The Armed Forces of Ukraine have developed their own self-propelled anti-tank artillery installation. From captured Russian technology.
Soldiers of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after. Yakov Gandzyuk united the MT-LB army tractor and the MT-12 Rapira anti-tank gun.
The design should increase the efficiency of the gun and the rate of fire.
The infantrymen did all the design and construction work on their own. The system has already been tested and is in the war zone.
Regularly, the Rapira is trailed, but installing a gun on the MT-LB will reduce the time it takes to deploy the gun on the front line.
One of the key tasks was to create a structure that must withstand shots so that the cannon does not come off the car.
The military said that this design would increase the effectiveness of the gun and the rate of fire.
It will be more effective when working at a firing position, it will take much less time, the military says.
A captured Russian armored personnel carrier, which took part in the Second Russian-Chechen War, was taken to install the gun.
To ensure stability and real estate, MT-LB received beds.
Also, this MT-LB with a gun can carry an additional other trailed gun.
