Russian paratroopers will soon be armed with a new parachute system that allows them to land with full gear and additional cargo. According to the Ministry of Defense, the Junker-O parachute system has completed tests.

According to the military department, the new parachute system allows a soldier to land with a full load and an additional 50 kg of cargo. During the tests, the system confirmed its high performance and will soon enter service with the Airborne Forces.

The Junker-O system, made on the basis of a wing-type parachute with a load capacity from 90 to 225 kg, has passed the necessary tests and has shown high performance

- the message says.

Tests of a new parachute system being created for Russian paratroopers were reported back in 2021. In the spring of that year, a group of Russian servicemen made a landing from a height of 6 thousand meters. During the landing, special equipment developed within the framework of the Junker-O ROC was used, including a special-purpose parachute system "Steyer" and a set of oxygen equipment "OXY Height". All equipment of domestic production allows you to jump at an aircraft speed of up to 350 kilometers per hour from heights from 700 meters to 10 kilometers.

In general, several parachute systems were developed within the framework of the Junker-O ROC, including the Junker-PPSS ("Dog's suspended Parachute System"). It allows you to land a service dog weighing up to 45 kg with a dog handler from a height of up to 4 km. The tests have shown that the dog behaves quite adequately in the new suspension system.
