From ACIG.org ACIG Special Reports RUSSIAN EXHIBITORS (Click to expand images}  Novator Experimental Machine Design Bureau's Klub series including the 91RTE2 (ship based) and 91RE1 (top) Anti-Submarine missiles , 3M14E Land attack Cruise Missile and the 3M54E Three stage Anti-Ship Low Altitude Cruise Missile (bottom). The 3M54E is carried in a 8916 x 645 mm transport-and-launch tube, weighing 3655 kg. The missile has a maximum range of 220 km flying at a low altitude of 20 m with a cruise speed of 240 m/s. The three stages include the combat stage supported by a sustainer engine followed by a booster. The combat stage during the terminal phase and approaches the target at a speed of 700 m/s with a flight altitude of 5-10 m. A 200 kg warhead is carried. The Klub-S/N uses the 420 x 700 mm RADAR MMS ARGS-54E active-radar seeker which has a maximum range of 65 km. Angular coverage is -20° to +10° in elevation and ±45° in azimuth. The seeker weighs 40 kg (excluding radome) and is operable in temperature ranges of ±50°C and upto Sea State 6. Novator OKB and KBSM Special Mechanical Engg. joinly build the 3S-14E universal under-deck VLS for launching all three 3M-54TE, 3M-14E and 91RE2 missile types. An 8 cell complex has a mass of 14,700 kg (mod.1) and a power consumption of 3~50 Hz, 380 V, 30 kWt. A 15,000 kg 3S-14PE Deck Inclined Launcher is also available.   The RUBIN Amur 1650 is designed to be more silent than the Kilo class itself but is smaller (1765 m³ displacement) and more limited in most other fields. The snorkel cruising range (with increased fuel stock) at a speed of 7 kts is 6000 miles, submerged range of 650 miles at economic speed, endurance 45 days. The small Amur 950 of 1060 m³ displacement, is still under development. It has an endurance of 30 days, range 300 miles when submerged, maximum speed of 20 kts. A crew of just 21 is carried compared to the Amur 1650's 35 .  The KILO (Project 877) has undoubtedly been one of the more successful non-nuclear submarines in the world. An improvement programme is underway which will include a new sonar complex with digital signals processing, a periscope complex with a non-penetrating optronic mast, a new radio radio comm. complex and other equipment of export origin. The sub can carry 4 Klub-S missiles (min.) / 18 Torpedoes / 24 mines and has an endurance of 45 days with the snorkel cruising range (with increased fuel stock) of 7500 miles at a speed of 7 kts. 52 crew members are carried. Astrium GmbH (EADS) and CDB ME "Rubin" propose a RESUS-KILO ( REscue System for SUbmarineS) emergency surfacing system. It is based on 6 gas generators positioned in the No.3 Ballast Tank of the submarine which help GC64 generators introduce gas into the upper regions of the Main Ballast Tank (MBT), ejecting water via a gas duct and thus increasing buoyancy. The RESUS-KILO system is intended to help the submarine to surface from diving depths >250 m.  The DJIGHIT support launching unit (SLU) for the Igla MANPADS was mentioned but never seen at Aero-India. The 128 kg (empty) SLU can be knocked down into three portable sections and has overall dimensions of 2180 x 1546 x 1304 mm in the combat position which takes 3 minutes to deploy. Missile reload may be done in 2 minutes. The SLU which accomates 1 crew member, may also be combined with Mk-XA / Mk-XII IFF interrogators, optical day-night sights and external target designation aids.  The Igla-S features extended firing range (6 km), enhanced kill probability, reliability and service life when compared to previous versions. It can engage targets flying at speeds of 400 m/sec (head-on) to 300 m/sec (tail-chase) flying at heights from 10-3500 m. The Igla-S is compatible with DJIGHIT and STRELETS launchers.  The KBP Kashtan-M is undoubtedly the world's most powerful CIWS, combining two AO-18KD 30 mm AAG with eight 9M311-1E SAM launchers. The system is so powerful that it is also effective against smaller shore based targets. However, the Indian Navy maintains a slight bias in favour of the Barak.  KBP have developed a BMP-2 ICV modernization package which is now in the prototype phase. The upgrade replaces the main assemblies of the fire control system and adds the Kornet-E ATMS plus a 30 mm automatic grenade launcher with a range of 1700 m. The commander's BPK-2-42 standard sight has been replaced with a combined day/night sight. The 30 mm 2A42 automatic gun has been retained.  The KBP Kornet-E portable Anti-Tank Missile System (ATMS) consists of a 9P163M launcher and a 9M133-F1 laser beam riding missile of the 152 mm calibre. The Kornet-E has a maximum range of 5500 m and an armor piercing capability of 1000-1200 mm. The missile may be equipped with a HE / thermobaric warhead to produce the same incendiary effect as 152 mm HE / fragmentation artillery round.  RPO-A (thermobaric), RPO-D (smoke) and RPO-Z (Incendiary) Infantry rocket "flamethrowers."  SC Concern Izhmash's 7.62 mm SVD and SVDS Dragunov Sniper Rifles, BIZON-2-01 submachine gun, SAIGA-12C Hunting rifle / self-loading shotgun with a folding butt and operating handle, SAIGA-12K with a shorter barrel and trigger locking and an obscured AK-103 7.62 mm Assault Rifle. The SAIGA may be equipped with a variety of choke tubes and a sight leaf adjustable for windage and elevation. © Copyright 2002-3 by ACIG.org |
