This is the last Weekly Review of 2020 we had the pleasure of presenting you
0:20
The Army Recognition Group's team sincerely wishes you a better year 2021 than what we
0:26
all have endured this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We warmly thank our customers
0:32
subscribers and followers. The situation is expected to progressively get back to normal in
0:38
2021, starting with IDEX 2021 in Abu Dhabi, where our team will participate in force. Keep safe and
0:47
be happy. Four news published on armyrecognition.com drew your particular attention last week. The
0:54
French Army received its first 5,000 Glock 17 pistols and 150 FN SCAR-H PR precision rifles
1:03
General Dynamics has been awarded Danish following order for 56 patrol and one reconnaissance open
1:10
eagle 4x4 armoured vehicles. The Russian Army trains cohesion between tanks and the BMPT
1:17
fire support vehicles. And General Dynamics will produce more M1A2 SEPV3 Abrams main battle tanks
1:25
for the US Army. The delivery of the first 5,000 Glock 17 pistols and 150 FN SCAR-H PR sniper rifles
1:34
to the French Army is part of the 2019-2025 military programming law which embodies the effort
1:42
at Human 8, led by Florence Parly, Minister of the Armed Forces, in particular a broader desire
1:47
to renew small equipment intended for the French forces. The fifth generation PSA Glock 17 replaces
1:55
the PAMAK 50 and PAMAS G1. The new pistol is intended for use in event of rapid action and
2:01
the need for self-protection. The 9mm Glock 17 has a capacity of 17 rounds. The FN SCAR-H PR
2:09
semi-automatic sniper rifle will succeed the FR-F2 rifle. It will equip the army snipers
2:16
The FN SCAR-H PR is chambered in 7.62 NATO calibre. The rifle weighs 6.75 kilo in combat order with a
2:24
magazine. It's delivered with Schmidt and Bender optics, sound suppressor, bipod carrying bag and
2:30
sets of accessories. The Danish Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to General Dynamics European
2:36
Land Systems MOWAG to deliver 56 Eagle patrol vehicles and the first prototype of the reconnaissance
2:43
open variant. The second order is part of the Armored Patrol Vehicle Framework Agreement which
2:49
GDLS MOWAG and the Danish Ministry of Defence signed in June 2017 after the Eagle 4x4 was
2:56
selected as the winner of the tender. Deliveries of the 57 vehicles will begin by the end of 2021
3:03
and will be completed in 2022. The vehicle's inherent growth potential ensures the ability
3:09
for future upgrades and technology insertion over the vehicle's lifetime. The Eagle family
3:14
of vehicles is a highly successful light tactical vehicle family with more than 1,500 Eagles in
3:20
service worldwide. The BMPT concept emerged in the 1980s and actively developed because of the war in
3:28
Afghanistan and then in Chechnya. It was initially planned to create a combat vehicle with various
3:34
arms to destroy anti-tank weapons in a single combat formation with tanks. The design was
3:39
several times suspended but BMPT supporters each time succeeded to have it resumed. The issue of a
3:46
direct tank support in the battlefield and on the march is not new. It is at least 80 years old
3:53
World War II offered possibility to test the concept of tank support by combat vehicles on the
3:58
march and in the battlefield. Self-propelled anti-aircraft guns defended the tanks against
4:02
air attacks. It is necessary to comprehend how to engage BMPT in a real clash. Concept designers
4:10
proposed to replace infantry. Now they propose that BMPT should support infantry and advertise
4:17
it as a fire support combat vehicle at international arms shows. Which missiles can BMPT
4:23
fulfill? It destroys armor at major distances by attacker missiles and can operate at the front line
4:30
like a tank due to the armor. However, BMPT capabilities to fight aircraft are limited
4:36
The vehicle has no radar or other means to detect air targets which decreases fire effectiveness
4:42
Properly trained helicopter and jet pilots can destroy a tank column with or without BMPT. The
4:48
situation is even worse if modern combat drones attack. In a word, BMPT concept offers no
4:54
breakthrough. It is not limited to the 12 vehicles of the initial contract and Uralvagonzavod finds
5:00
customers in Russia and abroad. The hardware is likely to be upgraded from the available tanks
5:05
