not just RADARS
The Tor-M2KM SAM variant is designed to simultaneously destroy four aerial targets. It can be mounted on either a tracked or wheeled chassis. The Tor-M2KM, based on the three-axle TATA 2036C 6x6 chassis, was displayed in MAKS 2013 Airshow. The missile system was also exhibited in DEFEXPO 2014 in India.
I also see the LPTA 3138 8X8 in the video, good to see an Indian Truck maker take on the likes on Kamaz & Ural in their own home.

I fired AK74 on a shooting range in Moscow..upping the distance from 50 yards to 80 yards in the end. very light, beautiful weapon. of the Total 80 shots fired, 38 were hit within the bull's eye & 39 were within the circle's. Only 3 missed the circles between that distance.

Fired it in single shot mode. For an assault rifle the accuracy is very good. May be will try the Dragunov this time.

IIRC, the ideal max range for AKs are 300 yards. But the initial version were not as accurate as M 16s because of AKs heavier bullets. But AK is famous for its reliability and ease of use.

AK 74 was always known for accuracy in addition to reliabilty compared to original AK 47. The reason being smaller caliber and hence easier to control.

Russia's latest heavy ICBM being developed with 15 MIRVs and a range of 17000km!
India needs to take a leaf out of Russia's book and also develop our own LR ICBMs which specifically be placed aboard our SSBNs.

New Russian ‘Sarmat’ ICBM will be like “Son of Satan”
21 September 2016 VIKTOR LITOVKIN, SPECIALLY FOR RIR

RELATED

Prototype of IBCM Sarmat to be built in May-June, testing due in autumn —...
Russia’s Sarmat 100-ton ballistic missile may be test launched in...

Test firing of ‘Sarmat,’ a new intercontinental ballistic missile first-stage engine (ICBM), which will enter service in the early 2020s, has just finished in Russia. The weapons’ tactical and technical characteristics are classified as “top secret”. We are talking about information that we were able to obtain from the developers and from what we found out from our conversations with the military experts.

I stress that currently we are conducting engineering and developing work on the missile, and by the time we adopt it, it will undergo a number of modifications and changes.

What is “Sarmat”
It is a heavy liquid intercontinental missile under the code MS-28. The total weight is 100 tons and its throw weight is 10 tons. It should enter into service in the Russian Strategic Missile Forces after 2020 and replace the P-32M2 “Voievoda”, the most difficult and formidable strategic missile in the world (SS-18 ‘Satan’ according to the NATO classification), which weighs 211 tons and has a throw-weight of 8.8 tons.

пустым не оставлять!!
New cruise missiles for Russian Navy
What will make ‘Sarmat’ different from its predecessor is not only a much lighter weight, but also the flight range. If the “Satan” flew at a distance of 11,000 kilometres, the “Sarmat” will be able to overcome a distance of 17,000 kilometres. The designers plan that it will fly to a target even in the South Pole, where no one is waiting for it, and where there is no anti-missile fence being built.

In addition, “Sarmat” will have at least 15 MIRV individual warheads rather than 10 nuclear warheads. They will be placed according to the “bunch of grapes” principle, and each of them will have a capacity of 150-300 kilotons, which can be separated from this “bunch” when it has to leave its target as programmed. It will fly to the target at hypersonic speed (in excess of 5 Mach), changing its trajectory according to the rate and height so it could not be intercepted by any missile defence system, neither the current one nor the long range one, including the one relying on the space elements.

“For “Sarmat”, say the rocket men, “it does not matter whether there is a missile defence system or there isn’t one. It will not notice it. “

How many “Sarmats” will appear
At least 154 mines will remain from the “Voievoda” (the first 154 mines will be detonated at the request of the START-I). Not all of them will have a new missile loaded, but their number should fit in the parameters of the START-3 Treaty, which provides for Russia and the United States to have 700 delivery vehicles and 1,550 nuclear warheads on them to be deployed by February 5, 2018.

Recall that every “Sarmat” should have 15 warheads, and as of today, according to the free data, Russia has 521 deployed delivery vehicles and 1,735 warheads on them. The US has 741 and 1481 respectively).

The START-3 Treaty may be extended after its completion in 2021, with both parties’ consent, for another five years. If that happens, it is obvious that at first we will probably have fewer missiles of the class of “Sarmat” than we will of “Voievoda”. Apart from “Sarmat” we have other carriers such as ground missiles and both sea, and even strategic bombers.

Russia to create new missiles to compete with U.S.
Why we need the “Sarmat”
On the one hand, the answer is obvious: to contain a likely or a potential aggressor, as well as for the replacement of “Voievoda”, which by the end of the START-3 will have exhausted its guaranteed terms spent on duty.

On the other hand, according to Major-General Vladimir Dvorkin, Doctor of Technical Sciences and Senior Researcher at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, to resolve this problem, solid mobile strategic missile complexes such as “Topol-M”, “Yars” “Rubezh” and in the long term, “Barguzin” combat rail missile system would be enough.

“Sarmat” in the mines of the “Voievoda” is a good goal for the enemy’s first attack. We will never be the first ones to strike with a nuclear missile“, says Dvorkin, “although this possibility is recorded in our military doctrine.”

