The first batch of deeply modernized 203-mm self-propelled guns 2S7M "Malka" was handed over to the military

The first batch of modernized self-propelled guns 2S7M "Malka" was handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defense. According to the press service of "Uralvagonzavod", the updated equipment has already been sent to the troops.

The message does not contain information on the number of military equipment transferred to the military, it only notes that this is the first batch of 203-mm self-propelled guns 2S7M "Malka", which have undergone major overhaul with deep modernization within the framework of the state defense order. The modernization was carried out at Uraltransmash, work was carried out on the equipment 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 entire batch has already been shipped and sent to the military. Note that in April last year "UVZ" announced a deep modernization of the first ACS 2S7M "Malka" and readiness for serial modernization of the entire fleet of self-propelled guns. Apparently, the Ministry of Defense signed a corresponding contract with the concern.

The 2S7M "Malka" with a 2A44 cannon of 203 mm caliber is capable of firing various types of ammunition, including active-reactive and special ammunition with a nuclear warhead. Large-caliber self-propelled guns were once developed as a means of a possible tactical nuclear strike. The first modification - 2S7 "Pion" - has been in operation since 1975, the modernized version - 2S7M - since 1986.

The combat weight of the 2S7M "Malka" in the previous layout was 46,5 tons, the crew was 6 people, the radio station R-173 was used, the ammunition carried was 8 rounds, the self-propelled gun was brought into combat position within 7 minutes. As Rostec reported last year, new-generation shells are being developed for Malka.

When I was young, such a crap from around the corner crawled out at my home plant, when I used to drink for the night shift .. I almost swallowed a cigarette butt - a kind of dreadful man .. Looks like a big device with destructive power .. Respect.

I heard how in 2015 I worked for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Airport area.

It didn't help.

[Orange bigg]

The firing range was increased to almost 50 km. In general, the modernization was a success.

. Compared to its predecessor, the "Malka" had an increased rate of fire (from 1,5 rounds per minute to 2,5), and also reduced the time to transfer to a combat position (from ten to seven minutes).

In addition, Viktor Baranets recalls, Malka received a new engine, which was more powerful than the Pion's power plant.

“Despite the heavy weight, with the new 840-horsepower engine, the car can reach speeds of over 50 km / h on the highway. At the same time, the aiming system was radically improved, ”the expert added.

“In addition, a special mechanized apparatus was installed on the Malka, which allows loading a cannon directly from a transport vehicle. This significantly increased the reload speed, which is fundamentally important for artillery. Moreover, the automation of some of the processes at Malka made it possible to reduce the crew from seven to six people, ”the expert added.

The main weapon of the ACS 2S7M is a 2 mm caliber 44A203 rifled cannon. This gun can fire projectiles weighing up to 110 kg at a distance of up to 47,5 km.

In an interview with RT, a military expert, retired colonel Viktor Litovkin, noted that the updated Malka would increase the combat capability of the Russian Armed Forces.

“There is a new guidance system, calculation of range, direction of fire, communication with satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as automated preparation of a shot. In addition, the Malka has a new engine and chassis. Many stats have been improved. Now it is a modern weapon that will significantly strengthen the Russian artillery units, ”the expert noted.

Litovkin especially emphasized the improvement of the firing accuracy of the modernized "Malka".

“To deliver strikes in the tactical depth of the enemy's defense, you need to get the exact coordinates of the target and carry out calculations for shooting. Now "Malka", together with drones and an electronic computing center, is able to solve these problems faster and more efficiently, "he explained.

It's time for the country to build up muscle, and where to go. Geopolitics, ulcerate it.

I served at Peonies. 228th ABRBM, Shuya, Ivanovo region Senior calculator.

[mat-vey]

Have you ever encountered a simulator of a nuclear projectile?

[Bubuzon]

I even cocked the phone on him.

