French air force in Mali used a new high-precision weapon with a laser guidance systemFrench Air Force applied new precision in Mali weapon - aviation 250 kg bombs equipped with the AASM (Armement Air-Sol Modulaire, Air-to-Ground Modular Weapon) Hammer SBU-64 with a laser homing head (GOS). The bombing was carried out from the Rafal fighter, which, in addition to the bombing, had an on-board laser target designator on the underwing pylon. The accuracy of the new weapons was about one meter. This was reported to the ARMS-TASS correspondent on the eve of the opening of the 50th Paris International Aviation and Space Salon by the official representative of the Sazhem development company (Safran group) Philippe Vodka-Galen.

According to him, at the salon, the Sazhem company will present in its exposition the entire family of Hummer weapons: guided bombs with an inertial navigation system, corrected by signals from the global satellite navigation system (INS with GNSS); guided bombs with INS, GNSS and infrared GOS; guided aerial bombs with ANNs, GSNS and laser hsn. All three versions of this family of precision weapons are adopted by the French Air Force and can be used with the Rafale and Mirage-2000 fighters.

The French Air Force tried to test the new weapons of the Soot company in various tactical scenarios not only at the test sites, but also in combat conditions.

The first two versions of the aerial bombs were used in Afghanistan and Libya, and the third in Mali. In particular, in 2011 in Libya, during the operation "Harmatan", the French air force used over 1600 aviation weapons, including aerial bombs and guided missiles. Among them was the 225 AASM bombs dropped from the Rafale aircraft.

At the salon in Le Bourget, all three versions of high-precision weapons will be demonstrated not only at the Sazhem stand, but also at the exposition of the Rafale fighter developer — Dassault Aviation Company, as well as in the French Defense Ministry pavilion next to the multi-role fighter Rafale.

              What you just said is boltology aimed at mystifying elementary processes. In fact, everything is simple and difficult to complicate, otherwise democracy will come, complete.

              Even if some processes are not obvious, there is always an environment of these processes that reacts unambiguously.

              Regarding the issue under discussion: At the current moment, yes, it is necessary to supply weapons to the allies, despite all the antics of the opposing side.

                that is, in your opinion, is geopolitics an elementary process? Thank you, laughed heartily.

                Always there are some things, events, circumstances that are not obvious to the average person, that you simply shouldn’t be supposed to know about, either me or anyone else. There is always political bargaining, behind-the-scenes negotiations, spy games, etc., etc.
                In the modern world, so far there is only one player who can give a damn about the UN and the centers of power - the United States. This is a political reality, dear, and it is foolish to think that we can easily take and solve by force these, as you put it, "elementary processes". Everything was just in the old days, and they are long gone.

            And where are the interests of Russia? Its global interests lie precisely in the West, probably 70-80% of Russia's markets lie in the west. Syria for Russia is just a bargaining chip, Russia wants to show the world that without its participation such issues cannot be resolved.

            We are already supplying weapons to Syria. With Syria, we have no allied obligations, so only business and nothing personal. The situation in Syria seems to have normalized. In addition, Iran has such obligations, so let the Iranians put their heads there. If Syria offers us something that could justify a military presence and an Alliance treaty, then one might think. Well, the second point - if the situation worsens again.

            Just like that, to give out guarantees to the right and left without getting anything in return, so the allies will cease to respect.

        I didn’t copy-paste the other comments of karmasos full of intelligence and content, of course, you need to remember gays, where would you be without them? It seems that the gay problem in Europe is the biggest problem of the Russian Armed Forces and the Navy, and not the rearmament of the Russian army, personnel problems in the military-industrial complex and so on.
        By the way, I remembered how the VAF wrote about the problems with bombing in Georgia 080808. We make high-quality aircraft, but the aiming system and the bombs themselves leave much to be desired ... And we will continue to turn the site into a kind of yellow magazine "Blue Oyster" negative

          Here I am the same. But this insanity flourishes among the "observers" of the forum Chuvakin and Volodin. Constantly in the reviews of the rooster theme.
          I think this is a special distraction from existing problems and an attempt by the authorities to shift their mistakes to others (pin dos, rear-wheel drive, etc.)

