Los anuncios sobre estos acuerdos se publican en el sitio web oficial del ministerio.

Los misiles de largo alcance comprados en Israel se utilizarán en un lanzacohetes ligero de 122 mm. Deberían aumentar y complementar significativamente las características de los sistemas de armas correspondientes.

" Esta compra es parte de la adquisición de equipos de defensa, que se iniciará rápidamente, para lo cual se han asignado fondos adicionales en el presupuesto estatal adicional ", comentó sobre el acuerdo el ministro de Defensa de Finlandia, Antti Kaikkonen.

El valor de la operación es de 70 millones de euros.

No se especifica para qué armas se utilizarán los misiles.

Tenga en cuenta que el sitio web de las Fuerzas Armadas de Finlandia afirma que el equipo principal de las unidades motorizadas y mecanizadas de combate es el obús 122 PSH 74 de 122 mm. Fueron comprados en Alemania.

Además, Finlandia está armada con cañones autopropulsados ​​de Corea del Sur Moukari (K9 Thunder) calibre 155 mm.

El contrato con Suecia prevé la compra de misiles Bolide, que se utilizan en los sistemas de defensa aérea ITO05 (ASRAD-R) e ITO05M (RBS70).

El valor de la operación es de 76,6 millones de euros.

" Esta es una compra importante de misiles que aumentará la preparación operativa y las características de los sistemas de misiles antiaéreos ", señaló el ministro de Defensa de Finlandia, Antti Kaikkonen.

ASRAD-R es un sistema de defensa aérea móvil desarrollado por Rheinmetall y Saab Bofors Dynamics. El sistema está instalado en la plataforma Unimog 5000. El complejo funciona de forma autónoma y puede estar en servicio de combate las 24 horas.

Cada unidad está equipada con cuatro misiles listos para disparar y una mira óptica diurna y nocturna para guiar continuamente el rayo láser hacia el objetivo.

RBS-70 es un sistema de misiles antiaéreos de fabricación sueca de corto alcance. Sus cohetes son guiados por un láser: su rayo crea un corredor a lo largo del cual vuela el cohete.

Hoy, la principal ventaja de este complejo es la ausencia de equipos electromagnéticos, lo que podría crear obstáculos para el uso del complejo.

The Lao People`s Armed Forces (LPAF) receive a new self-propelled howitzer (SPH) armed with the Soviet-/Russian-made D-30A 122 mm howitzer on the chassis of the Ural-4320 6x6 all-terrain truck, the press department of the LPAF said.

"The military is taking the deliveries of the new 122 mm SPH that is armed with the D-30A gun. The weapon will boost the combat capacity of mechanized infantry," the LPAF said in a statement. The military did not disclose the number of new guns to be delivered to its mechanized units.

A source from the LPAF told TASS that the troops would receive some 100 SPHs. "The armed forces now lack firepower. The delivery of these artillery systems will allow the military to increase its field fire support capabilities in a rapid manner," he said. According to the source, the SPH is not fitted with a digital fire control system (FCS). "It is just a D-30A howitzer mounted on the Ural-4320 truck. The system carries no optical-electronic units; however, it can be coupled to an automated FCS," he said.

The 122 mm D-30A howitzer is an updated variant of the world-known D-30. The D-30A is intended for destruction of manpower, hardware, engineering installations, artillery systems and mechanized units. According to the official specifications, the howitzer has a range of fire of 4-15.3 km, a rate of fire of six to eight rounds per minute, an elevation angle between -7° and +70°, a traverse angle of 360°, a combat weight of 3,200 kg, and a crew of six servicemen.
