I talked about the ABM launch. But I said it was the 53T6M when it seems it was Nudol (post #9,447).

Yes, Russia has done a bunch of satellite launches this year. They launched more government satellites than any year in the past decade. They seem to have solved the issues with production of satellite components after the Western sanctions on space grade semiconductors in 2014.

What about Optical and electronic intelligence Satellite. I expect they should launch more.

The notion that Maxar actually have more Satellite than Russia atm is kinda something that needs rectifying.

China has lot of them, I am sure in exchange for the early warning data sharing they are happy to give everything that Russia wants to them.


Appart fromthe Chinese mainland pictures, so the Russian satelites most likelly used to spy on China. For everything else there are the Chiense satelites : D

The range of the variant 210 and 310 is how many km?
There is still the 400 variant in development, what is the stipulated range?
the -210 model will likely be cancelled and the superjet-130 with ~130-140 seats will be created using a PD-10 engine. The reason for this is due to lack of orders for the -210 and also because the fuel efficiency will be better from a stretched superjet plane as it is narrower.

I dont see any saberlets (winglets) on MS-21. on SSJ it provide 4% fuel efficiency.
it will take few years for all the subsystems recertified.

connection between a turbine and aviation. expect bigger turbines with bigger engines.
There is less of a need for winglets as the wings are high bypass composite wings so they already have much better aerodynamics than the aluminium wings on the superjet 100.

The Kurgan Machine-Building Plant increased the production of military equipment for the Russian army. The production of amphibious armored personnel carriers BTR-MDM "Rakushka" and armored vehicles BMP-3 has been increased. The BTR-MDM amphibious armored personnel carrier was created on the basis of the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle and was first shown in 2015. One of the main advantages of the BTR-MDM is its versatility. The body of the vehicle is made of welded armor plates. The car weighing 13.2 tons received an engine with a capacity of 500 horsepower. The BTR-MDM can carry two 7.62mm PKTM machine guns. The crew of the armored vehicle is 2 people and up to 13 landing people. Now the Kurgan Machine-Building Plant, and other plants in Russia, have switched to a 12-hour working day, some shops have begun to work almost around the clock. Russia is gradually embarking on a military mobilization mode of operation.

I would love tho if T-15 Armata also see more production. with all the siege warfare around in SMO's i feel Heavy APC/IFV in class of Namer and T-15 would be more important. as it ensure enough survivability and firepower to be available to the assaulting team.
