Russia has created a laser system that creates virtual reality to simulate combat conditions

Project progress

2023: Preparation for state tests

On April 11, 2023, it became known that state tests of the Strett laser polygon system, which creates virtual reality to simulate combat conditions, were delayed by about three months - until mid-summer. This was reported by a TASS source in the military-industrial complex. According to him, the delay is associated with the need to conduct type tests.

In March 2023, TASS, citing a source in the military-industrial complex, reported that state tests of the Strett laser system could begin in April 2023.

The Ministry of Defense previously planned to equip the Mulino landfill in the Nizhny Novgorod region with a similar production system for the German concern Rheinmetall. The delivery failed due to sanctions imposed against Russia.^[1]

2019: System creation begins

The development of the Strett system began in 2019, when the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation placed a tender worth 756 million rubles for the development of this system on the public procurement website and then signed a contract for its development. Then it was not reported which Russian company is engaged in these works. According to the tender documentation, development work (ROC) on the Stretta system was supposed to be completed in November 2021.

In 2019, it was reported that laser simulators and impact sensors would soon be developed for all samples of small arms and armored vehicles. This kind of development is an important element for the training of the Russian military, which will help them feel more confident in the real war zone. Also, within the framework of the ROC, software will be created that will allow you to analyze in detail the actions of the military and their errors during training at the laser training ground.
