Army recognition reviewers told more about the system. SWS2 is designed on the basis of the VN-1 8x8 armored personnel carrier, which provides it with high mobility. The main weapon is a 35-mm single-barrel with remote control, installed in an enlarged Turel, which includes an automated ammunition supply system and maintains firing up to 1000 shots per minute.
Turel is also equipped with anti-aircraft missiles "Earth-Air" (up to six units), which allows you to effectively combat different types of air goals. The gun has an angle of uplift up to 85 ° and rockets up to 70 °, which expands the installation. Radar and electro -optical sight are used for guidance, which significantly increases the accuracy of firing on low -size air threats. SWS2 is equipped with programmable shrapnel shells with tungsten subbounds that are ideal for combating drones.
The VN-1 platform based on the ZBL-08 chassis provides excellent running characteristics and autonomy. The machine develops a maximum speed up to 90 km/h and is protected by welded armor, which provides protection against small arms and artillery fragments. The observers say that Norinco promotes SWS2 as an economically advantageous alternative to air defense systems, such as Russian "shell-C1".
