The new Russian self-propelled artillery unit (SPG) "Malva" based on the "Voshchina" chassis successfully withstood the fragmentation effect of a 227-mm M31A2 GMLRS guided missile with a range of 84 km and a M30 guided missile with a range of 60 km of the HIMARS system.
There was no fire or detonation of the ammunition. With a probability of 70%, the self-propelled gun will be restored and returned to service in the near future, said military expert Evgeny Damantsev.
Consequently, the armored cabin of the BAZ-6010-027 chassis has once again demonstrated sufficient ballistic protection against light, and at angles of more than 60 degrees, heavy high-speed fragments of high-explosive fragmentation and shrapnel warheads.
2S43 "Malva" — a complex on the chassis of the BAZ-6910-027 "Voshchina" vehicle. It is equipped with a 2A64 152 mm caliber rifled howitzer. The developers abandoned the turret, making the self-propelled gun lighter. It can be transferred to the place of operation by Il-76 military transport aircraft.
Earlier www1.ru reported that an innovative Sova-13 reconnaissance drone with fast frequency switching was developed in Russia.
