Taking into account the experience of the Russian-Ukrainian war, there is a trend of a lack of means of defeating the enemy's manpower, which in turn provides sufficient protection. To defeat small groups of the enemy, unmanned systems have become widely used, which are quite mobile, accurate and easy to use, capable of carrying a wide range of means of destruction, depending on the nature of the target. However, with large-scale and massive offensive actions, the enemy actively uses radio-electronic warfare, where unmanned systems are powerless, but radial-axial high-explosive shells remain the main and most effective means of destroying enemy infantry. Taking into account the ratio of the cost of an enemy infantryman who is in modern means of armor protection and the ratio of the cost of cast from the appropriate grade of steel with certain impurities of a radial-axial high-explosive projectile of the required caliber, the ratio of economic costs remains favorable.
The article analyzes the impact of the fragmentation fields of radial-axial high-explosive projectiles on the enemy's manpower, which is in modern means of armor protection. The nature of the effect of the fragmentation fields of radial-axial high-explosive projectiles is analyzed. The conducted analysis showed that the most likely means of defeating the enemy's manpower, which is in modern means of armor protection or light shelters, are artillery systems firing radial-axial high-explosive shells. Thus, the article offers an analytical expression described by Poisson's law, which makes it possible to characterize the probability of damage to the enemy's manpower located in modern means of armor protection or light-type shelters, provided that the enemy's personnel is in the zone of damage of the fragmentation field of the radial-axial high-explosive fragmentation field projectile. The analytical expression can be used both to estimate the striking effect of the fragmentation field on the enemy's manpower in modern means of armor protection or light-type shelters, and to estimate the striking effect of radial-axial high-explosive munitions in general.
