Russian pilots in the NVO zone will soon receive the latest high-power aircraft missiles "Armoured Pilot"

After the start of the special operation, the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex not only increase the output of military products, but also carry out constant work on the modernization of existing weapons and the serial production of new types weapons and ammunition. In the confrontation with the Ukrainian army, which is supplied with everything necessary by about fifty states of the Western bloc, the use of the RF Armed Forces demonstrates high efficiency. aviation means of destroying enemy targets.

In their manufacture and modernization, the Russian defense industry also does not stand still. The use of planning bombs, which began not so long ago, has become a real headache for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as the Ukrainian command itself has repeatedly stated.



It became known that the newest high-power air missiles with the very apt name "Armoured Piercer" began to enter service with the Russian aviation. He spoke about the serial production of new ammunition for the Russian Aerospace Forces RIA News Deputy General Director of the Techmash Concern (part of the Rostec State Corporation) Alexander Kochkin.

The armor-piercing missile has been put into service and has already gone into production, and there are first orders. This year we will already be able to see its use in the NWO zone.

- Kochkin told reporters at the International Arms Exhibition MILEX-2023, which takes place from May 17 to 20 in Minsk.

The new aircraft projectile is also unique in that it can be used both on Su-25 aircraft and Mi-8 series helicopters and other aircraft in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces. It is enough that a helicopter or aircraft has on board a unit for launching unguided rockets. Armor-piercer should expand the range of S-8 shells of 80 mm caliber.

According to information from open sources, the Armor Piercer warhead is five to six times more powerful than previous models, which allows it to break through significant obstacles made of various materials and destroy well-fortified fortifications.

The deputy general director of NPK Tekhmash told reporters that the leading Russian concern for the manufacture of ammunition increased the production of missiles for MLRS in the first quarter of this year by twenty times compared to the same period in 2022. In total, the enterprise produced the same amount of ammunition for the needs of the Ministry of Defense in the first three months as was produced for the entire last year, Kochkin said.

Earlier, the Director General of the Rostec State Corporation Sergey Chemezov called the statements of the Ukrainian and Western media that the Russian armed forces allegedly experience “shell hunger” during the special operation “complete nonsense” as “complete nonsense”.

      Is an armor-piercer what our VKS needs?
      Armor-piercer received a small-sized high-energy mixed solid fuel engine. Energy efficiency per unit of its mass increased by 1,8-2 times compared with the previous solid propellant rocket engine. At the same time, despite the reduction in weight and dimensions, the S-80FP power plant retained the ability to work effectively in extreme temperature conditions. In addition, the Splav specialists reduced the recoil energy of the rocket by 1,5–2 times during single and serial salvo firing, reduced the load on the carrier's airframe and eliminated the possibility of fuel particles flying out during firing.


      The integration of a small-sized engine into the design of the S-80FP made it possible to triple the volume of the “combat load” and increase the maximum ballistic firing range of the ammunition to 11 km. Along with this, the Tula specialists improved the accuracy of the Armor Piercer. The newest 122 mm caliber Monolith ammunition should become the further development of the Armor Piercer.

    I am very happy. But knowing the rules of the Russian language, I would like to know more precisely - "soon" is it in a year? Three? Or in the next life promising? And yes, whatever you call a ship, that's how it will float. I won’t quote, it turns out the whole thing is in the name .... Everyone is happy, we clap our hands together .... There are no words, one untranslatable folk vocabulary. The main thing is to show the achievements of the national economy at the exhibition and say a couple of lines for hype and advertising.

        He did not think against armor, he did not have a cumulative, but a high-explosive fragmentation penetrating part - to break fortifications and pick concrete. Although there will be enough armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles, and with guaranteed destruction. So not everything is so clear. Although you still feel bewildered - in such a caliber you won’t get an effective “concrete breaker” - therefore, it can turn out to be a good thing, but at the same time not according to your calling.

    It is necessary not to do stupid things, but to equip the helicopter with a gliding FPV quadrocopter, which at a height of 10 m will drop its "wings", launch propellers and go to a reconnoitered target at a height of 5 m. When a target is visually detected, it will lower by 1 m and attack the target. You can place several operators on mi 8!

    Armor penetration S-8KOM 400 mm. Will the new ones be known in 2000 - 2400? Yeah, why what, but now they know how to lie.
    And yes, in my opinion, S-8KOM is more than enough. And this new development is nothing more than an imitation of activity.
    In reality, helicopters need even old Sturm ATGMs in sufficient quantities.
    But with this, our military-industrial complex somehow does not work.