            In Geopolitics, this looks normal, but when this "rubbish" is already oozing into news and technical articles, in my opinion, this is a strong overkill. Previously, there were many specialists in aviation and in tanks, now in aviation there is only one VAF left and all and sundry are "pecking" tirelessly, in KARS tanks they are "fighting", most of those who used to be able to reasonably and competently talk about technology go into the shadows - they just read Old and do not participate in discussions (I know several of them myself) ... I reread all the comments (about gays, migration, sailors and the fact that there are no goals in Mali) ... NOT A SINGLE COMMENT ON THE TOPIC NEWS !! !! hi

                Oh, how right you are. I myself often think so about the Internet.

                There was a time when Internet users were a community of professionals. And then in a flash, something changed and they turned into children and traders, with the same zeal pumping porn.

              When I first opened this site somewhere 1,5-2 years ago, it was very interesting to read about modern technology (my weakness), the reasoning of knowledgeable people, their dispute until the "last drops of blood" winked .
              Sometimes I go to the article "How are Kamikaze and P-700" Granite "similar?" the controversy was interesting. I will also note the theme "Sounds of Other Worlds"
              And then read in each of those about gays, the "rotting west", etc., as if it has something to do with a new plane, tank, rocket.
              ps and unfortunately really knowledgeable people less and less on the site. So I hope the VAF, Kras, Profesor and others will not abandon the site.

          Alexey! I fully agree with you. When a person essentially has nothing to say about the topic, he climbs into "gay pride parades".
          In general, this topic is considered below the level of attention of a civilized public, IT IS A PRIORI UNDERLESS! It is necessary to send fans of "strawberries" to a site close to them in spirit. IMHO.

                    13 Jun 2013, 17:52 / ITAR-TASS /. Aeroflot and Sukhoi Civil Aircraft / GSS / refused to officially comment on the information on the breakdown of the SuperJet 100 / SSJ 100 /, which was flying Moscow-Donetsk on 11 June.

                    The fact that the first SSJ 100 aircraft in the full version / tail number RA-89014 /, which entered service with Aeroflot airline, failed on June 11 after landing at Donetsk airport, a source in Aeroflot told ITAR-TASS and confirmed the source , close to the GSS.

                    To perform the return flight, the air carrier sent a spare plane to Donetsk. "The breakdown is very frivolous," said a source in the airline. "The plane has already returned to operating flights."

                    A source close to the GSS said that on June 11 the board was unable to perform a return flight with passengers, but returned to flying within the same day. On June 12, SSJ 100 with flight number RA-89014 completed three flights: from Donetsk to Moscow, from Moscow to Naberezhnye Chelny and a return flight to Moscow. The source did not disclose the nature of the malfunction of the liner.

                    The SSJ 100 aircraft in full version was handed over to Aeroflot on June 5 and began flights on June 7.


                    The Americans over there even report malfunctions on the F-22 and F-35, and here they are quietly stirring up a civil liner and something. How scary to fly on such a "miracle" winked

        Salem Zahran, director of the Lebanese Media Focal Center, said in an interview with Lebanese nbn that S-300 missile systems "are already in Syria, in the Damascus region."
        According to Zakhran, the S-300 “will not be used inside Syria, but will be needed in the event of an attack against Syria, and will be used against Israel and the Doha Americans.”

          What is Salem Zahran, if the S-300 arrived in Syria, Mossad and all Western media immediately reported about it

          Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday, June 4, that the contract for the supply of Syria S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems has not yet been implemented.

          "The contract was signed several years ago. It has not yet been implemented," Putin said on Tuesday at a press conference after the Russia-EU summit.

          "As for the S-300, this is indeed one of the best air defense systems in the world, if not the best. The best, probably. It is, of course, a serious weapon. We do not want to upset the balance in the region," the Interfax news agency quoted Putin as saying.

          Yes, Louis 14 it was, that still selfish person, almost considered himself a god. Remember the invasion of Algeria in 1830? Before that, Algeria gave them a loan of grain, since the harvest was poor in France. Well, the French "paid off" their debts by invading and capturing Algeria. In general, I watch historical films made by the French. They are civilized, they can shoot about others. It is about Russia in French films that nasty things are constantly said, it is imperative to insert "Greedy insidious tsarism", "Soviet imperialism" in every film like that. And what about themselves? Guillotine - where did the name come from? There they were executed like that, we didn't have that. It can be seen that the resentment for the battle on the Berezina was very deeply rooted in them, how the invincible Napoleon skidded, abandoning his army.

