Early in the morning of 11 August 2011, in the Nizhny Novgorod region, landed "landing" of Moscow bloggers and photographers attending the tactical exercises artillery battalions of the 20th Army of the Western Military District. We do not often have the opportunity to witness live firing facing the Russian Army artillery systems 9P140 "Hurricane" and 2S19 "MSTA-S" and we took advantage of this opportunity.
1. Field Camp 288th Artillery Brigade, whose services to the Soviet and Russian state can only be seen by reading the full name of the team.
2.
3. In the officers' mess hall have apparently been waiting for. Army cooks prepared breakfast: pasta with canned meat, bread with butter, fresh vegetables, eggs, mayonnaise and tea. Especially liked the design of the dining room. Some bloggers there also rushed to photograph the fountain-duck, just sending photos to the network.
4. And then the fun began. It was scheduled to visit the three points landfill. The first point was the command post of observation and fire control artillery battalions.
5.
6. It exists! Unpretentious, tasteless, but firmly: Army GLONASS / GPS. To be honest, with all the splendor of the choice of navigation systems, so I would buy without a doubt to the most remote and extreme travel.
7. Upon arrival at the emplacements multiple rocket launchers 9P140 "Hurricane", guests are greeted positions outposts. Purpose outposts - protection calculations and engineering.
8. For guests organized a demonstration charging systems of volley fire "Hurricane", but in the process of firing the opportunity to see the process of loading the system in a real situation.
9. Firing artillery battalions is a complex process, starting from the work of artillery reconnaissance, ending command "fire" the commander of the calculation. The process involves several stages of target detection, determining the guidelines and instructions, targeting, mathematical calculations, aiming and opening fire.
10. Volley complex "Hurricane" is accompanied by not only the release of flames, but strong "sound effect." Next photo in this demonstrates: Photographers can imagine how strong a sound wave that causes shaking the camera and the photographer when shooting at close range so that in clear sunny weather, it turns out this "smeared" image.
11. On the more distant camera angles you can get better quality pictures.
12. Reactive systems of salvo fire BM-21 "Grad", the descendants of the legendary "Katyusha", firings that day did not produce, implementing training on the deployment of systems and preparing to fire.
13. Most of the landfill were presented self-propelled artillery 2S19 "MSTA-S".
14 photographers and cameramen were warned that a volley of four plants "MSTA-S" will not be very quiet ... officers to escort volley covered his ears, but the photos were too busy waiting for good shots.
15. Wooden "fence" around the trunks of ACS intended to limit the sector aiming. Calculations ACS service for the first time take part in combat firing. In the following exercises, they will no longer be limited by borders.
16. The command "Calculations 414 to come for an interview."
17. And in between firing and you can nap in the sun. In the army, there is a saying: "Give me a fulcrum and a soldier he falls asleep».
Despite a long night trip to the landfill, and some shortcomings of calculations during the shooting, we still have only positive emotions from visiting teaching. More than confident that such events for bloggers, photographers and journalists should be carried out, not only for the coverage of the Ministry of Defense, but also to obtain additional knowledge and positive emotions guests.