Colonel-General Viktor Esin agrees with my colleague, but not entirely: “No, we are not going to be the first ones to strike with a nuclear missile. However “Sarmat” is not intended for that, but for a retaliatory strike. We can do that as long as the enemy’s missiles are flying in our direction. A likely or a potential enemy knows that. And that is why “Sarmat”, as well as other defence systems will guarantee our security.”

Confirmed: 2nd Ballistic Missile Sub Joins Russia’s Pacific Fleet
Another one of Russia’s deadliest nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines has arrived in the Pacific.
By Franz-Stefan Gady
September 28, 2016

The nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) Vladimir Monomakh has finally joined Russia’s Pacific Fleet this month, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on September 26.

“The submarine force of the Pacific Fleet has been reinforced by the newest strategic nuclear-powered submarine of project 955 The Vladimir Monomakh. The submarine has completed its voyage from the Northern Fleet to the Pacific Fleet to arrive at the permanent base Viliuchinsk, in the Kamchakta Peninsula,” according to a defense ministry press release cited by TASS news agency.

The Vladimir Monomakh is the third ship of Russia’s new Project 955 Borei-class (“North Wind”) aka Dolgorukiy-class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, designed by Rubin Marine Equipment Design Bureau and built by Northern Machine Building Enterprise in the port city of Severodvinsk. Construction of the submarine began in 2006 and it was handed over to the Russian Navy at the end of 2014.

The Russian Pacific Fleet currently operates already one Borei-class SSBN, the Alexander Nevsky, which arrived in the Pacific in 2015. Two (some sources say four) more Borei-class SSBN’s will join Russian naval forces in the country’s Far East before 2020 including an improved variant of the Borei-class, the Knyaz Vladimir, designated Project 955A Borei II, although delays can be expected.

As I noted previously, even the arrival of the of the Vladimir Monomakh had to be postponed a number of times “due to outstanding trials (some sources indicate that the delay has been, in fact, due to a failure of the Russian defense industry to deliver a full set of Bulava ICBMs) to 2016.”

The Bulava (RSM-56) intercontinental ballistic missile is what makes the Borei-class one of the Russian Navy’s deadliest warships, as I explained in The Diplomat Magazine in February:

Each Borei-class SSBN can carry from 12 to 16 Bulava (RSM-56) intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM)–a sea-based variant of the Topol-M SS-27–armed with 6-10 warheads per missile. Consequently, one submarine can carry between 72 to 160 hypersonic, independently maneuverable warheads, yielding 100-150 kilotons apiece. The Bulava missile purportedly has range of over 8,300 kilometers (5,157 miles) and is specifically designed to evade Western ballistic missile defense shields. The new ICBM is intended to be the cornerstone of the sea-based component of Russia’s nuclear triad.

The Vladimir Monomakh is now permanently based at the Rybachiy Nuclear Submarine Base in Viliuchinsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Rybachiy is home to the majority of Russia’s submarine fleet in the Pacific.

The increase of Russian naval power in the Pacific has raised concerns among U.S. defense officials. In a February 2016 testimony before the U.S. Senate Armed Service Committee, the head of U.S. Pacific Command, Admiral Harry B. Harris, explained that Russia is stepping up its activities in the Pacific. “Russian ballistic missile and attack submarines remain especially active in the region,” Harris said. “The arrival in late 2015 of Russia’s newest class of nuclear ballistic missile submarine (Dolgorukiy SSBN) in the Far East is part of a modernization program for the Russian Pacific Fleet and signals the seriousness with which Moscow views this region.”

Russian nuclear sub damaged by fire floated out after repairs
3 October 2016 TASS
The submarine caught fire on April 7, 2015.

The Oryol nuclear submarine damaged by fire in the spring of 2015 was floated out in Severodvinsk in northwest Russia after planned repairs and will re-enter service by the yearend, the press office of the Zvyozdochka repair center said on Monday.

"The Oryol has been floated out and, as stipulated by the contract, will be delivered to the Russian Navy by the end of the year," the press office said.

The Russian Northern Fleet’s Project 949A Antey-class nuclear-powered attack submarine Oryol was docked at Zvyozdochka for repairs in April 2014.

The submarine caught fire on April 7, 2015. Insulation rubber coverings in the interhull space in the stern section of the nuclear sub flamed up during welding work.

All people on board - employees of the enterprise and submarine personnel - left the submarine quickly, no one was injured. The Zvyozdochka shipyard estimated the damage as insignificant, saying the fire had been caused by the violation of safety rules.

The Oryol will be the third Project 949A nuclear sub repaired at the Zvyozdochka shipyard. The shipyard earlier repaired the same-class Voronezh and Smolensk nuclear submarines.

After the shipyard repairs, the Oryol’s service life is expected to be extended by 3.5 years.

The submarine Oryol was built at the Sevmash shipyard in northwest Russia and joined the Russian Navy on February 5, 1993. The Oryol is the third-generation multi-purpose nuclear-powered submarine.

The Project 949A Antey-class submarines displace 24,000 tons, have an underwater speed of 32 knots and a crew of 107.

