I guess Russians arent in hurry pursuing new PAK-DA.
There are claims that the prototype will be rolled out this year. But seeing is believing.
Kuznetsov and Tupolev were basically rebuilt and equipped with modern equipment.
They started building the first PAK DA cockpit in 2020.
Kuznetsov started doing bench tests of the Izeliye RF engines for PAK DA in 2022.
The first airframes are supposedly being built.

Aww, I hate when they blur things out!
Footage of the modernized Russian Tu-160M missile carriers. The President of Russia visited the Kazan Aviation Plant named after Gorbunov, where he talked with aircraft manufacturers and boarded one of the aircraft. The Tu-160 supersonic bomber entered service in 1987, later it was upgraded to the Tu-160M and Tu-160M2 versions. In the modernized aircraft, most of the equipment, automatic on-board control system, fuel management complex, aviation system, and weapons were replaced. The new information and control system of the aircraft made it possible to abandon analog instruments. The aircraft can carry Kh-555, Kh-101, Kh-15, Kh-22 and Kh-55 missiles. After inspecting one of the aircraft, the President of Russia proposed giving it the name "Mintimer Shaimiev".
A prototype of Afalina maritime drones is shown in Russia. Russia has begun testing a prototype of the Afalina naval kamikaze drone. At the moment, it is known that surface unmanned vehicles are equipped with artificial intelligence, apparently implying communication with neural networks. The unmanned boat will be 3.5 meters long and capable of carrying up to 200 kilograms of explosives over a range of up to 500 kilometers. This is the second type of maritime drone announced by Russia.
US analysts claim Russian artillery shell production has peaked and now the US will surpass it thanks to new production facilities being built in the US which will start operating next year. But the Russians aren't standing still either.
Kalashnikov is increasing its high-precision capabilities
21 February 2024
The first section of the new heat treatment shop, opened at the Kalashnikov concern plant in Izhevsk, is ready for operation as part of the expansion of the production of high-precision products.
There is a new workshop with an area of 2000 sq.m. designed for the installation of more than 20 vacuum and tempering furnaces for heat treatment of blanks for future projectile parts. All equipment is equipped with modern software, which allows you to automate the heat treatment process and more accurately control its parameters. This will improve the quality of products.
The increase in production volumes is associated with a multiple increase in the government contract this year. Alan Lushnikov, President of Kalashnikov Concern JSC, spoke about this at a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The head of the military department focused the attention of the enterprise management on the demand for anti-aircraft guided missiles. According to him, this is an extremely important and necessary product for the protection of critical infrastructure facilities of the Russian economy.
At the Kalashnikov plant, this is already the third section launched in high-precision production since last year. Earlier, for the production of artillery ammunition in the special equipment production division, a new mechanical section with 80 milling and turning machines was put into operation, thanks to which more than 160 jobs appeared at the plant, and over two hundred more will appear in the near future.
