Oleg Salyukov: all available samples, which are in service with the Ground Forces, have been tested in combat conditionsCommander-in-Chief of the Russian Ground Forces, Colonel-General Oleg Salyukov. (
This dude knows a lot more than we do)
TSAMTO, 30 September. All available samples, which are in service with the SV (ground forces), were tested in combat conditions during the military operation in Syria and are now successfully used in the SVO in Ukraine, confirming the high performance characteristics laid down in them.
Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces General of the Army Oleg Salyukov said this in an interview with the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
“There is no longer any doubt that the
Iskander-M missile system is the best complex in its class in the world and is capable of using both ballistic missiles and cruise missiles from one launcher, leaving no chance for the enemy within a radius of up to 500 km. it is extremely mobile and secretive, while the modernization potential built into the complex and being implemented by us today will allow it to outperform foreign models of missile weapons for many years to come and remain the main model in the missile formations of the Ground Forces.
As for the means of military air defense, in the course of a special military operation, almost the entire main type of military air defense weapons is involved.
The greatest effectiveness was shown by modern anti-aircraft missile systems
S-300V4, Buk-M2 (M3) and Tor-M2 (M2U).The results of the use of military air defense systems confirm that the greatest burden of covering troops during the operation lies with medium and short-range air defense systems.
The S-300V (B4) air defense systems, the Buk-MZ (M2) and Tor-M2 (M2U, M2DT) air defense systems proved to be effective in combating enemy UAVs and MLRS.
In defeating suddenly appearing air targets at low and extremely low altitudes at the forefront, the
Igla and Verba MANPADS have proven themselves well, which account for a third of the destroyed manned aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The analysis of the command and control system for the air defense forces of the groupings of troops, created on the basis of the automated weapons control systems
"Polyana-D4M1" and
"Barnaul-T" from the ESU TK, confirmed its effectiveness and the ability to control the forces and means of air defense in real time.
Thus, in the course of a special military operation,
the high efficiency of the layered air defense system is confirmed, and the integration of various air defense systems in it makes it possible to hit all enemy air attack weapons, including small-sized UAVs and MLRS rockets.
In modern conditions, the successful completion of tasks is facilitated by the use of complexes with UAVs. The tactical level of the Ground Forces operates small and light reconnaissance systems with short-range and short-range UAVs, as well as short and medium flight duration.
In the course of a special military operation, complexes with UAVs "Orlan-10", "Orlan-30" and "Eleron-3" proved themselves on the positive side.
Samples of armored weapons showed high efficiency during a special military operation.Thus, for the first time in combat conditions, the
T-90M "Breakthrough-3" tanks are used, in which there is a commander's panoramic sight, which allows the commander to assess the situation on the battlefield on the same level as the gunner-operator. At the same time, this sight is combined with a remote machine-gun mount, which allows the commander to fire from his workplace at the enemy’s manpower both from a standstill and on the move, regardless of the work of the gunner-operator.
Also, in the course of a special military operation,
tank support combat vehicles (BMPTs) are successfully used, which, being directly in the combat formations of tanks, ensure their combat operations. This is achieved due to the same high level of security and mobility as tanks, as well as the powerful multifunctional armament of the BMPT, which includes two twin 30-mm automatic guns, an anti-tank system with four Ataka supersonic missiles and two automatic grenade launchers.
In addition, the protected vehicles
"Typhoon-K" and models of weapons and military equipment created on their chassis show high efficiency in combat conditions.
For example, the use of protected "Linza" ambulances during a special military operation, which are designed to evacuate the wounded from the battlefield under enemy fire, made it possible to save a large number of soldiers and officers.
Separately, I would like to dwell on the results of the use of new-generation
Ratnik combat equipment sets, which are massively supplied to the Ground Forces and allow us to realize our main priority - to save the life and health of personnel.
The set of combat equipment "Ratnik (Warrior)" as a whole is at the level of the best foreign analogues, and in terms of protection of personal armor protection significantly exceeds them. With a 1.25 times lower mass, it has a 1.3 times larger area for protecting vital organs.
The full interview of O. Salyukov, timed to coincide with the Day of the Ground Forces, which is celebrated in the Russian Armed Forces on October 1, was published in today's issue of the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.
