"Army-2018". Huge exhibition military equipment, weapons and technologies was noted for a number of interesting novelties. The site has selected five of the most important samples that were shown by the enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex.
57-mm SPAAG "Derivation-Air Defense"
The prototype of the new self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery system 2S38 according to the ROC "Derivation-Air Defense" with a 57-mm automatic cannon was shown to the general public for the first time. Before that, the car could only be seen in a random photo from the Burevestnik Central Research Institute's workshop, taken in January 2018.
The 2S38 combat vehicle is based on the BMP-3 and is designed to destroy drones, cruise missiles, air-to-surface missiles, tactical aircraft, fire support helicopters. The designers also put into it the ability to shoot down rockets multiple launch rocket systems, destroy ground and surface targets.
Belarusian specialists also took part in the creation of this promising ZSU: "Derivation-Air Defense" is equipped with an optical-electronic system for detecting and aiming an OES OP developed by the Minsk OJSC "Peleng". It allows for 360-degree panoramic observation of the terrain, as well as for a sector view. Detection range through one of television channels small unmanned aircraft of the Bird Eye 400 type in the survey mode is declared at 700 m, in the narrow field of view mode - 4900 m.
The A-10 attack aircraft is detected in the first mode already at a distance of 6400 m, and in the second - at 12 300 m. them at a distance of 4000 m.
Universal "Tit"
BMD-4M2 "Tit" was designed taking into account the experience of military operations in Syria. The commander of the novelty received at his disposal a panoramic sight with a television and thermal imaging channel. It allows you to see further at night, identify the enemy earlier and give target designation to the gunner.
The combat module is equipped with an ATGM loading mechanism, an automated digital, all-day, anti-jamming system with the ability to automatically track targets by a fire control system.
BMD-4M2 is fully adapted for landing with a combat crew inside the vehicle by parachute method. He knows how to car and swim, so he will have to go to the court not only in the Airborne Forces, but also in the units of the naval marines.
Another advantage of "Tit" is its low price. The fact is that the Tit is unified with the BMP-3. Both machines have the same engine, transmission, chassis, and many other equipment.
Dangerous for BMPT tanks
Another exhibit of the exhibition that deserves attention was the BMPT T-15 with the combat module AU220M. The main armament of the module is a 57-mm cannon developed by the Central Research Institute "Burevestnik", capable of firing at a range of up to twelve kilometers. The muzzle velocity of the projectile is 1000 m / s. This is enough to defeat all existing light armored vehicles: infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers.
To defeat more protected targets, such as tanks, the module is equipped with 9M120 Attack missiles. The modern combined sighting system includes television and thermal imaging channels, a laser rangefinder and an independent two-plane stabilization of the field of view.
In addition to powerful weapons, the T-15 has serious armor protection: frontal composite booking, impenetrable for modern ATGMs with a caliber of up to 150 mm and armor-piercing feathered sub-caliber projectiles with a caliber of up to 120 mm.
The newest air defense system "Sosna"
The first public demonstration of the complex took place on August 21 in the Patriot Park in Kubinka. According to official data, KB of Precision Engineering. A.E. Nudelman, the Sosna complex is designed to destroy almost all air attack weapons, including weapons such as cruise missiles and guided air missiles, in the area of responsibility: in range - up to 10 km, in height - up to 5 km.
The use of rocket armament, consisting of 12 high-speed high-precision missiles "Sosna-R" of low mass and a compact launching device, allow excluding the transport-loading vehicle from the complex.
During the search and tracking of the target, the Sosna air defense missile system emits almost nothing (exceptions: identification by means of NRZ, radio communication with a superior subscriber and inside the battery), which complicates its detection. At the same time, the complex is capable of operating in a fully automatic mode.
Gazelle with laser burner
So far, the most mysterious development presented at the Army -2018 forum is the Gazelle with a laser burner. Unfortunately, so far there is information in the media about technical characteristics there is no this apparatus. Perhaps this device is designed to detect and disable the optics and observation devices of the enemy.
Having precisely localized the "electronic eye", the device hit it with a powerful laser pulse, blinding or burning out a sensitive element (photocell, light-sensitive matrix, or even the retina of an aiming soldier's eye).
Similar developments already existed in the USSR (we are talking about laser complexes 1K11 Stiletto, Sanguine and Compression).
Promises to be one of the most spectacular military events of this year. More than 1200 enterprises and organizations participate in it, which presented more than 18.5 thousand developments and technologies in the field of defense and security.
In total, 78 foreign defense enterprises from 14 countries are at the forum. National expositions were organized by Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Pakistan, Slovakia and South Africa.
The demonstration program, which was deployed on the territory of three clusters, involved more than 190 units of weapons, military and special equipment. Aviation is represented at the airfield in Kubinka, ground equipment - at the Alabino training ground. Here, on Lake Komsomolskoye, there is a water cluster, where one of the main novelties is underwater robots. Small arms are displayed in the area of the Multipurpose Fire Center.
