From Sea to Land: 2M-3, AK-306 and AK-230 Shipboard Guns Adapted to Destroy Kamikaze Drones

All guns are equipped with thermal sights with the possibility of retrofitting ballistic computers

Russian ground units have received stationary modifications of shipboard anti-aircraft artillery systems (AAA) 2M-3, AK-306 and AK-230. The installations will be useful in destroying drones, said military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

The 2M-3 combat module with a vertically oriented 25-mm automatic artillery installation has a maximum firing range of up to 7500 m with an effective altitude reach of 2800 m. The rate of fire is up to 600 rounds/min with an initial projectile velocity of 900 m/s. The elevation angle of the gun varies from -10 to +85 degrees. The effective range against Lyuty-type kamikaze UAVs can reach about 2000 - 1300 m.

The AK-306 complex based on a 6-barreled 30-mm rotating AO-18L gun has a rate of fire of 1000 rounds/min and a noticeably higher accuracy of fire, which provides an effective range against large UAVs - 2700 - 1500 m.

Altitude reach is 5000 m. The azimuth sector of rotation of the gun is from -12 to +85 degrees. The initial velocity of the projectiles reaches 880 m/s with a barrel length of 54 calibers. The product was also manufactured by Tula Arms Plant.

The AK-230 twin 30-mm gun based on NN-30 guns has the largest elevation angle from -12 to +87 degrees, which minimizes the "dead funnel" in the upper hemisphere to 6 degrees. The reach in height can reach up to 4800 m, and the rate of fire is up to 1050 rounds.

The initial velocity of the projectiles is up to 1050 m/s due to the high ballistics of guns with a length of 64.3 calibers. All guns are equipped with thermal sights with the possibility of retrofitting ballistic computers. For operation in difficult weather conditions, radar guidance stations of the Reпейник type or SBR-5 Fara-1 can also be placed on the anti-aircraft guns.
