Russians confirmed that one Su-35S was destroyed in the Kursk sector. According to Ukrainian sources the Russian plane was downed by a F-16.

It is likel that Ukrainian F-16 fighters are already aided by type ASC890 surveillance crafts. Sweden announced to transfer two planes of that AEW&C type back in 2024. Its radar can track targets up to 400 km (250 miles) away.

In the Russian Federation, a material titled "Results of Research Tests of the BMP 'Bradley' M2A2 ODS SA (USA)" was published. The authors are Mushin A.V., Konyuchenko V.V., 38th Research Institute. Without delving into the details and accuracy of the figures provided by the authors, as well as the superficial nature of their comparison, I will cite several excerpts:
The BMP M2A2 ODS SA surpasses the BMP-3 in terms of projectile and bullet resistance.
In terms of mine protection, it exceeds the BMP-3 due to two aluminum and steel sheets installed on the hull bottom, an internally mounted anti-mine polymer mat, and shock-absorbing troop seats.
The side projection provides protection against a 30-mm projectile from the 3UBR6 round but does not protect against a 30-mm projectile from the 3UBR8 round.
The frontal projection provides protection against a 30-mm projectile from the 3UBR8 round, which exceeds the protection level of the BMP-3’s frontal projection.
The frontal projection with dynamic armor (ERA) blocks provides protection against cumulative grenades such as PG-9VS and PG-7VL.
The side projection with ERA blocks provides protection against cumulative grenades like PG-9VS but does not protect against grenades like PG-7VL.
The BMP M2A2 ODS SA surpasses the BMP-3 in firepower due to:
The accuracy of the 25-mm M242 automatic cannon, which is twice that of the 30-mm 2A42 and 2A72 automatic cannons, increasing the effective firing range.
The armor-piercing capability of the 25-mm APFSDS (armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot) round, which is twice that of the 30-mm APS round from the 3UBR8.
The BMP M2A2 ODS SA surpasses the BMP-3 in operational and technical characteristics due to:
The ability to access the combat compartment from the troop compartment.
Better repairability of the power unit, generator, combat compartment, and cannon barrel.
Reduced duration of technical maintenance for key components and assemblies due to easier access.
Reduced time and labor intensity for replacing key components and assemblies.
The BMP M2A2 ODS SA is inferior to the BMP-3 in terms of mobility, range, off-road capability, and the ability to ford water obstacles afloat.
The BMP M2A2 ODS SA surpasses the BMP-3 in ergonomic characteristics due to:
A larger armored volume, the presence of a ramp in the troop compartment, and the absence of structural elements between the commander’s and gunner’s workstations that hinder free movement of the crew from the combat compartment to the troop compartment.
Recommendations
Design solutions recommended for implementation in domestic serial and prospective armored combat vehicle models:
In terms of protection:
Use of protective screens, including in the frontal area, and ready-to-use ATGM (anti-tank guided missile) launchers.
Use of a commander’s protective cabin with armored glass for march operations (observation).
In terms of firepower:
Inclusion of the domestically produced 30-mm 3UBR8 round with an armor-piercing sub-caliber projectile in the ammunition load.
Development of a round with an armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) projectile for 30-mm automatic cannons.
Development of a 30-mm automatic cannon with improved accuracy and armor-piercing characteristics, ensuring guaranteed defeat of BMPs like the M2A2 ODS SA (M2A3), incorporating design features found in foreign automatic cannons (e.g., barrel stiffening ribs).

MC-21 and SJ-100 to Conduct First Flights in Import-Substituted Versions in the First Half of the Year

“The first flights of fully import-substituted MC-21 aircraft with the PD-14 engine and SJ-100 with the PD-8 engine are planned for the first half of the year. Following this, certification flight tests will begin,” said Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov during a presidium meeting.

He also noted that 13 serial-production MC-21 aircraft are currently in various stages of manufacturing. Airframes for nine of them are complete and awaiting system installation, while four are in the aggregate assembly phase.

Turkish defense company Baykar successfully conducted a cruise test of the AI-powered KEMANKEŞ 1 loitering munition using the Bayraktar TB2 UAV.

KEMANKEŞ 1, a mini intelligent cruise missile developed by Baykar, is designed for operations against strategic targets. Equipped with an Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Optical Guidance System, it ensures precise target identification and engagement, even in challenging environments. Additionally, the system is capable of operating both day and night and features Anti-jamming technology, making it resilient against electronic interference attempts.
