Dangerous hybrid: the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation used in the south of the A-22 from the landing ships "Bison" (photo)

The authors of the publication write that the Ukrainian bridgehead on the left bank of the Konka River was fired at 140 mm caliber missiles from the A-22-Cliber, which is used in particular on the Russian Wisent". It is noted that these rockets have a much larger fire power compared to regular 122 mm caliber missiles or smaller 57/70 mm caliber missiles, which are also placed on MT-LB. In this case, the range of a jet projectile by modern standards is small - 4.

5 km when using a regular ammunition and 9. 5 km - for improved. "The launcher has 22 shells, so the fire power of such machines is significant, but when using conventional ammunition ammunition is very small," wrote wrote. At the same time, experts noted the mobility of such installations, taking into account the running characteristics of the MT-LB. The armored vehicle is equipped with a power plant in the form of an eight -cylinder diesel of the YaMZ 238 with a capacity of 240 hp.

This allows her to develop a maximum speed of 61 km/h road with a hard-coated, 30 km/h off-road and 4-5 km/h while overcoming water obstacles. As for the A-22 ship systems, Defense Express observers believe that in all archaicity, it is a very dangerous weapon. The installation consists of two sliding launchers MS-227 per 22 pipes each.

The dimensions of the installation were obviously allowed to install it on the armored personnel carrier, as they are relatively small: 2 125 mm long, 1 735 mm wide and 2 200 mm high. In this case, the mass is also not the highest - 1 430 kg without ammunition and 1 700 kg in a charged state in all 22 pipes. The installation can fire with inflammatory reactive shells of ZH-45 with a warhead weighing 4. 8 kg.

In addition, the RSSU can use two types of fragmentation and foot jet shells: experts also have noted that the question remains-how many such dangerous hybrids are in service with the occupiers. After all, the naval fleet of the Russian Federation has two landing ships of the bison project, two were not completed, and three ships were disposed of. Therefore, the number of A-22 installations based on "bison" and stored may be limited.
