India Menerima Proposal Baru dari Rusia untuk Membangun Tank T-14 Armata Secara Lokal.

Senin, 04-08-2025.

Rusia telah menawarkan versi lokal tank tempur utama T-14 Armata kepada India sebagai basis program Tank Tempur Utama Generasi Berikutnya/Next Generation Main Battle Tank (NGMBT) India. Penawaran ini mencakup produksi berlisensi di India dalam kategori pengadaan "Make-I", yang memungkinkan pendanaan pemerintah India hingga 70% untuk pengembangan prototipe. Perusahaan milik negara Rusia, Uralvagonzavod, dilaporkan menyatakan kesediaannya untuk mengintegrasikan persyaratan India ke dalam desain T-14, termasuk adaptasi terhadap medan India, kebutuhan operasional spesifik, dan integrasi mesin DATRAN-1500HP yang dikembangkan di dalam negeri untuk menggantikan mesin standar 12N360. Biaya yang diusulkan untuk T-14 berkisar antara Rs 30 dan 42 crore per unit (sekitar $3.43 juta hingga 4.80 juta), tetapi produksi lokal di India dapat mengurangi biaya ini setidaknya sebesar Rs 10 crore ($1.14 juta). Uralvagonzavod telah mengindikasikan keterbukaan untuk berkolaborasi dengan Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) India atau entitas pertahanan sektor publik lainnya. Proposal tersebut bertujuan untuk menggantikan armada T-72 Ajeya India yang menua dan menggabungkan ketentuan untuk pengembangan bersama dan produksi lokal di luar perakitan sederhana atau impor suku cadang. T-14 Armata saat ini merupakan tank tempur utama tercanggih Rusia dan memiliki sejumlah inovasi yang tidak ada pada model Soviet atau Rusia sebelumnya.

Dirancang berdasarkan Armata Universal Combat Platform, T-14 memiliki turret otomatis penuh tanpa awak di dalamnya, sementara tiga awak duduk di dalam kapsul lapis baja yang terlindungi di lambung depan. Tank ini dipersenjatai dengan meriam smoothbore 2A82-1M 125 mm yang mampu menembakkan peluru standar dan peluru kendali, dengan klaim bahwa peningkatan ke meriam 152 mm di masa mendatang dapat dilakukan. Tank ini menggunakan radar AESA gelombang milimeter untuk deteksi menyeluruh, dan sistem proteksi aktif "Afghanit" untuk mendeteksi dan mencegat ancaman anti-tank yang masuk. Tank ini juga mencakup lapisan baja reaktif Malachit yang terintegrasi ke dalam strukturnya. Tank ini memiliki berat sekitar 55 ton, jangkauan operational sekitar 500 kilometer, dan perkiraan kecepatan tertinggi antara 75 dan 80 km/jam. T-14 dilengkapi perangkat lunak manajemen medan perang dan sistem elektronik yang menyediakan kewaspadaan situasional dan penanggulangan ancaman. T-14 dikonfigurasi untuk beroperasi di iklim ekstrem, termasuk lingkungan dataran tinggi dengan rentang suhu yang luas, dan dapat dipersenjatai dengan berbagai amunisi, termasuk sistem anti-lapis baja dan anti-pesawat. T-14 Armata diperkenalkan kepada publik pada tahun 2015 selama parade Hari Kemenangan Moskow. Kendaraan ini menyusul pembatalan T-95 dan dikembangkan dengan sebutan Objek 148 oleh Uralvagonzavod. Rencana pengadaan awal Rusia menargetkan 2.300 unit antara tahun 2015 dan 2020, tetapi kemudian direvisi karena kendala biaya dan produksi.

Laporan menunjukkan bahwa kurang dari 20 unit telah dikirimkan pada awal tahun 2024, sebagian besar untuk penggunaan uji coba. Kendaraan itu dilaporkan telah diuji di Suriah dan diamati selama latihan di Rusia, tetapi belum dikonfirmasi dalam peran tempur garis depan. Uji coba negara diperpanjang hingga tahun 2020-an, dan pada bulan Maret 2024, CEO Rostec Sergey Chemezov menyatakan bahwa T-14 telah memasuki layanan terbatas dengan Angkatan Bersenjata Russia. Namun, ia menambahkan bahwa karena biayanya yang tinggi, itu tidak akan menggantikan T-90, yang terus diperoleh dalam jumlah yang lebih besar. Beberapa video T-14 yang dilaporkan di Ukraine tidak dapat diverifikasi dan mungkin merupakan rekayasa atau diambil selama pengujian non-tempur. Inventaris Rusia saat ini sebagian besar terdiri dari varian T-72, T-80, dan T-90 yang telah ditingkatkan, sementara T-14 masih digunakan secara terbatas. Pembaca mungkin bertanya-tanya apakah Rusia tidak ingin melewatkan terlalu banyak langkah sekaligus dengan T-14, mengingat daftar panjang masalah yang saat ini diketahui ada. Mesin 12N360 telah mengalami kegagalan keandalan berulang kali, yang merupakan salah satu alasan Rusia terbuka untuk menggantinya dengan DATRAN-1500HP India. Transmisi dan elektronik kendaraan mengalami kesulitan integrasi. Penundaan dalam memenuhi tolok ukur uji coba negara dan dalam penerjunan unit operational telah merusak kredibilitas platform tersebut di Rusia.

Meskipun beberapa prototipe tank telah digunakan dalam latihan non-tempur atau ditampilkan dalam parade, hanya sedikit yang telah memasuki layanan reguler, dan tidak ada evaluasi kinerja medan perang resmi yang dipublikasikan. Biaya tinggi tank tersebut, dilaporkan antara $5 dan $7 juta per unit untuk Angkatan Darat Rusia, telah membatasi produksinya hanya untuk uji coba. Masalah-masalah ini menunjukkan bahwa tawaran Rusia kepada India mungkin sebagian dim

Vympel RVV-MD2 – Short Range Air-to-Air Missile With Inertial Control For Sukhoi Su-57 Felon

Vympel RVV-MD2 – Short Range Air-to-Air Missile With Inertial Control For Sukhoi Su-57 Felon

indomilitary| 04/08/2023

If the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jets rely on the AIM-9X as a short-range air-to-air missile, then the Kremlin's stealth champion, Sukhoi Su-57 Felon also has a rival, namely the Vympel RVV-MD, an air-to-air missile. infrared guided short range (two band infrared seeker) housed in the weapon bay. And regarding the RVV-MD, there has been news recently that a new variant has been developed, codenamed RVV-MD2.

If the RVV-MD has been claimed as the latest air-to-air missile, then the RVV-MD2 is clearly even more powerful, and is referred to by global defense equipment observers as the 'Super Missile'. So what makes the RVV-MD2 worthy of being the new mainstay of the Su-57?

According to a report from Ria Novosti, disclosure about the development of the RVV-MD2 is being made by the Moscow-based JSC GosMKB Vympel which is designing the latest generation of air-to-air missiles. About RVV-MD2 was disclosed in an article published in the magazine “Arsenal of the Fatherland.”

The article asserts that Russia has achieved a significant five to ten year advantage over the United States in developing fifth-generation air-to-air missiles, which are currently in production.

The new RVV-MD2 is the successor to the RVV-MD short-range “air-to-air” missile. This new missile has several advantages that Russian media claim will be very effective and lethal in aerial warfare. Victor Murakhovsky, editor-in-chief of Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine and military expert, explained that the RVV-MD2 is the world's first short-range missile that incorporates an inertial control system.

