    Ukrainian Ground Forces: Empty Ukraine adopts new anti-tank missile system

    Ukraine adopts new anti-tank missile system


    The Ukrainian military has adopted a new indigenous anti-tank missile system also capable of destroying low-altitude, slow-moving aerial targets, the Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

    Stugna-P has been developed by Kiev-based Luch design bureau to compete with foreign models of the same class.

    The laser-guided system has a range of 4,000 meters and can penetrate armor up to 800 millimeters thickness.

    The system is capable of destroying armored vehicles, small fortifications and even helicopters hovering at low altitudes, the ministry said.

    The Ukrainian military has ordered at least ten Stugna-P systems so far, according to other sources.

    KIEV, April 20 (RIA Novosti)

    So in performance terms it is Konkurs regarding range, Kornet regarding guidance system, and ATAKA in terms of armour penetration.

    Quite a mix.

    Looks like a large missile and the boxes seem quite big too... the yellow sticker next to the bottom optic window suggests that is the laser, so I would guess the upper window is the optics for tracking the target... the shiny lens suggests it might be a thermal sight but its narrow aperture suggests it isn't.

    BTW, it's based on the recently abandoned domestic Sapsan (Falcon) missile

    Which raises another aspect of the INF treaty issue neither the Ukraine nor China are bound by it, so the Ukraine could make China some 2,000km range cruise missile or ballistic missiles... based on a small truck.

    Ukrainian Ground Forces: Empty Russian military experts named Ukrainian Oplot tank the best in the world

    Post  Book. Fri May 15, 2015 4:27 am

    Ukrainian Oplot tank was named the best among major armored vehicles of the world.
    As reported by Censor.NET, Russian military experts modeled a virtual tank range and placed 12 major tank models of the world on it. The computer system ranked a Pakistani tank the worst, and named the Ukrainian Oplot tank made in Kharkiv the safest for a crew and most dangerous in a headlong collision.

    The MCTR is to prevent the spread of sophisticated modern missile technology from spreading... China already has missile technology that exceeds 300km in range and 500kgs in payload so it would not apply.

    Your comment above was about Ukraine sending 2,000km range missiles to China, which cannot be done with MTCR in play.

    Two main aspects to consider.... first it could be claimed that China already has missiles capable of 2,000km range and over 500kgs payload so the MCTR provisions don't make much sense in this case.... and second the Ukraine is now Americas bitch so it can do no wrong...

    Russia could complain but the sale of missiles from the Ukraine to China is a wonderful development that will improve the security and stability in the region. If it was a Russia system of course it would be a worrisome development that would threaten stability and security in the region...

    Whether China has 2000km+ range missiles or not doesn't matter, you purposed above that Ukraine could export such missiles to China since they’re not bound to INF, i simply stated that MTCR is still in play, so that isn't gonna happen.

    Second, it is also because they're Uncle Sams b#tch tha that wont happen.

    And what I am saying is that the MTCR is about limiting the spread of missile technology to countries that don't already possess it... the horse has already bolted in this case so MTCR does not apply.

    For the same reason the US can sell pretty much anything to the UK.

    The MTCR Guidelines restrict transfers of "missiles" -- defined as rocket systems (including ballistic missiles, space launch vehicles, and sounding rockets) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems (including cruise missiles, target drones, and reconnaissance drones) capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction (WMD) -- and their related equipment and technology. The Regime places particular focus on unmanned delivery systems capable of delivering a payload of at least 500 kg to a distance of at least 300 km, so called "Category I" or "MTCR-class" systems.

    The MTCR Annex of controlled items is divided into two sections:

    Category I Annex items include complete rocket and unmanned air vehicle (i.e., "missile") systems, capable of delivering a payload of at least 500 kg to a range of at least 300 km, and their major complete subsystems, production facilities, and related technology. Exports of Category I items are subject to a strong presumption of denial, except that transfers of specially designed production facilities for Category I items are expressly prohibited.

    Category II Annex items include propulsion and propellant components, launch and ground support equipment, various other missile-related components, and related technology, as well as certain other missile systems. Exports of Category II items are subject to case-by-case review against specified nonproliferation factors, and are subject to a strong presumption of denial if the system is intended for WMD delivery.

    MTCR export controls are not bans but regulatory efforts by individual Partners to prevent transfers of items that could contribute to delivery systems for WMD. Licensing such exports is consistent with the MTCR’s goal of curbing the flow of missile equipment and technology worldwide.

    The MTCR Guidelines are open to all nations to implement, whether or not they are MTCR Partners. The United States encourages all governments to unilaterally adhere to the Guidelines.

    http://www.state.gov/t/isn/rls/fs/120017.htm

    Where is this written?

    Or is this "the exeptionalist" BS again.

    US Government also encourages all governments to impose sanctions on Russia... and to buy US made... and to say no to drugs... except the over priced legal drugs they sell.

    So a side-effect of "the exeptionalist" BS??

    Anyway, i don't see anywhere that clarifies this issue, all i know is that the MTCR forbids the export of missile weaponry of over 300km to a third-party, whether that third-party already having such weaponry annuls the MTCR is a good question?

    The purpose of the agreement is to prevent the spread of technology that could be used to develop a deployment system for WMDs.

    In other words the big powers don't want the little boys to get handguns because they wont be able to bully them any more. (US perspective). For the Russian perspective, they don't want little boys to have dangerous weapons... they could hurt themselves or others.

    It is all a bit silly really because at the end of the day any country could buy a Boeing 747 and fill it with an enormous amount of HE and then get a dedicated crew that are happy to die for the cause and fly it into an enemies airspace disguised as a cargo flight delivering whatever cargo they might be carrying... plan the flight plan to go past the target and when near the target roll the plane over into a vertical dive onto the target and boom. Not enough warning to get interceptors near and even if you hit it with a SAM the plane might break up a little but it is still going to go boom.
