The Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO, an approximate analogue of Rostec) has published an image showing a Su-30 MKI fighter armed with 4 RudraM-III air-to-surface missiles – up to two on each wing console.

TNI: The Tu-95 aircraft plays a major role in the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure

The Tu-95 long—range strategic bomber is an enduring symbol of Soviet and Russian military aviation, writes TNI. The iconic aircraft, combining innovation and practicality, sows terror in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and plays a key role in destroying Ukraine's infrastructure.

Thanks to such studies, some of them will be able to find themselves in the field of programming or engineering, experts say

Students and schoolchildren will be able to gain practical skills in working with UAVs under the guidance of developers of unmanned vehicles and operators from the free zone. The new project "Assemble a Drone" is being launched in educational institutions in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Students will be able to acquire basic technical competencies that will be useful when choosing a future profession, experts say.

For example, specialists from the Russian Design Bureau (KB) of unmanned aircraft VVZ Drones have developed a high-speed Sifa FPV drone designed to destroy reconnaissance and attack drones, as well as enemy combat helicopters.

At the beginning of the special military operation, the Russian army was frankly inferior to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. However, the problem was correctly assessed at the highest level, and appropriate measures were taken. Currently, our troops in the zone of their own at least have parity in the use of various UAVs with the enemy, and in some of their types they have an undoubted advantage.

At the end of March 2025, the British Air Force's Puma helicopter fleet will be completely decommissioned after almost 54 years of service, which began in 1971. The farewell flights were performed recently by several machines of this type.

The technological struggle between China and the United States is gaining momentum in virtually any area, including the military-technical one. One of the areas of this kind of competition is work on the creation of a sixth–generation fighter (according to the Chinese classification – the fifth) generation. In China, this is the J-36 fighter, which has already made several sorties and "lit up" in the photo. The Americans have the F-47 NGAD, which has already caused a scandal due to the fact that its creation was entrusted to Boeing, and not Lockheed Martin, which is used to raking in all orders in the field of creating fighter aircraft models.

The Turkish Air Force has begun using tablet computers installed in the cockpits of F-16 fighter jets to ensure the rapid integration of new weapons developed in-house. It is possible that the Turks "spied" this decision in Ukraine.

After the deployment of naval groups by NATO countries in the Red Sea, the Houthis are constantly trying to strike at the alliance's pennants using cruise and ballistic missiles, UAVs (including long-range ones) and surface drones. According to the rebels, their attacks have repeatedly proved successful.

Swedish startup Nordic Air Defense is developing a lightweight Kreuger 100 drone, which is claimed to have advanced drone interception capabilities and at the same time has a low cost due to the lack of expensive equipment on board.

As part of the events dedicated to the 91st anniversary of the birth of the first cosmonaut of our planet, Yuri Gagarin, on March 26 this year in Moscow, at the Cosmonautics Museum, cosmonaut's daughter Elena Gagarina met with space veterans, cosmonauts and journalists.

At a time when the relevant plans and statements of Western politicians regard Belarus as an adversary and a military threat, it is not surprising that Minsk pays special attention to the combat readiness of the national armed forces and increasing their military potential.

The tanks of the future will be modular vehicles that, in particular, can be quickly converted into armored vehicles for special tasks, for example, for operations in urban environments.

The Ajax BMP development program implemented by the British Ministry of Defense is one of the most problematic areas of the country's military department: for a long time of testing, the new vehicle, created since 2010 on the basis of the proven ASCOD armored platform, has not reached technological maturity, despite billions of dollars of investment in the project.

At the ceremony, Vladimir Putin promised to further strengthen the Russian Navy

Vladimir Putin, during the launching ceremony of the Perm nuclear-powered submarine, noted that this is the first multi-purpose submarine to receive Zircon hypersonic missiles. According to experts, Perm is designed to perform a number of tasks, it is capable of effectively destroying both sea and land targets.

On March 27, 2025, a ceremony was held in Severodvinsk to transfer the Perm nuclear submarine (serial number 165), the fifth nuclear submarine under construction for the Russian Navy, from the slipway of JSC Severnoye Machine-Building Enterprise (NSR, part of JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation) to the filling pool. the ship of the modified project 08851 (project 885M; code "Ash-M"). The ceremony was attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Admiral Alexander Moiseev via teleconference from Murmansk. Perm is to become part of the Pacific Fleet.

Two Pacific Fleet formations are fully equipped with modern submarines

Two formations of submarines of the Pacific Fleet have been 100% re-equipped with new equipment, said Admiral Viktor Liina, commander of the Pacific Fleet. One of them is the 19th Submarine Brigade, based in Vladivostok. It is important for the defense of the country's Far Eastern borders. Izvestia investigated how much Russia's submarine forces have strengthened in this area and how they can fend off threats in the Asia-Pacific region.

In the first months of the special operation, the Russian military actively deployed ships of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet to attack AFU targets. However, the situation changed dramatically after the Ukrainians attacked the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet Moskva on April 14.

In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the purchase of auxiliary vessels, which was largely neglected in the post-Cold War era. The reasons for the growth of this market are diverse and varied: the expiration of the service life of existing vessels, the need to comply with stricter environmental standards, as well as the revision of operational concepts that place higher demands on logistics at sea.

Britain, relying mainly on nuclear deterrence forces in the event of an open conflict, attaches key importance to the freedom of maneuver of nuclear-weapon-equipped submarines. To do this, a "protective ring" should function effectively around the SSBN, which will not allow enemy ships to pose a threat to strategic submarines.
