New developments of the Russian defense industry will help to more reliably protect combat vehicles.

At the Army-2015 forum in Kubinka, the Steel Research Institute demonstrated its latest developments, which can dramatically improve the performance of Russian armored vehicles, reports Messenger of Mordovia.

New developments of the Russian defense industry will help to more reliably protect combat vehicles.

For example, a ceramic panel to protect light armored vehicles. “Its protective structure consists of flat ceramics based on SIC on a steel or aluminum substrate. According to the agency, “this panel provides protection against small-caliber artillery shells with heavy alloy cores in caliber up to 30 mm.”


This panel is designed to protect armored vehicles. “It consists of roller ceramics based on corundum in a polymer matrix on a steel or aluminum substrate. The level of protection makes it possible to withstand the hit of an X-NUMX B-32 armor-piercing bullet. ”


Another development is a PAS-2B ply aluminum armor, designed for the manufacture of light armored vehicles. “It consists of layers of different strength aluminum alloys ABT-101 and ABT-102. Provides a gain in durability compared to homogeneous aluminum and serial layer alloys on 12-15%. "


And this is foam aluminum. Here is a sample that passed the test on a light armored vehicle by blasting an 6-kilogram explosive. “Foam-aluminum is manufactured using a new powder technology using high-strength aluminum alloy powders and titanium hydride (TIN2). The use of foam aluminum in the structure of the bottom gives a decrease in its weight by 300 kg, ”explains the publication.


“These developments will allow the domestic light armored vehicles not only to effectively fulfill the tasks of ensuring state security, but also to be competitive in the international arms markets,” concludes the Herald of Mordovia.

      As the practice of recent military operations around the world shows, in the absence of a full-scale war, the main danger for infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers remains: mines / warheads, RPGs, machine gun fire from 7,62-14,5 mm in side and rear projections.
      The armored elements + anti-cumulative screens described in the article would not hurt to apply for a start on the BMP-2 / BMP-3 and BTR-82A, in order to protect the crew and the landing of these "Workhorses" during the DB (here and now). Already in operation, it will be possible to raise the question of their use at Kurganets and Boomerang and Armata.

      On the lining (UVZ) - everything is littered with these machines, columbus, five-coordinate, CNC, a whole area of ​​electrical erosion. And you think what is the problem? FRAMES. On erosion - 2 guys just until recently worked. There is no one to work for them. We have not yet overcome the personnel pit!

        Not only at UVZ. Everywhere a problem; Personnel frames; personnel; The distortion of education in the nineties and two thousandths gave lawyers and financiers with a low level of training. But the engineers didn’t go out any better. When young people came to practice or after college I talked with them. Studying on posters, teachers of new technology did not see schooling only in books. They come to production and have to put them up as locksmiths to old workers to somehow they have mastered production. I won’t say that they are stupid, but simply under-educated. Not knowing the simplest subjects is the scourge of our technical education. You won’t go to grandfathers. They will help in practical training, but unfortunately they leave and often irrevocably. Unfortunately, I had to quit work. Alas, health does not allow. The newest equipment requires the deepest knowledge. And new young staff, but the Ministry of Education puts the poles in the wheels again, again they came up with new rules for entering technical universities.

        This hole is overcome not by education, but by experience! Experience should be passed on by people who have already worked on the equipment, but we do not have such people. Another problem in the cost of contracts, as a rule, includes a clause on training at the manufacturer's premises (abroad) - this can amount to up to 40% of the contract value, but our bosses usually refuse training in order to save money or to show their effectiveness as managers. Such a smart guy comes and brings the manager two contracts, one for 12 million dollars with a sub-clause on training, the second for 10 million dollars without training reports: "I'm a good fellow, I bent two lemma", and then our kulibins look at these machines like sheep at a new gate and I don't know what to do with them. Himself passed this nonsense on the Sibur. Youngsters who know how to use such equipment want to receive at least 1,5-2 thousand dollars, but our chiefs do not want to pay. So we are marking time. It's a shame there is no systematic approach, and the harrow does not tolerate amateurs.

          In many respects, you are right. In Soviet times, this was the seventies, I already wrote in the comments, we studied warranty mechanics from the Japanese. The Far East was completely closed. Education was conducted on the territory of the USSR. So age requirements are not more than 35 years old, work experience is not less than 5 years of specialty, education is not lower than a technical school in a specialty. I can’t say that higher education prevents nuts from being twisted. When I was a mining company, I worked there recently, I had to create a Service Center.
          to train machine operators, repairmen, the cost of repairing expensive equipment. You don’t have to think that only expensive equipment is used in industry, it came to the mining industry, in agriculture and is not nearly easier than in the defense industry. And you really have to pay with dignity. And you really can’t pay save. The failure, according to not knowing, of an on-board computer on a drilling rig cost the company 40000 euros and was simple for four months. I calculated the profit not received. That's the price of incompetence.

