New types of weapons for the Russian armed forces. Individual project on the topic "Types of weapons of the Russian Federation"

In conditions of strained relations with the United States, its allies and satellites, only the latest weapons of Russia become a guarantee of the country's security and the preservation of its state sovereignty. Let's talk about the newest samples nuclear missiles, tank, armor-piercing, small arms of the Russian army.

New types of nuclear weapons

Modernization of the Strategic Missile Forces - the most important task Russian leadership in the defense sphere, especially given the aging of Soviet nuclear weapons, the near end of their service life, the need to replace components previously supplied from Ukraine, where a coup d'etat took place in February 2014 and American puppets seized power.

The task is successfully solved. What kind of missiles newest generation designed to replace the old ones?

RS-24 "Yars"

The RS-24 is a three-stage solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that entered service instead of the RS-18 and RS-20A. The rocket was designed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering (MIT). The RS-24 is manufactured at the Votkinsk Machine-Building Plant, and the automatic launcher(APU) for the Yars mobile complex - at the Barricades production facility (Volgograd).

The flight control of the RS-24 (range reaches 12 thousand km) is carried out by the nozzles of the stage engines. The rocket is corrected by the onboard electronic computer system, taking into account data from GLONASS satellites. RS-24 is equipped with the latest anti-missile defense system. Improvements also affected the thermonuclear charge.

The large-scale supply of the Strategic Missile Forces units with RS-24 missiles began in 2018, the first Yars complexes were deployed in December 2009 after numerous tests were completed.

RS-26 "Frontier"

RS-26 with the launch complex "Rubezh" was developed with innovative approach to the design of rocket engines and the control system. The rocket stages are equipped with liquid fuel engines. Range - 6 thousand km. The formidable novelty is assembled at the aforementioned engineering plant in the city of Votkinsk (Udmurtia).

RS-28 "Sarmat" (ICBM)

The design of the new generation heavy ICBM "Sarmat" RS-28 began in 2009. The designers were faced with the task of developing the best possible replacement for "Satan" (RS-20 "Voevoda").

In October 2012, the Russian defense department generally approved the new project. In 2014, a cooperation of enterprises was formed, which was entrusted with the manufacture of rockets (Krasnoyarsk Machine Building Plant and allied companies), a full-scale model of Sarmat was built. In 2018, a number of tests of the RS-28 were carried out.

New missile system has a unique ability - to deliver warheads to the target using technology that makes it impossible to repel an attack even with the most modern missile defense systems. It is ready for "orbital bombardment" of the US and its allies with a successful bypass of anti-missile weapons through the South Pole.

It also provides for the use of Yu-71 Avangard warheads as a carrier of warheads, which increases the accuracy of the strike and makes it possible to destroy enemy strategic targets kinetic energy blocks even without nuclear explosion.

The equipping of military units with new ICBMs will begin in 2021.

BZHRK "Barguzin"

"Barguzin" is a combat railway missile system, the creation of which started in 2013. The newly created BZHRK are designed to replace the Soviet "rocket trains" that were liquidated under the START-II treaty.

"Barguzin" was developed for installation on cars with launch complexes of the RS-24 missiles described above. One train is designed for six wagons with ICBMs, which corresponds to one regiment of missile troops, and five trains are equal to a division of the Strategic Missile Forces.

In 2016, the Barguzin successfully passed the throw tests. However, in December 2017 Russian newspaper"announced the closure of the topic of creating a BZHRK due to a lack of funds for the simultaneous financing of the production of Barguzinov and Avangard silo-based complexes, which replaced trains in the state armaments program until 2027 (GPV-27).

R-30 (Mace-30)

The Bulava-30 solid-propellant three-stage missile is designed to equip submarines of the 955 Borey series and submarine cruisers TK-208 Dmitry Donskoy. Its creation not only solved the problem of aging of the existing missile systems of submarines, but also greatly increased the power of the marine component of the domestic " nuclear triad". In particular, the developers have successfully implemented a system to overcome enemy missile defense.

MIT began developing the Bulava back in 1998. Serial production was launched in Votkinsk ten years later, and in 2018 the R-30 was adopted by the Russian Navy.

The maximum range of Bulava-30 reaches 11 thousand km. The launch weight of the rocket is 36.8 tons, the weight of the warhead is 1150 kg.

Samples of armor-piercing weapons

ATGM "Kornet"

Anti-tank missile systems 9K135 "Kornet" and "Germes" were created in the Instrument Design Bureau (KBP) of the glorious city of gunsmiths and the Hero City of Tula.

