In Russia, the component of military air defense is being improved. One of the steps towards this kind of improvement is the Derivation-Air Defense complex., which is equipped with a gun caliber 57 mm. Remarkably, that this complex is not limited exclusively to anti-aircraft functions. His scope of work is quite extensive.. "Derivation-PVO" can also be used as a self-propelled artillery mount.
According to a RIA Novosti source, anti-aircraft artillery complex "Derivation-Air Defense" is capable of causing damage to the enemy even in the event, if he tries to hide from a direct shot. The guided munitions used by the complex can "get" the enemy not only in a trench or trench, but also behind a certain kind of barrier, including concrete wall. Relevant tests of "Derivation-Air Defense" are already being carried out.
Defeat the enemy in shelters allows you to achieve ammunition with controlled detonation. Its peculiarity is, that an explosion can occur at a specific point in its flight path after being fired from a cannon of an anti-aircraft artillery system.
RIA Novosti source from the military-industrial complex says that, that when the enemy tries to take cover, eg, in a trench, ammunition can explode above the trench - in the air - after which it will be hit by shrapnel.
Earlier, "Military Review" reported on the development of a promising guided artillery projectile (UAS) caliber 57 mm. The defeat of the target of the ammunition is carried out through the use of a proximity fuse. At the same time, the mass of the explosive substance of such ammunition indicated in open sources is up to 0,4 kg.
