The new SA2 anti-aircraft vehicle uses a naval turret mounted at the rear of the truck chassis armed with an H/PJ-26 76mm naval gun system. This new vehicle uses the same PJ26 type 76mm naval gun used by warships of China, which can fire 120 shells per minute and has a maximum range of 10 km. The 76mm gun is electrically controlled for elevation and traversing, and is stabilized in elevation. The SA2 76mm also includes an automatic loading system, Electro-Optical surveillance and tracking panoramic sight for detection, recognition and identification of targets. The turret can traverse through 360° and the elevation is from -10° to +75°. The crew cabin is at the front with a power generator at the rear. In firing position, two hydraulic jacks are lowered to the ground on each side of the vehicle to provide a more stable firing platform. The Chinese-made SA2 76mm seems to be very similar to the Italian-made Oto-Melara DRACO system a multifunctional land-based mount designed around the unrivalled 76/62 Super Rapid naval gun to create a unit capable of C-RAM (counter-rocket artillery mortar) role, as well as air defense and ground combat for different operational employment. |