        Yeah, also smoke and lighting along the way. Don't tell me stories. S-8BM, the same penetrating ones, we still had in Afghanistan.
        And kill yourself on your nose, it’s impossible to make ammunition penetrating and at the same time cumulative, this is a completely different impact and different requirements.
        The same applies to increasing the mass of explosives in warheads. Do you think the Soviet designers were such idiots that they didn’t think of stuffing more?

          And kill yourself on your nose, it’s impossible to make ammunition penetrating and at the same time cumulative, this is a completely different impact and different requirements.

          It is possible, just two different steps are made, but it is meaningless in such a combination. And so the scheme with a cumulative first stage, after which the second (OP) fires, leaning through a punched hole over an obstacle and exploding behind it, is used not so rarely, starting with RPGs and ending with torpedoes.
          The same applies to increasing the mass of explosives in warheads. Do you think the Soviet designers were such idiots that they didn’t think of stuffing more?

          Soviet designers proceeded from a balance, where on one side of the scale is the thrust that must be created with the TT available for that time period, and on the other what remains on the warhead. Replaced ballistite with STT - freed up space for extra explosives.

            So S-8KO and S-8KOM are such, double-acting, albeit in one stage.

            Nothing new either, just in 1986, to reduce the cost, there was a transition from STT to ballistite.
            To be honest, it was a rather unpleasant surprise.
            At first, when loading into blocks, it turned out that, as before, it was impossible to send projectiles sweepingly into guide shells. They were thrown out of glasses.
            But much more puzzled the first launch. If the old C-8s left softly, with a light whitish haze, then the new ones left a dense cloud of black smoke, and even some lumps flew.
            In addition, the engines of the large series were negatively treated.

              The fragmentation effect of KO and KOM is simply the result of an additional fragmentation jacket for a conventional cumulative warhead. Shrapnel defeat in front of the barrier occurs. Perfect is not the principle that I described. Western terminology qualifies these points somewhat better. The principle of the S-8KO and S-8KOM is HEAT-MP - cumulative multi-purpose (that is, with an "anti-personnel" effect). And what I described above is classified as HEMAT-HE-FT (cumulative with a spherical funnel penetrating high-explosive), sometimes it is simply shortened to HEFT. An example is the Spanish Alcotan-ABK from Instalase, or the German Pzf 3 BKF from Dynamite Nobel.

                A little wrong. The main effect of the S-8KOM is all high-explosive fragmentation, and the cumulative effect is already as a bonus, if you are lucky to hit the armored target with its accuracy. Because it is a universal NAR and is the most massive. Then a purely anti-personnel C-8C and other delights.
                And in fact, all this fuss with the "armor-piercer", in my opinion, on the order of the "Milevites".
                It's no secret that the Mi-28 cannot work with the S-8 series, only two from the block. The layout of the helicopter is such that the gases from the propjet fell directly to the input of the helicopter's engine. So I had to fuss with the PRR. And warhead, this is already a bonus.
                By the way, here is a more sensible article.

                  Understood. Then, in accordance with the above classification, it does not belong to HEAT-MP, but to HEDP (High Explosive Dual Use).

                  PS No, still HEDP - C-8, C-8KOM - HEAT-MP, judging by the funnel. Although almost twin brothers.

                    And again, if we discard the incident with the Mi-28, the main problem with the S-8 is not at all the weakness of the warhead, but its accuracy. To sense from increase in power if all the same by.
                    After all, the modern development of electronics makes it possible to equip these fairly powerful NARs with the simplest seeker using laser target illumination.
                    Further, again, using small UAVs (which are much cheaper than drums), search for and highlight targets. And planes, or helicopters, being over their territory, on the WWI and from cabriolet (that is, outside the air defense coverage area) will throw these missiles as needed into a given area, where they will already be directed.

                      If we are talking about single launches, and even from extreme distances, for a single target, then yes.
                      The calculation was that a salvo launch increases the mathematical expectation of defeat and from 2 km sows a rectangle of 16 by 4 meters (without taking into account the skill of the pilot, only the technical dispersion is 8 and 2 mrad, respectively) in accordance with the law of normal distribution almost evenly. And that means everyone will get fragments - 3 grams is serious. After all, the era of these NARs came at a time when the GOS in caliber 80 mm was only in science fiction books.

                        That's it. Moreover, at present, the cost of a passive laser seeker will be lower than the S-8 NAR itself. And how much will the performance increase?
