Combat module titmouse. Works of OAO "Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering". Dangerous for BMPT tanks

The road to the tank is not given way out of politeness. You understand this army proverb literally when you see the T-14 Armata tank up close. The Predator of the battlefield fascinates with its formidable beauty and inspires respect for the menacing power hidden under the multi-layered armor.

To match the "Armata" and its "flock" ready to attack: a heavy infantry fighting vehicle T-15 with a combat module "Dagger", a tank support combat vehicle "Terminator", an armored personnel carrier "Boomerang", an infantry fighting vehicle "Kurganets-25", anti-aircraft artillery complex "Derivation-Air Defense".

All these newest vehicles for modern combat meet visitors immediately at the entrance to the Patriot Exhibition and Convention Center.

Further, in the pavilions and outdoor areas of the IV International Military-Technical Forum (IMTF), there are many more exhibits, acquaintance with which only enhances the feeling of pride in our Armed Forces and our military-industrial complex.

Russia is being threatened that “sanction pressure and diplomatic efforts will be backed up by military means”?! Oh well…

You can't hold the "tit" in your hands

“Today we are presenting about 26,000 units of military products,” Russian Defense Minister General of the Army Sergei Shoigu said at the opening ceremony of the IMTF-2018. “This is equipment, weapons, this is what is needed to ensure security at sea, in the air, on land.”

The head of the military department emphasized that most of what is presented at Army-2018 has been tested in real combat conditions, in the fight against international terrorism. The weapon not only confirmed its characteristics, but also showed that the Russian industry has reached the most modern, high level.

The paratroopers have already appreciated the advantages of our promising BMD-4M2 Sinitsa, - Sergey Chirkov, deputy chief designer of Kurganmashzavod, told the Zvezda weekly. - We designed it taking into account the combat experience of using armored vehicles in Syria.

The airborne combat vehicle "Tit" differs from previous models in that it has a panoramic sight with a television thermal imaging channel. Now the crew commander will be able to see further at night, identify the enemy earlier and give target designations to the gunner. The combat module is equipped with an ATGM loading mechanism, an automated digital, all-day, jam-proof fire control system with the ability to automatically track targets. Other combat features have also been improved.

BMD-4M2 is fully adapted for landing with combat crew inside the vehicle by parachute. And the armored “titmouse” bird is a waterfowl, which means it can serve not only in the Airborne Forces, but also in parts of the Marine Corps of the Navy, according to the designer, an important advantage of the combat vehicle is its cheapness.

- "Tit" is unified with the BMP-3, - said Sergey Chirkov. - Both machines have the same engine, transmission, chassis, and much more equipment. With serial production, this will not only provide the Armed Forces with high-quality modern armored vehicles, but will also save money from the state budget.

BMD-4M2 is now undergoing factory tests. According to Chirkov, the results are excellent.

The main events of the Army-2018 forum are held from August 21 to 26 at the Patriot Exhibition and Convention Center, at the Kubinka airfield and the Alabino training ground. The products are presented by about 1,500 organizations and enterprises that provide the Russian Armed Forces with modern weapons. Within the framework of the events, exposition, demonstration and scientific and business programs are provided.

The demonstration program will traditionally become a spectacular event and demonstrate the power of Russian weapons, military and special equipment.

The main thing is that the suit sits ...

It does not sink in water, it does not burn in fire, - Sergey Korelin, a leading specialist of the Perm CJSC "Kirasa", suggests trying the special fabric of the 6B49 combat protective kit to the touch.

Fabric is like fabric. Dense.

It is not pierced by a fragment flying at a speed of 240 meters per second, says Korelin. - Special inserts on the joints, for example, knee pads, hold the impact of the striking element, which flies at a speed of 540 meters per second. This is the first class of protection!

Means of individual armor protection and combat equipment developed and produced by the Perm "Kirass" saved many soldiers' lives during the conduct of hostilities in the North Caucasus. Now CJSC "Kirasa" is the supplier of TsNIITochmash, the head enterprise for the creation of military equipment for the Russian soldier "Warrior". In addition to a protective suit, Permians supply protective gloves, hip shields, a ventilating T-shirt and a “tricky” heat-insulating mat for the kit.

