The US-Swedish company FLIR Systems signed a memorandum of cooperation with the state-owned Ukroboronprom, which implies the provision of the Ukrainian army with optical equipment, reports MIC with reference to Interfax-Ukraine.



The document was signed at the exhibition “Weapon and security. "

The Director General of the Ukrainian concern Roman Romanov said that “the cooperation plans worked out by the parties provide for the modernization and equipping of modern optical equipment of the Ukrainian aviation and armored vehicles, as well as the supply of thermal imagers in the interests of the Armed Forces. "

“We are planning technology transfer and assembly at facilities in Ukraine,” he said. - The Aviakon Aviation Factory (Sumy Region), the Zhytomyr Armored Plant (ZHBTZ), the Kharkov Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering named after Morozova (KMDB), as well as the state enterprise Cherkassy Plant of Photographic Instruments. ”

At the present time, according to Romanov, “the conditions for cooperation are being worked out”.

      Yeah, so the Swedes will share their technologies ... They will entrust you with the maximum amount of glue on the bar code and the Laybu at the listed enterprises. Although maybe I am mistaken, and we will finally see a Ukrainian worker in a sterile embroidery following the programming procedure of a European machine. Where the robotic arm will assemble the chips and mount the LCD matrix.

    To ensure that their FLIR Systems will provide, but that's where they will put them on all the remaining 3 aircraft and 62 tanks? And what is the most interesting cost of this equipment will not be many times higher than the cost of the equipment on which they are going to put it? A FLIR good civilian portable thermal imager costs about 3 rubles.

            Yes, there is no hatred in me, Professor. Militants in the Caucasus do not need m-16s, and corruption in the military-industrial complex has nothing to do with it. Moreover, all these wonderful pieces will not begin to leave the assembly line, but the cyborgs themselves will make up from the turntables. Look, as an example, American radars. The Yankees did not have time to turn away, as a couple of their local radar detectors were tearing the colormet. That’s what I’m talking about.

        Yes, FLIR is a suitable device, somehow it was possible to use the civilian version. Has a good resolution, high-quality indestructible matrix. But recently, the Japanese and NEC have been actively pursuing them, and Israel is also making normal thermal imaging systems. I don’t know about ours, I think that they are behind.
        In general, the supply of such equipment is a dreary affair; in America there is an analogue of the Jackson-Vanik law, which prohibits the transfer not only of technologies, but even of the devices themselves to the countries of the former USSR. There was a period when, for the official use of the American thermal imager, it was necessary to report to the technical department of the Amer embassy for the fact that it was not disassembled and was not transferred for copying. So, apparently, the US defenders were pushing Congress on this topic.

    Russia runs the risk of overplaying the Ukrainian issue. Systematic preparations are underway for the Ukrainian army to advance in order to restore its southeastern borders with Russia. Putin is waiting, but what can wait-and-see tactics lead to? Minsk-2, which Russia was drawn into, from my point of view, is a gross mistake of the Kremlin leadership. The time for the removal of the Ukrainian junta is hopelessly lost. Putin was against the uprising in the Donbass, but the Ukrainian army’s access to the borders of Russia would not even look like a slap in the face of Putin’s image.

    FLIR on a helicopter is certainly a cool thing, but to control the border or the Basmachis, drive it. For active observation in the presence of multi-stage air defense - does not roll, the range is not the same. They knock down the turntable before it finds the fighters.

    At Russia Arms Expo - 2015, the Shvabe holding company presented aviation optical surveillance systems based on a gyro-stabilized ball-type platform, created by PO UOMZ JSC. The devices are equipped with highly sensitive optical sensors of maximum resolution and are designed for round-the-clock search, detection and recognition of ground and surface objects during a wide range of scheduled works and emergency operations at any time of the day.
    Thanks to the unified design, these devices can be installed on almost any platform: on board helicopters, light aircraft, balloons and airships, on unmanned aerial vehicles and other ground and sea carriers.
    The smallest of the presented devices weighs no more than 5 kg, while it contains two information channels and is equipped with a set of a laser rangefinder, television and thermal imaging channels.
