Russian military personnel have repeatedly demonstrated miracles of engineering and technical ingenuity, but the latest alteration of military equipment has stumped even experienced people. Meet the MT-LB "motolyga" with a turret from the 120-mm artillery gun 2S9 "Nona-S".
In the footage that has appeared on the Web, it can be seen that the "motolyga" has retained the qualities of the main army tractor, but now has also increased in combat power. The body of the car itself, according to tradition, was covered with a "barbecue" and thick rubber sheets.
It should be noted that the 120-mm rifled semi-automatic gun 2A51 is capable of firing a wide range of ammunition, including HEAT, high-explosive fragmentation and active-rocket projectiles, and even all types of 120-mm mortar mines.
The maximum firing range of a high-explosive fragmentation mine is up to 7.1 km, and an active-rocket projectile is even greater. The minimum firing range of mortar mines allows you to hit targets even in the mountains and on the reverse slopes of heights.
