Self-propelled gunners of the Southern Military District received the latest modification of self-propelled guns - 2С19М2 "Msta-S"

More than 35 modernized 152-mm self-propelled howitzers 2С19М2 "Msta-S" were the first to receive the gunners of the motorized rifle brigade of the Southern Military District (SOR), stationed in the Stavropol Territory.

According to the Press Service of the Southern Military District, all commanders of howitzer self-propelled artillery batteries of the compound in order to improve their skills and professional training were retrained to this artillery system at the factory.

New artillery system 2C19М2 "Msta-S" has significant design differences from the previous modification. The upgraded self-propelled howitzers installed a new automated fire control system, increased target rate of fire, and also has the ability to use digital electronic maps, which significantly speeds up the orientation of the terrain in difficult physiographic conditions and allows you to perform fire tasks more quickly and more efficiently.

Also, to reduce the visibility of self-propelled artillery on the battlefield, the Cape kit is used, which, in combination with heat shields, allows you to simultaneously increase protection from radar, thermal and optical detection by more than 1,5 times, resulting in a decrease in the effectiveness of high-precision weapons.

The MSTA-S highly mobile armored self-propelled artillery installation is designed to destroy openly located and protected targets (manpower, armored and unarmored combat equipment, field fortifications, anti-aircraft and anti-missile defenses, enemy control points and rear facilities).

          Always charge from the ground. Even with full conveyors.
          Ammunition is fired only when it is impossible to quickly deliver ammunition and lay them on the ground. For example, when receiving fire missions on the march. Or when the enemy is engaged in an active counter-battery fight.

            I’ve seen it from the ground, but what’s manually loading from the ammunition rack has caused confusion. Yes, even so famously throws a meter down a charge.

                        I do not argue. And most of the volume of these cameras falls on bulky and heavy optics from drop dead expensively illuminated glass.

                    There are many nuances.
                    If you try to reduce the number of guns firing at a target in this way, then not really. Probability cannot be fooled. 4 out of 4 guns is more accurate than 4 out of one.
                    If the whole battery or division shoots like this, then it’s effective: less time to hit the target is safer for the gunners themselves, you can quickly take off the fire. And the effect itself from the simultaneous detonation of a large number of shells is higher.

                        Thank you, I guess that without a full automatic loader, such a trick is possible, rather, theoretically, and then with 2-3 shells. And how did it happen that, having such a practice of designing automatic loaders, they didn’t master it here (if only because the caliber is large and the shells are heavy)?

                        The loading of the projectile itself is fully mechanized. Moreover, the loading mechanism remembers the type of projectile, and casts exactly what is required.

                        But here, not everything is simple. So you can shoot only at the factory settings. If otherwise required, it takes time to manually spec. made shell keys. So, electronic fuses and remote input devices are needed. We have both, but so far it’s not going to the army

                        Tell me, here’s another theoretical question: if the charge in the sleeve is maximum, can this be compensated by the elevation angle of the gun, or does the board (in the sense of resource) become excessive?

                        sorry, less accuracy - is it because the projectile is longer in the air? (I mean, longer - how next)

                        And from what is longer, and from what is higher.
                        For example, the error due to the unaccounted deviation of the projectile weight will be the greater, the longer it flies.
                        But the same errors in determining the correction for wind not only last longer. The higher the trajectory, the greater the likelihood of error in determining the effect of wind on the projectile
                        This is so, in a simple way. Without going into the jungle of probability theory and error theory.

                        A decrease in accuracy in artillery is "cured" simply by increasing the consumption of shells on the target.

                        To get a rebound, you need a meeting angle of up to 20 degrees on ground targets, and up to 10 - on surface targets. There will be more - there will be no rebound.

                        Forgive me generously, gentlemen, if suddenly someone does not like my opinion. And its essence is as follows. On the video - a NEW (albeit not very) 2C19 M1 with the ASUNO 1V168 system. Ammunition on it (as in all previous 2C19) is automated. The shooting time is not long ago, the calculation in pixel form is dressed. And the conclusion from here is this. The new car was killed, and the calculation carries out charging in duplication mode. ASUNO does not work, half of the buttons have already fallen out and the doorway .. oh, lost. They mock the machine and ruin the materiel by dropping shells weighing 43 kg onto the cartridge case.
                        The work of the loader is not at all hellish if the commander and crew have enough brains and a desire to keep the car in order. 2S19 rate of fire in short-term series (up to 10 shots) - 5 seconds a shot, or 12 shots per minute. I declare this with full responsibility, I shot personally and repeatedly. It is quite capable of hanging several shells on a trajectory, but at this level of ASUNO such a task is absent in its software. Maybe in 2S19M2 there is, I don’t know this. I know one thing - if the control system is disabled, and even without buttons, if the loading mechanism does not work as usual - you can shoot only as in this video. Personally, I would be ashamed to spread such a shame at all.

                Calculations, it, of course, is an important matter. It is only necessary to take into account that the projectile flies to a long range for quite a long time - several tens of seconds, depending on the range, the charge used and the chosen trajectory. And atmospheric factors alone - which are constant. albeit insignificantly, the changes ultimately make a rather significant contribution to the deviation from the calculated point.

