"Sniper projectiles": Russia is 25 times increasing production of ammunition "Krasnopol-M2"

The increase in the production of this type of shells in the Russian Federation is due to the fact that the Ukrainian army has Western armored vehicles. Therefore, "Krasnopil" can become a tactical instrument in the ongoing fighting. The production of Russian artillery ammunition with laser "Krasnopol-M2", which is called "sniper shells" in the Russian Federation, is planned to be increased by 2524 by 2024.

August 17 was reported by ARMY RECOGNITS with reference to the director of the Tula enterprise KBP Vyacheslav Kovaleva. "Our popular" Krasnopol-M2 "-next year the growth of initial production capacity will exceed 25 times," he said. Commenting on the words of the Russian official, the observers write that the increase in production of shells "Krasnopol-M2" is associated with continuous fighting in Ukraine.

For Russian troops, the presence of this "sniper projectile" can become a tactical instrument in their artillery arsenal. "Due to the fact that Ukraine receives armored vehicles and other military equipment from different countries, the accuracy of" Krasnopol-M2 "can be regarded as an appropriate response to these means," experts say.

It was added that Krasnopol-M2 is intended for accurate destruction of goals, which may be crucial in conflict areas with the presence of military and civilian infrastructure. "Krasnopol-M2" is an artillery 152mm projectile, which, according to Russian sources, has increased accuracy. It is designed to defeat from the first shot, including moving goals during the day and night.

The main focus of its use is the neutralization of small terrestrial units, including tanks, direct guidance tools and other important point purposes. The ammunition is compatible with self-propelled howitzers type 2C3 "Akacia" and 2C19 "MSTA-C". The projectile weighs 54. 3 kg, has a length of 1300 mm and a firing range from 3 to 26 km. The mass of the fragile-fugitive warhead is 22. 5 kg, of which 11 kg falls on the explosive.

It is argued that the trajectory of take-off of gathering provides damage to the goals from above with high accuracy: the probability of damage within 12 km is 80-90%, and for purposes moving at a speed of up to 36 km/h beyond this range-60%. Earlier, we wrote about the use by the Russian forces of Krasnopol-M2 ammunition and how they differ from Western counterparts. It was noted that Russian shells differ from specimens such as Excalibur Flight Distance - 26 km versus 57 in Excalibur.
