A-222m "Beach" is an advanced version of the Soviet A-222 "Berehore", 130 mm of self-propelled coastal artillery gun in the 1980s. Initially, she thought as an artillery system of rapid response to defeat the rapidly approaching marine threats and had to protect the coastline of the Russian Federation. The old A-222 "shore" system, built on the MAZ-543 8x8 chassis, had 130mm automatic gun and a computerized fire control system capable of affecting targets up to 22 kilometers.
She had an optical target who revealed, tracked and affected marine threats. The battery usually consisted of one commander's machine, 6 artillery machines and security units that worked together, creating an integrated mobile defense zone against surface ships and landing ships. The upgraded A-222m "shore" has the following changes-here they replaced the old 130mm gun with a 152mm gun, which was installed on the modernized MAZ-543m chassis.
This change increases its maximum effective range to 50 kilometers. She also uses the controlled artillery shells "Krasnopil", which are given by laser targets or UAVs, A-222M unfolds for 5 minutes. This last delivery of the Pacific Fleet, and the introduction of the A-222m "shore" demonstrates Russia's desire to strengthen its possibilities of conducting the asymmetric marine war.