This system is designed to control and stabilize the missile during autonomous flight. The inertial system operates on the principle of a missile independently determining its coordinates in space without relying on external targeting or signals. Sensors on the missile calculate its position based on previously known positions, enabling the missile to navigate and maneuver accurately in its flight trajectory.

The RVV-MD2 has a radio correction line that allows the aircraft to correct target coordinates. This improvement significantly increases the chances of successfully engaging and hitting enemy aircraft during combat.

Compared to the previous version, the RVV-MD2 now uses a multi-element multi-band infrared seeker with better immunity to jamming attempts. The advanced homing head enables the RVV-MD2 to engage targets effectively from all angles, including targets at the rear of the aircraft.

In other words, the RVV-MD2 can be launched forward, maneuver in the air, and successfully hit enemy aircraft following behind the Su-57, further increasing its combat capability. However, details about the planned integration of the missile into the Su-57 fleet and its overall production scale have yet to be announced.

using infrared guidance (two band infrared seekers) combined with gas/aerodynamic control, making this 106 kg missile able to pursue targets from various angles. Of the weight that reaches 106 kg, 8 kg of which are warheads.

The RVV-MD is not only designed to hit fighter jets, transport aircraft and helicopters, more than that, the RVV-MD was designed by the Vympel Design Bureau to destroy cruise missiles, it can even destroy targets that emit radiation on the surface, such as radar stations.

The missile, which is powered by a single-mode solid fuel rocket motor, can certainly be used in day and night conditions, and is equipped with anti-jamming technology.

RVV-MD is capable of traveling at Mach 2.5 speed, this missile can pursue a maximum target of 40 km, and is at least effectively fired from a distance of 300 meters. Regarding the launch height, the RVV-MD can be launched at altitudes ranging from 20 meters to 20,000 meters. The RVV-MD can operate effectively from any direction, day or night, in challenging electronic countermeasures (ECM) environments.

With the RVV-MD2 which brings these advanced features and improvements, it promises to increase the combat capability of the Su-57 fighter jet even further. (Glang Prime)

Vympel RVV-MD2 – Rudal Udara Ke Udara Jarak Dekat Dengan Kontrol Inersia Untuk Sukhoi Su-57 Felon

indomiliter | 04/08/2023

Bila jet tempur stealth F-22 Raptor dan F-35 Lightning II mengandalkan AIM-9X sebagai rudal udara ke udara jarak pendek, maka jawara stealth Kremlin, Sukhoi Su-57 Felon juga punya tandingannya, yakni Vympel RVV-MD, rudal udara ke udara jarak pendek berpemandu infrared (dua band infrared seeker) yang ditempatkan dalam weapon bay. Dan terkait RVV-MD, belum lama ada kabar bahwa telah dikembangkan varian barunya yang diberi kode RVV-MD2.

Bila RVV-MD sudah diklaim sebagai rudal udara ke udara mutakhir, maka RVV-MD2 jelas lebih hebat lagi, dan oleh para pengamat alutsista global disebut sebagai ‘Super Missile’. Lantas apa yang membuat RVV-MD2 layak menjadi andalan baru pada Su-57?

Menurut sebuah laporan dari Ria Novosti, pengungkapan tentang pengembangan RVV-MD2 tengah dilakukan oleh JSC GosMKB Vympel yang berbasis di Moskow dan tengah merancang rudal udara ke udara generasi terbaru. Tentang RVV-MD2 diungkapkan dalam sebuah artikel yang diterbitkan di majalah “Arsenal of the Fatherland.”

Artikel tersebut menegaskan bahwa Rusia telah mencapai keunggulan yang signifikan selama lima hingga sepuluh tahun dibandingkan Amerika Serikat dalam mengembangkan rudal udara-ke-udara generasi kelima, yang mana saat ini telah mencapai tahap produksi.

RVV-MD2 baru adalah penerus rudal “udara-ke-udara” jarak pendek RVV-MD. Rudal baru ini memiliki beberapa keunggulan yang diklaim media Rusia akan sangat efektif dan mematikan dalam peperangan udara. Victor Murakhovsky, pemimpin redaksi majalah “Arsenal of the Fatherland” dan pakar militer, menjelaskan bahwa RVV-MD2 adalah rudal jarak pendek pertama di dunia yang menggabungkan sistem kontrol inersia.

Sistem ini dirancang untuk mengontrol dan menstabilkan rudal selama penerbangan otonom. Sistem inersia beroperasi berdasarkan prinsip rudal yang secara mandiri menentukan koordinatnya di angkasa tanpa bergantung pada penanda (targeting) atau sinyal eksternal. Sensor pada rudal menghitung posisinya berdasarkan posisi yang diketahui sebelumnya, memungkinkan bagi rudal untuk menavigasi dan bermanuver secara akurat dalam lintasan penerbangannya.

RVV-MD2 memiliki garis koreksi radio yang memungkinkan pesawat memperbaiki koordinat target Peningkatan ini secara signifikan meningkatkan kemungkinan berhasil menyerang dan mengenai pesawat musuh selama pertempuran.

Dbandingkan versi sebelumnya, maka RVV-MD2 kini menggunakan infrared seeker multi-elemen multi-band dengan kekebalan terhadap upaya jammimg yang lebih baik. Dengan homing head canggih memungkinkan RVV-MD2 untuk menyerang target secara efektif dari semua sudut, termasuk sasaran di bagian belakang pesawat.

Dengan kata lain, RVV-MD2 dapat diluncurkan ke depan, bermanuver di udara, dan berhasil mengenai pesawat musuh yang mengikuti di belakang Su-57, yang selanjutnya meningkatkan kemampuan tempurnya. Namun, rincian tentang rencana integrasi rudal ke dalam armada Su-57 dan skala produksi keseluruhannya belum diumumkan.

mengadalkan pemandu infrared (dua band infrared seeker) yang dikombinasi dengan gas/aerodynamic control, menjadikan rudal 106 kg ini dapat mengejar sasaran dari beragam sudut. Dari bobot yang mencapai 106 kg, 8 kg di antaranya adalah hulu ledak.

RVV-MD bukan hanya dirancang untuk menghantam sasaran jet tempur, pesawat angkut dan helikopter, lebih dari itu, RVV-MD dirancang oleh Vympel Design Bureau untuk menghancurkan rudal jelajah, bahkan dapat pula menghancurkan sasaran yang memancarkan radiasi di permukaan, seperti stasiun radar.

Rudal yang ditenagai single-mode solid fuel rocket motor ini, dipastikan dapat digunakan dalam kondisi siang dan malam hari, serta telah dilengkapi teknologi anti jamming.

RVV-MD mampu melesat dengan keceatan Mach 2.5, rudal ini dapat mengejar sasaran maksimum sejauh 40 km, dan minimal efektif ditembakan dari jarak 300 meter. Soal ketinggian luncur, RVV-MD dapat diluncurkan di ketinggian mulai dari 20 meter sampai 20.000 meter. RVV-MD dapat beroperasi secara efektif dari segala arah, siang atau malam, di tengah lingkungan penanggulangan elektronik (ECM) yang menantang.

