Approximately the same problem with engines for large helicopters, such as the Mi-26. Is it true that a new engine for a giant helicopter can be created on the basis of the PD-8?

– Yes, the PD-8 gas generating system will be used on this engine. We have already made a big start in this direction. Mi-26 is a unique helicopter. There are practically no analogues in the world. It is in demand not only by the Ministry of Defense, but also in the national economy, since the carrying capacity is serious. It will be necessary to transfer both equipment and building materials to those places where it is impossible to do this by other means of transport.

In the near future - we need two or three years - we will bring the PD-8 to the point where it can be installed on the Mi-26. But I want to separately note that the engine power will be 15% higher. Technology does not stand still. We don't just have to repeat something, we have to do it better and more powerfully than before.

Kurganmashzavod (part of Rostec's High-Precision Complexes) delivered the next batch of BMP-3 and upgraded BMP-2M with the Berezhok combat module ahead of schedule - in June, contracts with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with a deadline of November were already closed, and in the first half of 2023, 95% of the output for the entire year of 2022 was produced during the first half of 2023, the press service of High-precision Complexes told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.
The press service of the holding reminded that the plant's staff has been working six days a week for 12 hours for almost a year, and at some production sites – in shifts around the clock.

"The production program for the second half of the year will be even tougher. We will have to produce 30% more products than in the past six months.

Shoigu noted that the Kurgan Machine Plant was able to increase the supply and overhaul of the BMP-3 by 2.1 times. Arzamas Machine-Building Plant increased the supply of BTR-82A fourfold, and Tiger-M doubled.

The amount of ammunition produced has increased by more than 10 times compared to the beginning of last year, the head of the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Are BTR-82As brand new chassis? Or are they retrofitting old BTRs?

Want a modernized BMP-1, BTR-80 or MT-LB? Pick the right turret and combat module. Got the right catalog for tailoring to your defense needs.

2S25M Sprut appears in combat in MoD video. I have not seen the original video yet, for now this is a second hand reporting from Tribun Timur.

Truly a secret weapon in the literal sense. Very little information has been released and Russians keeping it a secret. Yet it may already have been deployed for the last four months and may have already played a crucial part in recent battles. I also think these might have been delivered or laid using the new Agriculture rocket launched mining system. If you don't know what a jumping mine is or just heard of it for the first time, watch the video.


New Russian FPV drone "Hortensia" begins mass production.


New BTR-82 mod with radar being tested for anti drone work.


A new anti drone system maybe installed on tanks in the near future.
