the ballistics of shells will also inevitably change. And does it make sense to increase the range, since in the majority of cases these shells use helicopters, snuggling as low as possible in order to create difficulties for the enemy’s air defense systems and MANPADS, and at low altitudes there are small 500-1000 meters on average .
          It seems to me that if it is time to modernize the C-8, it would be worthwhile to increase the warhead of the missile, and leave the range the same. If there is such an opportunity of course.

            Well, it’s more visible, but you need not to upgrade, but something new to replace. Tell me, then what to do with the existing ones? Well, here, modernization is more expensive than the rocket itself without increasing (even not particularly significant) the effectiveness of this device, especially. that in the nomenclature of S-8 there are almost any warhead and concrete slaughtering including. A missile operating essentially on areal targets does not need such a fuse ... Well, where does it penetrate (penetrating warheads and how many explosives are there in it to inflict any serious damage behind an obstacle with such accuracy?
            Well, I don’t know ... this is just my personal opinion and does not claim to be true ... hi

            True, they have not yet been accepted into service. And the plant (as in the good old days of the USSR just does not want to produce). But the military has not yet decided - and they need it?

              And why is there something to correct? Is it also necessary to put a homing head? Interestingly active or backlit with a laser? There, one homing head will cost like a block of missiles ... request NARSA NARA has always been valued only because of the cheapness of their application ... request

                Page excerpt:
                The “Threat” aviation guided weapon system includes S-5Kor (caliber 57 mm), S-8Kor (80 mm) and S-13Kor (120 mm) adjustable missiles. They were created on the basis of uncontrolled aircraft missiles (NAR) of the S-5, S-8 and S-13 types by equipping them with semi-active laser homing systems. NAR of these types are the standard armament of almost all combat aircraft and helicopters of the front, army and naval aviation of Russia, as well as the air forces of many foreign countries.

                  The site is working, specifically this link does not go. Yes, it doesn’t matter. Everything can be written on the site, it’s about expediency ... The S-13 is still equipped with a correction, but the S-8, and even more so the S-57 (especially the S-57), well, just to any gate, I I wrote above ... One can fantasize ad infinitum, the expediency of the senseless costs (which are not paid off in any way by the effectiveness of the application) are sky-high ... Some kind of crazy fiction on the verge of insanity ... NAR, NURS are appreciated because they have a very low cost, for other purposes there is a controlled (specially designed for this) weapon. Well, why in one volley of 64-adjustable S-57s kill 64 laser homing heads? From a range of 1500-2000m And where will they all 64 go to one highlighted target? Well, think what you like, My opinion, this is my personal opinion and is not an immutable truth ... hi

                    So no one argues. Moreover, due to the installation of GOS, the power of warhead missiles is slightly reduced. And again, all the more so since ATGMs operate at these ranges in principle (though their cost is higher). Because apparently armed and not accepted. I have led the link to the fact that work on ammunition is underway - as opposed to the notion that nothing new has been developed. As far as appropriate - this is to the military. They must determine whether it is worth the money or in the basket.

                      I mean the same. The cost of such missiles, for example, is 100 rubles (I’m figurative, but they are cheaper than an artillery shell of the same caliber because there are no super-expensive metals and do not require complex machining) Now add here GOS costing more than the Nurs itself, steering system, electronic control unit, generator pressure for the operation of cars, rudders ..., and in addition, hang over the battlefield and highlight their target ...
                      They must determine whether it is worth the money or in the basket.
                      Definitely in the basket!

                        Well, not everything is so unambiguous, highlighting can be done by an advanced aircraft pilot. In this sense, the pilot launched from afar and dumped ..... But apparently the military did not accept such systems, that the niche of these ammunition is not empty. At short distances (600-700m) RPGs, further ATGMs, farther away missiles with GOS and adjustable bombs ... But people are working, God forbid, to continue to work.
