BPT "Azoviets"
BMPT "Azoviets" / Focus
A heavy infantry fighting machine (BMPT), represented in November 2015, looks, in the opinion of the publication, rather strange.
The car received two combat modules, each of which has a 180 degree viewing sector. There are harmonious aircraft GS-23 and large-caliber machine guns.
Two anti-tank missiles can be installed at the BMP: "Stowing" and "Corsair". Created a car based on T-64 tank. On the perimeter of the case, blocks of dynamic protection "Knife" are installed.
In addition to an unusual appearance, the car is amazing for another two reasons.
- this is one of the few BMP, created by the efforts of volunteers.
- Azoviets looks much more protected than serial samples military equipmentpurchased for the needs of the army of Ukraine.
This, in particular, is about modernized Soviet Braths, which do not meet the requirements of the modern war and are stitched with bullets of 12.7 mm.
Units armed with such a technique carry large losses in the ATO zone, and the creation of a new heavy BMP has become an acute necessity. But it is difficult to talk about the prospects for the machine in the current circumstances, concludes a magazine.
Tank of the new generation
Futurized Main Battle Tank - This name was the concept of the Ukrainian "Tank of the Future", which was first introduced by Ukroboronprom and Spetstechnosport at Defexpo India 2014.
According to the publication, this is an attempt to create an analogue of the Russian T-14, developed on the basis of the "Armat" platform. In the Ukrainian army new tank Could change the T-64 and T-72. At the foundation, installation of motors 6TD-4 with a capacity of 1500 hp and 6TD-5 with a capacity of 1800 hp
The motor will be in front of the case, and immediately behind it, the engineers are located inhabited module. As in the case of the Russian T-14, the new tank must receive a uninhabited remote-managed tower.
The "main caliber" of OTT can be 125-mm gun "Vityaz" or 140 mm promising "Bagira".
In addition, it is assumed to install a zenith machine gun, and the machine itself must obtain reliable protection from most anti-tank agents. In the design, some decisions of the Soviet school of tank buildings are guessed, but obviously, the new tank is supposed to be created from scratch.
The concept of Futurized Main Battle Tank is interesting, but in the present conditions looks almost fantastics, the publication believes and notes that the Ukrainian army has not received a single new tank for all the time of war, and all the main funds transferred to the Ministry of Defense combat tanks are partially upgraded old Soviet Food.
In conditions, when it is not even possible to establish a serial release of new Tanks of BM "Stop", it is not necessary to talk about the development of a new car. The authorities of Ukraine recognize that the military budget of the country is about 40 times less than the Russian. So the competitor "Armatians" can exist only on paper.
Mi-2MSB-in
In the fall of 2015, the enterprise "Motor Sich" presented a helicopter, which was dubbed "new shock helicopter".
However, the editors of the journal is convinced that in reality it is a modification of the Soviet multi-purpose Mi-2, which raised into the sky in the 60s. Mi-2MSB-in equipped with a new AI-450B engine, blocks unmanaged rockets B-8MSB and machine guns.
According to the publication, the helicopter can perform shock tasks, but with great difficulty. Mi-2MSB-B did not receive modern aiming devices, and there are no controlled anti-tank missiles in his arsenal.
In addition, the booking of the helicopter is completely insufficient (as for the drummer). The reason for the joke was the "Spartan" species Mi-2MSB-B: the left exhaust pipe with a homemade screen, for example, Runet users compared with the "kitchen hood", and in order to significantly increase the protection of the rolling machine, it was offered to supply "bed grid", notes magazine.
The publication believes that by the standards of the 21st century, the combat machine is an anachronism. But it can relatively successfully carry out reconnaissance tasks.
This is assumed that someone will produce a new helicopter, notes the publication, adding that Ukraine does not have a full cycle of the assembly of coilry machines, so we can talk about the modernization of the already constructed samples of technology.
According to the publication, a more reasonable decision would be to purchase foreign drums and multipurpose helicopters. However, it requires large financial resources.
Rifle "Hopak"
One of the innovations of 2015 in the world of domestic small arms was represented by the "Ukroboronprom".
The abbreviation of the hopak is decrypted as "Rifle operational portable on the basis of AK" ("Gwintevka operational portable on the base AK").
According to the publication, it is an attempt to make sniper weapons based on the Kalashnikov machine gun.
