We suggest you get acquainted with the review of events and materials of the week, the brief description of which we have collected for you in this article.
Gripen
It is known that Colombia’s Air Force should be plans to argue with 10 Swedish Jas 39 Gripen, which should be manufactured at production facilities in Brazil, and even it is known that a potentially dozen aircraft can cost Columbia of $ 2 billion.
At the same time, the United States, in turn, reacted quite aggressively to such news and threatened that if the agreement is indeed, they will block the supply of their components, especially the General Electric F414G engine.
DF-3 and DF-21 missiles
Saudi Arabia has arsenal of medium-range ballistic missiles DF-3 and DF-21, acquired directly in China in quite mysterious circumstances. However, the number of BSDs of both types at the disposal of Riyadh is not disclosed, the first (and so far known) demonstration of Saudi DF-3 took place in 2014; However, it is known that there are missiles under “conventional” b.
At the same time, Saudi Arabia conducts such large -scale infrastructure work under its strategic missile forces, in particular, it builds secret underground bases that this activity is literally visible from space and attracts the attention of Western analysts.
Air-Air missiles
Back in 2016, China adopted the PL-15 air-to-15 air-air rocket, which is starting to 300 kilometers, and in October 2022-even more powerful rocket of the same PL-17 class, which has a range of starting as much as 300-500 kilometers and integrated with J-16).
Against this background, the United States has a clear lag from China in the aviation missile segment, which is trying to make up with the AIM-260a Jatm missile project for up to 200 kilometers, which take more than five years. However, there is no significant progress in this project.
Shushpanzer with AK-630
In the area of occupied Sevastopol, another result of a combination of marine weapons with land was observed, this time in an attempt to find additional means of air defense. This time, the AK-630 anti-aircraft installation was installed on KAMAZ.
At the same time, this is far on the first example of such hybridization, because before that the enemy was already put, however, on the MT-LB anti-aircraft from torpedo boats in 1939 and the ship’s anti-aircraft zeno-39, but it was in 2023. As well as examples with the installation of Ship RSSV A-22 and Bombmeters of RBU-6000.
TKB-521
The lack of machine guns has been known in the Russian Federation for quite a long time, because, despite the “legendary Kalashnikov”, Russian military has quite strange samples. In particular, in November last year, the enemy was recorded by the North Korean machine guns of Type 73, and now-the Soviet TKB-521s in the late 1950s.
By this time, it was possible to see TKB-521, first of all, in the exposition of the Tula Museum of weapons. But now he illuminated the enemy, who declares that he was strofey.
