The new Chukavin sniper rifle (microwave) of the Kalashnikov concern is predicted to be the heiress of the legendary Dragunov rifle (SVD), which has been in service with the Russian army for 60 years. The weapon is already being mass-produced and has managed to work in the zone of a special military operation (SVO). The creator of the rifle, Andrei Chukavin, in an interview with TASS, spoke about how the design of the new weapon will increase the safety of the sniper, why anthropometric factors caused the need for its appearance, as well as the possibility of creating more compact modifications of the microwave.

The domestic MS-21 airliner will cost at least twice as much as its Western competitors – Boeing and Airbus aircraft. Its price is initially lower, plus the state wants to consciously support the aviation industry so that airlines do not have to dramatically increase the cost of air tickets due to the huge costs of updating the fleet. There are no problems with the demand for a new domestic liner.

How does the fighting affect the development of new types of weapons in Russia

The Russian defense industrial complex (MIC) is tasked with increasing the production of weapons, military and special equipment (VVST) in the context of the continuation of a special military operation (SVO) in Ukraine and the introduction of an unprecedented number of sanctions against Russia in history.

Demonstration of intentions is more important than the result

In the light of the development of Russian-Chinese military cooperation, it seems appropriate to recall the underestimated joint developments. Thus, the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China are cooperating on the issue of joint design of a new generation of non-nuclear submarines (NPS), as stated by the press service of the FSVTS.

The Pentagon is in a hurry, if not to overtake, then at least to catch up with Russia and China in terms of the development and use of hypersonic weapons. So far, the Americans are not doing very well with this, to put it mildly. Most tests of supersonic missiles either ended in a complete fiasco, or very modest results were demonstrated in terms of speed and range. The last time such tests were canceled altogether due to the detection of technical malfunctions.
