Martial baptism: What Russian weapon was first used in Syria. New Russian weapon in Syria

There is a third world War And the reinforcement of gangsters in Palmyra arrived not by simple five thousand militants, but this is a well-armed and trained army led by the former Iraqi generals prepared in our Soviet Academians.

"X-True info" - "Combat helicopters and aircraft almost continuously rushed over the enemies heads and struck them on them throughout the formed front. Tens of terrorists were eliminated by rocket-bomb ... "

The fact that the aircraft "roll over the heads of enemies" - I understand it, but at helicopters in duties - hang on a certain altitude and from there to work on terrorists from machine guns by sighting fire, and when they work on the battlefield, the final result They are not important: out of five thousand militants only: "dozens of terrorists".
Americans with this question:
"... The helicopter leads fire either at a very small speed, or hangs at all. At the same time, the helicopter is enough big height, not one hundred meters ... If the militants were large-caliber machine guns Type DSHK or anti-aircraft installations Zu-23-2, unlikely "Apache" could afford that pleasure "
("Crocodiles" without "alligators" of the military-industrial complex).

Such a "burner" with a height of "not one hundred meters" is not for Mi-24/28 helicopters, their lots of power reserves work only at low altitudes and high speeds, what they do: "On another video" Igilovsy "showed a shock helicopter Mi-35 VKS Russia participating in a counter-terrorist operation. On the frames of the thoring machine is very low over the ground "(X-True info).

Further, more: Mi-28 When shooting from guns, aims is worse. The gun is attributed from the axes (vertical and horizontal) to the maximum possible distance (from the bottom in the nose), besides the gun - from BMP, which has a very strong return. They showed the work of this gun with Mi-28 on TV, so the dashboard from the shooting looks like washing, but not a dashboard, so there can be no less action and speech. For example, Ka-52 has such a gun on the right side in the center of the masses, and its aims is significantly more accurate.
"Teammander of the Bug (a combat shock group on Ka-50 helicopters in the Chechen war) Colonel Alexander Orekhov:" Gun 2A42 is generally a song. From a distance of three and a half kilometer, shells lie literally in the "top ten". Accordingly, the ammunition will save. "
For real helicopter work in the mode of joints in this war, it makes sense to use ka-29 combat helicopters, which have a static ceiling \u003d 3700m. Not on paper (Mi-28), but in the air! Yes, and it takes much more boot, which will noticeably increase the efficiency of combat departure. According to media reports, militants on tanks and pickups with large-caliber machine guns approached Palmir, here it should hang the Ka-29 type helicopter at a height of 2 km. And destroy tanks with pickups. One such helicopter on a modern battlefield will cost Mi-24/28 helicopters.

Why "hang on 2km", because the anti-aircraft installation 3U-23-2 is able to affect the target only to the height \u003d 1.5 km. And these two km. It will be quite enough for the sighting and calm development of the crew of terrorists. And from the missile "earth-air" from our helicopters on this moment There is defense "BCO" President-C ".
By the way, in Afghanistan the MI-24 helicopter due to the lack of engine power reserves, it took off by a helicopter one, as it should be on the design, and from the nasal wheel, which then taught the Mileus Testor pilot G.R. Karapetyan.

Since then, our combat helicopters have been in the inertia and work only at low altitudes.

And what is there ka-52?

For highly melaniented and with a large power supply, other duties are assigned to it.
"Crushing" Alligator "in Syria"
"We hear them. If a couple of "alligators" took off, then it will land or go on a passenger or military transport aircraft. There are no longer wrong here. Ka-52 crews cover the landing attachment on the glide and run all aircraftArriving and departing from the Hmeimim airbase. The need for this is dictated by the special conditions for the implementation of special tasks in Syria. In the case of fire influence on the aircraft, the main task of the crews of "Alligators" is to cover it and destroy the target of the enemy, which is on the firing position on Earth. As they say in such cases, take fire on yourself.

