In the foreseeable future, the newest 6S20 "Mix" grenade-and-flame thrower complex may enter service with the Russian army. Work on this product is nearing its final stage, and soon the first samples will go to the test site. After their completion, the complex is expected to be put into service. He will be included in the promising combat equipment "Sotnik".

According to open data


The existence of the project with the code "Mix" first became known in February 2019. In the thematic collection "Missile-technical and artillery-technical support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - 2018" from the Ministry of Defense, the appearance and main features of the new weapons.



The collection pointed to the emergence of "conceptually new melee weapons" suitable for the defeat of manpower, various equipment and structures - rocket-propelled grenades and assault grenades. The emergence of such samples is associated with the generalization of the experience of conflicts in recent years. The development of weapons is carried out with an eye to introducing the next third generation into combat equipment.

The new details appeared only a few days ago in Izvestia and were obtained from unnamed sources in the defense industry. It is claimed that the development process for the 6S20 Mixture product is nearing completion. The documentation for this complex has already been handed over to the Planta chemical plant (Nizhniy Tagil), which is to start mass production.

The grenade and flamethrower complex is preparing for testing. The verification process will continue for over a year. According to the established schedule, state tests will be completed next fall. After that, the product will have to be adopted.

Technical features


The Mixture complex includes several main components. This is a multifunctional sight and two types of rocket-propelled grenades in disposable transport-launch containers. This architecture allows you to get the best balance of combat and operational characteristics.

There are two models of rocket-propelled grenades - with tandem cumulative and thermobaric warheads. They have a caliber of 72,5 mm and are unified in terms of their propulsion system. The parameters of the anti-tank ammunition have not yet been specified - only its ability to hit armored vehicles with dynamic protection is stipulated. A volumetric explosion grenade is said to be comparable in power to a howitzer shell. The flight characteristics of the grenades are unknown.

Ammunition is supplied in disposable tubular TPK. The ends are covered with breakable covers with a protruding soft rim to prevent impacts. The container has connectors for mounting fire controls.

The most interesting component of the Mixture is the sighting device installed on the TPK. The compact rectangular unit is equipped with day and night optics, as well as a laser rangefinder. There is a ballistic computer that generates data for firing. The processed signal with additional data is displayed on the monitor in the eyepiece. There is a spare open sight of the type used on old grenade launchers.

Depending on the task at hand, the grenade launcher must choose a TPK with a grenade of the desired type. An aiming unit is installed on it. When aiming, the latter provides the determination of the range to the target and the calculation of data for firing, which sharply increases the accuracy and effectiveness of fire. After firing, the container is separated from the scope and discarded.

Two in One


The need and combat value of rocket-propelled grenade launchers / grenades and flamethrowers is obvious. Such weapons allow you to effectively deal with various targets at significant ranges and have a positive effect on the capabilities of the infantry. However, modern samples of this kind have certain limitations - in terms of accuracy, range of targets, etc.


Complex 2S60 and its grenades

The Mix project, justifying its name, provides for the creation of a universal complex, devoid of such disadvantages. First of all, this is ensured by the presence of two grenades for different purposes. A single complex with such ammunition is capable of replacing the systems of two different classes currently in service, while obtaining comparable combat qualities.

The exact characteristics of the grenades have not yet been reported, but the available data allow us to draw some conclusions. So, the anti-tank ammunition of the tandem scheme allows you to get the maximum performance in the given dimensions. Such a grenade will be able to hit a wide range of light and medium armored vehicles. In a number of situations, effective use against tanks.

A thermobaric grenade is said to be as powerful as an artillery shell. Some existing samples show that the volumetric explosion ammunition in the dimensions of a grenade launcher is really capable of showing a high-explosive effect at the level of a 122-mm projectile. Such ammunition is of obvious interest to the army.

The most important advantage is the availability of a "reusable" sight with the most necessary functions. Until now, domestic grenade launchers / grenades and flamethrowers were equipped only with mechanical sighting devices with limited capabilities. In some situations, this could lead to errors and a drop in accuracy.

A fundamentally new electronic product will take on the most difficult tasks in preparation for shooting and eliminate possible errors. Accordingly, the shooting accuracy will increase dramatically. Optical-electronic sight with two channels allows you to use weapons at any time of the day, which gives serious advantages.

Weapons of the future


So far, not too much is known about the 6S20 Mixture grenade-and-flame thrower complex, but the available data make a good impression. Everything suggests that domestic gunsmiths, already having extensive experience in the field of grenade launcher systems, have managed to create a new successful model with great potential. It is quite possible that in the future the modern "Mix" will replace several obsolete grenade launchers and grenades at once.

