No, I think he is referring to all those British, French and German models at Lima 2013.
No one deals death like the colonial powers of Europe it seems.

So Russian Army will be using both Tigr/Tigr-M and Scorpion-LTA as Light Transport ?
Why these two types when they already build Iveco ? Can any one explain where these two types will be used ?

If you look at their specs the TigrM and Scorpion are different weight class vehicles.
The Iveco will likely not see widespread production and use in the Russian military.

The plan is still for over 1300+ Ivecos to be produced it looks like.
Scorpion is my favorite for an UAZ replacement.

Stupid question, but how does that hatch work on the tigr? It looks like one solid plate.

Good question, no idea. I thought it was a two part hatch, seems to be one plate.

Nice photos of T-72B3.
The tank has new guns -2A46M5, but old V-84 engines.
Modernization price also includes capital repairs, so not a terrible deal for 53 million rubles.

So it was said by someone here that Russian infantry is not using laser-tag systems and are generally lacking when it comes to infantry tactics.

I've seen it couple years ago, but never being used by army. Looks like it was updated.

Russia May Soon Adopt ‘Future Soldier’ Gear – Rogozin
KOVROV, June 4 (RIA Novosti) – The Russian version of “future soldier” gear could be put into service with the armed forces in the near future, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Tuesday.
Rogozin, who visited the privately owned Degtyarev small arms plant in central Russia, said the tests of domestically designed Ratnik (Warrior) gear had been completed.
“There are some issues with small arms that should be addressed in the near future, and after that the gear will be adopted by the army,” Rogozin said.
Ratnik comprises more than 40 components, including firearms, body armor and optical, communication and navigation devices, as well as life support and power supply systems, and even knee and elbow pads. The equipment can be used by regular infantry, rocket launcher operators, machine gunners, drivers and scouts.
Many other nations have similar future soldier equipment programs in progress, including the U.S. Land Warrior, Germany's IdZ, Britain's FIST, Spain's COMFUT, Sweden's IMESS and France's FELIN.
Rogozin stressed that the Russian gear would be superior in many ways to comparable NATO equipment.
“And we stand by our words,” he said.

So the kit is ready to go... just waiting on the new small arms... AK12SN no doubt or a competitor.

Seems they are centralising their robotics development and spending some money to improve it... which is good IMHO.

The new AEK-973 looks nice, but people love to bitch about the extra mechanical components, making it harder to clean and maintain in the field. I am not really interested in the AK-12 as I find it just a tacticooled variant of an AK-74M (well, maybe more ergonomic) and I figured that just getting the attachments for the AK-74M would be better for price wise.
Ratnik though looks great and hope that at least the frontline troops and the special forces get it in numbers.

The AK12 is not a tacticool Ak-74... they took the AK-74 as the base and looked at every criticism leveled at the design and tried to make the best possible AK-74 there could be without a fundamental change.
It is very much the same as the Ak12 is to AK-74 what the T-90AM is to the T-90M, the Su-35S is to the Su-27P, the Mig-35S is to the Mig-29C.
It is all the nice comfortable simple easy to use of western design with improved accuracy and the ability to add bits easily if you want to.
I especially like the ability to use western rifle grenades... this gun is just very nice, but without a new gas operation method it will only be new materials and features that add a little to the cost.
In comparison a balanced recoil mechanism rifle could fail in combat because when you cleaned it the night before in the cold and dark while you were hungry and tired and didn't align this bit with that bit when you put them back in the rifle.
Add modularity and multi calibre performance in the AK12SN model and I think I have found a rifle I like even more than the ADS... and the ADS looks very cool.
In fact it is better than western designs... most of which are designed for right handers. This rifle can be adapted for use by left and right handed people.
BTW it should be mentioned that many of the prototypes for the AK had a more ergonomic design with the cocking handle on the left and other such features but they were dropped for various reasons.

Yes, it's certainly not just a "tacticool" Ak-74, features such as the rails are very important for adding modern accessories. I think the rifle grenades are mostly valueless. Almost every military that used rifle grenades has discontinued their use. The standard M16 and M4 doesn't have ambi controls, but quite a few other western rifles do. The SCAR and recently adopted ARX160 by the Italians has fully ambi controls. The gas system will remain the same, but certainly they will change the harmonics of the bolt carrier to lead to better accuracy and lower recoil, with the plan being that they won't sacrifice the traditional reliability of the AK-74.GarryB wrote:I am not really interested in the AK-12 as I find it just a tacticooled variant of an AK-74M (well, maybe more ergonomic) and I figured that just getting the attachments for the AK-74M would be better for price wise.

Well, the rifle is compatible with them... it is up to the user as to whether they bother with them or not as the modification to make them compatible doesn't really change the design very much nor impact the use of the rifle.
Easier and more comfortable to use, more accurate, easy to add a huge range of existing western and new Russian equipment to... what more could you want?
The added advantage is that new Russian kit will fit Russian and western weapons without modification or adaption (ie without additional cost) which means Russian makers suddenly have a much larger potential market.
Who is sick of paying a grand for a red dot sight?

Yes, I guess it doesn't hurt anything but allowing them to rifle grenades. Have you ever tried to mount optics on your AK? I think you said you have a Norinco.GarryB wrote:I think the rifle grenades are mostly valueless.
