The new generation of upgraded self-propelled artillery mounts (SPGs) "Msta-S" under the index 2S19M2 "Msta-SM2" will significantly increase the potential of Russian artillery units in counter-battery combat. This was reported by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
The modernized version of the howitzer is equipped with an automated fire control system (ASUNO) "Uspekh-S", which allows firing at targets around the clock and in any weather conditions.
Target distribution is carried out using the machine of the senior officer of the self-propelled artillery battery "Planshet-A". The self-propelled gun crew can receive target coordinates from any modern reconnaissance drones, including "Orlan-10", ZALA 421-16E, "Forpost-Ru" or "Inokhodets-Ru".
The 2A64 gun has the same ballistic qualities, providing a firing range of Krasnopol guided projectiles of no more than 20 km. Nevertheless, the gun received an increased rate of fire of up to 10 rounds per minute and the implementation of the "fire raid" mode.
The howitzer is equipped with a programmable loading system. Speed — up to 60 km/h, range — more than 600 km. Modernized self-propelled guns can fire high-explosive fragmentation and active-rocket jamming projectiles.
Earlier www1.ru reported that footage of a BTR-82 with an "irokeza" appeared on the Web. This is how the military solved the problems with drones.