In the Concept itself, there is nothing unusual, the magazine notes. On the basis of AK there are many different samples of weapons. Yes, and the practice of creating sniper rifles on the basis of automata is not so and rare.
Another thing is the approach to solving the issue, the publication writes and adds that the rifle looks as if it was developed not in the 21st century, but in the 70s-80s of the 20th century. Almost all in her appearance Issues AK, and other elements are directly borrowed from other samples of Soviet weapons.
The rifle is calculated under the cartridge 7.62 × 39 mm, and rapidity can reach 30 shots per minute. The creators dismantled the AK gas feed tube, the Tsevier and the trunks. The silencer was put on the barrel, a fastening for installing an optical sight was put on the trunks.
The weapon also received folding bumps from the RPK machine gun, and the regular butt replaced the butt from the Kalashnikov machine gun.
Now the "hopak" is tested, and in the future it can be supplied in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. True, the prospects for large-scale production are doubtful.
Rifle on the basis of DShK
According to the publication, this is the most unusual sample of Ukrainian small arms - a large-caliber sniper rifle, created by volunteers on the basis of DShK and transferred to the armed forces of Ukraine.
The DShK machine gun was operated since 1938, and the alteration of this weapon in a sniper rifle occupied by volunteers for several months.
In general, the new product is most reminiscent of the weapon from the popular fantastic Warhammer Universe, the publication believes.
"Our argument is enough sniper rifles of high power. This is the third generation of the rifle, the descent is transferred, for example, a rear monopode appeared, which improves the accuracy, settings. Also changed the design of the donkey brake-compensator, which reduces the return and raises the part of the shooting," said About your brainchild volunteers.
The weapon is calculated under the cartridge 12.7 mm. The creators themselves talk about the "good prospects of the new complex."
Its analogue with some reservations can be called the Russian large-caliber sniper rifle of ASSK, the publication notes.
The most advanced samples of such armaments are manufactured in the States - it's about sniper rifles of the company Barrett, including the famous Barrett M82.
Such complexes can be very useful if it comes to neutralizing the unexploded ammunition or output of the elder's light armored vehicles, concludes a magazine.
The Israeli development of TAR-21 is based on a license on the Fort Vinnitsa enterprise. The rifle was designed by the "Bullap" system when the store and the trigger are located behind the trigger (unlike the traditional design of the machine - with a head-sticking front). This allows you to increase the length of the trunk, without increasing the dimensions of the weapon, which positively affects the accuracy of firing and convenience to use. The hull is made of impact-resistant plastic reinforced with metal, thanks to which it was possible to significantly reduce weight.
Formally, the production of Fort-221 on the Israeli license began in Ukraine back in 2009, but until recently, the assault rifle and its shortened modification "Fort-224" were purchased in minor quantities for SBU special forces. It is known that after the start of the conflict in the Donbass "Fort-221" appeared in service with the battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "Tornado", and the Ministry of Defense reported about the intention to buy about 500 units of such weapons.

Saxon armored personnel carriers
In the April 2016 of the British military journal "The Royal Armoured Corps Journal" (Publication of the Royal Armored Corps), Joan P. Holloway article was published about the famous old British wheel drivers of Saxon AT-105 purchased by Ukraine.
The editorial office of the "Military Observer" disagree with the conclusions and theses of the author, but we actually make an excerpt from the article virtually literally.
When desperately needing arms for self-defense, the Ukrainian Democratic Government who has become a victim of cruel hybrid war By the reviving aggressive Russia, Vladimir Putin, in 2014, for funny money, he bought through the private British mediator 75 written off from the British army of Wheel armored personnel carriers Saxon release of the 1980s, it caused numerous smile curves both in the Britain itself and in Ukraine. "Old ugly pumpkins" - such memories left Saxon about themselves from many British servicemen who compared them during the service period with the newest BMP Warrior and Challenger tanks. Ukrainians themselves considered this purchase as an obviously temporary decision before receiving more modern cars from the West.
A year after the arrival of Saxon, the assessment has changed fundamentally to Ukraine. Representative of the British Advisory Military Mission in Ukraine Major Peter Campbell (Peter Campbell), which is responsible for assisting in the development of Ukrainians of Western automotive and armored equipment, says that his Ukrainian wards are delighted with Saxon.
