As for the same Kuwait and its desire to buy a T-90 - so it is not surprising. They're seeing that in difficult times that amers that Europeans they can throw anyone. They know very well that in 1991, when, during Desert Storm, coalition troops march went to bypass Iraqi positions in the desert, then without loss and damage could reach and immediately engage in battle only tanks M84 - read the T-72. They remember as a desert rose Abrams swallowing dust and deprived of fuel. Of course, even the T-90S for them, pampered comfort and having a lot of money, does not look very prestigious, but as soon as our little poupiratsya and ennoble the machine as in the embodiment of MS, it has become more than attractive. But then again, we also are weak in marketing.

Rosoboronexport - is essentially a mediator and he do not care.Marketing Service Corporation - is the creative people - the usual PR and creative people - about the tanks they do not know anything more than that, they are to this knowledge does not permit system. Ie in fact, engaged in trade by manufacturers and developers - whose task Shit and nuts twist. But they consider themselves to be about ... very clever. Believe that better knowledge of what the customer needs. At the same time, they clearly divide the consumer on the internal and external. Working Inside, they simply turned off their brains and do not think about anything other than "less work - getting bigger." Motto: "For what the customer pays, we are doing." In this case, there is one significant nuance - because the customer has nowhere to go - no stupid competition, something that would not perenapregatsya and insure themselves against potential risks, even at the stage of approval of TK in its customer Wishlist fantasies and tough breaks off: "I'm sorry, but it is it is simply not feasible, and this, this and that can be done, but but .... conditions (time and money - as a rule). There may even say: if you want so - then give us something and then something - such as the engine is not in the country and is not expected ... But when it comes to exporting - then vice versa for our "tadpoles" begins a full flight of fancy. I have not had time to read and listen to their stupidity. Somehow they in this begin to consider the case that the consumer must not take what he wants, and what they're navydumyvali. invent some crap and start to carry it on exhibitions, advertisements touting, saying that it's cool, navyalivat customers, etc. and so on. n. But sometimes they can not explain the basic things: what and why do so and not otherwise. And when a potential importer says, guys, no, I do not need, I need something, something, something and then some, we are beginning to strongly offended sulk and convince potential buyers that it is very wrong, and his requirements and Wishlist is fundamentally not true. After all, we're all such vumnye! We have advanced degrees and all sorts of awards .... As a result, the buyer simply leaves. Well, if he go nowhere special, then begins the process of mutual withdrawal. This is called "coordination of contract." In contrast, a similar process for the internal customer here, yet our suppliers become more attentive to the requests and requirements of the client. This causes them to let reluctantly, with a scratch, but to rotate, move - as a result are some slight shift for the better. Still, this process takes place as of a stick or whip - a very, very reluctantly, often formally just to anyhow but the requirements to fulfill. In many examples of the BBT - is the first Indian contract, when they tried to do in the beginning vtyuhat T-72C, and then almost a "serial" T-90, but under pressure from the customer (and financial circumstances) still did a good car.

Actually T-90A for our own army and did not appear to ever if Hindus do not actually been made a new tank. This is looking at it, our army has requested to do the same for themselves. The same situation was in aviation Su-30MKI which became a Russian Su-30cm. Very revealing story of the BMPT - the customer did not know what he wanted, but gave money. Developer in these conditions began to "create" and "make up" for the full course in their own interests. TTZ agreed on terms favorable to the manufacturer. As a result, to get something. TK was formally completed, but the army, where the authorities does not change very quickly, and therefore views are not understood, and fuya actually it ordered? As a result of the rejection of purchasing and trying to sell it on the international market by giving something of genius for the most "unparalleled". Now let's think about why it is not unique? Could anyone create something similar had not occurred? Not at all, "paper" and not very "paper" study were in several countries. But there is a sober reasoning and all weigh on their implementation refused - because it is in practice nafig not necessary. More precisely is necessary, but it is implemented within the framework of classical types: infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers. We also received some incomprehensible on purpose, heavy and expensive car. Vtyuhali its Kazakhs - they looked at how it can be used immediately and made demands for revision. Especially in terms of reduction in price. Turned BMPT-72. I think more dozhmut UKBTM and replace combat module (increasing caliber).Now T-90MS ... For whom he did? Initially, for that would take away the bread out of the competition - Omsk. Done proactively to shove in his native army. Crush competitors out. But that's a bummer - Army launched "Fig-vamy draw" - "antics furniture maker", and then a brand new tank has requested (another story). In this case, the initial desire to enjoy the Red Army, was reflected in the appearance - well, very bright. This ugly box of shells from anyone not hide! It was made only for that would satisfy the requirements of the Red Army by the presence of "at least 40 shots" in BC.

