Norway and the United States plan to test the Solid Fuel Ramjet ultra-long-range projectile in the Northern Military District zone

24

Norway, together with the American defense department, will test the Solid Fuel Ramjet 155 mm ultra-long-range artillery shell in Ukraine. The first demonstrator of this ammunition was presented back in 2018.

The projectile is equipped with an integral or combined ramjet engine with an air intake located in front. The ammunition is launched using an oncoming air flow at a speed of about 2900 km/h, which is achieved using muzzle energy.



The projectile is guided by an inertial navigation module and a GPS correction unit.

When fired, a powdered solid propellant charge enters the combustion chamber through a valve, which is not regulated or is regulated through a throttle valve. In the first minute of flight, as the fuel burns out, the speed of the ammunition is about 2,5-2,1 M, then the Solid Fuel Ramjet moves by inertia.

The range of the projectile depends on the length of the gun barrel (L39/L52) and is 120-150 km.

The amount of Solid Fuel Ramjet ammunition that can be used in Ukraine during pre-production tests is not yet known. The Norwegian authorities have given permission to specialized companies to enter into direct agreements with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, which could significantly speed up Kiev’s use of Western weapons.

    They can be punished very quietly in the ocean where their ships sail.

      I’ve been waiting for a long time for the Houthis to fire some kind of Russian missile, or a torpedo, or a group of UAVs... or all of them together. But nothing!

      To do this you need to have eggs, and we have a shortage of them.

    The idea seems good, but there is a problem associated with the small ramjet and the fuel for it, as well as flight stability when fired at maximum range when the fuel runs out.

      So they will practice it in real conditions and against enemy opposition. Where else can you find such conditions for objective analysis?

    The training ground was set up quite well from Ukraine.

      Yes, but that’s bad luck, people who understand this should be tested, and at the “Okraina” training ground a Russian bomb or rocket may unexpectedly arrive and finish the test cycle

    the price of one 155 mm projectile seems to have risen by 50% in 2023 in Germany...
    and this one? You can just shoot for gold!

      Yes, everything is fine. The economy is growing. Society is uniting. A global rival is experiencing difficulties. Let everything go as it goes. At least for decades.

    Shall we express our concern again? And are we afraid to give a real answer? We can’t make Norway into the Sahara for our impudence? Have you tested anything interesting with testers? Encouraging arrogance increases arrogance manifold. Decades of “expressing concerns” have created an enemy in numbers.

      No. This time we will express deep concern.
      Deep concern is the Kremlin's terrible weapon.
      After her expression, many die.... simply die of laughter.

    We also need to do something new, far-flung and test it in the Northern Military District.
    Well, if it flies to Norway or Poland, it’s okay - they experience it, and so do we.

    I wonder if maybe the Kremlin at least has the courage to hit a plant in Norway with missiles? Some of the NATO bastards need to be taught a lesson.

    Great news! We were waiting for something new. We will also continue to fight with white gloves, and we will wait for something more deadly.

    The Ukrainians surrendered the country to everyone they could.

    The partners have completely lost their belts. This all reminds me of the cartoon about Leopold and the mice
