Super-howitzer "Coalition-SV" today on T-90 chassis, tomorrow on the basis of "Armata"



As previously reported, currently manufactured prototypes of this product are sent to the troops. This year will be made a new batch of data CAO who will undergo full-scale tests.

Overall positive picture, according to some military experts, spoils what self-propelled chassis perspective, according to their data, widely used elements of modern main battle tank T-90A. What's wrong with that? "Ninetieth" is now well mastered in the military power of 1000-horsepower V-92S2 is quite sufficient.

It will be recalled that the 55-ton German howitzers PzH-2000 engine is the same power. Patriotic 2S35 German car much easier and, besides, better. According to the magazine "Arsenal of the Fatherland", promising SAO Brigadier link "Coalition" is different uninhabited combat compartment, automatic generation of modular propelling charge.

In addition, it created for pneumatic loading mechanism and microwave ignition system propellant.

That is, the degree of innovation, the development of domestic production designers has no analogues in the world. Create a system in the U.S. has long been abandoned, and why Russia is now becoming a leader in self-propelled artillery for many years.

It is possible that over time, as the mining chassis promising unified platform "Armata" fighting compartment and will be transplanted to it, as long as the correct decision to operate on what is already there.
