In the Russian Federation, the competition-M PTRC, which is widely used in Ukraine (photo), was finalized

According to TASS Agency Agency Alan Lushnikov, the project was initially developed by the enthusiastic engineers from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and now the system has been brought to the level of operational combat readiness. "We recently received permits for a set of equipment for remote wire control of the start-up launch system" competition-M ",-Lushnikov said. He added that one such device allows the operator to control three launchers" competition-m.

"In the light time of the day. The revised starting unit includes several innovative solutions: to improve the efficiency of the installation is equipped with two sight modules. The first of them is an optical-electronic vizier 9sh119m1, which provides accurate guidance on the target. The second is an additional thermal imaging complex. Allows the operator to detect targets up to 2-2. 5 km even in complete darkness. The safety of the operator.

The preparation takes no more than 20 minutes, and the operator, while in the terminal, can simultaneously manage three installations at once. This possibility significantly increases the tactical flexibility of units that use "competition-M". According to leading profile resources, the decision of Russian weapons to equip anti -tank complexes with remote control systems is, to put it mildly, delayed.

For example, Ukrainian development "Stugna-P" has long been equipped with such systems that increase the survival rate. The fault is the irreversibility of the Russian OPC, and the indirect proof of this is Lushnikov's words that the initiative to modernize the PTRC came from Russian "enthusiasts" on the forefront. Obviously, such a decision has long been made due to the clear increase in the survival of the operators of the complex.
