Writes blogger dmitrydreamer:
At the landfill Pogonovo in the Voronezh region was a demonstration of a new way of disposal of ammunition, have served the established retention periods. Virtually silent disposal of such munitions has been achieved after the start of use of the device at the sites of the P-40 "Destroyer", developed by experts of the Ural pyrotechnic factory.

Finally, and in the Voronezh land came silence. Old method of disposal undermining delivered a lot of trouble the residents of the surrounding villages. From a powerful shock wave fought glass and cracked walls. And that at the site destroyed another batch of ammunition could be heard for a few tens of kilometers. Bezdetonatsionny way of recycling not only saves locals from the frightening explosions, but is safe for the personnel of the landfill.





2. According to the new technology at the site to dispose of 40 tons of ammunition a day and plans to double that number. The entire program is designed to 2015. In 2012, only in the territory of the Western Military District, planned destruction of 300 kilotons of ammunition. For reference, the power of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima was "only" 15 kilotons!



3. Under the Voronezh finish the journey of life ammunition from Lipetsk Kazinka arsenal. In the arsenal of what is there not: there and bombs and artillery and rockets, missiles. According to the decision of the special commission, this whole special freight cars went to Voronezh.



4. The principle of "Destroyer" is based on the use of a cumulative effect. The instrument contains a small amount of explosives, and fixed lens concave copper. After blasting charge copper lens turns into a plasma core that burns through the wall of the munition.



5. During the process the temperature of the jet stream over a thousand degrees burns TNT or RDX, constituting warhead charge, leaving behind only an empty metal shell ammunition, which was later sent to be melted down. This method of disposal of the munitions detonation does not occur, and the dispersal of fragments is virtually nonexistent.



6. Ready to neutralize 125-mm shells. Electrodetonators joined into one garland and waiting for the signal from the station subversion.



7. Funnel explosions. Earlier ammunition piled at the bottom of the pit, obkladyvali TNT and undermined. The pit deepened, fragments scattered on the polygon, a shock wave ran into the village. On the training ground a lot of boxes of ammunition. Some of them continue to serve the army, and some, unfortunately, are destroyed. Although that is easier: give away or sell their cottagers - with his hands torn off, and the army ruble.



8. The supervisor Leo Ermolaev.



9. In the next section we demonstrate the palisade of the two-meter tubes - a 122-mm rockets multiple launch rocket systems "Grad". Now everything is ready to start solid motors. Shells shells stored traces oiled paper - like new, only inside the whole chemistry has expired.



10. Previously, the shell completely undermined, engine and warhead detonated. Now gunpowder burns and warhead utilized "Destroyer." The nose of the projectile thrust into glasses from 156-millimeter shells shrapnel. If you just stick to the ground, burrow into the shells so that they have to pull out with the help of technology.



11. tailplane carefully pulled the ring - they will never not open in flight.



12. Sometimes, instead of a neat hole, the shell can be very pokorezhit. But it still does not go to any comparison with the total destruction of the body.



13.



14.



15. Unloading of the next party.



16. Endless landfill site, all gaping wounds from explosions. By the way, at the site it is carried out not only recycling, but also the educational bombing tactical aviation. Bomber Su-24 and Su-34 to Baltimore and Lipetsk - patrons of the local sky.



17. After the demonstration condemned shells, we were taken to sabotage the station to a distance of a couple of kilometers to see the process.



18. In the hot haze of a summer day on the horizon is visible and unfinished, Voronezh nuclear power plant heating (VAST).



19. The first sight was to be the burning engine shells "Castle." The minutes of waiting all camera lenses have imposed on the installation location shells. When there was a thunder as of jet aircraft, but in the viewfinder does not happen, it became clear - not all brought back. Just not many managed to catch fire in the frame of the jet - a process lasting a few seconds.



20. One of the engineers demonstrated subversive machine KPM-3.
Work on the disposal of ammunition "Destroyer" hold civilian specialists of the manufacturer.



21. After that, all brought to the shelter subversive station. Just in case. Suddenly, after the "Destroyer" still appears a stray shard.



22. hiss and hum lasted a few seconds. Then I was given the all clear, and everyone left the shelter. On the horizon, the blue sky shone, and nothing was like the burning ammunition. Only two, sun-bleached, flag tacitly warned: "Attention! Blasting work! ".
