Tests of the Czech wheeled self-propelled howitzer "Dana-M2" began in Ukraine

77

In Ukraine, the tests of the Czech self-propelled guns Dana-M2, which are planned to be put into service with the Ukrainian army, have begun. According to the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, one sample of "Dana" was delivered to the Rivne region.

The Ukrainian military department has begun testing the Czech Dana M2 self-propelled howitzer, which, if positive feedback is received, should replace the Soviet-made D-20 towed howitzers in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In total, according to the plans of the Ukrainian military, the Armed Forces should receive 26 Czech self-propelled guns. It is noted that apart from the Czech Republic, no country was able to offer Ukraine similar wheeled self-propelled guns.



The question arises, what about the "famous" Ukrainian self-propelled howitzer "Bogdan" caliber 155 mm, why is the Czech self-propelled gun "Dana-M2" purchased, and not her? The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has an answer to this: the 152-mm self-propelled gun "Dana M2" is not a competitor to the Ukrainian self-propelled guns, since the "Bogdana" will go into service with artillery brigades. True, when it comes is not explained, but the shells for its tests have already been purchased. Currently, the only prototype ACS "Bogdan" is at the "Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Plant".


The Czech self-propelled gun DANA-M2 is a deep modernization of the self-propelled gun ShKH Dana vz. 77, this variant appeared in 2018. Ukraine may become the first foreign operator of a Czech howitzer; so far, no self-propelled gun has entered service with other countries. For what reason, one can only guess. Maybe 152 mm caliber doesn't suit, or maybe something else.

          The car is interesting by the way. In the 80s, they wanted to put an early version of Dana into service with the SA. Apparently they did not find any advantages over our ACS, but there is one drawback. It does not charge from the ground.

                I think there is not much to experience there. The tower is standard with an excellent elevation angle, the tower rotates 180 degrees, the stabilizers are appropriate. You don't need to turn around to get away quickly. At the Czech, the cab of the tractor looks at the opponents, therefore it requires a turn. A useful thing, the network of roads, including unpaved roads, allows it to be used effectively. I agree, a formidable and highly mobile weapon and I am glad that ours did better. The Malva is still being tested, where the crew left the massive turret for the tractor cab. Even more correct, they got rid of the extra load.

            In the 94th year, 4 new Dans came to Vtorchermet of Astana for cutting, with one of them he twisted a small turret with an armored shutter that was on the top.
            It does not charge from the ground, there are AZ and the shells are installed vertically in the belt on the sides.

      There is a discussion on the size of the rollback. As soon as the "testers" agree, they will report to Zelensky: the rollback is normal, you can take it, and you can not even bring it, the main thing is to transfer money and get a bribe, and self-propelled guns can immediately be written off as lost in battle.

          You shouldn't be sneering. This is a very formidable weapon, and highly mobile at that. It is not in vain that the Kakaly move away from the towed artillery. It can be said that this is an analogue of the current "Archer" for the ATS countries. And naturally the Czechs have modernized it more than once.

            The wheel system, in principle, cannot be highly mobile, especially for a real war. The wheelbase is for road driving, a frivolous thing. In order for this to shoot, you must first turn around, put on supports, and this is the time. Such cars are ersatz for beggars.

          Azerbaijan has its 36 pieces. He combined 152 mm Dana self-propelled wheeled howitzers made in the Czech Republic into a separate artillery brigade, which, while quickly moving from site to site on the southern front, provided the appropriate results. The Azerbaijani side, she said, purchased the specified self-propelled guns "for the rate of fire, mobility and other outstanding tactical and technical characteristics." The Azerbaijani army also used Russian Msta-S, Pions and other artillery systems in the conflict.

            There is truth in your words, but there is one nuance. The Azerbaijani side preferred deep modernization in Israel. Israeli specialists worked on a fire system, satellite communications and other innovations, and yesterday I personally spoke with a person who served in the 2nd Karabakh war and they were impressed not only by the rate of fire, but also by the accuracy of this system. I will not lie, whose version of modernization is better, the Czech version or the Israeli, but a friend told me that they fired back and immediately changed positions, and behind them there was always some truck with ammunition driving and quickly filling up ammunition ... Everything was automatic.

