METHOD OF FIRING FROM TANK GUN Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F41A9/38 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: when firing from a tank gun, operations of definition shooting conditions deviations from the normal range to the target and its flank speed are performed, select the type of ammunition and loading, calculating the angles of aiming and lateral lead and putting them in the angular position of the gun, the production of Aimed Shot. Further, the sealing conveyor autoloader is performed, it is forced to be heated to a predetermined preheater temperature constant control in the pipeline with shots air temperature of the temperature sensor and when the air temperature measured by one of the sensors, the maximum permissible value, disable the heating conveyor autoloader automatic heating control unit. By reducing the temperature below the maximum allowable include heating conveyor, and each shot is measured, charge temperature is connected to the ballistic calculator by noncontacting temperature sensor immediately prior to loading the gun.

EFFECT: increase of the initial velocity and, accordingly, the damaging effect of the kinetic type shells, increased firing range of other types of projectiles.
