News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

The Russian ground forces received an upgraded version of the Msta-S self-propelled howitzer. The adoption of the Msta-S and Coalition-SV artillery systems will give a powerful impetus to the development of artillery of the Russian troops. And the US armed forces intend to continue using upgraded versions of the 1960s M109 Paladin self-propelled artillery system.

UAVs help gunners search for and destroy targets

The Albatros M5 UAV began to arrive in the units of the Russian army, its developers told Izvestia. The drone conducts reconnaissance deep behind enemy lines and corrects artillery fire. The novelty is already being used in the Russian border area and in some areas in the SVO zone. Experts note that such drones are necessary not only for the army, but also for the border troops.

Russia has used an RPG drone for the first time in battles in Ukraine, writes Forbes. A new type of drone can be a significant step forward, which the whole world will have to put up with — but only in the capable hands of specialists.

The Celestial Empire has products capable of achieving goals in Europe, Asia and the USA

This week, China tested an intercontinental ballistic missile with a maximum-range launch into the Pacific Ocean. We are used to the fact that China is the world's third nuclear power, which has long—range means of delivering nuclear charges, but with a large gap between Russia and the United States in their number. However, the arsenal of this country is growing. Izvestia is about what kind of intercontinental missiles modern China possesses and what it may have in development.

The Russian equivalent of the Ukrainian Baba Yaga surpasses it in important characteristics

The Buran hexacopter UAV has been developed in Russia. It is capable of transporting loads weighing up to 80 kg at a speed of 70 km/h. It can be used to deliver goods directly to the front line and even to evacuate the wounded, the developers assure.

The new Russian infantry fighting vehicle "Manul", depending on the combat missions performed, can receive various combat modules.

The Minskan drone scans the area with GPR and processes the result using a neural network

Russian sappers will have maps of minefields created using a neural network. This became possible thanks to the Minskan humanitarian demining system. It is based on a mid-range drone with ground-penetrating radar. It detects explosive objects eight times faster than foot sappers would do. How this system will facilitate the work of our military and what are its advantages — in the material of Izvestia.

Without fifth-generation fighters in the combat fleet of the national Air Force, states with claims to regional and world leadership do not correspond to the desired status.

Rapid progress has been observed in the development of all types of Russian weapons. Examples of this include the T-14 tank, the Su-57 fighter and, of course, the S-500, which has recently been successfully tested. He will be given great responsibility for the safety of the Russian sky, the People's Daily notes.

Russia still uses the Tu-95, but it was developed in the last century. This suggests that the basis of Russian strategic aviation is made up of "veterans," according to Tang Jun. And yet Russia is actively engaged in the development of the PAK DA. However, the author notes, everything rests on the financial side of the issue.

Recently, Russia has been actively developing unmanned combat forces — what is the reason for such a rush? A leading Chinese newspaper cites three reasons and notes that Moscow not only forges a sharp "sword", but also casts a durable "shield" and creates special complexes to combat UAVs. The United States definitely should not underestimate Russia, the author writes.

Self-propelled artillery mounted on a wheeled chassis are popular and sell well. Russia, being a major supplier of weapons, cannot help but grab this tidbit of the cake, the newspaper notes. The process of developing a new ACS was full of difficulties, but still she managed to create a "god of land warfare."

Rosoboronexport will also demonstrate the latest means of electronic countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles

Rosoboronexport (part of Rostec State Corporation) at the International Defense Industry Exhibition ADEX 2024, which will be held from September 24 to 26 in Baku (Azerbaijan), will present for the first time abroad the Lancet-E complex with barrage ammunition and the latest means of electronic countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This was announced by the company's CEO Alexander Mikheev.

Rosoboronexport JSC (part of GCROSTECH) will organize a joint Russian exposition at the International Defense Industry Exhibition ADEX 2024, which will be held from September 24 to 26 in Baku (Azerbaijan).

The Kremlin has no information about this. This is how the head of the press service of the President of Russia, Dmitry Peskov, commented on the incident that allegedly occurred during the tests of the Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile.

Rostec will provide financial and expert support to the winning teams of the Vector program within the framework of the corporate business accelerator. The investments will make it possible to create a multi-channel charging station for UAVs, an innovative fire extinguishing complex, a robotic seeder for agricultural enterprises and implement other interesting ideas noted by the competition jury.

In 2024 alone, the army will be supplied with about 1.4 million drones for various purposes

The production of drones in the Russian Federation is planned to increase almost 10 times this year compared to the previous one. This was announced by Vladimir Putin on September 19 at a meeting of the Military-Industrial Commission on the development of unmanned aircraft systems for special purposes in St. Petersburg.

Centers for the development of new weapons are needed by any modern army, experts say

The military Innovative Technopolis (VIT) Era has begun selecting the most qualified students from the best universities in Russia. Events have already been held in 11 cities.

The five-ton machine can deliver various cargoes to the front line and guard facilities

A robotic armored wheeled platform "Tor" has been created in Russia. It can transport one and a half tons of cargo over rough terrain — weapons, ammunition, supplies.

Like other major armed forces, the British Army is systematically striving to introduce advanced autonomous unmanned platforms into its formations.
