"Able to squeeze the Russian systems": the US press about the new Belarusian air defense system "Buk-MB3K"

The Belarusian military-industrial complex, continuing to offer new products to interested countries, demonstrates its ability to play an active role and successfully compete in the world arms market.

From heir to creator

One of his creations - the Buk-MB3K medium-range air defense system - was noticed by the American edition of Military Watch. In his words, Belarus has become the third largest successor of the USSR's defense sector, yielding only Russia and Ukraine in terms of the scale of the acquired technologies and capacities. Thanks to this base, it has successfully “improved its Tanks and aircraft and provided services for the modernization of Soviet and even post-Soviet weapons systems, including high-end platforms such as the Su-27 and Su-30 fighters, ”the newspaper writes.

However, the new Buk system shows that Belarus is not only able to offer modernization of existing air defense systems [...] but is also able to produce its own platforms for export

- notes Military Watch.

It was noted that Belarus is capable of pushing Russia out of the world air defense market.

The newly developed S-band AFAR [dm and m] is integrated into Buk-MB3K, capable of detecting air targets at ranges up to 130 km. It is installed on a self-propelled launcher and is capable of operating in motion at a speed of 60 km / h. The radar can perform automatic target detection and tracking (both in active and passive modes), measuring its primary data: azimuth, range and radial velocity.

According to Belarusian sources, Buk-MB3K works on all types of targets: from cruise missiles to attack and reconnaissance drones. New digital communication and data exchange subsystems will allow the system to function as part of a larger air defense network.

Prospects for the new system

Moreover, "Buki" in Belarus itself, most likely, will be integrated together with long-range platforms S-400, which will be provided by Russia

- considers Military Watch.

According to him, the Russian Buk-M2 and Buk-M3 systems currently dominate the medium-range air defense systems market, and to a lesser extent - the Chinese HQ-16. They are direct competitors of the new Belarusian product. Thus, Buk-M2 is operated in about 10 countries.

The new [Russian] Buk-M3 far exceeds the capabilities of its Belarusian competitor, but it is noticeably more expensive. This could provide Buk-MB3K with a niche in the world arms market, which would be expanded by the US threats to impose sanctions against Russian customers. weapons

- writes Military Watch, pointing out the ability of the new product to press out Russian counterparts.

In addition, according to him, the new Belarusian system could be acquired by countries less friendly to Russia, such as Georgia, Bulgaria and Ukraine, which already operate the old Buk-M1 systems.

What can I say?
Well done Belarusians!

Of course well done, the main thing is that the violent neighbors do not try!

=========
And WHAT will they sell to "violent neighbors"? Radar chassis? And the missiles - WHERE will they take? All this "mulka" with "Belarusian air defense systems"it rests - in ONE small, but annoying for Belarusians" misunderstanding "- the 9М317 missiles are produced only by Dolgoprudnenskoe NPP! And NOBODY more! unless of course Russia will allow)! That's it!

Thanks for the detailed answer!

What are the youngsters? Put the old system on a new chassis? Or "Able to squeeze the Russian systems" :?

[Zaurbek]

They will press the modernized BUK-2M ... and in the Russian Federation they will put into service the Buk-3M and Vityaz.

And what then? By the fact that they are ready to supply weapons to "less friendly countries of Russia ... such as Georgia, Ukraine, Bulgaria ....."? And when the "fried rooster" got ready to peck Lukashenka in the same ... shorts, then to whom was the "call to a friend"? Lukashenka reminds me of one distant relative ...! All his life he played tricks, got into "stories"! And then he began to beg his relatives to save him ... he had to "help out" ... pay money for him! But, as soon as the "story" ended ... some time passed ... and everything started all over again! Figuratively speaking, when they dragged him to the stake, he yelled: save me! When rescued and time passed, the "op" began: Oh, I want to count! Oh, let me in there! "

And here is the support group .. I just clarify, ready to deliver? Or have they already?

Those that have not lost their competence.
The fact that, unlike Almaz-Antey, they did not arrange the world's longest bar counter in a former assembly shop.

There was no disaster. There were shameful moments that were caused by the general mess in the Russian Armed Forces at that time. When they remembered what they taught, and began to fly and fight as they should, the losses abruptly stopped.

[Zaurbek]

And what is the disaster for the Air Force in a five-day war with the enemy without its own Air Force?

