What's new

Ukrainian Arms Industry

Lugansk catridge works, which formerly made ammo for UAF, now only makes ammo for NAF. 7N10 bullet

5.45×39 НАБІЙ 7Н10

Ukraine now has no more factory that makes ammo. Ukraine army has that many bullets left, no more.

beyond pathetic.

they can also join the loser club nato.

if you look at the other nato members, than ukraine will be a force multiplier.

hehehe

Recreate fighting vehicle BTR-70 gasoline to diesel volunteers decided Center "Carrier" at the farm "Titus" Bereznegovatskogo district of Mykolayiv region.Mykolayiv lean agricultural producers felt that replacing gasoline engines to diesel fuel significantly save the military needed to complete the task. But there was another reason for the "modernization", the military said armored vehicles when gasoline hit enemy bullets and splinters easily ignited. Accordingly, diesel armored vehicles much better Indemnified of this shortcoming.Made sure of the wisdom of proceeding artisans Nicholas peasants began to work and for a short time set in 70 BTR two diesel engine D-240.

Before installation, they were disguised and completely restored.Field running the upgraded technology, which held the military together with farmers in the field, demonstrated its full readiness to perform tasks.Recently, the military arrived on equipment and thanked the volunteers for their help and peasants, took rebuilt APC. Soon he will go to perform tasks in the area of ATU.

2015/05/26[/URL]

Since the beginning of Russian aggression Ukraine, consistently ranking in the top ten exporters of weapons in the world, driven by the necessity to completely re-equip its own army, is replacing the weapons inherited from Soviet times. GordonUA has chosen several new products of the Ukrainian defense industry which are already deployed to the front or which may be deployed in the future.


Small arms

Assault rifle “Fort-221″ (TAR-21)

Development of the Israeli
[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Tavor_TAR-21']TAR-21
is produced under license in Vinnytsia at RPC Fort. The rifle uses a “bullpup” configuration, in which the bolt carrier group is placed behind the pistol grip; this shortens the overall length but does not sacrifice barrel length. As a result, the TAR-21 provides carbine length, yet achieves rifle muzzle velocities. The housing is made of impact-resistant plastic reinforced metal which helped to significantly reduce the weight.

Formally, the production of the “Fort-221″ under Israeli license began in Ukraine in 2009, but until recently these assault rifles and a shortened variant, the “Fort-224″, were only purchase in small quantities for Special Forces of the SBU (Ukrainian Security Service). It is known that, after the beginning of the conflict in Donbas that the “Fort-221″ appeared among the weapons used by the “Tornado” battalion of the MVD (Ministry of Internal Affairs). The Defense Ministry reported on its intention to purchase about 500 of these weapons.


Effective range 550 m, 5.56 mm caliber, 750-900 rounds per minute, mass with magazine is 4.3 kg.

Sniper Rifle “VPR-308″
This modified version of the “Zbroyar” Z-008 Ukrainian sport/hunting rifle is made in Kyiv at the “Mayak” production factory. It can be operated with either single cartridge or with a 5-10 round magazine. Compared with the heavier, traditional Ukrainian rifle SVD which the army inherited from Soviet times, this weapon is only 4.5 kg versus 5-7 kg for the SVD, but has a greater sighting range of 900 m versus 800 m).


The first samples were presented in 2012 and the company commenced mass production in spring of 2014. The first lot entered service with the National Guard in July.

Effective range is 900 m, 7.62 mm x 51 mm caliber, 15 rounds/min, mass with magazine of 5-7 kg.


Rocket-propelled grenades and anti-tank weapons
Grenade launcher “UAG-40″[/paste:font]
Developed in Kyiv: the first prototypes were produced at the plant, “Lenіnska kuznya“, in 2010. The first Ukrainian portable automatic belt-fed grenade launcher. Fully compliant with NATO standards but, in contrast to Western models, is much easier to use. It is supplied with a tripod mounting structure which allows for rapid weapon deployment. High level of portability and easy preparation of operating site allows for quick change of firing position both in the open air and in an urban environment.

The Ministry of Defense was interested in domestic development and conducted tests of the grenade launcher, however there is no current information on deliveries of this model to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Technical characteristics:

  • Max length: 960mm
  • Weight: 17 kg
  • Shooting cycle: 400 shot/min

Stugna-P
The Stugna-P is an anti-tank missile system designed and manufactured in Ukraine. Stugna-P has been developed by Kyiv-based, Luch, design bureau to compete with foreign models of the same class. Round comprising “STUGNA” antitank guided missile is intended for firing from the tank T-55 or antitank artillery gun MT-12 against stationary and moving modern armored objects with combined, incomplete or monolithic armor including ERA (explosive reactive armor), and also against pinpoint targets like weapon emplacements, tank in a trench, lightly armored objects. The Stugna-P is also capable of destroying low-altitude, slow-moving aerial targets. The laser-guided system has a range of 5 km and can penetrate armor up to 800 millimeters thickness. The operating temperature range is from – 40° to +60°C.

The Ukrainian National Guard announced their intention to purchase 90 “Bars”. In addition, this vehicle will participate in the Ministry of Defense tender for the purchase of light-armored vehicles.

