The Rosoboronexport’s
exposition showcases a wide nomenclature of defence export
products intended for land forces employment taking due
account of potential customers’ requirements.
The
BTR-80 and BTR-80A armoured personnel carriers are designed
to transport troops and provide fire support to motorised
infantry units. The vehicles can be employed both by land
and marine forces.

It makes no doubts that
specialists and guests to the exhibition will be attracted
to the upgraded BMP-3M highly manoeuvrable infantry combat
vehicle. It is armed with the 100-mm smoothbore gun/missile
launcher, 30-mm automatic cannon and 7.62-mm machine gun
integrated in a single weapons module.
Visitors
also will be able to familiarise themselves with the T-90S
missile/gun main battle tank which features small dimensions,
reduced weight and low observable profile, as well as
advanced gun/missile launcher armament, active and reactive
armour protection. The T-90S is considered to be one of
the world’s best tanks to date.

Land forces’ artillery
systems will be traditionally represented by promotional
materials on multiple rocket launch systems, upgraded
self-propelled guns and howitzers, antitank guided weapons,
reconnaissance and combat control systems.
The Rosoboronexport’s
exposition secures a prominent space for multiple rocket
launch systems and a wide range of projectiles for them.
These systems are in great demand in many regions over
the world as a powerful and highly effective means capable
of suppressing enemy forces and assets at a range of 20
to 90 km. The exposition features the 9A52-4 Smerch multiple
rocket launch system mounted on the Kamaz truck with the
removable or fixed containers. Its combat vehicle is equipped
with the automated fire control and guidance system (ASUNO),
as well as air conditioning system.
The
exposition contains promotional materials on self-propelled
and towed artillery systems, including the 152-mm Msta-S
self-propelled howitzer coupled with the automated fire
control and guidance system, 120-mm Nona-M1 mortar, and
others.

Military specialists will
have the opportunity to see a plethora of general-purpose
and close-combat infantry weapons, such as well-known
types of grenade launchers (hand-held RPG-7V1 and RPG-27,
automatic AGS-30), machine guns (Pecheneg, PKM, RPK, and
others), PDM-A Shmel-M new-generation flame throwers,
SVD and SVDS sniper rifles, and, of course, Kalashnikov
assault rifles of the so called hundredth series, namely
AK-101, AK-102, AK-103, AK-104.
Air
defence experts will be attracted to the upgraded Pechora-2M
air defence missile system (ADMS). The upgrade has its
technical and tactical characteristics notably improved,
and enjoys some entirely new capabilities. The system’s
engagement envelope has been substantially extended (up
to 32 km - in range) and target kill effectiveness increased
by replacing vintage components and signal processors
with new up-to-date analogues and improving ballistic
flight characteristics of the surface-to-air guided missile.
The “Pechora-2M” ADMS upgrading programme
aims at extending the system’s service life up to
15 years at least.

missile system
In the family of famous
air defence weapon systems having high export capacities
one will find the Buk-M2E multi-channel medium-range and
Tor-M2E short-range air defence missile systems. The two
weapon systems are designed to defend vital administrative,
military and industrial installations against enemy air
attacks, including those with precision-guided munitions,
in most demanding operational environment.
“During Defexpo
India 2010 we are going to meet and have discussions with
our traditional foreign partners in military technical
cooperation, as well as with new potential customers willing
to buy Russian-made weapons and military equipment”,
noted Victor Komardin. - We are confident that this display
of weapons and military equipment for Land Forces and
Navy will open up a new phase of Russia’s mutually
advantageous cooperation with India and other states in
the region.”
