In modern warfare, artillery plays a vital role as an important fire support equipment, but with the continuous progress of science and technology and the change of war forms, traditional artillery equipment is facing many challenges.
However, in order to meet the needs of modern warfare, the Russian army launched a modern artillery equipment - the 2S43 "Mallow" truck gun, and began to enter service.
In particular, with the continuous progress of science and technology, the form of war is also constantly changing, and modern warfare attaches great importance to rapid mobility and precision strikes, which means that higher requirements will be put forward for artillery equipment, but from a practical point of view, traditional artillery equipment often has some limitations and cannot meet the needs of modern warfare.
In order to adapt to this change, the Russian army is actively promoting the process of artillery modernization, among which the entry into service of the 2S43 "Mallow" truck gun has become an important milestone.
For the Russian 2S43 "Mallow" truck gun, in fact, it is a modern artillery equipment with unique characteristics and excellent performance, it uses an 8 8 wheeled chassis and is equipped with a 152mm caliber 2A64 howitzer, which has the following characteristics and performance:
Strong maneuverability: 2S43 type "Mallow " adopts truck chassis design, with excellent maneuverability, its engine power reaches 450 horsepower, the maximum speed on the road can reach 80 kilometers per hour, the maximum range can reach 1000 kilometers, compared with the traditional crawler chassis, the truck chassis makes the 2S43 type "Mallow" can be flexible and maneuverable in various terrain conditions, quickly mobilize firepower, and quickly occupy favorable terrain.
Powerful firepower: The 2A43 howitzer carried by the Type 2S64 "Mallow" has a caliber of 152mm, which is the same as the 2S19 "Msta-S" self-propelled howitzer in service with the Russian army. This artillery has great firepower and range, and is capable of carrying out precision strikes and suppression of enemy targets. With a reserve of 30 rounds, it is capable of meeting the needs of long-term combat.
Modern design: The 2S43 "Mallow" adopts a modern design concept, focusing on improving combat effectiveness and reducing costs. The adoption of a truck chassis not only increases mobility, but also reduces the cost of production and use, which is of great significance for the army, allowing to make better use of limited resources and increase the quantity and quality of equipment.
Versatility: The 2S43 "Mallow" has a variety of combat functions, which can be used in a variety of battlefield environments such as direct fire support, anti-tank operations, urban battles, etc., and its flexibility and firepower make it a multi-purpose artillery equipment that can adapt to different combat needs.
High degree of automation: The 2S43 "Mallow" truck gun uses a highly automated system, which is capable of rapid gun operation and firing. This automated system greatly increases the rate and accuracy of artillery fire, reduces the workload of the crew, and increases combat efficiency.
All-weather combat capability: The 2S43 "Mallow" has all-weather combat capability, and can operate and shoot in adverse weather conditions, because it is equipped with a more advanced fire control system and navigation system, so it can aim at the target and strike in a more complex environment.
After understanding these contents, we can also feel the power of the 2S43 "Mallow". But the question before the return: even if the truck cannon is so powerful!But why do some experts say that the modern design of the truck gun directly reflects Russia's urgent need for artillery modernization?What the hell is going on?
The first point: in modern warfare, mobility is a vital factor, able to quickly mobilize firepower, quickly occupy favorable terrain, and effectively strike at the enemy, while the traditional tracked chassis has certain limitations in mobility and cannot adapt to the needs of rapid mobility, so the design of the truck chassis can make it flexible and mobile in various terrain conditions, and improve combat effectiveness.
The second point: the traditional artillery equipment usually uses a tracked chassis, which is not only expensive, but also has a high maintenance and maintenance cost, while the design of a truck chassis can not only reduce production costs, but also reduce the cost of later maintenance and maintenance.
This is undoubtedly an important consideration for the military, and by reducing costs, the army can make better use of limited resources, improve the quantity and quality of equipment, and enhance combat capability.
The third point: In modern warfare, artillery, as an important fire support equipment, plays a vital role in the control and suppression of the battlefield.
However, the traditional artillery equipment in the face of modern warfare, often appear powerless, so the Russian army urgently needs a modern artillery equipment to meet the needs of the war, 2S43 "Mallow" service, to fill the gap in the Russian army's modern artillery equipment, improve the combat capability of the army.
But no matter what!The modernization feat of the Russian 2S43 "Mallow " truck gun does provide an example for other countries to learn from, and also points out the direction for the development of artillery equipment in modern warfare
Once the war breaks out, who will be able to play a greater role in China's major provinces?
China withdrew 30 billion yuan to build the island, and found a precious treasure that made the West blush.
The United States and Russia are willing to bow down?China may have already formed the world's first high-tech missile strike force.
