Israeli “Tavor” plus license equals Ukrainian “Fort”

70
23.12.2009, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine agrees to the proposal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and order No. 1577 adopts new models weapons. Brief drawing of the order - “Accept the proposal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, coordinated with the Security Council, UGO, the Border Service and the SVR to accept new types of weapons on the recommendations of the interdepartmental commission, namely the Fort - 221 / 222 / 223 / 224 / 301 / 401 and their future modifications” .

Israeli “Tavor” plus license equals Ukrainian “Fort”


Earlier in October 2008, the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine announced that the Ukrainian Fort and the Israeli IMI would create a joint venture for the production of TAR-21 of various modifications



for operation in the Ukrainian militarized divisions. Today "TAR-21" and its modifications are produced by the Ukrainian "Fort" under its own name "Fort - 221". Some components are supplied by the Israeli IMI. As far as we know, the weapons produced by the Vinnitsa "Fort" were practically not purchased by Ukrainian armed units.

It does not make sense to compare “TAR-21” and “Fort - 221”, since these are one and the same automatic weapon, no specific changes in the design and construction of the machine gun are known. Despite the many advantages and knowing about the main shortage of "TAR-21", the price of weapons in Israel is one thousand dollars, the question arises whether to manufacture such expensive weapons in Ukraine. Even made under license, it has almost the world price, although it is collected in Ukraine. In addition to the Israeli-designed Fort-221, the Fort-401 light machine guns, the Fort-301 sniper rifles and the Fort-224 submachine guns were adopted. It remains to wonder about the development of weapons for foreign licenses, and not for domestic projects that are not inferior in performance and much cheaper to manufacture.

The main characteristics of the Ukrainian Fort-221 (TAR-21):
- caliber ammunition 5.56X45 mm;
- length depending on the version, standard centimeters 64.5;
- height 30 centimeters;
- centimeter width 9.2;
- barrel length, depending on the version, standard centimeters 37.5;
- weight 3.9 kilogram;
- Shop 30 ammunition;
- bullet speed initial 890 m / s.

    Here the other day - looked about our Val. It is used only in special units. The design of both the machine itself and its cartridges is Gos.Taina.
    It has no analogues in the world.
    Pros: Accuracy, Noiselessness, flashes any bulletproof vest for departure.
    And they talked about another assault rifle - Vintorez - also close in parameters - to Val.
    So to any foreign Bulpabs - to our machines - Well, Very far !!! wink
    By the way, what is there with the new law - according to which the Police - injuries (Wasps) will be instead of PM. And at the teaching staff, instead of 1 Kalash, the outfit will now look like Bison or something similar to it - more modern and overall.

        the real battle distance is half that written by you, and yes - this is a highly specialized automatic machine, like BCC (screw cutter), the most for ambushes, urban combat, but not for the field (there is the SVD and their ilk), in addition, a cartridge for it you don’t get it everywhere and Val with PSO-1 is a perversion ... IMHO, there is a VSS for this, especially since the shops are interchangeable.

      The shaft is a special operations weapon 9mm cartridge, subsonic, quite described in the literature

      It is a weapon of special operations. It is not intended for ordinary military units, it has specific tasks.
      Tavor is a combined-arms machine designed for conventional units.
      For Ukraine, it may be a little expensive; for Israel, the price is absolutely normal.
      Quote: Neighbor
      So to any foreign Bulpabs - to our machines - Well, Very far !!!

      Bullpup (English bullpup) - a layout diagram of the mechanisms of rifles and machine guns, in which the striking mechanism and the magazine are located in the butt behind the trigger. Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to increase the length of the barrel without increasing the total length of the weapon, which positively affects the range and accuracy.
      Bull Dad Benefits

      Compactness: bullpups are smaller and shorter than conventional weapons with the same barrel length. Modern military doctrines give importance to fighting in the city. Under these conditions, bullpap’s compactness is especially valuable. Valued by anti-terrorist units.
      There is practically no recoil arm - when firing a burst, the machine jumps much less.
      It is more convenient to reload when shooting from a car or loophole.

      Look AK-74
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZunV5wEtT8
      I shot from Tavor (by the way, like from Kalash, M-16 (3 modifications), Uzi, Galil, M-14, M-24.
      I have something to compare. The tavor is very convenient, short, well centered. There is the ability to mount almost all sights, devices (additional handle, flashlight, grenade launcher). In general, it is very convenient. It can be easily disassembled. Very convenient mode switching.

