FIVE RUSSIAN WEAPON

SYSTEMS OF 2014

DAWN OF A NEW COLD WAR?

YASEN MULTIPURPOSE

NUCLEAR SUBMARINE

• The first Yasen submarine took 18 years to build due to political and economicturbulence.

• In 2014 Severodvinsk, entered the Russian navy.

• Russia's first multipurpose submarine, its combat objectives include destroyingenemy ships and submarines and striking land targets with winged missiles.

• Yasen carries 24 Yakhont supersonic anti-ship missiles with a range of up to 220miles, and Granat missiles capable of hitting targets around 2,000 miles away.

• For accurately striking land targets, the submarine is equipped with Caliber precisionmissiles.

VERBA MAN-PORTABLE AIR-

DEFENSE SYSTEM

• The new man-portable air-defense system has substituted the famous Igla.

• The system is equipped with an ‘intelligent’ self-guided head that does not reactto fake targets dropped by military planes.

• The Verba ‘sees’ unmanned aerial vehicles and winged missiles.

• These are targets with low thermal radiation and detecting them is not easy.However, for Verba this is a feasible task, since its fire-and-forget guidanceoperates in three spectrums (the former Igla operated in two).

• Verba entered the armed forces at the end of summer 2014 and according tomilitary experts, is a worthy rival to the American Stinger missile.

PLATFORM-M COMBAT

ROBOT

• Platform-M is capable of carrying out reconnaissance and patrol

missions, as well as guarding strategic objectives.

• Equipped with the Kalashnikov rifle, the robot can put up aneffective resistance and destroy even moving targets - and all of

this without human participation, since Platform-M is guided

automatically.

SU-35 MULTIPURPOSE

DESTROYER

• The SU-35S 4++ generation multipurpose super-maneuverable destroyer is the Russian AirForce's latest airplane.

• Fifth-generation technologies, including composite material, were used for its construction.

• The fighter, which entered the Russian Air Force in 2014, will be used primarily to destroyenemy planes.

• Equipped with short, medium and long-range guided missiles, it can also strike land targets,penetrating anti-aircraft defense systems.

• Its airborne radar system can simultaneously accompany up to 30 targets and help it fire onup to eight air targets.

• It also has export potential: Russia is currently negotiating supplies to China.

636.3 PROJECT VARSHAVYANKA

DIESEL SUBMARINE

• In 2014 the Russian Navy began to welcome into service these third-generation dieselsubmarines, which abroad are respectfully referred to as "black holes" for their power.

• The submarines from the improved 636.3 project have higher combat efficiency (in comparisonwith previous projects).

• The Varshavyanki (as the submarines are also called) can now ‘see’ farther and simultaneouslyremain unseen.

• The subs are equipped with modern torpedoes and Caliber winged missiles. They also containnew navigation equipment and a modern data control system that works autonomously and doesnot require human intervention.

• Six 636.3 Project submarines are to be constructed and given to the Black Sea Fleet. The first636.3 submarine, called Novorossiysk, is already serving in the fleet.
