Turkey continues to test new ACS Yavuz

The Turkish Defense Ministry continues to conduct tests similar to the French SAU CAESAR. The Turkish self-propelled artillery installation Yavuz, developed by Makina ve Kimya Endüstrisi Kurumu (MKEK), conducted regular test shooting, Warspot reports with reference to the YouTube channel arronlee33

The Turkish self-propelled gun Yavuz was officially unveiled last year at the international IDEF 2017 arms exhibition, when a static prototype of a self-propelled artillery mount was presented at a static exposition. Howitzer in its layout and parameters is almost identical to the French SAU CAESAR.

The Yavuz ACS is a semi-automatic howitzer mounted on the chassis of an SUV truck with 6 × 6 wheel formula. Caliber 155 mm, rate of fire at least 4 – 6 shots per minute, barrel length - 52 caliber. The ammunition of "all" 18 shells, although the French counterpart has twice the number - 36 shots. It can use NATO 155-mm projectiles, as well as active-rocket ammunition over a distance of over 40 km.

The crew of the self-propelled howitzer is 5 people, the mass of SAU is about 30 tons and depends on the degree of reservation of the cabin.

.... The Turkish Defense Ministry continues to test the analogue of the French SAES CAESAR.

Mdya ... Even there are no side paws, some naive and stupid freak turned out ...

[Yujanin]

And here is another development of the Turkish "freak". Multipurpose twin-engine helicopter T-625. The designers among themselves call this apparatus as "Ararat is still beyond the horizons"

[Shurik70]

"Modern" SPG with MANUAL feeding of shells ...
On the video, the projectile is laid either by a miracle hero, that a 155-mm caliber, like a three-inch drags, or ... this 155-mm projectile weighs like a 3-inch.
Ammunition 18 rounds ... No comment.
The inability to direct the barrel horizontally, you have to aim with the entire body of the ACS. This option is still acceptable when such a tip can be made quickly, but after all, they rest against the ground for a shot with their "paws", so you cannot quickly move the sight.
Question: Will designers be awarded in Moscow?

Sanchez from me, as always +++! And thanks for the video! !!

... for the video.

... Interestingly, the Danish CAESAR system is different from the French "base":

CAESAR - French 155 mm / 52 caliber, self-propelled artillery systems for the production of Nekster systems. The 8x8 version is built on a modified TATRA chassis, which is heavier than the original 6x6, built on the Renault chassis (French army) and Unimog (export).
Denmark ordered 15 CAESAR 8x8 howitzers in 2017 to replace their aging M109A3DK self-propelled howitzers.

Interestingly, and if it rains, will she shoot too?

2,41 even the UN uses such howitzers?

Wheel system i.e. on some dry roads. They also make BVs for themselves, probably justified, the price is lower than that of the caterpillar equipment and mobility too.
For accuracy of hit, efficiency and other, other, et only afterwards it can be seen.

[Black sniper]

What accuracy, if at the time of the shot the bandura winds like a speck in the wind

So above it is written that the Yavuz howitzer is almost identical in its layout and parameters to the French CAESAR self-propelled gun. This system, by the way, is one of the most accurate wheeled howitzers in the world, which also lack side paws.

[rocket757]

Any long-barreled motive is all the more motivated, but the projectile has already gone to the target! Kickback, however, is kinetic energy, put it at least wherever necessary. This affects the rate of fire more, you have to wait until the system calms down.

[Kotofeich]

Correct me if I'm wrong. 52 caliber is more a gun than a howitzer.

[Yujanin]

Correct me if I'm wrong. 52 caliber is more a gun than a howitzer.

The same modernized export version of MSTA-S (2C19M1 those which were delivered to Baku) has a barrel length of 52 caliber. And the Russian non-export option 2S19M2 has a total of 47klb.

[WOLF330]

And the distance from the MSTA is a maximum of 30 km ...

Now Kiev is suing the Turks for plagiarism - their "bagdana" or whatever her name is spioneer, they say, the Turks! !! And compensation in the amount of one hundred billion dollars! !!

[Black sniper]

Well, their Turks will send to the Maidan with pans to skip

[Vovad]

suspiciously like this?

[Yujanin]

Do not know, Ukrainians adopted this development?

[Vovad]

So far, there have been no such messages, although their Minister of Defense promised to start considering this issue from August 10. I think that the "Bogdana" has not yet passed all the tests, if they are adopted, it will not be as fast as they appeared.

[Sharikov Polygraph Poligrafovich]

Yes, no mythical "Bogdana" exists in principle !!!
What you, like everyone else, have already seen, is just never
DON'T SHOOTING FANTASTY in a single copy exclusively

And this is clearly seen by perfectly milled
