I'm sure this has been cover many times before, however I still believe Udashkin has to be caught and murdered in dark alley, or at the very least spooked to death.

this presentation-su35 has one of the best camo scheme out of all current military vehicle, ive seen this type on 27s too, but with different colors, which infact looked even better. Finally russian equipment starting too look more professional and presentable.

Found this online awhile back, never got a chance to ask but I figure someone on here would know. Is this a new model of Viking pistol? Doesn't look like the older models on some of the previous pages on this forum.

RPG-32 "HASHIM" (РПГ-32 «Хашим»)

hashim? lol thats my dad name.

because it's for export , Palestina, A-stan , Iraq maybe Iran p-) ," Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatamiot 32 " is to difficult to spell for Arabs

[Bachelor]

The State Research and Production Enterprise “Bazalt” is developing the RPG-32 (“HASHIM”) multi-purpose grenade launcher system to meet the technical specifications of the Jordanian-Russian Electronic Systems Company.



The world’s first multi-caliber grenade launcher HASHIM is a new-generation weapon combining the best features and merits of grenade launcher systems of this category.
The system consists of two parts: a reloadable grenade launcher with a firing life of 200 shots min, and a set of single-use multi-caliber transportation/launch containers accommodating rounds.
The grenade launcher is lightweight and compact, its length is 360mm, the weight is 3kg. The grenade launcher is equipped with a convenient optical collimating sight to allow for efficient firing of any type of rounds up to a range of 700m. The grenade launcher can also be fitted with a night sight.
The containers are loaded with two types of rounds: an antitank one with a tandem shaped-charge WH, and an assault one with a thermobaric WH. A set of such containers makes it possible to engage all existing targets: current tanks, armored vehicles, fortifications, infantry located on the battlefield including manpower sheltered in buildings and structures, etc.
The antitank round ensures efficient engagement of current and advanced tanks. The assault round WH provides for fragmentary and cumulative effects in addition to the thermobaric one.
The grenade launcher system boasts well thought-out ergonomics characteristics to ensure rapid loading and high accuracy of aiming, as well as convenience of firing from any position (standing, kneeling, ****e).
For the first time the RPG-32 mock-up was displayed at the Stand of the Jordanian-Russian Electronic Systems Company during the Special Operations Forces Exhibition (SOFEX) held in April, 2006.
In February, 2007 the RPG-32 grenade launcher system was demonstrated in Jordan to His Majesty King Abdullah II to confirm high efficiency of firing against various armored and lightly-armored targets using shaped-charge and thermobaric rounds.
HASHIM trials demonstrated excellent results outstripping the design characteristics. The Jordanian military’s requirements were satisfied to the full extent, and no wonder that the Stand where HASHIM was displayed during the IDEX’2007 International Exhibition commanded the attention of the Near and Middle East countries delegations.

[Mousepad]

Yeah, and there is chance that russian troops will get those top notch toys? Or they have Hashim's analogy?

It was built on base of RPG-26 and 27, only reloadable as like Jordanians wanted, and we have a big stockpiles of those and no major MBT threat so why bother.

sexy pics guys O___O !

One more time a little question to TheArmenian or other Navyfreaks ;D

My father watched a documentation about the Soviet Navy (Black see fleet) on i think it was "ORT". A documentation about a mission. I´m sure it must be @ 1984 to 1987 because my father was on that mission, so i would like to watch it because i missed it x(
Maybee u have a link or better rapidshare or torrent or something.

I find some photos of 1L119 Nebo-SVU radar.

This is one of the newest russian fully digital AESA VHF surveillance radar and is capable not only to detect "stealth" planes, but even vectoring missiles on them. This radar could very improve capabilities of S-300 and S-400 in finding targets in different wave lengths.

Ups... photos are here.

I hope this time works.

I am not on expert on radars. But that does not look like an AESA to me. It may detect stealth aircraft by using very high frequency. Maybe you can provide more details.

You can find details of the Nebo-SVu on rosoboronoexport's catalogue: www.rusarm.ru (http://www.rusarm.ru)

This radar works in metric wave lengths and that's why it looks more as usual radar, but every this yagi modul is transmite-receive modul, what make this radar AESA radar.

I asked for pictures, not a link to 101 pages. I can't look through 101 pages. Ahhh but maybe if I search... anywho, thank you.