Dengan RVV-MD2 yang membawa fitur dan peningkatan canggih ini, maka menjanjikan peningkatan kemampuan tempur jet tempur Su-57 lebih jauh lagi. (Gilang Perdana)

German-supplied IRIS-T SLM Ukrainian Hanud Missile Destroyed by Lancet 3 Kamikaze Drone

Rudal Hanud IRIS-T SLM Ukraina Pasokan Jerman Berhasil Dihancurkan Drone Kamikaze Lancet 3

Satu lagi alutsista ‘mahal’ asal Barat berhasil dihancurkan oleh drone kamikaze Lancet 3. Dari video yang dirilis oleh akun Twitter “Ukraine Weapons Tracker” pada 1 Agustus 2023, terungkap secara jelas bahwa drone kamikaze Rusia berhasil menghancurkan sistem rudal pertahanan udara (hanud) IRIS-T SLM yang dioperasikan Ukraina. Ini adalah konfirmasi pertama atas hancurnya sistem hanud IRIS-T (InfraRed Imaging System Tail/Thrust Vector-Controlled) Ukraina yang dipasok oleh Jerman.

Mengutip informasi yang diterbitkan oleh Kementerian Pertahanan Jerman, militer Ukraina telah menerima dua unit IRIS-T SLM, berikut radar intai udara TRML-4D, yang mana unit perdananya telah diterima Ukraina pada Oktober 2022. Disebut alutsista mahal, pasalnya harga satu unit rudal IRIS-T SLM ditaksir mencapai US$430.000. Dan pada unit peluncur yang dihancurkan – dalam platfom truk MAN 8×8, terdapat delapan kontainer rudal hanud jarak menengah IRIS-T SLM.

IRIS-T SLM (Surface Launched Medium Range) adalah sistem pertahanan udara yang dikembangkan oleh perusahaan Jerman Diehl Defense. IRIS-T SLM didasarkan pada rudal udara-ke-udara IRIS-T, yang merupakan rudal udara ke udara jarak pendek/menengah berpemandu infrared. IRIS-T dapat melakukan manuver 360 derajat, dan dapat dikendalikan lewat radar.

Varian SLM memungkinkan rudal diluncurkan dari platform berbasis darat, memberikan kemampuan pertahanan udara jarak menengah. Rudal IRIS-T dikenal dengan kemampuan manuver dan akurasinya yang tinggi, menjadikannya senjata yang efektif melawan berbagai sasaran udara termasuk pesawat terbang, helikopter, dan drone.

Sejak diluncurkan oleh konsorsium Eropa yang terdiri dari perusahaan-perusahaan pertahanan dari Jerman, Italia, Norwegia, dan Spanyol, IRIS-T telah mengalami beberapa pengembangan lanjutan, termasuk peningkatan kemampuan sensor dan sistem panduan. Varian terbaru dari rudal ini, IRIS-T SL (Surface Launcher), dirancang untuk diluncurkan dari darat dan telah diperkenalkan oleh Jerman dan Norwegia pada tahun 2019.

IRIS-T SLM menggunakan sistem navigasi inersia dengan dukungan GPS, dengan tautan data radar untuk panduan komando selama fase pendekatan awal. Sementara interference-resistant IR seeker head diaktifkan pada tahap terminal. Pada tahun 2022, tersedia dua varian – IRIS-T SLS (jarak pendek) dengan jangkauan dan ketinggian 12 km dan IRIS-T SLM (jarak menengah) dengan jangkauan 40 km dan ketinggian maksimum 20 km.

Sementara sang penyerang, drone kamikaze Lancet 3, adalah produksi Zala Aero, anak perusahaan dari Kalashnikov Group. Drone kamikaze yang harga per unitnya US$35.000 ini, punya berat maksimum saat tinggal landas 12 kg, termasuk muatan bahan peledak 3 kg – high explosive (HE) atau HE-fragmentation.

Lancet 3 tu dibekali dengan panduan optik-elektronik dan modul panduan TV, yang memungkinkan kontrol atas amunisi selama tahap penerbangan terakhir sebelum menghantam sasarannya. Lancet 3 punya jangkauan terbang maksimum 40 km.

Diklaim Sebagai Decoy
Sementara dari pihak Ukraina menyebut bahwa apa yang diserang Lancet 3 adalah decoy, alias dummy dari sistem rudal IRIS-T SLM. Perdebatan dan diskusi tentang hal ini kemudian meramaikan komentar di jagad media sosial. (Gilang Perdana)

German-supplied IRIS-T SLM Ukrainian Hanud Missile Destroyed by Lancet 3 Kamikaze Drone

Another 'expensive' weaponry system from the West was successfully destroyed by the Kamikaze Lancet 3 drone. From the video released by the Twitter account “Ukraine Weapons Tracker” on August 1, 2023, it is clearly revealed that the Russian kamikaze drone succeeded in destroying the IRIS air defense missile system. -T SLM Ukrainian operated. This is the first confirmation of the destruction of the German-supplied Ukrainian IRIS-T (InfraRed Imaging System Tail/Thrust Vector-Controlled) airborne missile system.

Citing information published by the German Ministry of Defense, the Ukrainian military has received two IRIS-T SLM units, along with the TRML-4D air reconnaissance radar, of which Ukraine received its first unit in October 2022. It is called an expensive defense system, because the price of one IRIS-missile unit T SLM is estimated at US$430,000. And on the launcher units that were destroyed – in the platform of the MAN 8x8 truck, there were eight containers of IRIS-T SLM medium-range missiles.

The IRIS-T SLM (Surface Launched Medium Range) is an air defense system developed by the German company Diehl Defense. The IRIS-T SLM is based on the IRIS-T air-to-air missile, which is an infrared-guided short/medium range air-to-air missile. IRIS-T can perform 360-degree maneuvers, and can be controlled via radar.

The SLM variant allows the missile to be launched from ground-based platforms, providing a medium-range air defense capability. The IRIS-T missile is known for its high maneuverability and accuracy, making it an effective weapon against a variety of aerial targets including airplanes, helicopters and drones.

Since its launch by a European consortium consisting of defense companies from Germany, Italy, Norway and Spain, the IRIS-T has undergone several further developments, including enhanced sensor capabilities and guidance systems. The latest variant of this missile, IRIS-T SL (Surface Launcher), is designed for ground launch and was introduced by Germany and Norway in 2019.

The IRIS-T SLM uses an inertial navigation system with GPS support, with a radar data link for command guidance during the initial approach phase. Meanwhile, interference-resistant IR seeker heads are activated at the terminal stage. In 2022, two variants will be available – IRIS-T SLS (short range) with a range and altitude of 12 km and IRIS-T SLM (medium range) with a range of 40 km and a maximum altitude of 20 km.

Meanwhile, the attacker, the Kamikaze Lancet 3 drone, is the production of Zala Aero, a subsidiary of the Kalashnikov Group. The kamikaze drone, which costs US$35,000 per unit, has a maximum weight at take-off of 12 kg, including a 3 kg explosive payload – high explosive (HE) or HE-fragmentation.

The Lancet 3 tu is equipped with an optical-electronic guidance and TV guidance module, which allows control of the ammunition during the last stage of flight before hitting its target. Lancet 3 has a maximum flight range of 40 km.

Claimed As Decoy
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian side said that what was attacked by the Lancet 3 was a decoy, aka dummy, from the IRIS-T SLM missile system. Debate and discussion about this then enlivened comments on the social media universe. (Glang Prime)

Russia Will Send 50 Thousand Tons of Free Grain Commodities to 6 African Countries

Russia Will Send 50 Thousand Tons of Free Grain Commodities to 6 African Countries.

Putin emphasized that Russia can replace Ukraine's grain commercially or free of charge

Reporter: Kamran Dikarma.

Editor : Esthi Maharani.

