Russia Showcases Its First Ever Drone Engine



Russia boasts of advanced military technological capabilities. But the country still relies on others for drone engines. According to reports, Moscow had sought Iran's technical help in engines of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. Now Russian defense giant Rostec claims to have developed the country's first ever drone engine.

UIMC's new drone engine is much cheaper

The United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation (UIMC), a unit of Rostec, said Tuesday during an Innovation Day exhibition in Kubinka that it had successfully built a drone engine. Moscow has not been involved in drone engine manufacturing until recently. Russia was buying foreign engines that were "not as good," said UIMC. The production cost of Russia's indigenous engine is just $7,700, much lower than $61,000 it used to pay for foreign drone engines, according to Sputnik News.

UIMC added that a 66-pound engine would allow drones to reach an altitude of up to 6,000 meters. And the quality and reliability of UIMC's engine is higher than many of its foreign counterparts. Drones are being increasingly used in military and civilian applications. UIMC also showcased another innovation: a supercomputer to operate robots and drones.

Russia's new supercomputer can operate ten drones

A spokesman for UIMC said the supercomputer was part of Vologda UAV control complex. It can operate up to 10 drones simultaneously to collect and transmit aerial reconnaissance data. The mobile supercomputer platform uses teraflop-level computing speeds to collect and process information. The supercomputer uses a special silicone-based composition for cooling.

Russia already has smart, laser-guided missiles that it is using against CIA-trained rebels in Syria. And Moscow continues to make progress in drone technology. Recently, Russian design bureau Luch put together a fully-functional 3D printed drone. Luch CEO Michael Shebakpolsky said the 3D printed UAV has already been checked for operability in test flights. Luch developed it in collaboration with Rostec.

doubt so

Too small?

Mmg ade....tp sampai mane rank dia.....position strategik mane yg dia pegang?

Bit confusing...VP clearly said that Indonesia's involvement in KF-X is postponed to free up fund for other armaments

3 mill... that's like a 30 ppl dept... i think its 3 bill

max col. if non-scholar, memang ada gen. melayu yg bkn scholar tapi bkn saja melayu... bukan scholar memang susah dpt 1 bintang... unless you're in charge of special operations once

melayu pandai takan masok military punya... lagipon krn melayu ada risiko terrorism byk masok ke polis atau civil defense masa kecik, jd tak ramai masa ns di tentera... yg sign on regular, byk kurang pandai.. jd tak dapat naik tinggi2

yg tinggi2 tu byk airforce, infantry atau logistik/supply..

Ok bah....tq

i know la... u read my post properly

this guy is not a scholar but he has good academic degrees, his physical fitness and individual soldiering skills are not exceptional.. a few of the course he attend in his late 30 and early 40s he drop out.. cant blame him as most people undertake these courses at a younger age and because he's tied with infantry chances to attend these course is low... but what made this guy so exception is something that cant be graded on paper, his leadership skills.. he's not only a leader in the military but also in the malay muslim community.. last time not many malay regular nco made it beyond warrant officer rank mostly drop out demotivated and demoralized, this guy pushed them to further studies (many join last time for job security due to poor grads in school) even when they couldnt believe in themselves and many promoted after that... among his men he drink n makan together, what he command he would be there too... that's why he's among the colonels that is not a scholar to be made a general... also he wasnt even in charge of any special operations before which is exceptional cause most non-scholar generals are in charge of an special operation before..

after leaving the military this guy is damn flexible.. he was posted to GLC but he ventured out and ran his own venture...

Aiksss baca salah sori

Ini I banyak respek o. Its so easy to just sit on GLC board and collect gaji buta. Berani keluar cari makan sendiri, thats something.

he partnered with peter lim, doing security
i think the company is soverus or something.

Russia Showcases Visual Optical Interference Station for Surface Warships



Russia’s United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation is set to unveil its visual optical interference station, Grach ('Rook' in Russian), which may be mounted on surface warships for their protection during combat operations; it enables ships to conceal an assault landing by using a bright light to “dazzle” enemy combatants and optical devices.

The Grach station is being showcased at the International exhibition “Innovation Day of the Defense Ministry,” which is taking place in the Moscow region on October 5-6.

