MOSCOW, Dec 23 - RIA Novosti. The anti-aircraft artillery complex (ZAK) "Derivation-Air defense", armed with a 57 mm caliber cannon, will be able to hit the enemy with special guided shells, hiding from a direct shot in a trench, trench or behind a parapet, appropriate tests are being conducted, a source in the defense industry complex told RIA Novosti.

"Due to the use of guided detonation projectiles and the latest fire control system, the ZAK-57 "Derivation-Air Defense" developed by Uralvagonzavod will be able to destroy an enemy in shelters who is not available for direct fire. The complex will be able to get, for example, manpower hiding in trenches, trenches, behind the wall of a building, any obstacles," the agency interlocutor said.

He added that "earlier, preliminary tests of the "Derivation-air defense" were conducted for use in the conditions of a controlled detonation ammunition range."

The source explained that the ZAC control system calculates the time of detonation of each projectile so that it explodes at the desired point of the trajectory.

"As a result, the complex is capable of firing a series of shots, and the shells will explode in a chain in the air exactly above the enemy's trench, covering his infantry from above with shrapnel. The living force, safely hidden behind the thickness of the earth from direct fire, will be destroyed," he said.

"This function is also important for the destruction of small UAVs – a group of projectiles at the command of the control system will explode in the air at certain points of the trajectory in order to cover the drone with a field of fragments as efficiently as possible. Moreover, if necessary, the fragments will also cover the areas of possible maneuver of the drone," the interlocutor noted.

He added that the time of detonation calculated by the system is entered into each projectile using a programmer installed on the barrel of the ZAK next to the muzzle brake.

"The control system calculates the direction of flight of the projectile, its ballistics and the point of explosion by setting a timer for each projectile. As a result, the ammunition explodes on the flight path of the aircraft at the pre-emption point or above the trench, or around the corner of the building, and so on," the source said.

The composition of the ZAC "Derivation-Air Defense" includes a combat vehicle equipped with a 57 mm automatic cannon, a transport and loading machine, as well as a repair and maintenance machine. "Derivation-Air Defense" is equipped with modern optics and electronics that allow detecting, recognizing and tracking fast-flying targets.

As the head of the military air defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Alexander Leonov, said at the end of last year, state tests of the "Derivation-Air Defense" complex are scheduled for 2022.
