Well, good luck to them, now it will not hurt.

[Rustam]

this delivery was carried out under a 2009 agreement for the supply of armored vehicles and a loan of 2,2 billion US dollars allocated to Venezuela

In total, 123 BMP-3 units were ordered (6 units are now delivered) to 21 delivered in 2011 — the production rate of the Kurganmashzavod is a little depressing (and this is the plant that became famous for the disruption of deliveries of new BMP-2010, BMD3M in 4, and which is going to in droves to produce the platform Kurganets, BMD4M, Shell)


yes here is an interesting photo (clickable) at the end of last year, the Venezuelan army received SMERCH complexes under the same agreement of 2009

Russians walk the planet, amerosos headache

[strannik595]

As part of the exercise, on March 27-28, it is planned to carry out practical landing on the Noviki landing site in the Ryazan Region over 400 military personnel and 3 units of airborne combat vehicles BMD-2........... get hurt ....another party to Venezuela
......... and we have SHOWING (and, in theory, they should have everything new and better) exercises with armor from the warehouses of the USSR

[Nesvet Nezar]

And it's nice that our plants are working. More to sell, more!

Chavez is dead, but his work lives on! And it pleases

[beech]

[Artmark]

Venezuela was not talking about Russian power, there was anti-American power, which considered China, Russia and any other state whose interests were similar as allies and partners ... There are a lot of Chinese weapons in the Venezuelan army ...

[krutishka]

Not a bad "start" of relations with Russia after the death of Chavez.

the beginning will be when new contracts are signed and old ones are not broken

Anyway, you can be glad that the process is going on!

[Rustam]

Of course you can if we pay for all this (as part of an export loan)

here in the photo the new BTR-80A for the Venezuelan army there have already been shipped more than 100 units. The AMZ is working longer - all this is a pleasure so far at our expense - the only thing that makes me happy is that the enterprises are busy with work!



PS-PHOTO (clickable) one of the BTR-80A before being sent to the customer undergoes a control (test) shelling from its 30 mm cannon

[caprall]

It would be possible to fire armored personnel carriers from a machine gun, at least 7,62

[Rustam]

typo - I didn’t mean shelling, but shooting for verification and the 30 mm gun’s performance

and 7,62 caliber bullets - the BTR-80A holds what’s forehead what’s on board


here is another photo from the creeper (clickable) Btr-80a in Venezuela

PS- but in general there is a huge list under the agreement, these are T-72, BMP-3, BTR-80A, Nona SVK, Mortars, MSTA-S, BM-21 Grad, Zu-23m, support vehicles, Pechora2m, Bal-e S-300v

[Manager]

In the photo, are they going to shoot ahead of them? It’s just that it’s not like ICE to instruct the weapon,

[Phantom Revolution]

Without horns with ammo?

[not good]

A matter of habit, in such cases we could get a kirzach from a sergeant

[Phantom Revolution]

Why did they get it? What indicated that the machine guns do not have horns with cartridges? Hmm thoughtless and merciless forum)

[Dmitry 2246]

A stable supply of weapons is the key to future contracts throughout South America.

[urich]

here are the pictures of equipment in Venezuela. Taken from another blog. http://sdelanounas.ru/blogs/13873/

[horoh]

Yes, I really want the relationship between us to remain as fraternal as under Chavez.

[dmitry46]

BMP to Venezuela, aircraft to Malaysia, an aircraft carrier to India .... and when will we arm ourselves? Every day, the news was either sold alone, or with a friend, a supply contract was concluded. but the news that new vehicles have arrived in our aircraft appears less frequently.

and we just laid it, we’ll put it, we’ll start the modernization, the order is signed, etc., d +++

[caprall]

And who will pay the bills, we have the same money on offshore

[Rustam]

Somewhat surprisingly, the BMP-3 in various versions diverges around the world

Yes, she did not disperse, as you said!

A year ago, we discussed its charms and flaws.

in Venezuela, she follows our swami in the bill, but as they say to a gifted horse, they don’t look

The BMP-3 was good at the time of its creation, namely, 1987 and remained modern until the mid-90s (therefore, it was purchased in 93 UAE and Kuwait, Cyprus, Korea, but since the designers did not bother to make at least some improvements, it’s already 2013 in the yard the device is not modern at the moment

The RF Ministry of Defense also came to this realization, which is why a fundamentally new platform called Kurganets is being developed

[pinecone]

A good example of a truly mutually beneficial military-technical cooperation.

What is the benefit? In equipping a small country that is against the US regime? And what can they do in the USA?
I understand we would have extended nuclear submarines with yao to them. And then the armored personnel carrier. So the benefits are no more than selling to any other country.

[elmi]

Good news. Venezuela and Russia showed each other that they did not turn away after the death of Chavez.

Well, I don’t like modern BMPs, except for German ones. Neither the states, nor the French, nor the Russians, unlike the Germans, were able to create a combination of capacity, protection and firepower. And from the BTR I like the Swedish CV-90 the most.

[воронов]

Venezuelans use them for their intended purpose

[sibircat]

BMP-3 is a good car, otherwise the Arabs and Koreans would not have bought it. The price-performance ratio suited them, plus reliability. There were practically no complaints.
The sight is outdated slightly, the night channel based on the second generation image intensifier tube. But the Chinese even disassembled it ten times, could not copy.

[Krapovy32]

Yes, the problem is already ripe, it is time to expand and develop the defense industry. In order to re-equip ourselves in time and support friendly countries. And we will need allies very soon.

[Genoezec.]

The main thing is to confirm the pro-Russian sentiments in Venezuela at all levels, and then we will throw headaches to the mattresses.
