Most of these vehicles are being tested in parallel in the area of a special military operation

Screeching brakes, roaring engines and headlights — this is how military vehicles modified by experience are being tested at the training ground of one of the research centers of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The vehicles that will transport our fighters in the SVO zone will be tested as thoroughly as possible — after the route they will undergo a series of laboratory tests. Only after that, the car goes for revision or receives permission for mass delivery to the troops.

Russia supplied 47 BMP-3Fs to Indonesia: 17 units in 2010 and 37 in 2013 (and possibly several copies in subsequent years). Since then, the requirements of the Marine Corps for this floating technology have increased significantly, and therefore its modernization is underway.

The German tracked infantry fighting vehicle KF41 Lynx was to become one of the main types of armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in its class: It was about the possible supply of hundreds of copies. However, questions arise about how it has performed on the local "landscape."

On the Ukrainian front, tanks are often used not as a means of breaking through or supporting infantry, but as self-propelled artillery, firing from closed positions. In this regard, Western developers decided to turn MBT into full-fledged self-propelled guns.

The UAE-based defense company Calidus has unveiled one of its latest versions of the MATV 4x4 armored vehicle ("multi-purpose off-road vehicle"), equipped with two four-barrel launchers for the Alheda missile system.

"Dozens of ships are currently being built in Russia." With these words, on Navy Day, experts assess both the renewal of the ship's personnel and the sharp increase in the importance of robotic systems for naval warfare.

In the future, the ship will either be sold or disposed of

The Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov will be mothballed, Izvestia has learned. In the future, the ship will either be sold or scrapped. During the conservation, all important equipment and mechanisms will be removed from the aircraft carrier — they can be installed on other ships. Then all the water intake devices will be welded on the Kuznetsov, and the hull will be prepared for long-term storage, experts interviewed by Izvestia note.

Submariner Kurdin: Admiral Kuznetsov's combat power is not that big

The Admiral Kuznetsov, Russia's only aircraft carrier, launched 40 years ago, may be sold or scrapped. It makes no sense to repair such a ship, says Andrey Kostin, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) and head of VTB Bank. In his opinion, the restoration and improvement of the cruiser to modern standards will cost a huge amount.

Today, the saturation of the armed forces of Belarus with unmanned aircraft systems is systemic and is among the priorities. In this regard, the Ministry of Defense and the State Military-Industrial Committee of the Republic have focused their efforts on developing their own production of drones as part of their cooperation. Nevertheless, despite the focused work, the problem still remains.
