I was hoping for something better like them putting AESA radars on it similar to the ones in the Admiral Gorshkov but way larger. From the looks of it they will just put similar radars to the ones in the Marshal Ustinov.
The Ministry of Defense showed the exercises of the Russian chemical defense troops and the use of the RHM-6 chemical reconnaissance vehicle. The RHM-6 vehicle was created on the chassis of the BTR-80 armored vehicle and entered the army in 2013. The complex of onboard equipment of the machine allows detecting signs of a chemical or biological attack, as well as detecting radiation contamination at a distance of up to 6 kilometers. Meteorological conditions are also monitored, all information is transmitted to the command post. The machine can, with the help of a special device, set flags in the infected area. The main instrument for detecting vapors of toxic and other substances is the device PKhRDD-2B. Armament machine guns KPVT caliber 14.5 mm and PKTM caliber 7.62 mm. Crew car 3 people.
The Gagarin Plant has manufactured and handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defense another batch of fifth-generation Su-57 production aircraft. The plant plans to increase the production and production of such aircraft. The Su-57 fighter made its first flight in 2010, and in 2020 it began to enter the troops. Serial deliveries of the aircraft began only in 2022. By the end of 2024, the Russian Air Force should receive 22 fighters, by 2028 their number in the troops will be increased to 76 aircraft.

There are reports that Delta III-class submarine K-44 Ryazan has been converted to a general purpose SSN, which would mean that Russia has 11 operational SSBNs at this point, the greater part of them post-Cold War Borei-class boats.
Going forward we must also consider the Khabarovsk-class submarines armed with the Poseidon strategic nuclear torpedoes.
If planned orders are fulfilled, we are looking at an eventual force of ten Borei-class SSBNs and four Khabarovsk-class Poseidon carriers, plus K-329 Belgorod.
Also, US only has 14 Ohio-class SSBNs. The other four were converted to SSGNs in the early 2000s.
Russian army receives advanced Ka-52M helicopters — source
The Arsenyevsky aviation plant is fully loaded with production of such helicopters, the source addedMOSCOW, January 4. /TASS/. First upgraded Ka-52M strike and reconnaissance helicopters were delivered to the Russian army and supplies would continue this year, a source in the defense industry told TASS.
"The first Ka-52M [helicopters] have already been turned over to Russian troops. Deliveries of upgraded helicopters will also continue in 2023," the source said. About ten helicopters were supplied for the Russian army aviation, he noted.
The Arsenyevsky aviation plant is fully loaded with production of such helicopters, the source added.
TASS has no official confirmation for this piece of information.
It seems Algerian BE-200. This BE-200 one of priority for new engines.
Curious:
Russian Empire/Soviet Union, while both known to occasionally produce innovative naval designs, only occasionally managed to produce trend-setting designs.
Yet, for some reason, modern Russia - not exactly known for its naval progress - apparently managed to do just that. Because a whole generation of modern 'middle power' heavy strike frigates appear to follow Gorshkov class model of "light guided missile cruisers", defined by a mix of robust, well-rounded multi-role frigate capability (AA, ASW, fire support, cruising operations) topped up by a significant top-level strike package (supersonic/hypersonic ASM - land attack - asroc).
Admittedly, this package doesn't exactly require a genius to come about, but still, it's a very reasonable way for second-tier naval powers to design their major surface combatants.
Other, Aegis/nifca destroyer-centric model is either too expensive for most countries(only US and China realistically do it right), or leaves its user at the complete mercy of redundant Space connectivity/naval AEW provider.

On the subject of Russian naval innovations or trend-setting:
Yasen beat Virginia Block V to the "extended VLS SSGN" configuration. By thirty years if you date from when Severodvinsk was laid down.
Paket-NK ... is this the only anti-torpedo torpedo system actually in fielded service?
And of course there is Zircon....

Russkies can design the frigates that way because the frigates aren’t meant to be out in the oceans for months at a time.
