“Opportunities have opened up one hundred percent”: Ukrainian “enthusiasts” are modernizing the Strela-10 air defense system

Western media are circulating information about the “successful” modernization of the Soviet short-range air defense system “Strela-10”, carried out by the Ukrainian defense industry.

Ukrainian anti-aircraft system has found another life

- says the publication Defense24.

In fact, the work was carried out by local “enthusiasts” from a certain Odessa office “KB Tekhnari”, interested in collecting funds from the population. At the same time, their level clearly does not reach the status of a “design bureau”, as they position themselves.

According to the developers, the Soviet air defense system was equipped with its own product - the “Valli” optoelectronic system, named after Robot from the cartoon. Allegedly, it was created “on the element base of 2023”:

Such a strange hybrid of antiques and modern technology gave an unexpected result: the capabilities of the 50-year-old Strela suddenly revealed themselves by almost one hundred percent. As it turned out, Strela-10 can still shoot down.

It is explained that the Valli underwent combat testing for six weeks, ensuring the detection and destruction of five Zala, Lancet and Supercam UAVs. Now KB Tekhnari intend to organize supplies of their optoelectronic system to the air defense units of the “South” [the operational command responsible for Nikolaev, Odessa, Vinnitsa, Kirovograd and the part of the Kherson region controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine].

Considering the level of this “revolutionary development”, one can only wish for the further “creative” growth of KB Tekhnari and the expansion of supplies of creations created by this office for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Sounds like support for the Bandera regime

[Dinic]

No, that sounds like sarcasm.

[fruc]

It’s worth taking note of these New York “Kulibins” and their design bureaus, so that later they can sit somewhere on a kitsch and make stools.

[Argon]

Why punish such helpers? They are engaged in sabotage, which means they help us

[shin]

What they were doing will be shown by the result of using “Strela-10” during combat operations. Then we will draw conclusions.

[Synoid]

It is better to take note of the coordinates of this KB and give “flowers”.

[2112vda]

There is no sarcasm here. There is no need to underestimate the enemy, it costs a lot. The developers of these systems have a normal, high-quality, Soviet education. There is a civil war going on, we are at war with ourselves. One part of our people has gone crazy because of nationalism and Nazism. So we are raking it now. Our task is to reduce the level of thermal and acoustic signature on the Geraniums. The 2-stroke Limbach 550 does not allow this. We need to think about remotorizing the Geraniums. War is a competition of weapons engineers. Whoever reacts faster to the constantly changing situation will win. So there is simply no reason for jokes and laughter regarding the plot shown in the video. We will not throw “hats” at Bandera. We need to turn on our heads and give some of our ministers incentives.

[Sergei Timofeich]

This is all bullshit, it’s just that someone doesn’t want to start the normal total disposal of banderlogs, someone wants to run around longer and shoot farts, instead of covering this bedlam with everything that is....

[2112vda]

Did you understand what you wrote?

[Archon]

Sarcasm is completely contraindicated at Military Review. Such an audience of this resource has seen cases of sarcasm many times and they were almost always misunderstood.

[Synoid]

Well, the author included ambiguity in his wish, but everyone understands based on their preferences.

[Vladimir80]

Quote: Dinich

No, that sounds like sarcasm

It's better to rephrase it anyway

[Aviator_]

The lengths to which the Odessa Sumerians will not go just to get away from the trenches. Their official chief there is probably the Zits Chairman Pound.

[Synoid]

I also thought about this, now there are slightly fewer volunteers in Ukraine than soldiers on the front line. Moreover, the majority really mow down, but so what - if you want to live, be able to turn around.

[Cananecat]

It doesn’t take much intelligence to increase the voltage on the board... most likely the equipment will work at its peak, which in some way will give a slight increase in performance characteristics... the question is, for how long?

[75 Sergey]

I'm a sucker for creativity, I'd take a closer look at this crap.

[solar]

Considering the level of this “revolutionary development”

Judging by the article, the author does not have the slightest idea about this level. How does he take it into account? There may well be employees with experience in the military-industrial complex, for example.

[Oleg Fedechkin]

There was already one employee, a boy, who taught how to make tanks out of cardboard at the factory!! They buried the Azov man too!!

[Nexcom]

By the way, yes! I wonder where this cardboard construction set went? He probably screwed himself with his family over the hill and sits there and doesn’t shine....

