Works of OAO "Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering". Kurgan plant showed a prototype bmd with a combat module "tit" Dangerous for bmpt tanks
It promises to be one of the most spectacular military events of this year. More than 1,200 enterprises and organizations participate in it, which presented more than 18.5 thousand developments and technologies in the field of defense and security.
In total, the forum includes 78 foreign defense enterprises from 14 countries. National expositions were organized by Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Pakistan, Slovakia and South Africa.
The demonstration program, which unfolded on the territory of three clusters, involved more than 190 weapons, military and special equipment. Aviation is represented at the airfield in Kubinka, ground equipment - at the Alabino training ground. Here, on Lake Komsomolskoye, there is a water cluster, where one of the main novelties is underwater robots. Small arms are displayed in the area of the Multifunctional Fire Center.
Many weapons exhibits were shown to the general public for the first time.
SHF sniper rifle
The latest development for high-precision shooting. The Chukavin semi-automatic sniper rifle (SHF) is available in two calibers - 7.62×54 mm and 7.62×51 mm (the latter is also known as .308 Win, very popular in the world market). At the same time, in caliber 7.62 × 54 mm, it is compatible with magazines from SVD. In the basic configuration, the microwave is equipped with a telescopic butt with an adjustable cheek.
- SHF rifle
According to the general director of the Kalashnikov concern (part of Rostec) Alexei Krivoruchko, this development has a very great future, the Ministry of Defense and the Russian Guard, as well as export partners, are interested. There are great prospects in the civilian market. “We are already conducting part of the tests related to the civilian direction this year and we hope to start testing these rifles for law enforcement agencies in the near future,” he said in an interview with TASS.
The microwave oven differs from the usual small arms primarily in its layout. The designers decided to get away from the traditional scheme with a receiver that closes with a lid. The new layout simplifies the mounting of optics, collimator sights, night and thermal imaging nozzles and other sighting systems.
BMD-4M with the Sinitsa combat module
First presented at the exhibition. Airborne combat vehicle BMD-4M developed by the Tractor Plants concern. The combat module "Sinitsa" is an improved fighting compartment of the infantry fighting vehicle - BMP-3, which has retained a powerful set of weapons as part of a 100-mm cannon - 2A70 launcher, a 30-mm automatic cannon 2A72 and a PKTM 7.62 machine gun
BMD-4M with the "Tit" is designed to transport units of the Airborne Forces, conduct combat from a vehicle and provide fire support. Its total combat weight does not exceed 14.3 tons. The crew consists of three people, four paratroopers are allowed to be transported. BMD-4M can be parachuted with combat crew inside.
As Sergei Abdulov, chief designer of the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, said in an interview with TASS, the Sinitsa was created from scratch - the terms of reference of the Ministry of Defense were issued for it, and now the product is undergoing preliminary tests.
The previously developed version of the BMD-4M was equipped with the Bakhcha-U fighting compartment.
Medical armored car "Tiger"
The military-industrial company (VPK) created the medical version of the BMA Tiger armored car. This machine is made on an initiative basis.
As the general director of the company Alexander Krasovitsky said in an interview with TASS at the forum, this car can be both armored and unarmored. “We plan to make it based on the VPK-233136 Tiger — this is the fifth protection class, which keeps a bullet with a heat-strengthened core from a 7.62 mm Kalashnikov assault rifle from hitting,” he said.
According to the general director, the car has become higher, it can accommodate four wounded soldiers in a horizontal position or four in a seated position, plus a driver, a doctor or paramedic and another medical worker.
Tank support combat vehicle "Terminator"
The machine was involved in demonstrations at the Alabino training ground. It became known at the forum that for the first time the Russian Ministry of Defense bought a tank support combat vehicle (BMPT) "Terminator" in the interests of the Ground Forces.
"Terminator-1" was created taking into account the military operations that were conducted back in Afghanistan. BMPT based on the T-90 tank is able to identify a hidden threat and destroy it before the main tank is hit. Crew - five people. Firepower is provided by two 30mm automatic cannons, one machine gun, two AGS-30 grenade launchers and four Ataka-T anti-tank guided missiles.
Armored personnel carrier BTR-87
First presented at the exhibition. The new armored personnel carrier, designated BTR-87, was developed by the Military Industrial Company. He received a layout with a front engine, in which the landing and landing of troops is carried out through the aft doors.
