rst Haval is hardly a luxury brand. It’s owner GWM has established marquee higher and higher than it. The Wey and Tank brands.
Next Pullman guard was the first production car to offer VR10. The Russian communications and Navigation system ties you directly to Russian MOD so that’s not exactly a great selling point as just about all the big players can say the same.
I am sure he is but then I bet he invests in a lot of things.
Haval price is 2 to 3 times higher than Lada. so Haval is luxury brand relative to Lada.
Pullman the long version weighs 5.6 tons when introduced for 2016 but delivery for 2017. so not exactly first to market. when no actual sales delivery status. Aurus long version weighs 7 tons if not more.

During the discussion about the Russian cars the Sevmash launched a Borei-A submarine.


Now the Russian industry pumping out as fast or faster the Yassen and Borei-A submarines than the USA making the Virginias.

Considering that the Borei and the Yassen way more complicated and expensive than the Virginia the USA is in bad situation. Loose/ lost its capability to close/open sea routes.

From what I have read the ship neither had the electronics and radar installed, or even the engines. It was basically an empty shell.
So they claim they can recover the hull once they replace the composite upper structure. But the shipyard is still inspecting the hull.

As long as there is no structural damage caused by the heat, the ship is recoverable.

Performance target is similar to Sukhoi Superjet. higher top speed and altitude. The plane is wider than A320. so extended versions can compete with next Boeing.

Can the plane be sold to Iran?

First S-550 air defense systems enter service in Russia — source

The source described the new system as "an absolutely new and unrivalled mobile system of strategic missile defense"

MOSCOW, December 29. /TASS/. Russia’s new S-550 air defense system has successfully passed state trials and entered combat service, a source close to the Russian defense ministry has told TASS.

"The S-550 air defense system has successfully completed state trials. The first S-550 brigade has entered combat duty," he said.

The source described the new system as "an absolutely new and unrivalled mobile system of strategic missile defense," capable of "hitting spacecraft, ballistic missile reentry vehicles and hypersonic targets at altitudes of tens of thousands of kilometers."

According to the source, the new system becomes a part of Russia's comprehensive missile and air defense, comprised by Pantsir systems (low-altitude), long-range S-350, S-400 and S-500 systems and S-550 (in space).

Official sources have not yet confirmed this information to TASS.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said at the ministry’s conference call on November 9 that at defense industry meetings in Sochi in November Russian President Vladimir Putin had put emphasis on the importance of delivering S-350, S-500 and S-550 air and missile defense systems to the Russian troops.

Head of the Rostec state tech corporation Rostec Sergei Chemezov said at the Dubai Airshow 2021 that the S-550 would feature a longer-range target detection and missile interception capability.

A source close to the Russian Defense Ministry told TASS earlier that the S-550 system was not an attempt to revive an eponymous Soviet-era project, although some unimplemented concepts of it were used while creating the modern version.


Don't want to comment much on this before we get some more information, but this would mean to end the militarization of space, before it even gets started.:eek:

The completely new system has no analogues and is capable of hitting spacecraft, intercontinental ballistic missile warheads, and hypersonic targets at altitudes of several tens of thousands of kilometers.