                        a little off topic:
                        The Georgians have found an interesting device called "initiator", a set of two halves. A device that allows you to turn on switched off cell phones and direct artillery at them!

                        The cellular signal goes to the servers of the cellular operator for processing. All imaginable and inconceivable commands that can be sent to the phone come from there. Send the command directly to the phone, bypassing the servers ... You can imagine this "initiator" of yours. It only looks like a call to the very top of a cellular operator, with the presentation of the appropriate powers. Or take over network control directly from a cellular company. And so that the operator's admins could not take control back .... Undoubtedly, in this version, the "apparatus" should definitely consist of two halves! Yes
                        You can also try turning on the phone directly, feeling for it with a directed beam. The truth is, the question arises - is it necessary to shoot at the telephone so groped? What kind of phone is this at all? Questions ...

                        Here I do not agree that what and what about the Georgians' equipment and weapons were at the level, ranging from modernized Israel’s carcasses to various equipment, which, although it was not in such a large quantity, still existed. About ours, then I noticed on the video and t-62 if the memory does not change. So the conditions were almost equal on earth. Regarding high-precision weapons, point y and even speculation even iskander.
                        If Saakashvili was not so sure that Russia would get involved, then the experience would be sadder. Georgians stupidly did not dig in and did not create a normal supply infrastructure.

                Here's what I found in the old synopsis on the discipline "BP ASP":

                The factory building consists of 2 buildings. The probability of hitting 0,24, and the other 0,17. 1 bomb is dropped on target. Determine the probability that there will be a hit in one of the buildings.
                Solution: apply the probability addition theorem
                P (A + B) = P (A) + P (B)
                P (A + B) = 0,17 + 0,24 = 0,41

                There is a theory of calculations for the specific conditions of the PSA.
                In addition, there are already calculated force orders (for each type of aircraft and helicopter) with TSA for certain probabilities of defeating certain targets.

                Well, and the cost of TSA should be asked from representatives of the military-industrial complex (MIC). Remember. How did the Russian Defense Ministry of General Sergeev have - "cost preparation"?

                  That you are something in the wilds. You can, of course, now introduce performance indicators into the discussion, all sorts of approximations of the coordinate law of defeat stepwise, but this is unnecessary.

                  I don’t know, as among flyers, among artillerymen the most valid thing is the defeat of targets in the immediate vicinity of their troops.
                  Uncle sat in the basement with a machine gun, and scribbles as best he can. The infantry buried their noses in the ground and can neither breathe nor ruin the air. And he is not going to pose as the Sailors.

                  What we have? Tactically important target (that’s precisely it is important, and not Hitler’s bunker, as some people think) And it must be hit.

                  You can adjust the tank or punching the walls, bypass the machine gunner from the flank. But he is not mentally retarded, and if he is not chained to a machine gun with a chain, he will not wait. Yes, and there is no one to hide the tank from anti-tank equipment.
                  It is possible by aviation with conventional ammunition, for example, NURSs. But the infantry is likely to be hooked, and vrazhin usually have anti-aircraft not only riflemen.

                  That would be something controlled here ... But we simply do not have it. And if it were, then these banduras for backlighting are not particularly designed for carrying with you.

                  And the artilleryman has to move the aiming point for the first shot farther away, bring the gaps closer to him to the "fork" and pray that the infantry and himself will not rip their ass off with their own shell.

                  Do the troops need guided ammunition and target designation for them?
                  Absolutely YES
                  Do I need to apply them according to tactical necessityand not when the cost of the target is more than the cost of guided ammunition at least 10 times?

                    I agree with you only partially.

                    Yes, such ammunition is needed.

                    But here's a specific example for you: in 1993, he took part in a command-and-control unit 1 VA with approximately the same name: "The destruction of illegal Chinese migrants (20-30 thousand people) by the VA forces in the area of ​​Lake Khanka."
                    Solution: a calculated outfit of adib forces using AB, NAR of various calibers and KMGU.