These submarines are armed with 24 launchers of Granit cruise missiles with a range of about 500m km and six torpedo tubes.

V,interesting article.The leveraging of both SSBN and SSGN sub tech into a new attack boat could be what we are also plg. for our next 6 SSNs.
Though a few months old,more news of the so-called "Husky" class is coming out.

Exposed: Russia's Master Plan for Its Next Class of Deadly Submarines
Dave Majumdar
April 14, 2016

Russia’s next-generation Project Husky-class nuclear attack boats will likely be designed so that it will maximize commonality with a next-generation successor to the Project 955A Borei-class ballistic missile submarines.

“The fifth-generation submarine project is being actively discussed,” Alexei Rakhmanov, president of the United Shipbuilding Corporation told the Moscow-base TASS News Agency. “Various preliminary requirements specifications are being elaborated. It will be absolutely different from the point of view of physical fields. It will be a commonality-based submarine combining key elements of strategic and multi-purpose submarines.”

Rakhamov told the news agency that the new vessels “will be distinguished by its weapons.” Russian designer are trying to maximize commonality between the different submarine classes to reduce cost as much as possible. Indeed, Moscow seems to be following the same pattern as the United States Navy, which is leveraging as much technology as possible from the Virginia-class attack submarine to develop the new Ohio Replacement Program ballistic missile submarine. However, it is possible that Russia might go a step further and simply insert ballistic missile launch section to an attack submarine design. Indeed, the world’s very first boomer, USS George Washington (SSBN-598), was originally laid-down as a Skipjack-class attack sub before an new hull section was added in during construction.

It was previously reported that the Husky-class would come in two versions—which are being developed by the Malakhit Design Bureau—that would be based on a common hull design. The primary difference will be in the two vessels’ weapon systems—the “interceptor” variant will not feature tubes to carry long-range anti-ship or cruise missiles. That version of submarine is expected to replace Project 971 Shchuka-B (NATO: Akula), the Project 945 Sierra and the remaining Project 671RTM Shchuka-class (NATO: Victor III) boats. The SSGN variant will replace the Project 949A Antey-class. The SSGN variant will also be armed with hypersonic Zircon cruise missiles. But this report of a ballistic missile submarine variant is new.

The Russians are likely using the Project 855M Yasen-class and elements of the Borei-class as a starting point, but the new submarines are likely going to be smaller and cheaper than their Soviet-designed predecessors. Indeed, there are indications that Moscow will be extensively leveraging automation technologies developed for the Project 705 Lira-class attack submarine—better known in the West as the Alfa-class—for the new boats.

Russian analysts estimate that the next-generation submarines will displace no more than about 6,000-tons—though obviously a ballistic missile submarine variant would be much larger. That could mean that another Soviet innovation might make a comeback—liquid metal cooled reactors. The Lira and several other Soviet designs used lead-bismuth cooled reactors, which produce much more power and are much more compact than pressurized water reactors. However, the disadvantage is that liquid-metal cooled reactors cannot be shut down and require specialized port facilities.

Russia will also incorporate composite structures in its next-generation follow-on to the Project 855M Yasen-class in the 2020s. The next-generation Russian nuclear submarines may use composite structures in an attempt to drastically reduce their acoustical signatures. But while the United States has used composite materials to reduce the weight, complexity and cost of parts for the Virginia-class submarine, the Russian efforts are far more ambitious. But this wouldn’t be the first time Moscow has experimented with novel materials to build submarines. Before its collapse, the Soviet Union pioneered the use of titanium hulls to increase the hydrodynamic performance of its boats.

“These are new multi-layer composite materials. . . . Their structure and composition reduce the sonar signals that are reflected from a submarine, isolate working mechanisms from vibrations, and so on,” said Valeriy Polovinkin, an adviser to the general director of the Krylov State Research Center, in an interview with the Russian-language daily Izvestia. “The opponent just will not get the required level of signal reflected from the submarine as the composite material has a high internal loss factor, or sound absorption properties can change when vibration occurs, completely preventing the spread of vibrational energy.”

The Russians hope to use composite materials for everything from the hull coating to the dive planes, rudders, stabilizers, propellers (or pumpjet propulsors), drive shafts and possibly even the hulls themselves. If the technology works, composite materials would greatly reduce the weight of various structures, increase the boat’s reliability and reduce operating costs. That’s because composites don’t corrode and thus wouldn’t need to be painted, Polovinkin said—reducing maintenance costs. Moreover, composite structures should simplify manufacturing by reducing part counts.

The new composite materials are still in testing, but Russia will test its first composite propeller design in 2018. “This is one of our institute’s most promising projects,” Polovinkin said. “This trend reduces vibration in the blades and increases the efficiency of the screw. These various effects will help improve the ship’s acoustic signature.”

India, Russia fast-track big-ticket defence deals for Putin-Modi summit
6 October 2016 DADAN UPADHYAY, SPECIALLY FOR RIR
A set of defence collaboration agreements are being finalized for signing at the India-Russia annual summit to be held alongside the BRICS summit, on October 15 and 16.

India plans to sign several big-ticket defence deals with its traditional and strategic partner Russia during the annual summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 15-16, coinciding with the BRICS summit, in Goa. This is the third annual bilateral summit between Putin and Modi.