[VPK-65]

According to the developers, the Soviet air defense system was equipped with its own product - an optoelectronic system "Valley", named after the robot from the cartoon.

Plagiarism, the cartoon character Wall-E has long been a fire-fighting tank with a “Blizzard” installation. This one really looks like Wall-E

[Vitaly Koisin]

I wouldn’t immediately make fun of this modernization. A team of enthusiasts, free from the rigidity and bureaucracy of “big systems,” can actually quickly do something sensible. Installing an optical-electronic station, by the way, is a completely obvious option; the Belarusians did just that at one time. Especially if with a thermal imager and the ability to automatically search for targets.

[Architect]

We love to laugh. Only then is there laughter through tears.
They also laughed at Musk, they offered him a trampoline, and he is now the leader in space launches.

[alexoff]

So Musk is the only one, now everyone is around the mask or what? The missiles to the boom remain the same; there are some doubts that those left over from the USSR, or even more so brought from Jordan, are capable of hitting an electric-powered drone weighing 6 kilos at an altitude of 3 km. Or does Musk's power help?

[Synoid]

So the trampoline is his feature, the rest is special effects. Musk or anyone else - it's not about the person, but about the machine that prints green toilet paper.

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

But in my opinion, these “enthusiasts” need to be shown what they did in the end, they attached optics to the machine gun, this is not a problem at all, the problem is to hit a high-altitude target, here you need anticipation, and calculation of height and distance, and not a weirdo with joysticks shooting at sky. I won’t say anything about MANPADS at all, the problem of MANPADS is not in finding the target, but in hitting the target, well, Geranek does not have powerful heat emitters, the air-cooled moped is closed in a thermal casing.

[Captain Pushkin]

In fact, in the NWO zone, both sides quite successfully use Strela-10.
There's no need for jokes here.

[2al]

Here is a fact confirming the effectiveness of such proactive developments
“Based on the available data, at least three such air defense systems were built in Yemen. Flir Systems ULTRA 8500 optoelectronic thermal imaging systems, supplied back in 2008, were used to search and acquire targets. The firing range of the R-27T when launched from the ground can reach 15 km.
At the September 2022 parade, three heavy trucks carrying launchers for R-27T missiles paraded through a square in central Sanaa.
The Houthis claim that on January 7, 2018, a Royal Saudi Air Force F-27SA was hit by a ground-launched R-15T missile over Sanaa. However, the wreckage of the fighter was subsequently not presented, and it is possible that the F-15SA was only damaged. Around the same time, a Saudi Tornado ADV fell in the northern part of Yemen, but it is not known for certain how it was shot down. "

[Synoid]

Well, you compared “Tetrahedron” and “crazy hands”. Here in the article it is written in black and white - they replaced the optical system and interfaced it. Recently, only three Wasps were crushed with Lacettes, wasn’t this a full-scale test?

[A. Evert]

“Now KB Tekhnari intend to organize supplies of their optoelectronic system to the air defense units of the “South” [the operational command responsible for Nikolaev, Odessa, Vinnitsa, Kirovograd and the part of the Kherson region controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine].”
And how many such “products” can these “Kulibins” produce? Is it time to form new anti-aircraft missile units in the self-propelled ground forces?

[Synoid]

As much as they buy abroad, they will supply as much. Well, if there is something to bet on.

[rocket757]

In principle, the platform is working, and you can visit anything on it... it would be nice to hang something on it.

[Oleg Apushkin]

Quite a workhorse when replacing electronics. We use T-55 on SVO, and it is older than this platform.

[Synoid]

Have you read the article? They simply replace the standard optics with purchased ones.

[Oleg Apushkin]

You know, this is not the last century and optics is closely related to electronics.

[Synoid]

Well, what it is in this modernization is a big question. Most likely a group of Nazis who are simply sitting away from the front line.

[alexoff]

Somehow I have big doubts that the Strela-10 rocket can aim and hold an electric-powered drone at an altitude of 3-4 km, it seems to me that someone is chasing it. A geranium or an eagle with a piston engine doesn’t matter, even MANPADS can see them, but it’s doubtful that Soviet missiles can perform such miracles. Especially considering that these missiles are being looked for somewhere in empty warehouses in corners and are being bought from Arabs of dubious quality. And even the most powerful OLS will not help much.
It is doubtful about the lancet because it is flying at too low an altitude and there will be too little time left before it taxis out from behind the forest belt.

