MOSCOW, July 19. /TASS/. Russia’s Advanced Research Foundation (ARF) has started testing of a "smart bullet" in a guided flight regime, ARF Deputy Director General Vitaly Davydov told TASS in an interview.

"The work in this direction continues. The stages of the product’s design and experimental development in an unguided regime have been completed, and the guided flight tests have started", he said.

ARF had planned to test a "smart bullet" that is designed to hit targets at a distance of up to 10 kilometers, as early as last year.

How much is propaganda and how much is true? What can be confirmed is that the US DARPA has tested and been in development of a guided bullet for at least a decade.
I also want to note that I find the attached image misleading. It's highly doubtful that aguided bullet could be of a pistol or even conventional rifle caliber more likely is that like the DARPA version this is intended for above 12.7mm and above. the stated range being 10 Km makes me think even larger perhaps something like a modernized PTRS-41 or in the same class as the South African Denel NTW-20 meaning an antitank rifle.

New Russia S-500 air and space defense complex to be on display in September 2016

New Russia S-500 «Prometheus» mobile air and space defense complex reportedly to be on display in September 2016 at International military-technical forum “ARMY-2016”.

International military-technical forum “ARMY-2016” is scheduled for September 6-11, 2016 and will be held on the basis of Patriot Congress and Exhibition Centre of the military-patriotic recreation park of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (Kubinka, Moscow region).

The Defense Ministry is allegedly planning to order five S-500 complexes capable of intercepting ballistic and hypersonic missiles.

Open sources say the S-500 will be capable of simultaneously engaging up to 10 targets traveling at speeds of up to seven kilometers per second, which is an approximate speed of intercontinental ballistic missile nuclear warheads entering the atmosphere. The killing range of the complex is reported to be 600 kilometers, while the altitude of a target engaged could be near 180-200 kilometers.

Russian Aerospace Forces are reportedly planning to purchase five S-500 complexes up to the year 2020. The S-500 complexes are going to be integrated into the A-135 (and successive A-235) Moscow air defense system.

Russia’s newest S-500 Prometheus mobile air and space defense complex is expected to enter service this year.
