Mi-28NM is capable of operating in all weather conditions, performing many tasks including armored attack, destruction of low-speed air targets, reconnaissance… This latest version will be released. introduced at the MAKS-2021 Military Show this summer. The performance of the Mi-28NM combat helicopter’s complex skills will be one of the most awaited activities. Mi-28NM combat helicopter. Photo: RBTH The Mi-28NM made its first flight at the end of 2016 and has undergone state tests over the past few years. In June 2019, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the supply of 98 aircraft of the Mi-28NM version. The first batch was delivered to the army in 2020. The production of Mi-28NM was also carried out at the Rostvertol plant. “The Mi-28NM helicopter has undergone an upgrade and modification process after the “fire test” in Syria. Engineers have tested the Mi-28NM helicopter in real combat conditions to present to the public a version of the most powerful combat helicopter in the Russian air force,” said Professor Vadim Kozyulin at the Institute of Military Science. Russia said. What’s new in Mi-28NM? The new cabin of the Mi-28NM is protected by armor, including tempered glass in front that can withstand 12.7mm bullets. The armor barrier between the non-crew members also limits the ability to deal consecutive damage to both pilots. This baffle can withstand the impact of 20mm bullets. This is the first time on the Mi-28 helicopter that there is a partition between the two main pilots and the co-pilot. The pilot and copilot emergency exit systems can be activated separately.

The new helicopter is capable of using high-precision weapons, has a new control system with integrated AI. Mi-28NM can interact with helicopters, UAVs and other aircraft on the battlefield,” said Dmitry Litovkin, Executive Director of Independent Military Review. The “weapon” of the Mi-28NM helicopter also includes kamikaze drones – a type of suicide UAV. “The Mi-28NM can deploy and control one or more suicide UAVs. When hostile objects are detected, the pilots will provide target data and monitor the removal of those targets,” the expert said. The Mi-28NM helicopter can operate in difficult weather conditions, capable of flying in both piloted and automatic modes. One of the key practical changes for the pilot on the Mi-28NM is the dual control mode: in the event of a primary pilot’s injury or death, the co-pilot can continue to control the helicopter. Mi-28N does not have this mode. According to publicly available information, the main difference of the Mi-28NM is that it is equipped with a radar and thermal imaging support system, with the ability to scan around the aircraft instead of a few directions. Mi-28NM has a huge arsenal, including new generation multi-purpose missiles, including those launched beyond the enemy’s air defense identification zone, as well as various types of bombs. The helicopter can attack fixed and moving targets within a radius of 8-10 km.

In any conversation related to US military rifles, it is impossible not to mention the M4 – a more compact version of the legendary M16 rifle. The M4A1 rifle. Photo: US Army Although the M4 and M16 are quite similar in appearance, overall, the M4 is still lighter and shorter, with a weight of 2.88kg and a length of 83.82cm (including the stock). This design is intended to maximize the advantage of the M4 when used in situations where compact, easy-to-carry weapons are required, such as urban combat, for cavalry or in battle. cramped armored vehicles. Like the M16, the M4 uses standard 5.56 x 45 mm NATO ammunition. However, because the barrel is 37 cm long, shorter than the M16, the effective range is slightly lower. The M4 assault rifle has the longest range of 600m, a maximum rate of fire of 950 rounds/minute with a warhead velocity of 884m/s. M4 is quite popular in the world. It is widely used in Latin America, the Middle East, Europe and some other regions. FNSCAR The SCAR series of rifles was born in response to the request of the US Special Operations Command for a rifle designed in a modular form (allowing for quick configuration changes, compatible with other types of equipment). supported), uses a standard 5.56 x 45 mm and 7.62 x 51 mm magazine.

Both models can be used as marksman rifles or melee weapons because they have 3 different barrel types: short, standard and long. Despite their similar appearance, the SCAR-L uses the standard NATO STANAG magazine while the SCAR-H uses a magazine designed by the Belgian company FN Herstal. Assault Rifle M27 The Marine Corps’ new M27 assault rifle is considered one of the most accurate rifles in the US military’s arsenal. M27 rifle. Photo: US Marines The M27 is the designation of the automatic rifle line developed from the German-designed Heckler & Koch 416 prototype, put into service by the US Marines since 2011. The Heckler & Koch 416 was used to destroy bosses. Osama bin Laden during the famous US Navy SEAL raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The M27 has significantly improved accuracy, range and reliability over the M16 and M14, thanks to a free-oscillating barrel with a length of about 420 mm and a short-stroke gas piston system. This gun uses NATO standard ammunition size of 5.56x45mm, has a rate of fire from 700 to 900 rounds per minute. Currently, the Marines are considering upgrading the M27’s lethality.