            Also true. In the conflict, both Peony and Msta-S were used in full, which also showed themselves excellently. Only as far as I understand, Dans can more quickly change the place of dislaktion. The comrade says the most powerful is Peony in terms of power.

            I agree completely.
            They are ungrateful. In the 2nd Karabakh war, the Russian side helped many of them, including from the shameful defeat of the last troops. Do you know what they say in response? Yesterday or the day before yesterday, in the Armenian parliament .......... these "ancient" and "brave" ones began to insult Russia's weapons, comparing its quality to kolosh. Ungrateful.

              When I studied at the military school (air defense), we had an Armenian and an Azerbaijani, both dumb as traffic jams, either only such people went to the military, or they are all like that. Well, the Armenians are not capable of mastering complex techniques and applying them, yes, they can trade. Azerbaijanis are not far away, but they have more money, and the Turks helped them.

                  There are also famous Armenians. The question is not how many smart people there are in the nation, but on the average level and in those who go to the army (this is for war). In the army, I encountered Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Asians, you can say about everyone the way Zadornov said about the Americans. Example: an Armenian, after 4 years of military school, knew only two words close to technology: pendot (pentode) and kandot (cathode), the Russians were expelled, and these national cadres graduated from the school. Do you know how an Armenian was pushed into a military school (according to him)? They said that they are training to be an agronomist.

          So, if the enemy's command is stupid, then in Ukraine the self-propelled guns will be abandoned or destroyed by the LPNR ...
          There are a lot of barrel PAs in the APU, but the ACS after 2014-2015. has become smaller, the purchase of a Czech SPG only confirms this .... the choice of the specified SPG is successful, because any other self-propelled guns of the same caliber will be much more expensive ...
          Due to the lack of technology and competencies in Ukraine, the production of barrels for artillery (as well as small arms) weapons in the future does not give any prospects for creating its own self-propelled guns, there are no large operators of Soviet self-propelled guns in the CIS countries (except for the Russian Federation) either ...
          In 5-7 years, Ukraine will be forced to completely abandon Soviet artillery systems and switch to "enemy" weapons .... barrel wear and ammunition consumption will do their job ....

      except for the Czech Republic, not a single country was able to offer Ukraine similar wheeled self-propelled guns.
      Or maybe other countries didn’t want to offer anything? Considering recent events, it is safe to say that the Czech and the Ukrainian are twins. Only the Czechs, trying to make money, do not take into account the Ukrainian mentality, on which more than one Ukrainian partner has been burned.

        It seems to me that on the supplies of the Czech BMP-1 through Poland, everything has been welded. The EU will not allow itself to be thrown to Ukraine.

      During the Soviet era, after Gorbachev's surrender, several military units from the Warsaw Pact countries arrived in our city. One part arrived from Hungary and were armed with Czech self-propelled howitzers "Dana". So only these howitzers left the echelon on their own. Everything else was pulled together with a crane or tractors. At the time, there were many Czech Tatra trucks in the national economy, so all these “Danes” quickly went as donors of spare parts to the Tatras. But the holiday was over quickly, all those Czech Tatras on air-cooled engines. Requires special high temperature engine oil. And such special oil simply did not exist anywhere. I don't think there is such oil in Ukraine.

          My dad took over to teach me. I took a pry bar. I say Dad's hand will hurt. From the block, the property will suffer. Bottom line. He took Father on his arms and carried him to sleep. What else could he do. I have 90 kg and KMS in SAMBO, but there is only 60 in it. Other mistresses weigh more heavily

      We bought 26 new, modern howitzers. This is probably why we have again, from the first of May, the price of a communal apartment.

        There is a 152mm cannon on Dan, a Soviet caliber and a Soviet cannon. I have not heard about rearmament at 155mm. Although a similar system was modernized near Slovakia, they may have supplied a NATO weapon.
