How to clean weapons

With this video, the Ibis Hunting and Weapons channel opens a series of reviews in which it will try to highlight the questions: how to properly clean weapons? How, when and how often should you clean? What cleaning tools are needed, and what cleaning chemicals should be used? What accessories are needed? How not to harm the weapon with inept cleaning? In addition, on the channel "Ibis Hunting and Weapons" you will find high-quality reviews of weapons and new products from weapons exhibitions. Update:

The modern Russian Armed Forces are strikingly different from the army that was in the 90s and early 2000s. Today, the Russian Armed Forces receive the most modern weapons. Already by 2020 latest samples military equipment and weapons in the Russian army should be at least 70%. According to experts, more than 19 trillion rubles can be spent on the modernization of the army. Such a huge amount is provided for by the new state program on military-technical priorities and weapons. Russian army.

Prospects for the latest secret weapons of the Russian army

The rearmament of the army is not only the supply to the troops of an already created modern technology. In Russia, the development of fundamentally new weapons is constantly being created, and decisions are being made for their maximum development. According to experts, in the next decade, the Russian Air Force will receive newest species weapons:

  • over 500 aircraft of various types;
  • over 1000 helicopters of various types;
  • over 200 latest air defense systems that will join the single system aerospace defense;
  • the latest fifth-generation fighters;
  • modernized and new ballistic missiles for nuclear deterrence forces;
  • the latest types of high-precision weapons are a variety of bombs and missiles with latest systems guidance;
  • new types of anti-tank weapons and new generation air defense systems;
  • new small arms.

Additional development will be received by automated command and control systems. Perhaps in the near future Russia will have a super weapon that works on new physical principles. AT this moment scientific developments are underway to create this super weapons. At the moment it has the status of "secret". Also, developments on the creation of hypersonic air-launched missiles do not stop. They should appear before 2020. Hypersonic missiles will exceed the speed of sound by about 6-8 times. First views hypersonic vehicles should appear no earlier than 2030.

New nuclear strategic missiles

The basis of Russia's shield is nuclear strategic weapons. Its main representatives are heavy liquid ICBMs "Sotka" and "Voevoda". They have already tripled their service life. Today, they are being replaced by the Topol and Topol-M missiles, as well as promising new generation nuclear weapons.

- a small-sized grenade launcher with a reusable launcher and a single shot. This is anti-tank weapon was developed by the Instrument Design Bureau of the city of Tula, created on the basis of flamethrower RPO-M. MGK "BUR" was first demonstrated at arms exhibitions in 2010. This anti-tank weapon was adopted by the army in 2014. It has been mass-produced since the same year.

RPG-32 Hashim

SVLK-14S

SVLK-14S - ultra-precise sniper weapon, which is capable of effectively hitting targets at a distance of 1.5-2 km. This small arms was created by Vladislav Lobaev. His companies Design Bureau of Integrated Systems, Tsar Cannon and the Lobaev Arms brand are the first in Russia to develop and produce long-range and high-precision weapons, from the stock to the barrel. According to Lobaev, the main tasks of "Lobaev Arms" are distributed equally - this is work with the power structures of Russia and the commercial component.

The most powerful small arms in terms of effective firing range from Lobaev Arms is the SVLK-14S sniper rifle. Initially, the SVL rifle was designed to accurately hit the target at a distance of over 2000 meters.

The SVLK-14S rifle provides a very high precision when shooting. This small arms allows you to confidently hit targets at a distance of up to 2300 meters.

Sniper complex 6S8

The 6S8 sniper complex is the leader among Russian large-caliber rifles. The 6S8 sniper complex was created at the plant. Degtyarev. This rifle was created back in 1997, but for a long time due to various reasons it was not mass-produced and was not accepted into service. Nevertheless, after working on the bugs and collecting all the developments over the previous 10 years, the Degtyarevites managed to achieve the adoption of this rifle into service. This happened in June 2013. The ASVK large-caliber sniper rifle was put into service under the designation 6S8 sniper complex.

