[Parul]

In 2016 the Russian Armed Forces are about to receive a new and deadly addition to their arsenal – Buk-M3 surface-to-air missile system (NATO reporting name: SA-17 Grizzly).

The new type of missile used by the launcher is more compact than the ordnance used by its predecessors, allowing Buk-M3 to carry a payload of six instead of four missiles. At the same time, the new missile outclasses previous models in terms of its technical characteristics: it can destroy any type of airborne target in existence, can be used against naval and ground targets, and is extremely resistant to electronic countermeasures.


The Buk-M3 carries its payload in launch containers instead of positioning missiles on external rails. This new feature significantly reduces the time between shots as the launcher no longer has to rotate and elevate the missiles in the direction of a new target: the rockets are launched vertically and adjust their trajectory midair.

The new radar employed by the Buk-M3 allows it to detect airborne flying at extremely low altitudes (5 meters and higher), and increases the maximum destruction range of the weapon to 70 kilometers. The tele-thermal imaging target designator used by the launcher allows it to detect and track targets regardless of the time of day and weather conditions.


According to Zvezda TV channel, a division of Buk-M3 can simultaneously track and engage up to 36 targets, with the probability of hitting a target with one missile reaching a 0.9999 percent certainty. The weapon system can also intercept and destroy airborne targets flying at a speed of 3 kilometers per second (for example, the speed of a missile fired by a US-made MGM-140 ATACMS surface-to-air missile launcher doesn’t exceed 1.5 kilometers per hour).

The first Buk-M3 divisions are expected to enter service this year as part of the ongoing general rearmament program, and will provide a considerable boost to Russia’s already formidable anti-air capabilities.

As far as the Internet. Kurgan is now at a crossroads. The government wants to return the plant to the state. Because private upavrlenie has not justified itself. Perhaps the plant will transfer to the ownership of the Group "GAS". More precisely owner "GAZ" Group - Industrial group "Basic Element". The plant has orders for 5 years, so the real reasons for bankruptcy are not present. This is similar to corporate rivalry. Prior to this, the plant turned off the gas, because of failure to pay, even though the money he had enough.

Subsidiary company "Basic Element" Military Industrial Company, a manufacturer APC Boomerang, need power for production. Kurganmashzavod just has such capacity.

So this is sort of artificial? Not reflecting a real problem.
Could this spin out of control if there is undecidedness either by state or GAZ group?

Yes, the current private management tries to blackmail to force the state to pick up the enterprise itself. Otherwise, it will pass into the possession of "Basic Element".
This is what the corporate intrigue.
You can see the program "Military Acceptance". There Kurganmashzavod. You can be sure that the plant works and a lot of production orders.

the heavy transport air craft is that the lL-106? i heard you guys are developing that to replace the an124.

The aircraft doesn't have a name yet. The program called PAK-TA - (TA - means transport aviation or cargo aviation).
The program including several types of aircrafts with different payload.

if im right "tohh" stands for tonne so how can a twin engined transporter carry 80 tonnes? also will the 160 and the 240 tonners be based of the 124/224 or will it be a blank sheet design?

The same way how the twin engine A350 flying
Thanks to composite materials, the new planes have less weight and can carry more useful payload.

ofc, it's a new design.
