The armored repair plant handed over to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation modernized armored personnel carriers BTR-82AM
The press service of UVZ reported that the components and assemblies of the transmission, chassis, electronic and special equipment of the machines were restored in accordance with the requirements of the repair documentationMOSCOW, 7 December. /TASS/. The armored repair plant (BTRZ, part of the Uralvagonzavod concern, UVZ, Rostec state corporation) has supplied the Russian Ministry of Defense with modernized BTR-82AM armored personnel carriers. This was reported to TASS in the press service of UVZ.
"JSC 81 BTRZ has carried out scheduled repairs with the modernization of BTR-80 armored personnel carriers. Combat vehicles have been brought to the form of BTR-82AM, passed all types of tests and were accepted by representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense," the concern said.
They noted that the components and assemblies of the transmission, chassis, electronic and special equipment of the machines were restored in accordance with the requirements of the repair documentation. The power unit, fighting compartment and components of 100% shiftability were replaced with new ones. The work performed made it possible to increase the firepower and mobility of the combat vehicle, UVZ noted, emphasizing that some of the spare parts were manufactured by the plant.
The upgraded armored personnel carrier BTR-82AM surpasses the base model (BTR-80) in terms of firepower. If the BTR-80 was equipped with only 14.5-mm and 7.62-mm machine guns, then the upgraded BTR-82AM is armed with a 30-mm 2A72 automatic cannon and a 7.62-mm PKTM machine gun coaxial with it in the combat module. The modernized machine is equipped with a digital two-plane weapon stabilizer. BTR-82AM is equipped with a 300 hp engine, it is equipped with a new generation of communications, such as a digital radio station R-168 and a system of orientation on the ground "Tron-1". BTR-82AM is equipped with additional anti-fragmentation protection.
Vityaz was a very long story to say the least... The components had been in development since 1990's. The early warning asset, 96L6VP and passive station 96L6TsP existed as early as 1998. The 9m96 missiles were even longer maybe dated in late 80's. I feel it's actually much closer to European Aster and American ERINT missile in terms of comparison.
Comparison between NASAMS and Buk kinda interesting as it's historically a repeat of comparison between Hawk and 2K12 Kub. The NASAMS may not be as "mobile" but well the system components can be moved by any chassis, even airlifted with Chinooks similar as Hawk. In the other hand NASAMS does not really have anti-missile capability unlike Buk which have one. Each launcher of Buk is self contained fire-unit that can operate independently in terms of producing firing solution and guide the missile. NASAMS entirely reliant on external designation for engagement.

That is Kurganmashzavod. They make the BMP-3 and BMD-4M.
The 12 missile per launcher was shown very recently like in past 10 years or so. i think the internal electronics are upgraded to deal with low altitude target at .01km height.
Another important thing is BukM3 is army defense system that works in open field while S350 is for protecting airbases and industrial. Airdefense system in cities will be always more advanced to engage missiles among buildings.
speed of engagement S-350 is 2km/sec. this export version.
Exercises on assembling and firing from the Russian ATGM "Fagot" by mobilized military personnel at one of their training grounds. The Russian ATGM "Fagot" was put into service in 1970, the firing range of the complex is up to 3000 meters, the rate of fire is 3 rounds per minute. The flight time of the rocket to the maximum range: 11 seconds, the rocket is guided by an optical sight and controlled by wires. The armor penetration of the Fagot anti-tank missile system is up to 600mm.
Is that DJI drones with Lenovo laptops ?