Many weapons exhibits were shown to the general public for the first time.
SHCh sniper rifle
The latest development for high-precision shooting. Semi-automatic sniper rifle Chukavin (microwave) is presented in two calibers - 7.62 × 54 mm and 7.62 × 51 mm (the latter is also known as .308 Win, very popular on the world market). At the same time, in the caliber of 7.62 × 54 mm, it is compatible with magazines from the SVD. In the basic configuration, the microwave is equipped with a telescopic buttstock with an adjustable cheek.
- Microwave rifle
According to the general director of the Kalashnikov concern (part of Rostec) Alexei Krivoruchko, this development has a very great future, the Ministry of Defense and the Russian Guard, as well as export partners, are interested. There are great prospects in the civilian market. “We are already conducting part of the tests concerning the civilian direction this year and hope to start testing these rifles for law enforcement agencies in the near future,” he said in an interview with TASS.
From the usual small arms Microwave differs primarily in its layout. The designers decided to move away from the traditional scheme with a receiver, a closing lid. The new layout makes it easier to mount the optics, collimator sights, night and thermal imaging attachments and other sighting systems.
BMD-4M with combat module "Tit"
Presented at the exhibition for the first time. BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle developed by the Tractor Plants concern. The combat module "Tit" is an improved fighting compartment of an infantry fighting vehicle - BMP-3, which retained a powerful set of weapons as part of a 100-mm cannon - a 2A70 launcher, a 30-mm 2A72 automatic cannon and a PKTM 7.62 machine gun
BMD-4M with "Tit" is designed to transport airborne troops, combat from a vehicle and fire support. Its full combat weight does not exceed 14.3 tons. The crew consists of three people, the transportation of four paratroopers is allowed. BMD-4M can be parachuted with a combat crew inside.
As stated in an interview with TASS chief designer Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering Sergei Abdulov, "Sinitsa" was created from scratch - the terms of reference of the Ministry of Defense were issued for it, and now the product is undergoing preliminary tests.
The previously developed version of the BMD-4M was equipped with a Bakhcha-U fighting compartment.
Medical armored car "Tiger"
The medical version of the BMA "Tiger" armored car was created by the Military Industrial Company (MIC). This car was made on an initiative basis.
As the general director of the company Alexander Krasovitsky said in an interview with TASS at the forum, this car can be both armored and unarmored. “We are planning to make it on the basis of the VPK-233136“ Tiger ”- this is the fifth class of protection, which keeps a bullet with a heat-strengthened core from a 7.62 mm Kalashnikov assault rifle,” he said.
According to the general director, the car has become taller, it can accommodate four wounded soldiers in a horizontal position or four in a sitting position, plus a driver, a doctor or paramedic and another medical worker.
Tank support combat vehicle "Terminator"
The car was used in demonstration shows at the Alabino training ground. It became known at the forum that for the first time the Russian Ministry of Defense bought the Terminator tank support combat vehicle (BMPT) in the interests of the Ground Forces.
Terminator 1 was created taking into account the military operations that were conducted in Afghanistan. BMPT based on the T-90 tank is able to identify a latent threat and destroy it before the main tank is hit. The crew is five people. Firepower provide two 30-mm automatic cannons, one machine gun, two AGS-30 grenade launchers and four Ataka-T anti-tank guided missiles.
Armored personnel carrier BTR-87
Presented at the exhibition for the first time. The new armored personnel carrier, designated BTR-87, was developed by the Military Industrial Company. He received a front-engine layout, in which the landing and disembarkation of troops is carried out through the aft doors.
This is a proactive development work. There can be a stern exit for paratroopers with a swing door, as shown in the sample at the exhibition, or we can make a very convenient hinged ramp again in the stern. This is the main difference between the BTR-87 and the BTR-82A, where the troops land through the hatches, which are located in the sides of the hull.
The new vehicle is equipped with the chassis of the BTR-82A armored personnel carrier. BTR-87 is a four-axle all-wheel drive amphibious vehicle with 8 × 8 wheel arrangement. The BTR-87 received a combat module, the armament of which includes a 30-mm automatic cannon, a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun, and four anti-tank guided missiles.
According to the developers, the BTR-87 has already passed a number of tests and is now being presented to the Ministry of Defense in order to open development work in the interests of the military department.
Motorcycle IZH for special forces
The presentation of a silent motorcycle designed for the special forces took place within the framework of the forum. As the general director of the Kalashnikov concern, Aleksey Krivoruchko, said, the Russian military department is already testing electric motorcycles.
According to the head of the company, the range of motorcycles produced by the concern will be very wide. “We will make different models, different classes, but the emphasis will be on electric motorcycles,” he explained. The plans include the manufacture of other electric vehicles.
As previously reported, the concern has developed an electric motorcycle for the traffic police and police patrol units. The power reserve for charging such a car is 150 km. The maximum power is 15 kW. The first samples will be handed over to the Metropolitan Police at the end of August.
