New armored vehicles testing: Armata's platform vehicles, T-72B3M with APS etc.

BTW 132 Armata-based vehicles T-14 and T-15 are already contracted.

Hypersonic "Su": the Russian military will receive a compact missile

https://twitter.com/GuyPlopsky/status/1 ... 4344178696 ----->
1/ Izvestia reports that an air-launched #hypersonic missile is being developed by KTRV under OKR "Lichinka-MD." MD is likely an acronym for "short range." Article speculates that its an anti-ship missile & will likely equip the #Su57 among other aircraft.
https://iz.ru/1231901/anton-lavrov-alek ... uiu-raketu

2/ The missile will reportedly use the "Izdeliye 70" engine developed by TMKB Soyuz (part of KTRV). Izdeliye 70 was also mentioned in an Izvestia article from February discussing a hypersonic missile being developed by KTRV under OKR "Gremlin."

3/ Izvestia now notes that OKR "Gremlin" commenced in 2012. Its unclear how/if Gremlin is related to Lichinka-MD. Izvestia previously mentioned that documents pertaining to Gremlin included mention of a new seeker that suggests an anti-ship capability.

4/ Lastly, in February, RIA Novosti reported that "functional full-size mock-ups" of an unspecified hypersonic missile were tested on the Su-57

5/5 However, a RIA Novosti source suggested that this hypersonic missile has a different role. If this missile is Lichinka-MD, then Lichinka-MD is likely different from Gremlin (the latter possibly being anti-ship), but both powered by Izdeliye 70.

Unconfirmed reports that Russia might have conducted a Kinetic ASAT test against a real satellite Kosmos-1408 (1982-092A) in the last day.

There are reports, that Russia has conducted an Anti-satellite (#ASAT) weapons test. Target was an old Soviet Tselina-D SIGINT satellite called Kosmos-1408 (1982-092A) launched in 1982, which has been dead for decades. 14 debris objects have been tracked.

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/4 ... it-reports

If Russia did indeed deliberately destroy Kosmos-1408 in an ASAT test, it would only further underscore how real this threat is now and how it will only become more of an issue as time goes on. Earlier this month, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that President Vladimir Putin had ordered the development of new air and missile defense system known as the S-550.

It is unclear what this S-550 system might be. A Soviet-era design with that same nomenclature, which never came to fruition, was intended to be used against intercontinental ballistic missiles, possibly in the midcourse portions of their flights when they are flying very fast and at extremely high altitudes in space. Any such missile-defense interceptor would inherently have potential as an ASAT weapon, and Russian state media reports have now indicated this new S-550 is expected to be dual-purpose.

Su-75 CheckMate Single Engined Stealth Fighter in Dubai Airshow

Post by Avinandan »

https://www.defenseworld.net/news/30712 ... ai_Airshow

Excerpt
Russia will present a mock-up of the 'Checkmate' Light Stealth Fighter along with the Orion surveillance drone at the upcoming Dubai Airshow.

Denis Manturov, Russian Minister of Industry and Trade told Defense Ministry-owned TV channel tvzvezda.ru that the country will put on a static display of the prototype of Checkmate jet at the event, and showcase Orion UAV, Ka-226T and Mi-171A2 helicopters.

...

Russia considers countries of Africa, India and Vietnam as potential customers for the fifth-generation Checkmate single-engine fighter. It comes with an attractive price tag of around $25-30 million. As per Russian media reports, there will be further reduction in the jet’s cost after unification with the Su-35s and Su-57s.

Developed by Sukhoi, the Checkmate is capable of traveling up to 3,000 km, can reach Mach 2 speeds and can carry 7400 kg of combat load. It will be able to simultaneously attack up to six air, sea and ground targets, including attack drones and foreign fifth-generation aircraft.

Checkmate may be equipped with the Second Stage Izdeliye 30 (Item 30) engine that will soon power all Sukhoi Su-57 stealth jets, the top official added.

