(Click to expand images}
Novator Experimental Machine Design Bureau's Klub series including the 91RTE2 (ship based) and 91RE1 (
top
) Anti-Submarine missiles , 3M14E Land attack Cruise Missile and the 3M54E Three stage Anti-Ship Low Altitude Cruise Missile (
bottom
). The 3M54E is carried in a 8916 x 645 mm transport-and-launch tube, weighing 3655 kg. The missile has a maximum range of 220 km flying at a low altitude of 20 m with a cruise speed of 240 m/s. The three stages include the combat stage supported by a sustainer engine followed by a booster. The combat stage during the terminal phase and approaches the target at a speed of 700 m/s with a flight altitude of 5-10 m. A 200 kg warhead is carried.
?The Klub-S/N uses the 420 x 700 mm RADAR MMS ARGS-54E active-radar seeker which has a maximum range of 65 km. Angular coverage is -20? to +10? in elevation and ?45? in azimuth. The seeker weighs 40 kg (excluding radome) and is operable in temperature ranges of ?50?C and upto Sea State 6.
Novator OKB and KBSM Special Mechanical Engg. joinly build the 3S-14E universal under-deck VLS for launching all three 3M-54TE, 3M-14E and 91RE2 missile types. An 8 cell complex has a mass of 14,700 kg (mod.1) and a power consumption of 3~50 Hz, 380 V, 30 kWt. A 15,000 kg 3S-14PE Deck Inclined Launcher is also available.
The RUBIN Amur 1650 is designed to be more silent than the Kilo class itself but is smaller (1765 m? displacement) and more limited in most other fields. The snorkel cruising range (with increased fuel stock) at a speed of 7 kts is 6000 miles, submerged range of 650 miles at economic speed, endurance 45 days. The small Amur 950 of 1060 m? displacement, is still under development. It has an endurance of 30 days, range 300 miles when submerged, maximum speed of 20 kts. A crew of just 21 is carried compared to the Amur 1650's 35 .
The KILO (Project 877) has undoubtedly been one of the more successful non-nuclear submarines in the world. An improvement programme is underway which will include a new sonar complex with digital signals processing, a periscope complex with a non-penetrating optronic mast, a new radio radio comm. complex and other equipment of export origin. The sub can carry 4 Klub-S missiles (min.) / 18 Torpedoes / 24 mines and has an endurance of 45 days with the snorkel cruising range (with increased fuel stock) of 7500 miles at a speed of 7 kts. 52 crew members are carried.
Astrium GmbH (EADS) and CDB ME "Rubin" propose a RESUS-KILO ( REscue System for SUbmarineS) emergency surfacing system. It is based on 6 gas generators positioned in the No.3 Ballast Tank of the submarine which help GC64 generators introduce gas into the upper regions of the Main Ballast Tank (MBT), ejecting water via a gas duct and thus increasing buoyancy. The RESUS-KILO system is intended to help the submarine to surface from diving depths >250 m.
The DJIGHIT support launching unit (SLU) for the Igla MANPADS was mentioned but never seen at Aero-India. The 128 kg (empty) SLU can be knocked down into three portable sections and has overall dimensions of 2180 x 1546 x 1304 mm in the combat position which takes 3 minutes to deploy. Missile reload may be done in 2 minutes. The SLU which accomates 1 crew member, may also be combined with Mk-XA / Mk-XII IFF interrogators, optical day-night sights and external target designation aids.
The Igla-S features extended firing range (6 km), enhanced kill probability, reliability and service life when compared to previous versions. It can engage targets flying at speeds of 400 m/sec (head-on) to 300 m/sec (tail-chase) flying at heights from 10-3500 m. The Igla-S is compatible with DJIGHIT and STRELETS launchers.
The KBP Kashtan-M is undoubtedly the world's most powerful CIWS, combining two AO-18KD 30 mm AAG with eight 9M311-1E SAM launchers. The system is so powerful that it is also effective against smaller shore based targets. However, the Indian Navy maintains a slight bias in favour of the Barak.
KBP have developed a BMP-2 ICV modernization package which is now in the prototype phase. The upgrade replaces the main assemblies of the fire control system and adds the Kornet-E ATMS plus a 30 mm automatic grenade launcher with a range of 1700 m. The commander's BPK-2-42 standard sight has been replaced with a combined day/night sight. The 30 mm 2A42 automatic gun has been retained.
The KBP Kornet-E portable Anti-Tank Missile System (ATMS) consists of a 9P163M launcher and a 9M133-F1 laser beam riding missile of the 152 mm calibre. The Kornet-E has a maximum range of 5500 m and an armor piercing capability of 1000-1200 mm. The missile may be equipped with a HE / thermobaric warhead to produce the same incendiary effect as 152 mm HE / fragmentation artillery round.
RPO-A (thermobaric), RPO-D (smoke) and RPO-Z (Incendiary) Infantry rocket "flamethrowers."
SC Concern Izhmash's 7.62 mm SVD and SVDS Dragunov Sniper Rifles, BIZON-2-01 submachine gun, SAIGA-12C Hunting rifle / self-loading shotgun with a folding butt and operating handle, SAIGA-12K with a shorter barrel and trigger locking and an obscured AK-103 7.62 mm Assault Rifle. The SAIGA may be equipped with a variety of choke tubes and a sight leaf adjustable for windage and elevation.
