Finland received the first GM 403 radar

The US-French joint venture ThalesRaytheonSystems 15 on January 2013 officially handed over the Ground Air GM 12, the first 403 of the ordered ground-based radar for detecting airborne targets, to the Finnish Air Force. The transfer ceremony took place at Tikkakoski air base, where the headquarters of the Finnish Air Force is located. Until that time, the first complete radar station for some time passed extensive acceptance tests in Finland.

The Finnish Ministry of Defense signed an unusual procurement contract with ThalesRaytheonSystems in June 2009 together with the Estonian Ministry of Defense. According to the contract worth about 200 million euros, Finland acquired Ground Master GM 12 403 radar, and Estonia - two such radars. Training of personnel and the subsequent operation of the radar will be carried out under this contract, also jointly by Finland and Estonia. The contract with ThalesRaytheonSystems provides a package of service support for acquired radars for a long period, as well as the modernization of five stationary radars of Thomson-CSF (Thales) TRS-22XX (KAVA) delivered in 1993-1995 for the Finnish Air Force.

The ground master GM 403 radars for Finland and Estonia are mounted on the chassis of the Finnish SISU E13TP with the wheel formula 8х8. All locators must be supplied to both countries in 2013-2015. In the Finnish Air Force, the Ground Master GM 403 radar will form the basis of the country's airspace monitoring system, replacing the 18 KEVA-210 (MVT) radars of Finnish production, which are currently installed in 1978-1985.

Finns are right ... There’s nothing to spend the entire budget on people ... Now you’ll be too small to put aside the war ...

The presentation of the latest Taranis unmanned aerial vehicle manufactured by BAE Systems, “invisible” to radar, was held in the UK. The reconnaissance drone, designed for intercontinental flights, is named after the Celtic god of thunder Taranis ("Thunderer").

The technical excellence of the drone, as reported, allows the operator to intervene in his work only when the device asks for permission to attack when reaching the target. Otherwise, operator control is not required. The drone is also capable of independently maneuvering, performing various operations, in particular, making decisions on the destruction of missiles attacking it. BAE Systems Managing Director Nigel Whitehead said Taranis could change the use of drones in the future, as the UK could subsequently alternate between unmanned and manned missions. “This decision will have a big impact on the future of the British Air Force,” added Whitehead.
An “invisible" bomber, the development cost of which amounted to more than $ 200 million, weighs almost 3 tons. Its length is 11 meters and its wingspan is 10 meters. His tests are planned to be held in the spring of 2013 in Australia.

Bratyun in case of war, we have enough divisions of 10 aircraft and 100 tanks to conquer Finland

[Moga]

In 39, the division was not particularly worthy. Total losses under 100 people + Horses + gun. Finns are a dangerous and very smart enemy. If it is a sniper, then he will be the BEST sniper. If a skier, then he will be the best and so on ..
Do not compare peaceful beautiful Finland with its calm inhabitants and Finland during the war.

[Nikolko]

And do not compare the then Finland, when that people was ready to fight for freedom and independence, and the current tolerant, and homosexual, which was sold to Geyrope and Tana with giblets

[Sleptsoff]

We have also changed, and not for the better.

Well, they had their own, now they are putting improved, NATO standards. There will be something for the money to "drain" NATO.

Of course, after all, 40P6 (Growler) air defense systems of long and medium range

And the Ground Master GM 403 finns will acquire for their 9K37 Buk-M1 (SA-11 "Gadfly") replace the 9C18M1-2 radar (Dome)

- Finn, mean? - Mikhalych looked at Raivo. “After all, I studied Finnish at a military school, it was ...”

“Mikhalych is a general with us,” Leva explained in Russian to Leva, still standing below Raivo. - Come on, Mikhalych, give him in Finnish ...

- The name of? Rank? Where is your piece located? - General habitually barked in a tinned throat and, bending over the side, hung over with his whole mass over the foreigner.

- Private Kholyokosniemi! Utti aerodrome transport security company! - happy that they spoke to him in his native language, Raivo issued. He even involuntarily stretched out, remembering the months spent in the army.

- Great! - approved Leva Soloveichik. - Come on, Mikhalych!

“If you want to live, lead us to the rocket launcher!” - continued to demonstrate his knowledge of Finnish Mikhalych.

“We have no rocket launchers ...” Raivo said in Finnish and smiled bewilderedly.

Where's her TTX?

Found.
GM 403 radar belongs to the family of Ground Master 400 S-band (from 2 to 4 gigahertz) medium range (about 470 kilometers). The stationary version of the radar - GM 406 - has a slightly larger radius of action.
Damn decently!

I don’t understand why Estonians need mobile radars because it’s expensive equipment, and they seem to have financial problems there.

Something is seriously arming, constantly on hearing Fina. In just 12 years: 12 high-speed landing craft Watercat M18 AMC (obviously not sailing in the Atlantic); Norway has made the purchase of NH90 helicopters together with Finland and Sweden. In total, these three states are to receive 52 helicopters (Finam 18): Finland has requested the United States to supply 70 ATACMS M-39 Block 1A (Army Tactical Missile System) guided tactical missiles The ATACMS missile has a length of 3,9 meters and a diameter of 60,9 centimeters ... The missile is equipped with a GPS guidance system and has a range of 300 kilometers. ATACMS is launched from the M270A1 and HIMARS installations; the Finnish Defense Ministry has agreed with the Israeli company Aeronautics Defense Systems to supply 45 Orbiter unmanned systems worth about $ 31 million, which include 180 Orbiter II miniature drones; The Finnish Defense Ministry has agreed with the United States to purchase cruise air-to-surface missiles AGM-158 JASSM worth 145 million euros. According to Helsingin Sanomat, the delivery of missiles is expected as part of the modernization of the Finnish F / A-18C / D Hornet fighter jets manufactured by Boeing. The JASSM weighs about a ton and is capable of hitting targets at a distance of over 350 kilometers; In addition to the JASSM missiles, Finland has requested from the United States the supply of 600 anti-aircraft missiles. Stinger-RMP Block 1, ten Stinger test missiles, 110 launchers and related equipment. Against the background of all this, our General Staff at least needs to think about
