Russian troops will receive a new artillery mount "Msta-S"

Next year, the Ground Forces should receive a new 152-mm self-propelled artillery unit (ACS) Msta-S with a barrel length of fifty-two calibers.

The new ACS has an increased barrel length, which increases its firing range to forty-one kilometers. And this is a record for the Russian barreled artillery.

Until recently, the range of the high-explosive fragmentation projectile was almost 25 kilometers, and the projectile with a gas generator was 29. American and Western European SAU samples easily hit targets at distances up to 40 kilometers.

In this regard, the head of the Russian General Staff, Army General Nikolai Makarov, said that if the domestic industry does not develop new self-propelled guns, the Ministry of Defense will be purchasing French Caesar howitzers. And the manufacturer did not wait.

The manufacturer of the self-propelled gun Msta-S, OJSC Ural Transport Engineering Plant (Uraltransmash), even mastered new technologies for producing trunks in order to create an elongated version of the barrel, since increasing the length of the part makes it difficult to comply with the specified accuracy.

Today OJSC Uraltransmash is the only Russian enterprise producing self-propelled artillery installations. This technique is widely known both in Russia and abroad.

"Msta-S", 152-mm highly mobile armored self-propelled artillery 2С19, designed to engage openly located and protected targets. Today, the Msta-S SAU is not inferior to the world's best models of this type of weapon, and in some ways surpasses them.

Nikolai Makarov said that if the domestic industry does not develop new self-propelled guns, the Ministry of Defense will purchase French Caesar howitzers. And the manufacturer did not keep itself waiting.

Again Makarov rages on behalf of the Moscow Region, or maybe just quietly, without noise and dust, give those. task and not blame the gunsmiths?

This is already a "button accordion" in nature. Amoeba. One response to all stimuli: "Let's buy abroad!"

When is this shit in the toilet, then sent? I will drink for three days. And squeeze tear to shreds.

Yes, nationwide festivities with drinking moonshine and listening to a gramophone

Or maybe not wait when they fire or merge ?? Maybe it's time to decide for ourselves what to do with them ?? Shooting is not cost-effective .. you need to populate Siberia without the right to leave .. Then put things in order .. and then you can break the bayan and drink the samagon and take a seat.

The whole problem is only that I do not sit in the swamp called MO. Or the State Duma. My swamp and away, and smaller. Therefore here I croak from it.
As one ad used to say, "set realistic goals for yourself."
Do something necessary, I agree. But HOW - here, alas, the caliber of the brain is not the same. I can not say that I sit on the pope exactly, no. But it is so ... flowers.

I, too, as I read: "... abroad", almost fell off the chair with laughter. This is the same they now have such a new feature, so they now conduct a kind of blackmail, well, like an offensive in the military. Looks like this anecdote stuck for a long time.

Msta-s was created quite a long time ago (strike force), a good self-propelled guns, read this Makarov clearly does not know anything about OUR weapons! To this day, it remains not the worst option, I think that if it is slightly modernized in range, then you need to take it into service for a long time!

[b904]

let Makar find an analogue of this miracle abroad. masters know how and do it all sorts of wooden-heads in wide stripes would not interfere with them yet.

Why is import trying to shoot from stauvettes at forty ... yes because they do not have RZSO systems operating at such a range ... and ours, as always, hit the contest who writes higher and longer.

Makarov, of course, is not an angel, but he’s right, if you give a stupid task, the KB will provide something from the AK-200 series, does everyone remember it? But when you pinch the eggs, then there really will be a result, the caliber of the gun immediately increased that?