        Modernization to the level of 2S19M2 by ORK "Dilemma-2" also provides for the installation of new 2A64M2 howitzers with higher tactical and technical data. In particular, the rate of fire should increase to 10 rounds per minute (in any case, Khlopotov names such a figure). If this is the same version with a 52 caliber barrel length, then the range will definitely increase. But there is already no intelligible information.

Technical condition 2C19, which came to the unit in 1993, was excellent; Most of the breakdowns and malfunctions are due to insufficient preparation of calculations.

        Then I will repeat what I said not so long ago. After the economy destroyed in the 90s, as well as with our present capabilities, the amount for rearmament was allocated almost limit. Much needs to be restored, and in some areas the calculation is aimed at promising weapons, which will be relevant for a long time and will exceed the total mass of standard weapons, such as the T-50 and Armata. I don’t think that we know about all the developments and the stage of their readiness, and therefore, I would not criticize the calculation of the Ministry of Defense in terms of quantity since we do not have enough information to fully analyze the situation and prospects.

            Regarding the BMP, a promising machine, which, as far as I know, is planned to replace the BMP - Kurganets-25. You can read about it here - http://topwar.ru/29165-kurganmashzavod-uzhe-etoy-osenyu-vypustit-novuyu-boevuyu-
            mashinu-pehoty-kurganec-25.html

            Regarding the fact that our infantry is riding a BMP-1, you forgot to mention that in addition to the BMP-1 in service, in 2012, there were 720 BMP-3s, as well as 5000 BMP-2s, of which up to 2000 thousand. in storage. This is a land military. Another about 150 BMP-2 from the Marines and some in the explosives.

            As for BMP-1, there were 2012 of them in 8000, of which 7000 were in storage. Hence the conclusion that, despite the presence of BMP-1 in the ranks, the basis of the active fleet of such vehicles is BMP-2, and the number of BMP-3s that are in operation does not reach the number of BMP-1s in the same state.

                Kurganets - promising BMP. As I said, emphasis, in my opinion, needs to be done on promising technology. The same BMP-3 - technology of the late XX century. The Russian army, given the fact that in terms of military technology we are at the forefront, should be equipped with the best that the genius of our design idea can offer. Many say that you need BMP-3, T-90 and more. Of course it is necessary, but it will become obsolete much earlier than what we can get in 3-4 years. Why, in 3-4 years, put your army in a known worse situation, if the most advanced equipment is already on the way and is in the metal. Given the approach to the Rogozin case, the cars will arrive, with a high degree of probability, at the appointed time. If you spend money now on the same BMP-3, then for Kurganets, for example, there will be no money left, and then after a couple of years, you will say that he is Kurganets, and our infantry is using the backward BMP-3 technology.

                As for the ML-20, this is a gun, which, against the background of the same self-propelled guns, is as simple as a stool and can be transported by trailer to the same Urals. The same art installations, which are simple and mobile, are present not only with us. If it is able to fulfill the goals for which it is intended, effectively, then why should it be written off? Only in order to replace with a similar unit, but with a more pathos look? Army is not a fashion show. This is where practicality and fault tolerance are important. The ML-20 battery, which is capable of breaking through armor up to 30 mm with fragments, is quite capable of cooling the enemy’s ardor, and its portability, simplicity and reliability give it the right to serve properly in the 21st century. Cheap and cheerful, in many ways.

                Sorry if it's rude, but is it worth it to look at the situation from a neutral position?

    I read the comments of "experts". Thanks for the fun. The most interesting thing is that those who are simply interested in the problem of automatic loading of this weapon ask the correct question: "why is this fighter puffing up and loading manually when a machine gun is provided?" And the casket just opened - the crew was not prepared. Officers do anything but their own business. For automatic loading, you need to distribute the shells and charges in the ammunition rack and enter these data into the on-board computer. This is not something they do in this unit, but just like a hundred years ago they charge from the ground with modern technology ...
    On practice shooting, when one shot is fired in half an hour, this can still work, but in other conditions, when it is necessary to maintain a given rate of fire, any "pumped up" loader on the second dozen shells is blown away ... Draw conclusions.
    And getting new equipment in the troops is a holiday. With which I congratulate the brothers in arms.

      If the crew, with the non-working coordinator and the absence of shells (for which the gun commander works, bending backward), began sending shells and charges manually with a doselik, then yes, one could speak of unpreparedness.

      And here is a wonderful work in emergency mode. It seems that you do not understand anything in the self-propelled guns that you have on the icon.

      Cool. And how was this done before, for example, during the Great Patriotic War? When during the same artillery preparation attacks not several tens of shells, but several BKs were fired. Moreover, not a follower, but a follower. Manually. Keeping the same sending force

    Something did not inspire and delight me. The dimensions are large, the loading is "semi-automatic", the firing range is not great, the accuracy is cold. General assessment: Outdated "Samovar", WWII times, and up to the 60s.