=========
Especially about the "well ... hot shorts"! And the rest - too! Although attempts to "sit in one seat on two stools at once" seem logical for the leaders of small countries with limited resources and opportunities, and even those who are at the "junction" of powerful forces with diametrically opposed geopolitical interests ... But Alas! This is extremely rare! For "stools" have a nasty property to disperse in different directions, and then ..... Next - the impressive "Chryas!" - right ..... with shorts on the floor!

Not all, of course.

Why are good fellows that jackals in the markets of an ally, at the same time demanding weapons from him for free?
Well, to whom the jackals are great

[Senka naughty]

Logical continuation of the chain stuffing -

"Minsk is going to deliver the Buk-MB3K air defense system to Ukraine to fight the aggressor country."

[Asad]

Do you think this is impossible?

[Senka naughty]

Do you think this is impossible?

It depends on what you are talking about, stuffing or deliveries? It's scary to assume.

[Asad]

On the supply side, of course, the blowout.

[Zaurbek]

They can take part in the modernization of old BUKs and missiles for them, and Ukraine itself does a good job of surveillance radars.

[Ramon Mercader]

Something I did not understand, then the sanctions against the dictator, then the licking of the military-industrial complex products. A funny little article, especially against the backdrop of what is happening. Dances with an economic tambourine begin?

[Ramon Mercader]

Assad, what exactly?
To occupy a niche for a Belarusian beech on the international arms market? - more than. In any case, this probability is substantially greater than zero.
I am more confused by the timing and authorship of the article. We all know what is happening in Belarus and who the United States is, right?

[Wolf]

Iran can be supplied, but the price is favorable.

[Mountain shooter]

Belarus has not lost its industrial potential. Until. But they shouldn't have sold weapons systems to Ukraine ... even hinting at it. Although this is not hinted at by Belarus, but by the American edition ...

[Ramon Mercader]

Kamrad, I think the American edition is hinting at Iran)))
Just kidding
Although, Iran would definitely not be prevented by cheap Belarusian beeches.

[Wolf]

Do not highlight your last comment, just as Iran would not be prevented in more.

[Wolf]

If we consider that it can easily integrate with the C400, then the best thing for Iran.

[Evgeny Ivanov_5]

Now the Maidan will pass, Tikhanovskaya will put everyone on a stake, and then in five years we will see what opportunities the Belarusian military-industrial complex will have. And then the Chinese will leave.

Iran has its own complexes like mud. Why else do they need to develop the military-industrial complex of a foreign country?

[Wolf]

And for С400, but I'm not sure that Iran has a lot of them. The integration of air defense and missile defense can be done either from the top or from the bottom, not from the middle, but is it better to start from the top?

Now, after the elections, relations with Ukraine should change.

[rocket757]

Exactly, exactly. Anything there will change. It is not yet clear, though, in which direction ???

[agoran]

Are we going to divide Poland again?
And yes, Gdansk = this is Danzig.

[rocket757]

By the way, the Poles, if not for their fix idea and long-standing grievances, would have looked normal in GEYROP !!! Why would we touch them? From them, and so the stench and screeching without measure.
Let the Teutons control them ...
And so, GEYROPA becomes a little pleasant place .... let it be yourself, yourself, we have enough of our worries.

[agoran]

Poles cannot look normal.
Well, that's historically the case.
Well, the Teutons will remember about the German lands, which Stalin gave.
This is where the alliance between the Pshek and the United States comes from.
But the psheks do not remember that the Anglo-Saxons always did not fulfill their promises.

I remember here, I don’t remember here ... if someone thinks that this is cool and convenient, then he will still have to make sure that this is self-deception.

[agoran]

Here's an interesting topic.
He was engaged in trade with the Poles. We looked at the goods, the money was transferred, the goods were sent.
We looked at another product in the warehouse, offered to buy it.
But the goods are contracted for another firm.
They were surprised that they were refused even for a high price.

[rocket757]

This happens .... here the seller must keep the brand.
Although it may not hold, but then it's just a huckster ...

[military]

One gets the impression that after today's rally in Minsk the Russian Federation will stop supplying any missiles and missile systems to Minsk.

[Living7111972]

What's the matter: they will also impose sanctions against Belarus ...

We are not talking about the S-400, although they, as they themselves claim, have a complex similar to the S-300. These are Buk-type complexes. These are the complexes that Iran has, like mud

[Uncle Izya]

I hope Tikhanovskaya will leave the union with Russia
