Russian Pacific Fleet to receive new 636.3-project diesel-electric submarines in 2019
The Volkhov and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky 636.3-project diesel-electric submarines will be introduced in the Pacific Fleet in 2019.
The third-generation submarines are fitted with a complex of modern high-precision missile armament. These submarines exceed their 636-project predecessors in many characteristics.
The Varshavyanka-class (Project 636.3) is an improved version of Kilo-class submarines that features advanced stealth technology, extended combat range and the ability to strike land, surface and underwater targets.
Russia currently has five Project 636.3 vessels commissioned into service with the Black Sea Fleet. While in the eastern Mediterranean Rostov-Na-Donu notably fired 3M14 Kalibr land attack cruise missiles at targets in Syria.

The Tupolev PAK DA (or PAK-DA) is a proposed Russian next-generation strategic bomber being developed by the Tupolev Design Bureau. The PAK DA acronym (ПАК ДА in Russian) stands for perspektivnyi aviatsionnyi kompleks dal'ney aviatsii literally meaning "prospective aviation complex for long-range aviation". The PAK DA was planned to be a new stealth strategic bomber and is expected to enter service in 2025–30, with the first aircraft previously planned for delivery in 2020, but delivery will now allegedly occur some time beyond 2023. Some of the technology and components from the PAK DA will be derived from existing aircraft. The current engine is a non-afterburning variant of the NK-32 used on the Tu-160, certain avionics such as the radar will be based on those developed for the PAK FA project. A 2016 report mentions an expected 30-ton weapons payload, a range of 6,740 nautical miles, the first flight in 2021 and deliveries in 2023. On 1 March 2017, it was reported that the first full-scale model of the PAK DA was built, amongst various smaller-scale ones of various configurations, while confirming that its form is that of a flying wing and that emphasis has been put on the Low-Observability (Stealth) characteristics of the aircraft.

not really news Timepass, we have known about the Pak Da program but have yet to actually see it. even the video you posted is concept art.

Ka-52K undertakes sea trials
The Kamov Ka-52K naval attack helicopter has completed a first phase of testing in marine conditions.
Two Ka-52Ks – dedicated maritime versions of the land-based Ka-52 Hokum – were tested from late 2016 until early 2017.
According to Rostec State Corporation, which is responsible for the manufacturer Russian Helicopters, the aircraft used in the trials are now being examined at the Kamov Design Bureau. The design authority will check the airframes and components for wear and tear after the operations in harsh climates.
“Ka-52K helicopters completed the first phase of testing in marine conditions, after which it can be concluded that the machines may be placed on an aircraft cruiser and successfully complete their tasks,” said Vladislav Savelyev, Deputy CEO for Sales at Russian Helicopters.
“The helicopter has unique properties; however, one test in the sea is insufficient for understanding the work of its engines, units, avionics, control and armament systems in maritime climate,” continued Savelyev. “The design bureau will continue its work as part of tests including those on the aircraft cruiser.”
In Russian parlance, an aircraft cruiser describes an aircraft carrier, i.e. the Admiral Kuznetsov. Last year, Ka-52s conducted combat trials over Syria, flying from the carrier in the eastern Mediterranean.
Compared to the land-based Ka-52, the Ka-52K has shorter folding wings which have been redesigned to carry heavy weapons, and a blade-folding mechanism for stowage in the hold. The Ka-52K also incorporates maritime rescue equipment and corrosion-resistant materials. The helicopter has a single-point fuelling system and an upgraded air conditioning system that is integrated with the immersion suits of the two crew members. Other maritime-specific features include a short-range radio navigation system.
