Russia may unveil new super main battle tank T-95 in summer 2010

Russia's new main battle tank (MBT), the T-95, could be exhibited for the first time at an arms show in the Urals Region this summer, the developer and future manufacturer of the tank has said. The development of the new tank dubbed "Item 195" began at the Uralvagonzavod design bureau in the early 1990s. Russia will become the first country in the world to have the 5th-generartion MBT if the military commissions the vehicle. "The work on the project has been conducted for many years. If the government gives us a 'green light' we will exhibit the tank at the [Russian Expo Arms 2010] arms show in Nizhny Tagil this summer," general director of the Uralvagonzavod plant Oleg Siyenko told RIA Novosti in an exclusive interview. "I cannot disclose the characteristics of the tank, but I can assure you that we have met all the requirements put forward by the military," he said. According to unofficial sources, the T-95 will feature better firepower, maneuverability, electronics and armor protection than Russia's latest T-90 MBT or comparable foreign models. It will weigh about 55 tons and its speed will increase from 30-50 kph to 50-65 kph (19-31 mph to 31-40 mph). The new tank may be equipped with a 152-mm smoothbore gun capable of firing guided missiles with a range of 6,000-7,000 meters. In contrast to existing designs, the gun will be located in a remotely-controlled turret to improve 3-men crew survivability. Meanwhile, the T-90 MBT, developed in the 1990s on the basis of the T-72B tank, will be the backbone of the armored units until 2025, according to the Russian military. Russia currently produces up to 100 T-90 MBTs annually and plans to have at least 1,500 vehicles in service with the Ground Forces.

BAE Systems has been awarded a £135 million ($200m) contract to commence series production of 48 Archer 155mm self-propelled artillery gun systems.

BAE Systems has been awarded a £135 million ($200m) contract to commence series production of 48 Archer 155mm self-propelled artillery gun systems and their associated ammunition handling systems for the Swedish and Norwegian armed forces. The first operational systems are expected to be delivered in October 2011 and production will continue over the following two years. This production contract follows a £100m ($146m) development programme which began in 2003. Mike Smith, managing director of BAE Systems, Global Combat Systems Weapons said: “Archer is an important programme for the armed forces of both countries and for BAE Systems’ land business, as it is in a core area for us and will provide a springboard for future exports. We appreciate the effort and cooperation that the FMV and FLO – the national procurement agencies - have invested in ensuring the procurement of the most advanced and capable artillery system for the Swedish and Norwegian armies.”

Russia delivers first 3 attack helicopter gunships Mi-35M Hind E to Brazil.

Russia has delivered the first batch of Mi-35M Hind E attack helicopters to Brazil, a Russian state arms exporter said on Thursday. Rosoboronexport spokesman Sergei Svechnikov said a total of 12 helicopters are to be delivered under a 2008 contract, worth $150 million. The Mi-35M is an export version of the Mi-24 Hind that was used extensively in Afghanistan. The Mi-24/35 is unique among dedicated attack helicopters insofar as it can carry a load of troops, in addition to performing its offensive role. The Sao Paulo-based newspaper Valor Economico previously reported that the Mi-35s would be used in the Amazon region, in conjunction with Brazil's Embraer land and ground surveillance jets. The Amazon region borders both Venezuela and Colombia, and is a prime location for trans-national narco-terrorists and drug traffickers.

DGA Delivers 3 New-Generation UAVs SDTI to the French Army.

The Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) has just delivered the last of three new-generation SDTI (interim tactical UAV system) aerial vehicles, ordered in August 2009 from Sagem (SAFRAN Group) under the economic recovery plan. This acquisition, worth 5 million euros, also includes an initial support package (spares and technical documentation). An unmanned aircraft weighing 350 kg, the SDTI does not need a runway to take off and land: it is launched from a trailer-mounted catapult, and is retrieved after a parachute descent, once the mission has been completed. The SDTI can operate for several hours at a distance of about a hundred miles from its deployment site while sending, in real time, images and information collected by its optical (day) and infrared (night) cameras to its ground control station or to terminals operated by the ground troops, The three new aircraft that have been supplied are fitted with lightweight wings to increase their range and loiter times, especially in “hot and high” conditions. Operated by the 61st Field Artillery Regiment, based at Chaumont since 2004, the SDTI is used for missions of intelligence gathering, target acquisition and force protection. Used in Kosovo from December 2007 to August 2008, the SDTI has been deployed in the Afghan theater since October 2008. It has flown over 260 missions from the forward operating base in Tora Surobi.

Vietnam hails military cooperation with Russia.

