Footage of the modernized Russian 152-mm 2S5 "Hyacinth-S" self-propelled artillery gun has appeared online. The tracked vehicle received additional protection in the form of anti-drone screens covering the roof of the hull and the rear.
The creators of the "mangal" provided for the possibility of free elevation of the gun, and the convenience of the crew's work was ensured by the installation of peculiar "gates" that open during the loading of the gun.
The tracks and road wheels, as well as other elements of the chassis, are covered with armored side skirts, which also help to increase the survivability of the self-propelled guns in various combat conditions.
"Hyacinth-S" is one of the most effective, easy to maintain and operate 152-mm guns. When using rocket-assisted projectiles ZOF30 "Baklan" from a rifled gun 2A37 with a length of 47 calibers, the firing range from "Hyacinth-S" can reach 33.1 km.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Su-30 fighter overshadowed the Superjet SJ-100 in the test flight video, relying on a reactive one.
