During the exercise, artillery men of the Southern Military District learn to use the latest artillery weapons.

In the Krasnodar Territory at the Molkino testing ground, for the first time, the artillerymen of the Southern Military District (SKR) used modernized 152-mm self-propelled howitzers Msta-S, which entered service with the district troops in May 2013, during a large-scale tactical exercise.

In order to inflict a massive fire attack on the forces of a conditional enemy, more than 35 upgraded self-propelled howitzers were involved.

The upgraded artillery system "Msta-S" has significant structural differences from the previous modification. It has a new automated fire control system, increased target rate of fire, as well as the possibility of using digital electronic maps, which significantly speeds up the orientation of the terrain in difficult physiographic conditions and allows you to perform fire missions more quickly and more efficiently.

In the exercises of artillery units of the 49 th army army of the Southern Military District, new rocket launcher systems Tornado-G are also involved, which are more than their predecessor in combat effectiveness in the 2,5-3 - the BM-21 "Grad" system. 1,5 is less than the time required to bring the system on alert and inflict fire damage, and the radius of destruction of one Tornado-G machine is about 1 ha.

In addition, in the training battle, the artillerymen of the Southern Military District use 152-mm self-propelled howitzers “Akatsiya”, 122-mm “Gvozdika” and 82-mm mortars.

In addition to the use of powerful modern weapons, artillerymen work out tactical methods of misleading a conventional enemy. Subtly moving to a given area, units actively use, in order to disguise, the features of the terrain landscape, as well as means of imitating false objects. At a distance of about 10 km, gunners from the flanks inflicted massive fire damage at times to the superior forces of the conventional enemy.

During the exercise, military personnel will perform more than 30 fire missions and 15 standards, including the change of firing positions.

About 2 thousand troops and more 300 units of artillery weapons, military and special equipment were involved in the large-scale tactical training of artillery units. The exercise will last until the end of September.

[Lech from ZATULINKI]

Well, such gun mounts are good against large clusters of infantry, the technology here does not even smell close to the fight against terrorism.
Large military units of the enemy, we all know where they are.

[Evgeny_Lev]

"fit" not "fit".
And here terrorism, not a word is said about it.
And even if it is said, why did you get the idea that modernized art mortar systems and rocket fire systems are not suitable for destroying beards?

[Lech from ZATULINKI]

To beat a gang of two three people from such weapons is not serious.
In general, it has now become fashionable to talk about the fight against terrorism, hehe heh, especially on TV, you laugh with laughter when our large leaders pompously talk about it.

Not seriously with old fire control systems and shells, if the modernization is deep, then weapons against bearded men are very effective. It’s a pity the article is just a comment from the press service!

[clidon]

And in 10-15 people?

[Sirozha]

It’s very serious, convenient and you need to do this. Definitely this is better than chasing groups of fighters to capture, who have to run through the mountains in full gear and as a result, as in most cases, does not find anyone!

Thank you for the video. You are a moderator, but why aren’t you connecting to the x news?

[lucidlook]

My five kopecks - comparison of "Msta-S" with similar guns in some countries

[alex popov]

It seems to me that memory is failing. It seemed to me that the automatic loading system on the MSTA-S ... Although, 17 years have passed, I could be wrong ...

[Basilevs]

Not an automaton. In automatic mode - only the sending of a projectile. The charge is completed and laid on the sleeve tray manually.

[sellrub]

Any ..... Any artillery mount. Any caliber is COMPLETE and justifiable can be used even for the enemy in areas of concentration, even for single targets. It all depends on the situation and the importance of the tasks.
This artillery installation has in its ammunition guided high-precision ammunition with an accuracy of 1-2 meters in range and direction. At the same time, the installation itself can be placed at the firing position during multi-kilometer removal.

[medbrat68]

Namely, that is not against retaliatory shell attacks. Such a facade is easy to pierce. Who generally accepted this for production ... Inside the kamikaze they will sit. And the generals invested money for bending the facade in their villas. Stsuki over. Put them in the tower and break it. Feeders.

[Basilevs]

What are projectile strikes? What do you like about the facade? The task of self-propelled guns in general is to fire from closed firing positions. Direct fire is mandatory, but not the main "option". Reservation - bulletproof and splinterproof. The tower in this case provides the placement of the gun, ammunition and crew. Against

Quote: medbrat68

retaliatory shell strikes

designed TANK armor, so nothing, sorry, tryndet about kamikaze.

[klimpopov]

Do you use "tanks"? Basilevs is right.
I will add that now self-propelled artillery in general is in direct connection and does not participate with tanks, namely from closed positions!
And yes, if you are a Westerner, then look at the corresponding art systems of sworn friends ...

[medbrat68]

I answered - where do the words go?

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Serious self-propelled guns .. Tagged you gunners !!

Where is the author who recently wrote an article about stagnation in artillery? With a photo of the 45 year gun? Let him read, rejoice with us.

And where did you see in the list what in this article is called "the latest artillery weapons"? All this technique has already celebrated "round" anniversaries. The modernization carried out does not mean that it suddenly became "newest". All these "M", "S", "G" added to the names do not make the old technique "modern", but only improve its characteristics.
It's just that sometimes the articles will be called so "loudly", but in the end it turns out that, in fact, there are planned classes on standard equipment. This is certainly a very happy event for all of us, after the paycheck, but the content does not correspond to the stated theme.

