The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation received new artillery fire control systems

-

 The Signal All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of the High-Precision Complexes holding of the State Corporation Rostec, as part of the 2020 state defence order, handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defense the automated fire control systems for artillery units 1В181 and 1В198. 

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation received new artillery fire control systems

“The shipment was made in full and on time. The contract is long-term, we plan to continue working according to the delivery schedule, ”said Vladimir Pimenov, General Director of VNII Signal.

The complexes provide automated fire control and manoeuvring of an artillery battalion consisting of up to four batteries in a battalion and up to eight guns in a battery during preparation and during hostilities; they are used for self-propelled artillery installations "Msta-S", "Msta-B", multiple launch rocket systems fire "Tornado-G" and "Grad".

“The use of the systems' automation equipment allows performing firing missions with an arbitrary arrangement of guns in a given area of ​​firing positions, performing an anti-fire manoeuvre, in the shortest time hitting the target sequentially from two or more firing positions,” said Alexander Denisov, General Director of the High-Precision Complexes holding. 

The use of modern means of preparation of fire and new algorithms for solving special tasks can increase the accuracy of fire by 25-30%, and guided projectiles of a new generation destroy enemy targets and objects with a probability of 0.98-0.99. Timeliness of artillery battalion fire is ensured by reducing the time for its preparation by one and a half to two times in comparison with existing counterparts.

The most effective complexes 1В181 and 1В198 when controlling self-propelled guns and combat vehicles MLRS equipped with automated control and guidance systems. In this case, an uninterrupted process of fire control is ensured from the moment the target is detected to the guidance of all the guns and combat vehicles of the MLRS in automatic mode.

"AGAVA" - "AGAVA-2" and its confusing history

When covering Soviet sight technology there are always some interesting designs and approaches to solving an issue. It is a common fact that the Soviet Union in the 1980s-1990s was quite behind in thermal sight technology. Only in the 1990s, but to be specific in 1992, the Soviet Union now Russia started to field small batches of thermal sights on their tanks, primarily T-80Us and some of the early T-90 variants, which just recently entered service. Russia's journey through creating its own domestic thermal sight traces back to 1982.  The 1980s were quite an important time for the 'Krasnogorsk Factory named after S.A Zverev', which is still to date an Optical Engineering and Optoelectronics factory. The factory is primarily known for making domestic Soviet cameras back in the day. However, that's not the only thing that the factory has produced back then.  Close to the mid-1980s, the facility was contracted to develop new thermal sight technology for the Soviet Ministry

The world's first mass-produced tank gas turbine engine GTD-1000T was created at the Klimov Plant in 1968 for the T-80 main battle tank developed By the special tank design Bureau of the Kirov plant (now JSC "Spetsmash"), which was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1976. Since 1980, a modification of the GTD‑1000TF for T-80B/BV tanks was produced, since 1986 a modification of the GTD-1250 for T-80U tanks.  GTD-1250 Engines of the GTD-1250 family as part of the power plants of T-80 tanks are in service with the armies of Russia, Belarus, Cyprus, South Korea, Kazakhstan. Turbine engine GTD-1000T/GTD-1250, which have a large volume-weight  capacity and a more favourable traction characteristic compared to diesel engines, provide T-80 tanks with interesting characteristics: - higher operational readiness - easy start-up at low temperatures (up to -40°C) - better cross-country ability on soils with a low load-bearing capacity - best noise and heat-masking qualities - increased &qu

A new sight for the modernized T-90

  Back in 2018, a new programme was started. This programme's focus is to create domestic equipment for Russian armoured vehicles, specifically optics. This is so that the Russian army can stop depending on the french company "Thales" and their Catherine technology. T-72B3 received new internal components for the Sosna-U sight, phasing out any foreign components. As for the T-90M/T-90MS, something else was done. Previously, the T-90M/T-90MS employed the Sosna-U sight, which featured french components from Thales. However, the internals of the sight was not simply replaced. This time, a completely new domestic sight was created under the name PNM-T. The sight was reportedly made by the PJSC ANPP TEMP-AVIA in 2018 or 2019. The first appearance was in the Telekanal Zvezda show, during the episode about the Proryv-3 (T-90M). In this episode, a new plaque can be seen with the name of the sight. Its first public physical appearance, however, was at the Army-2019 event. The doo
