The Burevestnik A190, also referred to AK-190 and A-190, is a lightweight shipboard 100mm single-barrel, multi-purpose, automatic naval gun designed to engage surface ships, airborne and coastal targets. The gun system can be installed on frigates, patrol and missile boats with a displacement above 500 tons and features two ammunition feed systems one on each side. It can fire High Explosive (HE) projectiles with impact fuze and Anti-Aircraft (AA) projectiles with time fuze. An automatic command and control system enables a fast response (2-to-5 seconds) to incoming threats as well as makes possible practice without activating the 100mm gun. The turret offers a coverage of +/-170-degree in azimuth and -15-degree to +85-degree in elevation. Somehow the A190 is the successor to the 76.2mm AK-176M naval gun system. The A190E mount includes a magazine with 80 projectiles. This naval guns system provides a maximum rate of fire of 80 rounds per minute and can engage targets at ranges of up to 20 kilometers. #indiannavy #russianweapons