After all, in the condition to ensure survival, was thrown out the front tank rack. And here there is another natyazhechka - if before cruising range was 550 km, it is now (without DHW rack) it fell by 200 km. How would this not good. But UKBTM brought pestni that "in the present circumstances such a large power reserve, as it were, and nafig not needed." Interestingly, when the same case, they criticize the "Abrams" for its operating range to 300km! Once one another does not fit ... then just pulled the rejection of half-inch gun. For me personally, it was a shock. I knew that this failure have occurred consciously - "they felt so right" and that the 12.7mm machine gun is not needed for a small ammunition.

Then I started to write everywhere (knowing that I read) that still at this facility can be set and 7.62 and 12.7 30mm machine guns and even hypertension. Openly lied! For what? In order to be in the eyes of the expert community to somehow rehabilitate KB for the crap that they have done, well, encourage and prepare itself for possible KB subsequent customer requirements to increase the caliber of weapons - what actually happened now. But back to the box ... As soon as the car in the Red Army did not matter, then why the heck this box to her left? Anyone can give this answer? Personally, I - no. All clear and understandable that no one in your hand will not be overloaded during the fight out of him over the top of the shells. Carry this same explosive cargo only that would popolnik "internal" BC lull too, no one will - why take the risk? Especially because of the insides of the tank, the same tank rack nobody removed! Just because no one could think that his place on the volumes released zapendyurit! In addition to all of the same fuel and ammunition - to mind nothing comes ... You can still power unit put there, but he has already found a place on the shelf and remodel lazily, and noisy in the BO with him will, however not isolated.

Put the same tower for horizontal AZ, for some reason CB hand does not rise - they criticized him because Omsk. They criticized such gusto and justify their criticism of the figures is the location of the AZ in Omsk, which seems holy believe they are right. That's just me I do not understand what is the difference for the survivability of the machine: the shells are in a box or in a mechanized installation? In the latest press release states that customers have insisted on strengthening the protection of the MTO. It'S Great! I do not know yet what it actually resulted in some activities, but the question is - why do something about it did not think before? Again, take the performance of the side protection shell, more precisely screens.Installed in the rear part of the lattice significantly increase the width of the envelope - simply stick - look - at fotah well seen! Now it seems that they are even further behind the body (although maybe just for a new eye rezanulo). This setup leads to the fact that they are constantly in a combat situation will be ripped off, clinging sticking angle of obstacles. Not to mention that it is very traumatic for the Army people ... Why not "equalize" screens DZ flush with the bars?

I understand we have, in Russian conditions on the width of the machine is strongly influenced rail gauge (although all the side skirts so we made removable), but because of potential customers in the desert railroad, no! Do not you just want to continue to spread the screen so hung over it is another layer DZ, like the one that hangs on your side of the turret or like the one that you did on the show "with a set of modernized tanks for fighting in the city."Slight increase in weight, beyond the 50 ton machine still will not work, but again, this is not terrible - enough power density, and bridges that such a tank can not stand in that area is not there. But get sickly profit - the ability to keep tandems, which does not provide protection exists. In general, do not be surprised if, again under pressure from customers such an idea will be implemented. But ... as usual in advance not to think about and work out of sticks ... Or here now PR "new" condo. Ahha! Good deal.

But then explain than "guilty" Algerians and Azerbaijanis who have bought a lot of T-90S with the "old" and apparently "not effective" kondeem? After all, if he's so good, why change it? I know that in fact "Gagarin" condo FIG full, know how and what he appeared on the tank, but somehow it still works. Brought a new unit - good! Well tell even then that "modernize T-90 increased internal volume (which is very true) and for their efficient air conditioning has become need a new machine" - and all! All questions will be removed by themselves. And even if the offer has already bought the tank with the "old" kondeem change to a new condo in the framework of service activities for technical support, with a small additional charge - so even if they do not bathe, so just happy to be on such care. And now they have a feeling that as divorced from suckers. In general, a sort of situation we have ... I do not know how and do not want normal trade in arms!

Idex 2015: Dh18bn UAE Armed Forces deals for final flourish

The five-day International Defence Exhibition (Idex) in the capital concluded on Thursday, with the UAE Armed Forces announcing 33 deals worth Dh18.3 billion, surpassing the Dh14.1bn of deals in 2013.

The biggest deal on the last day went to Boeing, which won a Dh2.27bn contract for two C-17 aircraft that will boost the UAE Armed Forces’ existing fleet. The UAE Armed Forces entered a deal with Abu Dhabi’s International Golden Group (IGG) to buy various ammunition and defence solutions valued at Dh67 million.

UAE’s Etihad Ship Building also won a Dh19m contract to “raise the capabilities and standards of naval vessels”.

The biggest contract announced at the show went to Airbus Defence and Thales Alenia Space, who were jointly awarded a Dh3.74bn deal to provide two satellites and ground control stations to the UAE Armed Forces.

