Grenade "Boer" - a new word in the manufacture of military equipment.It was developed and adopted in 2014, having already established itself with the best hand."Boer" is used for the destruction of soft-skinned technology and manpower of the enemy, and its relatively low weight in combat is a huge advantage.
History and production
develop a new rocket-propelled grenade carried Instrument Design Bureau in Tula.The model went to a German Panzerfaust grenade launcher and the Russian infantry flame-thrower "Bumblebee".
In the 80-ies Design Bureau.Academician AG Shipunova developed 93-mm Complex "Bumblebee."Besides fighting flamethrower experts also created tools for target practice to the RPG.
jet flame thrower "Bumblebee" has undergone substantial modernization, the aim of which was to expand capacity weapons, which must deal with the modern technical equipment of the enemy more effectively.On the basis of "Bumblebee" has developed a new version - the flamethrower increased capacity and range-M RPO PDM-A, and simpler - "Bee-M."
Later this model was the basis for developing a new compact granatomёtnogo complex.It was first demonstrated to the public during the exhibition INTERPOLITEX.It happened in the autumn of 2013.High scores Russian specialists prompted the developer to demonstrate a new weapon in the exhibition EUROSATORY-2014, which took place in Paris.Visitors were offered a unique development of Russian designers - rocket launcher "Boer".
Currently, the production of this weapon is adjusted at the Tula munitions factory.Belarusian holding "White" has been designed and created for the new grenade launcher a few special types of sights: day, night and thermal vision.
device
Grenade "Boer" is composed of two main parts:
- rocket motor casing made of fiberglass;
- descender ammunition, including the trigger, the pistol grip, hand guard, forearm with a ribbed structure, bracket for mounting scopes and rangefinders.
to transfer buildings rocket engines, a special bag, backpack, designed for three buildings.Sam grenade transported using special straps attached to the body.
advantages of the complex
- may use different types of shots;
- fit different types of sights, they vary depending on the conditions;
- munitions are highly effective, despite the relatively small weight and size;
- grenade "Boer", the characteristics of which do not require a large space to fire, can be used even in small spaces, with an area of 30 cubic meters;
- is safe to handle and reliable in battle;
- designed for firing from the provisions of kneeling, lying down, standing up;
- easy to carry, can be used in aviadesantirovanii.
unprecedented light weight makes the "Boer" is simply irreplaceable.It can be used fighters of special purpose units, sabotage and reconnaissance groups.The calculation of this grenade launcher consists of only one person.Recharge procedure takes a few seconds and is carried out by a single soldier.
Shells
Grenade "Boer" can use high-explosive and thermobaric grenades.Caliber shells - 62 mm.In order to recharge the complex installation must be placed in a new building of the engine, pulling out pre-empty shell.
Thermobaric grenades characterized by the creation of extreme temperatures in a certain extent, the consequence of which is the powerful blast.This allows you to cause significant destruction of enemy infantry, destroy fortifications, incapacitate even lightly armored vehicles.
Performance characteristics
Grenade "Boer" TTX which have several unique features, immediately after the appearance has been the subject of increased attention of professionals.The maximum firing range of lethal weapons is 950 meters, and the minimum distance at which you can hit the target - 25 meters.When using the optical sight armed "Boer" fighter is able to conduct aimed fire from a distance of up to 650 meters.Starting device with an optical sight has a weight of up to 1.5 kg.
Grenade "Boer" a thermobaric warhead can be used to fight in an ambient temperature range from -40 to + 60 ° C.The trigger device is at least five hundred shots.It has been established that the grenade "Boer" has the following grouping of shots at a distance of two hundred meters:
- height deviation (BB) - ≤ 0,5;
- deviation to the side (Wb) - ≤ 0,5.
"Boer" armed
Currently testing grenade "Boer" was successfully completed.This weapon proved to be quite effective, so it was decided to put it into service of the Russian Federation Armed Forces.Use its affiliated companies for various purposes, especially troops, special forces, infantry.
Competitor
First of all, it is worth noting that the grenade "Boer" is unique in its kind.Only his closest competitor - German Panzerfaust 3. This anti-tank grenade launcher recharged approximately the same pattern that is used to recharge the complex "Boer".Both tools use the same ammunition and have equal caliber.In principle, all this similarity between them ends.
