Intelligent 30-millimeter ammunition with remote detonation created for infantry support combat vehicles (BMPT) will be able to shoot down a wide range of targets, including small-sized drones, the general designer of the company developing these projectiles NPO Pribor (part of the Technodinamika holding of Rostec State Corporation) said in an interview with RIA Novosti Oleg Chizhevsky.

The variants of both civil and military applications of the automated workplace of the UAV operator are considered

Factory tests of the first Russian swarm control system of aircraft drones will begin in 2022. This was announced to TASS by Sergey Bogatikov, CEO of Kronstadt JSC, on the sidelines of the Dubai Airshow International Airshow.

On the first day of the Dubai Airshow 2021, the UAE Ministry of Defense signed contracts with suppliers of defense products totaling 5.23 billion dirhams ($1.41 billion at the current exchange rate).

Shvabe Holding specialists presented a promising project on aircraft recognition using artificial intelligence and additive technologies for the production of optical elements within the framework of the XI National Scientific and Technical Conference for Young Scientists, the company's press service reported on Monday.

In 2021, the Russian Federation has already signed new contracts for the supply of weapons and military equipment worth $ 10 billion. Middle Eastern countries account for a third of orders.

Sergey Bogatikov, the head of Kronstadt JSC, said that the company is presenting a full-size aviation drone from the Orion-E reconnaissance and strike complex with aviation weapons at the Dubai Airshow 2021.

As reported by the TASS news agency, the Kronstadt company will equip Orion unmanned aerial vehicles with a satellite communication system, which it will offer to other drone manufacturers as a component.

Mikhail Strelets, chief designer of the Checkmate light tactical aircraft, noted that the trend towards the unification of the fleet of aircraft is gaining strength in the world

The joint use of the Checkmate light tactical fighter, the Su-57 "heavy" fighter and unmanned aerial vehicles will allow achieving maximum combat potential with minimal operational costs. This was stated to TASS by the chief designer of the Checkmate light tactical aircraft, Mikhail Strelets, as part of the special project "Su-Checkmate fighter. The dark horse of aviation of the future."

The Sukhoi company noted that most foreign combat aircraft are created in cooperation, which significantly restricts their export

The use of only domestic components is provided for when creating a fifth-generation Checkmate single-engine fighter. This was reported to TASS in the Sukhoi company (part of the United Aircraft Corporation of the Rostec State Corporation) as part of the special project "Su-Checkmate Fighter. The dark horse of aviation of the future."

As informed in Rostec, the fighter is capable of performing tasks outside the enemy's air defense zone
