Ukraine decided to re-equip the army with foreign self-propelled guns

56

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are considering purchasing Polish self-propelled howitzers Krab. There is also an idea over time to replace the Soviet-style artillery systems 2A36, 2A65, 2S19, 2S5 with 155-mm self-propelled howitzers mounted on a wheeled chassis.

This was announced by the head of the missile and artillery department of the command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Major General Andriy Malinovsky, in an interview with the Ukrainian edition of "ArmyInform".



In addition, they are going to replace the self-propelled howitzers "Gvozdika" and "Akatsia" with self-propelled NATO 155 mm caliber self-propelled guns on a tracked chassis. In this case, the Polish Krab is perfect for these purposes.

The purchase of a Czech-made 152-mm self-propelled howitzer "Dana-M2" on a wheel drive is also being considered. True, it is not entirely clear how the acquisition of this equipment fits into the concept of the Ukrainian army's transition to NATO standards, which provide for the use of a 155 mm caliber, not 152.

In addition, the development of the domestic self-propelled guns "Bogdan", which has a caliber of 155 millimeters, continues, but it is still far from its serial production. The head of the Ukrainian artillery said that the development companies (LLC "Ukrainian armored vehicles" and PJSC "Kramatorsk heavy machine tool plant") completed the production of a prototype and carried out its factory tests.

      I mean, if it's okay to adjust to a pullback, then you can become rich. It seems to me that apart from the real need to replace equipment, there is also the possibility of "cutting the rollback" is the motivation

        More precisely, it will be the other way around.
        In addition to the real need for cutting and rolling back, there is also the possibility of replacing equipment.

          Because SOVIET and worse than RUSSIAN.
          Now I don't understand why they want to buy "DANA"? They have not been released for a long time, that is, they will buy the old one, but how many of them are left in a combat-ready state? And if you have already decided to change the caliber and switch to the NATO standard, then you can also take its 155-mm modification of the "Zuzana"

        Ukraine's gross external debt at the end of 2019 increased by $ 7,029 billion (6,1%) compared to last year to $ 121,739 billion.
        This follows from the data on the website of the National Bank of Ukraine.

        As noted in the NBU, Debt relative to Ukraine's GDP is 78,6%.

              A very interesting conclusion. And what exactly makes you such an impression: the fact that your godfathers from religion are fiddling with the Nazis in Ukrland ?; maybe the fact that your zemstvo in power and business brought Ukraine on a silver platter to the west ?; or maybe the fact that your regular officers taught ukrovermacht to kill people in Donbass and Lugansk ?; maybe you are hysterical, because Pashinyan, no matter how I treat him, showed you the direction of the path along with your humanitarian aid ?; Or does it infuriate you that the RA once sent your emissaries and in this anger you decided to enter the Caucasus from the Azeri side? I certainly understand the unhealthy interest of the Britons in the Caucasus, what do you want there, flawed?

      They urgently need to sack a projectile, which, depending on the caliber of the gun, would change its caliber in the gun barrel - load 155 mm into the cannon, the projectile will become of this caliber, load 152 mm into the cannon, and the projectile will "lose weight" by three calibers, up to 152mm wassat When I made it up, it remains only to patent the idea feel wassat

    I believe that the wear and tear of the barrels and the impossibility of replacing them (such a topic flashed through, and they did not start production) led to the fact that over 6 years of the "war with Russia" the resource of the barrels, even taking into account the "cannibalism" in storage warehouses, is coming to an end. And the stocks of "Soviet-style" ammunition are not endless. So it began to stir ... although the options for "kickbacks and cuts" are not excluded ...

      Rather it is. In 30 years, warehouses in Eastern Europe should be empty. And so from all the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, illiquid assets were poured into Ukraine.
      Regarding Dana, there is a variant of the 155-mm ShKH M2000 Zuzana, and she can be considered.

      They still have 152 mm shells. Although their consumption was high, plus the explosions of warehouses. They reload them. Plus they buy from the Bulgarians. Well, in general, the news is good. They will not be able to buy many NATO self-propelled guns 155 mm, and the old Soviet stocks of bp for 152 and 122 mm will become useless. Ukraine in general was able to wage war only thanks to the remnants of the huge Soviet stockpiles of weapons and ammunition. If the rearmament to NATO standards and the decommissioning of Soviet weapons really begin, then the bp and fuels and lubricants for them will have to be changed by importing and killing their own military-industrial complex. Supplying from the wheels of a serious war cannot be pulled out. PM fully support the degradation of their MCP. By the way, I think that the war in Karabakh will encourage them to switch to imports even more. It seems to them that Soviet weapons have become unnecessary at the present time. They will probably start praying for drones. And this stupidity can cost them dearly. laughing

    Israel, only at the mere mention of Iranian technology from any of its neighbors, immediately demolishes and burns equipment along with servants, instructors, caponiers and fortified areas around.
    And not a single International NPC and the Governments of the countries, Israel, do not reproach for this.

    Ukrainian special forces are preparing for the forceful seizure of Crimea, after passing the exercises and practicing maneuvers, the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will remain on the northern border of Crimea to await further orders.
    This statement was made by the commander of the "joint forces" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Sergei Naev. Writes "The First Sevastopol".

    He notes that the special forces of Ukraine are planning to deploy to the border with Crimea in order to start an operation to "return Crimea" at the specified time.

    The Lieutenant General believes that hostilities may begin in the fall.

    The situation differs from NKR for many reasons.
    For example, in the LDNR
    there is no such ubiquitous && full-time type as Pashinyan, there is a common border with Russia,
