Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has announced that tests of new cutting edge cruise missiles have been successfully conducted in Syria using Su-57 jets.

A video of an Su-57 jet fighter allegedly launching a Kh-59 Ovod (NATO reporting name: AS-13 "Kingbolt") cruise missile has surfaced on YouTube. The War Zone media outlet claims the projectile was the Kh-59MK2, a modification of the Ovod air-to-surface missile, equipped with an inertial guidance system and a bunker buster or cluster warhead. On May 25, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu reported about the successful field tests of the cutting-edge Su-57 jet fighter, as well as new missiles, in Syria.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
