Iran will collaborate with Russia to build more spy satellites named “Khayyam” to assist the Persian country in addressing various security and defense challenges in the region.
Russia is reported to be upgrading its attack helicopters, the Ka-52M “Alligator,” by equipping them with what is referred to as a “ventral all-around radar station” to enable them to engage more targets.
Russian kamikaze drone, “Lancet,” has successfully hit a static Ukrainian Su-25 fighter jet at an airbase located approximately 60 km from the Ukrainian army’s front lines.
A few days ago, Russia announced that it had initiated large-scale construction of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) called “Sarmat.”
Yesterday, President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia had successfully tested the “Burevestnik” cruise missile, which the country characterized as one of its “super weapons” under development since 2018.
The widespread use of Russia’s suicide drones, especially the “LANCET,” will expose American-made M1A1 Abrams tanks as soon as they enter the battlefield in Ukraine.
To ensure the safety of their fleet Soviet-era of Tu-95 “Bear” strategic bombers based at Engels Air Base 2 in Saratov, Russia, from increasing Ukrainian drone attacks, the Russian military has employed an unconventional approach.
As early as 2016, the senior management of the Russian aircraft manufacturer Mikoyan Gurevich envisioned that the long-range interceptor aircraft MiG-31 “Foxhound” would be retired in 2028.
Although facing strict economic sanctions by the international community, Russia’s defense industry is still able to deliver new fighter aircraft to its air force.
In a recent development, Iran’s “Shahed-136” suicide drone, extensively used by Russia in Ukraine, has reportedly been equipped with a turbojet engine, enabling it to fly faster and strike targets more effectively.
