bojan Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) MAN truck instead of KAMAZ and slight modification of gun and autoloader to enable use of the US legacy ammunition and charges. PS. Note there is no barrel, it was shipped separately, due the some obscure US import law. Edited June 1, 2021 by bojan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shep854 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Portee mode? My bad. As usual, I did some digging after posting🤪 and found that tube to the rear is the normal mount for the NORA gun. Edited August 16, 2021 by shep854 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Tan Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I think it will be excellent for the Sucessor States of the FUSA. Tarkov, eat your heart out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Tan Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 The NORA has a turret. It can fire 360 degrees. It usually fires aft to minimize the blast effect on the vehicle and to place more mass in the direction of recoil. The gun is usually returned to 0 degrees traverse for movement to minimize mass clearance issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Tan Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Moving the guns by low loader is stupid. They shoudl have been driven to the firing range to test their operational mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burncycle360 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Couldn't you just put a light weight tracked SPH on an HET for go go gadget wheeled SPH mode, and then roll off to traverse shitty terrain if you had to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Army changed requirements and has decided that in the future mech brigades will get 155mm arty, while 72 modernized 2S1s are enough for motorized ones. So project died even through it was finalized, as originally SORA was seen as a way to motorize towed 122mms for motorized brigades. OTOH, It's autoloader got upscaled and used in the latest NORA development, MGS-25. It is also formally available for export, as a program to convert towed 122mm.

Simon Tan Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Get remanufactured 2S1 from Uncle Vlad. SP D-30 is something that Houthi, Al Nusra and Taliban will use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoFiveMike Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 2S1 from Vladmart is clunky and eats manpower. Manpower is where the money is. Towed is fine if you're building firebases to oppress the wogs, but that's on the outs. The 122mm/5inch segment seems a good place to be for performance vs size.

Simon Tan Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The value of manpower is much less in a non-USian or NATO situation. A mildly modernized 2S1 is easily manned by national servicemen and reservists. Especially if maintenance is a full time billet. Operational mobility is a non-issue in Serbia IMO.
