57
Artillery units stationed in the Primorsky Territory received self-propelled Tulip mortars, reports MIC with reference to the district press service.




“The artillerymen of the SBR received more than ten 240-mm self-propelled mortars 2C4 Tulip,” the release reads.

"The self-propelled mortar 2C4 is the only mortar in the world of this caliber and has no analogues," the report says.

"The mortar is designed to destroy durable field structures, buildings adapted by the enemy for shelter, manpower and equipment," - said in the district.

          To the one who prompts this, shake it off your shoulder. laughing Look and find - there, from Soviet times, there was a laser firing range guided by a laser beam along the laser beam. A fly can be caught in the eye ... although with such a caliber and gj a fly .... wassat... I powerfully pushed it! wassat But in Afghanistan they put it in heaps.

            And so add one more step, then the mine with this accelerator will almost rise into the near space, and then adjust it like Caliber :: at least on the map in memory, at least in coordinates ...

        Greetings Alexander hi
        Well, why is it uncomfortable laughing “Babakhalka” very cool learned about her and fell in love with her as a young woman, when I read the good and funny book “Weapons of Retribution” about the life of mortar men. It is very good that such systems are delivered to the troops because they can still say their very significant word. The conflict in the Donbass has shown this. With the modernization of the SLA of this machine, it really has no equal.
        By the way, the above-mentioned book describes a very interesting conversation, a veteran who arrived at the unit asked a commander of one of the "Tulips" a question
        -Son, and if the tank goes to you, how you will hit it with a mortar ...
        -Ha ha Bat, yes no problem! We will fill up the mortar on its side and hit the tank with direct fire! wink
        Grandfather was satisfied with the answer ...

        P.S. And also "Tulip" can shoot nuclear weapons ...

          It is unlikely that anyone remembered, but last year there was similar (transfer to the Chinese border) information on "Peonies" - 203 mm with the possibility of using nuclear weapons ("Peonies" is also not a new development, also from stocks). And I see this as a definite system - since conventional forces on the eastern border are clearly insufficient, high-tech forces are deployed to weaken the west and south, and there are no surpluses, such systems are being deployed for the potential to contain a massive invasion of a neighbor by tactical nuclear weapons, strategic to provoke a similar answer . Getting ready for a tactical nuclear war (just in case)

          It doesn’t mean anything. The last Tulip came off the assembly line in 1988.

          In our park on HH there are Grads of the 70s, they look like a needle, the fly did not sit. This in turn does not mean their further production.

        the tracks are clearly not new, and the emnip mortars themselves have not been released for a long time.
        so most likely with BHVT.
        I hope that at least new sighting equipment was installed for theoretically possible new mines. although I think that if it were so, they would write about it in an article.

        Serial production of the 2S4 self-propelled mortar was deployed in 1972 at the Ural Transport Engineering Plant. As of 1972, the cost of one self-propelled artillery 2S4 was 210 thousand rubles. The 2B8 mortar was manufactured by the Lenin Perm Plant. 2C4 production continued until 1988, in just 17 years of production, 588 2B8 mortars were produced [1].

        There is no point in allocating considerable funds for the production of complexes of the 70s, and even investing time and energy in the search for options for the technical modernization of the old platform.

        It is more advisable today to invest in the development of shells for various purposes with an active seeker. By the fact that tomorrow is their future.

        And those 580 tulips that have already been created are quite enough for the defense of our state in cooperation with other types of weapons.

            Well this is my subjective opinion. I'm just a supporter of precision missiles. Mortar weapons, as a purely ballistic free-falling type of weapon, have a vulnerability factor in their striking factor today, before such systems as the Israeli Dome. P.E. as I said, the future for high-precision weapons.

              Guided munitions have been in service with these systems since the 80s. And they showed themselves very effectively. But they are induced by laser illumination, and therefore it would be very useful to supplement them with guided mines with satellite guidance, and equip the machines themselves with satellite navigation systems. The Tulip artillery system is made unique by its unmatched power of ammunition (240mm caliber) and the ability to throw it over mountains, buildings and other obstacles and into trenches (mortar after all). So you can not replace it with anything. Of the shortcomings - a short range. It could have been increased by simply lengthening the gun’s barrel by analogy with how it was done on the Vienna mortar self-propelled gun, the ancestor of which is the shorter-range landing Nona.