However, the 6C20 product is not yet ready for operation and mass production. He has yet to confirm the declared characteristics during tests. Their completion is scheduled for the fall of next year, after which issues of acceptance into service will be resolved. Then some time will be spent on the release of a sufficient number of complexes and their development in the troops.

It should be recalled that the "Mix" is not an independent development, but is being designed within the framework of promising military equipment for a serviceman. Together with the grenade launcher, the Sotnik may include a promising machine gun and machine gun, new uniforms, protective equipment, communication systems, etc. Thus, the 6S20 project has a great future - both in itself and as part of promising equipment.

                According to estimates on another resource, such a sight will be from 200 to 500 thousand. This was compared to the prices of similar appliances. It is the calculator that will take into account different ballistics that is part of the software. And not the most difficult one. The price will be reflected at a minimum. I don't know what kind of sight and battery you have there, but based on lithium batteries 18,65,0, you can reliably provide the device with energy.

        Victor, how many smart scopes are there in a platoon? - 72,5mm caliber RPG-22 "Net" 1980, only added a second head "godfather". RPO "Shmel-M" caliber 90mm, maybe a new explosive is used in "Mixture"? The power of ammunition strongly depends on its size - "kuma" is better with a large diameter and a molybdenum funnel, "land mine" depends on the quantity and quality of explosives.

            Dmitry, "Mix" with a caliber of 72,5 mm is an analogue of the RPG-22 "Net" in caliber. The power of "kuma" is directly proportional to the caliber, the diameter of the funnel, that is, the larger the diameter, the greater the thickness of the armor penetration (for example, ATGM "Kornet-D" 152mm caliber armor penetration for DZ 1300mm). RPG-22 "Net" (with ordinary copper), caliber 72,5mm, armor penetration 400mm. What tank with a remote control is planned to be penetrated by the Mixture?

              A universal grenade and flamethrower complex. They say it can work on tanks.
              A new "pocket artillery" was developed for the Russian infantry. The Smes universal grenade-and-flame thrower complex, developed for the third-generation domestic combat equipment Sotnik, is already being tested. In terms of its power, a disposable grenade launcher will not be inferior to a howitzer projectile, and its modern sight will make it possible to destroy enemy tanks and shelters at night as easily as during the day. The emergence of such weapons will provide soldiers with superiority in urban combat, experts say.

There is a rocket launcher "Bur" caliber 62mm with a thermobaric warhead, in service since 2014. There is RShG-2 caliber 72,5mm with a thermobaric warhead, in service since 2000.

                  You, as an adult living in Russia, should understand: Unification is in general not about our weapons manufacturers. And the customer is not thinking of lowering the degree of raznosorty in our troops.
                  Therefore, the situation with the development of a single, removable universal sight for already existing samples of grenade launchers / flamethrowers - I consider impossible in our reality.

                  Everyone, both manufacturers and developers, wants to eat hearty from the trough of the State Defense Order, so we will repeatedly see the presentation under the guise of "new" and "promising" samples, which are simply differently compiled nodes and solutions.

                Dmitry, analogue of RShG-1 - RMG "Skid" - caliber 105mm, length 1135mm, grenade weight about 8kg, only "Skid" has a tandem - leading "godfather" + thermobaric warhead. The "Mix" (as I understood after reading the article) has a tandem - 2 "kums" - the leading one for the passage through the DZ and the main one for armor. As I understand it, they took the RPG-26 "Aglen" - modernized the grenade - made a tandem of 2 "kum" like the RPG-28 "Cranberry", only they did not increase the caliber, probably the weight could not be increased. A simple thermobaric warhead is suitable for light armored vehicles and "shahid-mobiles". I agree the number of RPGs, RPOs, RShGs, RMGs and other shots for the RPG-7 is too large and a simple conscript will get confused in the names and purpose for use, and in battle he will be given an RPG-6 from the strategic reserve warehouses and "burn the enemy's tank" as want ...

