The most lifting parachute system will go to the Airborne Forces in 2020

The Sprut-PDS parachute system in the world will go to the Russian Airborne Forces in 2020, RIA reports News with reference to a source in the military-industrial complex.

As explained by the agency interlocutor, the development of this parachute system is planned to be resumed in 2020 year, so that by the end of the same year the first sets of the Sprut-PDS will be supplied to the Airborne Forces. The system was almost ready back in the 2017 year, he explained, but due to changes in the design of the Sprut-SD self-propelled anti-tank gun, the technical task had to be changed. The interlocutor of the agency added that the Sprut-PDS parachute system, as the name implies, was originally designed for the landing of the Sprut-SD airplanes.

The new parachute system "Sprut-PDS" is a 14-dome system with an area of ​​each dome in 350 square. meters The system allows you to parachute combat equipment weighing up to 20 tons from a height of up to 1,5 km with an airplane speed of up to 380 km / h.

Earlier in the holding "Tekhnodinamika", engaged in the development of a new parachute system, announced the suspension of work due to the change of technical specifications for the development.

We remind that at the same time, in Tekhnodinamika, work is underway to create the first in Russia controlled planning parachute-cargo system UPGS-4000 for landing special cargoes not exceeding the weight in 4 tons from aircraft Il-76. The system is planned to be delivered to the troops no later than 2021.

work is underway to create the first in Russia controlled planning parachute-cargo system UPGS-4000 for landing specialized cargoes not exceeding a weight of 4 tons,

Really cool! What are the possibilities for supplying autonomously operating units! It would be interesting to know the range of planning and how the system is controlled (remotely or integrated control system) to exit it in a given square and what is its accuracy ... In parachute systems, hardly anyone can compare with us ..

... It would be interesting to know the range of planning and how the system is managed (remotely or integrated control system)

.. The combined parachute system provides a controlled planning flight UPGS-4000, followed by a decrease on the landing parachute system.
The automatic control system, which is part of UPGS-4000, has protection from the electronic warfare means of a potential enemy. At the same time, communication facilities of this system allow remotely making changes to the flight mission to correct a given touchdown point.
The parachute platform allows you to place a wide range of special cargoes in the range of flight masses and ensures their soft landing when landing ..
UPGS-4000 is able to accurately deliver cargoes with a flight weight of 3 to 4 tons, including in the most inaccessible areas ....

Thank . As always informative. With syst. control in principle, it is understandable, but probably no one will tell you exactly in range before the tests, and this concept itself is too varied depending on the landing conditions, it must be measured in tens of kilometers so that the plane does not fall into the air defense or visual observation zone.

Here, most likely, the emphasis on the touchdown point (accuracy) is set and flexibility. I think that the adjustment after the discharge is already being carried out from the ground by the accepting cargo. The advantages are of course significant, there is no need to precisely aim and the influence of the wind is minimized, when dropped from a high altitude in Syria a lot of things got to the militants ...

Perhaps, taking into account the Syrian experience (the same boiler for many years in the east), the development was conceived.

========
What I remember is that parachute systems of the type “flying wing” seem to have “horizontal speed” almost twice as much as “vertical” ....
Those. if you are “thrown off” from 2 km - then you can “fly away” from the discharge point for 4 km (in the absence of wind) ...
True to land with them .... he’s still a "bogeyman" ...
Especially if near the ground gusty wind.....

[Vard]

I heard somewhere that the release of equipment seems to be more promising when the plane flies literally a few meters from the ground ...

[svp67]

I expect the gradual transfer of a number of tank bats of the airborne divisions to the new Octopus

In the first case, a waste of money .. Never and nowhere will this equipment be used in a real conflict! It would be better for these funds to organize the production of normal boots, the army uses them every day in contrast to these toys ..

[Each other]

You don’t understand anything! But how beautiful it is when the whole sky is parachuting!
And if, in truth, the Airborne Forces is not even yesterday, it is the day before yesterday.

And if there is no runway, how can the cargo be delivered? The Airborne Forces are not yesterday, only goals and objectives have changed

Perhaps the holding "Technodynamics" and could make good shoes, but it just so happened that he makes parachutes well.

At the current level of development of air defense and MANPADS in particular, these good parachutes will serve as additional good fuel for falling aircraft.
Well, one more question: is there enough aircraft? If I recall, even the USSR did not have the means to create the number of transport aircraft for landing even one division. And the modern military-industrial complex of Russia is not even a parody of the military-industrial complex of the USSR. These are pathetic fragments. The story with the "Armata", which could only be built for the parades to confirm this.

Well, of course, the Airborne Forces and the VTA were created solely to find and train enemy air defense. And not in order to move mobilely to the threatened direction and there to carry out the tasks.

Do you really think that a battalion of the airborne forces, even a "mobile-moving" one, can stop the advance of the NATO tank division? Will NATO sappers prepare a landing site for you?

Easy! (I understand that this is not at all easy, honor and glory of the Airborne Forces!) Unless, of course, they throw him under the tracks of the advancing tanks, as we like, but hit a key point: to destroy bridges there, multiply the command by zero, Yes, just cause significant damage on the march.

[Each other]

I see you have little idea of ​​the organizational structure of the tank division of the same US armed forces and its engineering support. She has a blown up bridge that the elephant has a shot.

I remember, I remember the slogans of the end of the 80s "We need rockets and tanks for a buoy, the country needs pans!"

Y-yes ...
As a retired navigator of the same BTA, I’m thinking how to recount all this jabber to the dumping point so that everything gets to the right place. Probably because of this - 2020.
