The network has new photos of self-propelled guns "Magnolia"
Pictures of the latest Russian 120-mm self-propelled gun "Magnolia" appeared on the Web again. The artillery gun was again photographed loaded on a platform for transportation. Presumably, CAO recorded during transportation between the stages of the ongoing tests.
The first photo of a self-propelled artillery mount, created on the basis of the DT-10MP two-link tracked conveyor, appeared on the network in early May of this year. Then it was suggested that this is a photograph of a prototype 120-mm self-propelled gun "Magnolia", created to equip the Arctic parts.
For the first time, the characteristics of the latest Russian two-tier self-propelled artillery were revealed at the Army-2019 international forum. As UVZ specialists explained, a self-propelled artillery gun was developed by JSC Central Research Institute Burevestnik (Nizhny Novgorod, which is part of Uralvagonzavod NPK JSC).
SAO is placed on the chassis of the crawler armored transporter DT-10ПМ of the Vityaz family. On the back case of the Magnolia there is a fighting compartment - with an 120-mm 2A80 gun, combining the fighting qualities of a gun, howitzer and mortar. The design of the tower provides horizontal horizontal guidance and the rise of the barrel from -5 ° to + 80 °. The gun fires high-explosive shells at a range of up to 8,5 km, guided shells - at 10 km, high-explosive shells - at 7 km. Gun rate - 10 rounds per minute, the ammunition consists of 80 shells.
The crew of CJSC Magnolia is four people. The DT-10ПМ two-link tracked conveyor weighs 23,5 tons, but is capable of speeds up to 44 km / h, afloat - up to 5 km / h.
The main purpose - fire destruction of armored vehicles, manpower and fortifications.
It is assumed that the self-propelled gun will go into service with artillery units deployed in hard-to-reach areas, wetlands, in the Far North.
