The Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (TsAGI) presented an aerodynamic model of the super heavy four-engine Slon (Elephant) airlifter which is to replace Ruslan An-124, the Zvezda weekly writes.
The third Resonans-N radar will go on combat duty in Novaya Zemlya Archipelago in the Arctic in November. It will detect various ballistic objects, cruise missiles, hypersonic targets and stealth drones in conditions of electronic warfare and natural disturbances, the Army Standard writes.
Belarusian Air Force and Air Defence Troops received their two first Sukhoi Su-30SM (NATO reporting name: Flanker-H) multirole combat aircraft, the country’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) announced on November 13.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is planning to upgrade its Sukhoi Su-30MKI multirole combat aircraft to a cutting-edge standard, according to local media outlets.
Air bombs and missiles will get stealth protection. Special containers have been designed to make them invisible for radars. The munitions will be carried in the containers. Drones will be the first to receive them. Drones are already invisible for radars, but suspended missiles expose them to the adversary, the Izvestia daily writes.
Russia’s first upgraded Tupolev Tu-22M3M strategic missile-carrying bomber performed 18 successful flights as part of its trials by the end of October, a source in the domestic defense ministry told TASS on October 25.
Rosoboronexport actively participates in the Russia-Africa Economic Forum, which takes place in Sochi from 23 to 25 October, and coordinates the participation of Russian defense industry enterprises in it, the arms trader said.
Russia made a step forward in the creation of a new generation of combat aviation. A fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jet and Okhotnik heavy combat drone made the first joint flight led by the jet, the Army Standard said.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is planning to upgrade its Sukhoi Su-30MKI ‘Flanker- H’ multirole combat aircraft and Mil Mi-17-family ‘Hip’ utility helicopters, the military service’s Air Chief Marshal Rakesh Kumar Singh Bhadauria told Indian media on October 4.
Forpost drones and Altius in future will provide guidance for antisubmarine aircraft. They can detect a submarine visually or by radar and transmit the information to the aircraft. Tu-142 armed with antisubmarine weapons will immediately deliver a strike. Experts call it a revolution in the fight against submarines, the Izvestia daily writes.
The Russian Defense Ministry published the footage of a joint flight of Okhotnik combat drone and the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jet. The drone was controlled by the jet. The ministry said such a configuration considerably increases the radar field of the fighter jet. The Military-Industrial Courier writes about the main missions of the new drone.

During the military parade in Beijing, China, which was held during the celebrations marking 70 years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, military unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) of China were showcased among other miliary equipment in a parade. Here is the complete list and analysis of Air Recognition editorial team of these UAVs and drones shown during the military parade in order of appearance, on October 1, 2019.
The Russian army will receive the latest Orlan-30 drone in 2020, which is a new vehicle of Orlan family. It has been tested in Syria and at the Center-2019 strategic maneuvers. The drone is equipped with an electronic system and aiming complex. Experts believe drone engagement in combat conditions will considerably increase the effectiveness of artillery and aviation, the Izvestia daily writes.
The latest tensions in the Gulf were triggered by an attack of two dozen drones and cruise missiles on Saudi oil facilities. The Army Standard online publication writes how dangerous drones are, which tactic they can engage and whether they can be effectively stopped.

The Russian Defense Ministry for the first time demonstrated the footage of joint actions of Su-57 fighter jet and Okhotnik S-70 drone.
The operational link between manned and unmanned craft is a prospective and inevitable development guideline. Russian and foreign experts believe the sixth generation of fighter jets will be fully unmanned or optionally piloted, the Izvestia daily writes.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) has upgraded its Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (NATO reporting name: Fishbed) fighter jets, according to the military service’s official website.
Russia’s aerospace industry is continuing modernizing the Mil Mi-24 (NATO reporting name: Hind) combat-transport rotorcraft, according to the state corporation Rostec.
Northrop Grumman Corporation’s Common Infrared Countermeasure (CIRCM) systems for U.S. Army’s aircraft has entered Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E).
DARPA’s OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics (OFFSET) program envisions future small-unit infantry forces using swarms comprising upwards of 250 unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) and/or unmanned ground systems (UGSs) to accomplish diverse missions in complex urban environments. By leveraging and combining emerging technologies in swarm autonomy and human-swarm teaming, the program seeks to enable rapid development and deployment of breakthrough capabilities.
The overhaul and upgrade of Su-25 assault jets accomplished by the enterprises of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) extend their life cycle and provide new modern combat capabilities. The combat effectiveness of an upgraded Su-25SM3 increased three times, the UAC said.

US national security adviser John Bolton accused Russia of stealing hypersonic technologies. He claimed the Russian hypersonic designs are based on stolen US technologies. Borrowed technologies were the basis of many designs on both sides of the Atlantic during the Cold War. The Izvestia daily offers the story of hypersonic design.
Building specialised machines for use of one particular type of munition, as during the cold war, is way too costly today. So the possibility of using a variety of weapons, both nuclear and non-nuclear, will be envisioned in both cases from the start. The Russian bomber, judging by some data, will have a payload of up to 30 tons, which, in association with a spacious weapons bay must ensure different operational options, including the launch of heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles, plus attachment of different auxiliary equipment for performance of reconnaissance and electronic warfare missions.
