Footage of the Russian BTR-60PB with a homemade "Tsar-Barbecue" type protection. This body kit looks ridiculous, but effectively protects the combat vehicle from FPV drones, it is worth noting that the creation of such a protection option is quite labor-intensive. The BTR-60 was developed in the USSR in 1960, it is used occasionally by the Russian and Ukrainian armies, all BTRs are removed from storage. They are also in storage in many other countries.

The first contracts for the export of the Russian Su-57 fighter jet were signed at the Airshow China 2024 exhibition in China. The General Director of Rosoboronexport Alexander Mikheev announced the deliveries of Su-57E aircraft abroad. However, he did not specify which countries or companies the contracts were signed with. Presumably, the Su-57 may be purchased by Iran, North Korea, Algeria or Venezuela. According to unofficial data, Russia currently has 22 Su-57 fighter jets, and by 2027 it is planned to increase their number to 76 units. The expected production volumes of the Su-57 from 2025 to 30 units per year, this has not been officially confirmed.

Rosoboronexport to Organize Demonstration of Russia's Military Aviation and Air Defense Achievements at Airshow China 2024
Rosoboronexport's stand will feature the Ka-52E combat reconnaissance and attack helicopter. The company will demonstrate the possibility of integrating the Kh-35UE tactical anti-ship missile, designed to destroy warships and transport vessels, into its armament system, as well as the Kh-38MLE air-based modular guided missile, which is being exhibited outside of Russia for the first time and which destroys infrastructure facilities, high-strength ground objects and surface targets in the coastal zone

The 2024 upgrade of Ka-52M will give high detail pics. (Super SAR mode) and low radar contrast (composite flying wing UAVs, new generation cruise missiles). I doubt even AWACS can find these UAVs at low altitude at sufficient distance from battlefield. this make AWACS less effective in high end battle. In 2022 they put into production one of GaN line. and Shoigu mentioned Russia now developing new weopons ten times faster than normal time.
previously it was mentioned that production of Ka-52M/Mi-28NM approaching 100 per year. so scale of AESA radar sets are approaching near other large manufacturing countries. infact only US/China will be able to integrate small radar sets into various platforms. i cannot count radar UAVs.

The Ka-52M helicopter will be equipped with a circular-view radar for all-weather and round-the-clock reconnaissance​

"The Ka-52M attack helicopters will receive a new all-round radar station operating in the centimeter range. These stations will allow the helicopters to detect a wide range of air and ground targets, such as enemy aircraft, helicopters and UAVs, armored vehicles, artillery positions, concentrations of manpower and other military facilities, including in high-detail radio vision mode," the agency's source said.

He added that with the new radar, the Ka-52M will be able to conduct all-weather and round-the-clock reconnaissance and target designation in conditions of strong natural and artificial radio interference. In particular, the helicopters will be able to detect targets with low radar contrast.

JSC ZNTC, together with a scientific and technological partner, is developing technology and preparing infrastructure for the production of transistor crystals based on gallium nitride heterostructures for the manufacture of power and microwave electronics. One of the project stages has been completed: the construction of the site and installation of the necessary equipment have been completed, the site has been put into operation.
Commissioning of a separate production site, fully autonomous and independent from the main production line, will allow the transition to manufacturing products on gallium nitride substrates from single-unit production to small-scale production.

Russia develops new weapons in four to seven months, Shoigu said​

MOSCOW, December 19 - RIA Novosti. Russian designers are creating new weapons for the Russian Armed Forces in 4-7 months instead of 5-8 years under normal conditions, this has not happened since the Great Patriotic War, the head of the Russian Defense Ministry, Sergei Shoigu, said at an extended meeting of the board of the Russian Defense Ministry.

"Our leading designers have been creating the latest systems and weapons for several months to meet the needs of the troops. Weapons that were developed and tested under normal conditions for 5-8 years are now being put into serial production within 4-7 months. This has not happened since the Great Patriotic War," he said.
