can you post bits of a link to any other report (one that I can fill in the dots to make it work).

Russian special forces troops already in the coming year will be a helicopter with the latest navigation and attack systems that will significantly increase the power of the special forces. A source in the military-industrial complex (MIC) said "News" that at Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant (Republic of Buryatia) prepared design documentation and began delivery of equipment from manufacturers.

- His work Works completed on time and on time will present the car to the test - promised representative DIC.

"News" already wrote that the Defense Ministry has announced a tender for the development of the helicopter for Special Forces . At the end of last year, a plant in the capital of the Buryat specification approved by the customer. The new on-board put on the Mi-8AMTSh tested with so-called dolphin nose characteristic of the tab in the bow, where in conventional models mounted radar.

Navigation-shock system yet nameless and should get the name after the state tests. Manufacturers of its components have not been disclosed. Interlocutor "News" shared its basic performance characteristics.

The system includes an overview search station with heating and TV channels and radar for terrain following. Another station with TV and thermal channel and laser rangefinder serves aiming. Picture from the heat, television and radar images displayed on separate monitors for both pilots.

There is also a navigation system based on GLONASS and searchlight TSL-1600, working in the infrared range with illumination for night vision devices and a conventional optical special power.

Illuminator is designed to illuminate the battlefield or the air space in bad weather. According to the terms of reference, all equipment must be compatible cockpit with night vision goggles, which rely on a complete crew. That is, the pilot can see the readings, and a picture of a monitor via the general points that reproduce the image only in black and green.

- In the process of matching the specification was only one change - the requirements for the arming of the helicopter. Originally it was planned to install anti-tank guided missile (ATGM), but the producers rests on the fact that they have to put a separate sighting system, wiring and power cables, and no matter spetsnaz helicopter combat armored vehicles, as army aviation. It was therefore decided to retain only rockets and machine guns at the door and on the ramp - told the "News" at the Ulan-Ude aviation plant.

In total, there are four new complex multi monitor, two for the pilot. Everyone sees the same image display with a survey station and terrain following radar, the second - a panoramic view of the helicopter from the top, as in modern automotive systems around view.

In doing that, the system of so-called Glass-Sockpit in which ordinary pointer instruments are kept to a minimum, and all flight parameters, searching for targets and guidance are displayed as in computer games. This makes it possible to fly in any weather and time of day without visual observation.

According to "Izvestia", only to be ordered no more than 20 wonderful machines. They are designed for getting to and evacuation of special forces behind enemy lines and the need fire support. The tests are scheduled at the range of 929-State Flight Test Center (GLIC) in the suburban Chkalovsk.

However, the Defense Ministry wary about the timing of purchases of serial models.

- It is remarkable that the producers in Ulan-Ude are optimistic about the near future. But the navigation and attack systems while only in drawings. Although the Mi-8 reliable and seasoned time, there are certain issues to its electronics. But I will not deny that the spetsnaz helicopter is very necessary in the Caucasus, - said, "Izvestia", the representative of the military department.

According to an independent military expert, one of the authors of the book "The New Russian Army" - Anton Lavrov, the Russian Air Force used the world experience.

- In the West, there has long been the helicopters for special forces - for example, an American family of MH-60 BlackHawk, French Ec-725 Saracal. The whole world experience shows that nighttime operations give technical superiority of the Party over the less prepared opponent and solve complex tactical tasks with minimal losses - said he was "news."

According to the expert, the new Special Forces helicopters will be widely used in the Caucasus, where the mountains, woodlands and frequent bad weather, especially in winter. The presence of the survey and targeted multichannel stations will detect and eliminate militant bases in disguise.

MOSCOW, October 17 (RIA Novosti) – The Defense Ministry will start official tests of a new thermal vision scope as part of Russia’s futuristic combat kit later this month, the system’s developer said Thursday.

There are currently 160 prototype scopes at an army special forces (spetsnaz) facility near Moscow, said Oleg Yakovlev, advisor to the general director of the Tsiklon scientific research institute.

The scope, which can spot a target at a distance of 800-1,200 meters, is an essential component of the much touted cutting-edge Ratnik (Warrior) set and will cost around 1 million rubles ($30,000) per unit, he said.

Tests could last from several months to a year and a half, he added.
“We hope the final state tests will be a success and Ratnik’s thermal imaging system will be adopted in 2014,” Yakovlev said.

From reading what little I have been able to find on them, beginning to wonder if they are not attached to the 322nd SOC. Perhaps the base for Operations in the Caucasus's. Anyone else have anything on this?