Highway speed of 100 km/hr and a range of 600 km.

“KrAZ Kuguar”
This vehicle was developed by the Canadian company, Streit Group, at their manufacturing facility in Ontario, Canada. It is based on a Toyota Landcruiser chassis and is currently being manufactured in Ukraine at the Kremenchuk Automobile Plant (KrAZ) in Kremenchuk, Ukraine. The Cougar is a multi-functional Light Armored Vehicle with cross-dimensional characteristics which allow it to be used in a wide variety of applications including military, police and tactical. It has been designed to withstand ballistic assaults as well as to protect the occupants against mines and grenade blasts because of the reinforced under-carriage. In early August 2014, Ukraine’s Ministry of the Interior ordered 21 of these vehicles for the National Guard.

It was reported to being hit by several rpg rounds and multiple small-arms fire with no consequences. Slat armor can be fitted for maximum protection against RPG attacks.

Several dozen BTR-4 are already in service with the National Guard. These vehicles have also been sold to Iraq, Kazakhstan and Nigeria. On 4 June 2014, company officials revealed that the BTR-4E was being used in military operations in the Slavyansk area. Its armor had withstood hits from large-caliber machine guns, counter-HEAT side screens protected the crew from anti-tank grenade launchers, and armored glass sustained direct hits from sniper rifles.
 
Ukrainian MIC was closely connected with the Russian one.Most of its production was for Russia,lots of orders have come from Russia plus joint ventures,contracts for maintenance .Now connections are being cut out which will lead to inevitable result-dead of Ukrainian MIC.Which is good for Russia- all those specialists with decades long experience once out from work will go,accept citizenship and will start working in Russia.
 
Putin s statements about the collapse of Ukrainian military industrial complex surprise by their inadequacy - Turchynov| Ukrinform
KYIV, May 26 /Ukrinform/. Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov said that Ukraine will never supply the components for weapons to an aggressor country.

The press service of the National Security Council reported the news.

"Ukraine will never supply arms to the aggressor who is going to kill our citizens,” Turchynov stated.

He noted that Russian military and political leadership along with its intelligence agencies systematically worked to destroy the military potential of our country. "Our military-industrial complex were forced to go bankrupt, they destroyed the Armed Forces, and the defense capabilities of the country. The aggression of the Russian Federation had to become the final chord in their plans to annihilate the independence of our country," said Turchynov.

Meh. It's not like Ukraine can build any ship.

The first Admiral Gorshkov frigate commissions in November. Looks like the engine issue is resolved.

Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The first frigate of this class was floated out of the launch dock on 29 October 2010. The ship was 40 percent complete and then began to be fitted out. Main mechanical equipment and systems providing safe launching were installed, including a combined diesel and gas turbine (CODAG) powerplant, gear assemblies, drive shafts and screws, and electric power supply facilities prior to the Crimea issue.

So, duh, with propulsion system delivered prior to 2014, naturally this ship is commissioning. It is units 3-4 the need worry about, obviously.

Don't Russia already make such turbines? Kilo subs Russia builds lots of.
 
Don't Russia already make such turbines? Kilo subs Russia builds lots of.
Only since 2007, in limited number, with issues.
In the foreseeable future it will be important to keep in mind one more entity in the market of naval gas turbines. Joint Russian-Ukrainian venture Turborus was founded by NPO Saturn, Zorya-Mashproject, NPO Avrora (St. Petersburg), JSC TST (Technical Systems and Technologies, St. Petersburg) and Moscow based Turbocon Ltd. The main shareholders are NPO-Saturn and Zorya-Mashproject, the shares of other are approximately equal. Turborus deals with the repair and service of all gas turbines operated by the Russian Navy. According to Yuri Kuvyrkin each fleet of the Russian Navy has a branch of Turborus. However, branch does not mean base or repair workshop. It means service. Turborus delivers spares, arrange shipments of the engines to / from manufacturer for repair. In the overwhelming majority of cases the engines are repaired in Nikolaev. -
...
according to the well informed sources of PravdaRu in the St. Petersburg based Engineering Academy it is too early to speak of the complete independence of the Ukraine. The engines are ready, but not the whole turbine system. This work is still to be done. For example, Russia does not have manufacturing and testing capacities for making reducers. There are technical questions with the automated control systems. The systems which allow shifting power from one to another board of a two turbines ship are only at the level of sketch designing. Recognizing the success of Saturn VMF and its technical superiority over another Russian designer of naval gas turbines, Moscow based Salyut, the source expressed careful optimism over the on-going works of Saturn. Complete independence of the Ukrainian Zorya-Mashproject is referred to differently in different situations. Most often it is mentioned as nearly an official goal. But such statements are usually made for the media or by the media. Most recent statements by the top managers of the industry voiced at the specialized conferences and meetings, attended by the correspondent of Prvada.Ru, make it possible to conclude that there are enough high ranking people in Russia who think that there is no need to waste money on hurrying. Instead of duplicating the production capacities left in the Ukraine it is suggested to create principally new manufacturing, engines and systems.
