Outfit of a Russian soldier: From "Warrior" to "Sotnik"

The Russian equipment being created by the Rostec state corporation will be lightweight, allowing a serviceman to take additional weapons and equipment with him. This is achieved through the use of special innovative materials for its production. The basis for the equipment will be a supermolecular polyethylene fiber.

This was told to the agency RIA News in the state corporation "Rostec".

They noted that the Russian defense industry in a short time has gone from "Warrior", which entered the troops relatively recently, to "Sotnik", which is still under development.

The new third generation equipment can be tailored to the soldier's figure and will not hinder his movements. Moreover, in terms of the level of protection, it surpasses not only its predecessor, but also all existing body armor.

The cushioning ability of the material is capable of stopping fragments flying at a speed of 670 m / s and dampening a shock impulse that could damage internal organs, even if the protection was not pierced.

According to the agency TASS, the development and testing of equipment should be completed by 2023. And the full equipping of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with it is scheduled for 2030.

Earlier it was reported about the development in our country of a special ultramolecular polyethylene of special strength, which can be used to create a new generation of protective equipment.

The exo in this case is most likely without energy, that is, his task is to effectively redistribute the weight carried by the fighter, which, in general, is also useful

Nothing. It is based on mechanical principles. And in general, the article is a simplified plot from Zvezda back in 2018.

Good question. The Americans still use lithium batteries on theirs. I think ours will most likely use them too.

The exoskeleton is not like a mech manipulator.
It does not have to have any drives that must be powered.
However, here it is necessary to read the opinion of a specialist.

You are absolutely right. The exoskeleton shown in the photo for the article is passive, i.e. not having drives for movement. Its task is to remove the load created by portable weapons, body armor and other items of equipment from the shoulders, from the belt and, accordingly, from the legs of a soldier and transfer it to the supporting surfaces. On, so to speak, soles. At the same time, the possibilities of movement for a soldier imprisoned in the ES are rather limited and peculiar. You can move in such an ES only on not very rugged terrain, waddling from foot to foot. Raiding the mountains, jumping up the stairs of city buildings or waging a maneuverable battle in such an ES will not work. Is that only to go to the embrasures, packed in super-heavy armor.

Part of the new equipment should be a new shooting complex (for a new ammunition?), And much more. So 23 is very optimistic.
Here AK-12 took ten years ...

Support!

The basis for the equipment will be a supermolecular polyethylene fiber.

Interestingly, what is the heat resistance of this material, how will it behave in fire?

[hydro]

Hopefully in a helmet a minicomputer that allows you to determine the location of the enemy, the range of the enemy, the number and coordinating actions of the soldier?

[hydro]

And still comes the era of again iron armor, only automated by a computer, drive a computer into a helmet and a VR screen and you can get a good universal fighter)

[dragy52rus]

VR screen

rather augmented reality.

[hydro]

But why? the screen with the help of neural helps to identify enemies, the computer, coupled with weapons, allows you to calculate aimed fire and all that remains is to make a shot.

yes, the ideas of science fiction writers are being put into practice. sometimes you wonder where they get such ideas.

From the achievements of scientific and technological progress. If there is an idea, someone will look for a solution.

Created by the state corporation "Rostec" Russian equipment will have a low weight, allowing a soldier to take additional weapons and equipment with him.

production? a soldier?
The main thing is to do without haste when releasing equipment ...

Interestingly, what is the heat resistance of this material, how will it behave in fire?

Let's face it - not really ...

The main properties of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene include:
...
7. low melting point (about 150 ° C), which does not allow the operation of products made of high-modulus polyethylene at temperatures above 80-100 ° C.

[Togilen]

There is no need to assert what you do not know in principle. Wikipedia is not an advisor in this regard. Read below.

[sannyhome]

What does Vick have to do with it? This is a quote from the manufacturer's website.

[Togilen]

Have you read my other comments or were interested in work on increasing the oxygen index of UHMWPE before you tweet anything? Of course not. Products webpage. What? UHMWPE, Sotnik-Ratnik, eh?

[sannyhome]

Come on without rudeness. "Chirp", as you put it, at home, in front of your wife, but here you behave politely. Information from the UHMWPE manufacturer's website, everything is described in sufficient detail there.

[Togilen]

You are nothing to me. So don't tell me what to do. And besides my nonsense I could look through other comments. It will be useful. Re-read it again, then start rubbing me in about the oxygen index and specific rupture in microplastics.

And how many variegated liberals and Russophobes made fun of the national nanotechnology project, Skolkovo. Like, it's a clean cut, money in the pipe and all that.
And here they are, nanotechnology, in action. And no one has analogues.

[Zloy]

UHMWPE is a dead-end branch due to its low temperature resistance

[Togilen]

Below answered this question. The addition of triphenyl phosphate solves the problem. UHMWPE has a great advantage in terms of loss of strength in water, which is sharply reduced in aramid yarns.

[Knell wardenheart]

The developments in anti-fragmentation light armor are pleasing, perhaps this is the most valuable thing that will be in Sotnik. An exoskeleton in a passive performance will not be unambiguously useful, the option with a closed helmet will definitely be unsuitable in a number of climatic zones and combat conditions.

[Togilen]

helmet and armor protection made of UHMWPE do not reduce their strength indicators from -80-110 to + 90 ° С

[Knell wardenheart]

No, it's not about strength. The point is an elementary problem when wearing helmets of this type in conditions of even slight smoke, high humidity, freezing temperatures, etc. I think it will be a very conditional piece of equipment, most likely in reality there will be a helmet + glasses.

[Togilen]

Where exactly do you see the problem? It will not be a conventional element; composite armor plates for the chest, armored helmets and other elements made of this material are already ready.
Armok has been playing with UHMWPE for a long time, not to mention other countries. It is no secret that we import industrial production of many elements for body armor due to insufficient production in the Russian Federation.

[Togilen]

Interestingly, what is the heat resistance of this material, how will it behave in fire?

UHMWPE itself has an oxygen index lower than aramid threads (for Rusar-O thread it is equal to 46%, for UHMWPE - less than 20%). In Novosibirsk, work was carried out to increase the fire resistance of UHMWPE by adding triphenyl phosphate, the peak temperature reached 350-400 degrees. This is lower than the peak load of the Rusar-O aramid yarn, but comparable to Rusar-S yarns (the third generation of domestic aramid yarns).

If the exoskeleton is passive, then yes, you can't jump on the spot, but if the passive skeleton is supplemented with rubber shock absorbers, or pneumatic springs, which will accumulate and release deformation energy, then it will be possible to jump through the valley, but not uphill.

and it will be taken from the air or other environment !?

Any passive exoskeleton has levers connected by hinges, if you add springs to the hinges, then it will be possible to accumulate energy in them. deformity, such as bending the legs, and returning it when extending