"Kornet", which differs from anti-tank predecessors in that the ATGM is controlled by a laser beam, and not by wire, is capable of turning tanks and other armored vehicles into a pile of metal, even equipped with the latest protective equipment. This was achieved by launching two missiles in one laser beam with a break less than the response time of the protection systems.

A modification called "Cornet-D" can also be used to destroy air targets moving at speeds up to 250 m / s, at a distance of up to 10 km and up to 9 km ceiling. It should be added that in the latest variations of the "Cornets" the "fire and forget" principle is implemented.

RK "Germes"

Hermes, which is also excellent at destroying armored vehicles, was originally developed as a multi-purpose RK for all or at least most of the military branches. It was created in the form of several variations for a variety of bases:

• "Hermes" - ground launchers;
• Hermes-A (pictured below) - for aviation, in particular, for Mi-28N and Ka-52 helicopters;
• "Hermes-K" - for equipping ships;
• Hermes-S is a stationary complex for coastal defense.

It also provides for the use of two-stage guided missiles "Hermes" with air defense systems "Shell C1".

MGK "Bur"

MGK BUR is a small-sized grenade launcher system with a reusable launcher and a single shot. It was created by the Tula KBP on the basis of the RPO-M flamethrower.

Characteristics of the grenade launcher:

• Caliber - 62 mm;
• Length - 742 mm;
• Weight - 4.8 kg;
• Grenade weight - 3.5 kg;
• Direct shot range - 650 m;
• Sighting range - 950 m;
• Armor penetration - depends on the type of shot.

MGK "BUR" was first presented to the public at arms exhibitions in 2010, and in 2014 it was put into mass production and entered service with the Russian Ground Forces.

New small arms

Automatic Kalashnikov 15

AK 15 is designed with the introduction of innovative technologies. Implemented the ability to shoot while holding the "Kalash" in one hand, bring it to a combat state in a matter of moments. Three shooting modes have been introduced - triple has been added to automatic and single.

The universal muzzle of the new AK allows you to shoot grenades from various manufacturing companies. The design of the "Kalash" includes Picatinny rails designed for mounting sights. The possibility of replacing the telescopic buttstock with a plastic one is provided.

Other important improvements:

New military equipment

T-14 "Armata"

The T-14 is the world's first fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT). Created on the tracked platform "Armata" by UKBTM designers, produced by the Uralvagonzavod enterprise. Started developing in 2009. In 2015, the first batch of tanks was produced for the parade on Red Square on the day of the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Serial production began in 2017.

The design concept embodies the concept of "network-centric warfare", where the T-14 plays the role of an armored vehicle for reconnaissance, target designation and fire adjustment of self-propelled guns, air defense systems and T-90 tanks accompanied by its tactical level.

T-14 equipped the latest complexes active and dynamic protection - "Afghanite" and "Malachite", which:

• intercept anti-tank shells;
• blind the ATGM, preventing the tank from being hit by ATGM shots;
• reflect shots from RPG;
• destroy modern sub-caliber anti-tank shells.

The crew is located in the bow of the tank separately from the fighting compartment, the T-14 tower is uninhabited. This solution means that in the event of a detonation of the ammunition, the crew remains alive with a high degree of probability. The uninhabited tower also has a significant disadvantage - the deterioration of the tankers' orientation in what is happening on the battlefield.

Another feature of the T-14 is the presence of a radar station (RLS) with a phased array, which was previously equipped only with the latest fighter aircraft.

Tank armament:

• FCS (fire control system);
• smooth-bore gun 125-mm or 152-mm caliber with 45 rounds;
• RK "Reflex-M" for launching missiles through the barrel of a 125-mm gun or the "Kornet" described above, when using a 152-mm gun;
• anti-aircraft machine gun "Kord" 12.7 mm;
• PKTM 7.62 mm.

The maximum speed of the T-14 is 90 km/h. The fuel tank is designed to overcome without refueling 500 km.

"Coalition-SV"

In the “network-centric war”, self-propelled guns follow the T-14 across the battlefield in the distance, supporting the offensive with powerful artillery fire. The 152-millimeter 2S35 "Coalition-SV", created by the engineers of the Central Research Institute "Burevestnik" (Nizhny Novgorod), also participated in the Victory Parade, however, in the form of a small batch of self-propelled guns on the T-90 chassis, although it will go into serial production on the Armata platform .

