Today I sent the last batch of 25 multi-purpose armored personnel carriers to the Airborne Forces as part of the state defense order, completing a three-year contract with the Ministry of Defense four months earlier. And at the same time he demonstrated new items - with the combat module "Titmouse" and others.

"The plant has put a lot of effort into the creation of armored personnel carriers, starting with the design, construction, production start-up, and then the completion of the contract. The contract allows the Ministry of Defense to equip units of the Airborne Forces with vehicles that did not exist before. These are new combat capabilities," says Alexey Losev, First Deputy Executive Director of the plant.

Recall that the first batch of airborne combat vehicles was shipped on March 3, 2015. "Shell", as the armored personnel carrier BTR-MDM is also called, is designed to transport personnel, spare parts, ammunition, fuel and lubricants. On it is installed modern complex weapons. With this technique, paratrooper units during the battle can destroy the enemy without entering the zone of direct fire damage. The machine is adapted for landing from a military aircraft transport aviation together with the crew, can move on water and on land.

According to Nikolai Grekhov, Deputy Chief Designer for Serial Production of the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, the new equipment differs from the previous class of airborne troops with an increased power engine.

“The most important thing is that it is unified with the BMP-3. This is a great advantage in the repair, operation of vehicles,” said a representative of the design bureau. “That is, they run on the same oils, on the same fuel. There are a number of other advantages. mobility."

The customers were satisfied with the work of the Kurgan craftsmen.

"The three-year contract has been successfully completed, but our cooperation with Kurganmashzavod does not end there," said Evgeny Sutormin, head of the military representation. "The next contract is already in the Ministry of Defense and will be signed in the near future."

On the same day, journalists were shown prototypes based on the BMP-3, which is designed to transport units marines and fire support for dismounted troops, combat vehicle infantry BMP-3M "Dragoon", as well as an airborne combat vehicle BMD-4M with a combat module "Sinitsa".

The first two cars - BT-3F and "Dragoon" - have already visited the army exhibition last year, but "Tit" has not yet been shown general public. It is still only prepared for preliminary tests.

“The Tit is fundamentally different from previous models in that it has a panoramic sight with a thermal imaging channel, thanks to which the crew commander will be able to see further at night, identify the enemy earlier and give target designation to the gunner,” explained Alexei Kozlov, First Deputy Chief Designer. , overcomes water obstacles without training afloat at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.Can work from water with all types of weapons.

By the way, this year 18 Kurgan vehicles will take part in the military parade in Moscow, including Kurganets, BMP-3, BMD-4M and Rakushka.

With the chief designer of JSC "Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering" (Kurgan) Sergey Abdulov.

The tracked armored personnel carrier MT-LB, developed by the design bureau of the Kharkov Tractor Plant, is already outdated and needs to be replaced. It will be replaced by the newest machine BT-3F, which is being developed under the code "Bronya". Chief designer JSC "Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering" Sergei Abdulov in an interview with TASS on the sidelines of the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2017" told what will be new armored personnel carrier for the Russian army, how the Kurganets-25 is being tested and what will change in the modernized BMP-3.

The prototype of the BT-3F armored personnel carrier developed by the Special Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (Kurgan) in the exposition of the Army-2017 International Military-Technical Forum Aleksey Panshin / TASS

- Let's start with BT-3F, this is new project so tell me more about it.

— Main area of ​​application new car- replacement of MT-LB and MT-LBU. BT-3F is a more advanced and more protected armored personnel carrier. Initially, the question of creating such a machine was raised by a foreign customer to replace the BTR-50s in service.

Nevertheless, one must understand that in our country there are also potential customers for this machine. For example, there are a number of enterprises that want to create various types of weapons based on the BT-3F - in particular, communications and control equipment, command and staff vehicles, and so on.

What is the status of this car? Is ROC open?

- We are carrying out full-fledged development work commissioned by the Ministry of Defense under the code "Bronya".

- It is known that Indonesia wants to buy a similar armored personnel carrier, are you negotiating with them?

“Negotiations are in full swing. By the way, cooperation with this country has been carried out for a long time. So, for example, our Indonesian partners have been using BMP-3F of our production for several years and are very satisfied.

Representatives of SKBM and Kurganmashzavod went to the customer's territory, where they presented this car. It is worth noting that we are not the only players in this market - there is competition, as the Indonesians are also considering cars made in other countries. But our armored personnel carrier has certain advantages over its competitors. This is due to the fact that our machines are subjected to more stringent factory tests.

- Considering that the R&D is in the interests of the military, when is it planned to complete the preliminary tests of the BT-3F?

- Factory tests are planned to be completed next year.

- The combat module "Tit" that you installed on the BMD-4M is the one from which Vladimir Anatolyevich Shamanov fired at one time?

