Combat work of the Rapira anti-tank gun crew Here is the footage of the combat work of the crew of the 100-mm Rapira anti-tank gun of the artillery unit of the Southern Group of Forces while performing fire missions in the Artyomovsk direction in the zone of a special military operation. The crew of the Rapira anti-tank gun of the South group of troops fires at identified enemy positions. The crew works in real time using data received from an unmanned aerial vehicle near the line of combat contact to adjust fire. The MT-12 Rapira anti-tank guns fire very accurately. Artillerymen call the gun a ‘sniper rifle’ for its accuracy and reliability, which is very helpful in counter-battery combat against enemy artillery. The gun’s rate of fire is up to six rounds per minute without aiming recovery. The firing range is more than 7 kilometres. Objective monitoring footage confirms that the shells landed accurately. After firing, the gun is camouflaged, and the crew leaves the position and goes into cover. The ammunition load of the MT-12 gun consists of several types of ammunition. Armour-piercing sabot shells are used to destroy tanks, self-propelled guns and other armored targets. A shot with a cumulative fragmentation projectile is usually used for direct fire at targets with powerful armor protection. Manpower, firing points, and engineering-type field structures are destroyed using high-explosive fragmentation shells. The MT-12 anti-tank gun is capable of firing not only direct fire, but also from closed positions. Join Military Wave Источник: Military Wave