You can sleep on it on the ground, in the snow, - said Sergey Korelin. - And when forcing a water barrier, it easily transforms into an element of positive buoyancy.

Next to the "Ratnikov" equipment already supplied to the troops, the initiatively developed combat protection "Permyachka-MM" is presented. According to Korelin, this is in the field of individual protection of a fighter on the battlefield - "just space."

Quote

“Traditionally, this large-scale review of the latest developments in the defense industry brings together leading Russian and foreign experts, serves as a popular platform for discussing issues of military-technical cooperation and, of course, helps to strengthen partnership contacts between the defense departments of different countries...

I am convinced that the extensive program of the forum will again convincingly demonstrate the enormous potential of our gunsmiths: designers, engineers, workers. It is their hands and talent that create unique equipment for the Russian army and navy.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin, from an address to the participants and guests of the IMTF "Army-2018", August 21, 2018.

"Plant "Selmash"" strategic purpose

The pavilion of the Tactical Missiles Corporation presents rockets and bombs, with which our Aerospace Forces “pounded” terrorists of all stripes into fine dust in Syria.

KAB-500Kr works on the principle of "dropped - forgot," - told the weekly "Zvezda" Petr Nikolaenko. - This corrected aerial bomb with a television-correlation homing head and a concrete-piercing warhead is able to "remember" the location of the target and independently correct its flight before hitting the enemy. Inescapable weapon, super bomb. The Americans make expensive cruise missiles with such equipment, and with it we make inexpensive, but high-precision bombs. Of course, we are ahead.

Petr Nikolaenko is a specialist of a defense enterprise with a completely “peaceful” name of the State Research and Production Enterprise “Region”. Stopping at another booth at the forum, the photographer and I, without saying a word, unanimously recalled an old anecdote.

“TASS is authorized to announce that yesterday four enemy divisions crossed the border and attacked a peacefully plowing Soviet tractor. With heavy rocket and artillery fire, the tractor repulsed the treacherous attack, while destroying 30 tanks and up to 10,000 enemy soldiers. After that, turning on the marching engines, the agricultural machinery disappeared into near-Earth outer space. Tractor driver Major Petrov presented to the order. Colonel-General Sidorov, chairman of the collective farm, warns: if the incident repeats, then Soviet seeders, winnowers and a combine with vertical take-off will enter the field.

Well, what else could you remember when, under the sign of JSC “Plant “Selmash””, we saw a huge active-reactive mine for a 240-mm self-propelled artillery mortar of the reserve of the Supreme High Command “Tulpan” and a couple of dozen more ammunition?!

In June 1943, the first wagons with shells for 100-mm field guns went to the front from our plant, - says the first deputy. General Director of the Kirov enterprise Alexander Maksen. - Since then, all domestic shells of calibers from 76 to 152 mm are of our production. Our technologies have been developed to such an extent that we are ready at any moment to switch to the mass production of any modern ammunition.

Next to the "Topol" grows "Pine"

... Officers of military attaches and people in civilian clothes from many countries walk around the exhibition from exhibit to exhibit, in groups and singly. They all click their cameras almost non-stop. Apparently, they are removed for memory, for family albums ...

Our most formidable troops - the Strategic Missile Forces - did not present the new Yars and the latest Sarmat. The Topol mobile missile system, which has long been faithfully serving the Motherland, is "taken off" for everyone. However, it is also filmed by foreigners from different angles.

And here is another, really super-new "plant" from our "khaki forest" at the Army-2018 forum, domestic defense workers showed for the first time.

In the Russian army, the Sosna anti-aircraft missile system will soon be in service, - the managing director of JSC KBtochmash named after A.E. Nudelman" Valery Makeev. - Now preparations are underway for its mass production.

Armed with 12 9M340 Sosna-R anti-aircraft guided missiles with a laser beam guidance system, this air defense system is capable of combat day and night, in the most extreme climatic conditions, from a standstill and on the move. What is important in the conditions of modern combat: "Pine" cannot be "cut down" by radar and optical means of suppression. The air defense system is designed to protect troops from air attack and reconnaissance means, and is ready to shoot down everything - from aircraft to drones - at a distance of up to 10 km and an altitude of up to 5 km.

