At the Army-2024 forum, the Russian robotic tracked chassis MTS-15 "Clover" with a 122-mm howitzer D-30 was shown. The towed howitzer D-30, adopted into service in 1960, has now become self-propelled thanks to the robotic platform. It is now known that the Russian howitzer D-30 on the chassis MTS-15 "Clover" can be controlled at a distance of up to 500 meters. The howitzer "Clover" is reloaded by an automated loading system, cassettes designed for four shots, perhaps over time there will be more. The ability to control the howitzer MTS-15 "Clover" remotely allows you to protect personnel in the face of a large number of drones. The time to transfer the howitzer D-30 "Clover" from the marching position is 30 seconds. The maximum firing range is 15,300 m. The chassis load capacity is 15,000 kg. Maximum speed – 12 km/h. Fuel range 120-400 km.
We publish another version of the homemade protection "Tsar-mangal" installed on the Russian tank T-72B3M. This type of protection most effectively protects the tank from FPV drones, but limits the crew's view and allows the tank to be used only as a self-propelled artillery unit. At the moment, no one in the world has come up with effective protection from FPV drones. Usually, such tanks are used as lead vehicles in a column of tanks, and the lack of visibility is compensated for by information received from drones. Tanks with such protection are also equipped with anti-mine trawls, but in this case it is not there. In addition to the homemade metal structure, the T-72B3M tank is equipped with dynamic protection "Contact-5" and "Contact-1".
