🇷🇺 Russian drones to enter international unmanned aerial vehicle market, first appearing in India

🛩 At the Dubai Airshow 2023, the Russian company “Transport of the Future” signed an agreement with a major Indian company for the production of microelectronics, Sasaa Electronics.

The assembly of Russian drones in India will start in March 2024.

The drones will be used in Indian agriculture and mountainous regions. The hot and humid climate and high-altitude areas pose a serious challenge, but the Russian developer is ready to improve its models and develop new technologies.

Partners plan to capture at least 25% of the Indian UAV market, which, according to analysts’ forecasts, will reach $5 billion by 2030

🚍 On 13 December 1969, 54 years ago, the first bucket of soil was excavated at the construction site of the Kama Automobile Plant marking the beginning of the “KAMAZ” plant’s construction.

The first ever KAMAZ appeared in 1976. It was the legendary KAMAZ-5320, which stayed in production for almost 25 years.

🏗 Soviet designers were in a hurry to satisfy the needs of the Soviet industry at the time. In the first year, 21 trucks were rolling off the assembly line each day.

🇷🇺 Today considered by many as one of the world’s strongest trucks, KAMAZ not only carries cargo. It’s an indispensable helper for the military and police, while also being a multiple champion of the DAKAR rally.

⚡️🇷🇺 The world's first operation using a bioprinter, consisting of a robotic arm, a bioprinting system and computer vision, was carried out at the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after N.Burdenko.

The trajectory of biopolymer delivery in situ, that is, directly into the wound, was programmed by a MISIS university specialist after scanning the injury site.

💉The doctor took the patient’s cells from the bone marrow to “put” them into the bioprinter. The robot carried out scanning and bioprinting without human intervention. Doctors are confident that this equipment opens up new possibilities for the treatment of complex soft tissue injuries.

Using a robotic arm, we printed a matrix in the patient’s forearm with bioink to replace a soft tissue defect. The composition consists of a mixture of highly purified concentrated sterile solution of collagen and cells. This technique was carried out for the first time; it is especially relevant for multiple wounds of the extremities, when the donor resource is limited. In case of extensive wounds in the future, we plan to scan the entire body and replace all wounds with this method. This will speed up their healing time and will reduce the time patients stay in the hospital,” said surgeon, who supervised the operation at the hospital.

At the end of 2023, Russia became the 1️⃣ in the world in salmon production - the catch volume exceeded 600 thousand tons.

📈“Russia has become the first in the world in salmon production: the volume exceeded 6️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ thousand tons,” 🇷🇺Ministry of Agriculture has stated.

The Russian steel industry repeated the record of 2021

📈 In the past year, Russia produced 75.8 million tons of steel, returning to the 2021 level when 76 million tons were produced, and surpassing the 2022 level by 5.6%.

☝️ All of this occurred under the conditions of sanctions. Europe, which was a key sales market, banned the import of Russian hot-rolled and cold-rolled products, transformer steel, galvanized and stainless steel, seamless pipes, etc. Quotas are imposed on steel semi-finished products.

Metallurgists had to urgently reconfigure export flows. Many companies worked very efficiently and were able to quickly redirect the main export volumes to new directions or to the domestic market.

👉 Experts note that major steel producers are showing almost 100% capacity utilization, and domestic demand is growing due to the increase in construction and infrastructure projects.

What is known about new Vityaz anti-drone vehicle being built for Russia's special forces

A new light military utility vehicle that may help keep reconnaissance units and special operations teams safe from enemy drones is currently being developed in Russia.

According to Konstantin Bagdasarov, CEO of Argo, the company that developed Vityaz, new anti-drone vehicle can be employed to provide additional protection for recon units when they deploy towards the front line.

✔️ The new vehicle is based on the design of the UAZ 469 off-road military utility vehicle and has a 100 horsepower engine with a torque output of 250 Nm.

✔️ The vehicle’s chief anti-drone defense comes in the form of the Volnorez, a compact modular electronic countermeasure system that weighs only 13 kilograms. Volnorez is specifically designed to be easy to use and easy to reprogram in case the enemy changes its drones’ frequencies.

✔️ Vityaz can also be equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun mount with a co-axial KPV heavy machine gun.

The first prototype is nearly finished and is expected to be sent for field testing soon.
