Russian Ground Forces: News #2

В разных родах войск российской армии эксплуатируется большое число артиллерийских систем калибром 30 мм. В настоящее время ведутся работы по повышению основных характеристик такого оружия – за счет применения перспективного боеприпаса. Разработан новый тип 30-мм унитарного выстрела, оснащенный снарядом с управляемым взрывателем. В скором будущем такие изделия отправятся на государственные испытания.

20 мая информагентство ТАСС процитировало заместителя генерального директора концерна «Техмаш» Александра Кочкина. Тот рассказал, что его предприятие в настоящее время выполняет новый заказ министерства обороны. Военное ведомство заказало первую опытно-промышленную партию перспективных 30-мм снарядов с управляемым подрывом.

С точки зрения общей концепции новые отечественные снаряды похожи на уже известные зарубежные образцы. Осколочный боеприпас комплектуется электронным взрывателем, способным принимать команды от приборов управления. Задача такого взрывателя состоит в подрыве снаряда в заданный момент времени – при его нахождении вблизи цели. Это позволяет усиливать осколочное воздействие на цель, а также поражать сложные цели, недоступные для «обычных» боеприпасов.

Из доступных данных следует, что российский взрыватель не является программируемым, как у зарубежных разработчиков. Снаряд получает оптический приемник для получения сигналов управляющего лазера. Взрыватель не имеет возможности самостоятельно определять дальность полета, за него это делает СУО боевой машины. При выходе снаряда в нужную точку по лазерному каналу идет команда на подрыв.

Подобный подход в разы упрощает и удешевляет конструкцию взрывателя, снаряда и выстрела в целом. Кроме того, упрощается внедрение боеприпаса в войсках. Если «традиционные» конструкции требуют существенной переработки орудия, тракта боепитания и систем управления, то комплекс от НПО «Прибор» позволяет обойтись минимальными переделками носителя.

Утверждается, что можно взять любую боевую машину с 30-мм орудием, в минимальное время установить на нее необходимые компоненты СУО и вернуть к службе.

На вооружении российской армии имеется несколько артиллерийских систем калибра 30 мм. В сухопутных войсках используются автоматические пушки 2А42 и 2А72. Авиация применяет системы семейства ГШ-30 и 2А42. На флоте используется несколько многоствольных зенитных автоматов. Все эти системы и их носители в теории могут применять перспективные управляемые боеприпасы.

В прошлом году сообщалось, что первыми новые снаряды и средства управления получат сухопутные боевые бронированные машины. В частности, на 2019 г. планировались испытания снарядов на пушках 2А42 боевой машины поддержки танков «Терминатор». Также стоит ожидать испытания с участием бронемашин разных типов – БТР-82А(М), БМП-2 и БМП-3, а также всего семейства БМД.

Работы по созданию снарядов с программируемым или управляемым взрывателем продолжаются уже несколько лет. Ведущую роль в этом направлении играет НПО «Прибор», входящее в состав «Техмаша». Первые реальные результаты были получены несколько лет назад, и за прошедшее время в «Приборе» разработали новые образцы боеприпасов.

По известным данным, первым образцом такого рода стал снаряд калибра 57 мм. Осенью 2016 г. стало известно о старте испытаний такого изделия. 57-мм боеприпас рассматривался в контексте будущего перевооружения сухопутной техники с использованием систем увеличенного калибра.

The first photo of artificial snowdrifts to mask tanks appeared



The holding "Roselectronika" published the first photo of a material of its own design to disguise military equipment as snowdrifts. The new coating absorbs electromagnetic radiation from radars by 99.5 percent and reduces the detection range by several times, since the reflected wave does not allow the enemy radar to correctly recognize a masked object.

The material is made of threads with a ferromagnetic microwire and is resistant to low temperatures.

- An experimental batch of coating has already been released, it is ready for mass production, the holding told RIA Novosti.

Mass production of anti-tank anti-roof mines has been launched in Russia


In Russia, mass production of special anti-tank mines that hit armored vehicles at the top of the tower has been organized. This is reported by "Interfax" with reference to an informed source.

According to the publication, the Russian army is already receiving special anti-tank mines designed to hit tanks in the most vulnerable part - the top of the tower. Deliveries are still being made in small batches. At the same time, the source did not specify which mines are received by the Russian military.

However, judging by the publications of the Russian media over the past years, we can talk about the PTKM-1R anti-roach mine, the development of which was reported in early 2018. At the same time, it was reported about the beginning of testing of an experimental batch of mines in the troops.

The ptkm-1R mine itself is a cylinder the size of a conventional fire extinguisher and weighing about 20 kg. After installation and activation, it opens like a flower, and the petals that hold it in an upright position are separated from the body. On a combat platoon, the mine can remain for up to 10 days at temperatures from minus 40 to plus 30 degrees, after which it will self-destruct. The range of the mine is about 100 meters, the detection range of the target is 150-250 meters. A combined sensor (seismic and thermal) is installed on the mine.

When a tank or armored vehicle is detected, the mine tilts slightly in the desired direction. When the target is in the affected area, the submunition is launched. It takes off to a height of several tens of meters, finds an armored object with a thermal imager and shoots a shock core made of red-hot metal into the roof of the tower

- told in the Ministry of defense in 2018.

Russia completes design of PTKM-1R top-attack anti tank mine

The Russian military will in the near future receive the PTKM-1R bouncing top-attack antitank mine. Sensitive electronic sensors allow the smart mine to independently track a hostile tank and hit it with a special sub-munition from the most vulnerable side - the top. Experts believe the new charges will make carpet mining unnecessary and will quickly create impenetrable minefields on armor approach routes, the Izvestia daily reported.



The Defense Ministry told the newspaper that the design of the first domestic top-attack mine PTKM-1R is nearing completion. Test samples are undergoing trials. The designers want to produce a new high-tech munition which will enhance the capabilities of engineering units in the fight against tanks and other armor.

The PTKM-1R mine is a green cylinder of the size of a fire extinguisher weighing close to 20 kg. After deployment and arming it unfolds like a flower and the petals keep the device in a vertical position. The mine is planted manually just by putting it on the ground and remains armed for ten days at a temperature from minus 40 to plus 30 degrees. After that the mine can self-destruct to prevent a threat to civilian population.

Its combined seismic and heat sensor detects a target at a distance of 150-200 meters. The mine slightly inclines towards a tank or armored vehicle. When the target enters the destruction range the sub-munition is launched. It jumps several dozen meters up, the heat seeker finds the target by the engine heat and fires into the turret roof with a red-hot metal ball.

Expert Alexey Leonkov told the daily that top-attack mines are considered by Russian designers as a global arms trend. "The protection of modern tanks is constantly upgraded, new armor is invented which make the tanks practically invulnerable in the front. Therefore, antitank designers work to hit hostile combat vehicles in the most vulnerable parts. The bouncing mines which hit the turret or engine are the latest trend," he said.

The smart mines will make engineering fortifications more effective and will simplify the work of engineers. "Such a mine controls a major section in a radius of up to 100 meters. It means there is no need of carpet mining. A small group of soldiers with two dozen mines can quickly block a major section of the frontline. Frails and ploughs are ineffective against such a minefield as hardware is destroyed at a big distance," he said.

In future the Russian smart mines can be united in a network with a single control. Sensors will transmit to the operator data on detected objects, their type, number, speed and direction. The operator will select the mines to engage for destruction and keep others in standby mode," the Izvestia writes.

Lot of drones also use GPS yo go back home. They shoukd add GPS jammers on it