                    Do you think the cost of TSA matters here? And what TSA had to be applied here?

                    After all, you can throw them and KAB, UAB, UR "V-Z". Will it be effective - probably "yes". Is it cheap? Not cheap at all.

                        Here I am about the same.

                        You can gouge one of the buildings of the plant (see the example above), using 4 batteries, or you can hammer 1 KAB, or 1 UAB, or 1 OTR on it with a higher probability of destruction, but also with a higher cost of TSA (missiles)!
                        Both there and here as a result - the destroyed building of the plant.

                        What do you choose?
                        Provided that the target is previously explored and its characteristics are known.

                        As a result, you pay for the accuracy of hitting the target with the cost of the ammunition that you use. The question is whether you justifiably spent a bunch of "grandmothers" on "exact" hitting the target (performing a combat mission).

                        Here it is necessary to think and consider.

              Ammunition of free fall is dropped from the aircraft along the longitudinal or inclined range, and so often (depending on altitude and speed) this range or relative is less than the range of the same AK, RPK, KPVT, ZSU, etc.

              Now take your favorite criterion of cost and efficiency, so all the same, what is more profitable to keep the carrier and spend UAB or spend an ordinary "iron pot", but at the same time have a great chance of losing the carrier?

                  Well, as for conventional ammunition: The Israelis have a small stray, screw it into the fuse of a standard 155-mm projectile, and you get a 155-mm guided projectile with an inertial guidance system with correction according to global positioning data.
                  Similar kits, and with a wide variety of GOS, NATO has for free-falling bombs.

              Marines are not very expensive, pilots are an order of magnitude (or even two!) More expensive.

              That's why the Tomahawks were used

              The most modern (Block 4) costs ~ $ 2 million.

              Strike Eagle Flight Hour - $ 20
              + cost of high-precision b / p (from $ 50 thousand for 227 kg "Payway")

            For example, the cost of these bombs can be used to rebuild two of these villages (not counting the lives of people), if not more. And according to the sums spent on the entire war, in "dead presidents", turn Afghanistan into a Middle East economic dragon (with a stretch).

    According to Maksim Kalashnikov, author of The Broken Sword of the Empire, the USSR also used high-precision laser-guided weapons in Afghanistan. In Chechnya, this was no longer the case, only simple free-fall bombs. Something tells me that the money allocated for Russian precision weapons was spent by officials on cottages on Rublevka, Mercedes and BMWs, the Canary Islands-Maldives, etc.

                      Better, Yes! But whether it is more effective is debatable. The controlled "waffle" is essentially designed to fly to a precisely designated place with the exception of misses. The war is full of the unknown, misinformation: the required building will amaze, but the toilet is next to it, in which the anti-tank guided missiles (for example) are stashed and about which the intelligence did not know, no, and the blank may well "miss" this ill-fated toilet, because it initially flies approximately on target.

                        One can argue with this "effectively". Have you heard of Monte Cassino? There was a monastery for itself, did not touch anyone. The Germans did not occupy him - it was corny inconvenient to defend there. But the wise and far-sighted command of the Anglo-American troops decided to carpet-bomb the monastery and the adjacent territory.

In which such a knot of resistance was organized that the German paratroopers, even at the cost of huge losses, could not get out of there. Poles still can’t pronounce this name without tears. And the Germans in the end themselves quietly left. When the Americans landed in the rear created a threat to the environment

                        Exactly! Efficiency is determined by the end result. For example, in Syria, with its branched passages, camouflaged bunkers, it’s not known where, a guided projectile / missile in large-scale use is not much more effective than a conventional unguided, but much cheaper.

    250 kg caliber aviation bombs equipped with the AASM SBU-64 modular precision-guided guidance kit with a laser homing head.

    This deserves attention for the simple reason that the module "clings" to a simple FAB-250, and a high-precision ammunition is ready. Yes, not as good as a special building with aerodynamic surfaces dropped tens of kilometers from the target, but still, in greenhouse conditions, there was no opposition of someone who managed to get into the circle R = 1,0 m.