Communication armored vehicle "Tiger-US"
Presented at the exhibition for the first time. This machine will be able to transform into a command and control center, a secure communications center or a mobile data center.
According to the general director of Voentelecom Alexander Davydov, the system has unprecedented characteristics and is capable of replacing up to 70% of bulky and different types of command and staff vehicles and complex communication hardware, while providing much richer functionality and significantly improved tactical and technical characteristics with a significant reduction in the purchase cost and service.
It also became known that at the concept level, Voentelecom considers this communication and control vehicle as an unmanned, controlled artificial intelligence, independently determining the route of travel, based on the situation in the theater of operations.
Buggy "Chaborz" M-6
New six-seater buggy "Chaborz" M-6 presented the training center of forces special purpose Chechnya.
It is primarily intended for military needs and has ample opportunities for the transportation of goods and the installation of additional equipment. Serial production of all-terrain vehicles at the Chechenavto plant will begin after the presentation at the Army-2017 forum.
Today the volume of serial production is 30 cars per month. The vehicle is versatile and adaptable to various military and civilian needs.
Combat module using neural network technologies
For the first time in the pavilion of the Kalashnikov concern, a new combat module with the use of neural network technologies, which allows it to recognize targets and make decisions, is presented.
A neural network is a rapidly learning system that is able to act not only in accordance with a given algorithm, but also on the basis of previously used experience. It also became known that this combat module could go into production in 2018. It can be installed on any vehicle.
"Shotgun" to combat drones
Electromagnetic "gun" "Stupor" was created by the Main Research and Testing Center of Robotics of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to suppress unmanned aerial vehicles.
As reported in the booklet of the complex, "Stupor" is designed to suppress drones, including the copter type, used on the earth and water surface, at a line-of-sight distance. In addition, it can suppress the navigation and transmission channels of drones, as well as their photo and video cameras in the optical-electronic range.
"Shotgun" emits electromagnetic pulses and is primarily intended to suppress the control channel of the drone, which, under the influence of radiation, loses communication with the operator, which leads to uncontrolled flight and a fall.
"Stupor" operates at a distance of 2 km in a 20-degree sector. It can be charged both from the mains and from a car battery.
Kurganmashzavod today sent the last batch of 25 multipurpose armored personnel carriers BTR-MDM to the Airborne Forces within the framework of the state defense order, having completed a three-year contract with the Ministry of Defense four months earlier. And at the same time he demonstrated new items - BMP-3M "Dragoon", BMD-4M with combat module "Sinitsa" and others.
The plant has made a lot of efforts to create armored vehicles, starting with design, construction, production adjustment, and then the completion of the contract. The contract allows the Department of Defense to equip Airborne Forces units with vehicles that were not available before. These are new combat capabilities, - says the first deputy executive director of the plant, Alexei Losev.
Recall that the airborne combat vehicles were shipped on March 3, 2015. "Shell", as the armored personnel carrier BTR-MDM is also called, is intended for the transportation of personnel, spare parts, ammunition, fuels and lubricants. It is equipped with a modern weapon system. With this technique, paratroopers can destroy the enemy during a battle without entering the zone of direct fire damage. The vehicle is adapted to be dropped from a military transport aircraft together with the crew; it can move on water and on land.
According to Nikolay Grekhov, Deputy Chief Designer for Serial Production of the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, new technique differs from the previous class of airborne vehicles with an increased power engine.
Most importantly, it is unified with the BMP-3. This is a great advantage in the repair, operation of machines, - said the representative of the design bureau - That is, they run on the same oils, on the same fuel. There are a number of other benefits. The paratroopers like her in terms of mobility.
The customers were satisfied with the work of the Kurgan craftsmen.
The three-year contract has been successfully completed, but this is not the end of our cooperation with Kurganmashzavod, - said the head of the military representative office Yevgeny Sutormin. - The next contract is already in the Ministry of Defense and will be signed in the near future.
On the same day, the journalists were shown prototypes of the BT-3F armored personnel carrier based on the BMP-3, which is designed to transport marines and fire support for dismounted troops, the BMP-3M "Dragoon" infantry fighting vehicle, as well as the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle with combat module "Tit".
The first two cars - BT-3F and Dragoon - have already visited the army exhibition last year, but the Titmouse has not yet been shown to the general public. So far, she is only prepared for preliminary tests.
- "Tit" is fundamentally different from previous models in that it has a panoramic sight with a thermal imaging channel, thanks to which the crew commander will be able to see further at night, identify the enemy earlier and give target designation to the gunner, - explained the first deputy chief designer of SKBM Aleksey Kozlov. - The car is floating, overcomes water obstacles without preparation afloat at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour. It can work with water with all types of weapons.
By the way, this year's military parade in Moscow will be attended by 18 Kurgan vehicles, including Kurganets, BMP-3, BMD-4M and Shell.