With respect that might be a better thread to ask such a question, though good luck to you. Apart from special Womens units... that weren't VDV or any other special units, and a few pictures of female medics I really haven't seen very many pictures of women in the Soviet/Russian forces outside of WWII photos. Remember that in Russia and the Soviet Union many doctors are actually women so it makes sense that many of the medical personel in Russia are also women.


I am not on expert on radars. But that does not look like an AESA to me. It may detect stealth aircraft by using very high frequency. Maybe you can provide more details.

I am no radar expert either, but stealth is generally shaping that directs reflected radar waves away from the emitting antenna. It also adds materials and surface coatings that absorb the energy too. Both methods really only work on short wave radar frequencies. A long wave radar can't determine the shape of an object so rather than deflect the signal away from the antenna the whole object reflects the signal whose wavelength is not trapped in the thin layers of coatings. A radar signal that is metres long will not get trapped and internally reflected in a layer mms thick.
The main problem with longer wave radars is the accuracy in the past has not be of a level required to guide a weapon to a target. The range and angular accuracy will create a box of airspace where the target is... but that box might be 10km by 10km by 5km high. Newer systems and OTH-B radars use special techniques to greatly improve the accuracy but while detection is possible actually using that information to guide anything but a manned interceptor to the area of the target is currently the problem.

Stealth is just another factor making it harder to intercept and defeat. Not perfect and certainly an advantage in most areas. The Russians are not spending billions of dollars for nothing.

How about triangulation? 2 or more radars (at different location) tracking the same target. Can they get a better accuracy so that a SAM can be fired at that stealthy target?

Problem is not the dismounting time - if a projectile penetrates the armor and explodes inside an enclosed space (the hull) chances are very high that all passengers would die.
You can do what you want but unless you have an automatic ejection seat you won't be able to get out fast enough if there's a rocket incoming.
Also Russian soldiers ride on top because all the cool elite guys do ;)

Garry,

Triangulation could do a great job in Comand Post, where they collecting radar pictures from more radars, specially in heavy jamming environment.

For 1L119 VHF radar, there were claims its measurement accuracy is 200 m in range, 0,5° in azimuth and 1,5° in elevation. When this radar works with ARH missiles from S-300 or S-400, it is enough, with other missiles it could work with 30N6E track radar to guide missile to target. More radars with different wave lengths could easier detect stealth planes.

Hello folks!
Because there are some experts around here I would like to ask a question regarding some VDV and MVD patches.
1. The first one one is a new shoulder patch for the interior troops (VV MVD). I know it is used e.g. by ODON. Does anybody know if it is used also by Vityas or other OSN?
2. The 2nd and 3rd are new shoulder patches of the airborne troops (VDV). Seen for example on this years victory day parade. Does anybody know if individual division and brigade patches are still used. And if so: are they used additionally or is one of the two patches I attached removed from uniform?
Thanks a lot!

[Difool]

Oops, I think that answers my first question:

Chechen SpN GRU "Vostock" or just Chechen MVD???

[Flankerman]

why should it not be flying?
its just been towed there for display.

The Russian Knights operate 6-8 Su-27s & Su-27UBs.

A few years ago they received 5 Su-35 'Super Flankers' - with taller fins and canard foreplanes.

http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/visits_pages/maks2003_files/su-35rk_02.jpg

These 'new' Su-35s were supposed to replace the 'old' Su-27s - but they have never appeared at an airshow (or at least I have never seen a published photo of them actually flying).

The problem is they are 'one-off' airframes from a prototype batch (12 airframes) and a small 'production' batch (3 airframes) - so there are problems with spare parts etc.

I suspect that the RK are going to quietly 'drop' these five aircraft from the inventory - and continue with the Su-27s.

It is interesting to see them in a photo at Kubinka though - they are on Google Earth parked up on the far side of the airbase - on their own.

I was just asking what condition they were in - or any other info that might be available.

Actually they are Su-27SM, but not 35
And you are right, they are not flying. I'm not sure about the reasons, but i've heard they are carrying some troubles with spare parts.

what kinda grenadelauncher is that on the ak74m?

it looks like an updated version of the gp30 judging by the grip, but the tube and the quadrant sight looks different.

any idea?

[Flankerman]

Actually they are Su-27SM, but not 35

Actually, they are Su-35s - also known as Su-27M.

It has tall fins and canards (amongst other things!)

The Su-27SM is a different beast - a 'small upgrade' of the Su-27 - some of which are in service at Lipetsk...... it has 'standard' fins and no canards...

http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/visits2-pages/moscow_2005_files/day_02_10.jpg

The Russian Knights received five Su-27M/Su-35s as follows.....