The defence deals, worth billions of dollars, have long been discussed between the two countries. Officials are expediting the exchanges to ensure some agreements are ready for signing at the Goa bilateral summit.

Both countries had begun negotiations on a number of defence cooperation projects during the 16th meeting of the Joint Working Group (JWG) on Indo-Russian Military-Technical Cooperation on September 7-8, in New Delhi. Reports indicate that substantive progress has been made on these projects, bringing the deals and pending projects “well on track.”

пустым не оставлять!!
India planning joint shipbuilding venture with Russia
According to sources, some of the most important stalled defence deals, may get the “green signal’ during the Putin-Modi summit. These include purchase of five S-400 ‘Triumph’ long-range air defence missile systems, worth $6 billion, an IL-78 multi-role tanker transport by India, the joint upgrading of the Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighters and Kamov-28 helicopters. The projects most likely to be finalized during the summit also include the long-awaited joint development of the fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) worth over $20 billion, and the joint production of Kamov Ka- 26 light helicopters.

India is reported to be still in talks with the Russian side on the purchase of S-400 Triumph air defence systems. It may be recalled that under the chairmanship of Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), the highest body that takes decisions on weapons purchasing, had cleared the purchase of S-400 air defence systems from Russia in December 2015. However, Russia is still awaiting the “final go-ahead” from India on the supply of the newest missile systems.

Negotiations between New Delhi and Moscow on the deliveries of S-400 surface-to-air missile systems and on some other aspects of military-technical cooperation between the two countries are in progress, Pankaj Saran, India’s Ambassador to Russia, said recently.

“There are many platforms for discussions and S-400 is one of them,” Saran said.

If the deal on S-400s is signed, it will become the biggest defence deal between the two countries since 2001, when India reached agreement with Russia to buy 140 Su-30MKI fighter jets. India might also become the second country to possess S-400s.

пустым не оставлять!!
“Open Partner” Russia has advantage in Indian defence arena
Russia signed an agreement with China in April 2015, for the delivery of the S-400s. Russia’s delivery of the cutting-edge missile systems to India, will strengthen its air defences along the borders with China and Pakistan.

Discussions on the joint development of FGFA resumed earlier this year, after they were suspended over differences on the percentage of work- share in the research and development content between India and Russia. The preliminary agreement on the joint production of FGFA was signed in 2010, and a final agreement would release about $6 billion for joint development.

Following a series of negotiations on technical details over the past few months, the two countries are now ready with a detailed work-share agreement, under which Russia will share new generation aircraft technologies as a part of a deal to produce more than 100 fighters in India.

During the two-day meeting of the JWG of the Military-Technical Cooperation in September, Russia submitted a “technical-commercial proposal” to supply India with four multi-purpose frigates equipped with sensors and weapons, including BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles. Under the proposal, out of four frigates, two will be delivered from Russia, and the other two will be built in India. There are already six frigates, including three Talwar-class and three Teg-class frigates, with the Indian Navy.

The JWG also discussed the issue of joint production of 200 Ka-226 twin engine multi-role helicopters. The deal on joint production of the Ka-226 helicopters in India under technology transfer from Russia, was signed during the visit of Prime Minister Modi to Moscow in December 2015. Sources said 60 helicopters would be supplied for assembly in India, while the remaining 140 will be manufactured in India. It is the first major project to be implemented under Indian government’s “Make in India” programme. The contract is estimated to cost over $1 billion.

Russia and India have agreed to incorporate a new company in October for the joint production of Ka-226 helicopters, and the deal is expected to be signed during the coming summit, in Goa.

пустым не оставлять!!
Who needs to down the FGFA?
Media reports in September also indicated that India is also interested in leasing a second nuclear- powered submarine from Russia. Negotiations for leasing another Akula-class submarine for about $1.5 billion, are already in the final stages. India’s only nuclear attack submarine, INS Chakra, was also leased from Russia in 2012 for 10 years for a price of $900 million.

India is interested in a different and newer class of vessel. Officials have expressed hope that a deal may be signed very soon. Russia is also assisting India in building its indigenous nuclear submarines.

The two countries have also made significant progress in the negotiations for the modernization of Su-30 MKI multi-role fighters and an agreement is planned to be signed very soon. Discussions have been going on for some time for upgrading the aircraft which was called “Super Sukhoi,” but the talks gained momentum recently in the run up to the Putin-Modi summit in Goa. The cost of the deal, in the range of $7 to 8 billion, is yet to be finalized, sources said.

The military-technical cooperation between India and Russia is as an important pillar of the “privileged, special strategic partnership.” It is not merely a relationship of a “buyer and seller,” but works on complex joint research, designing, development and production projects, with participation of the Indian public and private sectors, and licensed production in India, thereby advancing the ‘Make in India’ programme.

Russia's Next Submarines Will Be Small, Super Stealthy and Multirole?
Dave Majumdar

Russia’s next-generation submarines will be smaller and stealthier than Moscow’s current fleet, but officials from the Rubin design bureau contend that the Kremlin should invest in specialized designs rather than multirole boats.

