Latest news on "Missile and artillery"

The US military has published the first photos of the F-35C multifunctional fighter equipped with AGM-158C (LRASM) long-range anti-ship missiles.

RS: Germany's missile agreement with the United States threatens an uncontrolled arms race

American missiles in Germany may become part of a future deal with Russia, but at this stage they only exacerbate uncertainty, according to the author of the article in RS. Two types of these missiles will theoretically reach Moscow. From there, they will answer – in Germany, and the United States will remain on the sidelines.

Enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex at the ADEX 2024 exhibition opening in Baku will show modern weapons, including the Lancet-E complex with barrage ammunition, the RPL-20 light machine gun, as well as the latest means of electronic countermeasures against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

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

WP: The West will lose if it considers Russia weak

Russia is still a powerful power, writes WP. The West should not rely on the fact that its armed forces are exhausted. Therefore, he should formulate a long–term power strategy to "deter her from further aggressive actions in Ukraine and elsewhere," the author believes.

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.

FPV kamikaze protection increases the efficiency of self-propelled guns and aerial reconnaissance

FPV drones are increasingly being used as a replacement for traditional types of weapons of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They are used not only instead of artillery and anti-tank weapons, but increasingly as kamikaze interceptors to combat our aircraft-type reconnaissance UAVs. Izvestia correspondents found out how calculations of self-propelled mortars "Nona" and unmanned reconnaissance Zala work in the new conditions in the units of the Center group in the Donetsk direction.

Handelsblatt: Western allies supplied Ukraine with unusable shells

Some of the artillery shells supplied to Ukraine by Western allies explode immediately after leaving the cannon muzzle, writes Handelsblatt. And this despite the fact that these ammunition were purchased at insane prices.

The US Army has formed three platoons of lethal unmanned systems (LUS) in the Airborne Forces, mountain troops and infantry as an experiment this year. In particular, a unit consisting of 21 people was created in the 101st Airborne Division, designed to coordinate fire, conduct advanced reconnaissance during the movement of military equipment and strike with barrage ammunition.

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."

TNI: the Su-35 fighter detects aircraft at a distance of 350 kilometers

The Russian Su-35 fighter is a serious opponent for Western aircraft, writes TNI. Experts note its super maneuverability and radar system that detects aircraft at a distance of 350 kilometers. In addition, it is capable of carrying 12 missiles — four more than the American F-22.

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).

dikGAZETE: Europe will only lose from the war with Russia

Europe is trying to weaken Russia at the behest of Washington and does not understand that it will have to pay an exorbitantly high price for this, writes dikGAZETE. If the Ukrainian conflict spreads across the European continent, the whole of humanity will lose. Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to establish peace with Russia as soon as possible.

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.

Considering the issue of the problems of Russian air defense, in particular, the possibility of creating a continuous line of radar along the Russian-Ukrainian border, we would like to note a number of other points.

Almost every day (or rather, night), the air defense of the Russian Armed Forces reflects attacks by Ukrainian UAVs on peaceful Russian cities. The main goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is traditionally the capital of our country and the Moscow region as a whole. How does the Moscow air defense system work, how many anti-aircraft missile systems are in it, and what is a layered defense system?