The Vietnamese defense minister said on Tuesday that the current visit of his Russian counterpart to Vietnam would strengthen bilateral military ties, which have seen a significant improvement in the last few years. Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov arrived on Monday in Hanoi to meet with the Vietnamese leadership and discuss the prospects of military cooperation between the two countries. "I am certain that these meetings will give a new boost to our bilateral ties in the defense sphere," Gen. Phung Quang Thanh said during talks with Serdyukov. In response, the Russian minister said that Russia considered Vietnam its strategic partner and welcomed the steady development of friendly relations with the south-east Asian state. Russia and Vietnam have cooperated in the military sphere since 1953. In 1998, Moscow and Hanoi signed an intergovernmental agreement on military cooperation, and a relevant Russian-Vietnamese intergovernmental commission was established in 1999. In October 2008, during the Vietnamese president's visit to Moscow, Russia and Vietnam set up a strategy of military and technical cooperation until 2020 by signing an inter-governmental memorandum. Vietnam is gradually turning into the major buyer of Russian armaments after India, with several contracts worth billions of U.S. dollars signed recently. The country became Russia's biggest arms client in 2009, having ordered six Kilo-class Project 636 diesel-electric submarines worth $4 billion and eight Su-30MK2 Flanker-C multirole fighters worth $400 million. The contracts signed since the start of 2010 are estimated at $1 billion, including the order of 12 additional 12 Su-30MK2 fighters.

The British Ministry of Defence has selected General Dynamics UK as the preferred bidder for the demonstration phase of the new SV programme.

A contract which will lead to the delivery of a new fleet of medium weight armoured fighting vehicles has been announced by Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth today, Monday 22 March 2010. The first tranche of the Specialist Vehicle (SV) programme should deliver around 600 vehicles to the front line, with the possibility of further purchases in the future. The Ministry of Defence has selected General Dynamics UK as the preferred bidder for the demonstration phase of the new SV programme. This will include development of Scout, the principal reconnaissance vehicle that will replace the Scimitar vehicle currently deployed in Afghanistan. The Specialist Vehicle fleet will provide improved protection against a wide range of threats and bring significant benefits to the Army, including greater firepower, longer range sensors and sighting systems and a higher level of reliability. Under the proposed solution, around 70 per cent of the work on the vehicles would take place in the UK, which would ensure the creation or sustainment of over 10,000 British jobs within the armoured vehicle sector. The announcement of the first of the Specialist Vehicles comes after the commitment to order an initial batch of 200 new Light Protected Patrol Vehicles (LPPVs) for Afghanistan. The LPPVs being assessed by the MOD are at the cutting-edge of technology, providing the right balance between protection, weight and manoeuvrability required by our Armed Forces on operations in Afghanistan.

The BAE Systems FRES Scout contender and common base platform has completed mobility performance trials which verify it meets demanding UK Ministry of Defence growth targets for its top-priority FRES SV programme. BAE Systems engineers completed initial proving tests at the vehicle's planned 40.4 Tonnes gross vehicle weight. It was put through a series of trials which proved that its drive train, brakes and suspension components operate as predicted, verifying the inherent growth potential of the CV90 platform. The demonstrator will go on to complete endurance trials during March of this year as required by the UK MoD FRES risk mitigation contract. The trials have shown that the BAE Systems FRES Scout contender can successfully operate with well over 15 tonnes of add-on protection. "These trials, in common with every other aspect of our bid, were designed to provide hard evidence to show that we can meet MoD requirements within the timescale our soldiers deserve," said Chief Engineer Malcolm Robinson. "All along we have taken a rigorous test-based approach with sound engineering to back up our claims, including investing five years and £50m in world-beating turret technology for FRES Scout and the related Warrior upgrade programme to deliver the best solutions for the British Army."

Iran Stresses Continued Progress in Defense Fields.

Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi reiterated on Wednesday that the country is determined to continue its eye-catching progress in different fields of defense in the coming Iranian year (beginning on March 21). Tehran launched an arms development program during the 1980-88 Iraqi imposed war on Iran to compensate for a US weapons embargo. Since 1992, Iran has produced its own tanks, armored personnel carriers, missiles and fighter planes. Yet, Iranian officials have always stressed that the country's military and arms programs serve defensive purposes and should not be perceived as a threat to any other country. Iran has attained rapid growth of technology in building missiles in recent years and has, thus, been conducting frequent exercises to test-fire its latest products in the field. In a recent case, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)'s Air Force staged two days of missile wargames in September during which different types of ground-to-ground, mid- and long-range missiles, including hi-tech long-range Sejjil missiles, optimized long range Shahab-3 missiles, were tested successfully. The liquid-fuel Shahab class missiles include a wide range of missiles, including the well-known Shahab-3 which has a range of up to 1,250 miles (2000 kilometers) and is capable of carrying a 760-1,000 kilogram warhead. The optimized Shahab-3 is more precise than the previous models and Iran has promoted its navigation systems. Iran also successfully tested the second generation of Sejjil missile and brought it into mass production in 2009. The solid-fuel, two-stage Sejjil missile with two engines, is capable of reaching a very high altitude and therefore has a longer range than that of the Shahab 3 model. Also, the Iranian defense ministry in February inaugurated production lines of a new anti-armor missile, 'Toufan 5' (Hurricane), and an anti-chopper missile, 'Qaem', both with high penetration and destruction powers.

