Airborne officers are studying in the Ryazan center of the airborne airborne parachute system "Crossbow-1" and "Crossbow-2"

More than 100 officers and instructors of the airborne service from all the units of the Russian Airborne Forces take part in the collection of the special-purpose parachute systems of the Arbalet type, the press service and information department of the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

The course of theoretical and practical preparation for the use of "Crossbows" is designed for six weeks, classes are organized on the basis of the 309-th Center for Physical Training and Survival of Airborne Forces in Ryazan. After the training camp, the instructors will train the paratroopers to jump using the “Crossbow” in their units.
During the training course, each participant must complete over 20 jumps using these parachutes. The program provides for landing in various conditions - both during the day and at night, including weapons and using cargo containers to drop cargo.

Help (according to the press service and information of the Ministry of Defense of Russia)
Parachute systems "Crossbow-1" and "Crossbow-2" are intended for jumps by parachutists-specialists of special-purpose groups and intelligence units with a set of weapons and equipment.
Training jumps with the help of "Crossbows" are made of aircraft such as An-2, An-26, An-12, Il-76 and Mi-8 helicopters.
Parachute type "Crossbow" allows you to parachute with special equipment up to 150 kilograms in the range of air temperatures from minus 35 to plus 35 degrees Celsius at the speed of the aircraft when dropping to 350 kilometers per hour. The unique characteristics of the parachute system allow you to jump from the maximum allowable heights with the parachutist moving horizontally in the air to a distance of 50 kilometers.
Currently, special-purpose parachute systems “Arbalet-1” and “Arbalet-2” are in service with special and reconnaissance units of the Airborne Forces.

Well, we need to master a new technique. If she shows all the declared characteristics and is reliable - good luck.

It is gratifying to see steps forward in all military sectors, albeit with a delay ...

Everything is ready, it remains only to train the main groupings of the airborne forces to fly on new wings!

, which remained "the cat cried", will "fly" by landing method, and nothing else.
In addition, the D-10 was recently introduced for the bulk of the population, and the Crossbow is clearly for "specialists" who do not really need it, because I don’t remember real DBs with parachutes.

[Dikremnij]

You are wrong, special forces need "wings" like air, and parachuting can always come in handy both in real databases and in anti-terrorist operations, if you have ever witnessed wing jumping in reality, you will understand me.

[Senzey]

Finally, the troops began to supply excellent parachutes. To train specialists is not a problem.

What does it mean "finally" .., Of course, technologies do not stand still, but who will turn the language of the workaholic and workhorses D-5, D-6 and PO-9 who have served faithfully and truly as junk ?!

but whose tongue will turn to hard workers and workhorses D-5, D-6 and PO-9, which served faithfully, is called junk ?!

As training - yes. Reliable and easy to operate. Probably, for mass use - ideal, but it must be recognized that there will never be mass landings - it is difficult, expensive and inefficient. I don’t remember the TTX PO-9 already, but the Crossbow, apparently, will have a higher horizontal speed, which makes it possible to fly 50 km.

All wing parachutes have a design horizontal speed of about 130-220 km / h, so the range depends solely on the opening height, the mass of the landing, the speed and direction of the wind.

From a long time ago it was left in my head - in order to ensure the deployment of 1 battalion per head of a real modern enemy, frontal aviation is required. Never real however
The horizontal speed (on average) of 9-11 m / s is 130-220 km / h ?!
Shopopets, expert!
I’m embarrassed to ask - did you jump yourself?

Wow, I’ve got excited with speed ... moreover, I admit.
But for the rest, you don’t have to be rude - you probably didn’t have any plans yet, but I’ve already collected domes at the Parachute School

I'm not rude at all. "Shopipets, expert" - assessment of the declared knowledge of the subject, no more
I don’t argue with the rest, because laid the first dome only in 82

Click!
We said - parachutist from the word "parasha", but everyone had "Record books of an athlete-parachutist"
The army, however!

