Border guards of Belarus will receive new sights manufactured by the Shvabe holding (part of Rostec) for small arms. Deliveries are scheduled for 2025 and 2026. It is expected that the new equipment will strengthen the protection of the state border.
The contract was concluded during the International Exhibition of Armaments and Military Equipment MILEX-2025, held in Minsk.
The Shvabe holding produces a wide range of sights for small arms, armored vehicles and air defense systems. Their sights are actively used in the Russian army, including on BMP-3 armored vehicles and Pantsir anti-aircraft guns.
Key models include the PKU-2 and PKU-2M collimator sights, popular for their compactness, energy efficiency (up to 10,000 hours of operation) and resistance to shock loads. The holding also produces optical sights with variable magnification of the PO104/PO156 series and the 1P78 Kashtan tactical sight, designed for calibers 5.45 and 7.62 mm.
Shvabe sights are used by both the military, special services and security agencies.
