In the USSR, mobile medium-range systems began to be created back in the 60s. Initially, they were designed on tracked chassis, for example, a launcher for the RT-15 missile on the platform of a heavy T-10 tank was demonstrated on Red Square.
Engine power - 750 hp, weight - 59.9-62.5 tons, range - 200-400 km, maximum speed on the highway - 40 km/h, crew - 3 people.
The maximum firing range of the RT-15 is 2500 km, the weight of the warhead is over 530 kg. The complex was in trial operation from 1970, but was never put into service.
In the 70s, tracked chassis were replaced by wheeled ones. In particular, the "Pioneer" system was made on the basis of MAZ-547A (12x12), and the basis for the "Skorost" MAZ-7908 (8×8) that appeared in the early 80s.
It is not known exactly which model of car was used in the creation of the latest Oreshnik ballistic hypersonic missile, but it is obvious that it used all the latest developments to ensure reliability and high mobility, as well as other characteristics inherent in modern types of equipment.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the latest self-propelled gun "Malva" has been taught to hit several targets simultaneously in a fire raid.