According to the manufacturer's statement, the Grach station is designed for installation on 2nd class surface ships, including amphibious vehicles, hovercrafts and hydrofoils.

The device is able to suppress visual-optical and electro-optical surveillance and targets enemy monitoring devices with a high-intensity radial light, “dazzling” the enemy. This ensures the protection of ships and personnel as they perform tasks at sea or in a coastal zone.

In fact, it is a powerful non-lethal weapon, which allows ships to perform serious offensive and defensive tasks.

The device doesn't cause an irreversible impact on human eyesight, a representative of the manufacturer told RIA Novosti.

He also added that the company has started the development of a ground version of the device, which will require some slight modifications.



Admiral Sergey Gorshkov Frigate

Meanwhile, the testing of the naval visual optical interference station is scheduled in about two weeks’ time. The device will be installed on an Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate, also known as Project 22350.

Russian Navy Black Sea fleet deploying for 'training drills' in Eastern Mediterranean sea, NATO fears Russian ships heading towards Syrian coast



A Black Sea-based Russian surface action group scrambled to the Eastern Mediterranean —under the guise of drilling in the region — are likely there to provide an air defense bubble to protect Russian fighters striking targets in Syria, according to a Russian press report.

In the last three weeks, several surface combatants have departed the Russian Black Sea headquarters in Sevastopol on the Crimean peninsula for the Mediterranean for an announced series of anti-ship and anti-air drills.

At the time the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) denied the drills had any connection to the Russian build-up of forces in Syria but reports from independent Russian news wire service Interfax-AVN quoted a military source on Friday saying the exercise was to, “test the efficiency of the system protecting the air base near Latakia from air strikes.”

A separate source told The Daily Mail, “ships of the navy’s task force led by the Moskva missile cruiser deployed in the eastern part of the Mediterranean have started taking measures to ensure the aerial defense of the air base near Latakia, where a collection of Russian Air Force fighters has been deployed.”

Russian state controlled media announced on Monday four Russian Navy ships had conducted live anti-surface and anti-air exercises in the region.

Guided missile cruiser and Black Sea flagship Moskva, Krivak-class guided missile frigates Ladny, Pytlivy and Kashin-class frigate Smetlivy “completed firing exercises at marine and air targets using artillery and missile complexes,” read a Black Sea fleet statement to state-controlled wire Sputnik.

In addition to the surface ships, the Russian Navy also deployed a surveillance ship as well as several amphibious ships.

hope to see more malays like him... in sg a bit problem

yg gemuk jadi clerk di saf, yg besar sikit masok civil defense, yg fit dan pandai sikit tapi tak aggressive masok polis, yg fit dan aggressive masok commando, yg lain lain either mp, infantry..

antara sign on byk masok immigration n custom, civil defense... yg pandai punya takan masok uniform punya

so how to find high ranking malay military officer.. yg ishak tu tengok badan dia masa general.. dia tu combat officer bukan service, still can be general walaupon ippt not silver or gold.. hardly you can find any badan besar combat general anymore in the saf but he has something others dont have

a lot of ppl think saf general nerd la, paper general la... but once u know them well, you know they are not just book smart... they follow the israeli model

he's doing a few things...

so much red mongering, this is why i miss the Soviets

seriously though, that vehicle in the picture is not even a Russian BMP (owned or built) . It's a Romanian BMP1, locally built with remote turret. MLI84

Bezanya experience. Israeli troops yang muda pun combat exp banyak. US/UK commandernya experienced also. Bila compare SAF punya General officer - sampai 10 years younger, tiada combat op, susah nak dapat credibility tu.

that's the problem... sg's main objective is to deter aggressors and if challenge they will have to be swift and decisive

as long as there's peace and no conflict, they have done their job.. when people attack without even knowing, it is too late... macam kiram

although no war/direct combat experience their peace time experience can say a lot about them... aceh tsunami it was sg to arrive first what happened to konstrad? christchurch earthquake still saf guards to arrive first, east cost flood who to arrive first?

there're classified info that ppl dont know so dont just write them off saying they are without combat experience... as a unit probably now, as individuals you and i wont know

macam la others a lot of experience... and are those experience still relevant today?