But there are other tasks that perform the crews of Ka-52 helicopters. It is no secret that in the sky of Syria happened, alas, and abnormal, emergencies. And in the case of their occurrence for the salvation and evacuation of the crew, ending disaster, departs search and rescue Mi-8 with a specially prepared group on board, which is accompanied by a pair of "Alligators". The crews of the drum helicopters ensure the covering of the search, salvation and evacuation of the Mi-8 helicopter at all stages - from the take-off before landing in a given area and from takeoff to landing at the Hmeimim airfield. At the same time, they destroy, if necessary, the firepoint detected enemy.

- The tasks that we do, "says the crew commander, are very important, but you can not forget about the main purpose of our shock helicopter. By destroying the lively strength of terrorist groups, he takes on the feature of the attack aircraft. We can affect not only light-fertilized goals, but also fortified objects, tanks. And we have appropriate weapons to perform these tasks. Applying anti-tank controlled rockets, we are able to hit 900-mm armor. "
(Alexander Kolotilo, the newspaper "Red Star, 27.10. Otvaga).

From this interview, it can be seen that the pilot with Ka-52, unlike the pilots of the Mi-24, is not afraid of the oncoming shooting fire when using pt.

The pilot with the Mi-24: "After performing the strike, the NUR theoretically, fire from the gun should be theoretically, after which a sharp lapse is performed or an anti-transparent maneuver. But in practice, if the enemy meets fire, the gun is better to miss, and immediately turn off, "the pilot tactics shares the secrets" ("crocodiles" without "alligators" of the military-industrial complex).

In general, it does not fit in my head: how can I serially and have long to release a combat helicopter with the flight characteristics of the middle of the last century, and even raw, not communicated to the desired state? Mi-28N engines seem to be modern VK-2500, but their power is limited to old TV3-117, because gearboxes can drip chips. Even with limited capacity for this reason, in April of this year, such a "combat" helicopter was killed at once two high-class pilots, and also twice killed on the pilot and also high-class, the heroes of Russia.
Today in Syria in the course of any old technique: and MiG-23, and SU-22 (export version of the old-nastroby Su-17), and old soviet tanks And bring appropriate benefit in the exile of enemies. In the same spirit, Mi-28N helicopters are used and also benefited.

But "benefits" is different. Currently, helicopters to the place of hostilities should be approached at speeds of 360k / h, but not 260k / h, as today. There were cases where American combat helicopters "Apache" at such a speed in Yugoslavia and Iraq were shot down by peasants from hunting rifles.

And helicopters with high speed characteristics were offered by Kamov in the last century, but in order not to undermine the authority of MI helicopters, these projects under different cheromudreous pretexts were rejected. As they would come in handy in the same palmir instead of obsolete and weak on the battlefield Mi-24/28.
Below, I give pictures of these real fighters of modern war, capable of hanging at an altitude deficient for small arms and destroy terrorists with all possible types of weapons, including anti-tank manageable rockets.

Vinokryl B-100, crew Two people, battle load 3T, dynamic ceiling 6500m.
Maximum speed 450k / h, radius of action 700km.

Helicopter B-50 Helicopter Longitudinal Scheme, capable of quickly transferring a landing point in a hot spot. Estimated speed -400k / h.
AR will apply and
A much greater benefit would be from a combat pair of helicopters from Ka-52 and Ka-50 than from the Mi-28N pair that are not afraid of strikes on the tail beam. Mi-24's archer helicopters have long since replaced with more powerful and speed-type B-50; The destruction of armored vehicles on the battlefield should work high-speed rollers type B-100, then the losses will be much smaller and the result is much higher. And they should have even more advanced and modern, high-speed ka-92, ka-102 and ka-90!

And "mi?

Constructors of the MWZ, the only KB, who regularly highlighted the huge amounts from the state budget to Nira and Niocra, so that the "flag of them in hand" and let the truthful modern helicopters build, and do not overflow the Mi-24, because the worn old old old It will never be as they do not cut it.