It is difficult for us to judge whether the Ukrainian military was delighted or simply did a good mine with a bad game that their overseas patrons are not "predinalized" with the new delivery of something "womb."
A certain "sparrow" from the 95-air-aerobile brigade of the WMS assured his British adviser that "nothing better than Saxon" Ukraine did not see, well, now for the whole life I am confident that "Saxon's half's armor is equal to an inch of the Russians."
And here is the running tests of "steep" BTR and old BRDM-2
Allegedly high in Saxon and anti-mining resistance. Several cars blew up on Mines and SVU, but the damage and human losses were insignificant ... an explosive imitation, not otherwise, and then in meat would be separated by this Saxon (approx. Military browser)

Simultaneously with the eight BMP M2A2 BRADLEY of the Lebanese Army, the first four armored car transportation machines of artillery ammunition M992 were transferred. In March 2017, it became known about the upcoming transfer of Lebanon in the order of military assistance from the presence of US Army 24 of self-propelled Gaubitz M109A5 caliber of 155 mm and ten armored vehicles of transportation of artillery ammunition M992 to them. Delivery of the rest of this technique is expected before the end of the year.
US for the first time passes abroad in order of military assistance BMP M2 Bradley from availability. Lebanon thus became the second foreign operator of the BMP M2 Bradley after Saudi Arabia, who received 400 new production machines in 1991-1994.
Back in 2006, the Government remembered that everything you need to create missiles are located on the territory of Dnepropetrovsk. As you know, during the collapse of the USSR Ukraine abandoned its nuclear potential. But due to the unfolding events on this moment There are more rumors that the country is again ready to develop missiles and other land action weapons. Thus, it is worth paying attention to the actions of the state in last yearsto determine what modern rocket weapons Ukraine can be carried out in the territory of this country.
Renewal History
In 2009, a graph appeared in the budget of the country on the allocation of funds for the creation of a combat rocket, which will be called "Sapsan". This case went a little less than 7 million dollars. The project is the creation of a multifunctional operational-tactical complex to increase the ability of the country to stand up for itself. The bulk of the funds was sent to the South Designer Bureau, which is located in Dnepropetrovsk. In the same year, the Bureau was able to protect and convey to the Government about the benefits of its development.
At that time, the Ministry of Defense fully supported the project and considered it necessary to create it. Another reason for resuming the production of rockets was the fact that by 2015-2016, that is, to the present moment, the weapon, which was in Ukraine, will become unsuitable and will be subject to write-off. Therefore, when Viktor Yanukovych took over, he supported in 2011 the continuation of the production of the Sapsan complex. And in 2012, the project was suspended due to financing. But despite such interruptions with financing, the bureau designer continues to create species of which are very diverse.
"Sapsan" now
The Director of the Bureau tried to support the development, but he still did not come out. At first, the project lost the priority of importance, and then he was lowered at all. At the moment, the only perspective awaiting Ukraine regarding this complex is 2018. It is so much time you need a bureau to fully complete the project and provide a missile complex for testing. At first it was assumed that the range of rockets will be 280 kilometers up to a pair of meters, but now the "South" offers to increase range of up to 500 kilometers.
Rocket "SCRAD"
Back in 2010 it was stated that liquid-fuel missiles "SPRAD" were completely destroyed as rocket weapons of Ukraine. They were created even during World War II. By the way, this model is considered one of the most common worldwide. Recently it turned out that nevertheless, some copies of this weapon in the country there are, and are actively used in the struggle between the East of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the country.
It is worth noting that despite the range of this weapon (the radiation of the lesion is up to 300 kilometers), it is very inaccurate, entering the goal can deviate at a sufficiently indefinite distance of up to 500 meters. At the same time weigh the unit almost ton.
Point Rocket
Ukraine still claims that it does not use these rockets. So that the rocket complex has worked, you need to know in advance the location of the enemy. Four warheads are produced with precisely given coordinates. The blow is applied depending on the established coordinates and the range on which the shooting is conducted.
The error can be from 10 to 200 meters. In this case, one warhead strikes from 2 to about 6 hectares. Rocket flight speed exceeds 1000 meters per second. This weapon can play a decisive role in any fight. But officially Ukrainians refuse to use this type of weapon. It remains only to guess whether this warhead is missing weapons of Ukraine.