ACS features:

• bulletproof booking;
• laser irradiation warning sensors;
• grenade launchers for setting smoke screens;
• machine for 50-70 shots;
• 152 mm gun;
• anti-aircraft machine gun;
• firing various ammunition, including guided ones.

The self-propelled guns have 90 rounds of ammunition, the rate of fire is 16 rounds per minute, and the firing range is up to 80 km.

T-15 "Kurganets" (TBMP)

T-15 "Kurganets" - heavily armored infantry fighting vehicle on the platform "Armata" with protective systems "Afganit" and "Malachite", like the T-14 tank. The machine is equipped with an uninhabited combat module AU-220M, equipped with an automatic 57-mm cannon, a coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun, Kornet-EM anti-tank systems and a perfect FCS. The vehicle's air defense system is capable of shooting down Apache-class drones and helicopters.

The crew of the Kurganets, like the T-14 tank and the Coalition-SV self-propelled guns, consists of three people. Landing - out of nine.

The speed of the T-15 is up to 50 km over rough terrain.

What are the new Russian weapons other than those described here are known to you? And what do you think about the latest Russian weapons, how much is it superior to the American one? Share your opinions in the comments, we will be happy to discuss issues that interest you.

If you have any questions - leave them in the comments below the article. We or our visitors will be happy to answer them.

Any technique becomes obsolete over time, more advanced units and devices come to replace some mechanisms. Traditionally, the army not only does not stay away from innovations, but its modernization is one of the priority tasks. modern Russia. International competition in question technical equipment troops forces to introduce new technologies in the production of equipment for the armed forces. Today we will talk about the current equipment and weapons of the Russian army, as well as what combat units will replenish the military arsenal of our country in 2018.

Modernization-2017

It is known that, starting from 2017, Russia has also been modernizing the technical equipment of the army. In the next three years, at least 70 percent of the equipment and military equipment of the armed forces of the Russian Federation will be replaced with more advanced and powerful units.

This year, a part of the grandiose set of measures has been almost completely completed (several large deliveries of new military equipment are also expected in December). Since January, the Russian defense industry has produced and improved about 3,500 combat units of equipment for ground forces and fleet, including:

• 16 new warships;
• 190 modernized units of aircraft and helicopters;
• about 800 units of tanks and armored vehicles built;
• over 150 anti-aircraft missile systems;
• about 2,000 units of automotive equipment for multi-purpose use.

Let us consider in more detail the sections of technology, consisting of this moment in service and undergoing modernization in 2017, and also get acquainted with the novelties of the Russian army, which are planned to be released in 2018.

Tanks and armored vehicles

Among tank vehicles, the T-90 model traditionally stands out, having undergone more than one degree of modernization and is a leader in terms of combat characteristics. However, this year the state order included the improvement of the T-72BZ tanks. Thanks to the work done on the modernization of the model (additional armor, a new fire control system and automatic transmission), these tanks received a "second life" and in some respects are able to compete with the famous T-90.

In the category of armored vehicles, the armed forces of the Russian Federation in 2017 received improved BMP-3 (the model almost completely replaced the BMP-2 in service) and BTR-82A (anti-fragmentation synthetic protection was installed on the upgraded units). Also, the ranks of the airborne equipment were replenished with several copies of the BDM-4M and BTR-MDM ( distinctive feature of these machines is the fact that they can be landed immediately with the crew on board).

Aerospace Force

The defense of the country's aerospace space is a priority and the most urgent task, therefore special attention is paid to the armament of the airborne forces. Undoubtedly, the main event of recent years has been the production and subsequent delivery to the troops of the new generation Su35S universal fighter (4 ++), which is by far the most advanced air vehicle in service with the Russian army.

In addition to the main "star", the Su-30SM and Su-34 (modernized for "ground work") continue to be supplied to the Aerospace Forces. The latter, by the way, are planned to be produced as part of government orders until 2020.

In addition, the flow of improved models of MiG-31BM interceptors continues, on which tremendous work has been done - in the new aircraft, the on-board equipment and systems responsible for controlling weapons equipment have been replaced.

As for the modernization of the helicopter fleet, the production of Mi-28N impact devices is expected next year. These helicopters are distinguished by high stealth from enemy radars, advanced armor and powerful weapons capable of inflicting pinpoint strikes against ground targets. Also in 2018, it is planned to supply unique Ka-52 vehicles - "Alligators" can hit enemy tanks, artillery and helicopters. The largest mass-produced helicopter in the world did not go unnoticed either - the Mi-26 was also upgraded and entered into the disposal of the Aerospace Forces updated.

