You would think that the Russians wouldn’t use such a sophisticated platform to drop dumb bombs.
I think I recall the Russians believe in making sure the dumb bombs work with everything because they believe wars will last longer than the stockpiles of smart weapons can last.
Also, they have tons of stockpiles left from soviet times, so better make use of them while smart munition production ramps up.
The War Zone trying to push a David vs. Goliath narrative. Apparently Ukraine's air force has gained tons of valuable experience in the last few years but the same logic doesn't seems to apply to Russia's experience in Syria.
Western ideological narratives are incapable of giving any credit to non-western aligned groups, but as the Taliban demonstrated the actual state of capabilities is quite a ways different than what said narratives are pushing.
MC-21 plane with Russian-made composite wing performs first flight
According to Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov, the share of composite materials in the MC-21 plane is about 40%, which is the record high for planes of this class
MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. The newest Russian MC-21 passenger plane with a domestically-designed composite wing carried out its first flight, Rostec press office announced Saturday.
"Today, the MC-21-300 plane with a wing produced from Russian-made polymer composite materials has performed its first flight. The plane took off from the Irkutsk Aviation Plant airstrip. The flight proceeded as planned," the company said.
The domestic materials for the wing’s bearing frame were developed in cooperation between Rosatom, Moscow State University scientists and aviation industry specialists.
According to Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov, the share of composite materials in the MC-21 plane is about 40%, which is the record high for planes of this class.
"The use of sturdy and lightweight composite materials made it possible to develop a wing with unique aerodynamic parameters, impossible for a metal wing. The improved aerodynamic made it possible to widen the MC-21 body and make the cabin wider, providing better comfort to the passengers," Chemezov said.
Generalissimus Suvorov Borey-A-class submarine to reinforce Russia’s Pacific Fleet
Navy commander Nikolay Yevmenov underscored that Russia has not commissioned this many submarine cruisers since 1991MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. The second Borey-A-class submarine Generalissimus Suvorov will reinforce the nuclear submarine group of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, Navy commander Nikolay Yevmenov said during the submarine launch ceremony at the Sevmash shipyard.
"This is our strategic argument. Nuclear submarine cruisers protect our country. […] I hope that the ‘Knyaz’ [submarine] family will accept the Generalissimus Suvorov as well. This submarine cruiser is planned to reinforce the Pacific Fleet submarine group," Yevmenov said.
The commander underscored that Russia has not commissioned this many submarine cruisers since 1991.
"We have a rather large commissioning plan for next year. I believe Sevmash will not let us down," he added.
The Generalissimus Suvorov was launched at Sevmash Saturday. The vent was attended by the Navy command, authority and industry representatives.
The submarine was laid down on December 26, 2014. The lead ship - the Knyaz Vladimir - was commissioned by Sevmash on June 12, 2020. The first serial submarine, the Knyaz Oleg was commissioned on December 21, 2021.
