Russia has launched the first 5G satellites. The Russian aerospace company, Bureau 1440, has launched the first 16 satellites of the Rassvet low-orbit constellation into orbit. We previously reported on Bureau 1440, which is developing a Russian equivalent of the Starlink satellite system. The satellites have already been launched into reference orbit and are under the control of Bureau 1440's Mission Control Center. After completing checkout and launching their onboard systems, they will begin their journey to their target orbit. It's worth noting that the Russian military is currently in dire need of 5G satellite communications.
The spacecraft are based on the company's proprietary platform and integrate NTN's 5G communications system. The first customer tests will begin in 2026. A total of more than 250 satellites will be launched into orbit to provide global 24/7 communications coverage. The new-generation spacecraft build on the results of the experimental Rassvet-1 and Rassvet-2 missions, but surpass them in key characteristics. It is expected that these spacecraft will enable Russian residents to access the internet via satellite at speeds of up to 1 Gbps.

The Russian Engineering Troops have adopted the UBIM engineering vehicle. This versatile armored engineering vehicle was developed by Uralvagonzavod and can perform the functions of three engineering vehicles. The UBIM engineering vehicle can serve as an armored repair and recovery vehicle, an engineering obstacle clearing vehicle, and an armored mine-clearing vehicle. The UBIM is designed to recover heavy equipment, clear obstacles, and clear passages through minefields. The vehicle is equipped with enhanced armor and radiation protection modules, a surveillance system with a thermal imager, a television channel, and a laser rangefinder. The armored vehicle is armed with a 12.7mm machine gun, smoke screen systems, and thermal smoke apparatus. The UBIM engineering vehicle is based on the T-90M Proryv tank and has an 1,130-horsepower engine. The vehicle has a top speed of 60 km/h and a cruising range of 500 km. The UBIM accommodates a crew consisting of a commander, a driver-mechanic and three sappers.