In addition to the above pieces of equipment, some military units of the Russian Aerospace Forces have been replenished with weapons in the form of special complexes equipped with Grusha, Granat and Outpost drones.

Strategic missiles

In such an important and very relevant category of equipping the army as nuclear weapons, the process of gradual modernization and updating of equipment is also going on. In particular, in 2018 it is planned to produce a completely new type of weapon - a railway missile system under the working name "Barguzin". Also, as part of the campaign to improve the nuclear military potential of Russia until 2020, the commissioning of such pieces of equipment as:

• RS-24 Yars(created to replace the RS-18 and RS-20 ICBM complexes in the country's arsenal);
• RS-26 Frontier(produced since 2014 and gradually adopted by the Strategic Missile Forces; in the future, it is planned to replace the famous Topoli with this complex);
• RS-28 Sarmat(in 2015, the production of the first elements of the complex was launched, at the moment the project is in the state of implementation).

Anti-tank weapons

The modernization and elements of anti-tank weapons did not bypass. This includes both vehicle complexes and individual means of destroying enemy tanks. To date, there is a gradual change of technical equipment with the commissioning of the following advanced modules:

• Kornet-D complex(anti-tank installation based on a car);
• Hermes complex(produced for arming the Ka-52 and Mi-28N helicopters; in addition, this complex is being produced jointly with the Pantsir S1 air defense system);
• MGK BUR(individual anti-tank grenade launcher);
• RPG-32 Hashim.

small arms

So far, not all possible military battles are fought through aerospace, individual weapon is still relevant, and there is room for improvement.

Today the Russian army is one of the strongest in the world. Its power is made up of professional military personnel with an excellent level of special training and the latest strategic weapons. Even now, the Russian Armed Forces have in their arsenal modern effective types of combat weapons, but the latest developments, which will soon enter service, amaze with their technical and tactical characteristics. Most of them have no analogues.

Anti-tank weapons

The complex "Kornet - D" is designed to strike at tanks and other armored targets. Effective against targets equipped with reactive armor. A characteristic difference of the complex: its control is carried out not by wire, but by means of laser beam. This allows you to hit even air targets at a distance of up to 10 kilometers.
The Hermes complex is a multi-purpose guided weapon installation. In 2012, its mass production was launched for arming military helicopters. "Hermes" effectively destroys single and group targets with single or salvo fire at a distance of up to 100 kilometers. This complex is a universal type of high-precision rocket artillery for all branches of the military. It is adapted for various basing options: ground, air, ship, stationary for coastal defense.
MGK "Bur" is a small-sized grenade launcher system with a reusable launcher and a single shot. In 2014, it was adopted by the Russian army. The main purpose of the complex is the destruction of enemy manpower, unarmored vehicles, the destruction of shelters and structures. The Bur includes a self-contained fiberglass hull for the rocket engine and a munitions launcher. Its advantages: can be equipped with different types of shots, uses different types sights, can fire even from small enclosed spaces, safe handling and high efficiency of use.
RPG-32 "Hashim" - hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher. Provides protection from enemy tanks and armored vehicles. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it can fire grenades of various calibers, depending on the targets chosen to hit. Has a special system that deceives active protection tank. She releases a false projectile, on which the protection is triggered, and the grenade in parallel strikes to kill.

The latest nuclear missiles

Nuclear weapons - the basis reliable protection states. The most common representatives of this type of weapon are the Sotka and Voyevoda ICBMs. Now the Topol and Topol-M missiles are being actively introduced. Soon the Armed Forces will also receive such promising new-generation nuclear weapons as the BZHRK Barguzin, ICBM Sarmat RS-28, RS-26 Rubezh, RS-24 Yars.
RS-24 "Yars" - a new generation of nuclear weapons. The complexes began to deploy in 2009 after the successful completion of the tests. In 2015, active equipment of combat units with these missiles began.
RS-26 "Rubezh" - strategic rocket launcher. Its basis is an intercontinental ballistic missile of increased accuracy. The development and improvement of the complex has been carried out since 2006. Since 2014, after a series of tests and modernization work, the Rubezh has been adopted by the missile forces. strategic purpose. In the future, this missile will replace the Topol and Topol-M.
ICBM "Sarmat" RS-28 - a new generation missile. According to the original plan, it was supposed to enter service at the end of 2016. In 2015, the production of the first parts for this complex began. The complex is equipped with a heavy multi-stage liquid intercontinental ballistic missile. It differs from its predecessors in massive means of protection against missile defense, an improved flight path and hypersonic maneuvering units.
BZHRK "Barguzin" - an innovative railway missile system. At the moment, the weapon has the status of "secret". Its design began in 2012 on the basis of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering. It is planned that its deployment will begin no earlier than 2018. The complex will be based on Yars or Yars-M missiles. BZHRK will be able to move throughout the country, covering up to 1000 kilometers per day. In addition, moving along railroad tracks is more economical than moving an unpaved automobile complex.