The 6S8 sniper rifle was created to solve special tasks to defeat lightly armored and unarmored enemy vehicles, including openly located manpower, including group and other targets at a distance of up to 1500 meters. The rifle can use a specially designed 7N34 cartridge, as well as the entire range of standard 12.7x108 mm cartridges. This large-caliber sniper rifle is structurally made according to the bullpup scheme. This made it possible to reduce the weight and dimensions of the weapon, providing increased compactness and maneuverability. In general, this sniper rifle turned out to be quite reliable and simple, which is incredibly important.

Russia's new surface-to-surface cruise missiles

  1. The BrahMos complex with the SK310 missile is a cruise anti-ship missile or a special cruise missile against ground targets. Work on the complex began in 1999 in related design bureaus (for example, NPO Iskra). The model of the rocket was first shown at the MAKS-2001 air show. Tests began in 2001, and in 2004 they began their mass production. The complex was offered for export. In 2006, the BrahMos missile was adopted by India. Many of its characteristics are identical to those of the Onyx and the Yakhont anti-ship missiles.
  2. The KTRV hypersonic missile is a project to create the latest hypersonic cruise missile. Work on its creation is carried out by the Dubna division of the Tactical Corporation Rocket Armament"(former MKB "Raduga") since 2011. When creating a hypersonic missile, the results of tests on the research project "Kholod-2", as well as the experience of creating a hypersonic experimental apparatus "Igla", will be used. In August 2013, it was reported that the TRV Corporation had created a hypersonic missile, however, it only flies for a few seconds.
  3. BrahMos-II is a project of a new hypersonic missile. The development has been carried out by NPO Mashinostroeniya together with the Indian company DRDO since 2008. The work was planned to be completed in 5 years. The BrahMos-II hypersonic missile was supposed to have a speed of 5-7M. In 2013, exhibition photos of the rocket model appeared.
  4. Zircon-S - missile system with hypersonic missile. The complex has been developed by NPO Mashinostroeniya since 2011. In 2012, there was a hitch with the design of the rocket, but since 2013, work has continued. In 2018, work continues, issues of creating materials, technologies, demonstrators, as well as the concept combat use the latest hypersonic missile.

The army of any country is its shield and sword. The main activity of these armed formations is the defense of the borders of the state and the preservation of sovereignty. Sometimes for this it is necessary to act not only on the protected territory, but also on the lands of potential enemies.

To this end, each country is actively developing various types of weapons. Especially if this is such a large and technologically advanced power as the Russian Federation.

Promising and the latest weapons Russia have different origin. Some began to be developed even under the Soviet Union, some were already created by the designers of the Russian Federation. The simplest example is the fifth-generation Su-57 fighters or the Armata universal platform. And this despite the difficult economic situation of the 90s of the last century.


Armored personnel carrier "Boomerang": Square and practical

Of course, the latest developments of Russian weapons are being carried out in all sectors of the military-industrial complex. Every year, the Russian military budget is effectively spent on financing a number of promising projects aimed at introducing and implementing edge-generation technologies.

In addition to the fact that the money goes to research and design activity, new Russian weapons are being developed and the country's military-industrial complex is being improved. After all, it is not enough to build a prototype of a rocket or a tank; it is also necessary to ensure mass and high-tech production.


In addition to the usual models of equipment and weapons, research is being conducted in the field of military technologies based on new physical principles. This is latest weapons Russia: laser emitters, railguns, magnetic accelerators, and, probably, a lot of projects that are not available to wide publicity.

Russia's new missile weapon

Almost from the very beginning nuclear weapons, it is used in the global containment strategy. The basis of modern weapons in Russia is the nuclear reaction force. Intercontinental ballistic missiles provide security for our citizens. Russia's new weapons are being regularly developed, and work on promising projects never stops.

Until recently, Russian missile weapons were represented by such monsters as "Sotka" and "Voevoda". But in last years they began to be actively replaced by Topol and Topol-M. In addition, new samples of these weapons are regularly sent from the depths of the Design Bureau for testing.


Topol-M: Timeless classics

RS-24 Yars

Armor-piercing modern weapons of Russia

by the most terrible weapon on the modern battlefield local conflicts are tanks. Armored vehicles, armed with cannons and machine guns, perform their role extremely effectively. To increase the chances of ordinary soldiers surviving and successfully countering such a threat, modern anti-tank systems and other similar new types of weapons in Russia are being developed.


