It is reported that the robotic platform will allegedly control from a distance of 500 meters. However, the issue of SAU survival remains open at 12 km/h. The Russian Army-2024 Army Exhibition, which is scheduled for August 12, is now of great interest due to the announcements of new samples of military equipment. One of the most anticipated exhibits was the unmanned self-propelled artillery installation on a tracked course, presented as 122mm howitzer D-30 on a robotic MTS-15 chassis.

The new Defense Express observers were told about the new development of Russian weapons. Experts say that the name of the artillery system is currently unknown, as well as who exactly created this sample. However, a brief description of the weapon appeared. It is known that this SAU is managed remotely at a distance of 500 meters. The system is equipped with a car charging on four shots, which enables it to perform firing tasks quickly and hide for reloading.

This approach minimizes the risk for calculations that may be in a safe place at a relatively short distance. The range of howitzers D-30 reaches 15. 3 km, which makes it an effective means of losing targets at a considerable distance. These opportunities, analysts consider, are especially important in the conditions of modern counter -battery struggle and active use of drones.

The Klever MTS-15 chassis has a load capacity up to 15 tons, a maximum speed up to 12 km/h and a stroke up to 120 km, which provides high mobility of installation. Meanwhile, the issue of SAU survival remains open at declared speeds. In other words, whether the speed of movement of the robotic platform is enough in order to leave the fire position in time and not be detected by means of detection. "Also unknown and the degree of readiness of the product.