This is an initiative development work. There may be a stern exit for paratroopers with a hinged door, as shown in the sample at the exhibition, or we can make a very convenient folding ramp, again in the stern. This is the main difference between the BTR-87 and the BTR-82A, where the troops land through hatches located in the sides of the hull.
The new vehicle is equipped with the undercarriage of the BTR-82A armored personnel carrier. The BTR-87 is a four-axle all-wheel drive floating vehicle with an 8×8 wheel arrangement. The BTR-87 received a combat module, the armament of which includes a 30-mm automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun, and four anti-tank guided missiles.
According to the developers, the BTR-87 has already passed a number of tests and is now being submitted by the Ministry of Defense to open development work in the interests of the military department.
Motorcycle IZH for special forces
The presentation of a silent motorcycle designed for special forces was held as part of the forum. Alexei Krivoruchko, CEO of the Kalashnikov Concern, said that the Russian military department is already testing electric motorcycles.
According to the head of the company, the range of motorcycles produced by the concern will be very wide. “We will make different models, different classes, but the emphasis will be on electric motorcycles,” he explained. The plans include the production of other electric vehicles.
As previously reported, the concern has developed an electric motorcycle for the traffic police and police departments. The power reserve for charging such a machine is 150 km. The maximum power is 15 kW. The first samples will be handed over to the Metropolitan Police at the end of August.
Armored communication vehicle "Tigr-US"
First presented at the exhibition. This machine will be able to transform into a control and intelligence center, a secure communications node or a mobile data processing center.
According to Alexander Davydov, General Director of Voentelecom, the system has unprecedented characteristics and is capable of replacing up to 70% of bulky and diverse command and control vehicles and complex communications hardware, while providing much richer functionality and significantly improved performance characteristics with a multiple reduction in purchase costs. and service.
It also became known that at the level of the concept, Voentelecom considers this communication and control vehicle as an unmanned, controlled by artificial intelligence, which independently determines the route, based on the situation in the theater of operations.
Buggy "Chaborz" M-6
The new six-seat buggy "Chaborz" M-6 was presented by the training center of the special forces of Chechnya.
It is primarily designed for military needs and has ample opportunities for the transportation of goods and the installation of additional equipment. Serial production of all-terrain vehicles at the Chechenavto plant will begin after the presentation at the Army-2017 forum.
At present, the volume of serial production is 30 machines per month. The car is universal and adapts to various military and civilian needs.
Combat module using neural network technologies
For the first time, a new combat module with the use of neural network technologies was presented in the pavilion of the Kalashnikov Concern, allowing it to recognize targets and make decisions.
A neural network is a fast learning system that is able to act not only in accordance with a given algorithm, but also on the basis of previously used experience. It also became known that this combat module could go into production in 2018. It can be installed on any equipment.
"Shotgun" to combat drones
The electromagnetic "gun" "Stupor" was created by the Main Research and Testing Center for Robotics of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to suppress unmanned aerial vehicles.
As reported in the booklet of the complex, "Stupor" is designed to suppress drones, including copter type, used on the ground and water surface, at a line-of-sight range. In addition, it can suppress the navigation and transmission channels of drones, as well as their photo and video cameras in the optoelectronic range.
The “gun” emits electromagnetic pulses and is primarily designed to suppress the control channel of the drone, which, under the influence of radiation, loses contact with the operator, which leads to uncontrolled flight and a fall.
"Stupor" operates at a distance of 2 km in a 20-degree sector. It can be charged both from the mains and from a car battery.
With the chief designer of JSC "Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering" (Kurgan) Sergey Abdulov.
The tracked armored personnel carrier MT-LB, developed by the design bureau of the Kharkov Tractor Plant, is already outdated and needs to be replaced. It will be replaced by the newest machine BT-3F, which is being developed under the code "Bronya". Sergey Abdulov, chief designer of the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, in an interview with TASS on the sidelines of the Army-2017 International Military-Technical Forum, spoke about what the new armored personnel carrier for the Russian army will be like, how the Kurganets-25 is being tested, and what will change in the modernized BMP- 3.
The prototype of the BT-3F armored personnel carrier developed by the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (Kurgan) at the Army-2017 International Military-Technical Forum Aleksey Panshin / TASS
— Let's start with BT-3F, this is a new project, so tell us more about it.
- The main direction of application of the new machine is the replacement of MT-LB and MT-LBU. BT-3F is a more advanced and more protected armored personnel carrier. Initially, the question of creating such a machine was raised by a foreign customer to replace the BTR-50s in service.