RPG-29 "Vampire" with a shot

"Cornet-P"

"Kornet-P" is the most modern weapons Russia. An anti-tank guided weapon system with a warhead capable of penetrating up to 1500 mm of armor. The new armament of the Russian Army was developed in the city of Tula, at the Instrument Design Bureau. The saturation of Kornet-P in the RF Armed Forces began in 2011. It is mainly based on the Tiger mobile platforms, there are options for the infantry.

Modern weapons of small arms type

The infantryman was and remains the main combat unit of all the armies of the world. And for the effective operation of this type of troops, simple and reliable weapons are required. In addition to the development of rifle complexes for soldiers, Russia's promising weapons for the forces are being actively developed. special purpose, different kinds troops.


Kalashnikov assault rifle 12 and 15

Despite their simplicity and reliability, Kalashnikov assault rifles are regularly modified and improved. The latest developments in this area are models with the designation 12 and 15. In addition to revised ergonomics and internal mechanics, changes have also been made to the caliber of one of the versions. AK-15 uses 7.62*39 cartridges as ammunition, as in AK-47.


AK-15 is part of the modern equipment of the fighter "Warrior"

Two-medium ADS machine

ADS is a promising automatic system designed for naval special forces. The main and most important “chip” of the gun is the possibility of effective shooting under water and in airspace.

The ADS itself has a bullpup system. That is, the store is located in the butt of the weapon. It enhances ergonomics assault rifle and allows not to produce special versions of the product for “left-handers”. It has been in service with the RF Armed Forces since 2016. It is actively bought by foreigners.

SVLK-14s

One of the problems of the Soviet, and then the Russian military industry, has always been the inability to create a high-precision sniper rifle. In the Russian Federation, rifles of foreign manufacturers were often used. The problem was slightly solved when private company"Tsar Cannon", under the leadership of V. Lobaev.

Despite all the difficulties with the creation and sale of products, Tsar Cannon managed to create precision weapons Russia and enter the world market with a sniper complex of the SVLT-14s project. This weapon is capable of hitting a target at a distance of up to 2 km. Excellent ergonomics and the possibility of customization made it possible to quickly receive orders not only from athletes, but also from special forces units.


The nominal name of the rifle - "Twilight"

Sniper complex 6S8

6S8 - development of the Degtyarevsk arms factory. In fact, the rifle was developed back in 1997, but due to a number of reasons, production never began. They returned to the project after 16 years. AT new version weapons used all the accumulated developments.

6S8, despite the impressive caliber 12.7 * 108, turned out to be compact and light. This was facilitated by the materials from which the new weapons of Russia were made: the complex itself, and the store, located according to the Bullpup system. The main task of the 6S8 is to defeat light armored vehicles and unarmored vehicles at a distance of up to 1.5 km.


"Kord" is able to penetrate light armor equipment and helicopters

T-5000 OrSys

The T-5000 OrSis sniper rifle is a direct competitor to the SVLK-14s. Both of these complexes have similar performance characteristics. Another interesting factor is the manufacturer: OrSys - new weapons are produced by a private company, which is unusual for the Russian market. T-5000 has a high degree customization and is designed for accurate fire at a distance of up to 1.5 km.


Anti-aircraft missile systems


modern warfare seldom does without aviation. And if MANPADS and mobile air defense systems can cover from helicopters and low-flying aircraft, then from cruise missiles and aircraft on high altitudes something more serious is required.

The Russian Federation is currently armed with the S-300 and S-400 complexes, but a more perfect replacement is already being prepared for them.

SAM S-500 "Triumfator"

S-500 is evolutionary development S-400. New complex will be able to hit more wide range goals: cruise missiles, aircraft, ICBMs and even satellites in low Earth orbit. The project is currently under active development. Estimated date of adoption is 2020.


S-300OVM "Antey-2500"

S-300OBM is a deep modernization of the S-300 complex. Designed for mobile deployment in a specified area. Able to simultaneously conduct 24 targets. Main targets: aircraft, UAVs. Can hit ballistic missiles with a range of 2,500 km.


New developments of Russian military equipment

It is difficult to imagine an army not equipped with equipment. This list includes self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, wheeled vehicles, etc. Some of the new developments in Russian military equipment have received excellent marks during tests on the battlefields with terrorists in Syria.


