This source is just an idiot hyping Russian systems even more so a stupid one since this is not the UMPO AL-51F (Izd.30) but an as yet unidentified engine made by Salut

I think I remember reading a long time ago that the engine in question is an AL-41 serving as test bench for the serrated nozzle rather than a different engine in itself.
I think the first dozen Su-57 planned were supposed to use the first stage engine. The ones afterwards were supposed to use the second stage engine. The Su-57M i.e. Project Megapolis was also supposed to enter production afterwards. IIRC the original expected introduction into service for this, Su-57M with second stage engines, was 2025.
The Su-57M is expected to be an upgrade to the Su-57 which adds among other things electromechanical actuators to replace hydraulic ones and a modernized cockpit. The original cockpit used to be based on the one in the Su-35. This will be replaced with a panoramic widescreen display.
Given that the Izdeliye 30 aka AL-51 engine has been in test flights in one of the prototype aircraft for years already it wouldn't be particularly surprising if it could enter service in serial produced aircraft next year.

The Kalashnikov Concern sent to the Russian Ministry of Defense the first production batch of semi-automatic Chukavin “SVCh” sniper rifles, which replaced the Dragunov SVD self-loading sniper rifles. The manufacturer quickly produced the first batch of rifles; they talked about it a month ago; the link to the review is in the comments to the video. According to the holding's information, the “SVCh” rifle is distinguished by improved ergonomics and accuracy of fire. The rifle is equipped with automatic gas release with a short stroke of the gas piston and a three-position rotary gas regulator. According to Kalashnikov President Alan Lushnikov, the “SVCh” has improved ergonomics and accuracy of fire, but at the same time is as reliable as the Dragunov rifle. The weight of the rifle without magazine is 4.8 kg, caliber is 7.62x54 mm, total length is 1170 mm, barrel length is 620 mm. The “SVCh" rifle has a reliable automatic gas system.
No, plain and simple it was taken more than six years ago at Salut and not at UMPO as such not even in the factory, that produces the mentioned engines.
Video of the Russian Kh-101 cruise missile turning on the onboard defense system. Footage of a modernized Russian cruise missile Kh-101 striking Ukraine. On the final leg of the flight, the Kh-101 missile uses the L-504 onboard defense system. The L-504 module is produced by the Ekran Research Institute in the city of Samara, the company specializes in the creation of aviation defense systems. In flight, not just a heat trap is fired, but presumably also small “needles” of different lengths, this makes it possible to deceive enemy air defense guidance radars. Decoys are fired by the missile 6 times, simultaneously with two heat traps on each side of the missile.
Новый российский беспилотник-камикадзе Lancet-55, проморолик ZALA. Компания Aeroscan, входящая в группу компаний ZALA AERO, показала проморолик с беспилотниками собственного производства. На видео время от времени демонстрируются новый беспилотник-камикадзе “Изделие-55” и разведывательный беспилотник ZALA Z-16. Хотя о боеприпасе Lancet-55 loitering известно мало, беспилотник оснащен четырьмя двигателями и продолжает линейку беспилотных летательных аппаратов, использующих аэродинамический дизайн X-wing семейства дронов Lancet. Беспилотник имеет небольшой радиус действия, прост в управлении и абсолютно безопасен для оператора. Беспилотник Lancet-55 запускается из контейнера таким же образом, как и беспилотник Lancet-53, о котором мы рассказывали ранее. Беспилотник отображает изображение цели в формате Full HD в режиме реального времени с выбором оптимального угла сближения с целью. По словам разработчика, основными преимуществами беспилотника являются абсолютная неуязвимость для средств радиоэлектронной борьбы и полная безопасность оператора

New Russian kamikaze drone Lancet-55, ZALA promo video. The Aeroscan company, part of the ZALA AERO group of companies, showed a promotional video with drones of its own production. The video occasionally shows the new kamikaze drone “Izdeliye-55” and the ZALA Z-16 reconnaissance drone. Although little is known about the Lancet-55 loitering munition, the drone is equipped with four engines and continues the line of unmanned aerial vehicles using the aerodynamic X-wing design of the Lancet drone family. The drone has a short range, is easy to control and is absolutely safe for the operator. The Lancet-55 drone is launched from a container in the same way as the Lancet-53 drone, which we described earlier. The drone displays an image of the target in Full HD format in real time with the selection of the optimal approach angle to the target. According to the developer, the main advantages of the drone are absolute invulnerability to electronic warfare and complete operator safety

The only indoor museum in the world opened in Kronstadt, which housed an entire nuclear submarine. The main exhibit of the Museum of Naval Glory in Kronstadt was the first Soviet nuclear submarine K-3 Leninsky Komsomol. Now it is one of the most unique military museum sites in the world. This is not an installation, but a full-size first Soviet nuclear submarine of Project 627 Kit. The creation of the K-3 submarine was a national task in the USSR—35 institutes, more than 20 design bureaus, and about 100 industrial enterprises worked on its solution. The progress of construction of the first nuclear submarine was strictly classified. It was forbidden to even take the drawings into the workshop where the nuclear-powered ship was being built. Before a work shift, workers entered a specially designated room, read the drawings and memorized them. Secrecy was also maintained for the crew; when training sailors at the first Soviet nuclear power plant, they were forbidden to even call each other by name. To restore the submarine, a complex project was developed and implemented to relocate the K-3 nuclear submarine from the Kola Peninsula, from the Nerpa shipyard in the city of Snezhnogorsk, Murmansk region, to St. Petersburg. The K-3 submarine "Leninsky Komsomol" was launched in 1957 and withdrawn from the Northern Fleet in 1991. The service history of the K-3 submarine was difficult and sometimes tragic.