It is quite solid, has high accuracy as well as great destructive power thanks to the use of NATO standard 7.62 x 51 mm magazine. Rifle M14. Photo: US Navy The M-14 was the main weapon used by the US infantry in the early stages of the Vietnam War. Although a good rifle, it was not suitable for the Vietnam battlefield because it was too heavy, too long, and the wooden parts were prone to warping due to the humid climate. Finally, the US military upgraded and improved this gun to create a new version, the Mk14 rifle. Rifle Mk 14 EBR The Army and US Special Operations Command redesigned the M14 rifle, creating the Mk 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle (EBR). Compared to the M14, the Mk 14 EBR has the same firing mechanism but different materials. The MK14 EMR rifle.

It also has a Picatinny rail for attaching more modern accessories and scopes. Although the gun is heavier than the M14, it has more stability and durability. M39 EMR The US Marines had similar ideas as the Army, but they decided to modify the M14 slightly, which led to the introduction of the M39 EMR rifle. The M39 EMR rifle.

“The MiG-35 has completed the integration test and received a very positive response from the pilot. There are only a few minor defects that need correction before the MiG-35 officially joins. training and combat in the Russian Air Force, “said a representative of the manufacturer MiG. MiG-35 fighter. MiG-35 fighter (NATO designation Fulcrum-F) is designed to operate in all weather conditions. Can strike air, land and sea, whether it’s a static or dynamic target. Recently, the Russian manufacturer announced the development of a new profile MiG-35D. An impressive showcase version but it’s not really a new platform. Because they are only developed based on the prototype MiG-29KR from the Soviet era. “The name MiG-35 is essentially the Russian manufacturer’s clever intent to market to the market because the number 35 makes many people pay attention to the same power as the Su-35 – a product of the manufacturer Sukhoi or Lockheed Martin’s F-35. But apart from the number 35 with the above fighters, the MiG-35 hardly performed much in the Russian Air Force’s tests and exercises, although they were integrated with the most advanced technology. Now compared to fighters of the same generation, “wrote Peter Suciu. The manufacturer equips the MiG-35 with the Phazatron Zhuk active phase array radar, and the RD-33MK engine pair allows the aircraft to reach maximum speeds of up to Mach 2.5. In terms of weapons, this fighter jet is designed with 9 armaments under the belly to help it carry most types of bombs and weapons available in the Russian Air Force including: Kh-31A anti-ship missiles with active radar probes, Kh-31P anti-radar missiles, Kh-29TE missiles and TV KAB-500Kr guided bombs … In addition, the MiG-35 is also equipped with a gun. 30mm high speed cannon. Information about the MiG-35 program has been known since 2007, but due to slow development, it was not until 2013 that the Russian Air Force announced an order for a plane for testing and evaluation before official. buy 37 pcs. But after 3 years, the manufacturer produced 3 more units. Thus, on average, each year MiG produces 1 MiG-35 fighter. At the current production rate, US experts say it is unclear whether the Russian Air Force will continue to pursue the 37-aircraft deal as agreed or not. This is also the reason why Indian customers have expressed special interest in this fighter line for a long time, but no agreement has yet been signed with the MiG manufacturer. The situation also appears to some customers in Africa and Southeast Asia. “A line of fighters produced for the purpose of domestic and export equipment, but this goal is difficult to accomplish with the MiG-35. Until now, no Russian fighter has produced any quality product. So hiu “, the American expert wrote. However, the MiG-35 is still highly appreciated by the Russian manufacturer. MiG affirmed that, although it is only a 4 ++ generation fighter, the MiG-35 fully converges the leading advanced technologies of the world military aviation industry. MiG-35 is highly competitive with the world’s leading fighters such as the Rafale, Typhoon … because MiG-35 dominates in this race because they have many outstanding features. The MiG-35 is more maneuverable, has more arsenal and is cheaper. Their specifications, avionics, electronic warfare equipment and arsenal allow the MiG-35 to compete with any kind of potential foe. With these systems equipped, in theory, it is not unreasonable for the Russian manufacturer to see the MiG-35 as a rival to the F-35.