Russian designers believe that the concept of a modular submarine design is possible, however a multirole boat would be an expensive jack-of-all-trades but a master of none. The Russian philosophy stands in stark contrast to the U.S. Navy’s doctrine of building multirole submarines such as the Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine, which was designed to perform almost every mission with the exception of strategic nuclear deterrence.

“The designers’ thought is never restricted. Everything can be combined and matched. Technically this is possible. But will it make sense?” Igor Vilnit, general director of the Rubin design bureau, told the Moscow-based TASS news agency. “The modular principle is reasonable, but the way I see it, it is largely applicable to specific technical means and equipment, some devices, radio electronics and power production. Each submarine has its own task. Creating a ship capable of coping with a hundred tasks while in reality it will be performing just one function will be costly and ineffective.”

The Russians are currently working on a next-generation attack submarine under the project name Husky. The new attack submarine is reportedly being developed in two variants—one version would be an “interceptor” similar in concept to the Project 705 Lira (NATO: Alfa-class) or Project 945 (NATO: Sierra-class) submarines while the other would be guided-missile submarine (SSGN) to designed to replace the Project 949A Antey-class (NATO: Oscar II).

One of the reasons that the Russians are already looking at next-generation replacement attack submarines is because the new Project 885 Yasen-class, while extremely capable, is also extremely expensive. Moreover, construction of the eight planned Yasen-class boats is taking a long time—as Center for Naval Analyses senior research scientist specializing in Russian military affairs Dmitry Gorenburg had earlier told The National Interest. Because the Yasen-class is so expensive and takes so long to build, the Russians might need to look at alternative designs.

The Russians probably have a good chance of recapitalizing their fleet if they are able design a cheaper and more producible submarine design. “I can't see any reason why not,” said Michael Kofman, a research scientist specializing in Russian military affairs at Center for Naval Analyses. “Dmitry and I have been arguing for a while that the Yasen-class is too expensive to be realized past those laid down and they are unlikely to complete anymore. It is simply not a submarine that can be produced in suitable numbers.”

But in addition to recapitalizing its nuclear submarine fleet, the Russians have to design a successor to the Kilo-class—which is still an excellent boat despite its age. The Russians’ first attempt to replace the Kilo with the Project 677 Lada-class submarine proved to be a dead-end—Moscow simply failed to design a practical Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system. “Russia also needs to figure out a workable diesel-electric design to succeed the 636.3, and while they have several prototypes—likely four of which will ultimately become their own class of submarine—it’s unclear what the ultimate decision is on AIP,” Kofman said.

The Russians are currently working a design called the Kalina to succeed the Kilos. It is possible that Moscow could equip the new boats with an AIP, however the Russians might also simply adopt extended capacity battery packs for its new boats.

More news of new Ru subs laid down.
Russia Lays Down 3 New Nuclear Submarines
Russia has begun construction of three new subs including its latest ballistic missile nuclear submarine.

By Franz-Stefan Gady
October 07, 2016

Three new submarines were officially laid down at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk, a port city on Russia’s White Sea a few weeks ago, according to Russian media reports. Laying down formally kicks off a ship’s construction with a ceremony.

The three submarines include the second improved variant of the Borei-class of nuclear powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), the Project 955A Borei II Knyaz Oleg slated to join Russia’s Pacific Fleet in 2018-19; a new Yasen-class multi-purpose attack nuclear submarine (SSGN), the Krasnoyarsk with an unknown completion date, and a mysterious new sub known as Khabarovsk also identified as Project 0951.

nder the state arms program endorsed by you and in compliance with the schedule set by the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sevmash laid down three new atomic submarines – the Knyaz Oleg, which is the fifth Borei, the Khabarovsk and one more Yasen, the modernized project 885M,” the director general of Sevmash, Mikhail Budnichenko said during a videoconference session with Russian President Vladimir Putin in late July, TASS news agency reports.

The most intriguing and least known about sub is the mysterious Project 0951 Khabarovsk. As I noted elsewhere (See: “Revealed: Russia’s Top Secret Nuclear Torpedo”), one of the first times that plans for the construction of the Khabarovsk were revealed occurred in November 2015, when Russian state-run television station accidentally aired top secret plans of a new long-range nuclear torpedo called Status-6. (Some sources indicate that the leak was intentional.)

According to a slide filmed by the television crew, “oceanic multi-purpose Status-6 system” is designed to “destroy important economic installations of the enemy in coastal areas and cause guaranteed devastating damage to the country’s territory by creating wide areas of radioactive contamination, rendering them unusable for military, economic or other activity for a long time.”


I explained:

With a diameter of 1 meter, the “robotic mini-submarine” (or torpedo) would apparently be launched by either a Project 09852 sub – based on the 949A Oscar-class boat—or a Project 09851 submarine, laid down in December 2012 and July 2014 respectively and with unknown completion dates.

Once completed, both submarines will have the capability to carry smaller unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV): The Project 09852 sub will be able to carry up to six torpedoes, whereas a Project 09851 boat will be capable of fitting up to four UUVs.