Weapon

Two-medium machine ADS - unique weapon, capable of shooting effectively on land and under water. It provides the ability to fire from the left and right shoulder. The assault rifle is equipped with a removable underbarrel grenade launcher, combined mounts for all types of sights. The ADS outperforms its predecessors in accuracy and firing efficiency.
SVLK-14S is a highly accurate sniper weapon. It is capable of effectively hitting targets at a distance of up to 1.5-2 kilometers. This rifle is not a fixed model, its characteristics vary depending on the intended use. Can be attached to the trunk different types sights. The weapon is extremely a high degree accuracy.
The 6S8 sniper complex tops the list of the best Russian large-caliber rifles. The rifle was created back in 1997, but then, for various reasons, it did not pass all the tests. After functional improvements and modernization in 2013, the complex was put into service. The rifle was designed to destroy manpower, lightly armored and unarmored vehicles, group targets at a distance of up to 1.5 kilometers. It can use a specially designed cartridge, as well as the entire range of standard cartridges. It has a compact size and low weight, which ensures its maneuverability.
Armored vehicles and tanks
Armored personnel carriers, combat vehicles infantry, amphibious assault vehicles are successfully used by the Russian military in different conditions military operations. Reliable machines are constantly being upgraded, adapting to the requirements of the terrain and the conditions for performing maneuvers.
The latest developments that have entered service are the BTR-82 and BTR-82A. These modifications have an economical engine, are equipped with an electric drive with a stabilizer for controlling the gun, and are equipped with a laser sight. They have improved reconnaissance capabilities, a fire extinguishing system, and fragmentation protection.
BMP-3 is a unique military vehicle that has no analogues in the world. The equipment is equipped with mine protection, has a sealed hull with circular armor. This airborne floating machine is capable of speeds up to 70 km/h.
The Russian T-90 tank, especially its modification T-90SM, is equipped with an air conditioning system, an improved fire extinguishing system, and is capable of effectively hitting moving targets.
The Armata tank, a strategic development of Russian scientists, can become a unique type of weapon. At the moment, the combat vehicle is being tested, but military experts predict the status of the most effective tank for Armata.

Aviation

Among the means air defense the Su-35S aircraft and the KA-52 Alligator and KA-50 Black Shark helicopters should be singled out. The fighter has a unique weapon control system, hits targets with high accuracy and is able to gain air supremacy in a short time. "Alligator" and "Black Shark" are formidable military vehicles, so far no country in the world has created helicopters that would surpass them in tactical and technical specifications.
Well equipped and Russian fleet. Modern surface ships provide transportation of military and weapons. Underwater submarines carry out brilliant reconnaissance operations, inflict surprise attacks on the enemy, and protect territorial water boundaries.
The development of ultra-efficient surface-to-surface cruise missiles also deserves attention, including the BrahMos complex equipped with the SK310 missile, the KTRV hypersonic missile, the BrahMos-II, and the Zircon-S.

Russian Federation were formed in 1992. At the time of creation, their number was 2,880,000 people. Today it reaches 1,000,000 people. This is not only one of the largest armed forces in the world. Armament Russian army today is very modern, developed, has reserves nuclear weapons, weapons mass destruction, a developed system for countering an enemy offensive and redeploying weapons if necessary.

The army of the Russian Federation practically does not use foreign-made weapons. Everything you need is made in the country. All military equipment and weapons are the result of research by scientists and the functioning of the defense industry. The army is controlled by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation through military districts and other command and control bodies. Also, to manage the Russian Armed Forces, the General Staff was created, whose tasks are defense planning, conducting mobilization and operational training, organizing intelligence operations, etc.

Armored vehicles

Military equipment and weapons of the Russian army are constantly being modernized. This happens with vehicles such as armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and BMD. They are designed for combat operations. various types terrain, and are also capable of transporting a combat detachment of up to 10 people, overcoming water obstacles. These vehicles can travel both forward and reverse at the same speed.

