Russian will produce weapons in Jordan
Russia and Jordan opened a joint venture for the production of hand-held antitank grenade launchers RPG-32.
Recently, Jordan's King Abdullah II Ibn Hussein and head Sergei Chemezov Rostec opened a joint venture for the production of hand-held antitank grenade launchers RPG-32 "Nashshab" (in Russian - crossbow). The event is unique in that the company is in the territory of Jordan, 20 km from Amman - the capital of this country
Jordan is known for the fact that its territory is one of the new wonders of the world - the ancient city of Petra. And, of course, the business card of Jordan, attracts tourists from around the world - the Dead Sea. Now Jordan is famous in professional circles, also high-tech military production.
The new facility is so serious and secret, even shooting the official event was banned. But we know that the king tried to fire a rpgeshki and hit a target at a distance of 500 meters. After that shared his impressions: "It's great, excellent and very accurate weapon!»
The design capacity of the plant will amount to 60 thousand. Rounds per year. Components RPG will be released on the territory of the Kingdom, and in Russian.
Chemezov said that "Rostec" in this case has moved from direct deliveries of finished products to the transfer of technology in its production. This is a very profitable project, as the company also had an opportunity to promote development in third countries neighboring Jordan.
"Nashshab" is based on Russian RPG-26 and RPG-27. Fully fitted out a grenade launcher weighs 10 kg (launcher with a sight - 3 kg, the missile - 7 kg). It is equipped with a removable telescopic sight. The range of the RPG-32 is from 160 to 700 m. The missiles are equipped with thermobaric or tandem warheads.
The device is capable of operating at temperatures from -50 to +50 ° C; neither water nor sand he was not afraid. Grenade for firing grenades caliber 72 and 105 millimeters and a weapon reusable. It consists of two parts: the starting device reusable and disposable sets multikalibernyh cartridges.
Almost all of the equipment up to the shelves, brought from Russia. The installation and commissioning of production made by experts from the NGO "Basalt" - the legendary Russian manufacturer of rocket-propelled grenades.
Today, Jordan is in a difficult geopolitical situation, it is surrounded by countries such as Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Israel with the Palestinian Authority. Taking into account the processes that are taking place in the Middle East, a hundred thousand Jordanian army will not interfere with high-tech Russian grenade launchers that can destroy almost any modern armored vehicles.
It is noteworthy that neither the revolution in Egypt, or the overthrow of Gaddafi, or the civil war in Syria, nor the stress state of Lebanon has not touched Jordan. Many attribute this to the competent policy of the King, who always finds a compromise. Well, loyal and well-trained army, of course.
But for Russia, in addition to the realization of their ambitions in the Middle East, it is first of all beneficial cooperation in economic terms. As of May 2013, our country has put Jordan military equipment and weapons worth about 40 million dollars. It is obvious that after the opening of the military predpriyatiyaeta figure will increase.
