The paratroopers will get a self-propelled "Zauralets" in 2019.

It is expected that the Zauralets self-propelled gun, as well as the Zavet-D artillery control vehicle, will appear in the Airborne Forces in 2019 g, RIA News Post artillery chief of the Airborne Forces Alexei Kostritsa.

2C25 Sprut-SD

“I can say for sure that it will take more than a year to complete state tests of the Zauralets” self-propelled artillery gun. It was decided that the created combat module will be on the new base chassis, unified with BMD-4M, for this it will take another two or three years. By 2019, the artillery units of the Airborne Forces will have such a weapon in service ”,

Kostritsa said at the Innovation Day of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

According to him, the Kornet anti-tank missile system is also being developed for the Airborne Forces; moreover, it is in the experimental design development of the Zavet-D artillery control machine, which should appear in the troops in the same 2019.

Among other things, "in the interests of the assault forces, the modernization of the 120-mm Nona self-propelled artillery, the reconnaissance and artillery fire control station Rheostat, the 125-mm Sprut self-propelled anti-tank gun continues," Kostritsa said.

The modernization of the Sprut will end in 2016, he added.

The chief of artillery noted that “the main requirements of the Airborne Forces to the new and modernized arms, besides its unification on the base chassis, are air transport and the ability to parachute parachute method ".

Airborne will receive a new self-propelled gun "Zauralets-D" in 2016
Semizorov said that in 2016 it is planned to put a small batch in the troops

[Kostyar]

Serious caliber, worthy change!

[Eugene-Eugene]

Serious caliber, worthy change!

"The new installation will combine the capabilities of a mortar, howitzer and cannon. Such a combination of capabilities has already been used in the artillery systems" Nona "and" Vienna "" [http://lenta.ru/news/2012/10/16/zauralec/ ].

"Zauralets" is being created to update the fleet of self-propelled art of the Airborne Forces ("Sprut-SD" has completely different tasks). Now ACS of the Airborne Forces are represented by "Nonami-S": 790 machines in the Airborne Forces + 75 from the Marines (produced in 1979-89). While a replacement is being developed, the Nona are being upgraded (since 2006) during a major overhaul to the 2S9-1M Nona-SM level, which, among other things, have increased their ammunition to 40 (instead of 25 in the basic version, while landing the same - 25), the speed of preparation for unscheduled fire has been increased by 10 times.

It's interesting - are we the only ones in the world to parachute such a technique, or are there still such maniacs? After World War II, did anyone in the field of hostilities massively "throw out" military equipment on parachutes? It is clear that this is coolly impossible, but in the conditions of real modern combat is it possible at all?

Successfully alone. 3,14ndos try, but so far they can only guarantee the complete secrecy of the flight of the machine.
Ours have both allies and opponents that the PDS is limping on both legs.

This is only possible with:
- the condition of the complete suppression of enemy air defense and the dominance of our aircraft in the air;
- the active actions of our ground forces advancing in the direction of the landing areas and the complete loss of initiative from the enemy. (During the offensive)
Or, as an option, actions to cover the territory (directions) in advance before the outbreak of hostilities, when this territory is not yet occupied by the enemy. (During the defense)
There are no other conditions, in my personal opinion.

[alecsis69]

There is another option - after a series of tactical nuclear strikes, until the air defense system is restored. To do this, the crew inside the car is landing. They landed and immediately tear the claws from the infection zone. Airborne forces were created in the event of a global war, and the danger has not yet been exhausted.

good machine, non need to be sent to rest, the old woman deserved

[Vitaly Anisimov]

Landing will be glad ..!
In battle you need to check ..

and "nonu" to write off the bottom .. in the City it was not better .. especially the mine code in series .. oo-oo-x

[Arkan]

It is good that Nyura is being modernized by "Nona" and "Rheostat", since there is a modernization potential and they will still serve in the Airborne Forces.

[abc_02]

Of course there is potential, given that everything is on analogue. in a rheostat, work with PUO-9, so this is work on a pulman after the fact.

[Taygerus]

happy in one word

[Bronik]

"Nones" showed themselves well in Slavyansk, on the mowing of dill.

[kartalovkolya]

But the main thing is that the tests take place not only at the test site, but also on the "skins" of the adversaries! And already based on the results of the application to draw conclusions, and "Nona" to send "to rest" seems to be too early! Moreover, there are a lot of people in Syria who want to try our new bells and whistles on their own "skin", so what's the matter, go ahead and directly on ISIS !!!

[chunga-changa]

It’s good that the paratroopers are promoting new systems for themselves, the only requirement for a mandatory parachute landing seems controversial. All the same, nothing is heard about the landing air defense systems, which means that the question will arise about their delivery, therefore, in any case, there will be a need to capture the airfield.

[roskot]

“In the interests of the airborne troops, the modernization of the 120-mm Nona self-propelled artillery gun, the Reostat artillery reconnaissance and fire control point, and the Sprut 125-mm self-propelled anti-tank gun continues,” Kostritsa said.

There is potential for modernization. Nona will also serve for the landing troops.

[Archon]

I do not like the name of this technique. Zaurales sounds like the name of a dinosaur
