Upgraded ACS 2S7M "Malka" will receive new ammunition

The modernized self-propelled gun 2S7M "Malka" will receive a new generation of ammunition. Told about this in an interview with RIA News industrial director of the Rostec weapons complex Bekkhan Ozdoev.

According to Ozdoev, a variant of a deeper modernization of the 2S7M Malka self-propelled cannon, which also includes a new generation of ammunition, has already been developed and sent to the Ministry of Defense for consideration. However, he did not give details of the proposed modernization option.



We have worked out options for a deeper modernization of the weapon with the development of a new generation of ammunition, including guided ones. We have sent these proposals to the customer

- he said.

Recall that in the spring of this year, a new version of the modernized Malka was presented and the first modernized vehicles have already entered the army. The modernization was carried out at Uraltransmash (part of UVZ). At the ACS, work was carried out to replace the gearbox, distribution mechanisms and power supply units. Replaced observation devices and guidance system, intercom equipment and radio station. The complex of anti-nuclear protection has been updated. Now it is possible to aim at a target using a UAV.

The 2S7M "Malka", having a gun caliber (2A44) of 203 mm, is capable of firing various types of ammunition, including active-reactive and special ammunition with a nuclear warhead.

Large-caliber self-propelled guns at one time were developed as a means of possible tactical nuclear strike. The first modification - 2C7 "Peony" - has been in operation since 1975, the upgraded version - 2C7M - since 1986.

For reference: the 2S7M Malka combat mass in the previous layout was 46,5 tons, the crew was 6 people, the R-173 radio station was used, the transported ammunition was 8 rounds, and the self-propelled gun was put into combat position for 7 minutes.

        It is a fact. The saturation of the RF Army with artillery, MLRS and OTR is the highest in the world. Although China is already approaching you by these indicators.

              In terms of gunpowder, not everything is so simple. At us, at the request of the military, they must predictably burn at temperatures from -50 degrees. Foreign, if I remember correctly, from -30. So, in the winter in our northern regions, how the ammunition of the western comrades will behave is a question.

            You're in vain. Already during the Second World Soviet artillery was the strongest in the world, yielding to the West only in organizational matters of interaction with other troops. Nothing frightened the Germans so much as the monstrous Soviet shelling.
            And the Germans - if you know the history of the development of artillery - almost half of all barrels were actually from the time of the First World War. How could we yield to them?

              No.
              They were inferior in terms of gunpowder, both in terms of recipes and workmanship.
              They were inferior in shells, first of all, armor-piercing (and the cumulative ones used by the Germans were generally so new that at first they did not fully understand the principle of their action, calling them "armor-piercing").
              They were inferior in terms of organization, tactics of use, interaction with other branches of the armed forces, and reconnaissance of targets.
              Unfortunately, I cannot give an exact link, but the highly respected military historian here Aleksey Isaev very reasonably explained the peculiarities of Soviet tactics of using tanks (and the reasons for their high losses) precisely by the fact that they were forced to replace artillery as the main means of breaking into defense. Due to its relative weakness.

                Lend-Lease gunpowders had a limited temperature range of stable characteristics, as well as a shelf life without loss of stable characteristics. Almost all formulations of weapons and artillery powders caused either a rapid heating of the barrel or a rapid formation of carbon deposits in the shooter. But the grandfathers very quickly learned to adapt to this.

                Much, but not artillery in its classical sense. Anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank guns - yes, they were new. And for some reason the artillery itself of the Germans generally suited it and they did not actively develop it during the Second World War (unlike the USSR). Yes, they improved the artillery, but that was all (we were really bad with the shells - for objective reasons - but the artillery systems themselves were pretty bad). Think of the monster sIG 33., at least. A fairly old interwar cannon was installed on the unit's chassis. And with the whole, with the gun carriage, Karl, with the gun carriage! Wheeled. And they managed to rivet these monsters in order. Not at all from a good life.

                And without the USSR, it could not even be done.
                In 1927, the Reichswehr adopted the light infantry gun 7,5 cm leichte Infanteriegeschütz 18 (leIG18). At the same time, the Rheinmetall design bureau developed a heavy 150-mm infantry gun - for several years this system could not win the confidence of the military, who considered it too heavy for the regimental level. The system could have sunk into oblivion if it were not for the Soviet order - on August 28, 1930, an agreement was concluded with the Byutast company (the front office of the Rheinmetall concern) for the supply of eight 150-mm mortars (this is how these guns were classified in the USSR), converted to caliber 152,4 mm, and assistance in establishing licensed production. The gun was adopted by the Red Army under the designation "152-mm mortar mod. 1931 ", in documents it often appeared as" NM "(" German mortar "). In 1932-1935, the Putilov factory produced a small batch of these guns, but the Red Army had 105 units of "NM" in total (including those supplied from Germany). Interestingly, in accordance with the artillery armament system of the Red Army, the 152-mm mortar was not a regimental artillery, but a divisional artillery.

                The recognition received by the heavy infantry weapon abroad pushed the German military-political leadership to adopt it. In 1933, the Reichswehr received the 15 cm schweres Infanteriegeschütz 33 (sIG 33), a 15 cm heavy infantry gun of the 1933 model.