Su-35 bort number 703 became RK Blue 1
Su-35 bort number 712 became RK Blue 2
Su-35 bort number 86 red became RK Blue 3
Su-35 bort number 87 red became RK Blue 4
Su-35 bort number 88 red became RK Blue 5

The first two are ex-prototypes from Sukhoi, the last three (86, 87 & 88) are the three 'production' machines that were formerly at GLITS, Akhtubinsk.

Yes, my bad, Knights have Su-27M (Su-35) and Su-27SMs are in service in Lipetks's Falcons of Russia group. But, does it realy matter? :) It won't change the things, these beauties are still on the ground

look at the red star over the badge on his hat; hammer and sickle in the middle!


why weren't all hats replaced yet by the russian eagle?

When the "Moskva" was in Lisbon last January I saw the 2 types of hats, the one with the soviet-red star and the other with the double-headed Russian Eagle.

Is there no regulation regarding uniforms?

just curious...

[GazB]

why weren't all hats replaced yet by the russian eagle?

Isn't that a Tsarist symbol?

Everyone seems to associate Russia with the Soviet Union anyway, perhaps retaining the Red Star would be a good thing... unless the Russian people really got together and decided on all new symbols to represent their country. Personally I don't see Soviet Symbols as being any worse than Tsarist ones... history seems to show that the west treats Russia with suspicion no matter what symbols they have on their uniforms.

(Near where I live there is a disappearing gun mount that was set up in the mid to late 19th century to protect the Harbour. Many other similar guns were built around New Zealand at the same time and it was not to stop the Germans or the Japanese, or even the Americans... it was to stop those evil Russians. Ironically when the Russians did visit they probably did less damage than any of the other European arrivals... but good stereotypes never let things like facts get in the way of such things.)

you are right, but also the new symbols of the Russian Federation are based on the Russian Empire

but there is also the "new" version of that hat, with the russian ealge (I myself have that "emblem", the anchor with the Eagle above-instead of the red star- that I bought in an handycraft fair in Lisbon)

what I meant is that BOTH versions seem to be in use, and I was wondering why...lack of resources to produce "updated" ones????

[shaytan]

Most likely it is lack of ideology to decide - which way to go. Nothing new was offered in the past 17 years, nobody is really sure what to use.

I personally would rather use red star, than eagle. Somebody else would use eagle - and that is the same way at the top level, no unity in decision-making.

Hey don't compare them with Ecology SF, FSIN (GUIN MVD RF at that time) spetsnaz stormed Grozny in 1995 in joint squads with all other MVD units, and served like all other MVD SF in Chechnya untill they were moved under Ministry of Justce. There are several maroon berets in every regional unit, and btw the majority of these berets were given not for examination but for personal courage showed in Chechnya.

I doubt they lack the resources to do it. I suspect they lack the will to solve that "problem" at a time when other problems are far more pressing.
I think housing and maintainence and procurement of new equipment would be of higher priority than making sure everyone has the right symbol on their hats. Especially when no one seems to know that the right symbol actually should be. Leaving that in the "not important right now" basket makes a lot of sense... can you imagine the papers getting on board with a story about the armed forces spending several million roubles on making all the symbols the same and some new recruit commits suicide because he and his family have no where to live. And if they have made the wrong choice and the government decides to use different symbols... Spending money on housing for personel, or getting them the newest types of body armour make rather more sense than worrying about getting the symbols right at a time when no one really knows which symbols are the right ones anyway.

(PS hope I don't come across sounding upset or angry... or preachy... it is a sensible question and I am just giving you an answer. I have no connection to the Russian Armed forces and may be completely wrong, but right now I think they are starting to get money and need to be smart about how they spend it. Getting consistent symbols and uniforms might improve morale and make the forces more professional, but I think getting older equipment replaced and making sure the new equipment is properly looked after and the stuff still in service is also properly maintained, that the troops are properly housed and properly fed and properly trained would all come before issuing everyone new uniforms in my book... though that would be on the list.) :)

It's not quite right, to have some SU marks on your uniform you had to do some time in SU mil forces, usually u will see those on vetted guys, like this admiral on picture. For example whe had "praporschik" - NCO in our academy instructor on HtH and small arms, by the nick name "Bloody Midget" (but no one willing to live another day w'd call him by this name, even officers) so he was always wearing his original VDV blue beret with Soviet soldiers crab (not even officers) and red triangle flag, he earned in his time. He also was wearing only battle medals, without any "For exellent shoe shine". So even Airborn-recon gumbas were sh/tting bricks in his presence, and not only us mil psycologist wuusies. And i don't remember he had any trouble with academy comander btw He - major-general was a vet too, but wearing only RF insignia. So it's not a matter of regulations, it's a matter of person and his authority.

finally i defeated my laziness and uploaded all the pics from Annual camp for the students in 2-nd Guards Tamanskaya motorifle division. As i wrote before the students will receive the rank of reserve leutenants after the camp.