Vitaly Belyaev

A week after the start of the special operation of the air-space forces of Russia against the terrorist group, the Islamic state, the first personnel of the combat use of our helicopters were in the Internet. On the video, shot on October 7 by the militants, the Mi-24P Helicopters of Russian CCS supported the Syrian troops near El Latamna. Later, the work of our helicopters was noted on other sites of the Syrian front. Immediately the question arose why the Russian command decided to use "twenty-solid" in Syria, and not new Mi-35m, Mi-28N or Ka-52. In this article we will try to answer this question, considering the various arguments "for" and "against".

Used by the SV RF in Syria, the Mi-24P helicopter passed the battle of military actions in Afghanistan, Chechnya and South Ossetia, therefore delighted from the children's growth diseases inherent in all new cars. The helicopter since the times of Afghan is perfectly adapted to the actions in a hot climate and an increased dust, which is extremely important at the Middle Eastern Combat Theater. The same Ka-52 has not yet participated in hostilities in the desert conditions, unlike the Mi-35 and Mi-28, which are in service with Iraq's army, so its first battle runoff in such sophisticated conditionsmay have been related to certain difficulties.

Mi-24P is a transport and combat helicopter, which, if necessary, can be used to evacuate crews, shot down by militants (or victims for technical reasons) aircraft. Alas, it is impossible to exclude such an opportunity, therefore the groaning compartment "Twentages", accommodating eight people or four stretchers, may well come in handy. Ka-52 has no incomile compartment, and Mi-28N can be used for evacuation only in extreme casebecause Its technical compartment is little adapted for the transport of people.

The main advantage of the Mi-24P before the "colleagues" is his firepower. Helicopter In addition to the two-sided gun GS-30K has six pendant points for managed and unmanaged weapons, on which you can place anti-tank controlled rockets (Ptti), unmanageable aviation rockets (NA), bombs, as well as suspended fuel tanks (PBB). The experience of battles with illegal armed groups in Afghanistan and Chechnya showed that the main weapon of the helicopter is the Nara, which are preferable to use against the living force of the enemy, especially when the attacked enemy is trying to disperse. For the ptur not so much goals, because The militants are not as saturated with armored and automotive equipment as the regular army. Nevertheless, we believe that managed rockets must necessarily be on the helicopter suspension in the amount of several pieces.

Since Russian bombers apply bombing strikes not only on the contact line of the Syrian troops and Igilovsev, but also in the rear of the Islamic state, then if necessary, evacuating the SU-34 crews is very useful to use suspended tanks on helicopter suspension. At the same time, the possibility of applying the entire nomenclature of weapons (Ptti, NA), which will be needed to destroy militants trying to capture shot down pilots in captivity.

The optimal suspension of weapons on the Mi-24P is probably as follows: a few ptthi on two pilons and blocks of Nar on four pylons. If it is necessary to work at a large distance from the base, the suspension option may be as follows: Ptti on two pilons, blocks NAR on two pylons, PTB on two pilons. In any of these options, the helicopter is capable of providing a serious firing effect on the enemy.

Now consider it competitors. That Mi-35m that Mi-28N has only 4 suspension points, respectively, their firepower is weaker than on the older counterfeit, and when working on a large distance from the base, the arms nomenclature will also be weakened and due to the suspension of PTB, leaving under the PTS or Nag is only two pylon. Ka-52 six pendant points, as in the Mi-24P, but managed rockets for this helicopter, according to some data, have not yet passed the entire test cycle. As it seems to us, it would be unreasonable to send a helicopter to war, which is deprived of the opportunity to attack armor objects and the fortified firepoints of militants with controlled weapons.

Also, the possibility of sending Mi-28N to Syria could affect the August catastrophe of one of the helicopters of this type on the indicative flights during the Aviadars competition. Undoubtedly, until the end of the work of the Commission investigating this incident, it would be incorrect to use a machine in the combat zone, possibly having problems with the material part.

