Russian 2S19 "Msta-S" Self Propelled Gun - MASSIVE ARTILLERY

[@deadwing7051]

Quite often you'll see these things dug in because they have a built in self-entrenching blade. Sure, it's not quite as good as getting your support crew to dig you a trench, but they can self-entrench in the space of something like 5 minutes, far quicker than getting the lads to shovel you a defensive berm.

[@dai2dai246]

You forgot the most important ammo type, tactical nukes were doctrinally what this magnificient piece of artillery was supposed to fire.

Saw these guns first on news during the second Chechen war & I was awestruck, think about this gun being integrated with a UAV ? with this high mobility she can take on aerial targets as well, it's a huge round!!

[@gunbuckybucketman4578]

Damn,wiki said this thing can fire nuclear rounds? If it is that would be cool.

[@Lea_Kaderova]

Soviet/russian 152mm nuclear artilerry rounds exists from deep 70ties. Actually they introducing rocket propelled kit for ordinary 152mm round for Msta and Koalitsia which increase range up to 70km.

[@gunbuckybucketman4578]

Lea Kaderova Thanks for the info, also cool info.

[@Lea_Kaderova]

You welcome. I find it very clever since such smart arty munition in the west costs 15-20 thousends per round while this is just small rocket-scramjet unit installed on top of ordinary old round instead of original contact igniter. In combination with UAV equiped with laser marker, it very effectively and for fraction of price, supplying smart aviation bombs.

[@maksimluzin1121]

Every Russian gun starting from 152 mm calibre can shoot tactical nuclear rounds. By default.

[@BillPurkayastha]

Even American artillery of the 1950s-60s could fire tactical nukes. It's not that unusual. In fact I'll bet you that for all the ballistic missiles that it tests for media attention, North Korea has mounted at least some of its nuclear arsenal on its (extremely formidable) artillery.

It's just a mech decal on the back of the bleachers. The photo is likely from a tank proving ground display similar to Bovington (while not currently in progress so it is empty), and to break up the uniform black of the bleacher stand, they just slapped a photo of a mech onto it. Looks like the real thing, but since it appears to be located near one of the underside entrances for the seating, I would guess its also used as an indicator for location.

Hey Matt!

[@saimkhanafridi]

@Всё о сварке и самоделках. welding DIY projects. 😆😆😆

[@Mortablunt]

6 important differences: 1. US doctrine depends on air control before anything else, Russian doctrine does not presume friendly air cover. 2. US doctrine believes in using heavy fire power to support struggling maneuvers, Russian doctrine favors falling back if maneuver is not successful and only reinforcing successful pushes. 3. US doctrine places heavy emphasis on single shot marksmanship with rifles, Russian doctrine emphasizes automatic fire. 4. The primary firepower in the US squad comes from the machine gun, the primary firepower in the Russian squad comes from the rifleman. 5. The primary method of fire support in the US is airstrikes, the primary method of fire support for Russians is artillery. 6. US leaders task mission orders, Russian leaders task objective orders.
