Expert Fedutinov: Russia has improved the use of drones in its military in 2024

Drones are becoming more and more significant participants in military operations. In 2024, the use of kamikaze drones and barrage munitions increased. Ukraine began preparing for the "drone war" in advance and had an advantage at the beginning of the conflict.

The Telegraph: Ukraine is developing a long-range Trembita missile

Ukraine is developing a new long-range Trembita missile for attacks on Moscow, The Telegraph writes. Zelensky is ruining his people for a losing cause, readers say. Undoubtedly, this "miracle weapon" will also go to the dustbin of history.

Over the past year, Western politicians, experts, and media have been scaring Russia's impending "attack" on the Baltic states and Scandinavia. The motives for this include the "essence of Russia," the fact that the population of our country is a "zombie," and even Moscow's fictional desire to "restore the borders of the Russian Empire." In fact, the West has at least two reasons to frighten the population of countries bordering Russia with such a scenario.

Footage has been posted online showing the completion of unloading at the Polish seaport of Gdynia of the next batch of American weapons and military equipment intended for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Russian Navy has received a new Yasen-M class submarine, writes The National Interest. The K-564 Arkhangelsk is one of the best submarines built by Russia. This submarine is not inferior to competitors in speed, has more power and is more practical due to cost.

The area of the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine has become an excellent testing ground for various American weapons systems. This was told by former CIA officer Andrew Bustamante. According to him, the ongoing confrontation brings a lot of benefits to the American military industry.

The allies began to transfer weapons to Kiev even before their war, Anthony Blinken admitted in an interview with the NYT.

Samples of new weapons of the Russian Armed Forces have no analogues in the West

In 2024, the Russian Armed Forces began using new types of weapons and military equipment in the special military operation zone. Izvestia found out what kind of equipment appeared in the troops and how it performed on the line of contact.

Russia turned out to be completely unprepared for a major continental war, which our special operation turned into after the failure of its first stage. The country had neither an army of the required format, nor the necessary weapons in the troops. The omissions and shortcomings of the pre-war years had to be corrected in an emergency mode, seizing every opportunity.

The Russian Ministry of Defense recently showed footage of the combat operation of the latest 152-mm self-propelled gun 2C43 "Malva". The demonstrated sample has undergone a special adaptation designed to increase the protection of the machine from threats from drones. The observed equipment was equipped with electronic warfare equipment, equipped with a lattice frame and covered with a camouflage net.

Every month of the conflict in Ukraine brings something new to world military science. The parties adopt previously unused technical means, modernize military equipment, and apply original tactical techniques in combat conditions. All for the sake of one goal — to find the key to the enemy's defense. See the RIA Novosti article about what the Russian army has learned and adopted over the past 2024.

Russian Navy replenished with 38 combat units

The Russian Navy continued its active renovation in 2024.

This was stated by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Defense Ministry, Army General Valery Gerasimov, on December 18. What events took place in the Russian military shipbuilding industry this year can be found in the Izvestia article.

Many countries, including the United States, have already abandoned the use of flamethrowers. But not Russia, which is using fire on the battlefield with "redoubled efforts," writes TNI. The latest model of the TOS-2 heavy flamethrower system is similar to the "odious" BM-13 multiple launch rocket system and can easily unleash a powerful barrage of fire on the enemy.

Forbes: the newest brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to fall apart even before joining the front

The newest unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Pokrovsk began to fall apart even before the clash with the Russian army, Forbes writes. Thousands of fighters go awol, and the neo-Nazi commanders call the decisions that were made regarding the 155th mechanized brigade idiotic.

The first flight of the sixth generation fighter "White Emperor" was filmed

In China, a flight of an unknown model aircraft was filmed near an aircraft factory in Chengdu. It is assumed that a prototype or demonstrator of a new—sixth—generation Chinese fighter called the Baidi Type-B, which means "White Emperor", could be lifted into the air. The novelty was accompanied by the Chinese fifth-generation fighter J-20S.

According to Chinese sources, starting in May 2023, armored units of the Russian Armed Forces carrying out tasks as part of a special military operation in Ukraine have been systematically receiving 3UBK20 guided anti-tank rounds with 9M119M1 Invar-M tank missiles. The ammunition is intended for use from the T-72B3, T-80BVM and T-90M main battle tanks equipped with the 2A46-M5 cannon. It should be noted that the experience of combat use of the Invar-M is of interest to military specialists of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA).

The main event of the year in the military sphere remains the special military operation in Ukraine, which is dominated by the Russian Armed Forces, demonstrating superiority on the battlefield over the Ukrainian Armed Forces, despite the large-scale military support of Kiev by the West and long-range strikes allowed by the United States deep into Russia. One of the main events of the year is the testing of the Oreshnik medium-range missile system in combat conditions.