        Your conclusions are correct, BUT ONLY IF you do not go beyond your room! It turns out according to your MAIN CRITERION for choosing the weapons of the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs (not individual units of specialists) - the convenience of switching modes ??? And if you go out into the yard and think not narrowly, then the following questions will arise: how quickly both the trigger itself and the barrel are depreciated ... whether we have a repair base and spare parts, etc. ... and with this in mind, the AK will be cheaper to operate than anything else. As for tuning - this is how the hitch can be made for any trunk .. (if you have money ...)

      Dear Neighbor, I want to correct you. VSS "Vintorez" is not an assault rifle, but a special sniper rifle. Absolutely silent, but has no muffler. Silence is ensured due to the special design of the barrel (I will not go into details, this is a very long time, and if you are interested, there is a lot of information in Wikipedia about the rifle)
      On the same base, the OTs-14 "Groza" automatic grenade launcher system has been developed and is already in use. Here it is made according to the "bullpup" scheme. The principle of automation for all these products is a gas outlet, like that of AK74. Cartridges for them 9x39 SP-5, SP-6 subsonic. So that no State. There is no secret.

        As you can see, on top of the short barrel with holes, there is also a silencer, which is integrated into the weapon. And the rifle is not "absolutely silent": when firing, it emits a sound at the level of a pneumatic weapon.

      Negev need M855 cartridges, with a reinforced charge and a steel core. Twower had a discussion in the magazine when he shot a certain number of cartridges captured from the Georgians - there were obviously problems with quality.

      As for the reliability of the Tabor - there is a video below. Thais bought a few tens of thousands, about half the number - Indians. Tavor uses a fairly large number of special forces in different countries.

Tavor-like any Automatic machine according to the Bull-Pap scheme, 1 is much shorter, 2 the center of gravity is shifted to the shoulder. The fact that it is shorter increases its maneuverability in combat at nearby distances and in urban areas. And the center of gravity shifted to the shoulder makes it easier to aim ... There’s nothing to say about the collimator scope in the standard. And its other characteristics are no different from, say, Galil ... I can say that the machine is very reliable and easy to operate ... The price of 1000 dollars in Israel is really not big, it must be borne in mind that production in Israel is much more expensive than anywhere else ... Perhaps that is why production in Ukraine was established ...

        This is somewhat controversial - it depends on the practice of training the shooter.

          I would not say that it’s smoking so much (to be honest, I couldn’t even remember if there was such a problem, probably if I didn’t pay attention, it means either not or not significant, although I shot quite a lot)

          Noticed , for a significant drawback, the translator of the shooting modes remained as in an ordinary AK. , in Kalash it was not convenient, but turned into a bullpup just something awful and uncomfortable.
          In Tavor, you switch with your finger (two-way switch) without removing your hands from the handle. Why, if you made AK bullpup, do not remove this drawback. By the way, this remained in SVD, Groza, AK-which are made according to the bulpap scheme.

          Right. I read that the first thing a French soldier does when he gets to the front line is to try to get hold of either an AK or another barrel. And Famas in the CWC, for the parade.

          Found in the topic:

          "Military experts, who were contacted by Segodnya.ru correspondents, noted that this weapon does not possess any outstanding qualities. Thus, the dispersion when firing at a distance of 200 meters in series of 10 single shots for FAMAS is 400 mm, while for AK-47, it should not exceed 300 mm.

          In addition, French rifles overheat very quickly, and after shooting hundreds of rounds there is a danger of spontaneous ignition of ammunition. After shooting 3-5 stores due to accumulating soot, delays in shooting begin. Sometimes two cartridges are fed at once, which also causes a delay in firing. When firing, shops very often spontaneously separate.

          A joke is very popular among French soldiers: “Question: - FAMAS - a weapon or a device for a bayonet? Answer: - You can remove the bayonet and use it like a hammer. 10 FAMAS for one nail. "

          It is noteworthy that the French special forces units are forced to arm with German G-36 rifles. And even, despite the generous kickbacks, France was able to convince only Djibouti, Gabon, Senegal to purchase their rifle. Now Russia may also be in this warm, dark company. "

                    Famas - development of the 1971 year, adopted by the end of the 70's. And legs generally go to the development of 50's. Passed at least two major upgrades. Differ not only significantly, but enough.

                    FAMAS G1 - An updated version with an increased trigger guard and a more convenient forearm.
                    FAMAS G2 is a simplified and cheaper option. The pitch of the three right-sided rifling of the bore is reduced from 305 mm to 228 mm, which makes it possible to use both cartridges M193 and SS109. Also, the new machine uses standard NATO 30-charging boxed magazines.

                    In addition, the use of composites, toughening knots, increasing reliability, the upper bar characteristic of famas has disappeared.

        There is also SVD in the Bulpap version, but I heard Shamanov’s words.

