The authors of the idea are teachers from the Kharkov Polytechnic Institute; they worked on the invention for five years. Now, in order to fire shots, the new tank will only need to timely refill the cylinder, which is mounted on the body.
“To ensure the operation of this mortar, it is enough for an ordinary soldier to come to a regular gas station and fill propane into this system,” said Konstantin Korichenko, head of the military training department of KhPI
At the same time, the military will be able to regulate the firing range themselves - to do this, they will only need to turn the cylinder valve.
“It will be no more than two hundred kilograms. The firing range that we are considering is from tens of meters to one and a half kilometers - it all depends on the power of the charge, which we have the opportunity to change before each shot, dosing the fuel-gas mixture,” said Alexander Skakun, head of the chemistry department of the Faculty of Military Training of KhPI .
