Russian product showcase during IDEX-2021

-


At the largest International military-Technical salon IDEX 2021, which will be held in Abu Dhabi from February 21 to 25, Russia will present the latest models of weapons that have recently received an export permit.

For the first time in this region, an infantry fighting vehicle based on a unified wheeled platform "Boomerang" will be presented. As well as the long-range anti-aircraft missile system "Antey-4000" and the latest medium-range anti-aircraft missile system "Viking".

"Viking " an export version of the "Buk-M3" complex, recently entered service with the Russian Army. Compared to the well-known Buk-M2 complex, its firing range increased by one and a half times, reaching 65 kilometres. In addition, the number of simultaneously fired at targets increased by one and a half times - 6 for each self-propelled gun and the number of anti-aircraft guided missiles ready to launch in a firing position of two combat units increased from 8 to 18.

"Viking" was developed and created taking into account the trends of the world market. Its technical features make it possible to adapt the complex as much as possible to the priorities of Rosoboronexport's foreign customers. Experts note that this complex has received a number of unique features that were not previously available in any air defence system. For example, the combat control point of the Viking has the ability to interface not only with a standard radar station but also with other radars, including those not made in Russia. In addition, the SAM provides for the possibility of autonomous use of fire units and even individual self-propelled fire installations, which increases the total area defended and the number of covered objects, and also minimizes the cost of organizing an air defence system.

For the first time, a public presentation of the T-14 Armata tank will be held abroad. However, it will be presented in the form of a mockup, as well as in a multimedia format.

A lot of new products will be shown in the small arms segment. In addition to the first foreign displaying AK-19 will be a presentation Kovrov machine gun "KORD", which on a number of parameters exceeds the famous AK series.

Now there are two versions of the "Kord" - A-545 and A-762. Respectively, the calibre of 5.45 mm and 7.62 mm.

An interesting exposition from the designer Vladislav Lobaev. And the names are sonorous - DVL-10M1 "Saboteur", TSVL-8 "Stalingrad", DXL-3 "Retribution" and DXL-4 "Sevastopol".

At the Rosoboronexport stand, models of the Su-35 multi-purpose super-manoeuvrable fighter and the Mi-38T transport and landing helicopter will be presented, which can significantly increase the combat potential of the aviation group of any country in the Middle East and North Africa. In the form of models, the S-400 Triumph and Tor-M2KM air defence systems, popular in the Middle East market, as well as the "Kupol-PRO" anti-drone systems, will be displayed.

In the naval part of the exhibition, the Ak Bars Shipbuilding Corporation will present models of the patrol ship project 22160 and the small missile ship project 22800E Karakurt-E.

It is stated that during IDEX 2021, Rosoboronexport will hold meetings and negotiations with representatives of the military-political leadership and the business community of the Middle East and North Africa.

Sergey Chemezov, General Director of Rostec State Corporation, which includes most of the domestic participants of the exhibition in Abu Dhabi, said:

"The Middle East and North Africa are among the key customers in the arms market today. The region accounts for about 1/3 of the total market volume. Weapons with the brand "Made in Russia" are well known here and are in high demand. It has proven itself to be the best in difficult climatic conditions - at sea, on land and in the air. Given all of the above, the region is very important for us. By the end of 2020, the countries of the region accounted for more than 50 % of all exports through Rosoboronexport. In 2021, these positive trends will continue."

"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