      Very effective in infantry and light armored vehicles.
      When installing the fuse for fragmentation, the radius (!) Of the expansion of the fragments is 400 meters.
      I was at ostentatious shooting.
      I saw breaks from a distance of 1700 meters. It's something !!!
      If the splinter does not fall, shell shock is guaranteed.
      From 1700 meters I felt a shock wave in my body. The sound is like a peal of thunder. Before the sound of a burst, a shriek of fragments is heard.
      With 12x binoculars you can see a mine on the entire flight path.

      What is removed from storage, I will try to assume that something was developed for them ...
      Large caliber, long barrel, high mobility. The IL-76 will transport 3 pieces at a time where necessary. Now you can shove "Cho Hosh" into such a barrel ... fellow

    Know the adversaries, only with us. So that "you" has one lab, lab. Everything will come in handy on the farm. If a traveling host. Think of those who have something to think about.

    Damn, I do not understand such an active joy of some about the delivery of the Tulip to the Eastern District. I studied it back in the 70s. It is intended for artillery reserve VK. Well big, well, caliber 240 mm. But the fact that in a firing position and vice versa, this laziness is brought to a damn cloud of time and the rate of fire of only 1 rpm does not mean anything? Serves shooting as many as 10 people - is this normal? Mines weight 130 kg.
    Firing range of up to 20 km and then active-reactive. And just a simple mine at 9650 m.
    By the way, when shooting such a mine, it is very clearly visible in flight from the place of the shot. Can shoot nuclear weapons? Yes it can, but imagine for a moment that the position of the self-propelled guns is located at least 5 km from the front line and floundered nuclear weapons. From the front to the epicenter will be only 10-15 km. subject to an active-reactive mine, while a simple one is even closer. And you are all at the very forefront. And what do you think, can the infantry come there?
    And yes, it looks like a very formidable machine. Therefore, it is not clear why and against whom it will be involved there. In addition to the Chinese, I do not seem to be observing another enemy, but they are not opponents to us. Or are we getting ready?

      Do not come. And drive through the zone under the armor of the BMP and the armored personnel carrier with the FVU turned on an hour or two after the explosion. Do not forget that a “military atom” produces much shorter-lived pollution than a “peaceful one”.
      The UBCs for these mortars were made under a completely different war - with the concept of "let’s throw one NBC each at the battalion defense point, and then the motor-mech troops will quickly slip through the infection zone".

      We do not want war, but we are ready to fight back. (C)

      And for the BBO "tulip" - that’s it. There, "genocides" with "shilka" still serve. After all, in those parts on the other side of the ribbon their contemporaries still fly and ride. smile

      Unfortunately you were taught shitty, or rather you studied shitty, since you don’t know and don’t understand the place and purpose of such weapons in battle. hi

    The General Staff knows better why they put these mortars in the military. Do not forget that our armed forces, with their not very large numbers, must ensure the repulsion of aggression on our vast territory from any direction. Therefore, let the Far East work out. But WHEN it is necessary, can be transferred WHERE it is necessary. That is why the principle of our aircraft today and are built. Therefore, everything is correct.

    Looking at this machine you understand how our grandfathers suffered in the war. The main thing is that there is no war, they always repeated. In my opinion, “Tulip” conforms to this doctrine - there will never be a war with such formidable weapons.

    - What do you want?! - prayed Oleg. - Annexation and indemnity? Remember, you can’t take the city. We will fight for every home.

    “Why do I need your city?” I just ruin it to my mother’s edren and leave for myself. You can then fight at least for every broken brick.

    Oleg squinted at the mortar.

    - What is it? - he asked.

    “Two es four.”
    The caliber is two hundred and forty millimeters. The fugasca weighs one hundred and eighty kilos. And by the way, the active-reactive range
    shell twenty kilometers. I’ll select an open place, stand on a hillock and start throwing until I go deaf. I’ll clean my ears and throw again.
    Enough ammunition, I have a truck in the forest. And you can’t even come close to me. Even on his filthy “Betaer”. You know
    what happens to a “baiter” when a land mine explodes about ten meters away? He flies head over heels. I do not advise you to be inside.

    Such a mortar is in addition to the MSTA-B in Syria.

    Most likely, the shelf life of ammunition is coming to an end.
    So we are waiting for large-scale exercises using Tulips.
    Take a look at how old jets conduct Marines at Pacific Fleet.
    So I don’t see anything particularly joyful here.
