Russian soldiers are equipped with personal means of detecting snipers and drones

As stated on the foreign resource Defense Blog, the Ukrainian military allegedly got into the hands of the Russian army's laser radiation detector Spider ("Spider"). Along with previously received information about the intention of the RF Armed Forces to acquire this novelty, this indicates the beginning of equipping the troops employed in the NMD with personal means of detecting snipers and drones.

A device weighing 150 g is placed on a helmet (or other parts of ammunition) and recognizes laser radiation with a wavelength of 0,8 to 1,7 microns, in the range of which all known rangefinders, illuminators and target designators work. When a threat is detected, the fighter is alerted in three ways - voice with vibration (indicating the direction from which the danger comes - “left”, “center”, “right”), light (due to the LEDs located inside) and combined.

Two batteries allow the "Spider" to work for 12 hours at temperatures from -30 to +40 degrees.

Mainly, the "Spider" makes it possible to reduce the level of threat posed by drones: UAVs, when conducting reconnaissance, activate laser rangefinders that are part of the optical surveillance unit. They are also used in sniper complexes.

It only confuses me why the Russian laser radiation detector is called "Spider" in English?

[Al manah]

Probably because it's made in China.

[VSZMK]

Probably because it's made in China. Then why not 蜘蛛?

[Shurik70]

UAVs during reconnaissance activate laser rangefinders, which are part of the optical observation unit

An old anecdote from the first Iraq war comes to mind:

The Americans used a powerful electronic warfare system worth half a billion dollars.
And they drowned out all the electronics within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
But no one told them that there were no electronics in the Iraqi army.

Super-fancy geological exploration quadrocopters, of course, are used in NWO.
That's just the bulk of the UAV - cheap, equipped only with a video camera.
It is from such people that they drop grenades, what are we, what are they.
There are no lasers.

They could also call a guardian angel, or simply a bodyguard)))
But it will also be delivered abroad, and therefore the Western name.

[YOUR]

Like everything that is done for the armed forces, the product and then the index. All names like Acacia, Carnation .... are nothing more than factory names, they are not officially on the products.

Trite! Boring ! Nadot observe Slavic traditions! Therefore, "Charm" (!) ... and period! Well, at worst, ... "Amulet"!

[Bumblebee]

The amulet has no Slavic roots. I specify, on everyone different.

[Svetlana]

The original source, Defense Blog, probably uses English. It is possible that the customs author translated "spider" into English, but the Russian translator did not do this. In short, it doesn't bother me.

It confuses me why we learn about new products from foreigners

A month ago, Razvedos had a video with practical exercises in a cart.

[Novik225]

the photo shows the name of the device - on the case the word SPIDER

Look at the photo. The name is written on it in English.

[Million]

The Russian language is not honored now. Any other, but not Russian.
Even in the provinces. I generally keep quiet about TV.

[Stepan S]

The Russian language is now not held in high esteem

Did you tell us about Ukraine here?

[Nag1984]

What's the difference what it's called? The main thing is to be effective.

In the post-Soviet countries, especially Slavic ones, they are very fond of foreign letters and words, and those who use them where necessary and not necessary feel involved in the "civilized" world and are very cool, thus muffling their inferiority complex, so this is normal.

[iouris]

They arrived a little too late. Yes, even (most likely) and in insufficient quantities. Who will provide the batteries?

[lucul]

Who will provide the batteries?

Yes, there is a battery most likely from a smartphone, at 5 mAh. )))

[Ded60]

Well, at least something, but you have to give it out .... too late, not enough, there will be no batteries .... you have a miserable fontasia, khokhliks .... primitive.

[lucul]

It is wise, and helpful when spotted, to move out of the line of fire.
Just like a "light bulb" (sixth sense) in WOT)))

[DMFalke]

Only laser radiation. No radiation - no alarm. Spotters can continue to hover 150 meters overhead. IR, visual guidance - our design bureau still has enough work to do.

[Alien From]

It is hard to believe in such news, after mass purchases of clothes for a trip to the NWO

[igorbrsv]

We even go on an all-inclusive trip with our booze, you never know what

[Sailor]

Well if so, and even better if enough. Our strategic partner China could supply various goodies (from nightlights to drones). And there is nothing to be ashamed of if somewhere the ear was hung up and did not have time / did not realize to create their own. It is necessary to boldly buy everything you need, wherever possible.