                  As I understand it, they took the RPG-26 "Aglen" - modernized the grenade, made a tandem of 2 "godfathers" like the RPG-28 "Cranberry"
                  It's just that it's time to replace the RPG-26: after all, my age, 1985. birth wassat
                  Here is "Basalt" and added a precharge to a new grenade, to combat the remote sensing.
                  This does not mean that the grenade from this suddenly became more "anti-tank" - it can still hit a tank only at vulnerable points, the roof or stern - it is just that now there is a trend towards the development of light DZ, for protection any equipment, up to patrol jeeps. Therefore, they added a precharge.
                  only did not increase the caliber

                  and the caliber should not have been touched. Basalt now produces grenade launchers and grenades for them in 3 form factors:
                  - Light: 72,5 mm caliber (RPG-22, RPG-26, RShG-2, RMO-A).
                  - Medium power: caliber 105mm or 64 \ 105 mm for tandem (RPG-29, RPG-27, RShG-1, RMG, and tandem shots for RPG-7)
                  There is also a bicaliber RPG-32, but we don't have it in service, so it doesn't count soldier Plus on RPG-7 grenades are generally of any diameter - and 40mm and 72 and 85 and 90 and 105 mm
                  And, one of a kind - a heavy RPG-28, with a caliber of 125mm.
                  So the caliber is normal, because it is being created to replace the RPG-26 / RShG-2. It's just that the "basalts" scratched the pumpkin, and realized that it was impossible to raise a lot of money on a simple replacement of grenade launchers, so let's add a sight, but more expensive ... xs, why is it even on a weapon with an effective firing range clearly less than 200m ...
                  Let's see if it will be possible to shoot from it without sight, will there be a simpler version of the sight - handle + optics, as on the Tula "Tempest" ...

          The main thing is not how many smart sights, but how many pipes will take the platoon, by the way a smart sight is not always needed, since there is a mechanical one. Power depends not only on the size, but also on the type of filling. A shaped charge to penetrate the side of the Abrams does not need a super-powerful one, as well as for light vehicles, and even a Vampire will not penetrate the front of the tank. Excessive power means excessive weight, the price is like shooting a tungsten projectile at a fly.

The RPG-26 has a direct shot range of 170m - an aiming range of 250m - you don't need optics to hit the "tank" ... then why "smart sight"? - they praise him as the main invention, but they are silent about the performance characteristics "Mix" ...

      For that you can take a few as a burden. Not a crushing pig, but a fairly dense set of coverage. In open areas, the shockwave is attenuated to a fourth of the distance. Thus, a furious blow at some distance can no longer do anything. Much more effective three or four side by side, and the result will be better.

      And what kind of damage can a thermobaric grenade inflict on a tank? After all, the mixture before detonation can flow into the cracks. For example, it can be subjected to a volumetric explosion by sucking the fuel-oxidizing mixture into the engine air path and into the refrigerated volume of the MTO. Remote detonation (before intercepting the KAZ) of a thermobaric grenade can disable the KAZ and devices on the tank's armor.

        Can bluntly break through the armor due to the blasting effect that the thermobar has
        In addition, there is a high probability that a variant with the creation of a "cumulative funnel" is used when the nose of the grenade is crushed before the explosion.

        Can not. It's a thermobar. Single-shot ammunition. Unlike two-stroke volumetric detonation, the cloud of the fuel-air mixture is not created before detonation.
        But after the detonation, the wave can "go numb". Moreover, it is much hotter than that of high-explosive or cumulative ammunition.

          Not certainly in that way.
          Thermobaric ammunition works like this:
          1. First, as in the CWA, the central sputtering charge is detonated, which has a high detonation velocity.
          2. From it there is an undermining and sputtering of the main charge with a lower detonation speed, while there is more fuel in the mixture than it would be necessary for the available amount of oxidizer or oxygen in the formula, it does not burn everything, but continues to scatter.
          3. Oxygen of the air enters into action and afterburns the fuel.

            So.
            No cloud creation followed by detonation.
            And the quote you provided confirms this.

            And the one who wrote this made it very difficult.
            It's easier. Undermining, after which a mixture of unreacted components, metal particles (usually aluminum powder) and an oxidizer is formed behind the shock wave front, which, after the destruction of the body, ignite, and by their combustion increase the temperature of the IWW and prolong its action, "feeding with energy"
            That's all.

        In theory, maybe, and many say that it should be straight, however, as the participants in the database in Donbass said, the bumblebee does nothing to the tank, it can scatter the remote control, knock down some devices, but defeat, even a temporary withdrawal from the battle is practically impossible. In particular, the commander of the anti-tank group with the call sign "Clooney" said that the bumblebee is generally useless against the tank, he personally hit it more than once and to the point of 0.