This year’s edition was marked by a large portion of deals going to UAE-based defence companies as part of plans of the government to create a local industry, diversify income away from oil and create jobs.

The newly-formed Emirates Defence Industries Company, Tawazun and Abu Dhabi Ship Building were among the local winners.

In a sign of the growing importance of the defence industry in the region, this year’s Idex saw more than 100,000 visitors – up from 80,000 in 2013. The number of exhibitors rose to 1,200 international and local companies from as many as 56 countries.

The number of UAE exhibitors stood at 170.

The next Idex will take place in February 2017.

Notes from an exhibition

Because unlike some never no one is hiding, I write a lot of letters. All sorts of people. From schoolchildren to quite serious uncles. If possible, try to answer everything and sometimes tied very interesting correspondence. It happened at this time. I was approached by a man who had just returned from Abu Dhabi Exhibition IDEX -2015. Completely disinterested offered to share with me fotami there. And at the same time commented on them. Keep these ideas under wraps is considered a crime. It appears that boiling is not only me, but also many others - those who are not indifferent to the fate of our "defense", the fate of Russia as a state, finally.

The author is a designer and is currently working in the industry for quite a serious post, called his name I will not do as well as "censorship" bills - as they say, to do no harm.
All photos are clickable.


1. Exhibition for 2 years increased the territory somewhere in the half.



2. I am many - the organization of strikes! Starting from the reception during the docking taxi to send visitors to the end of the day - landing with 4 rows!Everything is regulated and controlled! About security, I'm not talking .... That's where our study and learn!



3. Organization of the work of our stands, in my opinion, disgusting! On this occasion, many wrote, can be repeated:
- all crammed together - the exhibits do not go.
- work on the stands can not - read magazines and you can sleep at home (photos were already in the network - I have not sent them). Language almost no one knows, one translator for the entire booth! Given the fact that our stand was represented by several companies, the questions could be different and stand in the queue many (especially Arabs) do not want.



- Show a huge and interesting - go and see what others ideas fly in the air - all the most modern ... no! sleep!
- the only full-scale exhibit - T-90MS, placed so that it is not immediately will find! Many familiar to foreigners had to explain or cause to stand.Approach to the tank can be only one side - everything is blocked (pictured clearly visible). For comparison, the left stood Leopard - an approach from all sides! Leclerc at all on the street! We narrow passage - many bypass all around.



- Attitude to his compatriots, as always "on high"!Walk past - the crowd! I want to get closer (narrow passage !!!), exchanged a few words with someone - "comrades" to hear the native language and grabbed his sleeve! Get out! Do not interrupt!There Manturov! Who is Manturov? So I took off the crown prince at the presentation of the BMP - no one is pushing ... I could say hello to him by the hand!

-

The organization of our stands disgusting! Everyone who offers Strelkovka organize freely available - you can take aim, remove the magazine, poschёlkat ... Especially the Arabs! While hands do not touch do not understand! More ... everyone who offers ATGM or RPG (even Belarusians) put on stands electronic simulators. The point is simple - the Arabs, like children!



Picked up a Panzerfaust or Javelin, took aim and hit (made so that all fall) - means a good grenade (or ATRA). Sat in the cockpit and knocked aircraft SAM - SAM good - it is necessary to plan the purchase (if I could - the soldiers and even more so).



4. Trend of the season in the exhibition - combat lasers. Presented live at Reynmeralla and Oerlikon. The French - layout. I chatted with his friends, because the theme beloved. Comrades questions answered evasively. On the question about the purpose, the answer should be - all cut by 2 km !!! What kind of food - batteries !!! Fighting vehicle or demonstrator - Battle! (If any damn batteries? 1-2 shot?). How to direct? - Apparently - shoot! How to protect themselves from otrazhёnki? - No problem!
 
About the size of the spot in the plane of the goal, and about overcoming the atmosphere in ground track, I did not ask ... Later fits another of their friend, who already knows who I am, the question went in a different direction! Lies stopped ....


5. shoot Leclerc. Especially look mount grilles! Are attached to the body parts and additional braces. We have a tower (T-90MS) are attached to an aluminum basket - with the impact of ammunition instead of what would have cut it, the grid just sognёtsya and deformed with a basket .... Or what in this -That sacred meaning? You can it somehow explained?


Box autoloader Leclerc clear from what made - Feeling that GRP (!).
Key locks on boxes under the tower .... And if sand or water lapped?
Good idea - "Velcro" around the perimeter of the body, on the details of the tower and even the commander panorama - fastening a camouflage net. All optics bronekryshkami closed. Grenade casings are closed. There are even earlier."Telephone box" - I opened it and took what was there.
Powerful protection board! This is in contrast to the "sparse" ours looks more reliable.