Of course, the helicopters of a new type (Mi-28N, Ka-52) improved the possibilities of work "on the ground" on their own, without resorting to the help of aircaters, and also above the likelihood of evading the attack using CRCK, but it seems russian ministry Defense decided that the use of tested cars with a large number of options with suspension weapons and large evacuation capabilities would be preferable in this situation. Given that it was not observed in the action of a special frequency of use of CRCK militants, perhaps there is a reson.

"Military Acceptance" continues the cycle of programs about the work of our military in Syria. This time the characters of the program are helicopters. These are engaged in the case of search and rescue operations, they cover the nearest approaches to our military base of the HMIMIM, they perform a lot of other tasks, risking life, testing themselves to the strength of themselves and their combat technique. Oh, who and how it comes to the sky today of this distant eastern country, the blades of which helicopters cut the hot Syrian air and how Russian helicopter officers live in these uneasy conditions and serve and serve Help comes from the skyThe best pilots in Russia, navigathers, bortykhniki, many of which have repeatedly participated in the air part of the parade on Red Square in Moscow, today here, in Syria, perform real combat missions. Thus, a group of search and rescue parachute service airbase Hamimim is ready for any a moment to fly to the aid of our pilots who fell into trouble in the region. The account is not going for a minute - for a second: the first to board the helicopter rushes the crew of the search and rescue service, behind him - rescuers, doctor, personnel composition of the fire cover group. The helicopter to be reached in a dangerous area is protected as a flying fortress: on blisters at the pillarman pilot and the crew commander - armor, behind the back - Armorists. In addition, the crew performs a flight in body armor, and everyone who is in the car, including doctors, armed.
In the case of salvation of the crew of Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Peshkova to the area where the alarm signal came from, I pulled out exactly the same helicopter. At that time, no one knew that in the area where our pilots had to look for, the terrorists will arrange an ambush ... now it is clear why the group flies completely equipped and armed.
In Syria, all flights of coilry machines pass at the minimum height. It is necessary not to fall under the fire of enemy IDPs. By the way, in our helicopters the function is laid, which turns on the mark below the insertion, the machine does not fall. Fight in Syria, our helicopters also at extremely small heights. In one of settlements Syrian government troops could not knock out terrorists, after which they requested support from the air. Impact Mi-24 from the composition russian grouping The "finishing" approached the Earth and released rockets. The assault of the village was solved.
Combat "carousel" - It can virtually wait up, then unfold, hang and fall down the lightning. Working pilots - jewelry: at the bottom point of this "carousel" helicopter flies at an altitude of five meters at a speed of 200 km / h. The virtuoso work of the pilots is manifested not only in the skill of the highest pilot. For example, in Syria without any workouts, it is necessary to fly in the night for more than an unknown territory and to be at the target with an accuracy of five seconds. According to the aviars themselves, such accuracy is needed for the consistency of actions with the ground part of the operation: late may turn into human victims.
Another important task of helicopterists in Syria is escort. It is the drum helicopters that protect the aircraft of the Russian military transport aircraft using the Hmeimim airfield. Protection Echelonized: Helicopters are responsible at low heights, at large - Su-30cm fighters and Su-35. According to the navigator of the Mi-28N helicopter, they are in the air at a distance of about 50-200 meters from the accompanied BT board, covering it on the glide on the landing or on the take-off. The task is to identify the source of fire impact to localize and destroy it.
On earth, in heaven, on the seaAnother thing is to save the sea. In the equipment of the pilots, in addition to the mandatory in combat conditions of small armament, a speed-risk boat is included. It provides the opportunity to be on the surface of the water. Noticing a rescue helicopter, the pilot lights a smoke checker of orange smoke. For the crew of the rescuer helicopter, the main thing is to notice this signal, but the most difficult thing is to keep the car during the raising the victim. According to Alexander, the commander of the helicopter squadron of a consolidated air strike of the airbase Hmeimim, the sea surface does not give the opportunity to "cling to look", there are no reference points here. The direction is maintained in the course system, the height is on the radio sober. The navigator and berthekhnik at this moment perform the role of gunners.
It is worth noting that the teachings for air rescuers are conducted in Syria systematically. In addition, all helicopters before entering the fighting area are a special preparation course in the 344th central training and reappearance of the flight composition of army aviation in Torzhok. As the head of the center, Colonel Andrei Popov notes, on the results of work in Syria, new techniques have revealed, new tactical moves. All this is communicated to flight composition during training events. Among such new tactical techniques, an officer notes - the use of means of defeat for ground targets with access to goals with the go.
After all, the Mi-28 helicopter can find the goal on themselves, and it is possible to indulge in it with an airpressure. "Night Hunter" (it is also called Mi-28N) in Syria often use at night. The takeoff is made in the mode of lighting, the pilot works with the night vision device. There may be rescue operations. True, only on Earth. In the sea - only during the day. The reason is all the same - the pilot is difficult to navigate over the sea surface. As for the technology of salvation, it is worked out to the smallest detail. From the board of the helicopter, the rescuer descends, clinging the man who fell into the trouble for the strapping. After all, the pilot, the crash, can be injured or in general to be unconscious. After a couple of seconds both - and the rescuer, and the pilot saved by them - find themselves in the air, and then on board the helicopter.

