En virtud de la asociación, OCWSB ha sido designado socio local oficial de Rheinmetall Air Defence y está autorizado para realizar trabajos de mantenimiento, reparación y revisión en varios sistemas de armas que la empresa ha suministrado a Indonesia.

Estos incluyen el sistema de defensa aérea Oerlikon Skyshield, que opera bajo el comando de acción rápida de la Fuerza Aérea de Indonesia, y el Oerlikon Millennium Gun, que se encuentra en la clase Martadinata de la Armada de Indonesia.

Con esta competencia, PT OCWSB también puede tomar ciertos aspectos de producción del revólver Oerlikon Skyranger GBAD de 35 mm, que se basa en el mismo sistema que Skyshield, dijo Jaklin en respuesta a una pregunta de Janes.

El GBAD también se puede acoplar con un sistema de cañón de 30 mm, pero con esa configuración, el arma sería más adecuada para contrarrestar las amenazas aéreas de vuelo bajo, como los vehículos aéreos no tripulados. La configuración de 35 mm es capaz de atacar aviones enemigos y municiones guiadas con precisión.

Analysis: Russian air defense focusing on drone threats

Army Recognition


In an interview on the Ekho Moskvy radio station on November 10, 2019, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Lt. Gen. Yuri Grekhov, noted that Russian air-defense systems are being upgraded to focus on UAV threats. In Syria, the Russian military has faced a number of attacks from crude UAVs rigged with explosives, which have caused damage to military installations, including those away from the front lines.


"The air defense missile and gun system Pantsir is currently able to destroy rocket projectiles and drones", Lt.Gen. Grekhov said (Picture source: Army Recognition)

Lt. Gen. Grekhov said, "We do not standstill. Systems capable of countering large-scale application of drones are under development and are fairly efficient." He added: "Our equipment is upgraded to cater for novelties invented by the adversary. The air defense missile and gun system Pantsir is currently able to destroy rocket projectiles and drones." This includes drones that are able to hover, Grekhov noted.

Lt. Gen. Grekhov did not get into specifics on what systems Russia was upgrading to focus on the UAV threat but identified that targeting drones with missiles is not cost-effective. He said, "It is rather costly to destroy drones by missiles. Other means of destruction are available, including radio-electronic warfare systems." Anti-aircraft guns are another weapon that can be used to down an enemy drone.

Indonesian Army Interested in ”Korkut“ SPAAG

Korkut self propelled anti aircraft gun

KORKUT Self-Propelled Low Altitude Air Defense System has received full marks from the Indonesian Armed Forces delegation. KORKUT, which was mentioned by the delegation who performed very high performance compared to its competitors in the challenging tests performed in challenging scenarios, once again filled with its performance.

The Indonesian Armed Forces continues to assess their armored mechanized units for the purchase of self-propelled air defense cannon systems to meet the low-altitude air defense needs. KORKUT stands out among the candidate systems that can meet the needs.





A delegation composed of Indonesian Armed Forces authorities and technical personnel to examine the technical competence of KORKUT system in Ankara came. On 20 September 2018, the delegation was given presentations and demonstrations regarding the capabilities of ASELSAN and the technical features of KORKUT system. Then, during the planned training activities of the Land Forces Command Air Defense School, a successful demonstration of shooting and non-shot tests was carried out in the area of ​​the MSB Konya Karapınar Fire.

The demonstration was a proof that KORKUT had a very effective system against land targets as well as demonstrating its effectiveness against air targets in scenarios including multi-target detection and engagement. An air target and four land targets have been hit successfully in different scenarios, including scenarios showing the system's ability to shoot in motion.





The KORKUT system, which won the admiration and appreciation of the Indonesian delegation, has demonstrated a technical competence and has completed a very important stage in the Indonesian procurement process.

The KORKUT system, which has many outstanding features compared to its peers, is an effective air defense solution against air-to-ground missiles, cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles with 35 mm ATOM® Particle Ammunition developed by ASELSAN.

Vietnam estudia comprar el Pantsir

Vietnam Considers the Purchase of Pantsir Short Range Air Defence

Pantsir SM short range air defence 

The Pantsir anti-aircraft missile system is considered as the brightest candidate for the short range air protection network in Vietnam.

At present, the squadrons of the Vietnam People's Air Defense Forces are equipped with the Strela 10 (G-13 Gopher) and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns ZSU-23-4. High mobility, very good at the time of birth, but so far they have been outdated, difficult to meet the requirements of modern warfare.