        Caliber: 7.62x54R mm
        Movement: semi-automatic, gas vent
        Weight: 4,4 kg with an empty magazine and PSO-1 sight (5.5 kg for SVU-AS)
        Length: 900 mm
        Barrel length: 520 mm
        Shop: 10 cartridges
        Temp shooting: 650 rounds / min (only IED-A and IED-AC)



        The development of a shortened version of the SVD sniper rifle for armament of the USSR Airborne Troops began in the seventies of the 20th century, and a significant reduction in the size of the weapon was achieved due to the transition to the bullpup layout. However, at that time, the development of the Tula designers from TsKIB SOO remained in the form of prototypes, and they remembered about it only in the early nineties. The OTs-03 rifle was proposed by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs as a weapon for combat operations in urban conditions, where the increased maneuverability of a short rifle is an absolute plus. The rifle was adopted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the designation SVU (Shortened Sniper Rifle), however, at the request of the same Ministry of Internal Affairs in Tula, its version OTs-03A (SVU-A after adoption) was developed, which was distinguished by the ability to conduct automatic fire. The most recent version of the OTs-03 line was the OTs-03AS (SVU-AS) variant, which differs from the SVU-A only in the presence of a folding bipod mounted under the barrel on a special bracket.
        It should be noted that automatic fire from the SVU-A and SVU-AS rifles should be fought only in emergency cases, since the light barrel and the small capacity of the magazine do not allow any intensive burst fire from it. In terms of firing accuracy with single shots, according to available data at small and medium ranges, the SVU series rifles are approximately similar in characteristics to the SVD Dragunov rifle.

        The SVU sniper rifle uses basic mechanisms and a modified receiver from the SVD sniper rifle. In the IED, a gas vent mechanism with a regulator and a short stroke of the gas piston is stored, as well as locking by turning the shutter from the SVD. The changes affected the trigger mechanism, which received a long traction connecting it with the trigger pulled forward. In rifles SVU-A and SVU-AS, the trigger mechanism is modified to provide automatic fire. The choice of the fire mode is carried out by the degree of pressure on the trigger - a short press causes single shots, a long (fully) automatic fire. To ensure only automatic firing, there is a special translator that, when turned on, limits the working stroke of the trigger.
        The barrel of the rifle is equipped with a special muzzle device that combines the functions of a flame arrester and a muzzle brake. Sights include a front sight and a diopter rear sight, placed on folding bases. The whole has adjustments in range from 100 to 1300 meters. On the left side of the rifle is a bracket for mounting brackets for optical sights. Usually IEDs are used with a PSO-1 sight of fixed multiplicity 4X. The SVU-AS rifle is distinguished by the fact that it is equipped with a folding bipod located on a special bracket under the barrel. The bracket is attached to the receiver to unload the barrel from the influence of the mass of bipods and all weapons (when firing from the stop).

          This is what happens when they want to cut loot without doing anything. Just stupidly moved the handle forward and that’s it. You don’t see one bulpap
          1. the shutter frame and the handle for jerking the shutter frame moves behind, almost at the person shooting
          2Transfer of fire modes behind the handle
          3. The fuse translator is the same behind /

          If the cartridge is stuck with this arrangement, try to turn the shutter without lying on its side or without turning the machine over.
          Transfer to automatic fire from the degree of trigger pull? What is it that an untrained person simply cannot use it (they did it simply by understanding that the translator at the back is extremely inconvenient), but the improvement from my point of view is unsuccessful, if only when shooting with gloves or nervous tension in a battle, when you accidentally pull the trigger with force.
          Because of the removable cover of the receiver (removed up and weak - the disease of all AKs) there is no way to install sights, but only on the side, which is inconvenient and violates
          centering.

    Yes, the whole point of this is not to me. To have a single platform of small arms and crawl into it, it makes sense. So Ukraine has a platform on AK, Israel has Uzi and Galil, and now they are changing it to Tavor. Israel is profitable to produce a new platform cheaply and increase export chances. And what is the use of Ukraine from this? They will not go to Tavor and Galil. Why feed a competitor?

      expert, have you ever been taught in Bulgaria what outsourcing is? this process is somewhat more complicated and absolutely legal, unlike, for example, the unlicensed production of AKM, RPK, RPG-7 at the Arsenal plant. In any case, the engineers of the "Fort" enterprise will not have to hide in the cellars at exhibitions when the Israelis appear, as your craftsmen are cleverly able to do when the Izhmash or Basalt people appear.

