New Russian combat equipment (16 photos)

According to official information, in the near future the Russian army will receive the latest combat equipment, which is currently undergoing a cycle of tests and testing. What is most interesting, the new equipment not only looks very aesthetically pleasing, but it is also very practical and safe. I suggest you read more detailed information.

More than 50 industrial enterprises, more than 10 military units and training grounds of the Ministry of Defense are involved in the creation of second-generation equipment as part of the Ratnik development work. 21 elements of equipment have been newly developed, 17 elements have been modernized. The tasks of increasing the efficiency of combat missions by military personnel by one and a half times compared to the equipment of the previous generation have been solved. General designer of equipment - Vladimir Nikolaevich Lepin.
What, first of all, distinguishes the new domestic combat ammunition?
In appearance, it is very aesthetic, no worse, but in some ways prettier than American equipment.
Combined and differentiated protection. Vital organs are covered either with special steel armor, or with cermets, or with Kevlar-type fabrics, depending on the functional tasks. Synthetic protection is widely used. The usual helmet was replaced by helmets of various configurations - again, for specific functional tasks. They will also be made from various materials: composites, titanium and steel. They will save your head in situations where the old helmet definitely breaks through.
Such an innovation has been applied as an instantaneous release of a generally difficult ammunition when falling into the water, that is, it will not drag a fighter to the bottom. And the bulletproof vest for the Navy is generally know-how. The specialists managed to combine armor protection and a life jacket. If a sailor on a watch that requires wearing body armor suddenly finds himself overboard, he will not drown, but will float on the surface like a float.
"Warrior" is literally crammed with electronics. Satellite positioning, electronic maps of the area, individual radio communications, lighting devices and night vision systems, as well as much more, will make the Russian army soldier part of a single combat system controlled by the latest network-centric technologies.
A new generation of small arms, specially adapted to this equipment, is also being created for the new equipment. A thermal imaging targeting system has been created, which has no analogues in the world, as well as a video module that allows firing from behind cover or from around a corner. In this case, data transmission from the sight to the eyecup screen is carried out wirelessly. Abroad, by the way, the transmission of data from the sight of the machine to the eye indicator is carried out by wire.
In addition to the equipment being developed in the interests of the Ministry of Defense, Dmitry Rogozin was also shown the one that is already being produced to protect the fighters of anti-terrorist special forces. These are Centurion, Sherp, Legionnaire, Gladiator. According to the developers, it is much better than what is in service with similar units abroad.
The Deputy Prime Minister was satisfied with what he saw. And the protocol that will be drawn up following the results of the meeting will no doubt speed up the process of finalizing the equipment and putting it into service with the Russian army.
