"Warta-2" was more effective than a Russian analogue with a "peat" module: what is the advantage

According to the expert, since the announcement of serial production "spokes" in May 2022, the module could not demonstrate acceptable accuracy of firing or stability during fire exposure. The tests that were held on the KAMAZ-43269 platform were unsuccessful-both through the combat module itself and because of unsatisfactory characteristics of the basic armored vehicle.

"BM-30-D" peat ", which was intended for installation on the KAMAZ line, still has very low accuracy of fire (unreal spread), as well as the lack of more or less adequate stabilization during fire," Kovalenko emphasized. Moreover, the additional mass of the combat module has a negative impact on the patency of the armored car - this figure is quite important on the front line.

Unlike Russian experience, the Ukrainian integration of the Sich module with the armored car "Warta-2" was without serious engineering difficulties. The module is equipped with a 30 mm automatic ZTM-1 gun, stabilized in two planes, which provides high accuracy of fire even in motion. The complex can also include a 7. 62 mm paired machine gun, automatic grenade launcher and a modern fire control system.

This solution is provided by the Warta-2 armored vehicle-a wide range of tasks-from the fire support of the assault units to the escort of columns and intelligence in high threat. Kovalenko also noted the export potential of Ukrainian equipment. According to him, "Warta-2" with BM "Sich" can compete with the Russian KAMAZ K-4386 with the "peat" module in the international arms market. "Increasing fire capacity in armored vehicles is now one of the most relevant and promising trends.
