Modernized "Grad": the Ukrainian Armed Forces adopted the new MLRS "Verba"

54

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have adopted a new multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) "Verba". In fact, this is a modernized "Grad".

The message about the adoption of the system for service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine appeared on the official portal of the state concern "Ukroboronprom".



The Grad MLRS, known back in the USSR, replaced the traditional Ural chassis with the KrAZ in Ukraine. But the "modernization" was not limited to this. A number of functions that were previously performed manually are now in automatic mode. Thanks to modern digital systems, the crew can automatically aim, control fire and reload the installation.

Like the BM-21 Grad, the new vehicle uses an ammunition load of 40 122 mm rockets. Now, thanks to upgrades, it takes ten minutes to recharge. The maximum range of destruction of MLRS targets is 40 km.

In "Ukroboronprom" declare a multiple reduction in the time required to open fire.

A new platform stabilization system was also installed on the machine, which significantly increases the accuracy of firing.

The first sample of the "Verba" MLRS was demonstrated back in 2015. For the first time, the Ministry of Defense announced the completion of state tests of the vehicle and its adoption by the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the end of 2019, but then it had not yet reached mass production. True, there is no need to talk about the mass scale of supplies to the Ukrainian troops today.

    KrAZ went bankrupt a year ago.
    Moreover, the "Tornado G" is much weaker

      Bankruptcy does not mean at all that the production will be closed. They bankrupt KrAZ solely for the purpose of taking it away from the former owner (Zhevago).

        They are going to produce, in the future, electric vehicles.
        There are a lot of debts, the machine park needs to be replaced.
        ONE hope is an American contract.
        By the way, the design bureau does not actually work, and there is no question of modernizing cars (not to mention development).
        I think there will be Tatras and Iveco
        MAIN THING, there is no money.

    In fact, this is a modernized "Grad".
    I have long been interested in the question - when will they create exclusively their own? Everything from the Soviet and at the same time yelling good things about decommunization, de-Sovietization ... Here, at least the chassis was changed and even on trifles, and often it is enough to paint it with fresh paint, give a new name and loudly report on the creation of "new" weapons.

      To create your own, you need research institutes, design bureaus, developed industry and, of course, competent specialists, but all this is not in Ukraine, all the former legacy of the USSR was successfully plundered, destroyed and sold for scrap.

      in this matter, it is a little different, here both the machine and the installation made their own rocket. the question is whether they will be able to make flow, missiles and installations.

The ancient KrAZ, the package of guides from the "Grad", is even more ancient, and since you wrote about missiles, I answered about the missile - "Neptune".

        Are you now equating the USSR with Bandera-Ukraine?

        Great October Socialist to the Maidan coup?

        But there was a struggle with the "royal heritage".


        So much "struggle" that a lot of military experts, including tsarist generals, participated in the creation of the Red Army and worked in the military-industrial complex (if you can call it that) of the Soviet Union.

        VNA Ukraine, something similar is observed. during their purges of everything Soviet?

          What's the difference? If we discard the political component? I'm talking about the technical side of the issue.
          Factories remained from the previous system (both there and there), specialists remained (both there and there). The school of new personnel appeared later.
          So, a decade later, the production of NEW weapons began.
          And so: in the Great Patriotic War with the "tsarist" three-line, revolver, Maxim, destroyers, minesags, Lender's three-inch, and then the list is available.
          On the technical side, do you have anything to say?

            First, explain why you are reporting on the "restart" of the economy of the military-industrial complex of Soviet Russia from October 1917, and not from the date of the actual cessation of the Civil War, when it actually became possible to pay due attention to the development of the country.

            In 1991, Ukraine did not get the economy after the World War and the Civil War ...

            What are you comparing?

            In addition, "technically", the first Soviet Tokarev machine gun based on the "German" MG.08 / 15 was created in 1924.

              I take the countdown of the neighboring country in the current realities - from 2014.
              There is still a military conflict / civil war going on there.
              And the example you cited, if I am not mistaken, did not become massive.
              The first serial - DP. 1927 year.
              MT in the amount of 2500 pieces is also a "legacy" only from imperial Germany.
              And back to the "Grad-Verba". Are there technical arguments?

              Well, according to the logic of those who in such cases mention decommunization , it was necessary to list what I have listed immediately after the end of the civil war, to throw it away and wait for the Diagterevs, Tokarevs, Kotins and Grabins to create something. New. Soviet.
              But they really modernized the Mosinka, the three-inch model and flew a little on Ilya Muromets ...

    Now, thanks to upgrades, it takes ten minutes to recharge.
    About three or four years ago I asked here - do we have a TPM for BM-21, I didn’t receive an answer and in the net didn’t find anything but how to shove shells into the installation with a "stick". I was interested because the idea of ​​such a machine arose, capable of equipping the installation in a maximum of five minutes without any special alterations to the installation. TZM - 4-axle KamAZ equipped in the body with an arrow in the upper part of the body, which extends along the rails to the gun + winch, with a capacity of three full packages of shells. A container similar to the BM installation with guides for precise connection with the installation, which has an air chamber with pushers in the rear part of the pea-type type - drove up to the BM, attached a transport package, opened the crane, the air (standard KAMAZ compressor) pushed the projectiles, you can have four chambers for each row, unhooked, left. There is no need to load, unload the shells and store them, the TZM left for cover or went to the next installation. Is it really not necessary and not relevant to us?
