I have a question for anyone who could answer this (GarryB, Werewolf), in this video at '2:20' mark you see a 122 mm Grad warhead explode at an angle in the CGI graphic, is that some sort of directional fragmentation warhead? Usually you only hear about those kind of warheads in SAM missiles.

These are some of the pics from RU army Instagram account. They said it's OK to repost and share (naturally )

There is lot more on link but these are my favorites in these last few weeks. If anyone has high-res versions of this stuff please share.

Awesome Ansat paint job:

Does anyone know what kind of motorcycle is on the left of this photo? What models of bikes and quads does RU army use?

They are showing that the new warhead comes down perpendicular to the ground, which allows for better fragmentation properties.

The previous version came down non perpendicular, and the fragmentation area was not a perfect circle.

They show a coverage chart in the subsequent scene.

What he said.

Those rounds were designd to destroy targets in the open like infantry, non armored and armored personal carriers, Artillery and Mortar Batteries etc pp. .

Old rounds were only effecting targets close to epicenter and the effect on target varied depending on the angle to the ground, so majority of fragments were blusted into the ground while the remaing fragments were annihilitating close targets, now it nice cone. There is also another modernized and optimized version.

It has two fuze options, Elektronic Command fuze or Kontakt-proximity Fuze (Airburst).

Someone asked which company manufactured the ATVs shown above.

The model is the STELS ATV 600 Leopard by VeloMotors.

Recent well-known event. Dunno. Looks natural. Ok.

I have a question for anyone who could answer this (GarryB, Werewolf), in this video at '2:20' mark you see a 122 mm Grad warhead explode at an angle in the CGI graphic, is that some sort of directional fragmentation warhead? Usually you only hear about those kind of warheads in SAM missiles.

Very simply the video shows the problems of standard fragmentation warheads... a feature that has made howitzers and mortars more effective than guns for quite some time.

Very simply put the most efficient fragmentation area on a long slim aerodynamic projectile is its sides. Generally the nose is taken up by the fuse and the base has a very small area, so it is the sides of the round that most effectively fragment in a nice dense uniform pattern.

A high velocity round from a gun or a high velocity rocket means the round impacting the surface or being set off by a proximity fuse to achieve an air burst means one side of the projectile if facing down and one side is facing up so half the fragments are wasted.

A much lower velocity projectile from a mortar or a howitzer fired at very high elevations means the HE FRAG round comes in nearly vertically so the sides create a uniform dense pattern of fragments with no gaps.

This rocket design has a parachute to reduce its velocity (which is largely irrelevant for a HE FRAG warhead) but the direct effect is to change the angle of the projectile to near vertical which greatly improves the fragmentation pattern effect and makes the same warhead much more lethal.

That was me, thanks buddy!!!

Just checked out their catalog, looks like they also supply bikes to RU army in addition to ATVs. Good stuff

It's a bit old, but in the light of Armata rolling out, it's seems logical to pay attention to some particular parts and tech of T-90SM. Armata inherited a lot (certainly with better specs) of those.

it's 1920x1080 video. Be sure to set on max resolution - it's kinda worth it. Although it's roughly 250Mb..