There is no such unique anti-aircraft missile system in the armies of any of the industrialized states.

Colonel-General Sergey Ivanov: “It is impossible to give us a second freshness”

“The Russian military-technical forum has become the best in the world, I have been to many foreign arms exhibitions and can compare objectively. Our industry shows the whole world what Russian brains and hands are capable of. That is why so many foreign delegations have come to us now. The Turkish military leadership has never come to Russia before - now they are our guests. Many people in the world are interested in our small arms, military equipment for various purposes. We have qualitative breakthroughs in all areas.

Personally, I am very pleased that such a breakthrough happened in the creation of a modern element base, including radiation-resistant ones. Because of the sanctions imposed on our country, things were bad here, spacecraft - though not for military purposes, but for civilian ones, fell because of this. Now we produce our own high-quality electronic components.

In general, in all respects, the weapons we now have are wonderful. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov select the best examples for the Russian Armed Forces. They are well aware of what they are doing, and, in simple terms, it is impossible for them to "sell" anything "second freshness."

Sergei Ivanov, retired Colonel General, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Environmental Protection, Ecology and Transport, Russian Minister of Defense in 2001-2007.

Kurganmashzavod today sent the last batch of 25 BTR-MDM multi-purpose armored personnel carriers to the Airborne Forces as part of the state defense order, completing 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 a combat module "Titmouse" and others.

The plant put a lot of effort into the creation of armored personnel carriers, starting with the design, construction, production setup, and then the completion of the contract. The contract allows the Ministry of Defense to equip units of the Airborne Forces with vehicles that did not exist 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 designed to transport personnel, spare parts, ammunition, fuel and lubricants. It has a modern weapon system. With this technique, paratrooper units during the battle can destroy the enemy without entering the zone of direct fire damage. The machine is adapted for landing from a military transport aircraft together with the crew, it can move on water and on land.

According to Nikolai Grekhov, Deputy Chief Designer for Serial Production of the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, the new equipment differs from the previous class of Airborne Forces 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 a representative of the design bureau - That is, they operate on the same oils, on the same fuel. There are a number of other benefits. The paratroopers like it in terms of mobility.

The customers were satisfied with the work of the Kurgan craftsmen.

The three-year contract has been successfully completed, but our cooperation with Kurganmashzavod does not end there, - said the head of the military representation, Evgeny Sutormin. - The next contract is already in the Ministry of Defense and will be signed in the near future.

On the same day, journalists were shown prototypes of the BT-3F armored personnel carrier based on the BMP-3, which is designed to transport marine units and fire support for dismounted troops, the BMP-3M Dragoon infantry fighting vehicle, and the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle with combat module "Titmouse".

The first two vehicles - BT-3F and "Dragoon" - have already visited the army exhibition last year, but "Titmouse" has not yet been shown to the general public. It is still only prepared for preliminary tests.

“Sinitsa 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 Aleksey Kozlov, First Deputy Chief Designer of SKBM. - The machine is floating, overcomes water obstacles without training afloat at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour. It can work from the water with all types of weapons.

By the way, this year 18 Kurgan vehicles will take part in the military parade in Moscow, including Kurganets, BMP-3, BMD-4M and Rakushka.

It promises to be one of the most spectacular military events of this year. More than 1,200 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, the forum includes 78 foreign defense enterprises from 14 countries. National expositions were organized by Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Pakistan, Slovakia and South Africa.

The demonstration program, which unfolded on the territory of three clusters, involved more than 190 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 Multifunctional Fire Center.

Many weapons exhibits were shown to the general public for the first time.

SHF sniper rifle

The latest development for high-precision shooting. The Chukavin semi-automatic sniper rifle (SHF) is available in two calibers - 7.62×54 mm and 7.62×51 mm (the latter is also known as .308 Win, very popular in the world market). At the same time, in caliber 7.62 × 54 mm, it is compatible with magazines from SVD. In the basic configuration, the microwave is equipped with a telescopic butt with an adjustable cheek.

