Ministry of Defense will modernize the "Snake Gorynycha"

The Russian military has ordered the development of a renewed self-propelled de-commissioned demining plant, the UR-15 Meteor, the newspaper reports News.

Machines of this type are one of the most effective means of demining (creating passes in a minefield). In the army, they received the nickname "Snake Gorynych." According to experts, the decision to modernize the SD was made after their use in Syria.

By the end of this year, a preliminary design of the installation should be prepared, the cost of which will be about 75 million rubles.

Two vehicle concepts are proposed - based on the BMP-3, as well as tanks T-72 or T-90. At the same time, there is a requirement for installation - the ability to overcome water barriers. BMP easily cope with this task, but its armor can not be compared with the tank.

Therefore, a version of a robotic machine integrated into modern control systems is also proposed for consideration.

Currently, the Russian Army is equipped with a JET-77 “Meteorite” jet-launched demining unit, created on the basis of the Gvozdika 2-1 self-propelled gun. These installations showed their capabilities in Syria both for their intended purpose and for fighting in urban conditions.

According to military expert Oleg Zheltonozhko, it was the Syrian experience that forced the Ministry of Defense to pay attention to this underestimated type of weaponry and order the development of an updated SD.

The expert believes that it will be difficult to improve the throwing system itself, it is simple and reliable. Therefore, most likely, only the platform will change. At the same time, he noted that the keys to improving the effectiveness of SD lay in its full autonomy and the maximum possible robotization.

Why did this expert come to this conclusion? The propellant system can still be improved, for example, mines with double-click fuses (for example, the TM-62 mine with the MVD-62 fuse), anti-personnel mines of tension action may remain whole. Magnetic, seismic and infrared fuses and so on do not respond to a blast wave. The Syrian experience has clearly demonstrated this. And the platforms have nothing to do with it at all.

The principle of the propellant system will remain, but the characteristics can be improved, in addition, it is necessary (taking into account the expansion of application methods) to develop a new charge for it (ammunition), then as an opportunity to use it apart from a high-explosive charge, a fragmentation one, volume detonating, and something else to come up with. The platform in urban combat is only tank and preferably robotic, because the range of application of this complex will be almost dense ... Well, as it seems. (all this is exclusively a personal opinion, not claiming to be something serious in the first instance)

This Oleg Zheltonozhka can be called a military expert only with a stretch of the imagination. A little man without a military education (military department at the UPI does not count). There is no experience in command and control of troops. There is no experience in the creation (development, production) of military equipment. There is only the experience of gluing and painting models of military equipment. Plus - is fond of military history. But this is clearly not enough for the adoption of such a high and proud title - "military expert". Well, since he positions himself as a military expert, then we will call him simply - expert.

Surely this Oleg Zheltonozhko is a competent guy who knows military history, but when you give an interview to such a reputable publication as Izvestia, you somehow have to be more serious, especially when you are positioned as a military expert. Believe me, I am not against such "regalia" (respected Oleg Kaptsov is also represented at other sites as an expert in the field of military shipbuilding) the main thing is that the "title" does not differ from the information that they give out to the audience.

Welcome According to the video footage in Syria, it was used to destroy the shelters and positions in which the militants were hiding. So we can only guess what its modernization is?

Greetings Oleg That's for sure - just guess. You can be sure of only one thing: this installation in Syria has gained invaluable experience and an immense sea has appeared for our designers to modernize it.

Very lacked range.
With such a range, tank-based systems are needed, but I want a larger radius on a lighter, more floating and, accordingly, cheaper chassis.
They will see who offers what - they will choose from that.

Do not confuse the THROWING system itself (the thing that is attached to the carrier) with the CHARGES it throws. (Or mosque )

Terrible character this "serpent mountains"

scary, then scary - but the mine clearance strip is not very wide. There are more serious systems, for example - UR-83P "meteorite" mine clearance band 5-8 meters. But this "meteorite" spits out at a time 1380kg BB!

[Romka47]

Yes, this is generally an amba))) I’ve read so much about their use, the impression is that they are more used not as a means of demining, but as a means of defeating manpower. and use successfully.

Not a specialist, but will someone correct me in the idea of ​​using cassette charging of this propelling device? The "rate of fire" would be noticeably increased.

Well, in Syria, it’s possible that there will be militants. There’s more stuff with balls or needles, that’s what will happen. And leave the old name for disguise

[KVU-NSVD]

Real modernization with radically new application possibilities is robotization. And it’s easier to make buoyancy in this case - the issue of booking in this case is not so acute and the dimensions will become much more compact. You can save space for a mechanical driver - the ability to manually control will improve mobility in some conditions in the absence of a trawl.
