The Russian military received massive numbers of new equipment in 2016



The Russian military received a sweeping array of new weapons last year, including 41 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the wide-ranging military modernization will continue this year, the defense minister said on Wednesday. This was despite economic downturn and sanctions for the annexation of the Crimean peninsula.

Minister Sergei Shoigu told lawmakers the air force received 170 new aircraft, the Army received 905 tanks and other armored vehicles while the Navy received 17 new ships last year.

The rising number of new weapons has raised demands for new personnel. Shoigu said the military currently needs 1,300 more pilots and will recruit them by 2018.

As part of President Vladimir Putin's military reforms, the armed forces have received new weapons and now engage in regular large-scale drills.

Russia has also used its revived military capability in Syria, where it has launched an air campaign in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad and used the conflict to test its new weapons for the first time in combat.

The weapons modernization effort has seen the 1-million Russian military narrow the technological gap in some areas where Russia had fallen behind the West, such as long-range conventional weapons, communications and drone technologies.

The minister also said the military will complete the formation of three new divisions in the nation's west and southwest, and also deploy a new division on the Pacific Kuril Islands, which have been claimed by Japan.

905 tanks? Refurbished T-80 and T-72?

China denies increasing troops on North Korean border



BEIJING: China denied on Thursday that it had increased its troop presence on the border with North Korea after the murder of the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Malaysia.

Reports routinely circulate at times of heightened tension on the Korean peninsula of China sending troops to the border, which China always denies.

South Korean and U.S. officials say the North Korean leader's half brother, Kim Jong Nam, was assassinated by North Korean agents. North Korea has not acknowledged his death.

Some Hong Kong media last week reported that China had sent more soldiers to the border after Kim was attacked at Kuala Lumpur airport on Feb. 13.

"As for the reports you mentioned of the People's Liberation Army increasing troops on the Chinese-North Korean border, they are totally baseless and completely fabricated," defence ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang told a monthly news briefing.



He did not elaborate.

Kim had spoken out publicly in the past against his family's dynastic control of the isolated, nuclear-armed state. He had been living in the Chinese territory of Macau under Beijing's protection.

China is reclusive North Korea's most important remaining ally, but China has been angered by its missile and nuclear tests and has signed up for several rounds of U.N. sanctions against North Korea at the same time as pushing for a diplomatic resolution through talks.

China again dismisses reports of military patrols in Afghanistan

BEIJING: China's defence ministry on Thursday dismissed reports Chinese military vehicles were patrolling inside Afghanistan, saying the two countries were only carrying out counter-terrorism operations along their common border.

This month, the Central Asia-Caucasus Analyst think-tank said in a report on its website that Chinese troops were on Afghan soil conducting joint patrols with their Afghan counterparts.

That followed a similar report in an Indian media outlet in November.



Defence ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang said Chinese public security departments had counter-terrorism cooperation along the China-Afghanistan border.

"This is law enforcement bodies from China and Afghanistan, in accordance with a bilateral agreement on strengthening border law enforcement, conducting cooperation along the border so as to jointly carry out counter-terrorism and to fight against cross-border crime," Ren told a monthly news briefing.

"Reports in foreign media of Chinese military vehicles patrolling inside Afghanistan do not accord with the facts," he added, largely repeating a similar ministry statement from November.



China and Afghanistan share a 76-km (50 mile) stretch of border in a remote, mountainous corner of central Asia.

China has long been concerned that instability in Afghanistan could spill over into the violence-prone Xinjiang region in china's far west, home to the Muslim Uighur people, where hundreds of people have died in recent years in unrest blamed by China on Islamist militants.

China has also worked with Pakistan and the United States to broker peace talks to end Afghanistan's Taliban insurgency that has raged there for 15 years.

Engineering Singapore's Defence – It's Better Together - Littoral Mission Vessel




It took 6 years of planning, testing and construction; 400 hours of modelling and simulation; 1,700 hours of interviews and studies for the Littoral Mission Vessel (LMV) to become a reality!

Highly flexible and capable the LMV is designed to help the Republic of Singapore Navy conduct a wider range of missions.

Watch the video and see how the LMV changes the way sailors operate a ship.

heck, even up-armored GAZ Tigr-M would also qualify in this category.

no current in service naval vessel has the same design as the one China showcased. heck, no one holds the patent for trimaran vessel.

mungkin dia nk kata sbb stabiliti kot...?
tp PT91 mmg has the lowest silhouette amongst modern MBTs

i am very much aware of that. but this guy was saying the China copied the trimaran design from somebody else. no one holds the patent from trimaran ships. it's not about copying, rather the trend of naval vessel designs

Typical t72 design mah..
In fact, t90 is lower than most western tanks

LMV is jointly designed by ST marine and Saab... it was derived from saab FlexPatrol

RSN LMV will have much better capability than our RMN LMS .... even better than our Kedah class. our LMS more like large gun boot.
unless we have money get Gowind 1000 version ....
my view RSN LMV have 80%++ same design with Gowind corvette design philosophy
