PzH 2000

The Panzerhaubitze 2000 (armoured howitzer 2000), abbreviated PzH 2000, is a German 155 mm self-propelled howitzer developed by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall for the German Army. The PzH 2000 is one of the most powerful conventional artillery systems deployed in the 2010s. It is capable of a very high rate of fire; in burst mode it can fire three rounds in nine seconds, ten rounds in 56 seconds, and can—depending on barrel heating—fire between 10 and 13 rounds per minute continuously. The PzH 2000 has automatic support for up to 5 rounds of Multiple Rounds Simultaneous Impact (MRSI). The replenishment of shells is automated. Two operators can load 60 shells and propelling charges in less than 12 minutes.

Rheinmetall designed the 155 mm 52-calibre JBMOU compliant rifled gun (60-rifles, right-hand spiral), which is chromium-lined for its entire 8 m length and includes a muzzle brake on the end. The gun uses a new modular charge system with six charges (five identical), which can be combined to provide the optimal total charge for the range to the target, as well as the conventional bagged charge systems. Primer is loaded separately via a conveyor belt, and the entire loading, laying and clearing is completely automated. The maximum range of the gun is 30–36 km with the standard DM121 Boattail round, about 40–47 km with base bleed rounds, and 67 km with M2005 V-LAP assisted projectiles. Specifications Mass : Combat: 55.8 t (61.5 short tons) Length : 11.7 m (38 ft 5 in) Width : 3.6 m (11 ft 10 in) Height : 3.1 m (10 ft 2 in) Crew : 5 (commander, driver, gunner, and two loaders)

Rate of fire : - 3 rounds in 9.0 seconds (Burst) - 10 rounds per minute Effective firing range DM121 Boattail: 30–36 km (19–22 mi) M1711 Basebleed: 40–47 km (25–29 mi) RAP: 67 km (42 mi) Armor : welded steel, 14.5 mm resistant additional bomblet protection

Main armament : Rheinmetall 155 mm L52 Artillery Gun 60 rounds Secondary armament : 7.62 mm Rheinmetall MG3 machine gun Engine : MTU 881 Ka-500 1,000 PS (986 hp, 736 kW) Power/weight : 17.92 PS/t Suspension : torsion bar Operational range : - 420 km (260 mi) Maximum speed : - Road: 67 km/h (41 mph) - Off-road: 45 km/h (28 mph)

Top 3 Russian artillery systems - Russia Beyond (rbth.com)

Artillery systems play one of the most important roles on the battlefield by safeguarding soldiers from enemy mortars, and by eliminating anti-aircraft systems at distances of up to 50 km. 

Koalitsiya-SV 2S35

To beef up Russia’s armory, this month the Defense Ministry ordered the first batch of new Koalitsiya-SV 152 mm self-propelled guns. 

The Koalitsiya-SV is set to replace the 2S19 Msta-S howitzer that’s been used by the Russian military since 1989. The new system boasts 52 caliber, 152 mm cannons. They’re equipped with muzzle breaks that reduce the huge recoil from the guns, which can shoot at virtually any angle.

The Koalitsiya-SV is set to replace the 2S19 Msta-S howitzer that’s been used by the Russian military since 1989. The new system boasts 52 caliber, 152 mm cannons. They’re equipped with muzzle breaks that reduce the huge recoil from the guns, which can shoot at virtually any angle.

But more importantly, the weapon has a fire rate of 16 rounds per minute: That’s twice as much as most modern battle tanks can manage.

The Koalitisiya-SV’s main weapon is a 152 mm high-explosive shell, while it can also be armed with laser-guided Krasnopol projectiles that use satellite navigation for precision. The first war machines will join the Russian army’s ranks by 2020.  

2S7 Pion

2S7 "Pion" (S7M "Malka") 203 mm SP cannon 

During the Cold War, both Moscow and Washington worked on developing artillery systems that could fire tactical nuclear shells on battlefields. Russian manufacturers managed to create such a system. 

The 2S7 Pion can carry up to four 203 mm shells (which is pretty low compared to other artillery systems) that can eliminate targets at a range of 37.5 km.

“After the first successful nuclear tests scientists started working on applying these technologies to all possible weapon systems - even in land mines and tank shells. Yet tests proved that these types of projectiles were not as effective as radioactive clouds that spread over battlefields for kilometers, affecting everything in their paths despite being friend or foe,” Alexei Ramm, military analyst from Izvestia newspaper, told Russia Beyond.

As he mentioned, these tests proved the tactical nuclear weapons to be ineffective, and the Pion artillery system received conventional 203 mm projectiles, instead of mass destruction ones. However, the shells still made the artillery system one of the most powerful in the 20th century.

2S5 Giatsint-S

The 2S5 Giatsint-S is another Soviet innovation created to fire nuclear projectiles.

But unlike Pion, this system was charged with 152 mm rounds that could reach up to 28 km. It also carries up to 30 high-explosive shells and can also use heat, cluster, and smoke missiles. It’s fire rate is six round per minute and the launch machine is always accompanied by an ammo carrier.

In addition to heavy weapons, Giatsint’s has a 7.62 mm machine gun installed on its turret. Each tank has five AK assault rifles and an RPG installed on its side for the crew. In case of an air-attack, it’s equipped with a “Strela” portable anti-aircraft missile system.

The 2s35 Koalitsiya-SV is the first self-propelled artillery system that uses artificial intelligence to lock on to a target at distances of up to 70 km (43.5 miles). In late May 2020, the Russian Armed Forces received its first shipment of upgraded Russian artillery systems - the Koalitsiya-SV. These metal monsters were developed with the express purpose of destroying large, heavily armoured enemy weapons far beyond the front line. A system of this sort can fire 10 152-mm rounds at a target 70 km (43.5 miles) away, turning it into a heap of metal - including tanks, artillery and mortar and even anti-aircraft systems! The howitzer is operated by three crew members, the driver, gunner and commander. The driver is seated in the centre in the middle of the hull, while gunner and commander are seated on either side. Three hatches are provided for emergency exit of the crew. The all-welded steel hull offers protection from mines, small arms fire and shell splinters. Features of the howitzer include warning receiver, night vision, microwave shell priming system, nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection system, and shock absorber. The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV uses components of the T-90 MBT chassis motorized with a turbocharged diesel engine developing 1,000 hp. The suspension is of the torsion bar type with either side having six roadwheels, idler at the front, drive sprocket at the rear and five track-return rollers, with the upper part of the track being covered by a skirt.
