Footage of field tests of the modernized 30-mm 2A72 automatic cannon on the BTR-82A with an additional barrel support structure has appeared online. Tests have confirmed that the new solution has increased the accuracy of fire on the move at a stationary target at a distance of 1000 m by 17.3% in single-shot mode and by 20% in bursts of two shells.
The accuracy of fire has also increased. At the same time, the declination angle and the speed of aiming the gun in the angular plane have slightly decreased.
Another advantage of the design is a higher gun shielding coefficient, which reduces the infrared signature, which provides a partial reduction in the detection range of the vehicle by enemy thermal imaging systems.
Main characteristics of the BTR-82A:
- Type — amphibious wheeled armored wheeled, four-axle with all driving wheels
- Weight — no more than 16 tons
- Combat crew — 10 people
- Wheel formula — 8x8
- Maximum ground clearance — 475 mm
- Transmission — mechanical, stepped
