The MLRS BM-27M, for example, uses cassettes for launching 220mm and 300mm artillery rockets at the same time. According to the website bulgranianmilitary.com, the Russians plan to ake greater use of thermobaric warheads, which the TOS-1 rocket uses. Only the first 60 seconds of the video shows the new MLRS system. [Regnum] The newest multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) “Vozrozhdenie” was noticed in a Ministry of Defense video about the visit of the head of the department, Sergei Shoigu, to military-industrial complex enterprises in the Tula region, posted on February 28 on the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Defense. The Vozrozhdenie MLRS is a two-caliber system that can also act as a minelayer. It is assumed that some of the guides of a different caliber will be designed for launching missiles with mines. The Minister of Defense, during his visit to defense industry enterprises in the Tula region, inspected a new system for protecting radar systems, said that all Russian armored vehicles were expected to be equipped with additional armor protection, and demanded that manufacturers of MLRS and ammunition speed up the supply of these types of weapons. As Regnum reported, the creation of the newest two-caliber MLRS was announced in December 2023 by the head of the Rostec state corporation Sergei Chemezov. The installation, which is being created on the basis of the “Agriculture” remote mining engineering system, will be able to use rockets with mines and ammunition from the “Uragan” MLRS or heavy flamethrower systems. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are facing big problems due to the start of Russia's production of the latest mobile MLRS "Vozrozhdenie", their ability to simultaneously launch missiles and lay minefields does not bode well for the Kiev army, military observer Marcin Jablonski noted earlier in his article for the Interia publication. More from regnum.ru The Kupol plant is completing the development of a new combat vehicle The Izhevsk electromechanical plant “Kupol” has almost completed the development of the Typhoon-PVO combat vehicle (BM), the general director of the enterprise, Fanil Ziyatdinov, announced on February 28. General Director of the plant: the development of the Typhoon-Air Defense combat vehicle is almost complete “At the moment, the development of the Typhoon-Air Defense combat vehicle is almost complete, and preparations are underway for mass production. Even at the draft stage, she took part in international competitions in China, where she took second place,” Ziyatdinov told the National Defense magazine. "Typhoon-PVO" is a universal armored vehicle with increased security. The car is capable of withstanding explosions of up to 8 kg of TNT both under the wheels and under the bottom. The combined protection of ceramic armor and armor steel is resistant to armor-piercing incendiary bullets. The BM accommodates a crew of five: a commander, a driver, a machine gunner and two anti-aircraft gunners. It is equipped with portable anti-aircraft missile systems, launchers, power supplies, radar interrogators, and ammunition for a machine gun. On the roof of the BM there is a turret with a large-caliber machine gun of the Kord type. “Typhoon-PVO” is designed on the basis of a special-purpose vehicle for the Airborne Forces and is intended for use by military personnel armed with “Igla” and “Verba” man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems. The Russian Ministry of Defense explained that the combat vehicle will increase the mobility of air defense units, as well as their effectiveness in repelling enemy air targets. Experts previously noted that the Typhoon-Air Defense has high levels of security, cross-country ability and maneuverability. The vehicle was presented at the Victory Parade in Moscow on May 9, 2021 and marched in front of spectators as part of a mechanized column. The sample has passed the state testing stage. |