        No, they didn't. The ancient Ukrainians invented this outsourcing. And the word "Fort" is also used by Taras Shevchenko for the first time. laughing
        And if it's serious, there are a lot of strange things. For example, why the State Scientific and Production Association "Fort" was attached to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The products are mainly military. Why "sellers of striped sticks" need machine guns. The basis of Fort's production, the same is not patented by AK. But for some reason Ukraine can, but Bulgaria does not.
        And for Arsenal, do not worry. The firm is private, manufactures and sells in all markets with high protection of copyright and related rights - the USA, for example. If someone else has a prosthetics, sue. And there are cellars. But they do not sue, only they know how to bark in the media. Yes, and in the Arsenal, the AK series was modernized and at Fort, as I see some bells and whistles hung, and inside the box, no gu-gu.
        Summarize. The children of Israel are certainly beneficial. The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs is also falling into something and can’t afford it. And why does Ukraine not promote its products? For instance:
        The large-caliber special silent Zbroyar .458 SOCOM rifle was developed by the Ukrainian private weapons company Zbroyar, which is located near Kiev. It was created under the American ammunition .458 SOCOM.

            AK and AKSU use (as needed) only marine special forces (SHAETET -13). Due to the shooting at the exit from under the water, the potential adversary is the same with the AK that would not distinguish himself by sound. But I saw in them (personally) only AK - 7.62 and the old model, I did not see such wound ones. Maybe it's special forces in the territories, which again would not stand out with sound. Especially shortened - this is generally a melee weapon.
            Although something does not inspire confidence in me, we were forbidden in the army to wear a watch without closing it with a case, and especially the special forces do not wear it. because tuned them not bad, but we don’t throw money away.

              Hmm, I didn’t know, thanks for the info. Yes
              And about the "Dessert Eagles" - for me it's the best weapon for the police, you don't even need to shoot, the criminal from one sight of this "crocodile" will do it laughing
              (I just saw once this "fool" of either 45 or 50 caliber (the hole was very big), I held it in my hands (Arctic fox, iron), they didn't let me shoot, but they didn't give it to him (I think the recoil would have knocked out nafig wrist joint).)

    an excellent weapon specifically for soldiers and not free slaves for the construction of general dachas - the topic and AKM will laughing
    and for the price - if the overall equipment is NORMAL (and not tarpaulin boots, etc.) it costs several thousand UE - it makes sense to save on the most important

    By the way, what is there with the new law - according to which the Police - injuries (Wasps) will be instead of PM. And at the teaching staff, instead of 1 Kalash, the outfit will now look like Bison or something similar to it - more modern and overall.

    1. Instead of PM, PY (cal. 9x19mm.) Was adopted; weapons of the OSA type are meant to be used as additional weapons.
    2. At PPS instead of AK (or rather AKSU), the PP-2000 (cal. 9x19mm.) Was adopted. For special forces "Vityaz" and "VityazSN" (also cal. 9x19mm.). But, as always, they get it somewhere, and somewhere else they wait ...
    Regarding the VSS Vintorez and AS Val. This is a really specific weapon for operations in urban environments. It has also proven itself well in mountainous and wooded areas, when it is necessary to ensure the silence of destruction in an ambush or in a reconnaissance search. They do not give absolute silence, because the sound of the shutter automation remains. In general, the line-up of bullpup is most applicable for police operations (the so-called blakrolle operations) due to its compactness or for the crews of combat vehicles.

    The komenty, as always, starting from the discussion of the performance characteristics of Tavor, smoothly rolled down to cut the budget and other weapons)))) I personally liked Tavor, the machine is good. I am sure that it is definitely inferior in terms of reliability to the AK family (Kalash has no competitors here), but there are some advantages.

    I don’t know for Tavor, I am somehow more impressed by these:
    AEK-973, in it only put the whole butt (American telescope or our oar)

    FN SCAR L, especially since there is an option for 7.62x39 mm
    FN SCAR-L variant of "Close Quarters Combat"

    FN SCAR-H Mk. 17 "Long Barrel"

      And why is AEK so beautiful? The impossibility of modularity? Wretched ergonomics? Not a proven combat use? Maybe it has new technologies? What is really good in it?

      About skar they write that they are still damp. But the link is two years ago.

    Dear forum users!

    We urgently need a used georadar or equipment for seismic exploration.
    For the study of later voids, and cave formations. It is desirable with the possibility of analysis at a depth of 50 meters - this is important!
    We will purchase georadar equipment for cash, or we will rent it (with all necessary documents drawn up).

    Possible budget - up to 200 thousand rubles.

    If you have any suggestions and options, write to the mail:
    [email protected]

    Consider all the offers!
    Of course, first of all - the most budgetary options are accepted.

    Thank you.