Nevertheless, one must understand that in our country there are also potential customers for this machine. For example, there are a number of enterprises that want to create various types of weapons based on the BT-3F - in particular, communications and control equipment, command and staff vehicles, and so on.
What is the status of this car? Is ROC open?
- We are carrying out full-fledged development work commissioned by the Ministry of Defense under the code "Bronya".
- It is known that Indonesia wants to buy a similar armored personnel carrier, are you negotiating with them?
“Negotiations are in full swing. By the way, cooperation with this country has been carried out for a long time. So, for example, our Indonesian partners have been using BMP-3F of our production for several years and are very satisfied.
Representatives of SKBM and Kurganmashzavod went to the customer's territory, where they presented this car. It is worth noting that we are not the only players in this market - there is competition, as the Indonesians are also considering cars made in other countries. But our armored personnel carrier has certain advantages over its competitors. This is due to the fact that our machines are subjected to more stringent factory tests.
- Considering that the R&D is in the interests of the military, when is it planned to complete the preliminary tests of the BT-3F?
- Factory tests are planned to be completed next year.
- The combat module "Tit" that you installed on the BMD-4M is the one from which Vladimir Anatolyevich Shamanov fired at one time?
- Not certainly in that way. He fired from a prototype, which was made, one might say, "on the knee." "Tit" was created from scratch - the terms of reference of the Ministry of Defense were issued for it, the product is now undergoing preliminary tests.
- What are the main differences from the Bakhcha-U module, which is currently installed on the BMD-4M?
- The main difference is, of course, unification with the BMP-3. The power unit and chassis of the vehicle have been unified, now we are unifying the fighting compartment. In addition, our module is cheaper than "Bakhchi" and has the ability to fire at air targets through the commander's sight.
- Are there any further plans to modernize the BMP-3?
- We do not separate these products, since the further direction of unification simultaneously determines the direction of modernization. Roughly speaking, having installed the commander's panoramic sight on the Sinitsa, we automatically plan to install it on the BMP-3 as well.
Foreign customers are interested in such modernization, primarily the UAE, which evaluated this possibility of modernization, and this will be useful for our army.
- What kind of tests is subjected to "Kurganets-25"?
“As you know, we are currently conducting preliminary tests. The fact is that the machine is new, so each node and element requires its own type of testing. Sea trials are underway, the next stage is firing, then special types of tests.
- What is it?
- These are tests that determine the security of the product.
- So they will shoot at her?
- Mandatory.
— What is the range of vehicles on the Kurganets-25 platform?
- In the future, it is planned to install on this platform all types of weapons that are suitable for carrying capacity and type, as well as in accordance with the wishes of the customer. This will be a large line, so it is difficult to limit yourself to a specific list.
The idea of the Ministry of Defense is to make unified platforms of all classes. If we talk about wheeled ones, then this is the Boomerang, if we talk about light and medium tracked ones - the Kurganets, and if we talk about heavy ones, then this is the Armata.
- What other ROCs do you conduct?
- In principle, these are the vehicles that we talked about, plus work is also underway to improve the BMP-3 - in particular, the Ataka guided weapon system is being installed on it. In addition, work is underway to improve the security of this machine.

COMMANDER OF THE VDV EVALUATED THE CAPABILITIES OF THE BMD-4M WITH THE BMP-3 COMBAT MODULE 
At the VGTZ assembly plant - Governor of the Volgograd Region Andrey BOCHAROV, Commander of the Airborne Forces Vladimir SHAMANOV, Executive Director of the VGTZ VMK Alexander KLYUZHEV.
On January 19, 2016, Colonel General Vladimir SHAMANOV, Commander of the Airborne Forces of the Russian Federation, paid a working visit to the Volgograd site of the Tractor Plants - VMK VgTZ. The purpose of the visit is to get acquainted with the progress of the implementation of the state defense order and test in operation a new version of the BMD-4M with a combat module BMP-3.
As part of the technical re-equipment of the Russian army, the airborne troops are vitally interested in the supply of BMD-4M and BTR-MDM landing vehicles, which have recently successfully passed state tests. Last year, the design documentation for these modernized landing vehicles was assigned the serial production letter.