rather than produced anew. The talk is about T-72 undercarriage of previous and morally outdated
5:13
modifications. They cannot return from warehouses without an upgrade by modern requirements
5:19
The customer will have to decide whether to choose modernization and keep the initial designation or
5:24
remake the vehicle into BMPT. General Dynamics Land System has been awarded a 4,620,000,000
5:33
US dollar contract to produce M1A2 SCPV-3 Abrams, main battle tank for the US Army
5:41
The SCPV-3 is a modernized version of the M1A2 offering enhanced protection and survivability
5:48
as well as higher lethality than the previous version of the M1 Abrams series. The new tank
5:53
also features a new armor, communications, reliability, sustainment and fuel efficiency. The main armament of the M1A2 SCPV-3 remains the 120mm smoothbore cannon. The tank is fitted with
6:07
a low-profile crow for commonly remotely operated weapon system. This improves the tank commander's
6:14
situational awareness and significantly lowers the profile of the weapon station. The SCPV-3
6:20
is equipped with an improved IED capability electronic warfare built on the vehicle
6:26
This tank is fitted with an improved forward-looking infrared system to identify targets
6:32
For news published on NavyRecognition.com due to particular attention last week, the USS Daniel Inouye, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer built for the US Navy, has completed
6:42
sea trials. US and French navies conduct an interoperability naval exercise with submarines
6:48
off the coast of Guam. Portsmouth Naval Shipyard safely undocked USS Santa Fe
6:54
a Los Angeles-class submarine of the US Navy, and Russia plans to upgrade the Admiral Vinogradov's
7:00
anti-submarine ship. The future USS Daniel Inouye DDG-118, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer built
7:09
for the US Navy, successfully completed builder's trial on the 9th of December after spending four
7:15
days at sea off the coast of Bath, state of Maine. Builder's trial consists of a series of in-port
7:22
and at-sea demonstrations that allow the shipbuilder General Dynamics Bath Ironworks and the Navy to assess the ship's system and its readiness for delivery. The future USS Daniel
7:33
Inouye will return to sea to conduct acceptance trials by the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey
7:40
early in 2021. During acceptance trials, all systems will be inspected and evaluated to ensure
7:47
quality and operational readiness prior to the Navy accepting delivery. The keel of DDG-118 was
7:53
laid on 14 May 2018 and christened on 22 June 2019. The US and French navies have conducted
8:03
an interoperability military naval exercise off the coast of Guam with the Los Angeles-class
8:09
fast attack submarine USS Asheville DSSN-758 and the French Navy Ruby-class nuclear-powered submarine
8:17
Emeraude DS-604. The US Navy USS Asheville and the French Navy Ruby-class Emeraude submarines
8:26
practice high-end maritime skills in a multitude of disciplines designed to enhance interoperability
8:32
between both naval forces. USS Asheville is one of four forward-deployed attack submarines assigned
8:38
to Submarine Squadron 15 located at Polaris Point Naval Base Guam in Upper Harbor. The Emeraude is a
8:45
Ruby-class nuclear-powered attack submarine in service with the French Navy. The submarine was
8:50
launched in April 1986 and commissioned in September 1988. She can reach a top speed of 25 knots
8:57
with a maximum cruising range of 8,500 nautical miles or 15,700 kilometers. Porthmouth Naval Shipyard
9:06
safely undocked USS Santa Fe, the SSN-763 Los Angeles-class submarine of the US Navy, on schedule
9:13
on December the 14th. Completion of this key event continues the critical path to deliver Santa Fe
9:20
but also maintains the vital construction timeline for the Dry Dock No. 1 superfluid
9:25
basin at the shipyard. The facility of construction projects around Dry Dock No. 1 directly support
9:32
the Navy's Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program designed to improve the efficiency of the
9:38
naval shipyards to better execute maintenance and modernization of ships and submarines to provide
9:43
the Navy the nation needs. Porthmouth Naval Shipyard is America's leader for attack submarine maintenance
9:49
repair and modernization. Santa Fe and a crew of 16 officers and 127 enlisted personnel arrived at
