But with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Red Army&#8217;s big guns were mothballed to storage depots.<\/p>\n<p>Yet with temperatures rising between Russia and the West today, the heavy artillery is being dusted off and modernized, including the 2S4 Tyulpan 240-millimeter mortar and the 2S7 Pion 203-millimeter howitzer, according to the U.S. Army&#8217;s Foreign Military Studies Office.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--center\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"primisPlayerContainerDiv\"><iframe id=\"google_ads_iframe_dummy_sekindoParent621\" width=\"720\" height=\"489\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation  \" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;After the end of the Cold War, the Russian Federation placed most of these large caliber artillery systems into long-term storage depots for several reasons,&#8221; explains the September issue of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/community.apan.org\/wg\/tradoc-g2\/fmso\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OE Watch\u00a0<\/a>, FMSO&#8217;s magazine. The end of the Cold War ended the need for weapons that could shoot long-range tactical nuclear warheads, while new ballistic and cruise missiles, multiple rocket launchers, and howitzers like the 152-millimeter 2S19 Msta could fulfill the same missions as heavy artillery.<\/p>\n<p>But Russia is now refurbishing these older weapons for the modern battlefield. &#8220;The 2S4 is reportedly being upgraded to interface with modern Russian artillery command and control systems, to include improved communication and fire control systems,&#8221; FMSO notes.&#8221;In addition, barrels and recoil mechanisms are being refurbished or replaced.&#8221; The resurrected weapons are equipping the 45th Artillery Brigade &#8212; Russia&#8217;s only independent heavy artillery brigade &#8212; as well as artillery brigades attached to armies and possibly corps. The big guns are normally organized into battalions of 8 to 12 tubes.<\/p>\n<p>But this doesn&#8217;t answer the question: Why is Russia bringing back old guns? Even the U.S. Army&#8217;s analysts can&#8217;t figure that one out. &#8220;Interestingly, although there has been much discussion about the capabilities of large caliber artillery pieces, there has not been a mention of why they are being returned to service,&#8221; FMSO says. &#8220;Since there is little need for a tube-based nuclear artillery delivery system, and there are efforts to equip the systems with laser-guided munitions, it is likely that these systems are envisaged to pulverize urban areas and field fortifications, tasks which are difficult for standard Russian 122mm and 152mm artillery pieces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Fuente:\u00a0<\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalinterest.org\/blog\/buzz\/big-guns-are-here-russia-bringing-back-its-cold-war-god-war-heavy-artillery-31607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/nationalinterest.org<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Relacionado con la creciente posibilidad de enfrentamiento entre las potencias occidentales y Rusia, este \u00faltimo pa\u00eds ha vuelto a pensar en la modernizaci\u00f3n de importantes&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18,29],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3624"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3624\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