Vladimir Shamanov inspected the Volgograd production site of Tractor Plants, where the BMD-4M is being assembled. At the Prudboy training ground, the commander of the Airborne Forces was shown the running capabilities and firepower of the new BMD-4M with a modernized fighting compartment of the BMP-3. The new model of the airborne combat vehicle is equipped with thermal and television sights, an automatic target tracking machine, as well as a panoramic observation device for the commander, developed at the Vologda Optical and Mechanical Plant. Among the advantages of the BMD-4M with the BMP-3 combat module is a high level of unification with the BMP-3, which significantly reduces the operating costs of its maintenance in the troops, increases maintainability, and also provides the possibility of training BMP and BMD crews according to a single training system.
Vladimir SHAMANOV personally assessed the capabilities of the BMD-4M with the BMP-3 combat module.
After the commander of the Airborne Forces personally conducted a test drive of the updated BMD-4M, he shared his impressions with reporters: “The vehicle is extremely easy to operate, obedient and, in terms of its characteristics, certainly surpasses similar foreign-made equipment. Among its advantages are ample opportunities for detecting and maintaining a target even in conditions of insufficient visibility, firing at low-flying targets, and high mobility.”
“It is also important to note,” Andrey BOCHAROV, Governor of the Volgograd Region, noted, “that along with high tactical and technical characteristics, this landing vehicle is completely assembled from domestic components, which significantly reduces its cost. This is also a huge plus in today's conditions, when every penny counts. I think that the decision that such a machine is needed by the Airborne Forces will be made in the near future after the prototype has passed the necessary tests.
Then Vladimir Shamanov held a working meeting at the VgTZ, where the issues of fulfilling the state defense order as part of the rearmament of the airborne troops were considered. The commander of the Airborne Forces positively assessed the progress of work on the implementation of the state defense order at the Volgograd site of Tractor Plants and expressed confidence that the new landing equipment would continue to enter the troops within the time frame specified by the contracts.

Today I sent the last batch of 25 multi-purpose armored personnel carriers to the Airborne Forces as part of the state defense order, completing a three-year contract with the Ministry of Defense four months earlier. And at the same time he demonstrated new items - with the combat module "Titmouse" and others.
"The plant has put a lot of effort into the creation of armored personnel carriers, starting with the design, construction, production adjustment, and then the completion of the contract. The contract allows the Ministry of Defense to equip units of the Airborne Forces with vehicles that did not exist before. These are new combat capabilities," says the first Alexey Losev, Deputy Executive Director of the plant.
Recall that the first batch of airborne combat vehicles was shipped on March 3, 2015. "Shell", as the armored personnel carrier BTR-MDM is also called, is designed to transport personnel, spare parts, ammunition, fuel and lubricants. It has a modern weapon system. With this technique, paratrooper units during the battle can destroy the enemy without entering the zone of direct fire damage. The machine is adapted for landing from a military transport aircraft together with the crew, it can move on water and on land.
According to Nikolai Grekhov, Deputy Chief Designer for Serial Production of the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, the new equipment differs from the previous class of Airborne Forces vehicles with an increased power engine.
“The most important thing is that it is unified with the BMP-3. This is a great advantage in the repair, operation of vehicles,” said a representative of the design bureau. “That is, they run on the same oils, on the same fuel. There are a number of other advantages. mobility."
The customers were satisfied with the work of the Kurgan craftsmen.
"The three-year contract has been successfully completed, but our cooperation with Kurganmashzavod does not end there," said Evgeny Sutormin, head of the military representation. "The next contract is already in the Ministry of Defense and will be signed in the near future."
On the same day, journalists were shown prototypes based on the BMP-3, which is designed to transport units of the marines and fire support for dismounted troops, the BMP-3M Dragoon infantry fighting vehicle, as well as the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle with the Sinitsa combat module ".
The first two vehicles - BT-3F and "Dragoon" - have already visited the army exhibition last year, but "Titmouse" has not yet been shown to the general public. It is still only prepared for preliminary tests.
“The Tit is fundamentally different from previous models in that it has a panoramic sight with a thermal imaging channel, thanks to which the crew commander will be able to see further at night, identify the enemy earlier and give target designation to the gunner,” explained Alexei Kozlov, First Deputy Chief Designer. , overcomes water obstacles without training afloat at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.Can work from water with all types of weapons.
By the way, this year 18 Kurgan vehicles will take part in the military parade in Moscow, including Kurganets, BMP-3, BMD-4M and Rakushka.