So, at the beginning of 2013, the BTR-82 and BTR-82A entered service with the Russian army. This modification has an economical diesel generator set, is equipped with an electric drive with a stabilizer to control the gun, a laser sight. The designers have improved reconnaissance capabilities, the fire extinguishing system and fragmentation protection have been improved.

About 500 BMP-3s are in service. This technique and the weapons it is equipped with have no equal in the whole world. equipped with mine protection, have a strong and sealed body, providing all-round armor for protection personnel. The BMP-3 is an airborne amphibious vehicle. On a flat road speeds up to 70 km / h.

Russian nuclear weapons

Nuclear weapons have been adopted since the days of the USSR. This is a whole complex that directly includes ammunition, carriers and means of movement, as well as control systems. The action of the weapon is based on nuclear energy, which is released during the fission reaction or fusion of nuclei.

New today is the RS-24 "Yars". Developments on it were started under the USSR in 1989. After Ukraine refused to develop it jointly with Russia, all design developments in 1992 were transferred to MIT. By design, the Yars missile is similar to the Topol-M. Its difference is a new platform for breeding blocks. On the Yars, the payload has been increased, and the hull has been treated with a special compound to reduce the impact of a nuclear explosion. This missile is capable of performing programmatic maneuvers and is equipped with a missile defense system.

Pistols for the army

Pistols in the troops of any kind are used for close combat and personal self-defense. This weapon gained popularity due to its compactness and light weight, but the main advantage was the ability to fire with one hand. Until 2012, pistols in service with the Russian army were used mainly by Makarov systems (PM and PMM). The models are designed for 9 mm cartridges. The firing range reached 50 meters, the rate of fire was 30 rounds per minute. Magazine capacity PM - 8 rounds, PMM - 12 rounds.

However, the Makarov pistol was recognized as obsolete, and a more modern model was adopted. This is the Swift, developed jointly with the special forces. In terms of its technical characteristics, the pistol surpasses the world-famous Glock. Another pistol that the army adopted new Russia in 2003, there was an SPS (Serdyukov self-loading pistol).

9-mm cartridges with small ricochet bullets, as well as armor-piercing and armor-piercing tracer bullets, were developed for it. It is equipped with a special spring to speed up the change of a two-row magazine and two safety valves.

Aviation

The armament of the Russian army in terms of aviation makes it possible to provide protection and attack on the enemy, as well as to carry out various operations, such as reconnaissance, security and others. Aviation is represented by aircraft and helicopters for various purposes.

Among the aircraft, it is worth noting the Su-35S model. This fighter is multifunctional and highly maneuverable, it is designed to strike at moving and stationary ground targets. But its main task is to gain air supremacy. The Su-35S has engines with more thrust and a rotary thrust vector (product 117-S). It uses a fundamentally new on-board equipment - the aircraft information and control system provides the maximum degree of interaction between the pilots and the machine. Installed on the fighter latest system weapons control "Irbis-E". It is capable of simultaneously detecting up to 30 air targets, firing up to 8 targets without interrupting ground and air surveillance.

Among the helicopters modern weapons Russian army should be noted KA-52 "Alligator" and KA-50 "Black Shark". These two combat vehicles are a formidable weapon, so far not a single country in the world has been able to create and oppose equipment that matches them in terms of tactical and technical capabilities. "Alligator" can operate at any time of the day or night, under any weather and climatic conditions. "Black Shark" is designed to destroy various armored vehicles, including tanks, as well as to protect ground facilities and troops from enemy attacks.

Vehicles

Equipment of the Russian army vehicles for various purposes differs in large scale. Automotive equipment is presented in the form of highly mobile, cargo-passenger, multi-purpose, specially protected and armored.

The STS "Tiger", adopted by the Russian army, has proven itself especially well. The car is used for reconnaissance operations, surveillance of the enemy, transportation of personnel and ammunition, patrolling high-risk areas, and escorting mobile columns. It has high maneuverability, a large power reserve, good visibility for firing.

For the operational transfer of equipment, ammunition and personnel in large quantities, the KRAZ-5233BE "Spetsnaz" is used. The vehicle is designed to work in harsh climatic conditions (from -50 to +60 degrees), has high cross-country ability - it can overcome water barriers up to 1.5 m deep and snow covers up to 60 cm high.

tanks

Tanks are armored fighting vehicles and are used by ground forces. Today, the T-90, T-80 and T-72 models are used in the Russian army. Modern armament with tanks outnumbers the equipment of the army of the United States of America.

The T-80 has been supplied to the army since 1976, since then it has gone through several modifications.
