Those working on the Msta-S self-propelled artillery unit highly appreciate the ease of operation, maneuverability, and power of the chassis of this machine. The technical data of the self-propelled gun even allows it to drift, but this is not allowed, Rostec reported.
Thanks to a large range of about 500 km and a powerful engine, artillerymen can strike at enemy positions and quickly change location. The 42-ton vehicle accelerates to 60 km/h.
This engine will greedily devour both gasoline and kerosene. If you watch it and maintain it intelligently, it will never fail in a combat position. It shows all its symptoms and ailments in advance, via sensors.
The Msta-S can operate in "fire raid" mode and hit a target simultaneously with several shells along different trajectories. The vehicle is capable of using high-precision guided munitions, such as Krasnopol shells. The equipment is inconspicuous in the thermal, radar, and optical ranges.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Kalibr carrier submarine Velikiye Luki armed itself with a large-caliber Utes machine gun. It can be used against drones.