• SHF 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 related to the civilian direction this year and we hope to start testing these rifles for law enforcement agencies in the near future,” he said in an interview with TASS.

The microwave oven differs from the usual small arms primarily in its layout. The designers decided to get away from the traditional scheme with a receiver that closes with a lid. The new layout simplifies the mounting of optics, collimator sights, night and thermal imaging nozzles and other sighting systems.

BMD-4M with the Sinitsa combat module

First presented at the exhibition. Airborne combat vehicle BMD-4M developed by the Tractor Plants concern. The combat module "Sinitsa" is an improved fighting compartment of the infantry fighting vehicle - BMP-3, which has retained a powerful set of weapons as part of a 100-mm cannon - 2A70 launcher, a 30-mm automatic cannon 2A72 and a PKTM 7.62 machine gun

BMD-4M with "Tit" is designed to transport units of the Airborne Forces, conduct combat from a vehicle and provide fire support. Its total combat weight does not exceed 14.3 tons. The crew consists of three people, four paratroopers are allowed to be transported. BMD-4M can be parachuted with combat crew inside.

As Sergei Abdulov, chief designer of the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, said in an interview with TASS, the 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 the Bakhcha-U fighting compartment.

Medical armored car "Tiger"

The military-industrial company (VPK) created the medical version of the BMA Tiger armored car. This machine is 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 plan to make it based on 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 from hitting,” he said.

According to the general director, the car has become higher, it can accommodate four wounded soldiers in a horizontal position or four in a seated position, plus a driver, a doctor or paramedic and another medical worker.

Tank support combat vehicle "Terminator"

The machine was involved in demonstrations at the Alabino training ground. It became known at the forum that for the first time the Russian Ministry of Defense bought a tank support combat vehicle (BMPT) "Terminator" in the interests of the Ground Forces.

"Terminator-1" was created taking into account the military operations that were conducted back in Afghanistan. BMPT based on the T-90 tank is able to identify a hidden threat and destroy it before the main tank is hit. Crew - five people. Firepower is provided by two 30mm automatic cannons, one machine gun, two AGS-30 grenade launchers and four Ataka-T anti-tank guided missiles.

Armored personnel carrier BTR-87

First presented at the exhibition. The new armored personnel carrier, designated BTR-87, was developed by the Military Industrial Company. He received a layout with a front engine, in which the landing and landing of troops is carried out through the aft doors.

This is an initiative development work. There may be a stern exit for paratroopers with a hinged door, as shown in the sample at the exhibition, or we can make a very convenient folding ramp, again in the stern. This is the main difference between the BTR-87 and the BTR-82A, where the troops land through hatches located in the sides of the hull.

The new vehicle is equipped with the undercarriage of the BTR-82A armored personnel carrier. The BTR-87 is a four-axle all-wheel drive floating vehicle with an 8×8 wheel arrangement. The BTR-87 received a combat module, the armament of which includes a 30-mm automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun, and four anti-tank guided missiles.

According to the developers, the BTR-87 has already passed a series of tests and is now being submitted by the Ministry of Defense to open development work in the interests of the military department.

Motorcycle IZH for special forces

The presentation of a silent motorcycle designed for special forces was held as part of the forum. Alexei Krivoruchko, CEO of the Kalashnikov Concern, said that 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 production of other electric vehicles.

As previously reported, the concern has developed an electric motorcycle for the traffic police and police departments. The power reserve for charging such a machine 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.

Armored communication vehicle "Tigr-US"

First presented at the exhibition. This machine will be able to transform into a control and intelligence center, a secure communications node or a mobile data processing center.

According to Alexander Davydov, General Director of Voentelecom, the system has unprecedented characteristics and is capable of replacing up to 70% of bulky and diverse command and control vehicles and complex communications hardware, while providing much richer functionality and significantly improved performance characteristics with a multiple reduction in purchase costs. and service.

