New complexes of active protection of armored vehicles will be delivered to Turkey

in #ukraine7 years ago

At  present, the active protection systems "Zaslon" and "Hornet" are at the  final stage of launching into mass production at the facilities of the  state enterprise "Artyom" Machine Building Company, where the  technological line is being set up now, the director told the" Defense  Industry News " State Enterprise "Core Center for Critical Technologies" Microtech "Sergei Shvydkoi.
There will collect modules, while all electronics - a radar sensor, etc. - going to the production of "Mirkoteka". Thus,  we cooperate with Ukroboronprom as a general developer, we have a  license agreement, we conduct maintenance, we get royalties. In  autumn of 2017, during the exhibition "Zbroya ta bezpeka 2017", the  first export contract was signed with the Turkish company Aselsan. The Turkish market is now opening for us great prospects, because of  the complex political relations of Ankara with both the EU and the US,  and with the Russian Federation, which does not supply Turkey with its  complexes, Shvydkoi told the agency.
New modules can be installed on the whole machine in a quantity of six  pieces, in contrast to the previous version, when one module was on one  side - a tank or an infantry fighting vehicle. Previously, there was a problem of simultaneous operation of several modules, which is now eliminated. The new complex of active protection is universal, suitable for both tanks and light armored vehicles. Only the active charge is changed, which is weaker on the light technique, in order to avoid damage to the side itself. A new radar detection system is also introduced, which does not conflict with other locators. All  this is included in the complexes, which will be supplied under  contracts to Turkey, as part of the modernization of the M60-A3 Sabra  tank. The  first deliveries are scheduled for the end of March and beginning of  April, - the director of the state enterprise "BCCT" MICROTEC "summed  up.
