New russian beast

[Matej]

This is the new self-moving russian gun named Koalicija (coalition) with two barrels. In every angle it is possible to use fully automated charging of ammo. Barrels are made from some special light steel alloy and work one after one (when the first is in the front, the second is in rear). The maximal cadence is 16 rounds per minute with provision to carry 70 granates.

It looks that the turret was modified from self-moving gun 2S19 Msta-S, but the gear is different. With seven pairs of wheels it is possible, that it uses the same gear as the T-95.

I wonder if it uses technology from the Navy’s twin 130mm DP turret arrangement.
Although why the barrels and breeches are mounted one above the other, I have no idea!

I have to wonder if they've scaled up the mechanism from their twin-barrel 23mm cannon?

What I find most interesting is that it apparently uses the chassis of the Object 195 ("T-95") tank.

Any possibility of an English translation or a synopsis of it's contents?

What was the caliber of ammunition used on the gun of this tank? Was it 130mm?

Try SYSTRAN

It produces quite a nice translation but of a file type which cannot be uploaded here,
Just type the web link in its box, and wait for it.

Thought this got cancelled at the same time as production of the T-95? Supposedly they, and quite a few other programs were cancelled in order to free up funds for a new Russian counterpart of the FCS system. However, given that the integrity of certain Defence Ministry officials is in severe doubt, I'd say that money is long gone.

 

[Andrei_bt]

can not confirm that it is cancelled

can not confirm that it is cancelled

So it got a reprieve? Interesting. Any idea when we might see a pre-production example?

 

[Andrei_bt]

maybe 2012, or maybe later, or never. I can't predict

Fair enough.

C&C: Red Alert came true.

Speaking of video games, it reminds me a little bit of a tank I designed for a video game over 10 years ago, in particular the muzzle brakes:

Unfortunately the game was cancelled.

Very cool looking machine!