MOSCOW – Russian President, Vladimir Putin, said he would send up to 50 thousand metric tons of grain commodities free of charge to the six African countries most in need. This promise was made by Putin when Russia decided to exit or no longer extend the active period of the Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI) agreement.

“I have said that our country can replace Ukrainian grain, both commercially and as grant aid, for African countries that are most in need. Even more so because we are expecting another record harvest this year,” Putin said while speaking at the Russia-Africa Summit held in St.Petersburg, Thursday (27/7/2023), quoted by the Russian news agency, TASS.

Putin also mentioned African countries that are likely to receive Russian grain commodities for free. “In the next three to four months, we will be ready to ship 25 to 50 thousand metric tonnes of grain free of charge to Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, Central African Republic and Eritrea respectively. We will also provide free shipping of this product to consumers," he said.

On that occasion, Putin also explained about the application of the BSGI. He revealed that since the agreement was agreed between Russia and Ukraine in July 2022, 32.8 million tons of cargo were exported from Ukraine. But Putin highlighted the fact that more than 70 percent of Ukraine's grain commodities, including wheat, go to high- and upper-middle-income countries.

Putin added that the share of countries, such as Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia, only accounted for less than three percent of the total grain commodities that had been sent from Ukraine. This means that less than 1 million tons of grain reached the African countries concerned. Putin felt that this had undermined the purpose of the BSGI agreement, which was to ensure global food security and help the poorest countries, including in Africa.

Russia has refused to extend the active period of the BSGI which ended on July 18, 2023. Russia's main reason for refusing to extend the BSGI is because it feels that the provisions related to Russia's interests in the deal have not been implemented. Demands regarding the reconnection of the Russian Agricultural Bank (Rosselkhozbank) to the SWIFT payment system, for example, have not been realized. Western sanctions that prevent Russian agricultural commodities and fertilizers from entering the global market have also not been lifted.

Another reason why Russia is reluctant to extend the BSGI is because it feels that the agreement has deviated from its original purpose, namely to facilitate the delivery of food commodities to countries in need. However, Moscow considers that Ukraine is openly "commercializing" BSGI and sending its agricultural products to developed countries, especially Europe.

The active period of the BSGI has been extended three times, namely in November 2022, and March and May 2023. Ukrainian ports on the Black Sea were blockaded after Russia launched its aggression against the country in February 2022. In July 2022, Russia and Ukraine, with the help of mediation by Türkiye and the United Nations, agreed on the BSGI. The agreement was signed amid fears of a global food crisis due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Through BSGI, Moscow provides access for Ukraine to export its agricultural commodities through its three ports on the Black Sea. In return, Moscow asked for its agricultural export operations, including fertilizers, to be exempt from Western sanctions. Russia has stated several times that the part in the BSGI regarding the exemption of its agricultural commodity exports from sanctions has not been realized. This was one of the factors Moscow wanted to leave BSGI.

Rusia akan Kirim 50 Ribu Ton Komoditas Biji-bijian Gratis untuk 6 Negara Afrika.

Putin tegaskan Rusia bisa gantikan biji-bijian Ukraina secara komersial maupun gratis

Reporter : Kamran Dikarma.

Redaksi : Esthi Maharani.

MOSKOW – Presiden Rusia, Vladimir Putin, mengatakan akan mengirimkan hingga 50 ribu metrik ton komoditas biji-bijian gratis untuk enam negara Afrika paling membutuhkan. Janji tersebut sudah disampaikan Putin ketika Rusia memutuskan keluar atau tak lagi memperpanjang masa aktif kesepakatan koridor gandum Laut Hitam atau Black Sea Grain Initiative (BSGI).

“Saya telah mengatakan bahwa negara kami dapat menggantikan biji-bijian Ukraina, baik secara komersial maupun sebagai bantuan hibah, untuk negara-negara Afrika yang paling membutuhkan. Terlebih lagi karena kami mengharapkan rekor panen lainnya tahun ini,” kata Putin saat berbicara di KTT Rusia-Afrika yang digelar di St.Petersburg, Kamis (27/7/2023), dikutip kantor berita Rusia, TASS.

Putin pun menyebutkan negara-negara Afrika yang kemungkinan akan menerima komoditas biji-bijian Rusia secara gratis. “Dalam tiga hingga empat bulan ke depan, kami akan siap mengirim 25 hingga 50 ribu metrik ton biji-bijian secara gratis ke masing-masing Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, Republik Afrika Tengah, dan Eritrea. Kami juga akan memberikan pengiriman gratis produk ini kepada konsumen,” ucapnya.

Pada kesempatan itu, Putin turut menjelaskan tentang penerapan BSGI. Dia mengungkapkan, sejak perjanjian itu disepakati Rusia dan Ukraina pada Juli 2022, sebanyak 32,8 juta ton kargo diekspor dari Ukraina. Namun Putin menyoroti fakta bahwa lebih dari 70 persen dari komoditas biji-bijian Ukraina, termasuk gandum,  dikirim ke negara-negara berpenghasilan tinggi dan menengah ke atas.

Putin menambahkan, pangsa negara-negara, seperti Ethiopia, Sudan, dan Somalia hanya menyumbang kurang dari tiga persen dari total komoditas biji-bijian yang sudah dikirim dari Ukraina. Artinya kurang dari 1 juta ton biji-bijian yang sampai ke negara-negara Afrika terkait. Putin merasa bahwa hal itu telah mengingkari tujuan dari disepakatinya BSGI, yakni memastikan ketahanan pangan global dan membantu negara-negara termiskin, termasuk di Afrika.

Rusia telah menolak memperpanjang masa aktif BSGI yang berakhir pada 18 Juli 2023 lalu. Alasan utama Rusia menolak memperpanjang BSGI adalah karena ia merasa ketentuan terkait kepentingan Rusia dalam kesepakatan itu tidak dilaksanakan. Tuntutan terkait penyambungan kembali Bank Pertanian Rusia (Rosselkhozbank) ke sistem pembayaran SWIFT, misalnya, belum direalisasikan. Sanksi Barat yang menyebabkan komoditas pertanian dan pupuk Rusia tak bisa memasuki pasar global juga tak kunjung dicabut.

Alasan lain mengapa Rusia enggan memperpanjang BSGI adalah karena ia merasa kesepakatan tersebut sudah melenceng dari tujuan awal, yakni untuk memperlancar pengiriman komoditas pangan ke negara-negara membutuhkan. Namun Moskow menilai Ukraina secara terang-terangan “mengkomersialkan” BSGI dan mengirim produk pertaniannya ke negara-negara maju, terutama Eropa.

Masa aktif BSGI telah diperpanjang tiga kali, yakni pada November 2022, serta Maret dan Mei 2023. Pelabuhan-pelabuhan Ukraina di Laut Hitam diblokade setelah Rusia melancarkan agresi ke negara tersebut pada Februari 2022 lalu. Pada Juli 2022, Rusia dan Ukraina dengan bantuan mediasi Turki serta PBB menyepakati BSGI. Kesepakatan tersebut diteken di tengah kekhawatiran terjadinya krisis pangan global akibat konflik Rusia-Ukraina.

Lewat BSGI, Moskow memberikan akses bagi Ukraina untuk mengekspor komoditas pertaniannya lewat tiga pelabuhannya di Laut Hitam. Sebagai gantinya, Moskow meminta operasi ekspor pertaniannya, termasuk pupuk, dibebaskan dari sanksi Barat. Rusia telah beberapa kali menyampaikan bahwa bagian dalam BSGI terkait pembebasan ekspor komoditas pertaniannya dari sanksi belum terealisasi. Hal itu menjadi salah satu faktor Moskow ingin keluar dari BSGI.