[a52333]

With a bowed head and without protest I catch a minus.

[Basilevs]

The M-109 was also not made yesterday (it was put into service in 1973), and is also being modified, and no one complains about this. Even at this stage, 2C19 has greater prospects for improvement. With electronics, I hope, we will figure it out over time.

[sellrub]

Kind! This artillery mount was developed in the 70s of the last century. OLD! Russian artillery in a very indecent form.
I’m an artilleryman with a length of service of 34 calendar years, I tell you responsibly: in Russia there are GOOD ideas, but the state has junk.
Of particular concern are the commander’s fire control vehicles (KMUO). KMUO - heart and Soul of artillery fire - .... sorry -.
И MSTA without sensible CMUO - no more than a piece of iron.

Russian artillery in a very indecent form.

Here I am about the same. It's just that the people have no information on modern foreign artillery systems and MLRS. So it seems that we are always better.

[zzaharr]

At the current Russia Arms EXPO exhibition, Radiozavod OJSC (Penza) will exhibit its products. In particular, the enterprise will present a unified command and observation artillery machine. At the plant’s stand it will be possible to see the layout and description of the machine, which can also be used as a command-and-staff vehicle to provide automated control of artillery units and reconnaissance artillery units during preparation and during military operations.

[zanoza]

... KMUO - the heart and Soul of artillery fire ...
Colleague, you forgot to mention about "eyes and ears" artillery. Without them, there will be no main mass of targets and there will be nothing to do on the KMUO. In this area (artillery reconnaissance means), there is also stagnation. The speed of targeting, processing and transmission of target data is such a "brake" .... And the range of artillery reconnaissance capabilities is still limited. UAVs in artillery ... ay!

[Basilevs]

I agree to all 100. In this very SFD in the city of N, they received new self-propelled guns, and there is still no new complex. 70% efficiency - down. The range of capabilities of the ASUNO is reduced to a number of possibilities for manual entry. And since you have to press the buttons, you still need to learn, then they still twist the sight in the old manner manually. Madhouse !!

In the photo - 2s19m2 gunner’s console in guidance mode.

[Genry]

That would be such a Tornado on a bomber or attack aircraft, for closing or organizing breakthroughs. Fast and efficient.

[faint27]

The latest artillery systems can be called only because they began to enter the troops of this district recently. And prettier all these weapons of the end of the last century.

[ed1968]

Most beloved, Msta-S is also not supplied to the troops in its original form, it is constantly being modernized

[rugor]

Electronic maps and guided missiles take artillery to a new level. Even a 120 mm cannon when using a guided projectile requires 1 sighting shot instead of 5-6. The article is excellent.

[Stasstoychev]

and sho for the term - "sighting rate"?

[Cpa]

And what is the term "radius of destruction of 1 ha"?

[Max otto]

Well, I think, it meant "the area of ​​destruction", well now such journalists, to them that the area, that the radius, or that the circle, that the circle - all one. Modern realities, eprst.

[kind]

This term was coined by dolbadon, who has nothing to do with the army.

[tupolev-95]

Right now, Lopatov will come in — he’ll ruin everything for you. In general, there is little reason to be happy about the latest among the presented samples, but at least the exercises are well conducted.

[alone]

Well, at least the shovels are an artilleryman, but apparently they are not friends with the press service.

[Guterjunge]

the article was not about characteristics, but about the fact that there were teachings. And the teachings are very good. Regarding the use against militants ... in the same avgan, two or three people who sat in a good place could hold a battalion, here pinpoint strikes are just right) and our artillery is very good at this, and even though it is "of the last century", Western most of them did not stand nearby ...

[erased]

Symbiosis of outdated and relatively new models. Although Msta is not new for a long time. But it works quite fine. Sorry for them in the troops is not enough. Still full of Acacias. And the fun is just around the corner ...

[kostya_a]

In the second Chechen they used this thing. And the accuracy was fantastic!

[s, m, 51]

With the new minister, thank God, exercises began to be carried out with live firing, it’s already a big plus, and the equipment has always been improved and it’s not necessary to haul it, with skillful management it can solve many problems, over time we will have modern installations even though these machines are excellent ,

[APASUS]

For this wonderful news, I also wanted to get info about the fact that the firing is carried out by new high-precision guided munitions, which have only been adopted for service! Ammunition is also the time to modernize

[mithridate]

well done, that they began to conduct exercises

[ando_bor]

Yes, I was recently near the Molkino training ground,
artillery hammering without ceasing, serious exercises,
good luck to them.

this is when they have machines! and when they have RPGs, etc., and somewhere in the shelter, then with such a grin is also beneficial!

increased aiming rate of fire,

Bullshit. There is no such characteristic.

Modernization of equipment is a common practice in all armies of the world. I agree that fire control is the most important task in artillery. He himself served on the "Nona" weapon is still relevant.

Yes I would like to! But for now, it is obvious that they will defeat the target by shooting at areas from the MLRS. It is necessary to strive to hit targets with several shots, and preferably with one and as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, high-precision ammunition is not mentioned in the article.

[maklaut007]

On the land of Msta with a fire control system, in the sky above the mountains of the UAV with a heat sink. Only this is not feasible. Who then will serve in the organs of Chechnya if they put the entire previous shift in the mountains.