[Senzey]

Nobody calls these parachutes junk. At one time, I flew on many domes, starting with D-5, T-4, Ut-15, extreme purchases in our unit were made to Po-17 and Malva. You always want to jump on a more modern and controlled parachute. And if you are transferred from Po-17 to a crossbow, then this is a song. For the Airborne, by the way, they came up with a new Listch parachute, which was already written about in VO.

[s1н7т]

"As an artist to an artist" - why the heck of the current Airborne Forces parachutes? The main option will be "landing". Alas, not the time when the corps were ready to "bring the whole world to its knees" (C)

[APASUS]

How annoying these mannequins are, they don’t even look like people - logs in shape!

[bddrus]

The wing is more difficult to control than the dome, or rather, the dome has minimal controllability - therefore, skills are fewer, but the wing must be able to. Any paratroopers to comment?

[s1н7т]

controllability is minimal at the dome - therefore, skills need less, but the wing - must be able to

D-6 series 4 is controlled in the same way as the "wing", only the speed is low - that's the whole difference. But when you fly to the forest with a wind of 14 m / s, and even from the main battery, there is almost no difference!

[Aventurinka]

There are "wings" (including the Crossbow), which are called "student wings". They are approved for use by skydivers with little experience.

[bddrus]

I'm scared - I can only jump with a bag (this is my term)

[Victor]

In essence, "Crossbows" are sports wings modified to perform special tasks and, of course, they require special training, because their design is much more complicated than that of simple canopy systems. The fabric of the "wings" has a much lower air permeability coefficient than that of canopy parachutes, so the descent process on the "wings" occurs mainly due to horizontal flight and turns, spirals, when the air passes through a system of horizontal domed canopies. the ability, when thrown from a sufficient height, to produce many kilometers of horizontal displacement and land literally on a penny.

Well, unless you strengthen it - sports are not designed for heavy weight, but here - equipment + GK. So probably?

[Letnab]

and they are designed for heavy weight

[s1н7т]

I thought so
So where do they prepare GVA nicknames for firefighters?

[Dikremnij]

Also, let's not forget about the tendency of the "wings" to fold in case of sharp lateral wind currents and the need to control the takeoff weight of the parachutist (I know of cases when, due to underload, the wing partially folded near the ground and a person was seriously injured when falling).

[Letnab]

A system such as Vityaz with proper management does not add up, a very thoughtful machine ..

[Letnab]

in our aviation protection, analogues of Crossbows and a parachute Lesnik-3 are used. The technique is good, it forgives a lot, it is very safe .. Starting this year, we begin to train the first-time parachutists-firefighters from scratch right on Lesnik-3. The reason is the lack of round parachutes such as PTL-72 or Forester. And the L-3 system allows this!
By the way, at one time I started jumping from D-6 and D-1-5u, and Po-9 of series 2 and series 3 passed along the course of development, honestly, I don’t feel much desire to return to them after modern technology,

In, and no fees in Ryazan!
In the army would be so!
But that's me, dream up
By the way, where do they train instructors on VDP in forest protection?

[Letnab]

We are called the instructor BCP (parachute fire brigade) DPG (airborne fire brigade), the difference in the means of delivery and the main instructor PDPS (paratrooper fire brigade). Prepare at the air bases of the air protection of the regions with a license for training. The direction for training is issued by the interested air base. Previously, there was a single service for the entire Union, now in the regions, independently ..

[s1н7т]

Thank! Old warriors, formerly instructors of the VDP in the army, are they taking?

[Letnab]

you’ll laugh, but the current through the training courses for paratroopers-firefighters, their own specifics,

[gladiatorakz]

I would love to learn a little on Crossbow. Well done boys! Develop in everything! Glory to the Airborne Forces !!!

[Download Do Re Mi]

It’s a pity that there weren’t such people in my service, it would be very interesting to land from this one!
