| "The advanced radio stations feature an enhanced maximum data transmitting speed. They can considerably speed up command and control in the field," Khozin said. "These are modern digital systems that ensure communications in various modes and secure data transmission and are able to counteract hostile electronic warfare systems. Intercommunication and control equipment and switch gear are also included," he added. In 2016, the United Instrument-Manufacturing Corporation has started delivering advanced communications equipment for promising Russian-made armored vehicles, the spokesman said. In particular, the talk is about a large-scale order for communications equipment for BTR-MDM Rakushka armored personnel carriers that will arrive for Russian Airborne Force large units. The BTR-MDM Rakushka is a further development of the BTR-MD airborne tracked multi-role armoured vehicle. This vehicle is equipped with a remote weapon station mounted to the top left side of the hull armed with a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun. The BTR-MDM is of all-welded aluminum construction providing the crew with protection from small arms fire and shell splinters. The crew consists of commander, driver and 13 seats for military personnel. |
