Rostec engineers are working on an entire line of remotely detonated ammunition (controlled detonation) for barrel weapons of various calibers. The development will help combat vehicles defend themselves against drones. This was written by the German publication Hartpunkt, citing a statement from the director of Rostec's conventional weapons complex. In the article, journalist Christoph Nagy discusses how this will be implemented.
The German reviewer pointed out that one of Rostec's directions is the development of automated remote ignition of ammunition for machine guns. They are created for the BMPT "Terminator".
It is likely that we are talking about an automated system that uses sensor data to perform a ballistic calculation. As a result, not only the centering of the weapon and the shot itself are programmed, but also the time until the projectile arrives
Christoph Nagy noted that technically there are two ways to program ammunition.
The first involves calculating all ballistic parameters, with the exception of V0 — the initial velocity of the projectile as it leaves the barrel, even before the shot. The ammunition ignites after a certain period of time
The second method of programming the detonation of ammunition occurs when it leaves the barrel, which allows V0 — the initial velocity of the projectile — to be taken into account. This technique is considered more accurate, but requires changes to the weapons system, Nagy explained. In his opinion, Rostec is probably programming the ammunition before the shot is fired.
The publication Hartpunkt indicated that the BTR-82A and BMP-3M will also receive shells with controlled detonation. In addition to 57 mm caliber weapons, Soviet ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns of 23 mm caliber may also receive such shells. According to media reports, they are still used to protect airfields in the regions of Russia.
Earlier, www1.ru wrote that Rostec has completed state tests of shells with controlled detonation and a remote control complex for the time of their detonation for the BMPT "Terminator".
