A video of the shooting of the new Polish anti-aircraft missile system PSR-A Pilica appeared on the web

A video of test firing of the new Polish anti-aircraft missile system PSR-A Pilica has appeared on the Web. The video on its official YouTube channel was posted by the Polish state-owned company PGZ, which received a contract for the production of six batteries of anti-aircraft guns.

The Polish Ministry of Defense has reportedly received the first battery of PSR-A Pilica anti-aircraft missile systems. New installations entered service with the 3rd Warsaw Air Defense Brigade. A total of six batteries are expected to be delivered until 2022.

The PSR-A Pilica short-range anti-aircraft missile system includes the ZUR-23-2KG Jodek-G anti-aircraft gun, as well as two short-range Grom / Piorun guided missiles. One battery includes six combined complexes, as well as artillery tractors, a command post, a radar station, 2 transport vehicles and 2 vehicles with ammunition.

ZUR-23-2KG Jodek-G was created on the basis of the Soviet 23-mm ZU-23, the Piorun complex (originally designated as Grom-M) is a further development of the Grom MANPADS, which was originally a licensed copy of the Soviet Igla-1 MANPADS.

The declared firing range of the gun is 2 km, the MANPADS is 5 km. Each installation can operate both autonomously, since it has a computerized fire control system and optoelectronic devices, or be integrated into an echeloned anti-aircraft defense system, receiving target designation from an automated control system.

Hmm, zushka 23-2 and a copy of Igla-1 are called new?

[Kuz]

They are probably the first to combine.

Did not impress. Fuck the goat button accordion.

The ZU-23 / 30M1 was modernized fifteen years ago, by the way, it was sold to Venezuela, albeit in a purely cannon version.

[Kuz]

So the Poles can be safely accused of plagiarism.

It is interesting. But it may turn out that the first time someone else's designs were used back in the USSR.

[Amin_vivec]

They included it in the ACS - this is the main thing for How-Know Panov, which means that it centrally receives third-party target designation, in addition, it has an automatic sighting complex of the optical range, this is a setup for countering drones and protecting against them.

I wonder how "defense against drones" differs from "fight against drones"?
And if the drone is hanging at an altitude of 9000 m?

[Amin_vivec]

Drones are different, for example drones - kamikaze, the same Israeli harop))))))) They do not hang at 9000 meters, and represent a target of 1-1,5 meters, which can be easily detected at a fairly close distance , and it is quite in the teeth like a Polish toy. So here we are talking about "protection from drones". And for the "fight against drones" you need electronic warfare))))

[Petro_tut]

And for the "fight against drones" you need electronic warfare))))

A wedge is knocked out with a wedge, that is, you need a bulging ammunition capable of being controlled by a beam and catching up with a drone "hanging" in the sky

[cat Rusich]

ZSU-23-2-4M4. At the RAE-2013 exhibition in Nizhny Tagil, they already showed in 2013.

Shilka-M4 - maybe the Poles and her already "invented"...

=========
I also have deja vu: somewhere I have already seen it all :
Here is the ZU-23-2 with the "Needle":

But on the truck:

In truth: Everything new is well forgotten old ... Well, at least the Poles think so ...

[Bar1]

for sale, chase blackbirds.

[Nikon O'Conor]

This is my first thought when I looked at the photo. ZU 23-2.

[Bolt cutter]

Jodek-G created on the basis of the Soviet 23 mm ZU-23

Poles adopted the best practices of Ukrainian designers

[The leader of the Redskins]

With no armor at all?
Yes, even with a bulletproof one ... How many minutes will it "live" after the first shot or, as the UAV sees it?

[donavi49]

Well, bulletproof shields will be required if it will be used in Babakh, that is, to crush the infantry, houses-support workers, etc.

UAVs / modern means of destruction will burn the tank with their missiles, there is no sense in armor. On the contrary, there is a greater chance of rejecting it - a shell shock and that's it.

[The leader of the Redskins]

So I am about that - will begin "in Babakh" and finish "in Karabakh". Even a direct hit will not be needed - and so it will mow down everyone.

[Starover_Z]

But the Poles are against Russia (like some of the Okraintsy), so what are the Soviet uses, they adapt ?!

[Graz]

looks more like a shushpanzer than an efficient car

Well, puffy pshekam and that will do!

[Reserve buildbat]

In principle, a clear indicator of the "technology" of pshek. ZU-23-2, which is 100 years old by lunchtime and "Igla-1" in export version, which is also already 40 years old. New!

[Constanty]

The title photo shows something like "Hibneryta" - another clone of the "snake" to which the clones of the "needle" on the truck were added.

It is a pity that in the second decade of the 21st century in Poland Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów received the INNOVATION award for this product !!!

Very expensive anyway
Almost PLN 746,16 million was paid for the equipment for the six batteries. - $ 200 million - without trucks, of course

[APASUS]

, everything is open, there is a radar on the ground. As I understand it, in the rain and snow this is a miracle of Polish military equipment, shouldn't it work?

[rocket757]

Didn't even make me laugh ...
Here, side by side, inventors-clowns are the same, but ahead.

[newcomer]

These are little things. I literally read it: in Altai they took up the combat Buk M3.

[rocket757]

A full-fledged front line complex, in conjunction with aviation, very effective protection.
Nobody assumes that he will stand alone and defend his area of ​​responsibility. A worthy element of comprehensive airspace protection.

[newcomer]

Naturally. The most important thing is that it knocks down everything that flies, young and old.

[rocket757]

Now every little thing, in size, in EPR, because of the accuracy of the hit, is a threat no less significant!
Of course, I want to have a smaller, cheaper, formidable and effective .... will, over time. In the meantime, what is and works well, coupled with what can be sent by carriers, launch complexes, control points, everything to where it came from and controlled.

[newcomer]

Yes, work is now underway to "reduce" the weight and dimensions, which will lead to a reduction in the cost of both the air defense missiles themselves and the cost of hitting the target. They want to equip part of the ammunition with such missiles under the UAV.

[rocket757]

This is logical. Firing a cannon at the sparrows is expensive.

[svp67]

In the current conditions, such a system is a waste of money until a 23-mm projectile with a radio detonation is developed ... And so let them spend money, this is their decision

[newcomer]

Fir trees have fallen, but what about decommunization?

[sergo1914]

Wangyu. The Armenians will be offered.

Not only barmaley. Cool stuff. Gives a lot of emotions. You sit in Shilka, you see nothing. And then there was a crash, shells were falling, movement. And if also with rotation ... Lyapota.
IMHO, the most brutal option is on MT-LB.

[voyaka uh]

Where is the radar?
Without MHR (Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar) radars,
as on the Stryker, these anti-aircraft guns are a dead poultice.
The drones will carry them out like little children.

[iouris]

Quote: voyaka uh

The drones will take them out

It depends on who the eventual opponent is.

[Incvizitor]

Collective farm tuning this

[Danila46]

This thing makes smoke, drank and noise. But does it hit ?????

[Senka naughty]

When will Natavtsy stop riveting "new" air defense systems from the backlog of Soviet scrap metal? USSR power - Nata's grave.

[Anar]

Bayraktar spits bombs for 8 km. That is, by throwing bombs even without an engine, the drone is not available to this system.
