ROC "Shelest" to create a parachute system D-14 will begin in the year 2018

The Shelest development work on the development of the D-14 parachute system for the Russian Airborne Forces will begin in the 2018 year, and not in the 2017, as previously reported. This is reported today TASS With reference to the Deputy Commander of the Airborne Forces on the airborne training of Major General Vladimir Kochetkov.

"R & D "Shelest" to create a new parachute system for mass use of D-14 is scheduled to open in 2018 year. This deadline was set in consultation with us as the customer of the work, no other was mentioned."

, - he said.
According to Kochetkov, the D-14 system will increase the safety of parachute jumps, ensure comfortable placement in the harness and even distribution of the dynamic load, as well as increase air handling and landing. In addition, thanks to a new parachute, it will be possible to increase the mass of a parachutist with weapons and equipment.

The general also said that new special-purpose parachute systems are being created for the Airborne Forces. They are intended for landing from heights of 1200-8000 meters at the speed of the aircraft to 350 km / h. The delay in opening the main parachute will be up to 10 seconds using a stabilizing parachute. The maximum flight weight for these systems will be 190 kg, the range from a height of 8 km will be up to 30 km.
Kochetkova added that the suspension system of the parachute provided for the fastening of a cargo container weighing up to 50 kg, as well as a special seat for the parachutist.
Kochetkov also drew attention to the fact that two new parachute-cargo systems for the Airborne Forces will begin to develop this year. One of them will use satellite navigation for accurate landing.

"It is planned in 2017 to open the Horizontal-4000 OCD to create a controlled planning parachute-cargo system for high-precision cargo delivery to remote and remote areas using satellite navigation," the general said.
"Satellite navigation will provide cargo delivery with an accuracy of 1 meter"

In the current year, it is planned to open the Tara R & D project to create a one-time small-sized parachute-cargo system for landing air cargo from IL-76MD airplanes to remote areas, including islands in the Arctic.

And what is the price of OCD such frills?

This is how much is required. Russia holds a leading position in the development of parachute landing systems. And this, of course, is worth the financial cost. I think everything is within the budget.

That's right, the systems are needed, which means the game is worth the candle.

Yes, “Oaks” of the 5th or 6th, of course, not the “Crossbow”, and the GPS-600, is also the last century, but such statements are not worth a penny!

Disbelief in one’s self implies recognition of someone else’s ...

[infantryman2020]

Yeah. Again: "Russia is the birthplace of elephants" ....
Can you explain why the D-10 was adopted relatively recently, and has a new one become necessary?
The real reason, though, you know?

So, calculate the difference between the quadrature of domes with gates; Take the price of a good main American dome with a price of two pieces of greens, and compare - the mass series, patent, plus a spare and lotion, total price of the kit will not exceed 600 greens. Although the exact price you can find out in the MO on the digest after purchase.

If the parachutes will be worthless, paratroopers will be the first to pay.

My own sister, in her youth, was engaged in parachuting and talked about systems: D3 "oak" from WWII from PO "flying wing"

Landing combat vehicles with crew is now the norm or an exception?