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

If they dug up the sea, then the rest is a piece of cake for them...) Ukry, they are like that...)

[acetophenone]

Quite possible. Ours finished off the FABs, Ukrainians finished off the missiles. Who would have believed before the war that jet ski-based gadgets would sink several warships?

[alexoff]

What kind of missiles? Have you even read the article?
It feels like in the comments there were pros and cons to put this kb

[Synoid]

Not just a few, but the entire Russian fleet, with three fireships. You didn’t have television with internet until 2023?

Is it possible to have at least one proof that someone in Ukraine seriously stated about digging the Black Sea? I can bet 100k that you can’t imagine)))

[Synoid]

So if Jesus is Ukrainian, then they created the Earth. And you on little things - dripping seas.

Former boots are like that, they would have sent German engineers to cut down the forest, technology doesn’t need them, that’s marching!

If the operator’s work is reduced to a minimum or even set to an automatic start mode, then there will be enough time for the lancet; programming can work wonders with old equipment.

[alexoff]

And then they reduced the operator’s work to a minimum? Did you even read what I wrote or did you stick to one sentence, come up with your own and give yourself some pluses? Or maybe if you attach a ship's radar to a Maxim machine gun and reduce the operator's work to a minimum, then he will be able to shoot down daggers?

[Synoid]

Yeah, I remember sitting there reprogramming the lamps - the missile range immediately increased by 200%;)))

It doesn’t occur to you that you can mount a receiver into a rocket by pairing it with a homing head and aiming it along an optical channel.

[alexoff]

Doesn't it occur to you that no one did this?

[Synoid]

Wow, the men didn’t know)) That’s what they do in normal countries, google it if your religion allows it on Saturday. And read the article again.

[tank64rus]

And where is the Red Star on the screensaver? Zrada for the generous. The rest is all intentions without real implementation.

[Rob]

The C200 was also modernized. The A50 has already been shot down and recently the Tu22 was shot down from a distance of more than 300 kilometers.

[Synoid]

They've already bolted the warhead on and sent it around the Kremlin, and instead of Putin there's a hologram. You can put fakes in the same piggy bank, I’ll give it away for free)))

Lately we haven't heard anything about the Black Sea Fleet. Previously, almost every day they wrote that the carriers of Caliber sailed out on a combat mission, but now there is silence. There are probably no more ships left in Sevastopol? About 30 of them were sunk/damaged and the rest were taken to Novorossiysk?

[polar bear]

What 30 pieces? Are you sick in the head? I live in Sevastopol. Listen less to the Ukrainians' nonsense.

[Synoid]

So there were no ships or sailors left. What 30, write down - all of them were completely sunk, with a maximum of two days' worth of ships left)))

[polar bear]

So, when our enthusiasts are at the front, they invent something better, it’s normal, but when they are there, it’s funny? They don’t reach a full-fledged design bureau - an awesome argument! Did Kalashnikov and Zaitsev reach a full-fledged design bureau? They, unknown to anyone, by the way,
There were famous best gunsmiths among the competitors. Full-fledged design bureaus with certified specialists often lost to enthusiasts. And on the other side there are heads no worse than on ours.

The classic answer from security, can you provide proof about the assertion that Issa is Ukrainian?

[alexoff]

What do you have with the proofs about finishing off an IR-guided missile to work with OLS and turning Strela-10 into a fully automatic system?

[Tim666]

Quote from alexoff

What needed to be proven was that not a single security bot provided a single proof.
As for arrows, google the information: ways to improve old anti-aircraft missiles, in the 2000s, and for the S-200, it was proposed to install a combined guidance head on a missile, moreover, to Russian research institutes and not as an R&D, but as a working version of modernization for foreign customers, including, i.e. That is, working options already existed. I did not claim that this was done by Ukrainian enthusiasts, but it is possible.

[alexoff]

Quote from Tim666

You should provide proof that on the Strela-10 air defense system, the seafarers installed a control unit on the missiles. Does the Ukrainian marine digger have any proof?

Quote from Tim666

this has not been done, this is only the fantasy of a Ukrainian navigator who looks at you in the mirror. Why not imagine that a warp drive was installed there? Well, why not fantasize, give yourself some plus points, tell them that scientists allow a warp drive and arrange a victory?

And where is the thermal casing?