Significant Chinese defence spending reduction provides smallest growth rate in decades.

While China’s Premier Wen Jiabao announced that the government is targeting an economic growth rate of 9 per cent in 2009, despite a still fragile recovery process in response to the global financial crisis, China recently issued its draft defence budget for 2010. As only little details of the budget are released to the public, the growth rate is considered the most important and meaningful number. With a planned 7.5 per cent rate 2010 will be the first year in almost two decades not to see a double-digit increase in the defence budget. According to the draft, the 2010 defence budget will amount to CNY532.1 billion ($77.9 billion, €57.28 billion), increasing by CNY37.12 billion compared to 2009, according to NPC spokesman Li Zhaoxing. Defence expenditures account for 6.3 percent of China's total budget, Li said at the annual parliamentary session. The draft, which has been submitted to the National People's Congress (NPC) on Thursday, states that these funds will be used mainly to modernise the People's Liberation Army (PLA). While Li claims an increase of transparency on the budget issue and assures that the new budget will help “face multi-faceted military threats and improve capabilities for diverse military tasks,” according to RIA Novosti, experts believe that the official data considerably understates real expenditure. “Chinese officials have often explained in the past that the high rates of defense budget growth were due to strong inflationary pressures. But the past year’s inflation rate has been near zero. If inflation picks up again this year, this would make a return to a double-digit defense budget increase much more likely next year,” Tai explains. According to official Chinese data, the PLA currently numbers 2.3 million active personnel deployed in seven military regions and more than 20 military districts, with over 800,000 reserves. This makes the PLA the world's largest standing military force. Nevertheless, China repeatedly emphasises the defensive nature of its Armed Forces and the adequate level of military spending in relation to its GDP (1.4 per cent according to official figures). On the occasion of the draft budget submission, Li Zhaoxing said that China spends less money for its armed forces than other countries, such as the US, and explains: “The only purpose of China's limited military strength is to safeguard China's sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Russia reaffirms commitment to destroy chemical weapons by 2012.

Russia will complete the construction of chemical weapon destruction plants in 2011 and will destroy all chemical weapons stockpiles by 2012, a government official said on Wednesday. Russia signed the Chemical Weapons Convention banning the development, production, stockpiling, transfer, and use of chemical arms in 1993, and ratified it in 1997. The country has destroyed 18,000 metric tons, or 45% of its chemical weapons stockpiles as of December 2009. Gen. Nikolai Abroskin, head of the Federal Agency for Special Construction, said during a collegiate meeting at the agency that despite the recent financial crunch Russia would meet its obligations and destroy the remaining 22,000 metric tons of chemical weapons by 2012. The country has allocated $7.18 billion from the federal budget for the implementation of the program, and has so far built five chemical weapon destruction plants - in Gorny (Saratov Region), Kambarka (Republic of Udmurtia), Nizhny Novgorod, the Maradykovo complex (Kirov Region), and Siberia's Kurgan Region. Another two are under construction. Abroskin said the completion of chemical weapon destruction facilities remained a priority in 2010. "We should be able to launch the first stage of the facility in Pochep [Bryansk Region], and second stages of the facilities in Leonidovka [Penza Region] and Shchuchiye [Kurgan Region]...which will allow us to finish the construction of all chemical weapon destruction plants in 2011 and destroy all chemical weapons by 2012 in line with the federal program," he said. By 2016-2017, Russia aims to finish all the remaining work under the project, including decontamination and equipment dismantlement, the official said.

First production hull for the new 'Terrier' engineer tracked armoured vehicle for the British Army.

Construction has begun on the first of a new fleet of 60 tracked, armoured, earthmoving vehicles, which will give the Royal Engineers a powerful and versatile route clearing capability. Manufacture of the first production hull for the new 'Terrier' vehicle began earlier this year at BAE Systems' Newcastle factory and will be used in mine blast trials to demonstrate improved protection levels introduced by modifications resulting from experience gained on other vehicles during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The powerful Terrier tracked vehicle will be able to negotiate most terrain, and its earthmoving bucket and side-mounted excavator arm will make short work of digging and obstacle clearance tasks. The bucket can be quickly replaced with a surface mine clearance device, which, combined with a route-marking system, can be used to clear routes of surface-laid munitions.