There have also been Russian media reports that a Project 09851 boat was laid down in 2014. Another Russian source, also referring to a Project 09851 laid down in the middle of 2014, claims that the new sub will likely be commissioned by 2020. It is unclear whether all these reports speak of the same submarine, or whether more than one Project 09851 sub was laid down in the last two years.

Russia’s Deadliest Subs to Receive New Heat-Seeking Torpedos
The Russian Navy expects the new weapon to be operational by 2017.

By Franz-Stefan Gady
June 23, 2016

Russia’s two newest classes of submarines–the Yasen-class multi-purpose attack nuclear submarine (SSGN) and the Borei-class (“North Wind”) nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN)—are expected to be fitted with a new deep-water torpedo by 2017.

According to TASS news agency, the advanced Futlyar deep-water torpedo is currently undergoing state trials. The new torpedo is an advanced variant of the533-milimeter Fizik-1 homing torpedo that has recently entered service with the Russian Navy, a source within Russia’s defense industry told TASS.

“The new variant of the torpedo is undergoing state trials at Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan, which are due for completion later in the year. If the torpedo passes the tests, it will enter service and its full-scale production should begin in 2017,” the source said.

“The Futlyar will also be supplied with an improved homing system with an extended underwater target lock-on range. It will retain the baseline model’s range, speed and maximum launch depth – 50 km, over 50 knots and 400 m respectively,” the source added.

Once in full-scale production, the Futlyar heat-seeking torpedo is slated to replace the Fizik-1 and Fizik-2 torpedo variants. Full-scale production of Fizik torpedoes has only started about a year ago and it unclear how many submarines have been fitted with the weapon system.

The Futlyar torpedo, developed by St. Petersburg Research Institute of Marine Engineering, will also have the capability to be controlled from the submarine once launched.

Cutting-Edge MiG-35: Welcome to Russian Aerospace Forces!

19.03.2016(updated 16:59 19.03.2016) Russia's newest MiG-35 warplane is knocking on the Aerospace Forces' door. Engineers are putting the finishing touches to the multipurpose plane that will augment Russia's military power with new capabilities very soon. Let's have a closer look at this fighter of the future. The MiG-35 is able to detect and destroy aerial, ground and surface targets, the manufacturer's CEO told journalists. "It has a necessary set of avionics enabling the use of all means of currently available air weapons against aerial, ground and surface targets." A deep development of the MiG-29 family, the advanced jet can simultaneously lock on to 10 targets and can engage up to six of them. In contrast with its predecessors, the MiG-35 made significant evolutionary steps: • It carries more weapons; • Flight costs 2,5 times less; • Pilots use helmet imaging systems; • The plane carries more fuel and can participate in air refueling as both "recipient" and "donor"; • The MiG-35 is equipped with a very sophisticated electronic warfare system and an anti-missile system; • It has a range of the 5th generation aircraft characteristics etc. "We attribute the plane to the 4th++ generation which means it has some features of the 5th generation aircraft such as stealthiness and multitasking functionality," Sergei Korotkov added.

Russia’s MiG to Develop Fifth-Generation Jet Fighter The jet is armed with a 30mm gun, air-to-air, air-to-surface, anti-ship, anti-radar missiles, rockets, bombs and aerial mines. The JSC Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG expects to sign a contract on the delivery of the planes later in 2016. The aircraft will enter the Aerospace Forces' ranks in 2018-2020. The MiG-35 aircraft was first presented internationally during the Aero India 2007 air show. Another Russian 4th++ generation combat plane, the supermaneuverable Su-35, is already being supplied to the Aerospace Forces and has even participated in Moscow's counterterrorism campaign in Syria.

Hypersonic weapons in Russia by early 2020s
30 September 2016 NIKOLAY LITOVKIN, RIR
Scientists working on Russian missiles are confident the new missiles will be able to attain speeds of almost 4,000 mph by the 2020s. The new technology is based on systems used in the warheads of the Yars and Rubezh strategic missiles.

Hypersonic BrahMos prototype likely in 2024

Russia’s Tactical Missiles Corporation plans to create a weapon that would be able to hit targets at hypersonic speeds by the early 2020s, according to a statement by Boris Obnosov, the corporation’s general director.

The corporation is now working on this project with scientists from the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Advanced Research Foundation under the Military-Industrial Commission in a bid to produce a missile capable of reaching Mach 5, or around 3,800 miles per hour – five times the speed of sound.

Progress so far
Viktor Litovkin, a military specialist for the TASS news agency, told RIR that some Russian missile systems can already attain hypersonic speeds as they approach their targets.

Russia to create new missiles to compete with U.S.
“These are warheads of the Yars and Rubezh long-range missile systems which, in the final stretch of their flight, start manoeuvering at a hypersonic speed to overcome the enemy’s missile defence system. The warhead of the Iskander-M short-range missile has the same capability too,” Litovkin explained.

He said Russia does not, at present, have a missile that can maintain a hypersonic speed throughout its flight.

Key difficulties
According to an RIR source in the defence industry, the main difficulties in building the new weapons lie not only in developing an engine that would be able to work at a hypersonic speed over a long time, but also in the missile’s control systems.

“At a speed of Mach 5, a cloud of plasma develops around the object that does not let radio beams through. That is why, if the missile deviates from its trajectory or there are any other problems during the flight, operators are not yet able to rectify the situation remotely,” the source explained.

