Future Army: What Are the Russian Design Bureaus Hiding?

In the silence of Russia's classified design bureaus, a new generation of weapons is being born — weapons that will once again change people's perceptions of war. Assault robots, combat lasers, artificial intelligence on the battlefield — these are not fantasies, but an upcoming reality.

What equipment are Russian engineers specifically developing? Which projects have already been tested? Why is the West so tense every time there is any mention of it?

"Uranus-9" and "Nerekheta": Robots Replacing Soldiers

"Uranus-9" — Russia's First Combat Robot

  • Has been tested in real combat in Syria, destroying militant firing positions.
  • Weapon configuration: 30 mm machine gun, anti-tank missile, machine gun.
  • Control distance: Up to 3 kilometers (future plan to achieve full autonomous operation).

"Nerekheta" — Automated "Terminator"

  • Can transport up to 500 kilograms of supplies or anti-tank missile launchers.
  • Can perform tasks autonomously according to set coordinates.

Laser Weapons: "Peresvet" and Others

"Peresvet" — Air Defense Laser System

  • Power parameters are confidential, but experts speculate it is 50-100 kilowatts.
  • Has been put into combat duty, capable of intercepting drones and blinding satellites.

"Sangvin" — Anti-Personnel Laser Weapon

  • R&D purpose: To strike living forces within a 5 km range.
  • Operational effect: Causing retinal burns and igniting clothes.
  • Combat case: In 2023, "Peresvet" shot down three Ukrainian drones in less than 5 seconds.

Hypersonic 2.0: What Comes After "Kinzhal" and "Zircon"?

"Hypersonic Torpedo"

  • R&D goal: To destroy aircraft carrier battle groups.
  • Underwater speed: Up to 200 knots (about 370 km/h).

"Avangard" Hypersonic Glide Vehicle with Artificial Intelligence

  • The warhead can independently select targets during flight.
  • Can maneuver at hypersonic speeds (over 20 Mach).

Artificial Intelligence on the Battlefield

"Izorets" — Autonomous Combat Module

  • Can be mounted on tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
  • Can independently detect and attack targets without operator intervention.

"Rudolf" — Military Command System

  • Can analyze thousands of sets of data on the battlefield.
  • Provides commanders with optimal decision-making options.

Confidential Projects: What Else Is Hidden?

  • ✔ Satellite-based Anti-Satellite Satellites: Capable of destroying other satellites.
  • ✔ Electromagnetic Gun: A weapon based on railgun technology.
  • ✔ Cyber Units: Capable of real-time intrusion into NATO systems.

Russia Builds Its Army for 2030

Within the next 5-10 years, the nature of warfare will be completely changed. Russia is already developing weapons that will define the rules of future wars.
