Currently, the Russia-Ukraine war is at a stalemate. The offensive and defensive war between the two sides in the Donbas region has intensified. After the Ukrainian army obtained more advanced weapons, it continued to launch attacks on the Russian army, forcing the Russian army to launch guided artillery shells . Fifteen American heavy artillery pieces of the Ukrainian army were blown up and abandoned. NATO cannot sit still and wait. This Russian artillery shell is the famous red earth guided artillery shell. This kind of cannonball is different from ordinary cannonballs. The strike accuracy is equivalent to the missile , but the cost is very low and can be used in large quantities. It is the best weapon for precision strike operations.
Initially, Redfield guided artillery shells were not designed to attack ground personnel, but were developed specifically for anti-tank use. During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union were equipped with a large number of tanks. Tanks are known as the "King of Land" and are the best choice for defense and offense. In terms of ground equipment, while equipping a large number of tanks, both sides are also developing various advanced anti-tank weapons. The red clay-guided artillery shells were developed as the anti-tank gun . A fatal blow.
In 2018, the Russian army used "red earth" artillery shells for the first time in Syria. As the rebels used drones and mortars to attack Russian air bases in Syria, inflicting casualties on the Russian army to a certain extent, followed by the Syrian army in Syria. An factory for fixed-wing drones was discovered in northern Idlib province, which may be related to the attack on the Russian army. In order to carry out retaliatory strikes, the Russian army stationed in Syria was instructed by the Ministry of Defense to use 2K25 "Red Clay" precision-guided artillery shells to destroy it. Drone factory. The entire strike was recorded by the Russian military drone . The precise strike and powerful force aroused strong attention once it was exposed. The "Red Earth" shell has a caliber of 152 mm, a weight of 50 kg, and a warhead weighing 20.5 kg. The locator equipped with a seeker and seeker head at the front adopts 8 quadrants, which can quickly detect and track the laser signal reflected by the laser irradiation target, and control the flight direction of the projectile through the servo until it finally reaches the target. destroy. The long-range strike accuracy is quite high.
In fact, many countries are currently using precision-guided artillery shells. The United States is equipped with several different models. The United States has two types of artillery shells, "Copperhead" and "Excalibur." A weapon developed in the same era as the artillery shell, the Russian artillery shell can have a longer range and higher strike accuracy than the American artillery shell. The advantage of guided artillery shells is that they do not need to consume a large number of artillery shells, avoid ammunition waste, and can achieve a limited number of artillery shells. Considerable damage results. Statistics show that during the Russo-Ukrainian war, the Russian army fired an average of about 40,000 artillery shells every day, but Ukrainian soldiers actually suffered no more than 1,000 casualties per day, of which casualties caused by artillery shells accounted for about 90%. It takes 30 to kill a Ukrainian soldier. Multiple rounds. The weapon's strike efficiency is very low. The use of guided artillery shells is not much more expensive than ordinary artillery shells, but it can achieve unprecedented effects. Therefore, the Russian army began to use red clay artillery shells. Carry out bombing.
