An unknown SAU appeared in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: it may be a new version

The footage presents the combat work of the modified SAU in one of the areas of the Ukrainian Front, within the framework of the counter -backer. In the comments, the Russian artilleryman claims that the self -propelled fire is guided by high -rangard shells, which is allegedly capable of striking targets at a distance of 50 100 meters. However, such characteristics are doubtful.

The fact is that the video shows the ammunition of the Kransopol family, the maximum range of damage, according to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, is 26 km. And the Krasnopol-D version with satellite guidance can strike up to 43 km. Commenting on the video "Militar" observers noted that the new installation was created on the basis of the armored chassis of Basa-6010-027 (8 × 8), modification of the truck-6910 truck. The same chassis is used in 2C43 "Malva".

The layout of the new SAU is similar to "Malvi", but the main difference is the artillery part. Instead of 152 mm howitzer 2A64, installed on Malwa and other systems, the new SAU received a gun from the farm 2A36 "Hyacinth-B". This made it possible to increase the maximum range of firing of fragmentation and foot shells from 24. 7 km to 30. 5 km, as well as to increase the range of fire with jet shells from 29 km to 33. 1 km.

However, this solution is related to technical difficulties, since the shells to the gun 2A36 are incompatible with the ammunition of other 152 mm systems. These guns require a separate line of shells and charges, which complicates logistics. Self -proof protection is a regular reservation, supplemented with antitussive screens with tissue with a radio electronic fight system (HRB). Andriy Tarasenko expert in the field of armored vehicles.

He noted that the new SAU probably uses not the modernized gun 2A36, but the tools "Hyacinth-B", removed from storage. This is confirmed: the expert added that new guns 2A36 in Russia have not been produced since 2018 because of the bankruptcy of the enterprise "Motovikhini factories". Despite the redemption of factories' assets, Remdizel in 2023, mass production was not restored. "Only the cannibalization of the old 2A36 in the" new "self-propelled installation remains," Tarasenko emphasized.