      Should be enough for most cases.
      The simplest and most inexpensive kuma with a 7-7,5 caliber coefficient gives a reliable 500-550 mm armor penetration. This is enough for a guaranteed penetration with a large beyond-barrier effect of any modern or promising armored vehicle (BMP, BTR, MRAP, BRM, etc.), except for the thickest frontal parts of the MBT.
      More expensive godfather with odds. 9 will give 600-650 mm of penetration.
      For a thermobar, the weight of the TB mixture will be like 500 g, which is enough in the vast majority of cases, if you do not set yourself the goal of folding concrete houses.
      A great advantage: due to its mass-dimensional characteristics, 73 mm RPGs can be carried less burdensomely from one to three (depending on the situation).
      Although, as I think, the military will also want to have 120-130 mm cumulative ammunition in the kit to be able to penetrate the frontal projections of tanks.
      In total, we have in the delivery: 10 RPGs with a thin godfather 10-15 RPGs with a thermobar and 3-4 RPGs with a fat godfather. For everything - a universal electronic sight. In principle, all that is needed for close combat (up to 200-300 m).

        An expensive fancy sight with 72mm and a range of about 200 meters? What for? It's like putting optics on Makarov. Okay, they say the thermobar will have a programmable fuse. Underdevelopment. Once you've started, you need to cover all the needs. 72mm. 105-110 mm. 1хх mm analogue of Vampire. On a single sight. And replace with this complex ALL RPGs. There is a good here. Provide for guided projectiles. LGSN or inertial to maintain on the trajectory.

    The question is who will have the "smart sight"? - without a "smart sight" "Mix" = disposable RPG (for example RPG-26 "Aglen" or RPO "Shmel-M"). Let me explain which soldier from a squad or platoon will have a "smart sight"? Maybe you need to make a "universal sight" for disposable RPGs? - attached a "universal sight" to that RPG, RShG, RPO ... which you have in stock, entered these models and the "sight brain" gives you the corrections you need. The sight will be more difficult (the input keyboard will be added), but we will be able to use the "old RPGs".

      The prime cost of any microcircuit / processor is $ 1, everything else is a surcharge, with a developed electronic base in the country this is not a problem.
      Just as in industry, the use of automation dramatically increases efficiency, so here too, it is necessary to comprehensively re-equip the army with electronics, which will increase its efficiency.

        Sight for "Mix" includes an optical channel, a night vision sight, a laser rangefinder and the same "processor for $ 1" - a ballistic computer with data output to the monitor in the eyepiece ... don't forget the power supply (what is it?). In an article on VO yesterday, it was reported that a monocular night device was lost in Ukraine for about 190 rubles (a company from the United States) - these are the approximate prices for a quality device of comparable dimensions, of course, you can take cheaper parts ... from China.

      The grenade launcher will have the sight, I think. If the sight provides for the possibility of installation on the RPG-7, then the motorized rifle squad becomes very "toothy"! Ammunition nomenclature, firing range, etc. the old complex, are added up with increasing accuracy when using the scope, which leads to a significant increase in efficiency!

        The RPG-7 grenade launcher already has the PGO-7V-3 optical sights, the NSPU-3 "night light". The mounts for the sights of the RPG-7 and the "Mixture" are most likely different ... the RPG-7 has the old side mount of the sights, you will have to make an "adapter". And provide for a "data entry keyboard" - "old shots" have different ballistic characteristics and the "smart sight" must know which shot is being fired.

A smart sight is smart, which allows EXACTLY to hit targets, the Germans put a similar sight on their Panzerfaust 3 and got an increase in the range from 300 to 600 meters with an increase accuracy .. BV allows exactly what to increase the accuracy of shooting at a long distance, if there is an increase in the range of at least 100 meters, i.e. up to 800 with increasing accuracy, then this is exactly what the army needs

            There are no cumules with several consecutive charges. The leader and main in tandem is somewhat different. In order for the second cumul to get exactly into the channel punched by the first one, well, you have to try very hard. Plus, there should be a large distance between charges. For RPGs it is almost impossible to implement. Well, maybe a telescopic rocket a couple of meters long.

        This is not for fighting tanks. This is an analogue of the RShG - for fighting fortifications, battles in the city, and fighting light armored vehicles and shaitan-pickups.
        NATO BMPs are no longer "light vehicles" either.
        To combat medium and heavily armored vehicles, there are anti-tank systems and "heavy" Vampire-type grenade launchers.

    We need more accurate characteristics of this product. In general, a flamethrower is a terrible weapon. It strikes not only with temperature, but also with a superhuman pressure drop, but in a confined space. A shot from the RPO Shmel-M hits a 1m / 1m window, from a distance of 800m without super sights , the result is terrible. Flamethrowers are an excellent weapon in settlements, the best weapon against the enemy hiding in buildings near the infantry or landing force is not yet available. What will surpass the "Bumblebee" "Mix" is not yet clear. And why a cumulative grenade for a flamethrower? There are grenade launchers for armored targets These are different types of weapons, each for its own purposes.
