Serious problems identified during tests of Ukrainian 152 mm artillery shells

The 152-mm artillery shells widely advertised in Ukraine for Ukrainian-made Hyacinth cannons developed in the USSR turned out to be not only of poor quality, but also dangerous for artillerymen. This was reported by Ukrainian military blogger diana_mihailova in the material "Dangerous problems identified during testing of Ukrainian 152-mm artillery shells".

In her article, the Ukrainian blogger drew attention to the publication of Vladimir Schetinin, who on his Facebook page posted unpleasant information about the tests and problems of domestic (Ukrainian-made) 152-mm artillery shells for 2A36 ("Hyacinth-B") and 2C5 (" Hyacinth-C ").



Reportedly, Ukrainian shells do not meet certain criteria inherent in artillery shells. According to Shchetinin, manufacturing techniques were violated in the manufacture of shells.


So, he writes, a Ukrainian artillery shell gives only 50 to 100 fragments during an explosion, while a similar Soviet-made projectile OF29 - from 1700 to 2000. It turns out that Ukrainian gunsmiths use different explosives and inappropriate metal in the manufacture of shells. The use of low-carbon steel, whose chemical composition gives the material a high impact strength, negatively affected the creation of fragments after the detonation of ammunition after being hit.

Since the projectile is prefabricated, this makes it impossible to shoot at the rebound - when it hits the ground, the projectile will collapse, fragmentation, moment of inertia also change, which negatively affects the derivation and ballistics of the projectile

- stated in the material.

It is also reported that the shells are equipped with explosives, which turned out to be unsuitable for long-term storage and increase their volume over time. However, such shells are delivered to the Ukrainian army and, according to the expert, pose a threat not only during firing, but even during storage.

        It is unlikely. There were ruptures of the trunks of "hyacinth - b", with losses in personnel. No investigations were carried out, therefore it is not known now for what reason there was a break. Or barrel defect - outdoor storage for 30 years. Or there are problems with the charge, too, the storage is severely disturbed. But the soldiers are very afraid of their guns and try not to come close.

          Well, how can I say .. I bought something like spare parts for my MAZ .. Ukrainian piston ... The sleeve on the belt burst on the first trip ... Everything was changed to Kostroma .. only there were no piston fingers in the Kostroma kit .. decided to put After half a year .. some kind of knock appeared in the engine .., there is pressure .. the engine picks up speed .. the knock disappears .., at the idle it taps .. harder on the gas exchange .. Dismantled the engine .. and here I am about ... ate .. for the first time I saw a piston finger bursting along ... Well ok .. this can be attributed to a general drop in quality ..
          Was at our factory in perestroika .. the future air of Vikramaditya ... A familiar welder told me ... rather swearing ... graduates of the gopa don’t allow us to make such seams ... and there it was on the communications .. They began to check pipelines by pressure .. ran through the seams .. Actually because of this, the time and cost of repairs increased sharply .. had to remove all the pipelines and conduct new ones ..
          So ... it has disappeared so it has disappeared ...

          I read the original from Vladimir Schetinin - he is an incompetent commentator (this is my opinion), hides his ignorance behind obscene expressions. It stands out especially:
          an American projectile, which "unlike the Soviet OF29 with 1700-2000 fragments, gives 28000 fragments at the output

          Campaign this expert compares different types: American cluster munition with high-explosive Soviet high-explosive ...

          And then, in general, a masterpiece of his conclusions:
          And since it’s 15 times smaller (28 fragments versus 000), that’s why in order to destroy a strong point, the Americans needed to produce 2 times less shells than the Soviet. 000 times less time and 15 times more often than the Soviet stay alive


          At the same time, this expert does not even evaluate the size of the fragments and their mass, does not compare energy and does not draw conclusions, for example, that American fragments will have a mass of about 1,5 grams and have an energy of 750 J and cannot be anti-personnel.

          he is an amateur and is engaged in hype, but if the facts are stated by him are real, then we will drop his reasoning and rejoice))) Ukraine’s shell hunger has not been resolved.

          If I’m not mistaken, the United States and the USSR had ammunition rates for unarmored targets about the same.

          Not the artilleryman himself, I’ll wait for a pro, for example Lopatov, the opinion of a specialist is very interesting

      So the Ukrainian army began to switch to 155 mm caliber and even began to produce barrels. We recently discussed this at VO and gave me a whole bunch of cons because I doubted the possibility of their military industrial complex to produce such barrels.

          I think that the numerous explosions in the ammunition depots slightly depleted their supplies.

          Ammunition is aging, but its production has already been under control. Not so long ago, Ukrainians boasted of new achievements in this area.

          In March 2018, UkrOboronProm announced the completion of the first stage of internal testing of 152-mm artillery shells manufactured exclusively by the domestic defense industry. The main manufacturer of artillery ammunition is the company DACHK Artem.

          And what ... it turned out that they couldn't even do this?