NATO and European Union Sign Joint Security Declaration Amid the Russia-Ukrainian War

NATO and European Union Sign Joint Security Declaration Amid the Russia-Ukrainian War.

BRUSSELS - NATO and the European Union (EU) signed a declaration of joint security cooperation – the first since Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year – highlighting the importance of the US-led trans-Atlantic alliance.

Speaking at a joint press conference with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said they were determined to take the partnership between NATO and the EU to another level.

Stoltenberg stressed the importance of the changing security environment in Europe after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. He said the partnership between NATO and the European Union would become even more important once Finland and Sweden become full NATO member states.

"With their accession, NATO will protect 96% of the citizens of the European Union and a higher share of its territory than ever before," Stoltenberg told reporters at NATO headquarters in Brussels as quoted by The Washington Times, Tuesday (10/1/2023) .

Even as some European leaders continued to call for emphasis on US military support, the joint declaration stated that NATO remains the foundation of collective defense for its allies and essential to Euro-Atlantic security.

“Our declaration makes it clear that NATO remains the foundation of our collective defense and remains critical to Euro-Atlantic security. It also recognizes the value of a more capable European defense that contributes positively to our security and is complementary and interoperable with NATO,” Stoltenberg said, agreeing that the EU's embryonic defense capabilities should complement NATO, as reported by Euronews.

This was also agreed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

“Russia's threats and challenges are the most direct, but they are not the only ones. We are also witnessing China increasingly trying to reshape the international order to its advantage. So we have to strengthen our own resilience. And with this new joint declaration, we are also taking our partnership to the next level," he said.

According to the declaration European countries should spend more and build stronger armies, but their efforts should complement NATO's strategy, rather than compete with it.

This is actually the third declaration that deepens security and defense cooperation in Europe. The declaration is based on similar agreements in 2016 and 2018 in the context of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine.

The European Union and NATO have 21 members who share common values and play complementary and strengthening roles in supporting international peace and security.

The increased cooperation between the two organizations has given it a new impetus since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Zelensky believes Russia is ready to launch a new, larger offensive

Zelensky believes Russia is ready to launch a new, larger offensive.

Kompas.com, January 4, 2023.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia plans to call up more troops for a new major offensive.

Zelensky believes Russia will mount a major offensive even though Moscow has faced some of its biggest internal criticism of the war over the attack which killed scores of new conscripts.

Kyiv has been saying for weeks that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to order another mass conscription and close its borders to prevent men from escaping conscription.

"We have no doubt that Russia today will throw everything they have and everyone they can muster to try to turn the tide of the war and at least delay their defeat," Zelenskiy said in his video address late Tuesday (3/1/2022).

Russian Drone Attack on Ukraine on New Year's Eve to Putin and Zelensky's Speeches

"We must thwart this Russian scenario. We are preparing for this. The terrorists must be defeated. Any new offensive attempts by them must fail," he added.

Russia's defense ministry on Wednesday (4/1/2022) blamed its troops' use of cellphones for a Ukrainian attack on New Year's Eve that it says killed 89 servicemen.

This is the deadliest incident Moscow has claimed for its troops since the start of the war.

If Russia plans a new mobilization, the deaths of a number of conscripts on New Year's Eve could undermine morale.

Hundreds of thousands of people fled Russia when Putin ordered the first call-up of reservists since World War Two in September after a military setback.

Putin said last month there was no need for further mobilization. But in a sign the Kremlin may now be considering, a small group claiming to represent Russian soldier widows issued a call on Tuesday for Putin to order a massive mobilization of millions of people.

Russian Drones Are 7 Times Cheaper Than Ukrainian S-300 Air Defense Missiles

Russian Drones Are 7 Times Cheaper Than Ukrainian S-300 Air Defense Missiles.

Thursday, January 05, 2023.

The fact remains that the smaller kamikaze drones used by the Russians were far cheaper than the Ukrainian air defense missiles used against them.

This was revealed in a New York Times (NYT) report which added that the price difference was creating problems for Kiev and its Western backers.

In its Tuesday article, the newspaper did not question Kiev's claim that most of the drones (UAVs) launched by Russia were shot down.

The NYT points out, however, that even in this case Ukraine's air defense stockpile has been depleted.

"How long can Ukraine sustain its efforts when many of its defensive measures cost far more than the drones?" wrote the NYT wondering.

“In addition to trying to destroy the incoming drones with anti-aircraft guns and small arms fire, the Kiev forces also rely heavily on fighter and ground-launched missiles which are very expensive,” wrote the NYT.

The newspaper quoted the head of Ukrainian consultancy Molfar, Artem Starosiek, as claiming using missiles against UAVs costs up to seven times more than the drones themselves.

"The drones used by Russia are priced at around $20,000 per unit, while surface-to-air missiles from the Ukrainian arsenal range from $140,000 for the Soviet era to $500,000 for the US-supplied NASAM system," Starosiek said.

The article claims the drone that Russia used in Ukraine was the Shahed-136, which was supplied by Iran. This claim has been denied by Moscow and Tehran on numerous occasions.

The Russian Ministry of Defense (Kemhan) confirmed that the Geran-2 drone was domestically manufactured, as was all the other hardware used in the military operation against Kiev.

Iran's Foreign Ministry only confirmed the delivery of a small number of drones to Russia before the outbreak of conflict with Ukraine.

Tehran stressed no new shipments had been made since then.

Nevertheless, Starosiek defended the Kiev strategy, arguing, “It still costs far less to shoot down a drone than to repair a damaged or destroyed power plant.”

However, the NYT warned, “The price differential between drones and air defense is an imbalance that could over time work in favor of Russia, against Ukraine and its allies, according to some analysts.”

As per Molfar's estimates, Russia has targeted Ukraine's military infrastructure and energy systems with around 600 drones since September, when UAVs began to be used more widely.

Russia drastically ramped up its attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure in early October in response to repeated Ukrainian sabotage on Russian soil, including the Crimea Bridge bombing, which Moscow blamed on Kiev.

Although the attack was welcomed by top Ukrainian officials, Kiev has denied involvement.

War Heats Up!, Kremlin Reveals US Become Main Beneficiary of Ukraine War

War Heats Up!, Kremlin Reveals US Become Main Beneficiary of Ukraine War.

Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov in remarks published Monday, December 26, 2022, alleged that the United States was fueling the escalation in Ukraine because the US was the main beneficiary of the war.

He said it was Washington and NATO that turned Ukraine into a global crisis by trying to defeat Russia and achieve a Western victory on the battlefield.

"The collective actions of the Western countries and [Ukrainian President] Volodymyr Zelenskyy, controlled by them, confirm the global nature of the Ukraine crisis," Lavrov said in a new interview with the state-owned TASS news agency.

“It is no secret that the strategic goal of the US and its NATO allies is victory over Russia on the battlefield as a mechanism to significantly weaken or even destroy our country,” he said, as reported by ZeroHedge, Wednesday December 28, 2022. Lavrov explained that “recipients the main beneficiary” of the Ukraine war was the United States.

This is because the main “geopolitical goal” remains “breaking the traditional Russian-European relationship in order to further conquer Europe”. Corruption Prosecution in Afghanistan, Ex-President Karzai Reveals US Role "Our opponents will only do anything to achieve this goal," he stressed. Furthermore, he explained that this is what is behind the Ukraine crisis which is increasingly sliding from a proxy war into a 'hot conflict' in which a nuclear-armed superpower is inching towards a direct clash.

