well bursts for area form sniper rifle?
Widely deployed SVU bullpup design of the SVD is capable of full auto fire...
The SVD itself is semi auto to increase the number of targets you can engage per minute over a bolt action rifle...
I dont see such need, you can use then AGTM, artillery or silent mortar.
To 6-7km?
You could use Kornet, but at 3 seconds per km that means 20 seconds to 7km or so...
From 7km all mortars are silent....
It is to be precision weapon, if projectile is big enough can fly actually faster then muzzle velocity.
That is the suspicion... a projectile designed as a scramjet could use kinetic energy to defeat all sorts of targets...
They call it a sniper rocket rifle... which suggests precision and projectiles that are self propelled.
The drive is designed to combine the optical axis of the sight with the line of sight of the target according to the commands of the television tracking machine. The drive includes a control unit and a gear motor for vertical and horizontal pickup. The contractor will have to make a mock drive and test it with a rifle - including in conditions of high humidity, fog and in the temperature range from -50 to +60 degrees.
This makes it sound like it is a high precision weapon cradle with optical aiming system and television tracking system, so you put a rifle into the rig and turn on the high zoom TV system and you find a target and based on the ballistics of the rifle mounted it aims, with great precision, the weapon... laying it like an artillery piece would be layed by its fire control and optical aiming system would.
Information about the Russian sniper rocket rifle was first published in 2014. We are talking about firearm caliber 12-14 mm with a firing range that is an order of magnitude higher than modern samples. To do this, it is planned to use high-power ammunition. But the return of such a shot would not be sustained by the most trained sniper — during the tests, the weapon overturned the shooters. To reduce the recoil force of the powder gases is given in the opposite direction of the shot.
So to get the range required they needed big very powerful ammo... presumably 14.5x114mm or more powerful was tested and it over turned the firing rig... they have clearly resorted to increasing the powder propellent and redirecting it backwards to counter the recoil force of the round like a recoilless rifle setup.
According to the developments of the KBP, the initial speed of the bullet "Marker" will be about 1000 meters per second, the range of aimed shooting 5-7 kilometers. At a distance of 1-2 kilometers the rifle will be able to hit not only manpower, but also lightly armored vehicles
The initial speed of the round is 1km/s which actually the normal muzzle velocity for a 14.5x114mm round so we must assume this increased power weapon uses a much heavier projectile... they previously mentioned 23mm so maybe they are using 23x115mm rounds necked down to smaller calibre, or perhaps even 23x152mm round for the Shilka and ZU-23-4 rounds that they are now necking down to 14mm calibre with a heavier longer projectile to allow an onboard propulsion system to retain velocity. Even dead weight firing a 14mm subcalibre round made longer would improve performance in flight over greater range, but to get to 6-7km it would benefit from a base bleed, rocket, or scramjet propulsion system.
The velocities this round is moving at suggests HE payload would not be needed...
the words automated guidance system make me think otherwise
Automated guidance could merely refer to auto aiming where the user selects the target and the system aims the weapon automatically based on range and wind conditions and temperature etc etc... like that movie "The day of the Jackal..." where an aiming rig is used to precision aim a rifle for remote sniping...
seriously how would you fit camera (with right lens + radio + computer to + energy source 12-14mm round ?
If this is a sniper rig you drop a weapon into and dial up the ballistics of the weapon then zoom in a TV viewer to locate a target and fire the weapon at the TV viewer would take the photograph, the round would just use a propulsion system of some kind to retain a relatively flat trajectory and high average flight speed over a significant distance.
Of course you could set up a half dozen 120mm mortars in the back of a large truck trailer unit and fire them all at once sending 6 x 16kg HE rounds 6km away with some sort of GLONASS guidance to obliterate a target in a fire and forget mode, but this is rather more interesting.
Having this rig, that can be used to aim at targets at various different ranges allowing for different ballistics could be the solution to mine and Taddies idea of a universal weapon mount to replace the ZU-23-2.
You could put anything from an assault rifle, though PK series MG, Kord HMG, 30mm or 40mm grenade launcher, a rifle or larger calibre sniper rifle, an anti tank rifle, a light cannon calibre weapon, a 30mm cannon, a disposable shoulder fired rocket launcher, or reusable one like the RPG-7, RPG-29, RPG-32, and of course one of the new recoilless rifles they are working on too... effective range would of course depend on the weapon being used... assault rifle or RPG-27 disposable weapon could be effective to 600m with excellent optics and stable base, while rifle calibre MG fire could be effective to an extended range of 2,500m (over the normal 1,500-2,000m) because of stability and sighting system, and also accurate modelling of ballistics and laser detection of wind conditions etc...
Wht bout 3km/s projectile which gets 6km in 3 sec? still cn be corrected if US politician move couple of steps
US politicians are such difficult targets.... they are enormous, but have no heart to aim for and normal ammo does not normally kill them because of all their pacts with the devil...
