Concern "Kalashnikov" announced the testing of a new secret weapon

One of the leading defense enterprises in Russia, the Kalashnikov concern, reported on the testing of a new secret weapons... At the same time, the manufacturer did not disclose any details.

Moreover, he published a video of the tests on his VKontakte page and asked readers to guess what exactly the concern was announcing.

If anything, this is a spoiler for a big release. Who can guess what we're announcing?

- written under the laid out video.

One of the readers suggested in the commentary that we are talking about the latest anti-tank missile system (ATGM), which will soon be presented by the Kalashnikov.

Really survived to the third generation ATGM?

he asks.

Another jokingly suggested the version that this is a new air gun for airsoft.

But so far the Russian manufacturer does not reveal the secret and continues to keep intrigue.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu spoke about the imminent creation of our "defense" weapons of tomorrow. It can be assumed that it was he who was shown on the video, but the head of the defense department talked about combat robotscapable of independently performing combat missions using artificial intelligence. He stated that the mass production of such weapons has already begun.

Obviously anti-drone.

Anti-UFO. Accidentally shot down.

[Trapp1st]

fool Accidentally shot down.

[Alex777]

Two articles on VO:

Concern "Kalashnikov" has tested the modernized aviation missile "Vikhr"

Concern "Kalashnikov" announced the testing of a new secret weapon

[Shurik70]

It is strange that there is no jet trail at the finish line.
This is clearly a rocket, too narrow and long to be a simple projectile.

[Krasnoyarsk]

The "exclusive footage" is very beautiful, but there is a question - from what distance did this execution take place?

[nond]

Looks like a flying ice ax or crowbar.

[vkl.47]

Crowbar-shooting railgun.

[Herman 4223]

I know exactly what's in the frames.
This is a new ammunition. Possibly baring.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

This video is generally distracting. In fact, Petrov and Bashirov will be cloned. Remember Attack of the Clones!

[Podvodnik]

cloning of Petrov and Bashirov

Imagine the picture: another Athens-Vilnius flight. Two dozen twins are going to land. And everyone is in scuba gear with fins. Someone in geyrope will "glue the flippers" at the sight of this. Eh ...... Would look!

[Palestinian]

maybe something to deal with drones .. or actual ... or maybe something applied .. we'll wait .... although hell will have to wait how long ..))

[Nyrobsky]

вPerhaps something to combat drones.either it is actual ... or maybe something applied ... we will wait ... although hell will have to wait how long ..))

So after all, judging by the frames, the arrival falls specifically on the target, and not on the pribluda at the flying distance. What antidron?

[volodimer]

Well, the drone is shot down So you can safely draw an asterisk on the trunk.

[Sergey Ui]

It looks like KAZ. The target wall is intact

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Sergey ui

It looks like KAZ.

Maybe. I slowed down the film and saw that it flew up (it is without stabilizers), but it is present or the defense from it is a question.

[9053430260]

It looks like a scrap. Crowbar flying at high speed.

[Bad_gr]

Quote: 9053430260

It looks like a scrap.

The scrap has stabilizers and practically does not rotate (the stabilizers would be clearly visible)

[Esaul]

This is a pipe, i.e. NATO pipe.

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Bad_gr

I slowed down the movie and saw what was flying up

And here is a frame from the tests of the "Whirlwind" (adjacent branch on the VO)

But a stabilizer is visible on it (it is not visible in the top frame)

[LiSiCyn]

ABOUT... And the birches are the same.

[Wedmak]

Yeah, too slowed down: long, thin, without bearing surfaces, of the same caliber. However, it is possible that the guiding planes from behind could not be visible because lubricated. Two screenshots before and after hitting. There is such a break.

Either NURS or ATGM.

[Fregate]

Quote: Wedmak

Either NURS or ATGM.

Or maybe an electromagnetic cannon that shoots crowbars?

[Wedmak]

There was an explosion, similar to the penetration of a cumulative. And for an electric gun you just need a scrap. It would be just a jink ...

[PN]

No, not just jink. There is so much kinetic energy that mommy don’t cry, it looks like a real explosion. See the striped test.

[Boris ⁣ Shaver]

Somehow it looked like this:

[Zhenya Khazarsky]

I think it's not an ATGM after all. If it were him, he would most likely hit the upper hemisphere.

[Boris ⁣ Shaver]

Quote: Sergey ui

It looks like KAZ

If these were KAZ tests, then, I think, the Internet would have already identified the "shell", for they would test that KAZ, firing at it with something ordinary in service. Proceeding from the fact that it has not yet been possible to identify the "shell", it can be assumed that it was just tested.
BUT))

The video clearly shows that the "fragments" flew in the opposite direction from the target. The target itself is just a shield, so we didn't test anything super-penetrating in these frames either. These and other similar questions do not make it possible to draw a conclusion in favor of "not KAZ"

[Thrifty]

I agree with the version about the new generation ATGM, the army needs this for a long time!

[tlauicol]

you can see how the pturs flies up

Why keep everything secret, the more Anglo-Saxon Russophobes will see the capabilities of Russia's weapons, the less desire they will have to fight.

So, after all, they secretly mainly at the stage of development and testing. And when this stray goes to the troops, then everything except technology will become available and will probably be offered for purchase by everyone.

[loki565]

The rocket is quite long, but the rudders are not particularly visible, strange, is it sho NURS armor-piercer ???)))

[A. Privalov]

The color of the flame and heavy smoke indicates high power, but low weight of the warhead.
Destruction or breakdown of the wall is also not visible.
The time gap between the arrival of something small and the explosion gives the impression that not a large quadcopter rammed something like the Soviet RGD-3.
If you remove the handle and other rubbish from it, you can reduce the weight to one kilogram.
A quadcopter from my grandson's Aliexpress is calmly carrying a bottle of beer to the 8th floor.

Who will decipher these letters?

American Music Awards?
The main thing is that in the photo I see a clear Picatinny rail.

The photo was chosen from the "heap ..." just for the sake of the inscription "Kalashnikov".

[Nurdom.]

It flew in and banged. Handsomely.

[Pilyulkin]

the music in the video is great! I suppose the work of a portable (portable) KAZ system. It will be very cool!

[Pilyulkin]

If this is a portable KAZ of a fighter, what is its effectiveness? group work. Detection station? Work against loitering ammunition? In any case, happy for the engineers!

[Pilyulkin]

AMA - anti-molition armor

[Wilderness]

Shoigu pistol. New model with slightly reinforced chuck. For hunting big game)))

[Vsevolod]

Option on the theme "Alabuga", low power EMO.

[senima56]

Still, most likely, a new ATGM!

[Vadim237]

There is no ATGM.

[Herman 4223]

The explosion knocked out a drone that was filming at a height of a couple of tens of meters. The explosion was in the air up to the shield. Countermeasures are not visible nearby, the KAZ must have a radar to detect such a target and must be at least somehow noticeable. He's gone.
So we are talking about an ammunition with a detonation function in the air.

[Wedmak]

There the mark on the target remained. So it is clearly a direct hit, not an explosion in the air.

[Herman 4223]

They also appeared on the far right flap. From a direct hit from a blank, this would not have happened.

[Romario Argo]

Looks like guided whirlwind missiles, Kalashnikov wrote that he tested them with K-52

[filalex79]

New scrap?

[Laksamana besar]

The world's first multipurpose ATGM, they talked about its development.

[SHOPPING MALL]

Kalashnikov serially produces the Vikhr ATGM developed by KBP. Now KBP has developed Hermes. Perhaps this is the second stage of "Hermes"? In addition, they talked about a possible hypersonic modification of the Hermes.