German Type -212A non-nuclear submarines can make a wide range of missions, from anti-submarine warfare to anti-ship combat; assists special forces in surveillance and reconnaissance operations. Until now, Type-212A nicknamed “F-22 under the ocean” is the most modern and most powerful non-nuclear submarine in the world, they outperform the submarines in the same segment manufactured by other countries. create. The power of Type-212A submarines comes from three factors, the first is the stable operation and does not emit noise that makes them almost “invisible” under the ocean, second they are equipped with electrical equipment. modern death and finally a powerful arsenal. In the early 1990s, the German Navy sought a new submarine based on the improved Type 209 design, using an air-dependent propulsion (AIP) engine. The program officially began in 1994, when the German and Italian navies jointly developed a new conventional submarine, operating in the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea and the deeper waters of the Mediterranean. The two rather different requirements of the two countries were finally reconciled in a new design, eventually the new submarine with the Type-212A designation was officially born. On April 22, 1996, a memorandum of understanding kicked off the cooperation of building four identical ships to facilitate logistics and operations. In 1998, the German Government placed an order for the construction of four Type-212As at Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft AG (HDW) and Thyssen Nordseewerke GmbH (TNSW) of Emden. That same year, the Italian Government also ordered two submarines of this type. The German Navy ordered two additional refurbished submarines in 2006, delivered since 2012. These two are longer than 1.2 meters to allow more space for a new reconnaissance mast. In 2008, the Italian Navy ordered a second batch of submarines with similar configurations to the original ones. Some of the upgrades involve materials and software packages to reduce maintenance costs. In 2015, Italy announced plans to build two more. The Type-212A is a diesel-electric submarine that uses an AIP air-independent propulsion system, the first to be added to a Siemens proton-exchange membrane compression hydrogen fuel cell. It can travel at high speeds on diesel power or switch to the AIP system for slow and silent diving, and can stay underwater for up to three weeks, with little heat generation. When using AIP engines, they produce very low noise and diving times can be up to 3 consecutive weeks, far exceeding the maximum diving time of the Russian Kilo 636 or French Scorpene submarines. The drivetrain is also said to be vibrating, extremely quiet, and almost undetectable. Type 212A is approximately 57.2 m long and 6.4 m high; ships with diesel engine 1 MTU 16V 396; has a displacement of 1,524 tons when floating and 1,830 tons when diving; reaching speeds of 22 km / h when floating and 37 km / h when diving, a range of 15,000 km (at speed of 15 km / h); can dive for up to 12 weeks if using a snorkel; crew of 27 members. The tail is arranged with the letter “X” to help the ship rotate quite quickly under the ocean. Another notable design feature is the cross-section of the prismatic hull and a smooth transition from the hull to the sail, improving the stealth of the ship. The ship and its interior structures are made of non-magnetic materials, greatly reducing its chances of being detected by a navy’s magnetometer or magnetic mine. In addition, Type -212A is constructed from non-magnetic steel making it completely invisible to magnetic detectors (MAD) mounted on submarines, hunting aircraft and hunting helicopters. In other words, Type-212A submarines are completely immune to MAD equipment of the US, NATO or Russia. In tests, they can dive to a depth of 700 meters. With these features, the Type 212 outperforms the Russian Kilo 636 black hole or other Western ships of the same class. Weapons on the Type-212A submarine include 8 533 mm torpedo tubes. The catapult that can fire the optical fiber guided torpedo is DM2A4 together with the Blackshark torpedo. This torpedo has a range of 50 km, a top speed of 92.6 km / h. Future possibilities may be integrated cruise missiles The Type-212A is also equipped with an IDAS low-to-air missile system to combat low-range airborne threats. Short-range IDAS missiles (based on IRIS-T missiles) are primarily used to counter air threats as well as sea or land-based, or small, targets, developed by Diehl BGT Defense to fired from the Type 212A’s torpedo tubes. The IDAS is fiber-guided and has a range of about 20 km. A 30 mm automatic cannon called the Muräne to aid divers’ operations or to fire warning is also under consideration for an addition to the Type-212A submarine. The cannon, which could be a version of the RMK30 built by Rheinmetall, will be housed in a retractable mast that can be fired without the ship having to float. With a special design, it can operate in water depths only 17m and has 3 launchers for 3UAV reconnaissance. That allows it to get close to shore that no other submarine has been able to do yet. In the near future, Germany is planning to bring a longer range cruise missile to the Type 212A submarines.
