This artillery system is able to find enemies and automatically mark them as targets on the battlefield. The artillery system is enhanced by a 7,62-mm machine gun that can help eliminate infantry and terrorists on foot, accompanied by a couple of grenade launchers that fire smoke grenades. Each shell flies at a speed of 1,5 km per second (for comparison, that’s roughly 5,400 km/h!) and can penetrate up to 12 cm thick modern armor plates. This is an automatic 57-mm artillery weapon with a fire rate of 80 shots per minute. The first is dubbed ‘Kinzhal’ (Knife) and was unveiled in June during the ‘Army-2019' military exhibition in Moscow Region on a BMP T-15 light armored vehicle. There are two modifications of the new gun. “These measures increase the weapons’ capabilities, as old Soviet 30-mm guns are no match against modern era dynamic tank armor and thus render light armor machines useless on battlefields’, he said. Most importantly, these modifications include installing newly designed 57-mm artillery guns, replacing the worn-out Soviet 30-mm weapons.Īccording to 'Homeland Arsenal’ magazine’s editor-in-chief, Viktor Murahosky, the upgrades are a necessity that have been postponed for too long. Old Soviet light armor vehicles are to pass a number of upgrades to make the rusty war machines a power to be reckoned with once again.