- Not certainly in that way. He fired from a prototype, which was made, one might say, "on the knee." "Tit" was created from scratch - the terms of reference of the Ministry of Defense were issued for it, the product is now undergoing preliminary tests.

- What are the main differences from the Bakhcha-U module, which is currently installed on the BMD-4M?

- The main difference is, of course, unification with the BMP-3. Unified power unit and chassis machines, now we unify fighting compartment. In addition, our module is cheaper than "Bakhchi" and has the ability to fire at air targets through the commander's sight.

- Are there any further plans to modernize the BMP-3?

- We do not separate these products, since the further direction of unification simultaneously determines the direction of modernization. Roughly speaking, having installed the commander's panoramic sight on the Sinitsa, we automatically plan to install it on the BMP-3 as well.

Foreign customers are interested in such modernization, primarily the UAE, which evaluated this possibility of modernization, and this will be useful for our army.

- What kind of tests is subjected to "Kurganets-25"?

“As you know, we are currently conducting preliminary tests. The fact is that the machine is new, so each node and element requires its own type of testing. Sea trials are underway, the next stage is firing, then - special types tests.

- What is this?

- These are tests that determine the security of the product.

- So they will shoot at her?

- Mandatory.

— What is the range of vehicles on the Kurganets-25 platform?

- In the future, it is planned to install on this platform all types of weapons that are suitable for carrying capacity and type, as well as in accordance with the wishes of the customer. This will be a large line, so limit yourself specific list difficult.

The idea of ​​the Ministry of Defense is to make unified platforms of all classes. If we talk about wheeled ones, then this is the Boomerang, if we talk about light and medium tracked ones - the Kurganets, and if we talk about heavy ones, then this is the Armata.

- What other ROCs do you conduct?

- In principle, these are the vehicles that we talked about, plus work is also underway to improve the BMP-3 - in particular, the Ataka guided weapon system is being installed on it. In addition, work is underway to improve the security of this machine.

COMMANDER OF THE VDV EVALUATED THE CAPABILITIES OF THE BMD-4M WITH THE BMP-3 COMBAT MODULE


At the assembly production of VgTZ - the governor Volgograd region Andrey BOCHAROV, Commander of the Airborne Forces Vladimir SHAMANOV, Executive Director of VMK VgTZ Alexander KLYUZHEV.

On January 19, 2016, Colonel General Vladimir SHAMANOV, Commander of the Airborne Forces of the Russian Federation, paid a working visit to the Volgograd site of Tractor Plants - VMK VGTZ. The purpose of the visit is to get acquainted with the progress of the implementation of the state defense order and test in operation a new version of the BMD-4M with a combat module BMP-3.
As part of the technical re-equipment Russian army Airborne troops are vitally interested in the supply of BMD-4M and BTR-MDM landing vehicles, which have recently successfully passed state tests. Last year, the design documentation for these modernized landing vehicles was assigned the serial production letter.
Vladimir Shamanov inspected the Volgograd production site of Tractor Plants, where the BMD-4M is being assembled. At the Prudboy training ground, the commander of the Airborne Forces was shown running capabilities and firepower new BMD-4M with a modernized fighting compartment of the BMP-3. New sample The airborne combat vehicle is equipped with thermal and television sights, a target tracking machine, as well as a panoramic observation device for the commander, developed at the Vologda Optical and Mechanical Plant. Among the advantages of the BMD-4M with the BMP-3 combat module are high level unification with the BMP-3, which significantly reduces operating costs for its maintenance in the troops, increases maintainability, and also provides the opportunity to train crews of infantry fighting vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles according to a unified training system.

Vladimir SHAMANOV personally assessed the capabilities of the BMD-4M with the BMP-3 combat module.

After the commander of the Airborne Forces personally conducted a test drive of the updated BMD-4M, he shared his impressions with reporters: “The vehicle is extremely easy to operate, obedient and, in terms of its characteristics, certainly surpasses similar foreign-made equipment. Among its advantages are ample opportunities for detecting and maintaining a target even in conditions of insufficient visibility, firing at low-flying targets, and high mobility.”
“It is also important to note,” Andrey BOCHAROV, Governor of the Volgograd Region, noted, “that along with high performance characteristics, this landing vehicle is completely assembled from domestic components, which significantly reduces its cost. This is also a huge plus in today's conditions, when every penny counts. I think that the decision that such a machine is needed by the Airborne Forces will be made in the near future after the prototype has passed the necessary tests.
Then Vladimir Shamanov held a working meeting at the VgTZ, where they considered the implementation of the state defense order as part of the rearmament airborne troops. The commander of the Airborne Forces positively assessed the progress of work on the implementation of the state defense order at the Volgograd site of the Tractor Plants and expressed confidence that the new landing equipment would continue to enter the troops within the time frame specified by the contracts.