[mat-vey]

And I heard the story from the deputy chief of staff of the division ... a big check, from the big stars dazzles and sparkles in the eyes, the headquarters and district four helicopters flew ... the commission gives the order to charge the simulator. They bring the container and issue the cipher-keys .. the container we barely opened, but how did it get to the clamp on the leading belt - well, as a result, all parasites and the Motherland do not like (if, briefly, in the site's regulations Well, the deputy chief says - I'm an arrogant man, I say, let your highbrow from the retinue teach us, uh ... the orphans. And they set the same code, but the clamp is not removed. The general freaked out everyone in the helicopters and check on this ended ... But then he says he got a call from the district and on behalf of the general EXCITED !!!!!! - the dummy turned out to be new and did not allow even a micron deviation of the figure from the risk ...

[Old tanker]

I spent my childhood there in Shuya among these machines. Military unit 48446. First, the brigade was a mixed "Peonies" and "Tulips". Because of them, I became a tanker. we love to ride a "Tulip" in MAP for a mechanic drive. Then, instead of "Tulips", "Malki" sang. The brigade was disbanded in the late 90s due to the Treaty on the Limitation of Conventional Arms in Europe.
Then the familiar officers of this brigade worked with "Tulips" in Grozny. After that, the newly formed 2S4 division was withdrawn to a new deployment site in Tambov. Subsequently, it was deployed to the brigade, having received 2S7.

[Bubuzon]

Native MAP. How much time I spent there at the command post with the officers. We also had political studies in the class there. There was also a model of a nuclear projectile in a container. We used it to learn how to cock the pipe.

[Old tanker]

Yes, it was a cool polygon. I really liked the diarama there. Impressive at the time.

[Ryaruav]

Konstantin, so sometimes it was chirkanul, now it is read at times like that of a beza, people served in different branches of the army and the navy, who are urgent but interesting about you officers, because you are the basis of the army and navy

[vervolk]

just then the targets were clustered on one non-brotherly territory ...

[kventinasd]

The non-brothers themselves have more than 90 such self-propelled guns, although not modernized.

[Vadim237]

They have weapons, but only the production of 203 mm ammunition they do not have, as they do not, and all EU members and the United States have it.

[Bubuzon]

These of them were smacking in Donbas.

[Uncle lee]

203 mm caliber

Almost a battleship!

The reborn "Stalin's Sledgehammer" ...

[Bubuzon]

He began to serve in the brigade with the B-4M. Also 203 mm. Then they transplanted to "Peonies".

[mat-vey]

So they kind of high-explosive approached each other and 3BV2 started to "saw" on the B-4 ...

[Ryaruav]

Vladimir, battleships 380-460 have chumodans, and you mean 8 inches, this is for the Washington cruisers

This is our asymmetrical response to American Javelin.

[Andrey Moskvin]

Asymmetric in the sense that it is not at all in the subject?

[Normann]

The answer is Zircon - if you use your logic

[Bubuzon]

It can throw one kiloton at 30 km.

[tralflot1832]

I wonder how KAZ will show itself on any partner's tank, if it will show 203 mm from above, will it run away with the turret?

[Zaurbek]

If it hits next to a tank, the tank flips over .... not with nuclear warheads, of course.

[just exp]

from 17 kg of explosive overturns the tank?

[unhappy]

A bomb of 100 kilograms with fragments pierced 30 mm armor of German tanks (with a close fall), Abrams's engine compartment has 14 mm of armor, but even a simple action on the body kit and the tank's instruments would actually put him out of action. Tanks now require delicacy

[just exp]

I'm not talking about breaking through, but about the fact that a 17kg explosive tank is OVERCOME.
look at what 152mm shells were bookmarked in Iraq, and the tank did not overturn there (although they burned excellently). although a dozen 152mm land mines were more than 70kg of explosives under the track were not turned over.
and here 17kg is turned over in a few meters.
but in Lebanon there was a case that yes, the tank was overturned, only there was not 17kg, and not even 70, but a ton.

[Zaurbek]

As the colonel told me at the military department, so I wrote. Maybe soil deformation + blast wave ...

[Vadim237]

It would be better for this weapon to create an actively reactive projectile to counter the low rate of fire and dramatically increase the effectiveness of the fire.

