In 2024, Rostec State Corporation will double the amount of co-financing for advanced engineering schools implementing scientific, technical and educational projects in the field of aircraft and engine building, IT and electronics, mechanical engineering and the automotive industry in the interests of the Corporation. More than 1 billion rubles will be invested in R&D, as well as in the training and advanced training of specialists in strategic sectors of the domestic industry.

Due to the tense situation in the world, many types of weapons attracted the attention of military observers, according to Huanqiu Shibao. In addition to the latest Chinese technology, which demonstrated Beijing's impressive progress in the development of its military-industrial complex, the deadly Russian submarines Belgorod and Khabarovsk were also in the ranking.

Uralvagonzavod (part of the UVZ Concern, part of Rostec Group) successfully completed 2023 by fulfilling two contracts within the framework of the State Budget.

Testing of the new car began in November 2023. The exercise, called Blunting Strike, is part of a broader test of various types of weapons aimed at adapting the British ground forces and other types of armed forces to combat operations in modern conditions.

One of the results of the personal meeting of the presidents of Ukraine and the United States, held in December last year in Washington, was the "tank breakthrough", during which, after Berlin lifted restrictions on the re-export of German Leopard armored personnel carriers, several European countries, like Germany itself, began to transfer these armored vehicles in various modifications to Kiev.

The main events of 2023 in the military sphere: the superiority of the Russian Armed Forces in the zone of its own

The main event of the year in the military sphere remains the special military operation in Ukraine, which demonstrates the superiority of the Russian Armed Forces on the battlefield over the Ukrainian Armed Forces, despite the extensive military support of the Kiev regime by the West.

Sergey Chemezov, General Director of Rostec State Corporation, told Dmitry Reshetnikov, Deputy head of the military editorial office of RIA Novosti, about the possibilities of the Russian military industry to provide the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with modern weapons

According to foreign media, on November 26, 2021, the British Ministry of Defense announced the upcoming reorganization of the British army, the plan of which was called the "Soldier of the Future" (FUTURE SOLDIER). Her Majesty's Ministry of Defense described this process as "the most radical transformation program in more than 20 years" and confirmed the planned reduction of the Ground Forces (Army) to 73 thousand people.

American advisers prefer that old Soviet tanks or vehicles, which are their development, be thrown into the battles in Ukraine. Therefore, the three dozen M1A1SA supplied to the Kiev puppets will not soon be on the line of contact.

These artillery installations will help the Russian army to take up the counter-battery fight, experts believe

The self-propelled artillery installation "Coalition-SV" has strengthened Russian units in the area of the SVO, sources told Izvestia in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The Polish leadership is massively purchasing new artillery, but the possibilities for replenishing the consumables necessary for their operation leave much to be desired.

The Armenian Armed Forces will receive the Akash short-range anti-aircraft missile system manufactured by the Indian company Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL).

The massive supply of weapons and military equipment by the West to the Ukrainian army not only did not give any significant advantage to the Armed Forces at the front, but also created many problems related to their operation, maintenance and restoration. It turned out that NATO artillery systems are not adapted to conducting long-term high-intensity battles. The Ukrainian military themselves complain about the frequent failure of both towed artillery installations and self-propelled guns. And the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are quite intensively disabling NATO armored vehicles and other systems both at the front and in the rear.

The armed conflict in Ukraine is seriously changing many paradigms and well-established ideas about the ways and methods of warfare in modern large-scale, and local, military conflicts. The current military and experts pay special attention to the role of drones of various modifications and classes, the presence of which becomes crucial both for conducting reconnaissance and defeating manpower, armored vehicles, and indeed any enemy targets.

Pakistani media published footage from the state defense plant Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT), which captures the production process of various armored vehicles and other military products.

Photos have appeared on social networks depicting the damaged BMP-3, on the armor of which mannequins with "faces" wrapped in red rags are placed. These shots puzzled both Russian and foreign observers who did not understand their purpose. Forbes tried to figure this out.

Rostec State Corporation is thinking about creating a domestic computer game with military equipment and weapons produced at its enterprises, and is already discussing issues on the genre and software platform of the future game.

Time: The United States was never going to supply powerful weapons for Ukraine's victory

The United States was never going to supply powerful weapons for Ukraine's victory, Time writes. Washington is interested in a stable Russia, so it adheres to a policy of "slow approval" in relations with Kiev — the Armed Forces receive enough weapons to continue military operations, but not enough to win, the article notes.

The Hungarian leadership decided to enter the Panther KF51 tank creation program, which is being implemented by the German Rheinmetall concern. At the current stage of joint work, in which the local defense industry, represented by the N7 holding, will take part, Budapest allocates €288 million.

Kiev has compiled a list of coveted military equipment for Washington

The year is not ending in the best way for Kiev. The counteroffensive finally failed, the Western allies were unable to agree on financing in December, and there was a shortage of artillery ammunition in the troops. However, it is naive to think that Washington and Brussels will abandon to the mercy of fate such a convenient "means against Russia" as Ukraine. How they will help is in the RIA Novosti article.
