At the last forum "Army-2022", the Russian combat module "Hunter" with the installed stabilization system was shown for the first time. The module is equipped with a gyroscopic system that provides stabilization in two planes, and in the marine version of the module - in three. The module has a system for diagnosing the health of the system, equipped with a day camera, range finder, thermal imager and automatic target tracking. Armament module 12.7 mm machine gun "Kord". The television channel of the module's sight allows detecting an armored personnel carrier-type target at a distance of up to 5,000 meters, and a thermal imaging channel at a distance of up to 2,500 meters. The module's laser rangefinder measures distances up to 10,000 meters. The weapon station can be used as a primary or secondary weapon system for tracked and wheeled military vehicles.
The reconnaissance optical-electronic complex "Ironiya-M" entered the special forces of Russia in 2015. The multifunctional optical-electronic complex is designed to search for the enemy and conduct surveillance of the area. The main element of the complex is an optical-electronic device weighing about 3.2 kg. The complex is equipped with a video camera, a thermal imager and a laser rangefinder. The signal from all optical devices is transmitted to a miniature monitor installed in the eyepiece. The Ironia-M complex allows you to detect equipment at a distance of up to 7 km, a thermal imager can detect a person at distances of up to 2.5 km. The Ironia complex can transmit photographs or a video signal over a closed radio channel at a distance of up to 10 km. The calculation of the observation complex consists of two people, the second person is a computer operator.
Shooting of the Russian coastal missile system Bastion with an Onyx missile. Crews of the Bastion coastal missile system of the Russian Pacific Fleet, for the first time, fired missiles at a sea target with the Onyx anti-ship cruise missile. The Bastion missile system is on round-the-clock duty on the island of Matua, the Greater Kuril Ridge. The Bastion complex was put into service in 2010 and provides coastal protection at a distance of more than 600 km. The time to bring the complex into combat readiness from the traveling position is less than 5 minutes. From 2022, it is planned to re-equip Bastion complexes with new Zircon hypersonic missiles, the range of the complex will increase to 1.5 thousand km.
The Thundering Corvette of the Russian Pacific Fleet fired a Caliber cruise missile at a sea target in the Sea of Okhotsk at a distance of 300 km during the Vostok-2022 strategic command and staff exercise.
The Russian Defense Ministry has published footage of the night work of the crews of the Iskander-K missile systems. The video shows the 9p78-1 rocket launcher, the range of the Iskander-K missiles is up to 500 km, it is believed that it is officially underestimated.
The Russian nuclear submarines "Omsk" of project 949A "Antey" and the submarine K-573 "Novosibirsk" of project 885M hit a sea target imitating a warship. The exercises were carried out as part of the Umka-2022 integrated Arctic expedition. The Bastion coastal missile system of the Pacific Fleet was also used in the exercises. The target was hit by Granit and Oniks cruise missiles launched from submarines at a distance of 400 kilometers. The Bastion coastal missile system hit the target from a distance of 300 kilometers.
The Russian Defense Ministry showed footage of the Su-34 aircraft and the Kh-29 missile mounted on it. The Kh-29 high-precision air-to-surface missile was put into service in 1980, despite its age, foreign military experts consider it one of the "most successful Russian missiles." The Kh-29 missile is designed to destroy fortified targets and is capable of penetrating about 1 meter of concrete covered with 3 meters of soil. When hitting the runway of the airfield, the rocket leaves a funnel with a diameter of 15 meters and a depth of about 6 meters. The probable deviation of the missile from the target is two meters, which allows it to be aimed even at windows. The estimated price of the X-29 missile is about 300 thousand dollars, the data is based on a lawsuit filed by the Russian Ministry of Defense against several servicemen in case of accidental damage to missiles. The missile is produced with a laser and television homing head, the video shows the Kh-29T missile. The maximum missile launch range is from 8 to 30 kilometers, the altitude of use is from 200 meters to 5 kilometers, depending on the modification. The mass of the warhead is 317 kilograms.
The Russian Tu-95MS performed planned flights and worked out the elements of piloting techniques during refueling Tu-95MS in the air, including in adverse weather conditions. Serial production of Tu-95MS strategic bombers continued until the beginning of 1992. They still remain in service as carriers of cruise missiles, including such as the Kh-101. Thanks to lower fuel consumption than jet aircraft, and most importantly, greater stealth from SBIRS satellites, which are able to observe large jet-powered strategic bombers by their exhausts.
The Russian Ministry of Defense showed the work of calculating a mobile radio relay station of the R-416GM series, consisting of several types of vehicles. Military radio relay stations provide for the exchange of all types of information between military command posts. The Russian mobile multi-channel radio relay station R-416G-MS is based on the KamAZ-5350 chassis and deployed in 30 minutes, the height of the telescopic mast of the station is 30 meters. Details of the operation of the radio relay communication station complex in the video.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has published footage of the preparation of calculations of 120 mm mortars 2S12 "Sani". The crews work out practical skills of firing at distances from 500 meters to several kilometers. The 2S12 "Sani" mortar was put into service in 1981, the minimum mortar firing range: 480 m, maximum range: 7100 m. Rate of fire up to 10 rounds per minute, mortar crew 5 people, deployment time 3 minutes. 2S12 mortars have been repeatedly used in combat operations and are considered reliable and effective weapons.