In my opinion these guys can only wear the uniform right, their combat and command skills are on the lowest level. Only 20% of them can really command the infantry platoon

Yes, but they will be lieutenants.

We can't compare them with graduates of military high schools, btw they are also lieutenants after the graduation. That was the question. the students are not ready to be officers even "on the paper". I know many consripts much more skilled after 1 year of service then these guys after 5 years in civil universities

That the way it works in the IDF. If you want to be a combat officer, you have to do 3 years in an active combat unit starting from private in order to get a chance to become an officer.

74 is more accurate due to smaller round, muzzle break...And should be better.

[GazB]

Just a quick one fellas, I never tested the AK-74, but I fired the AK-47, can anyone tell me which one is better? and which one is more accurate?

The AK-74 has the advantages of light recoil and high velocity flat trajectory bullet. That doesn't actually make it more accurate but if you misjudge the range to the target your round will strike closer to the point of aim than if you were using a 7.62mm calibre AK.

Out to 200-300m the difference in trajectory is negligible.

BTW did you actually fire an AK-47 or was it an AKM. An AKM has a straighter stock and so kicks upwards less than an AK-47.

Hey guys i tore through this whole thread in just over 2 days. I found it while trying to find pictures of AK-74m's for a clone im building. so i really appreciate everyone taking so much time to post all these great pics.

i just wanted to comment on some thing Roman said very early in this thread. He said something to the affect that he wished the US and Russia could work together because combined we would be unstoppable. Well i just wanted to say how much i agreed with him, i hope eventually russia and the US can stop pissing in each others coffee and work together in destroying our MUTUAL enemy in radical Islam. When i read about beslan it made my blood boil. Here in the US we are to busy being politically correct to recognize our own domestic threats, we are to concerned with britney spears and paris hilton to see that very soon we could see another beslan or sept 11 on our own shores.

You have to take into account that 2nd Guards Tamanskaya always has been an elite unit. They probably get preferential treatment in terms of equipment, uniform, new toys, best conscripts.

[JohnnyWalker]

okay thanks for not answering my question. :cantbeli:

[GazB]

is there a version of kord can use 12,7x99 nato ammunition ?

Yes there is a NATO version AFAIK.

This quote is from the website of the company that makes the KORD HMG


Around 22 countries manufacture now 12.7x99 mm NATO cartridges. On this basis, KORD machine gun has been developed in all above described variants using those cartridges. The performance and maintenance specifications of the gun did not change despite changes in the design decisions of the barrel and feeding mechanism.

Which you can check here if you want:

http://www.zid.ru/en/products/military/kord.html


No it's standart HMG UTES Kord is modern version))) all russian HMG use 12.7x109 mm I dont talk abaut KPVT)))
of course you can use NATO 12,7x99 but only in single fire regime

Utes, or NSV-T and Kord are two different weapons. Kord is Russian, NSV-T is made in the Ukraine. Both are very good HMGs, though the Kord is a newer design intended to be more accurate.


BTW. Is it true what I read that many units of Russian SF and even VDV and Federal Forces buy their own uniforms, and can really choose what pattern they want. And I know about the shoes, which is the the coolest thing on earth. I wish Delta Force would wear addidas kedi, they would look so so so much more badass.

I don't know the real answer but would assume they would get first choice of what was available when it was available, while lower priority units would be issued with what was available. If during their service they were unhappy with something that they might be able to get their hands on an alternative style proper uniform I am sure that they would be allowed to wear it instead. I doubt a Mickey Mouse T shirt would be accepted though... and of course each branch like the VDV will have great pride in their uniform so the naval infantry for example probably wont wear a different colour beret or plain white T shirt etc.

[Scar79]

okay thanks for not answering my question. :cantbeli:

Question about the purchasing of equipment? Yes, they can.

[calimero2]

Utes, or NSV-T and Kord are two different weapons.