[Old tanker]

It was originally active-reactive. But uncontrollable. But the "Tulip" with its 240mm controlled "Daredevil" was notable for folding houses in Grozny.

[Orange bigg]

New ammunition has been developed.

It should be noted that the ACS 2S7M "Malka", which has a 2 mm caliber 44A203 cannon in its arsenal, is capable of firing various types of ammunition, including active-reactive and special ammunition with a nuclear warhead.

Moreover, in 2020, representatives of Rostec announced that a number of new generation ammunition was developed for this weapon.

It is known that Malka will receive ammunition developed on the basis of the PTKM-1R anti-roof mine, which is significantly different from traditional weapons and is capable of attacking armored vehicles from the upper hemisphere.

These high-precision munitions are equipped with infrared and radar sensors, as well as acoustic and seismic target search devices.

It is believed that this high-precision gliding ammunition is guaranteed not to leave a single chance for any of the existing types of armored vehicles.

Moreover, with the help of this gliding ammunition, it is possible to work on fortifications, which is undoubtedly a pleasant bonus for the Russian artillery troops.

[Nikolaevich I]

Judging by the "base", this PT-ammunition-SPBE ... and from which "banana" "is it possible to work on fortifications ..."?

[Zaurbek]

The main trend now is ramjet projectiles ... in the West they are trying to make in calibers 130 and 155mm

[Bubuzon]

I went to Orenburg in 3 to test the "Brave" with the 1984rd division.

For what? It is too specific. Here is the "Coalition", faster and more

[rosomaha]

And I have such a question. This ACS was moderated in 1986 .. it received the designation 2S7m Malka, as described in the article. Why does the modern SPG have the same designation again? Otherwise, it seems that it will be modernized according to the 1986 program, only with the components updated "physically", and not "morally" with the transition to ACS and greater automation. As a consequence, a decrease in the deployment deployment time, an increase in the rate of fire, and a reduction in the crew. Increased accuracy and firing range.

And I saw the video of the APU columns as part of the 2S7M "Malka" and TZM to them in the Kramatorsk region
And there were also videos of Ukrainian APUs who beat them by YES!

[unhappy]

I remember on YouTube they showed such a car abandoned by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, they probably fired later.

[Skipper]

It would also be necessary to modernize the Tulip thoroughly. There will be a complete set and beauty !!!! And then Pionchik was eventually moderated ... even twice ... but they forgot about Tulip ... ay-ay-ay !! Not good.

[Nikolay Sayenko]

they haven't forgotten about "Tulips" ...

[Flooding]

Quote: Skipper

It would also be necessary to modernize the Tulip thoroughly.

"Within the framework of the state defense order-2017, repairs were carried out according to the technical condition in the amount of medium repair of vehicles with modernization. As noted in the military department, during such modernization, modern control and communication means were installed on the Tulips, allowing the weapon to work in a single tactical echelon system. . "

reported in 2017 by tass.ru

[Old tanker]

"Aqueducts" were installed on them instead of P-123 / P-173 and calmed down on that.

[DED_peer_DED]

There was a possibility of aiming at the target with the help of UAVs.

Did not understand.
Like, for itself?
And, where is the sending authority, where?
But I love long-segmented systems.

[Gray Wolf_30]

A good caliber for putting enemies to rest!

[shinobi]

The anti-bunker scrap has been updated, and it is good, very good.

[storm]

If the Coalition in 152mm caliber can hit targets at a distance of 70 km, then it is quite possible to send shells in 203mm caliber for 100 km or more.
This is very important in counter-battery combat, striking air defense systems, airfields, OTRK and other important targets when charge power can be sacrificed to ensure increased range and accuracy.

[Zaurbek]

For this, there must be an appropriate barrel made according to the Coalition barrel technologies ..... and a Projectile with some kind of correction. 203mm can accommodate a lot. But the idea is sensible, there is no tower here and you can put anything - even a super long 152mm, even a new 203mm

[Bubuzon]

Our unit is shooting at Gorokhovets.
