Концерн «Калашников» представил на «Армии-2016» автоматы Калашникова АК-12 и АК-15

Концерн «Калашников», входящий в Госкорпорацию Ростех, в рамках Международного военно-технического форума «Армия - 2016» продемонстрировал 5,45-мм автомат Калашникова АК-12, а также 7,62-мм автомат АК-15, с доработанной по результатам государственных испытаний конструкцией. Оба автомата в настоящее время проходят опытно-войсковую эксплуатацию в подразделениях Минобороны РФ.
Образцы представленных на выставке автоматов отличаются от предыдущих версий как по конструкции ряда важных узлов, так и по внешнему виду. Конструкция автоматов была пересмотрена для устранения ряда выявленных в ходе испытаний недостатков и удовлетворения рекомендаций заказчика. В результате доработок существенно повышена технологичность изготовления.
Автоматы сохранили традиционную для автоматов Калашникова газоотводную схему автоматики с запиранием канала ствола поворотом затвора и могут использовать магазины от предыдущих поколений автоматов семейства АК соответствующих калибров. Газоотводный узел, газовая трубка, ствольная коробка и ствол существенно изменены в целях повышения кучности стрельбы во всех режимах.
Предохранитель-переводчик режимов огня расположен справа и имеет 4 положения (предохранитель — автоматический огонь — очередь 2 выстрела — одиночные), а также имеет дополнительную «полочку» под указательный палец, обеспечивающую более удобное переключение режимов огня без изменения хвата стреляющей руки.
АК-12 и АК-15 оснащены планками Пикатинни на съемной крышке ствольной коробки и ствольной накладке, что обеспечивает удобную и повторяемую установку дневных и ночных прицелов различных типов.
На цевье снизу также имеется дополнительная планка Пикатинни для установки дополнительных аксессуаров. Автомат оснащен складным, регулируемым по длине прикладом из ударопрочного пластика. На стволе установлен дульный тормоз-компенсатор, кроме того, возможна установка штык-ножа или быстросъемного глушителя. Под стволом возможна установка 40-мм гранатомета ГП-25 или ГП-34.

Yep, actually the Russians are building twelve "test articles" to populate a Test and Evaluation Squardron, this is quite a step away from PAK-FA, and I would imagine the Russians are hoping the Indians step up with some cashola to make this project "MOTATE", or else it won't.???

I believe Deino's source had stated that 6-2, the first of the "-2 upgrade birds had flown this spring" but no photo confirmation on that, as far as I know??? I am supposing the 12 will all be new build -2s, but hey, there are no guarantees on anything with the Russians?

One Squadron of PAK FA for Russia in 2017

The Russian Defence Ministry announced that it will buy at least one full squadron of PAK FA in 2017. According to Russian Deputy Minister, Yuri Borisov, Sukhoi could start mass production of its Sukhoi T-50 (PAK FA) in 2017.

reported that Borisov announced the news at the Army-2016 military forum near Moscow.
“Mass production of the PAK FA will start in 2017, according to the plan. We will buy at least one squadron of these aircraft in the first batch.”

KRET, Russia’s top manufacturer of electronic warfare equipment, is upgrading its Okhotnik (Hunter) target sight optoelectronic system so it can be fitted on the fifth-generation fighter aircraft.
“Okhotnik is planned to be integrated with the target sight optoelectronic systems of the fixed-wing/rotor-wing aircraft and other sophisticated military equipment. The system is intended for the electronic stabilization of the images and the detection/tracking of targets in automatic mode. Okhotnik increases the range of target acquisition in harsh environment by 50-100%,” a KRET`s spokesperson

The Sukhoi T-50 (PAK FA) is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft and is the equivalent of the American F-22 Raptor. According to the

, “the PAK-FA and Raptor are close enough in capability, a small number of T-50s will not suffice to radically challenge the Raptor’s reign—or even the F-35’s.”
Unless Russia mass produce the PAK FA, it will most likely not have a significant effect on the battlefield. That said, if Russia employs the PAK FA in countries such as Syria, it will enable its Air Force to greatly improve its combat performance against terrorist targets.

It is a huge amount of money, but it will use up a lot of Chinese steel. Question is, Chinese (same as Europe) gauge or Russian gauge track?


Russia has considerably increased the number of the high-speed railway projects to be built on its territory with the participation of China, the world’s high-speed railway (HSR) leader, both in technology and operations.

Amongst a number of recently signed projects is the construction of an ambitious high-speed rail link from Moscow to Beijing that would cut the journey from six days on the Trans-Siberian Railway to just two. The project would cost more than $230 billion, run over 7,000 kilometers (4,350 miles) in length and take in Kazakhstan along the route.

Within the project is a high speed rail between the two largest cities in Russia’s Urals, Chelyabinsk and Ekaterinburg. This section will form part of the high speed network connecting Moscow and Beijing.

China will take a role in financing the railway’s construction, as well as engaging in geological research and improvement of the economic structure.