9:56
the shipyard on the 15th of August 2019. The Los Angeles-class submarines are fitted with 12 vertical
10:04
launching system tubes able to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles and Harpoon anti-ship missiles
10:10
The submarines also have four 21-inch 533 millimeter torpedo tubes as well as Mark 67 and Mark 60
10:19
KAPTO mines. The Russian Defense Ministry plans to upgrade the Admiral Vinogradov anti-submarine ship
10:26
of Project 1155. It has been decided to arm it with Kalibr and Uran missiles and later with
10:33
hypersonic Tsirkon missiles. The Admiral Vinogradov will have its air defense reinforced. The ship will
10:40
operate in the Pacific fleet. Admiral Vinogradov will be the second Project 1155 for ship to be
10:47
upgraded. The first one was Marshal Shaposhnikov which began running trials in 2020. It's armed with
10:54
Kalibr and Uran missiles. Defense Ministry and industry sources set the decision in principle
11:00
to consider the upgrade of Admiral Vinogradov had been made. The final decision will follow after
11:06
the state of the warship and the amount of work are specified. Sources said the warship will have
11:11
bigger firepower than Marshal Shaposhnikov. She's likely to be armed with Pantsir-M anti-aircraft system
11:18
Project 1155 warships have been the backbone of the Russian Navy for a long time
11:24
Three news published on airrecognition.com drew your particular attention last week. The Boeing unmanned loyal wingman conducted its first high-speed taxi tests. The Russian
11:35
armed forces will receive 10 Mi-8AMTSHVN helicopters in 2021 and Embraer delivered
11:44
the fourth C390 Millennium airlifter to the Brazilian Air Force. Boeing Australia and the
11:51
Royal Australian Air Force have completed the first high-speed taxi test of the loyal wingman
11:56
unmanned aircraft in preparation for its first flight. Boeing test personnel monitored the
12:01
aircraft's performance and instrumentation from a ground control station to verify the functionality
12:08
while the drone reached accelerated speeds. The uncrewed aircraft has been undergoing low
12:14
medium and high-speed taxi testing at a remote location in Australia. Boeing and the Australian Air Force will resume final taxi tests and preparation for flight in
12:24
early 2021 when the range reopens. More than 35 Australian suppliers of the insulin industry
12:32
have contributed to the aircraft development, including investment partner BAE Systems Australia, which has been embedded with the Boeing test team on site. The delivery of the Mi-8AMTSHVN
12:44
helicopter to Russian Armed Forces is planned to begin in 2021. A helicopter
12:53
prototype is currently being tested at the Mil-N-Kamov National Helicopter Centre. Russian Deputy Defence Minister Alexei Kryushko said the Ulan-Ude aircraft plant
13:04
has proved itself as a reliable supplier of the Russian Defence Ministry
13:10
The plant is fulfilling its commitment under the State Defence Procurement Programme ahead of
13:14
schedule. The Mi-8AMTSHVN is designed for special operations. During the Army 2019 Forum, a contract
13:25
was signed with the Russian Ministry of Defence for the supply of 10 units of this Mi-8 variant
13:31
that features increased combat survivability and protection provided by an onboard defensive aid
13:37
suit and titanium alloy armour covering the cockpit and vital units. In addition
13:43
the helicopter has better armament. The Brazilian company Embraer delivered the fourth C-390
13:51
Millennium multi-mission medium military transport aircraft of a total of 28 units to
13:56
the Brazilian Air Force. Like the three aircraft already in operation, the fourth one will be
14:02
operated by the 1st Troop Transport Group. All 28 aircraft ordered by the Brazilian Air Force
14:08
are equipped to perform aerial refueling missions with the designation KC-390 Millennium. A joint
14:15
project between the Brazilian Air Force and Embraer, the C-390 Millennium and the KC-390
14:22
Millennium fly faster and carry more cargo than other military fighters of the same size
14:28
The aircraft require fewer on-demand inspections and maintenance, combined with highly reliable
14:33
systems and components, which reduces the time on the ground and overall operating costs
14:38
contributing to excellent availability levels and low lifecycle costs. you
