Russian company ZALA, manufacturer of the Lancet drones, unveiled its new KAMA marine drones in Kronstadt. The unmanned KAMA boat is designed for civilian and special missions. The marine drone can conduct hydrographic surveys, environmental monitoring, patrols, and security.
The drone is equipped with thermal imaging cameras and an automatic return-to-base system in the event of communication loss. The drone may also receive a new satellite link. The KAMA marine drone can carry a payload of up to 600 kg, has a range of up to 700 km, and operates autonomously for up to 12 hours at a speed of up to 55 km/h.

This international forum held in Samara and mentioned technologies for next 10 years. I presume it happened in Samara than they have increasing confidence of next generation tech from that city. aka Tu-160M2 and PAK-DA. It seem there will be closing in standards between Civilian and Military engines due to loitering and power supply requirements.
Technologies highly standardized across UEC turbines.

The United Engine Corporation, part of the Rostec State Corporation, plans to create three aircraft demonstrator engines that will test 18 advanced critical technologies. Development paths for next-generation power plants were presented at the International Forum "Advanced Engines and Power Plants 2026" in Samara.
The aviation of the future involves fundamentally new technologies, including engines that will outperform today's power plants. A large collaboration of Rostec State Corporation enterprises is working on this project, with UEC playing a key role in developing next-generation gas turbine engines. Three technology demonstrator engines are planned for development within 10 years. These will be used to test 18 critical technologies, which are cross-cutting and highly standardized across all UEC gas turbine engines. Currently, our flagship engine is the PD-35 technology demonstrator. A high-compression gas generator, composite fan blades, an advanced combustion chamber, a gearbox with increased energy generation, and an automatic control system with AI algorithms will ensure the engine's performance is competitive on the global market, and these technologies will find application in other UEC projects," noted Dmitry Karelin, Deputy General Designer for Research and Development at UEC .
Fuel efficiency is a key factor in the competitiveness of aircraft engines. Over the past 50 years, specific fuel consumption has decreased by approximately 35% thanks to new technologies. In regional aviation, hybrid power plants may be the next step in development. For small aircraft, the use of recuperators—a heat-exchange device that uses exhaust heat to preheat the air entering the combustion chamber—is also being studied. This improves engine efficiency.

Improving engine efficiency requires increasing the gas temperature in front of the turbine. Today, thanks to the use of new alloys and technologies, the temperature in front of the turbine can be increased by 600°C compared to earlier generations of engines. A promising direction is the introduction of ceramic composite materials. These materials can ensure turbine operation without the cooling system currently used.
An exhibition of cutting-edge Russian technologies is also being held at Samara University. The exhibition features digital twins, VR design technologies, AI solutions, additive manufacturing, as well as hybrid, hydrogen, and small gas turbine engines.

USC lays the keel for the nuclear submarine cruiser "Murmansk"

On June 17, a ceremonial ceremony was held at the USC Sevmash enterprise to lay the keel for the multi-purpose nuclear submarine cruiser "Murmansk" of the "Yasen-M" project. The name of the submarine was assigned by the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral of the Fleet Alexander Moiseev.

The keelboard for the section of the APC "Murmansk" was installed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral of the Fleet Alexander Moiseev, the General Director of USC, Andrey Puchkov, and the General Director of the USC Sevmash enterprise, Mikhail Budnichenko.

At various stages of construction, several other nuclear submarine cruisers are currently at the enterprise.

As the General Director of USC, Andrey Puchkov noted, addressing the employees of the enterprise at the ceremonial ceremony, new orders and a formed portfolio for the near future guarantee a stable workload for "Sevmash" and a reliable future, while ensuring the renewal of the fleet and the strengthening of the country's submarine forces:

“As I promised you earlier, the plant is receiving new orders. USC, together with the Ministry of Defense, continues to update the country's naval fleet, strengthening the potential of our submarine forces. It is your team that has been entrusted with such an important task. I'm sure you understand - this trust must be justified.”

The ceremonial ceremony was attended by representatives of the Navy, government authorities, the management of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, industrial enterprises and the design organization - the design bureau USC "Malakhit

The Russian Northern Fleet has received the new Project 12700 minesweeper "Polyarny," which has already arrived in the city of Polyarny. Construction of the Project 12700 "Alexandrite" minesweepers began in 2011. Currently, the fleet has 10 ships of this type, with plans to build 24 ships in total. The minesweepers' primary mission is to detect and destroy sea mines in the waters of naval bases at a safe distance. Project 12700 minesweepers are highly maneuverable. The ship has a displacement of 800 tons and a hull made of monolithic fiberglass. The advantage of this "non-magnetic" hull is its greater strength compared to steel hulls, ensuring greater survivability when searching for mines. The Polar minesweeper has a cruising range of up to 1,500 miles, an endurance of up to 10 days, and a speed of up to 16.5 knots. The crew consists of 44.


Main characteristics of the Project 12700 Alexandrite seagoing minesweeper

Displacement: 800 t (standard), 890 t (full).
Length: 61.6 m (maximum).
Width: 10.3 m (maximum).
Draft: 2.6 m (minimum), 3.1 m (midships), 3.6 m (maximum).

Armament and equipment

Radar armament: PAL-N navigation radar.
Electronic armament: Ruberoid KS, Anapa PGAS, Struktura-35 ZS sonar, Altyn-M GISZ.

Anti-aircraft artillery: 1 x 6 x 30 mm AK-306 (1,500 rounds).
One machine gun mount (MTPU, 14.5 mm caliber; can be replaced with two 12.7 mm Kord machine guns)
Missile armament: 8 x 1 9K38 Igla 1 MANPADS (8 9M39 SAMs) or 9K333 Verba MANPADS.
Mine and torpedo armament: UDM, UDM-2, UDM-500 mines; MTPK-1, MTPK-2; MRPK-1; PMR-1, PMR-2 systems; various types of minesweepers (the acoustic SHAT-U, the contact GKT-2 or GOKT-1, the Gelatin minesweeper simulator, etc.).
Mine search and destruction systems: for example, the Alexandrite-ISPUM integrated system, which includes a shipborne sonar station, a towed sonar station, and A remotely operated underwater vehicle for detecting and destroying mines at depths of up to 300 meters.

Propulsion: two M503B-1 Zvezda diesel engines, rated at 2,500 hp (1,838 kW) each, plus diesel generators (2 x ADGR-315/1500 OM4, 2 x DGF2A 200/1500).
Propulsion: two shafts, two variable-pitch propellers (VPP), two PU-100F bow thrusters, and two VPK-90F/70 stern retractable thrusters.

This African Legion PMC done training in Madagascar's

This African Legion is called "Unique Product" that hasnt happened in Africa in past 30 years or ever. I wont go too much into Arabic sources but this Africa Legion or Afrika corps demonstrate the relatability and depth of Russian helicopters/Aircraft/Satellites/Drones. This is much beyond than any one has done on this scale for this long.

Russia will supply 21 Mi-171 to Iran. and starting in one year. There were Mi-28 supplied earlier.

Putin spoke about the upcoming relocation of some large companies from Moscow to the regions​

"RusHydro and PSB Bank are positive examples of such moves. A corresponding decision has been made at the United Engine Corporation. Similar decisions are in the final stages for Russian Railways Group companies, as well as other entities involved in railway construction," Putin said

This first time Russian ambassador to India mention smaller and faster version of Brahmos. I presume even longer range. and there is info that he was telling that Brahmos performance so good in India hands. Maybe Russia should buy it. it will be like Made in India attacking Ukraine.