BMD-4M "Bakhcha-U" - extreme modification of the Airborne Combat Vehicle

Coalition-SV

Coalition-SV is a double-barreled art installation with a caliber of 152 mm. Able to fire at a distance of up to 70 kilometers. It all depends on the type of projectile used. The rate of fire of the installation reaches 30 shots per minute. This is achieved by means of an automatic loader, which is introduced into the latest generation of Russian weapons.

The crew of the Coalition-SV is placed in a special armored capsule located in the chassis. The ACS is one of the vehicles developed on the Armata universal platform.


T-14 "Armata"

Latest developments Russian weapons. Most of characteristics and materials from which the tank is made are strictly classified. A feature of the machine can be called a high degree of crew security. This and dynamic protection, and the complex active protection, and a special armored capsule in which people are placed.

Initially, the project was equipped with a 152 mm gun, but later it was replaced with a 125 mm gun. However, the larger caliber was not abandoned and the next versions of the T-14 will be produced with a different gun.

New Russian weapons of the latest developments

Russian engineers are working not only on the technology we are used to, but also on devices of a completely different level. Some new types of Russian weapons were considered only the fantasies of writers a dozen years ago, but today they are quite real.

Yu-71

Recently, news about missiles and aircrafts capable of moving at speeds faster than the speed of sound. There is an active debate about the possibility of hypersonic flights in excess of 10,000 km.

And while everyone is arguing, Russian engineers are developing the Yu-71 project. Russia's new weapon is a drone capable of carrying a nuclear arsenal and moving at a speed of 12,000 kilometers per hour. At the same time, the machine is able to maneuver and dramatically change the flight path.


laser weapons

Creation projects laser weapons were still in the USSR. However, after the collapse of the Land of Soviets, all developments were frozen, problems with funding, etc.

Already in our millennium, part of the work began to be revived and actively invested in the development of promising projects of this type of weapon. In 2018, V. Putin officially demonstrated the operation of a modern Russian laser. A flying training target was shot down on the video.

Chukavin sniper rifle (SHF) / Photo: Press service of the Kalashnikov concern

So, for example, the Makarov pistol may soon be replaced by compact pistol Lebedev caliber 9 x 19 mm with a magazine for 14 rounds. In an uncharged state, it weighs 720 grams. Thanks to the modular design of the pistol, the barrel and sights can be changed, as well as a flashlight, a laser designator and a silencer. According to the creator of the pistol, the leading design engineer of the Kalashnikov concern, Dmitry Lebedev, new gun proved to be a "good boy".

The Ministry of Defense, the Russian Guard and foreign customers are also showing interest in the latest Chukavin semi-automatic sniper rifle (SVCh), which was created for three calibers: 7.62 x 54 and 7.62 x 51 mm, as well as for the .338 Lapua Magnum sniper cartridge. The microwave was developed in a new layout, which makes it possible to simplify the mounting of various sighting systems. The rifle also has a telescopic stock.

Meanwhile, the fifth generation of Kalashnikov assault rifles (5.45 mm and 7.62 mm AK-15) is positioned as advanced weapons, which is part of the combat equipment "Warrior". AK-12 has already passed state tests and, perhaps, it will begin in 2018 mass production. It is assumed that a 3.5-kilogram machine gun with a 30-round magazine will become the main long-barreled firearms in the Russian army.

In addition, AK-105 assault rifles chambered for 5.45 × 39 millimeters are already in service with the army and security forces. By production of the automatic machine new shock-resistant materials were used. And the improved barrel increased the accuracy of fire. Thanks to the modernization of the trigger mechanism, it was possible to facilitate the descent and avoid the problem of "twitching" of the weapon. By the way, other machines of the "hundredth" series AK-101/102/103/104, produced for export, are of interest to foreign customers. So, for example, about the desire to purchase a large batch of AK-103, suitable for a hot climate, said Pakistan.

5.45mm light machine gun, weighing only four kilograms, is another interesting Russian development that should go "in series" as early as 2018. According to experts, the machine gun that will replace the RPK-74 simply has no analogues.

"The decision on the purchase of this machine gun by the Minister of Defense has been made. We are now preparing the first batch for military trials, then a decision on serial deliveries will be made. We hope that testing will begin this year," said Aleksey Krivoruchko, general director of the Kalashnikov Concern.