Russian Mi-28 in Palmyra

The Syrian experience of the use of military helicopters allowed to find and work out new tactical techniques to overcome the air defense, the head of the combat training of army aviation ACS Russia, Major General Oleg Chesnokov, said.

"The features of the application of army aviation in any local conflict, including, and now in Syria, are carefully analyzed. Revealed strong I. weak sides Both in the preparation of flights and the operation of aviation equipment - depending on the geography of tasks and features of the situation. New tactical techniques were found and worked out and worked out by the enemy air defense and solving fire tasks, "he said.

Garmenov added that on the basis of this analysis in the center of combat use of army aviation in Torzhok, the recommendations of the summer, which are sent to the troops and are "taken into account during the further combat planning", RIA Novosti reports.

In addition, he said that the newest modification of Mi-28 helicopters "Night Hunter" will begin to enter Russian troops since 2017.

"Currently, the prototypes of the Mi-28 revolt helicopter samples with positive results were government tests," said garlic.

He explained that at first Mi-28UB will come to the 344th center of combat use and reappear of the flight composition of army aviation in Torzhok, and then go to the UKS aircraft.

"The experience of using Mi-28N helicopters showed the need to release helicopters of this type with double-controlled, and now the pilots and teachers of the Town Center have already passed retraining on this modification," the Major General added. Mi-28N "Night Hunter" (in the export version of Mi-28NE) is a shock helicopter intended for the search and destruction of tanks, armored and unarmented technology, as well as infantry of the enemy on the battlefield and low-speed air targets.

Chesmenov also reported that the "helicopters of Russia" created a flying laboratory - a demonstrator of a promising speed helicopter. The main in the design of the Flying Lab PSV are the blades of the carrier screw. New constructive solutions when creating them allow you to increase maximum speed Mi-28 helicopter by 13%, on Mi-35 helicopters - by 30%. "

Flight tests are currently underway, in which an intermediate result was obtained - "The speed of horizontal flight is 360 km / h in combination with a low level of vibration and loads on the design of a flying laboratory", marked garlic.

"The PSV velocity compared to the known samples of drum helicopters will be increased 1.5 times to 400-500 km / h," he reminded.

More than 50 new helicopters, including ka-52 "Alligator", Mi-28N "Night Hunter", Mi-35, Mi-8amStsh "Terminator", Mi-26, Ansat-y, entered manufacturers in the part of army aviation for The first three quarters of the current year. Its more than 10 units of technology will be delivered by the end of the year, TASS reports.

"All the events planned for the year, including the teachings of the units of army aviation of various levels, aviation support of interspecific teachings, participation in international exercises and army games, the development of incoming newest samples of aviation equipment, the improvement of flight skills by the personnel, the preparation of young pilots, were carried out with very Good results, "he said.