Actually it's Utyos (= rock), not Utes. The letters ye (e) and yo (ë) are usually written as "e", hence the confusion. The same goes for Vasilyok (not Vasilek), Nikita Krushchyov (not Krushchev), bronetransportyor (not -transporter) etc. All common mistakes.

[GazB]

Actually it's Utyos (= rock), not Utes.

Yeah, I remember you mentioning that one time before, but I was replying to what someone else said and I didn't want to complicate matters by changing the spelling too.

No it's standart HMG UTES Kord is modern version))) all russian HMG use 12.7x109 mm I dont talk abaut KPVT)))
of course you can use NATO 12,7x99 but only in single fire regime
The Turks never gonna use the Kord, mate they are terrified of anything that have a KURD or KORD name on it, i know it sounds silly, but trust me mate they do think like that...p-)

Once again, I present you my monthly feature "Russian Navy for the month".

July 27th is the Navy day (last Sunday in July). So, this month's feature will be extensive. It will cover photos from the parade rehearsals, the parades, visits to foreign ports and many other photos I could gather from various sources. Thanks to all photographers.

Also a big thank you for all my fellow forum members for all the photos you have been posting and all your inputs.

I hope you have been enjoying my modest contributions so far.

Nice to see Russian ships of the next generation! Russia actualy has very little new weapons systems in use that were designed after the Soviet brakeup (or shortly before).

Only clear things was said by Navy Chief about submarines in 25 july speech.
About new ships he said too much promising words,but not named exact numbers and classes as he did about submarines.


"The construction of new-generation nuclear-powered ballistic missile and attack submarines is a top priority for the Russian Navy's development, the Navy commander said on Friday.

According to a new doctrine for the development of the armed forces, Russia will completely modernize the naval component of its nuclear triad by 2016...


"At present, we are providing sufficient financing for the creation of a fleet of a new-generation nuclear-powered strategic submarines," Adm. Vladimir Vysotsky said."

more about new subs with classes and numbers named :
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/russia/2008/russia-080725-rianovosti01.htm

also:
" "The Navy continues the construction of new strategic missile cruisers, multi-purpose submarines, frigates, corvettes, amphibious ships, trawlers, warfare vessels and service boats," Vysotsky was quoted by the Itar-Tass news agency as saying in an interview on the eve of Russia's Navy Day.

"The fleet will have more powerful ships in the future: state-of-the-art multi-purpose mine-carriers and aircraft carriers. The relevant works have already begun," he said.

Vysotsky said earlier that it is necessary for the Russian Navyto have five to six aircraft carriers in its Pacific and Northern fleets.

http://pilot.strizhi.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/048_sm.thumbnail.jpg

yes it is, used by Russian naval infantry to bombard ships around the coast, incoming landing ships, and others... can't think of the name.. gone brain ded, too much Jim Bean

[GazB]

The Turks never gonna use the Kord, mate they are terrified of anything that have a KURD or KORD name on it, i know it sounds silly, but trust me mate they do think like that..

The Russians call it Kord... the Turks can call it anything they like...


Nice to see Russian ships of the next generation! Russia actualy has very little new weapons systems in use that were designed after the Soviet brakeup (or shortly before).

Most of the systems they used at the end of the cold war were already pretty good. The main changes so far have been new lightweight guns with stealthy exteriors and the change from arm launchers for the SA-N-7 SAM to vertical launch on some vessels.

For the moment their focus is on Subs as this is part of the nuclear triad that they really need to maintain. Smaller coastal patrol and border patrol vessels is the other priority for the country so development of new weapons is really not a huge priority right now.

Their plans for carriers however will make larger support vessels necessary but they are not really essential right now. This means that work can be done in the mean time to improve sensors and weapons so that when the new vessels are ready for production the new sensors and weapons will also be ready to deploy.

The system is called Bereg but it's not the one on the picture. The truck of the pictured system doesn't seem to be of soviet origin anyway.

This is Bereg:

No. They can't even keep existing destroyers in service and 2 Kirov-crusiers seem definately dead.
Only corvettes and frigates are planned.

Hi!
As I can see a lot of great photos about russian army ships I'm now interested to see more but I would like to see photos from your coast guard. If I'm correct they use Svetlyak patrol vessels. I spent a lot time on google but there are just few photos. I'm looking for this because Slovenia will probably order one Svetyak (don't know wich project).
thanks and greeting from Slovenia:)

thanks and greeting from Slovenia:)