    The air bombs were dropped from the Rafale fighter, which, in addition to the air bombs, had an onboard laser designator on its underwing pylon.
    Here the questions arise:
    - if the target was highlighted only carrier then in a real battle, he needs to irradiate it all the time so that there is no disruption of the control unit. How real is it in the conditions of the European theater of war, where is it saturated with air defense and IA?
    - if the goal illuminates another designator, then this is a different outfit of forces: at least a couple of "Rafale". Or someone else. Group goal! Air defense and IA will not leave her without attention.
    - if TSU is on from ground post, then you need to drag the equipment for "direct fire", again - not comme il faut! Yes, and a serious enemy has laser radiation detection devices on every tank. Smoke grenades, and further in 1,0 m you can not get.
    Then, this is a weapon for important ground targets ... And they are covered by air defense. In short, there are weapons, but there are goals: there are many more Tuaregs! IMHO.

            With PANs, it’s also not so simple in our Fatherland.

            In the USSR, 2 military schools were involved in the preparation of PAN: a branch of the Voroshilovgrad Air Force School (Crimea, the urban settlement of Bagherovo) and the Stavropol Air Force Air Defense School. The first remained in Ukraine and has long been disbanded. The second - changed its specialization and became technical in 1993.
            In the Russian Federation, they were prepared by the Yeisk VVAU (VI). Not anymore. And at the faculty of "Air Traffic Management" (which includes the preparation of the PAN), girls studied too!

            Where they are being prepared now is hard to say. I think that - ANYWHERE!

            The basic specialty is an officer (for combat control) (OBU) in the Air Force or a navigator of guidance (SH) in air defense. The preparation included the theory of visual guidance at the scientific center using KO (i.e., TsU) and a field exit for 2-3 weeks with practice at the training ground (Mi-8, Mi-24).

            PANs were part of the GBU (combat control groups) subordinated to the ASV and were only seconded to regiments (battalions), sometimes even to individual companies of the SV or Airborne Forces.

            In addition to them, PAN could be prepared at special courses from among the Air Force officers, as a rule, decommissioned pilots, helicopter pilots.
            In Chechnya, there have been cases when allegedly trained sergeants were appointed to these posts (there were no specialists), although the position was captain. Well, the level was as a result appropriate.

            There are also many problems with the equipment. I mean old radio stations.

            This profession is akin to the artillery spotter of fire.

                    GBU (from the Air Force OA (TA)) were assigned to the division. GBU had several PANs (usually the number of regiments). By the decision of the division commander, PANs were assigned to the regiments (battalions, companies) on the front line.

                    There were still abnormal PANs. They were seconded to help the NE from OBU (ShN) KP of the Air Force VA or air defense aviation.

                    "Free hunting" was practiced in Afghanistan. PAN + 2-3 paratroopers landed at a convenient height for several days, where they could visually observe caravans of "spirits" or other targets. Well, they called in aviation. Not only the army ...

          Oh look what I found ...... I think it will be interesting:

          Aim bombing. According to foreign experts, the means of tracking targets and guidance systems for guided missiles based on radar devices, due to interference from the reflection of radio waves from objects located on the earth's surface (trees, buildings, etc.), do not have the necessary accuracy and practically cannot detect an airplane (rocket) during their flight at altitudes up to 15 m.
          Diagram of a laser tracking and guidance system: 1 - gyroscope; 2 - stabilized mirror; 3 - mirror; 4 - telescope; 5 - fiber optical fibers; b - photoelectronic multiplier; 7 - a laser beam sent to a ground target; 8 - laser beam reflected from the target; 9 - laser; 10 - weapon guidance system.
          In this case, laser systems sending a beam with an insignificant divergence, which is aimed strictly at the target, are considered the most promising means for location and aimed fire.
          Laser ranging systems, as well as laser rangefinders, gyroscopes, sights, bombing systems and other devices are already in service in the US Army. Rangefinders and fire control systems are installed on helicopters, fighter-bombers, attack aircraft, as well as on tanks.
          The beam of a solid-state laser (usually with an yttrium aluminum grenade) on-board or ground installation is directed at the target and, after reflection from its surface, is captured by a device mounted on board the aircraft. This signal, received by an optical telescope, is focused at the input of a photodetector and is converted into an electric current using photoelectronic multipliers, which controls an automatic target tracking and weapon guidance system.
          As soon as the laser tracking system, directed by the shooter at the target, accurately determines its location, the aircraft (or guided missile) can immediately go on the attack. When using laser systems for bombing and firing, especially at small angles of flight of bombs or shells in relation to the ground (up to 3 °), the accuracy of hitting the target is greatly increased (in 8-10 times).
          Laser homing heads are mounted directly on bombs and connected to steering surface control units. Such a bomb dropped from an airplane itself is aimed at a target illuminated by a laser beam. The target can be lit either from the ground or from an airplane. The average deviation from the target of the bomb equipped with a homing head was 3-3,6 m during field tests (conducted by the US military), while without laser guidance the deviation from the target reached 90-120 m.
          The laser guidance system allows bombing without lowering the aircraft's flight altitude. To do this, the aircraft controller must irradiate the target with a laser so that the bombs falling from a high altitude would homing on the target along the reflected beam. In this case, the aircraft may be at a distance unattainable for ground-based air defense systems ... Engineers Yu. Lokhov, V. SIPyagin, I. Lysova, Science and Life magazine of the times of the USSR

