Footage appeared in Syria using the KS-19 anti-aircraft gun of the 1947 model of the year

Sputnik published a video showing Syrian Arab Army (CAA) units serving in Latakia province. It is here that one of the key facilities of the contingent of the Russian Armed Forces deployed in Syria is located - the Khmeimim air base.

At the same time, as can be seen on the video frames, the troops of official Damascus (SAA) are conducting artillery fire from the KS-19 anti-aircraft gun. This product was adopted by the Soviet army back in 1948 (created in 1947). Initially, the 100-mm gun was intended to destroy high-flying (up to 15 km) targets moving at speeds up to 1200 km / h.

In modern conditions, it can be effectively used only for striking ground targets, as demonstrated by the presented video materials.

In total, approximately 10 thousand guns of this type were produced. Despite the wide distribution of the product, information about the defeat of air targets is not available. Currently, COP-19 remains in service mainly with a number of African countries and states experiencing pressure from the West - such as the DPRK and Cuba. The cannon is used for civilian purposes - to deal with snow avalanches and hail clouds.

Yeah ...
I had to somehow visit the ZNS division twice. Just such guns. In 1978 and 1980.
In the 80th even went to the landfill bullet.
Noble mechanism!

The Syrians have always surprised me with their economy and relying only on themselves .. They recover weapons from metal and are very effective .. The inventors are the same!
But they could have "vytsigani" the latest gun mounts from Russia and we would have provided them ..
Well done! Russia, of course, powerfully helped the videoconferencing system, but nevertheless their fighting spirit and ingenuity is the main thing! Hang on Syria ..

And how do they shoot with the S-200 ..,

Are you interested in a downed F-16 pilot?

What is the difference with what weapon the projectile will fly into the trenches? From the modern or 1947 release. While the gun is working properly and has a trained gunner, this is a formidable weapon. The Syrians now have no choice

Rate of fire and accuracy. Russia began the artillery upgrade following the results of the Syrian campaign. Lopatov will certainly better explain

[Potato]

The difference is that this gun is bulky and inactive, and the calculation of the gun is not protected from return fire, and, above all, from fragments. But the caliber of the guns and the power of the HE shell there are not very large.

Now they would like that

There are about a hundred rounds of ammunition transported, and the gun is fast-firing, and the cabin is spacious, and the armor is 15 mm on all sides.

Well, why would such armor protect? From a kitchen knife?

[Potato]

It will completely protect against mortar fragments. Protect from counter-battery fire. And the tank chassis allows me to quickly flush if the answer arrives.

[ssergey1978]

You know the speed of a mine fragment. We studied the statics. 15 mm of armor will not help you.

This is a significant difference, when the country has money and it can afford to spend money on modern weapons .. And when the country has been at war for 8 years and the resources go to zero, and such a weapon will be suitable for protecting the country

[Catfish]

Yes, or ISU-152, probably because we have somewhere on the long-term.

[Nemo]

The flight path of the projectile is completely different. It is very necessary to try hard to shoot from this gun a canopy from closed positions.

[Potato]

It seems to a man far from artillery. At a mortar mine, the trajectory is even more hinged, but it hits very accurately. Only here with mortars, the firing range is very small compared to howitzers of a similar caliber. Such a 105ki firing range of up to 10 km.

[KVU-NSVD]

The Syrians are not up to the choice - they shoot from everything that is available and what ammunition is for

[LiSiCyn]

On the video, it seemed to me that the gun acted as an "air gunner". Su-shka in the sky, for good reason. And there are many observers and spotters.

[KVU-NSVD]

Why not, it’s not all the same that lasers highlight targets ... all the more so it’s very convenient to designate a group for aviation as a series of explosions, which allows a low intensity of hostilities ..

moreover, it’s very convenient to designate a group for aviation by a series of breaks

Hurry, suppress the emplacements on the dominant heights, judging by the relief. Yes, and to act, a kind of long-range sniper "rifle", at ranges inaccessible to ATGM.

Everything can be, one thing is for sure - they are not there for

fight against snow avalanches and hail clouds.

[rotmistr60]

What year of release is not important. It is important that shoots and damages the enemy.

[sabakina]

Gene, prvevet! I can only shout: Glory to the Soviet designers!

What is characteristic of the old Soviet weapons faithfully serves in some countries of the world and so far is not even going to retire.

And what would this gun be if it stood on cannon fat? Here they are smashing in a quiet banderlog.

Hi friend! Reliable equipment and serves accordingly, but with proper care.

[Leopold]

pasha I have only one question, does she use the same shells as for the tank D-10? If so, then why wouldn’t she fight, since there are T-55s there?

I’m not a tanker, because you should ask such a question to a tank specialist.

Hello friend! soldier Reliable technology and serves accordingly, but with proper care. yes

Hello, old man !!! I completely agree, and the trunk is still TA! In one place (in our vicinity) the gun trunks were cut in the fortified area, so the Chinese gave for 1 kg !! crazy money. Could pour steel earlier. Yes, you yourself know what quality rifle trunks, carbines made in 40-50 gg. last century. Excellent quality!

I know, buddy. I Makarych was 1961 release. But he beat it very accurately ...

[knn54]

at KhIRE in the 70s, a group of HMS was formed (in the 4th year, when there was a "narrow" specialization), practically the only one in the USSR - "buyers" from Central Asia to Moldova and Crimea. The guys, having been in practice, talked about the fight against avalanches (Pamir) and protection of vineyards from hail (Crimea, Moldova, Azerbaijan). There, in conjunction with locators. there were such anti-aircraft guns.

[LiSiCyn]

In the Krasnodar Territory, more rockets are used. Although in the mountains, there is. Most likely in a hospital, without sights and locks. In any case, in Kazakhstan, that was ...

[LiSiCyn]

Hi Paul!
To be honest, I don’t know what they are called ... Simply anti-hail missiles. Long "fools", meters 2. Launch from the guides.

[bouncyhunter]

Stas, but there is no need here to shine with names: spy, bastards.

[Kerensky]

The Germans from the 88-mm tanks thrashed. and here 100. True, the initial speed .... She does not really need rate of fire in those conditions. That mobility, yes, is minus. Well, you can call casemate and still serve.

[serg.shishkov2015]

There was information in serious publications-- during the operation * Desert Storm * Six * Tornado * went at an altitude of 6700 meters, the Host was shot down by the first salvo from KS-19

[Nikolaevich I]

Well, well ... everyone can use a 100-mm anti-aircraft gun as a field weapon! But try, like the Iranians, the Vietnamese, to use the KS-19, as before, like an anti-aircraft gun! In modern conditions, this is "aerobatics"! And if you make an adjustable artillery shell ... it will be "finally"! For firing at long-range drones, it is quite suitable in an object air defense system ...

[Leopold]

Nikolaevich As far as I remember, the Germans, in addition to the 88 mm at the end of the war, used 128 mm anti-aircraft guns. They were placed in air defense towers and guided by radar. It was necessary to defend ourselves somehow against the high-altitude bombers of the Allies.

[Strashila]

The Vietnamese at their base made batteries with a central fire control, the guns only charging.
