  1. On the forum and in various discords, the topic has been raised more than once as to whether there was a ground-based radar on the BRM-1 in our gaming time of 1979-1982. Last week I started researching the topic and came across a reconnaissance vehicle operating manual from 1982. All that is known about the radar itself is that it began production in the mid-1970s. Perhaps the information provided will give us in the future a ground radar on the BRM-1K in one of the patches, since I can judge that a ground radar could initially be on all reconnaissance vehicles. Documentation of BRM-1K operation In addition, I studied the topic of thermal imagers in the USSR and learned some interesting things. The first Soviet zero-generation thermal imager to go into small-scale production was 1PN59 "Posobie-1", which consisted of 50 sensitive elements and had a scanning frequency of 16 Hz, and a target recognition range of 2000 m. This device was installed on PRP-4 (1984) - a mobile reconnaissance point used for reconnaissance and target designation of missile and artillery systems. The second thermal imager of the first generation was 1PN71 "Posobie-2" with 64 sensitive elements and a scanning frequency of 33 Hz. The target recognition range increased to 3000 m. This device was installed on PRP-4M (1988). The first two thermal imagers did not find widespread use in sighting equipment and were used only for monitoring the terrain on highly specialized reconnaissance vehicles. However, even if one wanted to, 1PN59 could not be used as a sight due to the low scanning frequency. Directly for equipping tanks, work was carried out on "Agava-1" thermal imager, which already had 100 sensitive elements and could recognize a tank-type target at 2000 m. "Agava-1" successfully passed tests, but the military abandoned it due to unsatisfactory characteristics, so the timing equipping Soviet tanks with thermal imagers moved back again. After this, the development of an improved version, "Agava-2" began. The number of sensitive elements was increased to 256 pieces, and the target recognition range increased by 20-30%. “Agava-2” suited the military, but its mass production took place in the early 90s, when the country no longer had time for thermal imagers, however, this sight will be installed on some Russian T-80U/UK tanks.

  2. When will the first news about Engine 5 come out, what will we expect and what new features will there be ?
  3. This made me laugh, as an explosives engineer I was surprised why the bomb was not deformed, why the fuse was not damaged.
  4. It seems to me that this is purely for propaganda, why should they, if more than 100k people applied to the military registration and enlistment offices in the first week to sign up for the army. He is a mercenary and in Antarctica he will be a mercenary. In this case, the idea will do more harm than good.
  5. An interesting answer was posted on the Combat Mission discord.
  6. In Kiev, armed men shot at a car with unarmed people, saying that "there were saboteurs in it." I think a regular military man should be assigned to self-defense units in order to prevent such cases.
  7. Putin is ready to send a Russian delegation to Minsk to negotiate with the Ukrainian one, Peskov said. According to him, Russian delegation will include representatives of the Defense Ministry, Foreign Ministry and Kremlin administration. I really hope that this is the hope for a cessation of hostilities.
  8. I am ashamed of the actions of my government, I hoped to the last that there would be no war and this is just a bluff. Now anti-war rallies are taking place all over Russia, no one supports this war, there are a bunch of idiots who support it, but I assure you that the majority of the population is AGAINST THIS WAR. I honestly empathize with Ukrainians, but in no case will I rejoice at the death of our Russian soldiers! Young guys who could live a long life and do so much good in life, and not die for the sake of crazy ideas.
  9. It will only speed up the development no more, in 2020 the development of a domestic ATGM with an attack in the upper hemisphere began.
  10. Yes, they will be used as conventional artillery, or in defense in difficult terrain.
  11. @domfluff @Haiduk The MT-12 "Rapira" cannon remained in the units of Northern Fleet and in some motorizedrifle ( mountain-assault) units. But 2S1 self-propelled guns are being withdrawn gradually and left in similar units in the same way.
  12. @John Kettler BMMP is a transcription in latin from russian designation БММП. Literally translated as "Fighting Vehicle Marine". At the same time, this is most likely not an official designation, but only the name of the program for RF Marines.
  13. He is not the only one, there are other users who also create topics that are not related to the game not for the first time. @BFCElvis Please close topics that are not related to gaming topics.