                Serial production of the sIG 33 began in 1933 at the Rheinmetall plant. The gun turned out to be quite expensive - it cost 20 Reichsmarks. The light infantry gun leIG18 cost three times less (6700 Reichsmarks), even the divisional 105-mm leFH18 howitzer, much more complex in design, was cheaper - 16 Reichsmarks.

        Only now this is becoming less and less relevant, since the war has long passed into tweets and Facebook, the enemy is hiring militant environmentalists and super minority shareholders who can survive the impact of the latest chemical warfare agents. Unfortunately, we have nothing to oppose in this field, so we develop artillery in the old fashioned way.

            More range means more projectile speed. This is the longest barrel. This is more of a return. Can you imagine the recoil for a 203 mm caliber? Malka needs to be maintained at a level until the resource is depleted. And then move away from these rare solutions. With a developed counter-battery, Malka is not a tenant at the enemy.

            What for?
            The caliber used to compensate for the low accuracy. Now a high-precision projectile hits the BMP with 1 shot on guidance from a drone.
            For this, the mass of the explosive needs only a few KG, i.e. 152 is enough for the eye.

            The enlargement of the trunk is associated with a number of problems - the mass of the trunk and the platform itself increases nonlinearly.
            Due to the increase in size and weight, the rate of fire decreases.

            The electronics that are in the projectile does not tolerate the large overloads that the projectile is subjected to at the time of the shot.

            Those. modern art can throw a blank for tens of kilometers you mentioned 70 ...
            But the guided projectile is only 20 because electronics can't stand it.
            You also need to understand that the design of the projectile itself is changing - the walls must be thicker so as not to deform when fired in the barrel.
            Therefore, a guided projectile is certainly good, but in practice it is a dubious decision.

              A tank will have enough 155 mm, but no pillbox. And chasing attack aircraft with high-precision concrete-piercing bombs can be very expensive, especially if the enemy has air defense.

                According to modern (!) Concepts, 100 kg is not enough for any "highly protected". Enough only 50 years ago.
                For comparison, the mass of modern concrete-piercing aerial bombs, designed to defeat highly protected objects, 500 and 1500 kg.

                Radar fuses

                Iiii? Does this mean that they can withstand any overloads?
                In my opinion, it is obvious that if they could, Krasnopoli would already fly not 20 but 120 km. I do not think that the idea of ​​making the barrel "longer and thicker" so that it can be fired with a large charge and farther away is so complex and conceptually original that it never occurred to gunsmiths.

                We are talking precisely about launching a projectile at 120 km.
                How's the anti-aircraft guns in which "the initial velocity of the projectile was never small" hit 120 km?


                And chasing attack aircraft with high-precision concrete-piercing bombs can be very expensive, especially if the enemy has air defense.

                Artillery is in any case much cheaper than aviation.
                It is not clear only why then the principle of aviation exists, if "expensive and air defense".

                Your logic is clear - ideally it is to combine the cheapness of artillery with the possibility of aviation.
                So that from 1 barrel it was possible to shoot at 1000 km and produce the effect of a 1500 kg aerial bomb.
                But ... in fact, no one has yet succeeded in this, for reasons partially voiced by me above.

                  So you answered yourself.
                  Krasnopol does not fly beyond 20 km, not so much because it cannot withstand overloads, but because the existing artillery systems are unable to throw it so far.
                  And "the barrel is longer and thicker" - this is, excuse me, a new weapon. Which, due to the price, mass and limitations of mobility, will have another level of subordination.

                    Excuse the same "Coalition".
                    And with a different barrel length.
                    And with another method of undermining the propellant charge, providing a different efficiency.
                    But Krasnopol did not fly further.

                    [b] Although I repeat, the idea of ​​such a "BAFA" of already known shells, such as increasing the gun and the range, is obvious and easy to implement.
                    For example, Malka's trunk is 11,2 meters. And thicker than Msta.
                    The Coalition and Msta have 7,9 and 7,14, respectively.

                    So to make a barrel under 152, in the dimensions of Malka, to throw high-precision Krasnopolis far away - well, that's not a problem at all.
                    But for some reason they didn't ...


                    I repeat - if it were possible - we would have flown 50 - 100 -120 -150 ...

                    Which, due to the price, weight and limitations of mobility, will have another level of subordination.

                    It is strange that these questions have never bothered you at all when it came to the defeat of pillboxes with a "different caliber".
                    Neither a question of mass, nor a question of rate of fire, when not one person is already carrying a 100-kg projectile, but three are carried on carts through the mud. You then wrote exclusively about the "shortcomings of aviation".

      In fact, it is no longer a fact that such a gun will be cheaper than a rocket.
      When it was done, at a distance of 30 km, missiles of the "Hurricane" type simply could not hit a point target. And making a small-caliber missile guided was not just expensive, but an unaffordable luxury.
      Now the progress of electronics has changed everything dramatically, the projectile for the cannon has to be made controllable. And this is obviously more expensive than a rocket, only the loads when fired are orders of magnitude different. So, maybe Americans are right that they abandoned their big guns.
