Seven leading defense industry enterprises will take part in the Army-2020 forum in Yekaterinburg

EKATERINBURG, August 18. / TASS /. Seven leading enterprises of the military-industrial complex have confirmed their participation in the program of the International military-technical forum "Army-2020" in Yekaterinburg, the acting deputy commander of the district troops for military-political work, Colonel Andrey, said at a press conference in the Ural regional information center TASS Sobolev.

"Seven enterprises have confirmed their presence, in the dynamic display we will present robotics from Chelyabinsk, they will show their machines, which will later be offered by the Ministry of Defense for implementation in the armed forces to work with special units, intelligence units. The rest of the enterprises will participate in the static display. Design Bureau" The innovator ", for example, will participate," he said.

As the press service of the Central Military District specified, representatives of the 144 BTRZ OJSC, the Vector and Uraltransmash plants, the Chelyabinsk enterprises NPO Elektromashina and SKB Turbina will also arrive at the Army-2020 forum in Yekaterinburg.

Within the framework of the forum, representatives of the defense industry enterprises, the district command and military experts will take part in a round table on the topic "The use of modern modernized weapons and military equipment in the Central Military District, the specifics of equipping with weapons based on the experience of local wars and armed conflicts."

The military-technical forum "Army-2020" will be held in an expanded format in 17 cities and seven settlements on the territory of nine constituent entities of the Russian Federation - from Buryatia to Chukotka, at 36 thematic sites. For the first time, events are planned in Anadyr and on the Kuril Islands.

In Yekaterinburg, the forum events will be held on the territory of the Sverdlovsky training ground from 27 to 29 August. Within the framework of the forum, a scientific and business program will be held, an exhibition of modern and historical military equipment, as well as weapons samples.

Tank T-90M became one of the main exhibits of "Army-2020"

It is believed that these particular combat vehicles, along with the T-14 on the heavy unified Armata platform, will become the basis of Russian tank forces in the foreseeable future.

This version of the "ninetieth" is a development of the T-90MS intended for export, which is also demonstrated at the forum in the exposition of the Scientific and Production Corporation "Uralvagonzavod" (part of the Concern UVZ is part of the State Corporation Rostec).

These tanks have a lot in common, but one of them is adapted to the requirements of the Russian ground forces. It is also equipped with a new generation of reactive armor. 1 130-horsepower V-92S2F engine makes it possible to develop up to 70 km / h on the highway. The power reserve is 550 km.

A modern fire control system, which includes the main sight of the gunner-operator with a thermal imaging channel, a double sight, a panorama of the commander, makes it possible to effectively use a modified 125-mm smooth-bore cannon and a coaxial machine gun.

The remote-controlled 12.7-mm "Kord" is also used to combat air and ground targets.

Are there wheels for the Strategic Missile Forces

Work in the USSR and the Russian Federation to improve mobile ground-based missile systems (PGRK) has never been interrupted. A new impetus was given to them two years ago, when they decided to refuse supplies of Belarusian tractors. As a result, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation opened another research work (R&D), which received its own code. The main executor of this research work is MIT Corporation JSC (the developer of all domestic PGRKs put into service). She also leads the development of the concept of creating chassis, tractors for mobile complexes. The Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant was not involved in the case - all co-executors were only Russian.

Today, in the Russian Federation, two factory teams are engaged in the development of military SKShT: Bryansk Automobile Plant ("BAZ") and PJSC "KAMAZ" together with JSC "Remdizel" (Naberezhnye Chelny).

The results are known: samples of KAMAZ chassis were accepted for supply to the RF Armed Forces, but they were not in demand due to the prohibitive cost, the use of imported auto components, extremely low reliability, and failure to meet a number of technical requirements. A lot of money wasted. If we calculate the amounts for all the agreements and contracts concluded by the "smut" with government customers as part of the work on the R&D complex "Platform", the amount will be much more than 10 billion rubles. I think it makes sense for the Accounts Chamber experts to do the calculations. It is noteworthy that the "Platform" at the "KAMAZ" was led by retired Colonel General Vladislav Polonsky, chief of the GABTU in 2004-200

A gantruck was made from the armored car "Tiger"

A new version of the Russian armored car "Tiger" - a machine-gun pickup or a gantruck, will be presented at the Army-2020 forum. The vehicle is based on an open version of the armored car - it will also be shown on the forum.

A powerful frame protects the riders from overturning, half a dozen canisters at the back hint that the "Tiger" will have to act far from the base. On the right side there are two brackets for machine guns.

Depending on the purpose "Tiger" can be equipped with diesel engines with a capacity of 215 to 300 horsepower, mechanical or automatic transmission, and other options.

Russia has equipped the first international level ground for extreme driving of RCB reconnaissance vehicles

TSAMTO, August 19. On the border of the Kostroma and Yaroslavl regions, the first Russian training ground of the international level for extreme driving of RCB reconnaissance vehicles RHM-4 (based on the BTR-80 armored personnel carrier) and practical shooting for a while with a change of firing position from small arms was equipped.

It acquired the status of an international training center for the Military Academy of NBC Defense in 2015 in connection with the Safe Environment competition and was subsequently equipped annually. At present, the unique Volga proving ground is equipped with a fire-assault strip with a cable car, trenches, areas for special processing, sampling, radiation monitoring of equipment, chemical control and practical shooting. Now it allows you to train chemical reconnaissance units using the latest techniques. At the Pesochnoe training ground, cadets from 28 countries, including Asia, Africa, and South America, are trained and improve their skills.

On a three-kilometer route, it is possible to work out complex standards that provide for the implementation of the most complex elements of chemical reconnaissance. The tracks include both classic obstacles (a model of a track bridge, a track passage in a minefield, a zone with size limiters), and long sections with a complex integrated complex of artificial obstacles for extreme driving. At the test site, RCB intelligence specialists using standard equipment will be able to overcome the water obstacle.

Before the creation of such a training ground near Kostroma, in order to fulfill all the standards stipulated by an international competition, it was necessary to use two training grounds and one combined-arms shooting range.

It was the Russian test site Pesochnoe, located on the border of the Kostroma and Yaroslavl regions, that became the prototype of the first Chinese test site for extreme driving of radiation, chemical and biological (RCB) reconnaissance vehicles, according to the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Russian Defense Ministry.
