New article title: Russia's military industry faces challenges: mass production of new self-propelled guns 2S35 is blocked In the field of Russia's military industry, the Ural Transport Machine-Building Corporation has recently been criticized by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu for delaying the mass production of new self-propelled guns 2S35. This self-propelled gun is hailed as a representative of the new generation of Russian equipment, with the ability to fire extended-range shells with a maximum range of up to 70 km. However, the move of the Ural plant to postpone mass production has sparked speculation about whether the 2S35 has serious flaws. This is undoubtedly worrying news for the Russian army, which is inferior in terms of artillery and ammunition. Russia's military strength has always been in the spotlight, however, in recent years, for various reasons, the development of the Russian army in terms of military equipment has not been going well. Especially in the field of artillery and ammunition, there has always been a huge gap in the Russian army.
And 2S35, as a new self-propelled gun, was supposed to fill this gap and improve the combat effectiveness of the Russian army. However, the postponement of mass production by the Ural Transport Machine-Building Company began to cast doubt on the practical viability of 2S35. Since ** has been playing an important role in conveying information, we can't help but wonder: why did the Ural plant postpone the mass production of 2S35? Does this mean that 2S35 exposes serious flaws in a real combat environment? If so, how can the Russian military industry respond to this challenge? First, let's review the features and benefits of 2S35. According to reports, the 2S35 has a completely new chamber design, which allows it to fire extended-range shells with a maximum range of up to 70 km. This gives the 2S35 a clear advantage in striking at long ranges.
In addition, the 2S35 has a modern automatic loader and fire control system, which is capable of firing quickly and accurately. However, despite these advantages, the mass production of the 2S35 has been delayed. The move to postpone work on the mass production of 2S35 is undoubtedly disappointing news for the Russian military industry. In the current international security situation, the military needs to have the most advanced and efficient equipment to deal with various threats. However, the delayed mass production move of the Ural plant poses certain challenges for the Russian army. Why, then, did the Ural plant postpone the mass production of 2S35? There are reports that this may be due to the fact that 2S35 exposed serious flaws in a real combat environment. Specifically, relevant experts noted that there may be problems with the design of 2S35, which led to its inability to meet the needs of the army. This may include the instability of the fire control system, the failure of the loader, etc.
The existence of these problems forced the Ural plant to postpone mass production in order to solve these technical difficulties. For the Russian military industry, how to respond to this challenge is critical. On the one hand, the Ural plant needs to speed up the resolution of the technical problems existing in 2S35 in order to ensure that it can meet the needs of the army. On the other hand, the Russian military industry needs to intensify research and development and promote the development and production of new types of equipment in order to fill the shortcomings of existing equipment. Only in this way will the Russian army be able to remain competitive in modern warfare. It is worth mentioning that the Russian military industry is not without breakthroughs. In recent years, the Russian army has made a series of important achievements in the fields of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and missile defense systems. However, the incident with the delay in the mass production of 2S35 once again reminds us that the development of the military-industrial sphere is still facing great challenges and difficulties.
Russia's military industry must quicken its pace and increase investment in order to ensure that the development and production of equipment can proceed smoothly. In a word, the Russian military industry is facing a new challenge: the mass production of the new self-propelled gun 2S35 is blocked. The move of the Ural plant to postpone mass production has sparked speculation about whether the 2S35 has serious flaws. This is undoubtedly worrying news for the Russian army, which is inferior in terms of artillery and ammunition. The Russian military industry needs to speed up the resolution of the technical problems existing in 2S35 and increase research and development efforts to ensure the equipping of the Russian-Ukrainian arms race: Chinese self-propelled artillery may become a variable In the conflict in Ukraine, the Ukrainian army received assistance from Germany, France and Poland, including a batch of self-propelled guns with a long range. In comparison, the 2S19 self-propelled guns armed with the Russian army have a relatively short firing range of only 70 km.
This gap puts the Russian army at a disadvantage in long-range firepower, because the only thing they can compete with these Western self-propelled guns is the BM-30 "Tornado" multiple rocket launcher, but its ** is limited and difficult to meet real-time needs. In order to compensate for this disadvantage, the Russian army may consider introducing SH-15 truck guns from China. This gun is an export version of the PCL-191 truck gun for China's own use, which has a range comparable to that of Western self-propelled guns, and is **lower. In fact, the Pakistan Army has already introduced 236 SH-15s, making it one of the most powerful self-propelled artillery combat forces in South Asia. However, Russian officials are not considering the introduction of the SH-15, possibly out of face or to preserve their own military industry. However, if the Russian army is unable to reverse the decline in artillery equipment, their actions will be negatively affected.
The Ukrainian army is supported by Germany, France, and Poland, not only because of their support for Ukraine, but also because they want to weaken Russia's military power by helping Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, is using its own military-industrial strength to improve its combat effectiveness. This rivalry has made the competition between Ukraine and Russia in the field of armaments more intense, and it has also brought more uncertainty to the security situation of the two countries. However, the outcome of the arms race between Ukraine and Russia will have an important impact on the security situation in the region as a whole. If the Ukrainian army can continue to receive support from Western countries and constantly improve its combat effectiveness, then they will be able to confront Russia militarily. Conversely, if the Russian army is unable to reverse the decline in artillery equipment, they will be at a disadvantage in long-range firepower, which could negatively affect Russian operations.
Therefore, both Ukraine and Russia need to seriously think about their arms development strategies. Ukraine needs to continue to strengthen its combat power and rely on Western support to improve its long-range firepower. Russia, on the other hand, needs to consider introducing some Chinese foreign trade equipment to make up for its own lack of artillery equipment. Only in this way will it be possible to maintain a relative balance in the arms race and make a positive contribution to regional peace and stability.
