I think Russian are going to use TU-160M in high end conflict as an AWACS. they have more fuel efficient and uprated engines. almost twice the power of A-100. slow low altitude AWACS will have hard time to be relevant.
The basic technology behind missiles like R-37 is from 1980s. now Russian are going to deploy what they called 5G and 6G missiles.
the rest of in between capabilities are covered with satellites, fighters, attack helicopters and drones.
the radar and engine power for this Forpost is too small but still capable of finding targets and transmitting targets as far as use of Kalibr missiles. this compactness and lightness of system.

Can you go in more detail about 5G and 6G missiles? I could not find any information on this online? Is this a successor to the R-37M?

it was one of the Arabic side broad cast not the main stream. mentioning next generation of ultra long range missiles.
around same time when Russia introduced this missile for Su-57. Russia only has publicly admitted 5G missile for short range and they may not even show to give surprize.
The news gives you enough hint about direction of production and importance of each weopon system like in 2024 they are still increasing Ka-52M production and so highly likely it is the main weopon system.

The "Tersanat Al Watan" magazine reported that the Su-57 fighters will be equipped with the fifth-generation short-range RVV-MD2 missiles, which are 10 to 15 years ahead of American design

2050 Naval strategy. I dont see place for Aircraft carrier yet. Vulnerability of Carriers mentioned.
Emphasis on hypersonic, unmanned and interfering with ports. this the long arm of recon and strike complex. every thing connected with Satellites. Russia may have existing labor resources that it dont want to displace and whose skills are based around carriers like Kuzentov and Viki.

Radical changes await the Russian Navy​

For the first time in modern history, Russia has approved a strategy for the development of the Navy. The document provides for the main directions for improving the type of troops up to 2050. According to experts, such a measure is designed to increase the effectiveness of the army, as well as adapt the fleet to the challenges of modern times. What will be the focus of the transformation of the naval forces?

Another point concerns shipbuilding and the modernization of shipbuilding facilities. "Multi-purpose submarines are being regularly commissioned. But it is also important to specify which ships the Navy needs," the source explained. The document probably also affects the composition of the FSB coast guard, because in the event of hostilities, all these boats come under the leadership of the Navy.

"It is possible to install more powerful weapons on vessels of this category, which need a lot in all our areas of water borders," the speaker stressed. In his opinion, special attention will be paid to the development of unmanned systems: surface, underwater and aerial. The expert recalled that regiments of unmanned systems are already being created as part of the Navy. Naval aviation should also develop.,
According to the analyst, the determining factors in the evolution of the Russian fleet will be hypersonic weapons and unmanned systems, both aviation and sea–based. Against this background, it is not worth trying to predict how many aircraft carriers will be in the Navy. "Perhaps none, and this will turn out to be our advantage," Anpilogov admitted.


"At the beginning of the 20th century, those countries that stopped building outdated battleships and focused on the production of battleships found themselves in an advantageous position. The First World War showed the demand for completely different classes of naval weapons, in particular high-speed destroyers," the expert explained.

"Today, aircraft carrier strike groups, which were previously fought against with the help of a powerful navy, are vulnerable to the actions of drones and anti-ship complexes. A vivid example of this is the confrontation between the Americans and the Houthis," the source said. It is also necessary to rethink the role of heavy missile boats.
He also noted that the main military tasks of the Navy, even in 2050, will remain the same: among them – domination of the sea, blockade of the enemy coast, protection of the country's trade. "But it is possible to transform the solution of these tasks. For example, it is now possible to interfere with the activities of the enemy's ports with the help of a backup system," the analyst added.

Vladimir Putin held a meeting on the strategy for the development of the Navy until 2050​

At the same time, all these systems operating in the air, underwater, and on the sea surface must be closely integrated into a single reconnaissance and strike contour and connected to our satellite constellation.
