Russia has created a rocket launcher with the properties of concrete-piercing and high-explosive fragmentation ammunition

7

Russia has created a new generation unguided aircraft missile, which combines the properties of two munitions at once - concrete-piercing and high-explosive fragmentation. The development surpasses all existing domestic and foreign analogues in its characteristics, Rostec said.

A new product - an 80-mm rocket - was developed at the Splav NPO named after A. N. Ganichev. The team of the association won in the category “For contribution to the development and production of special-purpose products” of the N. A. Makarovets Prize.



The authors were able to solve a number of complex scientific, technical and practical problems, creating a missile, the use of which can ensure the destruction of both openly located targets and those located in closed fortifications and forests
 
– explained in Rostec.

The corporation believes that with its development, NPO Splav laid the first foundations for the creation of multifunctional aircraft missiles. We are talking about a small-sized rocket engine. It allows you to design new unguided, adjustable and guided aircraft munitions based on it.

    Unguided weapons are a thing of the past. Today, only high-precision weapons provide an advantage in combat. Of course, improving the combat characteristics of the NAR is a useful improvement, but not sufficient. When they demonstrate launches of NARs from containers (helicopters and Su-25s), it is a beautiful sight, and when they show the effectiveness of arrivals, it is a completely ugly sight, because the effectiveness of hits is in units of a percentage, that is, out of a hundred NARs, only 1-2 hit the target. This is the conclusion.

      don't tell.
      To create, say, a continuous field of fragments - it is much cheaper to do this with unguided projectiles.
      They will learn how to create aerosol/smoke screens a lot and cheaply - and again they will have to work across areas.

        Aerosol/smoke screens cannot hang forever, and no one is attacking in regiments now.
        And what is the use of lunar landscapes?
        How much does the logistics cost for delivering thousands of tons of conventional ammunition?!
        If you do the math, maybe high-precision ones are still cheaper?!
        Better one shot, but a sniper, than three horns into nowhere.

        I don’t believe in “unparalleled”. In addition, a fragmentation NAR can still be understood when they are shooting at area targets, but a concrete-piercing one? ? ? After all, everyone knows that jet weapons have much less accuracy than barrel weapons, which do not hit a decent range the first time. But the concrete-breaker must fly accurately.

    Firing with unguided weapons has shown its complete uselessness. Shooting somewhere from a pitched position, no more.
    This weapon was created to strike from a dive at a target that is visually visible.

    High-precision weapons will be many times cheaper than millions of launches into the void

    As soon as I see the phrase “having no analogue,” vague doubts immediately begin to torment me.

    The draftsmen, showing a picture on the screen, shout: “Hurray! Created!” Stuffed artists, having molded a model from a paperweight, shout: “Look! They created it!” The High Evaluation Commission is surprised: “Look, look! They created it! They should give money.” High Financial Commission: "Now we know exactly where to throw the money." High Beneficiaries: “We should make sure that they give more, more. It’s nothing personal – it’s their own business. And bullshit throwers will be promoted.”
