American analyst criticized the new development of "Kalashnikov"

American analyst Samuel Bendet from CNA (Center for Naval Analyzes) called the “Companion” robotic system being developed by Kalashnikov not mature enough, reports Lenta.ru report with reference to The National Interest.

For this reason, in the near future, Russia will not be able to export new weapon, the expert said.

In the end, the Russians did not adopt their (new combat system) their own weapons, because the technology is not yet mature enough to talk about reliable exports,

he believes.

Bendett noted that "Companion" is "an example of a weapon that is going to equip the Russian army in the future." Such complexes, in his opinion, in conjunction with drones useful for the protection of the northern and eastern borders of Russia.

Thus, the expert commented on the TASS report, which stated that Russia, in conditions as close as possible to the fighting ones, had tested the “Companion” system.

Earlier, the analyst said that the Russian development of military UAVs lagged behind similar foreign ones, but the country occupies a leading position in electronic warfare systems.

Help publication: "Armored tracked vehicle" Companion "is designed for reconnaissance and retransmission, patrolling and protection of territories and objects, demining and lining. The mass of the complex does not exceed 7 tons, speed - up to 40 kilometers per hour, radius of action - up to 10 km. The platform allows for the installation of 7,62 and 12,7 mm machine guns, AG-17-type grenade launchers, 30 mm mm and eight anti-tank guided missiles of the Cornet-EM type. The armored vehicle can work in conjunction with UAVs. ”

"means good, you have to take it"

That’s just to put 40 mm

[bouncyhunter]

Hello Volodya! Are you talking about the Balkans?

[Partyzan]

Well, yes, it will be more powerful

[Shurik70]

The concept itself is simple and reliable. Self-propelled platform, unit (several units) for the installation of equipment and weapons, remote control. Make universal connectors, and at least change the platform, at least the equipment. Criticism is about nothing. What exactly is "not mature" - a platform, nodes, connectors, weapons or remote control? No specifics.

Here then just everything is clear. Immature in the Kalashnikov project is that the "ally" is essentially not a robot. And it is a "tank for adults on the remote control." That's when the Kalashnikov concern solves the issues of effective technical vision, creating a digital terrain plan for this device, builds effective algorithms for recognizing objects, obstacles, etc., finds ways to effectively construct a detour route for these obstacles, and develops automatic reconnaissance and target detection systems, selection algorithms goals, recognition algorithms "friend or foe", will make a package of instructions for behavior in unusual situations and much more (in smart bamags they usually write the phrase "determine the project") - then "ally" will become a mature technology. In the meantime - a tank on the do. With very limited use.

So it’s like that, only radio-controlled tanks have been known since the 20s of the last century, but they didn’t become widespread .... This is what confuses me. I do not know the exact cause of this phenomenon, but I very much suspect that the conscript is simply cheaper ...

[Julio Jurenito]

radio-controlled tanks have been known since the 20s of the last century, but they did not become massive

Therefore, they did not, because in those years the control systems, and even the wireless ones, were lower than the baseboard.
And in the 40s, they began to become. It’s enough to recall the German planning remote-controlled bombs “Fritz” and their most famous victim - the battleship “Roma”.

[wasjasibirjac]

American UAVs are all like that. the maintenance of "balance" in flight is automated, and the operator of the remote control decides where to fly and who to shoot at. Maybe jealous?

[tchoni]

No guys. price comes first. A draftee to our state costs 1.5-2 million ever-wooden. The “comrade-in-arms” complex requires MINIMUM 2 X opposition. Plus KSHM, plus protection of KSHM ... So it turns out that in use this crap is more expensive, hemorrhoidal, and more difficult than three soldiers of urgent service with NSW.

[Alex_Rarog]

In the 20s there was no such development of elementary base! Have you seen for a long time what they do on civilian copters and evil typewriters?

After criticizing such a "prominent" expert, I’m afraid the entire Kalashnikov Concern will become depressed

Alexei team will most likely go to a tavern and celebrate. If they praise, it means not something, but then they immediately wave their hands.

In the end, the Russians did not accept them (a new combat system) for their own weapons, because the technology is not yet mature enough,

It is better to bring to mind and correct childhood diseases.

I would have such a clunker at the border outpost - I would not have known grief at thirty kilometers of the flank. Two is better. One on the left flank, and the second on the right. That still drone is the dream of a border guard.

[SASHA OLD]

yeah) the outfit of the ChG, the senior tankman, the shooter tank, the dog trainer, and the tank officer on duty at the outpost will put them up to order in front of the outpost tank chief))
and in the Leninist room the staff behind the consoles - a blunder as it is

Algeria has purchased more than 300 BMPT-72 Terminator-2 combat vehicles. The total number of BMPT-72 ordered by Algeria exceeds 300, their main task will be to accompany the T-90CA tanks in armored divisions and ensure tank protection. Currently, tank defense functions are performed by ZSU "Shilka" (air defense) https://bmpd.livejournal.com/2837711.html

not weak reserve ....

[Mih1974]

May this Exclusive Miracle show "superior US technology" . Oh and sho means "no," how so? No, we are not talking about UAVs or a dashboard, but just about such carts.

[taiga2018]

it is possible, but that’s why it is being developed, so it will be brought to mind.

[mikh-korsakov]

I’m incompetent in the question of “Companion”, but from general considerations it follows that the system is good, although there is something to complain about, it’s fixable, otherwise we would not have scolded, and so the “critic wants coffee” - and all “Kalashnikov” went into grief with grief ?

[BARKHAN]

Quote: mikh-korsakov

although there is something to complain about, but fixable,

It's okay. There is no limit to perfection ... Any modern weapon once started with something frail, be it firearms, aircraft or tanks ...

[rotmistr60]

since technology is not yet mature enoughto talk about reliable exports

Probably personally painstakingly rummaged in the insides since he so categorically declares. Or according to the principle - only in the United States there can be the most technological and not where more. "Expert" however.

And in the bushes "Companions" herds will run, from which Naglosaks are delighted.;)

[Izotovp]

The machine itself is 7 tons .. plus weight bk yes plus an unmanned aerial vehicle (preferably a helicopter type), plus operators, plus accompanying persons .... well, on the ground, you can come up with some kind of heavy media for the entire complex at once, but by air? An-12?

[HMR333]

no purchase is not an indicator at the moment, because re-equipment is already underway and there are other priorities for procurement, so everything has its time!

[voyaka uh]

He is in vain criticizing. The development is good.
And weaknesses will be revealed only in combat conditions.
If you don’t try, you don’t know.

[APASUS]

What a strange piece from the statement of the American analyst Samuel Bendett from CNA put at the forefront! I would like to see an analytical report from Syria on the use of this machine

Syria has become an excellent training ground for Russian robotic military equipment, where it is being tested in real combat conditions. Reports periodically appear that in Syria one such complex, then another has “lit up”. In addition to the "Companion" fighting with terrorists and robotic systems "Platform-M" and "Argo". Moreover, they act “side by side”, jointly participating in offensive operations.

Matures, do not hesitate.
The main thing is that Schaub effectively extinguished the heaps, and the color of ripeness is not important to us !!!

So on the right track!
