Russian Military Photos and Videos #3

Mike E wrote:Are the thermal images from Armata? If so; how'd you get them, and HOLY CRAP is that a step up from the Catherines.

Actually they might be from a rifle? Not sure.

Great pictures.

Either way it shows significant progress. Given the battery indicator I'd say it's an independent attachment.

Here are some more images from video on their website.







The top is at 34 degrees Celsius clear weather.

The middle is at a fog and 17 degrees

The bottom is at a haze an 16 degrees.

Wasn't that the Autosniper Fire Control Sight System Scope?

The one that calculates trajectory to the target and provides a reticle were to aim?

I think so, it is marketed as being "robotic".

And it better be at 2.72 million Rubles.

That one precisely, if you visit the link posted, there you can find 4 videos seeing the scope in action.

Here is a explanation for the different markers and indicators.



Here are some of my screenshots.

Would you happen to know if it uses a Russian thermal detector?

I heard something about French/American technology in it at Otvaga.

I am not in the Russian Federation right now, so I cannot call and ask, and right now I do not feel like creating an account on guns.ru.

Tomorrow I will ask around though.

Before that, stay tuned for my Shwabe Thermal Imager special report.

Great thread, personally I would like for George1 to merge this thread with the Russian military photos thread, as all these posts are very relevant for that thread. Good job BTW!

Thanks, I put lots of effort into the thread title. Glad you appreciate it.

Good titles on threads are the bread, butter, peanut butter, and jelly of any forum. Long huge threads with obscure titles are barriers to knowledge.

"The company is a full cycle of development and maintenance of products, ranging from scientific research and experimental research, production, and ending with the release of serial production, the design of objects, installation and maintenance of equipment at customer sites." - From the company website.


No clue what this means, but its what I got for now. Maybe means they are all inhouse...they do use Linux in their sights.

Russia has production of a lot of thermal type technology. Everything from the Matrix itself (as being seen in the optic system on lets say the Armata) to other additional sensors as seen from Elvees manufacturer.

At this point though, which one is cheaper to get and develop? Depends on the items. I have seen Russia use optics that use Sony type sensors and processor as example.

Ok everyone, here is my Schwabe Special!

First off, we have some thermal imagers created by them.









Next up we have some dry PDFs that I do not feel like translating, but are there in case anyone likes Yandex or Google translate.







First Post out of several.