He went on to add that the technical basis for (and research into) hypersonic weapons dates back to Soviet times. However, after the breakup of the USSR, all research was abandoned in the 1990s and money for developing the new weapon began to be allocated quite recently.

The biggest progress in development of hypersonic weapons has been made by the Americans.

“The U.S. has built the Х-51 Waverider spacecraft, which managed to maintain a speed of 6,250 kilometres per hour [3,883 mph] for four minutes. However, those were one-off tests, without a warhead, or a guidance system. How the rocket will behave in full gear is still a question,” said the analyst.

Tactical Missiles Corporation

The corporation was set up in 2002, bringing together 32 enterprises specializing in the production of high-speed air-launched guided missiles.

The corporation also makes guided aerial bombs of the KAB-500Kr type, torpedo armament (Shkval-E project), guided missiles for air defense systems, space rocket equipment and electronic warfare systems. It is 100-percent owned by the Rosimushchestvo federal property agency.

The Tactical Missiles Corporation was the only Russian defense industry enterprise to show an increase in revenues in 2015 compared with 2014.

It is one of the seven Russian companies on the list of the world’s 100 major arms suppliers compiled by DefenseNews.

In 2015, the corporation had a revenue of $2.4 billion and occupied 37th place on that list.

Russia's Pantsyr-SM air defence system ready in two years

Nikolai Novichkov, Moscow - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
17 October 2016

Russia will begin production of a new version of its Pantsyr (SA-22 'Greyhound') self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and missile (SPAAGM) system in about 2018, Vladimir Popov, director general the Shcheglovsky Val Company (a subsidiary of the High-Precision Systems Corporation), told journalists during a site visit.

"The design phase is over. This year or in early next, we will begin to make prototypes," he said. The new Pantsyr-SM is said to have a significantly enhanced detection and engagement range over its predecessor and is fitted with a new active phased array radar that extends detection and identification from 40 km to 75 km. Like the Pantsyr-S2, the Pantsyr-SM is expected to have a bi-directional rotating array radar.

Additionally, the Pantsyr-SM's engagement range is expected to be 40 km, double the 20 km range of its predecessor. This implies the system will use a new, larger missiles. Components of the new anti-aircraft system are undergoing test trials.

According to Popov, a new KAMAZ 8x8 truck chassis is almost ready for the new systems, while one of its versions will be mounted on a tracked chassis.

Meanwhile, Dmitry Konoplyov, executive director of the Instrument Design Bureau (KBP, another subsidiary of the High-Precision Systems) said that the Project 11442M (Kirov-class) nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov will be the first Russian Navy vessel to receive a navalised version of the Pantsyr, known as Pantsyr-M.

"The system will start fielding next year. The Admiral Nakhimov is the first warship earmarked for it," he said, adding that the cruiser would be fitted with six Pantsyr-M systems.

The Pantsyr-M is expected to feature a quad-directional static radar array, and will use both the same missiles as the land-based Pantsyr-S1/Pantsyr-SM and the future Hermes-K missile for use against small surface targets, and slow-moving aircraft like helicopters. Russia is planning for the Pantsyr-M is to replace the Kortik/Kashtan (SA-N-11 'Grison') air defence system in due course.

Russia developing mach 12 hypersonic missiles that would be boosted by new RS-28 Sarmat ICBMs
The Sarmat could be armed with Project 4202, a hypersonic glider which, after separating from its ICBM launch vehicle, will be able to accelerate to speeds between Mach 7 and Mach 12, acting like a hypersonic cruise missile, and capable of maneuvering to overcome any existing or prospective missile defense to reach its target.If Russia was successful with creating Mach 12 boost and glide missiles then state-of-the-art US missile defense weapons would absolutelyimpotent against it. Also currently planned anti-missile systems which the United States has not yet begun to develop would also be ineffective.Prototype tests are being carried out using obsolete RS-18B Stiletto silo-based ICBMs, which serve to boost the hypersonic missiles. After Item 4202 is made operational it will be placed both on new RS-28 Sarmat ICBMs as well as on advanced developments. It is expected that this will occur in the period from 2020 through 2025. Production of 20 hypersonic warheads is planned in the first batch. They will make upkeep of the American missile defense system senseless. Three hypersonic nuclear warheads will be mounted on each Sarmat

We're not going to get an Ru ICBM with such hyper warheads.They're meany solely for the US and NATO...free of charge ! :rotfl:

The most we can expect is a hyper-BMos and that tech in the JV will be limited to that specific missile.I'm sure our boffins developing our desi strat. missiles have their own agenda and tech capability for our specific requirements to take care of China and Pak.

MTCR benefit :: Brahmos Missile will now have a 600-km range covering every corner of Pak
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
By: ET
India's offensive capacity, especially against Pakistan, is set to take a huge step forward with New Delhi and Moscow deciding to jointly develop a new generation of Brahmos missiles with 600 km-plus range and an ability to hit protected targets with pinpoint accuracy.

This range enables these missiles to strike anywhere within Pakistan. That Russia can work with India to produce these missiles is thanks to New Delhi joining the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) in June this year.