Rocket "Thunder-2"
Even at the beginning of the nineties, the Dnipropetrovsk Design Bureau presented the idea of \u200b\u200bproducing the Operative Tactical Rocket "Thunder-2". Its flight range should be 500 meters. The initial name of this project is Borisphen. At that time, through this missile system, a new protective shield of Ukraine was created in exchange for outdated weapons. At that time, there were more than 200 launchers of the "SCAD" missiles and "Point-U". But taking into account the social and economic state of the country, the creation of rockets was an irrelevant issue. In addition, the army then constantly declined. Then the State Bureau "South" began to send sketches of its inventions into foreign exhibitions, where these rockets and the name "Thunder".
Military weapons and technology of Ukrainian production often attract attention at such international exhibitions. These developments assumed the creation of a high-precision weapon related to the new generation, which will be able to provide the country with a shield capable of confronting a non-nuclear attack. The rocket complex was intended to defeat stationary group and single goals. Rocket range would be from 80 to 500 kilometers. At the same time, the rockets would be sufficiently light, less than halftone. It was planned to create an on-board inertial type system equipped with navigation and guidance. The launcher would have an automatic character, and the base for it would be a chassis with a complete set of automatic starting of warhead.
Rocket "Korshun-2"
One of the priorities of the Dnipropetrovsk KB is the development of a system of rocket and reactive weapons "KORSHUN-2". This is a multifunctional missile complex, the main task of which is to provide a country shield capable of withstanding a non-nuclear attack. The project will use the rockets of the winged type that can affect ground targets. In theory, he could represent the rocket weapons of Ukraine to fully. Useful loading of rockets does not exceed the weight of half-bottom, and the flight range of the warhead is 300 kilometers. Estimated mass combat equipment Complex will be 480 kilograms. The new winged rocket will reach a flight height of 50 kilometers with the ability to ribrate the terrain, taking into account its relief.
"Ukraine". Rocket cruiser
In service of the country there is also a missile cruiser, but, unfortunately, its use is impossible. Therefore, the head of the naval forces decided to sell it. The country will be able to replenish its resources to protect water areas. The main problem of the rocket cruiser is that almost 80 percent of the vessel works through Russian equipment. This missile cruiser could well be a high-precision weapon of Ukraine. At the moment, such products are not produced on the territory of Ukraine, so the ship stands, as they say, without affairs, and cannot serve as the benefit of the Motherland.
Unfortunately, the cost of the cruiser in the market is much lower than the country spent on its creation and service, but now the state is more profitable to sell it than to continue to keep and maintain a state. He could represent a new weapon of war for Ukraine, because in the equipment of the ship, there is with an average radius of action, there are installations for anti-workers missiles, 3 batteries of thirty millionth six-solid cannons are also installed. The cruiser is equipped with a torpedo device, artillery systemAnd this is not all that it is installed on it.
Weapon
It is known that modern weapon World Ukraine will start using only since 2016. At the moment, every Ukrainian soldier has a variety of Kalashnikov machine, one of the models of TT, PM or PS pistols, as well as extensive variety in some cases, there are manual machine guns and grenade launchers. For fighters of some units are issued sniper rifles.
There are models of Ukrainian weapons and bought aggregates. Almost all this weapon remained from Soviet times. But the command is not going to stop on obsolete samples, there are already non-standard models that represent new small arms of Ukraine. They are created both within the state and abroad. Mostly among the new weapons there are sniper rifles, pistols and other units for single weapons.
Nuclear weapons of Ukraine
According to experts, it is not enough for the creation of an atomic bomb to Ukraine except that only money. After all, everything else is present in the state in extensive quantities. Resources are mined in local mines, and scientists remained and ready to resume their labor activity. In addition, in Ukraine there are carriers capable of delivering a ready-made bomb to the territory of the enemy. In addition, there is a technique necessary to create warheads. As we see, Ukrainian still exists, at least, according to experts and analysts.
Everyone is well aware that there is no money from the country to this matter, but the use of old stocks is quite possible. During the country disarmament, some of the stock of weapons disappeared. For example, there are not enough single nuclear warheads and two strategic bombers. At the end of the nineties, it was officially announced on the elimination of all nuclear missiles on the territory, but over time, more than thirty combat units were discovered in warehouses. Therefore, according to foreign specialists, if weapons are found, it is quite enough to inflict warning strikes and not only.
