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".
The head of the Chechen Republic of Russia, Ramzan Kadyrov, showed the American-made Tesla Cybertruck electric car. According to Ramzan Kadyrov, he received the Tesla Cybertruck electric car as a gift from American billionaire Elon Musk. According to the latest information, Elon Musk said that he did not make this gift. The Cybertruck electric pickup truck was modified in Chechnya, a large-caliber 12.7 mm NSVT machine gun was installed on it, the car will be transferred to the troops. Ramzan Kadyrov tested the car and was convinced of its power and reliability. He noted that the Cybertruck car is very suitable for the name "cyberbeast", as it resembles an invulnerable and high-speed animal. According to him, the car is capable of overcoming obstacles, it is very fast and maneuverable, in addition, the car is very comfortable and easy to operate. The carrying capacity of the Cybertruck is about 1.6 tons, on one charge the pickup truck can travel up to 800 kilometers. Production of the Tesla Cybertruck electric vehicle began in July 2023. Tesla Cybertruck can be purchased in Russia for 18 million rubles or 200 thousand dollars.
Tests of the new 122-mm robotic SPG "Clover" began in Russia, it is worth noting, quite quickly for new equipment. SPG "Clover" was created on the basis of the Soviet 122-mm howitzer D-30, technical information about the SPG in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The Russian SPG "Clover" is equipped with a jam-proof command and telemetry communication channel, with an effective range of at least 500 meters, or a cable control channel, this allows the gun crew to work safely. Many criticized the automatic loader with a four-charge cassette, some sources report that it will be increased. Perhaps screens will be added to protect against FPV drones.
