9T260

The 9T260 serves as a specialized vehicle designed for the transport of 57mm ammunitions and the resupply of 57mm ammunition magazines, specifically tailored to support the 2S38 Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft (SPAA) Gun.

Design and Features

The 9T260 is equipped to stow and transport various ammunition types, including 57mm rounds, aerosol rounds, 7.62mm rounds, and 5.45mm AKS-74 assault rifle ammunition.

Operational Capabilities

"Uralvagonzavod" (UVZ), a constituent of the state Corporation "Rostec," claims that the 9T260 is capable of charging the combat vehicle of "at the forefront of the battlefield."

The 9T260's construction utilizes the chassis of a protected "Ural" truck, featuring an armored cab, body, and fuel tanks, ensuring resilience against impacts from 5.45-7.62 mm bullets and shrapnel.

It has the capability to simultaneously resupply two 2S38s, It is designed to integrate with Combat Vehicles, maintenance and repair vehicles, and a battery command post. Furthermore, it ensures the protection of the crew, equipment, and ammunitions housed in the van body against small arms of AK74/AKM-type, incorporating NBC protection measures. It can be transported via road, water, rail and air.

The deployment time by the crew of 2 is not more than 5 minutes. Loading the RV stowage racks with ammunitions by a trained crew takes not more than 120 minutes. The resupply of CV magazines without ammo type selection by a trained crew is completed in not more than 20 minutes.

The weight specifications are as follows: the curb weight is 16,540 kg, and the permissible fully loaded weight is 22,500 kg.

Survivability features comprise a fire-fighting system, an automobile filter-ventilation unit, and an on-board decontaminating system. Additionally, the 9T260 is equipped with supportive tools, including an on-board Special Purpose Tools and Equipment (SPTA) set. The vehicle reportedly has a range of 1000 km according to UVZ.

Loading and Unloading Process

A two-person crew can efficiently load the 9T260's ammunition within 20 minutes. The mechanized unloading process significantly reduces reload times and enhances equipment survivability, allowing for simultaneous loading into two 2S38 SPAA Guns.

A single 9T260 is capable of transporting nearly 600 shells of 57mm caliber, aerosol ammunition for smoke screens, and over 2,000 rounds of ammunition.

Customization and Armament

Developed by JSC "Research and Production Corporation "Uralvagonzavod," the 9T260 is recognized as one of the few protected means of support, specifically designed for the resupply needs of the 2S38 SPAA Gun. The deployment of an armored "Ural" chassis ensures steadfast protection against diverse threats encountered on the battlefield.