    It is high time. Ceramics and metal layers, cermets, cermets, metal polymers and so on and on ad infinitum. There is no limit to perfection. But immediately the questions arise: how to add the product from the parts ensuring equal strength of the part and joints, how to repair damage without deterioration of the material. There is still a lot of work, but the walker will be mastered by the walker.

      It's not that complicated. Look at Merkava-4. She's like a head of cabbage smile .
      Hinged panels, bolted. The joints overlap with a second layer.
      Damaged panels are not repaired, but replaced with new ones - sometimes it’s really straightforward
      in the field. A "technical car" drives up, unscrews the bolts, replace,
      screw the bolts.

        Not so simple. Yes, since you described Merkava-4, it seems to be good. Both Israel and Russia have extensive experience in using armored vehicles. So protecting armored vehicles from armor-piercing shells is one thing, but protecting against mines is another. Anti-bottom mine almost completely removes armored vehicles from a standing position. Look at the photos of the Afghan, Chechen, Arab Wars. With the massive use of losses in tanks and especially in crews will be big. And you need to think not only about the frontal and side armor but also the bottom.

    not only effectively fulfill the tasks of ensuring state security, but also be competitive in international arms markets

    The goal of being competitive is pushing technical thought. The presence of orders, including foreign ones, makes it possible for defense industry enterprises not only to exist, but also to develop.

    Or is it enough? To look for foreign buyers, where it’s time to really engage in your army, and not drive any foreign buyer, with your army, maybe it's time to measure not with money, but with conscience? Then we are surprised that our equipment is 5- 8 years old is being adopted and already obsolete and again we need money already for modernization

      But we don’t have money for our army. We must keep domestic energy prices at the European level (WTO), and negotiators have forgotten that we have cold winters and heating costs for our grief. Also with farmers, they were not mentioned either (state support is not more than 10%, and in Europe 40%), and then why is our food expensive? It’s just that our sorrow economists from the HSE have found Russia's only competitive resource (cheap labor), i.e. we are all cattle, and they are smart. This is how the country lives, no development plan, no strategy. I'm certainly not a pessimist, but state. a plan would not hurt us. By the way, there were fewer officials in the USSR, and their work efficiency was higher.

    The state is still far away. The equipment went back to the manufacturers for factory tests. After the factory will be finalized and after military tests. Allotted 1,5 years.

    With developments, it was always excellent in Russia. That's just bringing them to practical use, which do not take the time, caused problems. Current problems caused by 90s are the lack of qualified personnel. The rest is not so significant. Designing and building plants is not difficult and will take a long time. If you have money, buying equipment is not a problem, no sanctions will hinder. But with the frames - the problem. And the point here is not even that the young do not want to go to work in production. This could be achieved if the country's leadership were actually interested in this. For the most peak case, you can apply the methods of Peter the Great. It’s all about “if”. To address such issues, management should not only stupidly do the work, in this case, it comes down to instructions to local authorities and, accordingly, their formal replies about implementation. It is necessary to strive, for whatever reason (moral, political, economic, personal, etc.), to do this better and better, reaching maximum efficiency. Of course, at the same time, (real, not ostentatious) responsibility for bad work should be provided. Then all problems are solved.
    Poor knowledge of workers - abolish the exam. At the same time, the question of admitting “ballast” to institutes will immediately disappear, at least the competition will be revived upon admission, the choice of training in a profession, by interest, and not where they will accept (sending out the results of the Unified State Examination), the possibility of applying for real knowledge. And the workers will know basic scientific knowledge, or at least have an idea of ​​physics and chemistry, and other sciences will not interfere.
    Low salaries, which prevents priority and major industries from taking on additional state funding.
    There is no place for workers to live — there are so many built up in any city that it will be enough for its doubled population. Another thing - it is for sale. But this is the business of the government. And it should not be decided by the mortgage method (the method of "financial" enslavement).
    All social, economic, legal issues can be resolved if there is a desire. But he, it seems in the foreseeable future, will not be. And you all know why !!!

    (Not to you reproach) with this approach - and we will not overcome.
    You have to pay with dignity! That's the whole secret. And no commissions "to raise the prestige of blue-collar occupations" with Dimon at the head will not help if the hard worker gets 20 tons, and the secretary gets 50 tons.
    In our area people who want to work on a construction site or in the workshop cannot be found - for 15-20t.r. waving sledgehammers in the cold ...
    And they’re doing it right! Let the Russian bourgeois think.
    But they will not think - it will be a new "1917" year!

    There should be a state program for retraining personnel with subsequent employment and a control system, but so far this measure has no state-scale.
