The compact Lebedev pistol entered serial production with over 10,000 guns produced. Meant for law enforcement officers including the Russian National Guard. This uses 9x19mm Parabellum.
The 6P72 Boa Constrictor also entered serial production. This uses 9x21mm Gyurza and is meant for the Army.
The company has mastered serial production and fulfilled government contracts in 2023 for the supply of compact Lebedev pistols (PLC) for the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation with a total quantity of more than 10,000 products.
The Lebedev modular pistol and the new 6P72 “Boa Constrictor” pistol developed by TsNIITOCHMASH are being put into serial production; Both pistols are undergoing qualification tests to confirm the plant's readiness for serial production.
The plant doubled the production of Yarygin pistols.
The company has doubled the production of sets of mechanical parts for the S-13 unguided aircraft rocket, ensuring timely execution of government contracts for this product.
IMZ has also increased the production of civilian products: hunting rifles MP-27, MP-43, as well as pneumatic products MP-512 and MP-654.
A significant increase in production volumes became possible thanks to the modernization of the production of special equipment and foundries: more than 900 million rubles were invested in the development of these areas, as well as in infrastructure projects in 2023.
Thanks to the increase in production volumes, the plant was able to increase the average wage level at the plant by 23% relative to the 2022 wage. The plant has implemented a new unified remuneration system (USOT), which provides unified approaches to the formation of workers' wages, and also ensures production growth and motivation to increase labor productivity/efficiency.
The 6P72 Boa Constrictor also entered serial production. This uses 9x21mm Gyurza and is meant for the Army.
IMZ in 2023: increase in production of pistols by 5 times, components for missiles by 2 times
In 2023, Izhevsk Mechanical Plant (JSC IMZ) increased the production of combat pistols fivefold and the production of special-purpose products twofold, which made it possible to achieve record figures for the entire existence of this line of production.The company has mastered serial production and fulfilled government contracts in 2023 for the supply of compact Lebedev pistols (PLC) for the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation with a total quantity of more than 10,000 products.

8 is far too few when some of them are not available due to maintenance needs and other reasons, and the need to keep them up 24x7 in all across the battlefront.
The US should have 24x E-3 AWACS. And these will be eventually cut down to 14x.
Russia supposedly has 16x A-50 aircraft of all types. And at least 8x were upgraded to A-50U standard. They have upgraded them at a rate of like one or two a year so this number will continue to increase. Then eventually the A-100 will enter production.

Russian troops began using the Saniya electronic warfare system to protect tanks from drones, one of which was spotted on a T-80BVM tank. The Saniya electronic warfare system is designed to counter FPV drones and was developed by the Russian company 3mx. The complex is equipped with eight antennas and is available in stationary and mobile versions. The complex does not work all the time, but turns on automatically only when radiation from FPV drones is detected; for this, it is equipped with a Bulat drone detector, which we previously talked about. The Saniya electronic warfare system suppresses drone operating frequencies of 450 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.2 GHz, 1.5 GHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. According to the manufacturer, drones are detected at a range of up to 1.5 km and suppressed within 1 km. The jamming distance of drone frequencies depends on the weather, terrain conditions and the characteristics of the kamikaze drone. The antennas of the complex are capable of deflecting and returning to their original position, this is convenient when moving equipment in the forest. The weight of the Sania electronic warfare complex is 26 kilograms.
Footage of the launch of the Russian 9M723 missile and the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system has been published; the officially declared flight range of these missiles is up to 500 kilometers; it is believed that in reality the missiles fly further. In total, Russia has about 170 Iskander-M complexes.
The Triada-TKO company showed how the new Russian uniform VKPO 3.0 is produced, we previously talked about it, the link to the video is in the comments to the video. Since May 2023, 100,000 sets of military uniforms have been delivered to the troops, and soldiers have good reviews of them. The uniform set is being modernized; from 2024, the second version of the VKPO 3.0 uniform will be supplied to the troops. This will include new non-flammable underwear of the first layer, shoulder straps and the upper part of the suits will be made of fabric with “IR remission”. A set of waterproof and windproof field uniforms with thermoregulation has already been created. Currently, Russian troops are supplied with three types of military field uniforms. Military uniforms VKPO 2.0, produced by the company BTK-group, VKPO 3.0 produced by the company TRIADA-TKO and VKPO 4.0 produced by the company 545-design, are used by special forces units.
Since there is no topic about the Ethiopian army, I am posting it here. The Ethiopian Air Force has received Russian export Su-30K fighters. The ceremony of introducing the first two Su-30K aircraft into the Ethiopian Air Force took place last Tuesday, January 16. Russia previously supplied 18 Su-30K fighter jets to India in the second half of the 1990s. In 2008, India returned 18 Su-30K fighters to Russia under the “trade in” system, receiving new Su-30MKIs in return. In 2011, all aircraft were transported from India to Belarus to the 558th aircraft repair plant in Baranovichi. In 2013, 12 former Indian Su-30K fighters were purchased by Angola after modifications and repairs were carried out in Belarus. The Su-30K was developed in 1993 on the basis of the Su-27UB and is a transitional model to the Indian version of the Su-30MKI aircraft.
The first Russian UAV Kor-112 made of plastic polymer. The Novosibirsk company OKB tested the Kor-112 heavy UAV. The Night Bird UAV is created according to the “flying wing” design, which allows the drone with a base weight of 21.5 kilograms to take off from any site or from water, without a catapult, with a take-off run of only 50 meters. The drone was successfully tested in cold weather of 37 degrees. The Kor-112 UAV is controlled by changing the thrust differential of the power plants. The efficiency of this method of taxiing is higher than that of the classic method with a deflectable plane, which allows you to control the drone not only in the air but also on the ground. To maintain flight, the thrust of one engine is sufficient, this allows you to return the drone if one of the drives fails. The drone is made of thermoplastic polymer, which has not been used before; any breakages or holes can be easily repaired on the drone using a soldering iron. The UAV is equipped with a cargo compartment with a hatch in the lower part of the fuselage, which allows it to accommodate any load weighing 13.5 kg, including ammunition. The drone is equipped with Chinese engines, but Russian ones can also be used in large-scale production. The company can produce up to 1,000 drones per month, currently producing 60. In an emergency, the drone returns to the starting point on its own. The estimated flight range of the drone is 30 kilometers, in repeater mode 60 kilometers and above, the drones change frequencies and transmit data to each other. The drone's flight time with an electric motor is 2.5 hours, with additional batteries up to 6 hours, with a gasoline engine 2 hours. The drone's flight altitude is 6 kilometers, speed is 215 km/h. The cargo compartment of the drone is 620 mm long, 160 mm high and 360 mm wide. The wingspan of the drone is 2700 mm, the length of the drone is 1200 mm.
The Kozelsky Mechanical Plant launched the production of Russian dugouts and shelters “Mole”. The dugout is made of sandwich panels; it can be quickly delivered to the desired location and can be assembled by two people in a few hours. When changing the location of soldiers, the dugout can be quickly disassembled and transported to another location. The dugouts are designed to accommodate 4 soldiers and can be equipped with sleeping places, a table, stools and a stove. The “Mole” dugouts are made according to the “thermos” principle - it is cool in summer and warm in winter, the dugout is reliably protected from moisture, insects and rodents.