The top Russian diplomat also pointed out that American defense contractors are cooperating with the Pentagon's plans to cash in on the war in "the coming years":

“The US is doing everything to prolong the conflict and make it more violent. The Pentagon is openly planning orders for the American defense industry for years to come, constantly raising standards of military spending… and demanding the same from members of the anti-Russian Alliance,” Lavrov said.

Likely at the forefront of Lavrov's mind in delivering this unequivocal assessment that very much points to an escalation on the horizon are US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's “Russia is weakening” statement from last April. For the most part, Lavrov's fresh words and perspective have been vindicated and proven accurate by past and more recent statements by US defense officials and planners.

On the energy front, Europe being forced to divest from Russian natural gas at the same time is widely seen as a major "win" for the US energy sector.

Austin's earlier remarks, which came just months after Russia's February 24 invasion, demonstrated the long-standing US policy that "we want to see Russia weakened to the point where it cannot do the things it did in invading Ukraine."

And as CNN underlined at the time while quoting a National Security Council spokesperson to underscore Austin's comments, the Biden White House goal is "to make this invasion a strategic failure for Russia."

"We want Ukraine to win," the spokesperson said in earlier comments.

“One of our goals is to limit Russia's ability to do something like this again, as Secretary Austin has said. That is why we armed Ukraine with weapons and equipment to defend against Russian attacks, and that is why we are using sanctions and export controls directly targeted at the Russian defense industry to undermine Russia's economic and military power to threaten and attack its neighbours."

Just Cut Production, Says Putin In Response To G7 Limiting Russian Oil P...

Just Cut Production, Says Putin In Response To G7 Limiting Russian Oil Prices

December 8, 2022.

Russian President Vladimir Putin finally spoke after the G7, European Union and Australia agreed to limit the price of Russian seaborne oil.

Last week, the G7, the European Union and Australia capped the price of Russian seaborne oil at $60 per barrel.

The limit on Russian oil prices was taken to suppress Moscow's revenue so that its war machine in Ukraine would stop.

On Friday (9/12/2022), Putin said that Russia only needs to cut its oil production and not sell it to any country that imposes price limits.

"Regarding our reaction, I have already said that we will not sell to countries that make such decisions," Putin told reporters at a news conference in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek.

"We will think, perhaps, even about the possibility, if necessary, of reducing production," Putin continued.

Currently, Russia is the world's second largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia. Moscow is also the largest gas exporter.

Putin said that Russia has production agreements with other members of the OPEC+ group of oil producers, so such a drastic step is still possible.

“We are thinking about this, there is no solution yet. And concrete steps will be set forth in a presidential decree which will be released in the next few days," Putin said.

Selling oil and gas to Europe has become one of Russia's main sources of income.

Putin has dismissed Western efforts to squeeze Russian finances, saying a price cap of $60 corresponds to what Russian oil is selling for.

The price of Russian Ural crude on Friday was around $53 a barrel, according to Reuters data.

Putin warned that Western attempts to limit prices would only lead to the collapse of the global oil industry and then catastrophic price increases.

“This will lead to the collapse of the industry itself, as consumers will always insist that prices are lower. The industry is already short of investment, short of funds, and if we only listen to consumers, then this investment will be zero," said Putin.

“All this will at some stage lead to catastrophic price spikes and the collapse of the global energy sector. This is a stupid, misunderstood and badly thought out proposal," Putin continued.

PATHETIC! Alert! Putin's Troops Withdraw From Ukraine's Kherson City, Ru...

Alerts! Putin Retreats on the Ukrainian Front, Russia Loses Again?

CNBC Indonesia News.

November 10, 2022.

Russia ordered its input to withdraw in the war frontline city in Ukraine, Kherson, Wednesday local time. This is a new surprise by Russian President Vladimir Putin's army. The announcement of the troop withdrawal was made in person by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at a televised meeting with the Russian commander in Ukraine, Sergei Surovikin. Russian troops, however, will defend themselves on the banks of the Dnipro River. "Start withdrawing troops," stressed Shoigu, quoted by AFP, Thursday (11/10/2022). The city of Kherson was actually the first city center captured by the Russians during the invasion. The city has become the only regional capital of Ukraine controlled by Moscow forces since the offensive began on February 24. But aggressive attacks by Ukrainian forces over the past weeks have seized villages in the Black Sea town. This Ukrainian siege is likely to make the Kremlin withdraw.

"They are just looking for a way out of a difficult situation," Natalia Gumeniuk, a spokeswoman for Ukraine's southern army command, said on the same website. "The fact that they deliberately announced that they were moving to the left bank doesn't surprise anyone. But we understand that we still have to fight," he added. Previously, Russia also carried out a massive evacuation of residents in the region. Martial law status was also announced by Putin. However, in a recent statement, Presidential Adviser to Ukraine Mykhaylo Podolyak said some Russian troops remained in the town. Kyiv itself is suspicious of Moscow's move. "We see no signs that the Russians are leaving Kherson without a fight," he said on Twitter. "Ukraine liberated territory based on intelligence data, not staged TV statements," he said again. Kherson is one of four Ukrainian regions that Russia declared it annexed in September. This was shortly after the pro-Russia-made referendum took place.

The announcement of the troop withdrawal in Kherson came shortly after the regional head appointed by Moscow, Kirill Stremousov, was pronounced dead in a car crash. There are at least 115,000 Russian troops stationed in the region.

Measuring British Public Willingness to Support Ukraine

Measuring British Public Willingness to Support Ukraine.

Wednesday, 2-11-2022.

Public support for sanctions against Russia remains high, but they could erode if the cost of living crisis worsens.

This was revealed in a poll by Ipsos conducted for Sky News. The survey shows that 70% of Britons remain supportive of imposing sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

But of that number, only 41% said they would still support sanctions despite further increases in energy bills.

That's a significant decline since March when 73% of people were willing to endure rising energy prices.

Since then energy costs have more than doubled adding more than £1,200 to the annual cost of a typical household.

Meanwhile about a third of people or 32% now say they will oppose sanctions if they lead to further increases in energy prices. This figure is up from only 8% of respondents in March.

The poll also shows that public support for Britain's role in helping Ukraine remains high. As many as 59% of people support sending weapons and money to the country.

While 58% also said the UK should take in more Ukrainian refugees

However, rising energy bills since March have made public support for sanctions more fragile than ever. According to the poll, 41% of the public are “very worried” about the impact of the war on the UK economy.

GOOD WORK!! Putin has no regrets about the invasion of Ukraine Everythi...

Putin has no regrets about the invasion of Ukraine. Everything went according to plan.

Monday (31/10/2022).

Even so, Putin considered Russia's invasion of Ukraine "going according to plan". Instead, he blamed the West for inciting war in Ukraine and playing a "dangerous, bloody and dirty" game and sowing chaos around the world.

"The historical period of undivided domination of the West over world affairs is coming to an end. We are standing on the border of history: Ahead is perhaps the most dangerous, unpredictable and, at the same time, important decade since the end of World War II," Putin said in a statement. his speech.

The 70-year-old former Russian spy said "our enemy, the West, is facing the inevitable destruction of their hegemony."

"Leaders of the Liberal West have undermined traditional values" all over the world, instilled a culture with dozens of genders, gay parades in other countries, Putin added.