In the development trend, the purchase of next-generation low-altitude air-to-air missiles to give it the role of "guerrilla" combat alongside the S-300PMU-1 as Russia is deploying in Syria, or the ability to "head cover" for motorized infantry is an urgent need.

At the time four to five years ago, there was widespread perception that Vietnam might soon be ready to purchase Russian-made Pantsir- S anti-aircraft missile systems.

However, for some reason that has not happened yet.

But now that more conditions have matured, especially when this weapon proved a great tactical skill after the war in Syria, it is probably time for Vietnam to return to the plan order.

If you still believe in Pantsir, Vietnam will "accidentally" get a big advantage thanks to the delay.

With a direct-to-modern orientation, we can skip Pantsir-S1 to go straight to Pantsir-S2, or even the newest generation Pantsir-SM, when they pass the house tests. Russia, which was not completed a few years ago.

According to information from the manufacturer, the Pantsir-SM anti-aircraft artillery unit will use the next-generation 8x8 truck chassis developed by the Kamaz Group.

Pantsir-SM's combat performance is estimated to be 1.5-2 times higher than the Pantsir-S1 standard. This is due to the state-of-the-art Active Phase A (AESA) radar equipment built by the SKB Design Team.



The new radar helped Pantsir-SM's surveillance range increase to 70 km (40 km away), with a target range of up to 40 km (while the previous version was only 20 km).

In addition, the AESA radar has increased the number of surveillance targets at once and the ability to detect low-radar reflective objects such as cruise missiles and flying targets equipped with stealth technology.

The Pantsir-SM developers are also targeting the possibility of destroying long-range artillery shells driven, rocket-launched by ground-based vehicles, and surface water with ultrasonic speed.

Hopefully, in the near future, this state-of-the-art weapon system will be on service in the Vietnamese People's Army to better protect the sky.

Brasil abandona la compra del Pantsir

Brasil abandona antiaérea proyecto de compra de defensa en Rusia

Más caro, e inferiori a sus competidores, el equipo de $ 1 mil millones, casi se compró el gobierno Dilma Rousseff

El gobierno brasileño puso fin a una negociación que ya se ha prolongado durante casi cinco años. Los mandos militares fueron informados de que Brasil no cerrará la adquisición de sistemas de defensa aérea de fabricación rusa.

Con un presupuesto de más de $ 1 mil millones, los sistemas Pantsir-S1 fueron criticados por los militares que prefiere modelos más baratos y más eficientes producidos por otros países.

El Ministerio de Defensa ya había señalado a los rusos que no den lugar las negociaciones, que tenían entre los participantes Odebrecht Defensa como parte interesada.

Aunque se considera "inasumible" por Brasil, la venta fue Trada por los rusos como algo posible. Incluso han amenazado con poner barreras a la entrada de la carne brasileña, si el acuerdo no estaba cerrado.

La semana pasada, se les dijo a los rusos que el programa fue cancelado y el Pantsir-S1 ya no forma parte de las intenciones de compra del Ministerio de Defensa por ser demasiado caro y más allá de los estándares requeridos por las Fuerzas Armadas de Brasil.

En el futuro, cuando el presupuesto para una nueva competencia internacional, Pantsir-S1 no será considerada como una de las opciones.

En 2012 el ejército repartió treinta fabricantes extranjeros un informe a las especificaciones deseadas para el equipo. Entre otros requisitos, las baterías deben ser compatibles con los radares utilizados en el país, encajan en aviones de carga de la Fuerza Aérea Brasileña (FAB) y estar equipados con misiles con un alcance de 30 kilómetros. Pantsir-S1 no cumple con estos requisitos.

Brasil quiere Pantsir pero ya gastó los fondos

Brasil afirma que mantiene las negociaciones para comprar los Pantsir, aunque desvió el uso de los fondos para hacerlo




(defensa.com) En otra vuelta de tuerca surrealista acerca del más reciente manejo de los recortados fondos presupuestarios destinados a equipamiento militar, ahora el Ministerio de Defensa brasileño aclara que tuvo que hacer uso del dinero originalmente destinado a pagar a Rusia un adelanto para la adquisición de los Pantsir S1 para, en el actual esquema de carencias financieras, financiar una operación de intervención del Ejército en el estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, la cual se había prolongado en su duración más allá de lo previsto, tras lo cual, según afirma la dependencia, las negociaciones entre Rusia y Brasil podrán proseguir, aunque la credibilidad y posibilidades comerciales del gobierno brasileño no están en su punto más alto. Quizá se intente obtener un precio menor. (Javier Bonilla)