Last week, the head of the Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, said that the operation in Syria revealed a number of constructive and production deficiencies of the Russian military equipment.

In mid-July, the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia, General of the Army, Valery Gerasimov, ordered by the end of the year to eliminate the shortcomings of Russian military equipment and weapons that were revealed during the operation in Syria.

On April 14, during the straight line, Putin acknowledged that during the operation of the VKS Russia in Syria in the domestic military equipment, a few flaws were revealed, but in general she showed themselves brilliantly, due to which the demand for the Russian weapons increased abroad.

On May 11, the spokesman for President Dmitry Peskov said that the main problem identified in the Armed Forces during the operation in Syria was the work of technology, this experience is analyzed for its further improvement.

On May 12, the deputy general director of the "helicopters of Russia" for the production and innovation of Andrei Shibitov reported that the holding coordinates from the Ministry of Defense to the modernization program of combat helicopters based on the experience of their operation in Syria.

During the military operation in Syria, the Armed Forces of Russia experienced many newest samples of Russian weapons and equipment. At the same time, for the first time was used in the battle of cars in service not one decades. However, about everything in order.

Strategic Rocket Sheet Tu-160 "White Swan" with Rockets X-101

Supervice strategic bombers-rocket mines Tu-160 "White Swan", which in the West are called Blackjack, began to exploit back in 1987. However, the first combat use of "Swans" took place in Syria in 2015.

Now Russia has 16 such aircraft, but soon we must do up to 50 modernized machines.

A formidable rocket train, which is considered a means of nuclear deterrence, destroyed the terrorists with ordinary ammunition - airbabers of the Cabra 500 and the walled rockets X-101.

About the latter should be said separately, since in Syria they were also applied for the first time. These are the winged rockets of the new generation, which have a fantastic range of flight - 5,500 kilometers, several times more than European and American analogues. In the space of the rocket oriented with the help of a combined navigation system: an inertial plus GLONASS. X-101 flies in the range of heights from 30 meters to 10 kilometers, invisible for radars and is very accurate - the maximum deviation from the target on the limit range does not exceed five meters. Unlike predecessors, the rocket can destroy both moving goals. Mass of the fragmentation fugasal combat part X-101 400 kilograms. The nuclear version of the rocket, X-102, carries a 250 kiloton warhead.

According to a number of experts, applying strategic aviation in Syria, Russia has tried a new strategy, having committed a revolution in military affairs.

Small rocket ships project "Buyan-M" with Rockets "Calibr"

Small rocket ships of the project 21631 "Buyan-M" are multipurpose vehicles of the class "River-Sea". The composition of their armament includes artillery installation A-190, machine-gun sets of calibers of 14.5 and 7.62 millimeters, as well as the duet anti-aircraft artillery complex, and anti-terrorist winged rockets "Calibr-NK" and "Onyx". Autonomous swimming of such a ship can last to ten days.

During the war in Syria, the winged rockets "Calibr" managed not only to pass the battle baptism, but also to acquire the status of world famous. Attaching these missiles by targets, filmed drone, as well as video recordings of their starts became one of the business cards of the Navy of Russia.

Unlike foreign competitors, "calibres" can fly in a wide range of speeds from subsonic to exceeding the speed of sound three times. Guidance on the final portion of the trajectory is carried out with the help of obstacle active active radar heads of homing.

Rockets are able to overcome any anti-airframe defense. The flight occurs at a height of 50 to 150 meters, and when approaching the goal, the rocket is reduced to twenty meters and causes a blow that cannot be prevented. The flight of rockets is made by a complex trajectory with a change in the height and direction of movement. This gives her the opportunity to approach the goal with any unexpected direction for the enemy.

As for the accuracy of hitting, the expression "beats in the apple" is appropriate. For example, the export version of the "caliber" shoots 300 kilometers and destroys the target with a diameter of 1-2 meters. It is clear that rockets used by the Navy of Russia, the accuracy characteristics are even higher.

