The Ministry of Defense is preparing for the presentation of the latest weapons
“It is planned for the first time to demonstrate a number of innovative weapons developments at the 9 Victory Parade in May 2019 of the year. Letters were sent to all the enterprises of the military-industrial complex with a proposal to provide information about such projects, ”the newspaper was told in the Ministry of Defense.
By the autumn, on the basis of the submitted data, a list of new equipment for participation in the parade will be compiled.
In particular, “for the first time, the 120-millimeter self-propelled phlox self-propelled artillery gun created at the UVZ can be presented, which is distinguished by the maximum automation of preparation for firing and firing; the gun is placed on the car chassis, which increases its mobility, ”the material says.
The self-propelled 2C38 "Derivation-Air Defense", Tornado-S MLRS, reconnaissance-impact robotic complex "Companion" based on a tracked platform can also be demonstrated.
In addition, among the vehicles that did not participate in the parades is a multipurpose low-noise Ka-62 helicopter with a single-rotor circuit capable of a speed of more than 300 km / h.
According to military expert Viktor Murakhovsky, first of all, it makes sense to demonstrate two types of equipment: "unmanned aerial vehicles that can be transported on car platforms, and robotic complexes."
As noted by Colonel General Anatoly Sitnov (in 1994–2000 - chief of armaments of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation), “the new equipment in the parade is used for the so-called psychological impact - it was for this purpose that the armed forces once demonstrated rocketry for the first time, new Tanks" and etc.