It also became known that at the level of the concept, Voentelecom considers this communication and control vehicle as an unmanned, controlled by artificial intelligence, which independently determines the route, based on the situation in the theater of operations.

Buggy "Chaborz" M-6

The new six-seat buggy "Chaborz" M-6 was presented by the training center of the special forces of Chechnya.

It is primarily designed 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.

At present, the volume of serial production is 30 machines per month. The car is universal and adapts to various military and civilian needs.

Combat module using neural network technologies

For the first time, a new combat module with the use of neural network technologies was presented in the pavilion of the Kalashnikov Concern, allowing it to recognize targets and make decisions.

A neural network is a fast 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 equipment.

"Shotgun" to combat drones

The electromagnetic "gun" "Stupor" was created by the Main Research and Testing Center for 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 copter type, used on the ground and water surface, at a line-of-sight range. In addition, it can suppress the navigation and transmission channels of drones, as well as their photo and video cameras in the optoelectronic range.

The “gun” emits electromagnetic pulses and is primarily designed to suppress the control channel of the drone, which, under the influence of radiation, loses contact 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.

AIRBORNE COMBAT VEHICLE BMD-4M2 "SINICA"

22.01.2016
COMMANDER OF THE VDV EVALUATED THE CAPABILITIES OF THE BMD-4M WITH THE BMP-3 COMBAT MODULE


At the VGTZ assembly plant - Governor of the Volgograd Region Andrey BOCHAROV, Commander of the Airborne Forces Vladimir SHAMANOV, Executive Director of the VGTZ VMK Alexander KLYUZHEV.

On January 19, 2016, Colonel General Vladimir SHAMANOV, Commander of the Airborne Forces of the Russian Federation, paid a working visit to the Volgograd site of Tractor Plants - VMK VGTZ. The purpose of the visit is to get acquainted with the progress of the implementation of the state defense order and test in operation a new version of the BMD-4M with a combat module BMP-3.
As part of the technical re-equipment of the Russian army, the airborne troops are vitally interested in the supply of BMD-4M and BTR-MDM landing vehicles, which have recently successfully passed state tests. Last year, the design documentation for these modernized landing vehicles was assigned the serial production letter.
Vladimir Shamanov inspected the Volgograd production site of Tractor Plants, where the BMD-4M is being assembled. At the Prudboy training ground, the commander of the Airborne Forces was shown the running capabilities and firepower of the new BMD-4M with a modernized fighting compartment of the BMP-3. The new model of the airborne combat vehicle is equipped with thermal and television sights, an automatic target tracking machine, as well as a panoramic observation device for the commander, developed at the Vologda Optical and Mechanical Plant. Among the advantages of the BMD-4M with the BMP-3 combat module is a high level of unification with the BMP-3, which significantly reduces the operating costs of its maintenance in the troops, increases maintainability, and also provides the possibility of training BMP and BMD crews according to a single training system.

Vladimir SHAMANOV personally assessed the capabilities of the BMD-4M with the BMP-3 combat module.

After the commander of the Airborne Forces personally conducted a test drive of the updated BMD-4M, he shared his impressions with reporters: “The vehicle is extremely easy to operate, obedient and, in terms of its characteristics, certainly surpasses similar foreign-made equipment. Among its advantages are ample opportunities for detecting and maintaining a target even in conditions of insufficient visibility, firing at low-flying targets, and high mobility.”
“It is also important to note,” Andrey BOCHAROV, Governor of the Volgograd Region, noted, “that along with high tactical and technical characteristics, this landing vehicle is completely assembled from domestic components, which significantly reduces its cost. This is also a huge plus in today's conditions, when every penny counts. I think that the decision that such a machine is needed by the Airborne Forces will be made in the near future after the prototype has passed the necessary tests.
Then Vladimir Shamanov held a working meeting at the VgTZ, where the issues of fulfilling the state defense order as part of the rearmament of the airborne troops were considered. The commander of the Airborne Forces positively assessed the progress of work on the implementation of the state defense order at the Volgograd site of Tractor Plants and expressed confidence that the new landing equipment would continue to enter the troops within the time frame specified by the contracts.
Concern Tractor Plants
