First ‘Pelican' system passed field tests and was adopted by Southern Air Command of Ukrainian Armed Forces

The newest development of Ukrainian defense industry – triple-grid mobile omnidirectional radar station with phased array 79K6 "Pelican" – performed its first field tasks during military drills "Frontier-2016" near Kyiv. Defense Ministry informs it's a first such system just received from the manufacturer and taken into service by Radio Technical battalion of Southern Air Command of Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"Domestic machinery was tested in heaviest conditions. Initially, the radar crew made 120 kilometers march to the certain position. On the way they had to perform recovery of the machines in case of failure: trucks on the march, and electronics after use of weapons. Then they practiced deployment and folding the station at a certain time and tested its combat abilities," Defense Ministry reports.

Ukrainian air defense officers highly appreciated new device.

"Station is powerful and very easy to use. Our hope is quite justified," radar station commander Lieutenant Oleksiy Hurmach commented the field tests.

"During the exercise the crew of 79K6 "Pelican" radar showed quite good results. Radar itself demonstrated reliability and outstanding technical performance. Immediately after the exercise the station will be put on combat duty to protect the airspace over the south of Ukraine," Radio-Technical Brigade command reported.

The Southern OK covers 9 oblasts and autonomous republics: Odessa, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk oblasts and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

Ukroboronprom State Concern will continue buying steel for new Dozor-B armored vehicles on the European Union (EU) market.

The press service of the concern reported that the conditions of developing international industrial cooperation under the Dozor-B program was discussed during the negotiations with Poland's Huta Stali Jakościowych S.A., the European supplier of certified armored steel.

At present, ARMSTAL-500 steel made by Huta Stali Jakościowych S.A. in Stalowa Wola (Poland) is used for production of Dozor-B armored vehicles. Steel meets NATO STANAG standard, the press service said.

"This armored steel is used for armored vehicles in the inventory of NATO countries, including Poland's Rosomak armored vehicle," the concern said.

The Dozor-B four-wheeled armored vehicle designed by Morozov Design Bureau (Kharkiv) is adapted for installation of five western engines made by Germany's Deutz and Italy's Iveco. The vehicle meets STANAG threat level three.

Mass production of Dozor-B armored vehicles was started at Lviv Armor Vehicle Factory. The new vehicles supplies to the Ukrainian Armed Forces were started in 2016.

Poland has been manufacturing the European modification of Dozor-B – Oncilla armored vehicle – since 2013.

The cost of Dozor-B is less than half of the cost of Oncilla.

Kyiv Armored Vehicle Plant which is a part of state's largest weapon concern UkrOboronProm has presented a remote weapon station "Viy".

It can be mounted on armored infantry carriers, including "Dozor-B" military armored vehicle. Subsequently, the firing capabilities of such vehicles are greatly improved owing to the powerful and fast shooting armament.

"Viy" is designed to target an aim at a range up to 2 kilometers whether it is manpower, military vehicles, ground facilities, or air targets up to 1 kilometer in the sky.

The module's operation is remote with a possibility of thermal vision aiming.

The major advantage is a high speed of firing. 23-mm cannon enables 3,000 shells a minute, or 50 shots a second.

The new rifle is already being produced

The "Ukroboronprom", a Ukrainian state-held defence industry concern, revealed their new assault rifle "Maliuk" ("the kid").

Video presentation of a new Ukraine-made weapon is available on the venture's YouTube channel.

"The rifle is an in-depth modernization of the AK-74 with a bullpup model, which provides significantly shorter barrel length and makes it more compact, as well as shifting the centre of gravity to a more comfortable plain, which significantly improves the accuracy of fire," the video explains.

The "Maliuk" has undergone the state examinations at the Ukrainian Armed Forces firing ranges and are being produced, the "Ukroboronprom" also informs.

Self-driving KrAZ Spartan personnel carrier - up close in UT photoshoot


Ukraine Today with a closer look on what is called "the first national smart special vehicle is based on the KrAZ-Spartan military armoured vehicle". The project is a result of a strong partnership between the only Ukrainian manufacturer of trucks "AutoKrAZ" and "Infocom Ltd", a company headquartered in Zaporizhia.

The Ukrainian Pilotdrive system mounted on the KrAZ-Spartan is provided with a series of special sensors used for detecting the surrounding environment, producer informs. The system uses an infrared camera with automated targeting and acquisition system, video camera with 360-degree field of view, front and rear radars for obstacle detection, distance measuring device, intelligent presence sensor with detection range of 18 m. Pilotdrive system helps the KrAZ-Spartan vehicle measure width of road and detect obstacles around. Analysis and decision system responds in the split second and the vehicle can immediately avoid obstacles.

The self-driving KrAZ-Spartan vehicle is controlled using a tablet, "smart glove" or operator station. Real-time data is provided to vehicle through WiFi/Wimax with range from 10 km to 50 km. In addition, the self-driving vehicle is provided with SmartDrive software and hardware system and Teach-inDrive system, which remembers desired track. Coordinates for basing are transmitted from GPS satellites.

"The main objective of creating the self-driving KrAZ vehicle is to help military in a combat zone with minimizing risks and saving lives of personnel carrying out various tactical tasks. Self-driving KrAZ vehicles will carry ammunitions, food supply, fuel and medicines into the combat zone and will deliver wounded personnel to hospitals. As a rule, these trips are dangerous because of high risk to be shot down, but shooting down a small and mobile self-driving KrAZ-Spartan vehicle wouldn't be a simple task. However, even if it is the case, people will not be hurt," producers say.

"Trembita - Biss is a complex for acoustic instrumental measures, which allows to estimate the ambiance at the place of a combat. The ejection of patron can be heard from 800 metres and it allows accurately establish coordinates. The audibility is 10 times better than of the human ear. The innovation is already used in ATO zone in Eastern Ukraine and the university gets letters with the requests to send more of the innovative equipment.

The National Aviation University had also presented unmanned aviation systems. The creators say that there are six types of planes which are ready for mass production.

a hybrid of a towing device for diving and a radio control boat. The device is totally unmanned, thus it is able to do tasks on water without a presence of a man. The young inventor said that he has already found a sponsor for the project.

New drone is developed by Matrix-UAV bureau
Heavy-duty copter has unique characteristics and can be used by army as well as by civilians

New big drone, built by volunteer development laboratory Matrix-UAV, can operate for several hours and cover a distance of hundreds of kilometers. Also, it can carry several dozens of kilograms of freight. The bureau conducted field tests that proved the characteristics of the drone.

The copter can be used in the army to carry guided and unguided missiles, remote-controlled machine-gun posts, radio detectors, mapping radar systems. It can also be used to demine territories, deliver munition, signal retranslation. Matrix-UAV works to adopt the drone for wounded soldiers evacuation and redeployment of special ops units.

The drone can be useful in civilian life as well. The range of its capacities is rather broad: agriculture, extinguishing high-rise fires, patrolling, delivery of medicaments to hard-to-reach places etc.

This project, unlike other drone developments, is sponsored by a philanthropist. Usually, they are made thanks to donations of thousands of Ukrainians.

Although Ukraine has talents, good factories from USSR, they just can't create a proper economic environment.

The government seems controlled by capitalists under western forces.

They really need a decent politician to unify the country and lead people on the development road.
