It can carry a payload of 450 kg and stay in the air for 30 hours.

The Forpost medium-range unmanned aerial vehicle complex is designed for aerial reconnaissance of enemy targets and providing data for target designation to strike (fire) weapons. The complex includes three aircraft.

Over the past year, the combat capabilities of the Unified Space System (USS) have been increased. In May of this year, the fourth Kupol spacecraft was launched. Thus, the second stage of deployment of the EKS orbital constellation has been completed.

The launch complex for Soyuz-2 rockets and the assembly and testing complex for heavy-duty launch vehicles were reconstructed. A test launch of the Angara-A5 rocket with a weight and size mock-up of the spacecraft was successfully carried out.

For aviation technology, early deliveries of 94 aircraft and helicopters are envisaged by the end of 2024. These include 22 Su-57 aircraft, the number of which will be increased to 76 by 2028.

Navy

The Navy, according to the military department, received two modern submarines, 7 surface ships, 10 combat boats, 10 vessels and support boats.

By the end of the year (it is possible that this deadline will be shifted to the right), the advanced Project 885M (Yasen-M) nuclear submarine Kazan is planned to be transferred to the fleet.

The submarine was laid down at (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) in 2009 and launched on March 31, 2017. It is planned that the boat will become part of the Northern Fleet, where the lead submarine Project 885 of the Yasen series, Severodvinsk, is already serving.

By the end of 2022, the fleet will be replenished with two corvettes - “Gremyashchiy” and “Hero of Russia Aldar Tsydenzhapov”.

The Project 20385 corvette Gremyashchiy, intended for the Pacific Fleet, was accepted on December 25 by the state commission. On December 29, they plan to raise the St. Andrew's flag on the new corvette.

The newest corvette of Project 20380 “Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov” entered the Pacific Fleet on December 25. It became the third multi-purpose patrol ship of Project 20380, which became part of the Pacific Fleet. The first two - "Perfect" and "Loud" - were broadcast earlier.

In terms of the number of coastal missile systems “Bal” and “Bastion”, the Coastal Forces of the Russian Navy reached 74% of the requirement in 2022.

The use of advanced financing makes it possible to solve the problem of the shortage of funds for the construction of ships in the far sea zone and to ensure a reduction in delivery times for modern aircraft.

Currently, the construction of 16 and the modernization of 19 surface ships of the far sea zone is underway, and government contracts will be awarded for another six next year.

In total, taking into account existing government contracts, the total number of warships being built and modernized in the far sea zone will be 41 units.

The Ministry of Defense is working to improve pricing methods. This made it possible to exclude an unreasonable increase in the cost of government contracts in 2018-2020, and to maintain 551 billion rubles in the volume of the State Program. and use these funds to re-equip troops.

The planned indicators for the purchase of modern models due to the measures taken will make it possible to bring the level of modernity of the army and navy to 75.9% by the end of 2024.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu noted that our Armed Forces are among the most advanced and most technologically developed armies in the world. “In terms of modernity, we are higher than similar indicators of the armed forces of many states. At the same time, in terms of defense spending this year, Russia has moved from eighth to ninth place,” the head of the military department emphasized at a meeting of the expanded board of the Ministry of Defense on December 21, 2021.

What potential lies in the depths of the defense industry?

Everyone already expects that new achievements of the Russian defense industry are a source of pride for the country. As mentioned above, the main part of the weapon is simply closed from prying eyes. But we will focus on the most interesting equipment.

Robotic military units

Unmanned aircraft have truly impressive speeds. They can neutralize the enemy much faster than with human participation. Manufacturers decided to work towards this feature of aerial robots.

Today, units of equipment are being sold that are specifically designed to improve newfangled methods of combat. Political forces also intend to implement the creation of other types of transport that move without the participation of management personnel:

  • submarines;
  • torpedoes;
  • fast cars;
  • ships.

Russia's newest weapons will bring nuclear support with robot troops. In addition, this type of equipment will be capable of transporting cargo for various purposes. It is very difficult to calculate the designed mobile defense; however, it has limitless potential.

Although the military themselves will also have a chance to “play around.” The management intends to give an order for the production of electronic warfare installations.

A weapon called “Bylina” is designed to determine stations providing radio signals and satellite communications. The RB-109A being developed can suppress radio broadcasts from the enemy side.


Production of laser units

Another type being prepared for sale on the military market. The combat weapon “Peresvet” is currently under a veil of secrecy. However, it is known that it will be located on the chassis of armored vehicles. "Peresvet" was created to destroy ground and air targets.

High precision missiles

We got to the new Russian weapons of 2022, capable of destroying the enemy with extreme accuracy. The “Dagger” weapon set, which is about to see the world, is a unique development that has no equal. Hypersonic equipment can rightfully be considered one of the key achievements of the Russian defense industry.
