I think Russian are going to use TU-160M in high end conflict as an AWACS. they have more fuel efficient and uprated engines. almost twice the power of A-100. slow low altitude AWACS will have hard time to be relevant.
The basic technology behind missiles like R-37 is from 1980s. now Russian are going to deploy what they called 5G and 6G missiles.
the rest of in between capabilities are covered with satellites, fighters, attack helicopters and drones.
the radar and engine power for this Forpost is too small but still capable of finding targets and transmitting targets as far as use of Kalibr missiles. this compactness and lightness of system.

Can you go in more detail about 5G and 6G missiles? I could not find any information on this online? Is this a successor to the R-37M?

it was one of the Arabic side broad cast not the main stream. mentioning next generation of ultra long range missiles.
around same time when Russia introduced this missile for Su-57. Russia only has publicly admitted 5G missile for short range and they may not even show to give surprize.
The news gives you enough hint about direction of production and importance of each weopon system like in 2024 they are still increasing Ka-52M production and so highly likely it is the main weopon system.

The "Tersanat Al Watan" magazine reported that the Su-57 fighters will be equipped with the fifth-generation short-range RVV-MD2 missiles, which are 10 to 15 years ahead of American design

2050 Naval strategy. I dont see place for Aircraft carrier yet. Vulnerability of Carriers mentioned.
Emphasis on hypersonic, unmanned and interfering with ports. this the long arm of recon and strike complex. every thing connected with Satellites. Russia may have existing labor resources that it dont want to displace and whose skills are based around carriers like Kuzentov and Viki.

Radical changes await the Russian Navy​

For the first time in modern history, Russia has approved a strategy for the development of the Navy. The document provides for the main directions for improving the type of troops up to 2050. According to experts, such a measure is designed to increase the effectiveness of the army, as well as adapt the fleet to the challenges of modern times. What will be the focus of the transformation of the naval forces?

Another point concerns shipbuilding and the modernization of shipbuilding facilities. "Multi-purpose submarines are being regularly commissioned. But it is also important to specify which ships the Navy needs," the source explained. The document probably also affects the composition of the FSB coast guard, because in the event of hostilities, all these boats come under the leadership of the Navy.

"It is possible to install more powerful weapons on vessels of this category, which need a lot in all our areas of water borders," the speaker stressed. In his opinion, special attention will be paid to the development of unmanned systems: surface, underwater and aerial. The expert recalled that regiments of unmanned systems are already being created as part of the Navy. Naval aviation should also develop.,
According to the analyst, the determining factors in the evolution of the Russian fleet will be hypersonic weapons and unmanned systems, both aviation and sea–based. Against this background, it is not worth trying to predict how many aircraft carriers will be in the Navy. "Perhaps none, and this will turn out to be our advantage," Anpilogov admitted.


"At the beginning of the 20th century, those countries that stopped building outdated battleships and focused on the production of battleships found themselves in an advantageous position. The First World War showed the demand for completely different classes of naval weapons, in particular high-speed destroyers," the expert explained.

"Today, aircraft carrier strike groups, which were previously fought against with the help of a powerful navy, are vulnerable to the actions of drones and anti-ship complexes. A vivid example of this is the confrontation between the Americans and the Houthis," the source said. It is also necessary to rethink the role of heavy missile boats.
He also noted that the main military tasks of the Navy, even in 2050, will remain the same: among them – domination of the sea, blockade of the enemy coast, protection of the country's trade. "But it is possible to transform the solution of these tasks. For example, it is now possible to interfere with the activities of the enemy's ports with the help of a backup system," the analyst added.

Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the strategy for the development of the Navy until 2050​

At the same time, all these systems operating in the air, underwater, and on the sea surface must be closely integrated into a single reconnaissance and strike contour and connected to our satellite constellation.

