Kazakhstan's press service published footage of an honor guard of Russian Su-35S fighter jets escorting Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's Airbus A321-211. The escort extended from the Kazakh border to Moscow. The Su-35S were armed with R-77-1 air-to-air missiles. The R-77-1 medium-range missile was adopted by Russia in 1994 and upgraded to the RVV-SD version.
Russian robotic systems, such as the Kurier robotic system with the Ignis laser mine-clearing system, are already being successfully used in Russia's Kursk region. The rapid adoption of this new system by the army is noteworthy. The system has demonstrated high effectiveness in clearing anti-tank and anti-personnel mines from various countries, anti-tank grenade launcher ammunition, projectiles, and portable anti-tank guided missiles. For the first time, engineers demonstrated munitions cleared by the Kurier robot.