Putin also believes that sooner or later new centers of a more multipolar world order will emerge and end Western hegemony.

The United States and others, he continued, must start a dialogue with Russia and other major powers about the future of the world. According to Putin, the world is currently facing an era of danger since World War II.

"The historical period of undivided domination of the West over world affairs is coming to an end," Putin said.

GREAT!! Finnish Police Arrest Criminal Who Gets Weapons Contraband Black...

Finnish Police Arrest Criminal Who Gets Weapons Contraband Black Market From Ukraine.

Tuesday, 1-11-2022.

IslamTimes - Criminals in Finland have obtained some weapons sent to Ukraine by their Western backers amid the conflict with Russia, said Finland's National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Weapons from Western suppliers to Kiev have also been found in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands, the Bureau of Investigation said. Finnish National

"We've seen signs these weapons have already found their way into Finland," NBI detective inspector Christer Ahlgren told news outlet Yle on Sunday (30/10/2022).

Assault rifles were among the armaments, Ahlgren said, but declined to provide further details, as the investigation was ongoing.

An arms trade route from Ukraine to Finland has been set up, according to investigators.

“Three of the largest motorcycle gangs in the world — which are part of a larger international organization — are active in Finland. One of them is Bandidos MC, which has units in every major Ukrainian city,” he said.

“Criminal organizations have their networks in Finnish commercial ports,” Ahlgren pointed out, adding that the mandatory security checks for airport staff do not apply to port workers.

Finland is not the only EU country with such problems, as "weapons sent to Ukraine were also found in Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands," he said.

“Ukraine has received a large number of weapons and that is good, but we will be dealing with these weapons for decades and paying the price here,” Ahlgren pointed out.

In early May, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stressed the need for accountability for American weapons supplied to Ukraine. At the time, Austin said he had discussed the matter with Kiev authorities, who provided assurances of liability.

In June, European Union law enforcement agency Europol warned that the Ukraine conflict could lead to a spike in arms and ammunition being smuggled into the bloc.

Around the same time, an investigation by RT Russia revealed that various weapons supplied to Kiev by the West were sold on the dark net.

Moscow has long criticized arms deliveries to Kiev by the US, European Union, UK and several other countries, arguing that they only prolong the conflict and increase the risk of direct confrontation between Russia and NATO.

For the First Time, Stealth Fighter Sukhoi Su-57 Felon Successfully Dest...

For the First Time, Stealth Fighter Sukhoi Su-57 Felon Shoots Down Opponent Fighter.

Tuesday, 1-11-2022.

Since flying for the first time on January 29, 2010 and entering the service of the Russian Air Force at the end of 2020, netizens have many questions, when will the Sukhoi Su-57 Felon stealth fighter jet compete in real air-to-air combat, to the point of bringing down the opponent's aircraft?

So far, the Su-57 has been involved in Russia's military operations in Syria, and was said to have been deployed on a limited basis in the early stages of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February. However, the Su-57 in military operations is deployed for air-to-surface missions, which means that it does not face off against opposing fighter jets.

Quoted from eurasiantimes.com (19/10/2022), it was mentioned for the first time that Russia's fifth-generation fighter jet, the Su-57, managed to bring down an opponent's fighter jet, namely the target of a Su-27 fighter jet belonging to the Ukrainian Air Force. The claim, originating from svpressa.ru, reveals that the Ukrainian Su-27 was shot down using a hypersonic long-range air-to-air missile, the Vympel R-37M. Still from the same source, it is said that the Su-27 was at an altitude to intercept the Russian kamikaze drone Geran-2 (Shaded-136).

According to the report, the Su-57 was most likely responsible for firing the missile, as US Air Force AWACS patrolling in Poland and Romania in 24/7 mode were unable to detect it.

Unfortunately, the location and date of the incident is not stated. For the record, the R-37M missile can also be launched from MiG-31BM and Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jets. It was previously widely reported that the MiG-31BM used these missiles to strike targets in Ukraine. Samuel Ramani, foreign and defense policy expert, tweeted that a Russian MiG-31 armed with R-37M missiles and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles recently landed in Belarus.

Meanwhile, Russian media claimed that the Russian Air Force used a new technique to locate Ukrainian air defense installations. In this tactic, Russian warplanes fire R-37M (RVV-BD) missiles in anticipation of rocket or missile attacks from Ukrainian air defense systems. Thus, the counterattack of the Ukrainian troops revealed their position.

AWACS Killer

The R-37 missile itself is not very recent, lined up as the Very Long Range Missile, the R-37 design has been first designed since the early 1980s, and was first known to exist in 1989.

With a weight of up to 600 kg and a firing range of up to 398 km, this super long-range air-to-air missile is prepared by Russia (d/h – Soviet Union) as a competitor to the United States' AIM-54 Phoenix. Even the R-37's glide speed reaches Mach 6, while the famous AIM-54 Phoenix is ??released from the F-14 Tomcat, the maximum speed is Mach 5.

With a shooting range beyond visual range, as well as super speed, of course this missile target is very chosen and strategic. For example, the target of the R-37 is the AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System) reconnaissance aircraft and C4ISTAR capable aircraft.

The latest variant, called the R-37M, can track targets with semi-active and active radar homing. Targets can also dauber from an altitude of 15 to 25,000 meters.

Compared to the first generation R-37 which reached a weight of 600 kg, the R-37M weight can be reduced to 510 kg. The warhead is HE (High Explosive) fragmented with a weight of 60 kg, although it doesn't hit the target directly, the explosion effect is believed to be able to destroy AWACS. Speed ??is maintained at Mach 6 or 7,350 km / h. (Prime Gilang)

Several countries claim to want to buy Iranian-made drones

Wednesday, 26-10-2022.

Some 22 countries are claimed to have made formal requests to buy Iranian drones after Ukraine accused Russia of using Tehran's drones to attack the country.

The former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as well as the main military aide to Iran's Supreme Leader, Major General Yahia Rahim Safavi, said some of the countries that were buying were splintered from the former Soviet Union.

"Today we have found that 22 countries in the world are interested in buying unmanned weapons from Iran," Safavi told Tasnim News quoted by Al Araby.

"Current candidate countries to buy Iranian drones include Armenia, Tajikistan, Serbia, Algeria, Venezuela and other countries," Safavi said, as quoted by Middle East Monitor.

Furthermore, Safavi explained that before the Islamic Revolution, Iran had imported 80 percent of its military needs from abroad. However, the Middle Eastern country is now producing its own military equipment.

So far there are no further details which other countries are buying Iranian drones. They also did not reveal what kind of drone the dozens of countries were asking for.

Iran is known to have many drones. Some of them are Shahed-136, Fotros, Saeqeh-2, and Mohajer-6.

The Shahed-136 drone, also known as the Kamikaze, was in the spotlight after Russia was said to have used the weapon to attack Ukraine.

However, Iran has denied sending the drone to Russia. The Shahed 136 drone carries a small warhead that explodes on impact

HAVING DAMAGED!! Russian Navy Submarine Novorossiysk to Undergo Repair in 2023

Wednesday, 26-10-2022.

According to information published by Tass on October 25, 2022, the Project 636.3 submarine of the Black Sea Fleet Novorossiysk (NATO: Improved Kilo) will undergo planned repairs at the Kronstadt Shipyard in 2023 after a months-long mission deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. as part of the Russian Navy squadron.

The Project 636.3 diesel-electric submarines of the Russian Black Sea Fleet regularly operate as part of the Russian Navy's permanent formations stationed in the Mediterranean Sea including the submarines Novorossiysk and Krasnodar.

