Russia defence & technology updates

Quality> Quantity.
UP population unless it is educated, will be useless to the country.
Just like the chooslims who want to increase headcount without any plan on how to feed, educate or develop that child

We could just export some UP walas/walis there. The rest they will take care . Russian ethnographers actually suggested this move long back; many of them studied saying that Indians make logical sense to mix with Ruskies as we are genetically much closer and we are family-oriented like older generation of Russians. Let me see if I can find a study; it was by a woman expert from Russia... some Arbatova long ago.

You have to visit the place and see how bad it is. With 70% Russkies sitting in European Russia, the entire Eastern side is empty. I have traveled far and wide across Russia due to the nature of my work and I can tell you that there are thousands of miles of places there where you won't see a single human soul.

Before my work, I used to think Sikkim was empty when compared to Delhi, Chandigarh, etc. where I spent a lot of my childhood). Russian East takes personal space to another level!

As for quality, Russia has excellent educational institutions that can easily handle a lot of population. My youngest cousin brother finished his graduation from Arkhangelsk (he was aiming for Moscow's Lomonosov, but that's heavy competition like IITs) and said that the university can actually handle far more with a good growth plan. Mostly foreigners come there to study, especially from our country, China, the -stans, African nations, Vietnamese, Burmese, Cubans, etc.

Basically, they need to do 2 things:

1) Get their manpower up
2) Adopt a more oligarch-free ecosystem. I don't see Putin doing it but hopefully the strongman he appoints to succeed should try to turn it into something like a Singapore.

Russian Far East is already opening up for serious foreign investments.

This is the place where Russia wants to create free trade zones, isn't it? There was a lot of buzz in 2018-19 about Indian companies expanding investment footprint in the Russian Far East. since Vladivostok serves as a major port, access to the sea shouldn't be a problem for companies setting up shop in that area.

I did here that the Russian military couldn't build big ships so they needed a dry dock. Perhaps they can thank close ties with China that allowed the dry dock along with fancy new cranes to appear so quickly.

Most Russian men are genetically ydna haplogroup R1a, thus the same ancient family as most Indian, Pakistani, Afghan and Ukrainian men. I guess it is possible the Russians would like to bring their half brothers West and North to lands and women the Russians captured.
Of course it is China and Russia who are now "closer than allies" and working together on military projects. More likely Chinese companies will go to Russia. Giving entry to the companies and men allied against your ally wouldn't be good for your ally. Think the don't buy Chinese products campaigns.

Since that Quad thing, Indians and Indian companies will probably be looking at trying to get into Australia and the USA.

In rare event, Russian submarine collided with UK warship as it towed array sonar

In a rare event, a Russian submarine, which was being tracked by a UK naval warship on patrol in the North Atlantic over a year ago, had hit a sonar the vessel it was towing, said the UK Ministry of Defence.

In a statement on Thursday, a UK Ministry of Defence spokesperson said, "In late 2020, a Russian submarine being tracked by HMS Northumberland came into contact with her towed array sonar."

The statement said, "The Royal Navy regularly tracks foreign ships and submarines in order to ensure the defence of the United Kingdom."

A towed array sonar is a sensor, which is spooled out by a ship on deployment.

The HMS Northumberland had carried out a "vital mission to protect UK waters and the nation's nuclear deterrent" in 2020, as per the British Royal Navy.

Meanwhile, Russian President Putin had earlier inaugurated the building of new nuclear submarines and other warships as part of a broad military modernisation effort amid tensions with the West.

The event, which is a mix of war drills and an arms display, was intended to highlight Russian military weapons and lure foreign buyers. King Abdullah II of Jordan, for example, was among those present.

Yeah

I personally feel that India should adopt nuclear battle cruisers mixed with the existing carrier fleet (after INS Vikrant). CBGs are what make carriers effective and we are not going colonizing like ever. The Soviet doctrine of having floating fortresses were to rain hell on US Navy's CBGs and they worked throughout the Cold War.

If we could take the know-how from Russians, we could make a more modernized version of a Kirov class-style cruiser. Instead of naval artillery, they can be replaced with the upcoming hyperosonic BrahMos. 3 battle cruisers + 2 carriers would make our navy a mean fighting machine for the next 3-4 decades. PLAN won't be messing around if we could operate shit like that.

Yeah Agreed. Anyways we could consider Lider class Destroyers for this? Anyways I know for one thing that if in a hypothetical scenario we are able to build 1-2 lider class Destroyers than 1-2 will be enough to Decimate whole Pakistani Navy.

We could consider buying these From Russia or we could just buy the design for These ships from Russia and build them in our own shipyards (I don't if our Shipyards will be big enough for it) or we could just design our own.

First thing why do we need Russia in p18
We can build a better design with the expertise we have gained from our shipbuilding
We should come out of the thinking of let's buying something be it design structure or electronics, where we have enough capability to do better
Even Kolkata-class destroyers were based on Russian design, we don't need anymore
Lider class maybe very good but we have to see our needs and requirements depending on it build ships
Maybe we might like lider then better design yourself than Russian help
Just saying generally not against u, sorry if I am rude

No problem you are in No way rude to me, thanks for the reply. I understand now.

A joint exercise of air defense units and air crews of the Central Military District took place in the Sverdlovsk Region.
During the exercise, the crews of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems marched to the areas where combat training tasks were performed.

A battalion of Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile systems has arrived in Voronezh, including 6 launch vehicles.

[Super Flanker]

US State Dept spokesperson says Russia selling S-400 system to India reflects the destabilising role Russia plays in the region & beyond. Says US has not yet decided on CAATSA sanctions on India. US keeping options to threaten India at a time of their choosing?

Personal Note : I am glad that we didn't come Under pressure from US.

MiG-31 Foxhound: Russia's top-tier interceptor. When MiG-31's "BM" variant entered service in 2009, Russian sources claimed that its Zaslon-M radar and AA-13 "Axehead" AAM combo could engage ballistic missiles "in flight"! Eat your heart out S-400.#avgeeks #aviation #Russia

Looks like two 40V6M universal mobile masts and over a dozen S-300/S-400 canister reloads on a train somewhere in Russia, happy to be corrected though

Developers of the robot cosmonaut "Fedor". We have started testing the autonomous security robot "Marker". The Marker robotic platform began to be tested at the Russian Vostochny Cosmodrome. During the run-in of the security robot, autonomous patrolling of security routes, identification and interception of violators, counteraction to terrorist attacks and the fight against drones are practiced.

The upgraded Tu-160M strategic bomber will become the world's first aircraft with reverse launch missiles. He will be able to hit the enemy "behind his back". This was told to journalists by a source in the aircraft industry. As specified, the Tu-160M strategic bomber built from scratch made its first flight only on January 12, 2022, it lasted 30 minutes.

 

[Soldier355]

Uralvagonzavod specialists will begin live firing tests of the newest heavy assault robot, created on the basis of the T-72 tank chassis, in April. In case of successful testing, the heavy combat robot will be promptly adopted by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and put into mass production. It is reported that the "Assault" is a robotic complex that includes several machines.

Question. What good will come out of it? It will surely reduce range of the missiles.