        Since they began to enlighten

        The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a GPS-based equipment suite that converts existing dumb bombs into all-weather smart ammunition. Designed in the USA. The first set was released in 1997 by Boeing. The JDAM Development Program is a joint program of the United States Air Force and the United States Navy.
        JDAM is a set of wings mounted in the middle of the bomb, and a tail unit with a controlled tail that allows the bomb to maneuver. There is also a computer with navigation equipment.
        Bombs equipped with the JDAM kit are sent to the target with an integrated inertial guidance system paired with an improved GPS receiver, providing them with an announced range of 15 nautical miles (28 km) from the drop point. The value of the CVO shown in the tests is 11 meters.
        The operating principle of JDAM differs from laser-guided bombs and infrared-guided bombs, which can be hindered by adverse conditions at the surface of the earth (for example, atmospheric opacity due to a dust storm). Recently, JDAM ammunition has been understaffed, however, with laser-guided heads (mounted in front of the bomb), since such guidance systems are advantageously used against certain types of targets. Thanks to this, the old ammunition turns into a combined modern high-precision weapon, capable of hitting, including actively maneuvering targets. The JDAM kit is used to upgrade unguided bombs with caliber from 230 kg (500 pounds) to 910 kg (2000 pounds). The kit costs $ 35000 for the GBU-38 bomb and $ 70000 for the GBU-31. As of September 2010, the Boeing had produced more than 215 JDAM guidance kits.

    The company-developer "Sazhem" (Safran group) Philip Vodka-Gallien of high-precision weapons, I somehow have not met before, although the Russian ear is cut off by the combination of Philip Vodka. But not about that.
    Our scientific companies are probably well-known Skolkovo, headed by billionaire V. Vikselberg (famous for giving almost a lemon of green to the leader of the "swamp" protests) and RosNano, headed by Chubais (the author of the voucher privatization), have created absolutely nothing. As an example of their activities, the division of budget money: In May 2013, the Skolkovo Foundation, after an audit by the Accounts Chamber, deprived more than 200 employees of bonuses and reprimanded the management.
    »Chubais Nanomanagement: Accounts Chamber revealed RUSNANO's economic insolvency. In 2012 alone, the corporation refused to finance 35 projects, calculated net losses of 2,5 billion rubles, and prepared another 21,8 billion rubles of state money for write-off.
    Draw conclusions. Can these Russian companies create anything?
    Evil takes the hell out of this organization and these organizers! am

    I want to share with you my recent discovery, this is a service for finding any information about a person! As I saw, I looked and thought that it was all a divorce, but after a minute I was horrified to see all the information about myself, about my friends, about my boyfriend! There is literally everything there and it's all in the public domain! Take a look yourself = - hh.rf / geB

    Good night. After reading the article, one thought comes to my mind. We made new ammunition in Paris and rushed off to test. For them in Mali are not humans (cannon fodder). They are not interested in a landfill. They found a beggarly country and watered iron from heaven. am How much they just threw off, I blow them away. Plus others. Justice 0. For lobbyists of arms it is time to issue a travel card to HELL. And lastly, some mats ..............

    They are training on blacks, and they will be used in Syria, Iran, and in the future also on us, Western crap. We need to go ahead on the floor at least.