Submarines of this type repeatedly strike terrorist targets in Syria with Kalibr-PL (SS-N-27 Sizzler) missiles from the Mediterranean Sea. They also hit targets in Ukraine from the Black Sea during Russian special military operations.

The Black Sea Fleet operates six Project 636.3 submarines built by the Admiralty Wharves Shipyard (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation).

On October 13, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported the arrival of the submarine Novorossiysk and the rescue ship Sergei Balk in Kronstadt. The crew was greeted by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov.

About Kalibr . missiles

The 3M-54 Kalibr, (??????, caliber), also referred to as 3M54-1 Kalibr, 3M14 Biryuza, (NATO reporting name SS-N-27 Sizzler and SS-N-30A) is a family of Russian cruise missiles developed by the Novator Design Bureau (OKB-8).

There are ship-launched, submarine-launched and air-launched versions of the missile, and variants for anti-ship, anti-submarine and land attack uses. Some versions have a second propulsion stage that initiates a supersonic sprint in a terminal approach to the target, reducing the time the target defense system has to react, while the subsonic version has a greater range than the supersonic variant. The missile can carry a warhead weighing up to 500 kilograms (1,100 lb) of explosive or thermonuclear warheads.

The difference in range values ??may be a political declaration of strategic effect, or it is possible that claims of a longer 2,500 km range could be attributed to the thermonuclear armed variant while the estimated 1,500 km shorter range is for conventionally armed missiles.

The domestic variant is the basic version of this missile family; these are 3M54 and 3M14. The export model is called Club (formerly Club). There are two main launch platforms: the Kalibr-PL (export Club-S), designed for use from submarines, and the Kalibr-NK (export Club-N), designed for surface ships.

Analisis Military Watch Sebut Tank T-62M Rusia Memiliki Keunggulan Signi...

Analisis Military Watch Sebut Tank T-62M Rusia Memiliki Keunggulan Signifikan.

Minggu, 23-10-2022.

Majalah Military Watch telah menilai prospek penggunaan tank T-62M yang dimodernisasi yang dipamerkan di forum teknis militer internasional Army 2022. Majalah itu percaya bahwa sumber-sumber Barat terlalu pesimis dalam menilai penyebab dan konsekuensi dari modernisasi tersebut dan menganggap bahwa kendaraan lapis baja yang ditingkatkan dapat mengambil bagian dalam perang di Ukraina.

Tank tempur utama T-62 diproduksi dari tahun 1962 hingga 1975 oleh perusahaan-perusahaan yang saat ini merupakan bagian dari Grup Uralvagonzavod Rusia (UVZ, bagian dari perusahaan teknologi tinggi negara Rostec). Secara keseluruhan, sekitar 20.000 tank T-62 diproduksi.

“T-62 pertama kali memasuki layanan pada tahun 1961 dan secara luas dinilai sebagai tank paling unggul di dunia pada saat itu termasuk oleh para ahli AS dan Israel yang menganalisis unit yang berhasil ditangkap setelah Perang Yom Kippur 1973,” tulis artikel tersebut. “Tank itu adalah tank pertama di dunia dengan peluru smoothbore gun dan armor piercing fin stabilizing discarding sabot (APFSDS), dan menunjukkan keunggulan yang nyata atas tank M60 dan Chieftain yang dipasok AS dan Inggris selama Perang Iran-Irak sebagaimana dibuktikan oleh para perwira dari kedua belah pihak.”

Pada tahun 1983, kendaraan lapis baja mulai menjalani peningkatan berat ke level T-62M (M1/MV). Selama modernisasi, perlindungan lapis baja tambahan dari turret, hull & bottom, slat armor, serta peluncur granat asap Tucha dan sistem gyro-stabilized optoelectronic dipasang pada turret tank.

Versi upgrade dari tank, T-62M, dilengkapi dengan sistem optoelektronik multispektral gyro-stabilized dengan thermal imager diresmikan di forum Army 2022. Sistem gyro-stabilized optoelectronic dipasang pada turret tank. Juru bicara Kementerian Pertahanan mengatakan kepada TASS, sistem ini dikembangkan oleh Tsiklon Central Research Institute. “Ini mendeteksi target secara visual, dan memiliki saluran pencitraan termal dan pengintai dengan penangkal drone relevan. Kamera beresolusi tinggi mencari mereka, mendeteksi, mengunci, dan melacak mereka,” katanya.

"Memadai untuk ancaman saat ini".

“Meskipun tua menurut standar abad ke-21, T-62 yang dimodernisasi memiliki sejumlah keunggulan signifikan dibandingkan tank T-72 dan T-90 yang lebih baru yang membentuk tulang punggung lapis baja garis depan Rusia, yang dapat menjelaskan mengapa Rusia berinvestasi dalam meningkatkan kendaraan ini meskipun memiliki jumlah yang sangat besar dari T-72 dalam cadangannya, ”tulis artikel itu.

Menurut outlet media, T-62 dihargai karena persyaratan perawatan dan biaya operasionalnya yang jauh lebih rendah, dan juga mudah dilatih untuk memungkinkan personel baru belajar mengoperasikan kendaraan dengan relatif cepat. Penulis artikel mencatat keberhasilan penggunaan tank T-62M oleh tentara Suriah dan percaya bahwa T-62 yang dimodernisasi dapat digunakan untuk melengkapi tidak hanya cadangan yang dipanggil di bawah kampanye modernisasi parsial, tetapi juga unit dari wilayah Ukraina Timur yang memiliki baru-baru ini bergabung dengan Federasi Rusia, pasukan milisi yang masih belum sepenuhnya terintegrasi ke dalam Angkatan Darat Rusia. “Kurangnya tank modern Ukraina dan ketergantungan pada varian T-64 tahun 1970-an dengan sedikit peningkatan berarti bahwa T-62 yang ditingkatkan tidak akan kalah dengan baju besi musuh, terutama mengingat keengganan anggota NATO untuk melengkapi Kiev dengan tank yang lebih modern,” bunyi artikel tersebut. T-62 yang dimodernisasi dengan kontakt-5 atau pelindung reaktif eksplosif Relikt, thermal sights termal generasi terbaru, dan bahkan mungkin peluru APFSDS baru, di antara subsistem baru lainnya, dapat memiliki keunggulan kinerja yang sangat signifikan dibandingkan T-72 yang tidak dimodernisasi, menurut pakar Military Watch. Menurut outlet media, “walaupun beberapa sumber Barat telah mengklaim bahwa modernisasi dan reaktivasi T-62 adalah hasil dari keputusasaan setelah sanksi Barat terhadap sektor pertahanan Rusia, teknologi seperti thermal sights yang paling rentan terhadap sanksi justru yang akan meningkatkan kendaraan ke standar abad ke-21. Jika sanksi adalah masalah utama, akan lebih mudah bagi Rusia untuk mengaktifkan kembali T-72 dan T-80 dari cadangan daripada memodernisasi dan mengaktifkan kembali T-62-nya, yang berarti narasi semacam itu tidak terlalu berpengaruh.”

Majalah Military Watch mengutip beberapa sumber yang berspekulasi bahwa lebih dari 500 dan mungkin hampir 1.000 tank dapat dimodernisasi. Menurut artikel tersebut, tank adalah aset yang berpotensi berguna yang bisa murah untuk ditanam dalam jumlah besar dan relatif murah untuk dimodernisasi.