MTCR guidelines prohibit its members from transfer, sale or joint production of missiles beyond 300-km range with countries outside the club.

Brahmos' current range is 300 km, which makes it difficult to hit targets deep inside Pakistan. India has ballistic missiles with longer range than the next generation Brahmos. But Brahmos' ability to take down specific targets, even well-protected ones, makes it a potential game changer in any conflict with Pakistan. Ballistic missiles are powered for the initial half of their flight path and they use gravity to complete their trajectory. But cruise missiles are powered throughout.

This makes a cruise missile like Brahmos similar to a pilot-less fighter jet that can be maneuvered in flight, programmed to attack targets from any angle and evade enemy missile defence systems. Brahmos can, for example, take down terror camps or hideouts even in mountain areas, where natural protection makes any other offensive action, bar crossing the border, ineffective.

The Indo-Russian agreement, signed during the bilateral summit at Goa, also includes development of missiles with smaller range that can be fired from submarines and aircraft. The deal was not made public at the summit — where other projects like sale of frigates and the S-400 air defence system purchase — were announced. Vladimir Putin told journalists from his country that the missile deal has also been signed. "We have also agreed to improve the Brahmos missile, which will be land, air and sea launched. We will also work to increase its range. And we will work together on a fifth-generation aircraft," Putin said, without sharing details.

ET spoke with several senior Indian officials involved in negotiations. They confirmed that a pact to double the range of the Brahmos missile was finalised. These officials spoke on the condition they not be identified. They also said producing longer-range Brahmos will not be tough because no fundamental reworking is involved in increasing the range. India, post its MTCR membership, is also pursuing export options for its 300-km range Brahmos. Vietnam has expressed interest in the missile system.

Quick noob question on the Mi-28H, there's a pitot tube below the main cannon, would the pipe below it be a refuelling probe? Are there any Gunships out there with probes like this? I have seen pictures of Apaches and Super Stallions with these probes for extension of the mission range.

Negative Commander.
its not a refuelling probe. The one you saw on the super stallion is massive, and extends beyond the range of the main rotors.

Russia's Super Secret Spy Submarine Returns to Sea
Earlier this month, a Russian ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) called Podmoskovie slipped out of its pier at Severodvinsk for the first time in 16 years.But BS-64 Podmoskovie—which was commissioned in 1986 as a Project 667BDRM Delfin-class (NATO: Delta IV) SSBN designated K-64—is no ordinary boomer. Over the course of nearly two decades, the massive submarine was modified to conduct special missions. But exactly what those missions might be remains somewhat of a mystery. Indeed, externally, Podmoskovie looks very different from a standard Project 667BDRM boat aft of the sail and she appears to have had her hull lengthened.Podmoskovie is able to launch and recover unmanned underwater vehicles, which dock on top of the submarine where the missiles used to be located. One such unmanned submarine is the Klavesin-1R—which was developed by Russia’s Institute of Marine Technology. The unmanned submarine is able to dive to depths as great as 6000m—or nearly 20,000ft. The unmanned vessels are equipped with a variety of high and low frequency sonars.Podmoskovie is also thought to be able to host the secretive AS-12 Losharik—a nuclear-powered mini-submarine designed for intelligence and special operations missions at extreme depths—perhaps as great as 20,000ft. While very little is known about Losharik, the vessel is believed to be tasked with tapping undersea cables among its various other missions.
Additionally, Podmoskovie will almost certainly host the Project 1851 Paltus and Project 1910 Kashalot nuclear-powered special operations mini-submarines. Like Losharik, the Paltus and Kashalot are thought to have both a research and military role. However, due to the level of secrecy surrounding these programs, there is very little information available about these vessels.It will take some time for Podmoskovie to complete its various sea trials, but all indications suggest that she will be a capable addition to the Kremlin’s arsenal when she returns to operational service. Podmoskovie is expected to joint the Russian Northern Fleet’s 29th Submarine Brigade when she rejoins the fleet.

Russian Pacific Fleet reinforced with newest nuclear-powered submarine Russia, India discuss upgrading Varshavyanka submarines

The fifth non-nuclear submarine of project 636.3, The Veliki Novgorod, has joined the Russian Navy, a TASS correspondent reports from the flag-hoisting ceremony at the Admiralty Shipyards in St. Petersburg, attended by the Russian Navy’s Deputy commander, Vice-Admiral Alexander Fedotenkov and the shipyards’ CEO Alexander Buzakov.

"The Veliki Novgorod submarine has been through all government certification tests. All of the previous submarines in that series built for the Black Sea Fleet have confirmed the expected parameters, too," Buzakov said.

The Veliki Novgorod is the fifth in the group of six submarines of project 636.3 (Varshavyanka) built for the Black Sea Fleet. The first two - The Novorossiysk and The Rostov-on-Don were delivered in 2014, and another two, The Stary Oskol and The Krasnodar, in 2015. By the end of this year the Russian Navy will have the sixth submarine in the series, The Kolpino. The flag-hoisting ceremony is due November 25.

Another six Varshavyanka subs will be built at the Admiralty shipyards for the Pacific Fleet. The contract was signed at the Army-2016 forum near