Another section is the Samara-Togliatti railroad in Southeastern Russia to be constructed by the China Railway Corporation. China Railways might also finance the construction of the high speed track. There is already a railway connecting Samara and Tolyatti, but it was built a long time ago. There are two variants within the framework of this project: either to modernize it and speed up its carriages up to 200 kilometers per hour, or to build an entirely new one which could travel at speeds of 300 kmh. The railroad is slated to be complete by the 2018 World Football Cup, which will take place in Russia.

A high speed rail line will also link Russia’s Far East to China. The 250 kmh link could cut the current five-hour car journey to just an hour or so by train, and help drive new business and tourism between the two countries.

Earlier in April reports suggested that China had agreed to provide a 400 billion-ruble ($6.2 billion) loan for Russia's Moscow–Kazan High Speed Rail Project. The project will be managed as a public-private partnership through a concession, while the key points of the concession agreement are set to be agreed on by the end of the year. As part of the agreement, China will also provide 53 billion rubles ($800 million) in equity financing, the statement added.

The Moscow–Kazan High Speed Rail Project was first proposed in 2009, arguing that the project will spur innovation and increase population mobility. In 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the decision to go ahead with the project. China expressed initial interest in 2014, proposing that the project to become the initial stage of connecting Moscow to Beijing, with a view of extending it further into Europe, eventually reaching London.

The upcoming visit of Russian President Putin to China in June is likely to bring more joint projects within the current framework of bilateral cooperation.

Russian Company Uralvagonzavod has developed upgrade kit for T-80BV/U main battle tank.
07.15.2016 05:25:43

Russia`s Uralvagonzavod scientific-research corporation has developed an upgrade kit to bring the ageing T-80BV / T-80U main battle tanks (MBT) to the level of modern Western MBTs, such as Leopard 2A5 / A6 and M1A1 / M1A2 Abrams, according to a source in Russian defense industry.

"The modernization of previously manufactured MBTs is the recent tendency of the tank-building industry. It provides point enhancement of the tank`s specifications and extends its service life. The massive operational deployment of tanks, the tendency to the reduction of tank forces, harsh economic conditions, and the cuts of the budgetary funds are the main prerequisites for the upgrade of MBTs in service. In such context, T-80BV is no exception," the source said.

According to him, the Omsktransmash Company (now a subsidiary of the UVZ Corporation) was producing T-80B tanks in 1979-1991. The manufacturer was gradually enhancing the tank`s specifications with T-80BV and T-80U/T-80UD being the most sophisticated variants. "At present, Russia`s Ministry of Defense (MoD) has several thousands of T-80BV/U tanks, mostly in store. The combat readiness of T-80-family tanks issued to armour units is getting worse, as the manufacturing of 1A33 fire control systems (FCS), 9K112-1 anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), autoloaders, wind sensors, radio stations, and fire-extinguishing systems was ceased several years ago. To bridge this gap, Omsktransmash has developed the upgrade kit for T-80BV/U tanks. It will significantly increase the tank`s firepower and combat capabilities, as well as the level of its unification with T-72B/B3 MBTs. The modernization is going to save the MoD`s funds," the source emphasized.

The upgraded T-80 tank will receive Sosna-U gunner`s sighting system that incorporates optical sight, laser rangefinder and thermal imager, as well as ATGM control channel. Sosna-U increases the vehicle`s firing range at day and night to 3,300 m. The integrated laser rangefinder has a maximum range of 7,500 m. The tank`s commander also can fire the main gun, using gunner`s sighting systems in the duplicated mode. Sosna-U is complemented by the modified 1P67 optical sight that is used in emergency cases.

The upgraded T-80 MBTT is up-armoured with the Relikt explosive reactive armour (ERA) developed by NII Stali scientific-research institute (a subsidiary of the Tractor Plants concern). The Relikt ERA is based on the 4S23 high-sensitive explosive element that provides a high level of protection against Western armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds, such as DM53 and DM63 developed by German Rheinmetall company. Hence, Relikt has several advantages over Kontakt-V ERA system integrated with T-90A and T-80U MBTs. The upgraded T-80 has also received a quick-operating fire-extinguishing unit and the PKUZ-1A collective protection system.

The driver`s seat of the enhanced T-80 MBT is equipped with modern TVN-5/TVN-5M (M stands for upgraded, Modernizirovanny) binocular night vision googles. Omsktransmash has enhanced the vehicle`s command controllability, having integrated the new R-168-25U-2 VHF radio station and upgraded INTERCOM system with it.

The upgraded T-80 tank has retained 125mm 2A46M/2A46M-5 smoothbore tank gun that can fire APFSDS, high-explosive (HE) and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, as well as ATGMs.

According to the Military Balance 2016 report issued by London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), Russia`s Armed Forces still operate 450 T-80BV/U main battle tanks (3,000 more T-80B/BV-U tanks are stored). Hence, the upgrade of the operational T-80-family vehicles is going to significantly increase the combat capabilities of Russian armour units.