Russian submarine hits UK warship’s sonar during chase in North Atlantic
A Russian submarine collided with a British warship’s sonar during a chase in the Arctic Circle.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has confirmed for the first time that the crash took place with the Royal Navy ship in late 2020.

The Russian submarine struck HMS Northumberland’s towed array sonar - a cable covered in hydrophones - which it was trailing hundreds of metres behind it.

HMS Northumberland had been tracking the submarine 200 miles north of Scotland before it reportedly disappeared from the ship’s radar.

The ship’s crew spotted the submarine on the surface before it dived again.

The Royal Navy ship’s commander Thom Hobbs says in a clip: “We are very close to the submarine, we are probably parallel. If they were on the surface we would definitely see faces.” The camera crew then captures the moment of impact, before a member of the crew is heard shouting: “What the f*** have I just hit? :lol:

The sonar was badly damaged and the ship had to return to port in Scotland to get it replaced.

Deliveries begin of Su-30SM2 "Super Sukhoi" to the Russian Armed Forces
https://www.defenseworld.net/news/31216 ... rces_Begin
20 Jan 2022
The new engine for the Su-30SM2 is the AL-41F-1S TVC engine derived from the top-of-the-line Su-35 jet. The new engine will provide an increased thrust-to-weight ratio, lower fuel consumption and longer time between overhauls when compared with the outgoing Al-31FP engine.

Also new in the Su-30SM2 is PESA radar, the N011M Bars-R derivative with increased detection and tracking performance (compared to the radar on the Su-30SM). The SM2 upgrade includes the OSNOD multi-channel communication and information distribution system which enables the aircraft’s integration in Russia’s new-generation command-and-control network.

To me it looks pretty unreal. The volume of sound is too low (wrt other sounds such as a car passing by). Esp. the low(er) flying (twin engine) jet that seemed to be practically on silent mode for a fighter. I have captured videos with sounds of jets even at almost 1km and they thunder. Very low sounds are present only when they are landing (with probably idle power), which clearly was not the case here.

^^ Its tough to prove the authenticity of most of the videos. However, there are number of videos that claim to show Russian aircraft/helicopters and they are all flying at very low levels. There is even a video of an aircraft firing a rocket into the building its being filmed from. Also, multiple videos of cruise missiles flying by or striking targets. Would be interesting to understand what percentage/components of Ukraine's air defense is functional.

Russian submarine design bureau Rubin has unveiled its latest design for a ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) at the Army 2022 defense expo. The new boat, named ‘Arcturus’ (Арктур) after the brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere, is a radical design.

Most striking about the design is that it has an angled outer hull with sloping sides and blended lines. It has a chine running all the way along the side, resembling a modern low-observable aircraft.

Submarines are, by their nature, stealthy. The Arcturus design takes this further than most however, adding an angled outer hull. This matches similar ideas in other countries for deflecting incoming active sonar. This is reminiscent of the German-designed Type-212CD which is being built for Germany and Norway. And the British Dreadnought Class ballistic missile submarine.

Russia’s Modified Su-57 Stealth Fighter Variant With Stage 2 Engine ‘Soars & Roars’ In Test Flight
https://eurasiantimes.com/russias-newly ... r-stage-2/
26 Oct 2022

Modernized Su-57 flew for the first time
https://lenta.ru/news/2022/10/25/su57/
25 Oct 2022

The first flight of the modernized Su-57 fifth-generation fighter took place on October 21 at the airfield in Zhukovsky . It is reported by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). The aircraft was flown by Hero of Russia Sergei Bogdan . The Su-57 was in the air for 56 minutes. The flight passed without remarks. “A set of on-board equipment with extended functionality, intelligent crew support and the possibility of using a wide range of new types of weapons is being tested on the aircraft. It is also possible to install the engine of the second stage on the aircraft, ”the UAC writes.

In October, the American publication Defense News reported that before the start of a special military operation to protect the Donbass, Russia intended to export fifth-generation Su-57 and Su-75 fighters, but at present these plans allegedly lie in ruins. That same month, Military Watch noted that a Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter allegedly set a world record for the longest range to destroy an enemy.
