Lukashenko got acquainted with options for using samples of weapons and military equipment
During today’s working trip to the Brest Region, episodes of the combat use of weapons and military equipment were demonstrated to President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko at the 230th Obuz-Lesnovsky Combined Arms Training Range
In particular, episodes of the combat use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were shown, as well as the integrated combat use of counter-drone means and the use of automated control systems to enhance the combat capabilities of military formations.
The practical event began with a demonstration of the use of standard domestic high-explosive fragmentation ammunition weighing from 500g to 2kg both by being dropped from UAVs and delivered to the target by FPV drones. The practical work on the conditional goals of the domestically-produced unmanned aviation complexes Kvadro-M, Chekan V, Mirotvorets and Lovchy continued the show. All of them successfully completed the tasks in full accordance with their tactical and technical characteristics.
During the practical episode dealing with the integrated combat use of counter-drone weapons, the Head of State had a chance to see the Zvonok and Fumigator products at work. These enabled the military personnel to timely identify and prevent attacks by enemy UAVs on an assault group and an ambulance. Additionally, viewers could observe the suppression of the control channel of a spy plane by the electronic warfare station R-936 (Aero).
The practical demonstration continued with a tactical episode aiming to repel an armed breakthrough through the state border. To organise an ambush in the direction of a possible exit of the sabotage and reconnaissance group, a platoon was sent on the V2 armoured personnel carrier equipped with a remotely controlled combat module ADUNOK-BM30.2 – developed by the Display Design Office JSC. The module’s main armament is a 30mm 2A42 automatic cannon and a 7.62mm Kalashnikov tank-mounted machine gun (PKT) paired with it. A distinctive feature of this module (compared to the previous version of the ADUNOK-BM30) is the presence of an additional type of weapon in the form of the KONKURS-RB anti-tank missile system with guides for two anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) of type 9M113 and 9M113M. This module is also equipped with a 902B smoke-screen laying system.
After the sabotage and reconnaissance group was identified, it was defeated from the armament of the V2 armoured personnel carrier and Belarus-made Sapphire grenade launcher complex – developed by the Belspetsvneshtechnika enterprise. The peculiarities of the complex include two modes of operation: ‘contact’ and ‘trajectory’ (undermining the warhead on the flight path of the product at a set range), as well as the ability to fire a cluster of up to four products to increase the density of fire.
The practical work of the BM-21-B Belgrad-2 MLRS rocket artillery battery – developed by the 2566 Radioelectronic Armament Repair Plant JSC, which was adjusted using the Berkut unmanned aviation complex – completed the show.