6. filmed LEO. New monitoring devices commander. Look forward prism! (Side standard).Protection side of the tower! She mounted.Grenade in between. The new unit with a machine gun. Guidance autonomous system with its sights, including the rangefinder. All systems around the clock. Additionally, there are cameras - a 360 degrees.



7. Arabic voenprom matter of respect - for 2 years such achievements!
8. Poroshenko was! 3 times passed by the booth. I have no words! Where are our guys? That intelligence is not reported ?! Not counted ?!Losers! In all newspapers !!! It is clear that in 2 hours 90 contacts do not sign for millions! He has no money, no money and no one will put ... This cover operation! But, as carried out!



9. Ukrainian stand almost at the end, in the cavern, and worse than our neighbors ... - Africans are better represented! But there is nothing to be! They had a one idiot with a forelock, who boasted that the "Lighthouse" pulled the plug Muscovites in the supply heads to the 73rd rocket, so my question is what they will do with it further, given the fact that the market is full of unique and the Chinese have already copied it and produce themselves, the answer was - "Glory to Ukraine!"



According to T-90 I have not a lot of photos. First of them and so many in the vast ... and secondly - very unfortunate location of the stand and staff, who would not let go from the sides (there everywhere ribbons) are not normally allowed to shoot something!



Module Petrel I shot, but it seemed to me, is an exhibition layout.Sighting systems "not real", and look at the muzzle brake systems ... no ammunition feed. Interested in the approach. The Arabs introduced BMP, which can put a variety of combat units.She is now head of the BMP-3. By the way they like it (I was talking with the military). This pattern goes and shoots! The middle part of the base between the 2 nd and 3-axis apart, it is, in my opinion they did specifically that it was possible to "push" a variety of weapons systems. But! On the cross is not very good!Although their roads are not in our example! A fight somewhere in other parts of the globe, they do not plan to. In general, it is very expensive ...
 
More thoughts on 90MS:

1. Side skirts. Of course, it is good that they are, but they are more serious LEO, while Leclerc generally no comparison! Projecting beyond the outer grille is not clear - will carry on the first wall.



2. Already wrote about mounting grids. Especially on the tower.
3. The machine gun on the commander's hatch. In the stowed position, he just looks him in the head.The consequences are clear - the gate in a charged state stands on the sear - and if it goes wrong ?! At the time, 72 -Ke changed location "Moon" and turn the tower in the stowed position as compared to the 64th. There was similar - in the back of the head mechanic. In cases were GSVG.



4. Air Conditioning. Definitely needed! We at GM, lady, and measure the microclimate itself fainted (barely pulled out - she was 95 pounds or more), and it is the middle band, xxxxx area and the end of May. I know what's going on inside the product near Ashgabat (thank God not in the summer). But I somehow got into the 72-ku Chirchiq in August !!!! After that, I really admired the guys ...... So, it is clear - the air conditioning works! But! How to put it?
I did not say that he was "before the first fragment" (and expensive thing)! I'm not sure that in this case it will provide airflow mehvoda. As they dragged the duct from the tower?Through a rotating joint? He should be a place in the body. New condo (the one that is now shown) is on the side of 2 huge fan not covered by the normal grid - all branches there (or in the desert there is no branches?).



5. Lights normally reserved - had something to compare (covers closed even signals).
6. On the surface of the hull and turret (including in the frontal projection) goes a huge number of some cables that posekutsya fragments from Strelkovka!Example Syria! Know everything! Competitors cover all broneschitkami (covers).



7. Protection of the sides of the tower. Example and Leclerc and Leo. Specifically there!

8. idiotic box with CD. Who will it be charged?And it should be at least 2 people? !!! Some questions! ... .. With the same success can be transported in BC packaging (boxes) on the armor!
9. Protection sights. Do not broneshtorki panorama.How to pull out (over the top), this tin plate ... And if he has any kind of protection? We have competitors!


I

looked blog Varlamov. He's certainly not a pro, but many have noted correctly and I agree with him! He walked with us ... that if- he took from them a little pravee- my face would fall into the frame. History, as we know has no subjunctive mood ... Varlamov for some reason do not like to prof. environment, but! He's a good photographer and as not a professional, possibly notices what the eye has zamylen! In addition, his many znayut- it in the tank is empty and I, for example, no! Why pishu- read your post and the comments of some of his comrades.



Yes! Another zametochka about Arabic MIC! Of course, they have an absolute monarchy! However, the frames are selected not on the basis of personal loyalty or kinship (I'm not talking about the most verhah- there is clear-family). How to approximately 2 years ago worked with us guy (on the rank of lieutenant) xxxxxxx head group of the royal guard. Intelligent guy - went to the field, he did not take his 5:00 *** from xxxxxx. All with sex trafficking! Throw a couple of good ideas that we have implemented for them. Who led the Caracal! He is one of the photographs.
