The next batch of BTR-3DA armored personnel carriers, equipped with Shturm-M RWS, successfully passed another testing stage at a military training ground in Kyiv region before their transfer to the Armed Forces.
Fire accuracy and operations of Sturm-M RWS were verified during tests, the press service of Ukraine’s major arms manufacturer, Ukroboronprom, reported.
"For this purpose, a standard target was shot at from a 30 mm ZTM-1 cannon from different distances. Thanks to fire spotting with a modern digital system equipped with laser rangefinder, as well as the gun stabilizer, it is possible to achieve high accuracy in all fire modes," the report said.
Rapid fire mode ensures 330 shots per minute.
Sturm-M is also equipped with a 7.62-mm machine gun and an automatic grenade launcher, as well as Barrier weapon system, providing over 800mm armor penetration, not taking into account dynamic defense, at a distance of up to 5 km, allowing to destroy any enemy armored vehicles.
As UNIAN reported earlier, on March 20 Shkval and Stilet RWSs, intended for arming a deeply modernized IFV, underwent comparative factory tests at one of the military ranges in Zhytomyr region.
