The R225-7 main gun is a smoothbore cannon with a caliber of 120mm.
It is constructed from high-strength alloys to ensure durability and withstand the rigors of combat. The gun features an advanced recoil system that minimizes the effect of firing on the vehicle, allowing for quick follow-up shots and maintaining stability during engagements.
One of the standout features of the R225-7 is its exceptional range and accuracy. The gun employs a state-of-the-art fire control system, which includes advanced ballistic computers, sensors, and targeting optics. These components work in harmony to calculate precise firing solutions, compensating for factors such as range, projectile characteristics, and environmental conditions. This results in enhanced accuracy, even when engaging targets at extended distances.
The R225-7 main gun is capable of firing a wide array of ammunition types, including kinetic penetrators, high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, and programmable airburst munitions.
This versatility enables the gun to engage various targets, from armored vehicles to fortified positions and personnel. The ammunition is loaded via an autoloader, which reduces the crew's workload and increases the rate of fire.
To facilitate effective target acquisition, the R225-7 is equipped with advanced sighting systems. These systems incorporate thermal imagers, laser rangefinders, and day/night vision capabilities, allowing for target detection and identification in all lighting conditions. Additionally, the gun is compatible with external target designation systems, enabling cooperation with other units or aerial platforms for enhanced situational awareness and engagement capabilities.
The R225-7 main gun is equipped with a muzzle brake, which reduces recoil forces and muzzle climb, thereby aiding in maintaining the gun's stability during firing. Furthermore, the gun can be fitted with a fume extractor, which extracts propellant gases from the barrel, minimizing the chances of detection and improving crew survivability.
