The United Aircraft Corporation delivered the seventh and final batch of new Su-35S multirole fighters to the Russian Aerospace Forces this year. The company reported that this year has been a record for combat aircraft production in Russia. The Su-35S is a 4++ generation fighter, requiring only 500 meters to recover from a spin.
The aircraft is equipped with an N035 Irbis-E passive phased array radar. The Irbis-E radar can detect targets with an effective reflective surface (ERS) of 3 m² at a range of up to 400 km. For example, Ukrainian Flamingo cruise missiles, with an RRS of approximately 0.5-0.7 m², can be detected at a range of approximately 250-300 km. Less visible American Tomahawk missiles with an image intensifier of 0.1-0.2 m² are detected at a distance of 150-200 km.

Russian FPV drones, "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky," controlled via fiber optic cable, are now capable of flying at a range of up to 50-65 km. The drones are abbreviated as "KVN." This means the combat range of these FPV drones is now almost equal to that of artillery systems. It's worth noting that after the introduction of the "KVN" drones, 11 Ukrainian teams announced the development of their own fiber optic drone, with one team completely replicating it. Alexey Chadayev, director of the Ushkuynik Scientific and Production Center, reported on the upgraded "KVN" drones. The increased range was achieved by equipping the drones with new fiber optic coils. The "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" drone can also now operate in standby mode and from ambush positions. Examples of this and combat operations are available on the channel. The drone has been equipped with an electronic target sensor, allowing it to be detonated either from the operator's control panel or upon impact with a target. The Prince Vandal Novgorodsky drone's payload capacity is up to 6 kg, but this is reduced when large fiber optic cable reels are installed. The drones are now also equipped with thermal imaging cameras. According to official information, production of Prince Vandal Novgorodsky drones is approximately 50,000 units per month.

The first footage of Russian Kurier tracked robots in use for engineering purposes. Previously, the Kurier NRTKs were used only for transport and combat missions. The video shows the construction of an embankment crossing over a water obstacle using the Kurier NRTK robotic platform. The Kurier NRTK tracked robot is currently the most widely used in the Russian army.
