In Ukraine, they mastered the production of their own chassis with a wheel arrangement of 10x10.
As already reported by AUTO-Consulting, the other day there was a video with fragments of acceptance testing of the Ukrainian tactical ballistic missile complex "Grom-2" on which a self-propelled launcher with a wheel formula 10х10 is clearly visible. The development of the "Grom-2" is carried out by the Yuzhnoye DB of the city of Dnipro, but the chassis for the missile complex was manufactured at another enterprise.
As it became known to AUTO-Consulting, the development and construction of a self-propelled chassis for missile complex "Grom-2" deals with "Kharkov Transport Equipment Plant" with the participation of the State Enterprise "Kharkov Machine Building Design Bureau. AA Morozov ». It was here that the first Ukrainian self-propelled 5-axle chassis was created and embodied in the running model, which was developed from scratch by Ukrainian designers.
Within the framework of the project "Grom-2", two more special vehicles are envisaged: a transport-loading machine and a transport vehicle for the transportation of missiles. The self-propelled launcher is equipped with two containers for ground-to-ground missiles:
, br> Note that earlier in Ukraine there were no own chassis capable of being self-propelled launchers for this class of missile systems. The maximum that the industry could offer was a 4-axle chassis KrAZ-7634NE (KrAZ N27.3ЕХ) with the formula 8х8.
Ukraine was forced to independently develop and master the production of missile chassis, thereby completely getting rid of the dependence from outside in the development of the missile complex.
As already reported by AUTO-Consulting, the project "Grom-2" is being developed by order of Saudi Arabia under the contract and the total amount of about $ 300 million. The first missile complex "Grom-2" therefore has desert camouflage.