The Tula plant "Octava" presented the first sample of the bulletproof vest "Obereg-SN", which can be worn unnoticed under clothing. The area of the protective panels in the bulletproof vest is larger than that of foreign analogues and at the same time it does not restrict movement. The Russian bulletproof vest "Obereg-SN" effectively stops bullets from 9x18 mm and 9x19 Parabellum cartridges. It stops stabs from cold arms, fragments from grenades and anti-personnel mines. At the same time, the weight of the bulletproof vest is quite small - from 1.7 kg. The development is aimed at the civilian market

Basically, if we read between lines:

1) Russia has no real, concrete strategy. Just abstract wishes.

2) Russia admits that they will not have a new carrier by 2050. Tries to sugarcoat it by saying it might be "their advantage".

3) Lider cruiser is history - of course. Seems that "Super Gorskhov" probably is history too.

4) It's useless to have a strategy towards 2050 since Putin will be dead by 2050, and given Russia's modern history, there is no guarantee that there won't be another Gorba + Yeltsin traitor team waiting to take over and then cancels whatever Russia started building.

5) Russia puts too much faith in Tsirkon missile - whilst having a weak surface fleet. Facts are, none of the Tsirkon carrying frigates would be able to attack a sizable NATO ship, as the U.S. would send probably 500 fighters and bombers to smoke the "Admiral Gorskhovs" frigate ass that has Tsirkon. So there is that, not having air superiority makes Tsirkon useless. Tsirkon is only useful is Russia has at least 500 Su-57 ready by 2030 or so - which Russia will NOT have, unfortunately.

What should Russia do now and over the next few years:

1) Should blow up Kuznetsov, Peter the "Great", 2 Slava cruisers. Use them as target practice. Same goes for anything else that is like 30+ years old and uses both fuel, maintenance etc.

2) Stop exporting stuff to India, that includes "leasing" nuke subs to India and spending time to give them Talwar (Grigorovich) frigates. Keep that nuke sub to yourself and keep Talwars to yourself too.

3) Give those that are buildning Gorskhovs a serious and resonable dead line: Finish up current Gorshkovs fast or get excecuted on the spot, especially CEOs that are "running the place" and stealing money.

4) Order stuff from China, or even pay for exsisting ships that China has to fill the gap in the Russian surface fleet.

India is part of Arabic economic system. it will get system based on how much it can deliver all the things it is expected from it and it is not just monetary. Su-30SM2 will solve India problem and that line is now essentially surplus for Russia.
This tweet is about Su-35 from mainstream Saudi media mentioning exceptional capabilities of Su-35. but than you have to understand whole background what they are conveying like radar stealth etc. it is like saying one Su-35 can destroy 14 Su-30MKI. thats how far behind India is in tech. Just the speed mentioning is so much that MKI will be not able to run from it.


small corvette with Pantsir can intercept missiles flying at 2km/hr. Kinzal range now greater than 2000km. this very small missile and mass produced now. I dont see any value remaining in Aircraft Carriers as Aircraft it will be launching does not have much to offer for payload and range. you are dealing with Tu-160M2 and Su-34M that lift 3000L tanks and can strike much further any carrier aircraft.

Moscow. June 29. INTERFAX-AVN - Russian military said that they launched a massive strike on Ukrainian military-industrial complexes and oil refining industry enterprises at night, and once again used the Kinzhal hypersonic system.
According to the Russian military, it is capable of hitting targets at a range of more than 2 thousand km, while being guaranteed to overcome all existing and developed air defense and missile defense systems.

The Russian Pacific Fleet conducted missile exercises in the Sea of Japan. Up to 40 ships, boats and support vessels, more than 35 aircraft and helicopters participated in the exercises. During the exercises, the crew of the missile cruiser Varyag launched an anti-ship missile of the P1000 Vulcan complex. The crews of the missile boats launched P-270 Moskit cruise missiles. The combat crew of the Bastion coastal missile system launched a P-800 Onyx anti-ship missile from the coast of Primorsky Krai. The missiles hit targets simulating enemy ships in the waters of the Sea of Japan.

Hi,
I think they have some understanding with China in Pacific, to some extent both will
look after each other so that might be the reason Russian are getting more active in
pacific.
thank you