[DMFalke]

The partner is busy organizing Afghan oil, not up to us.

[Neo-9947]

Of course, all the armies of the world buy something abroad.
But here you need to approach this issue wisely, and not like the army of some Estonia / Latvia.
We are a country with extensive interests around the world, which means that enemies can suddenly appear from around the corner.
So let's study the experience of a comparable country. For example, the United States is armed with foreign equipment (Italian Beretta, Swiss BTR Stryker ...)
But according to the terms of the competition, their production should be in the USA.
So we need to not just buy on Ali, but organize the production of foreign weapons at home.
By the way, Geranium-2 is a good initial experience in this matter, according to open sources.

[igorbrsv]

Chips must be produced. Rosnano does not itch. And we can make a kamikaze drone out of a chandelier. Only the tender can not be won on such a trifle.

Could, but will not and do not hope.

[Vyacheslav57]

used by the Russian army laser radiation detector Spider ("Spider")

Very good and effective item. And if this is true, then the words of American experts come true that the Russian troops during the Ukrainian campaign will be completely re-equipped with the latest weapons tested in this company.

Who cares. the main thing is that the guys are alive, and after the SVO we will rivet our spiders

[firemann]

There was already an article on Topvar, the guys themselves made such 5 thousand at a cost price, but the Moscow Region abandoned them, citing their own developments

Can you link to the article, I can't find it?

. More bells and whistles ... those that work as they should, needed here and now.

Exactly! Now it will be like in the movies! Remember? "Here's a bullet flew by ... and aha!" It flew by on the left ... yeah, the "Arctic fox" came from the left!

[rocket757]

There are supplements that help prolong life...

[AlexWar]

In fact, a car anti-radar on the head
In fact, an ordinary car radar, apparently with 5 receivers, 4 in different directions, one on top.
Camera forward, camera back, right and left, top. Plus the voice acting from which side the radar worked and the distance

[Elephant]

You can also use touch devices from Laser Tag. Moreover, miniature sensors that detect laser beams are located there on the helmet, vests and headbands. And in general, in my opinion, Laser Tag and Airsoft should be actively introduced into army training, which is more useful than drill

[Konnick]

And what kind of snipers have a laser sight? Does it recognize laser radiation, so what? Does the thermal imager recognize it? What about simple optics? Show a laser sight for a sniper, usually such crap is sold on Ozone or Avito for airsoft players.

[Dart]

A thermal imager usually works on a passive, does not radiate, it is not an option to detect, if only the reflection from the optics that collects external radiation on the matrix ... to catch the optics, you need to apply a special filter on the finder very good, even optics that are coated and with a filter glare ... but then the weight of the device will be incorrect and you need to keep it in the line of sight, you can’t correct it with your head.

[Elephant]

Actually, it was about laser sights and rangefinders.

[husband]

On a good optic or thermal imager, there is usually an optional laser rangefinder on the side. It accurately determines the distance to the target and corrections can be calculated on the application in the phone or watch. Much more accurate than the grid, but there is demarcation radiation. The new smart sights themselves and the corrections are calculated, but also with information from the laser rangefinder.

[tabex]

It’s bad that you have to buy all the novelties that save lives for your money.

[Elephant]

It’s still bad that the high officials responsible for the Military Industry do not experience in their own skin close to the front and real danger

[Uno]

A few things confused me:

1. How does it pick up radiation? Is the beam supposed to hit the helmet?
2. The second floats out of the first. If not, then such a device should shine more abruptly than a mobile phone.
3. All grenade drops from regular Mavic-type copters, they don't have any laser illumination. From whom will such a device protect? From Bayraktar?
4. If you are guided by a laser, then things are already bad.

[Mikhail3]

The beam must hit the photocell.
No, the photocell is small and does not shine.
No backlight, no detection. Do you need a treasury sword, and a dildo spear that beats everything in the world? Not yet. Tomorrow for lunch...
If a person fumbles along the front line with a laser illumination device, this is really not good. At home on the couch is good, but this is not. But the opportunity to find out that such a person exists, and ideally to send him a bullet as a gift, that's good.

[Nitten]

Name molded on the body - SPIDER

[Mikhail3]

What about pants and boots? Equip? Or still for yours?

[Beagle]

It's not entirely clear why this thing is needed ... So to speak, practical application ..