In Syria, the "Kalibrov" launches were carried out with small rocket ships "Uglich", "Grad Sviyazhsk", "Great Ustyug", "Green Dol" and "Serpukhov" (as well as with ships of other types and submarines).

Russian winged "calibres" have already become a headache for the United States - after all, in anti-workers, they are more effective than American "tomahas", and their placement on the courts of low displacement creates many difficulties for potential opponents.

Controlled shells "Krasnopol"

In Syria, Russian managed were used to eliminate terrorists artillery shells "Krasnopol". The shooting range of modern modifications "Krasnopol" is 30 kilometers. The mass of an explosive in ammunition of this type is from 6.5 to 11 kilograms.

One of the main features of the machine is its high maneuverability. In addition, the "Night Hunter" can perform combat tasks at any time of the day.

The armored cabin of the helicopter protects the crew from 20-mm shells and armor-piercing bullets. Armor also protected the most important helicopter systems. Mi-28N is equipped with a radar located above the screw sleeve. The use of this complex allows you to effectively search, detect, recognition, and damage to ground and air targets. The helicopter is armed with a 30-mm automatic cannon. It can also carry controlled (anti-tank) or unmanaged (against infantry and lightweight technology) Air-Earth rocket. The possibility of installing air-air missiles is provided, which allows Mi-28 to destroy not only aircraft and helicopters, but also small drones and even winged rockets. The helicopter has four suspension points and, among other things, can be used for the production of mine barrage.

Two such helicopters were on board the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" during the Syrian campaign. There ka-52k rose into the air and carried out test launches.

Ka-52k "Katran" is a ship version of Ka-52 "Alligator" and is intended for patroling, fire support for landing when landed as shore, solving the problems of anti-defense defense at the forefront and in the tactical depth at any time of the day.

From the basic version, the ship "Katran" is distinguished by the presence of a shortened folding wing, which was improved by the placement of heavy weapons, and the mechanism of folding the blades, which allows it to be compactly located in the hold.

Nevertheless, despite the "miniature dimensions", Ka-52k has formidable weapons. These are torpedoes, deep bombs and winged anti-worn rockets.

The helicopter has a laser-ray weapon guidance system and the video processing system "Hunter". Opto-electronic complex "Vitebsk" protects "Katran" from the defeat with rockets with infrared heads of homing.

Tank T-90

However, Tu-160, Mi-28N and Admiral Kuznetsov are not the only well-known "old people", first noticed in the battle in Syria.

For the first time, the T-90 was applied by Syrian troops in the province of Aleppo in 2016.

In addition, in Syria, for the first time, secret weapons T-90 were tested - the curtain-1 optical-electronic suppression complex, designed just to protect the tank from the Ptti.

Syrian tankers very highly appreciated the possibilities of T-90. The only disadvantage they called the lack of air conditioner, which makes it difficult to keep the battle in the conditions of the desert.

Recently it became known that the tank was upgraded with the Syrian experience.

Armoroviki "Typhoon"

The new Russian armored car "Typhoon" was also tested for the first time in Syria. At the beginning of 2017, there was noticed by the armored vehicle "Typhoon-K".

K63968 "Typhoon-K" is a non-blank multifunctional modular car. In modifications for the transport of personnel can accommodate up to 16 people. The landing may be carried out both with a ramp and through the door. Machine cabin is protected by reinforced armor. There is also an installation of armor on the windshield.

The new armored car is not terrible even some types of RPGs. From these "tank murderers", the car saves special attachments that securely protect the crew from cumulative jets. The wheels "typhoon" bulletproof and are equipped with special anti-explosive inserts.

The mass of a fully equipped "typhoon" is 24 tons, the length of the hull is 8990 millimeters, and the width is 2550 millimeters. 450 horsepower of the engine allow the armored vehicle with a speed of 110 kilometers per hour.

The machine is built on the wheeled formula 6x6, which allows it to easily overcome off-road, snow drifts and any other types of obstacles. In Syria, Typhoon are used not only for personalized personnel service, but also, for example, to deliver humanitarian aid.
