Big R-77-1 order with an amended shorter link! . http://xn----ctbsbazhbctieai.ru-an.info/новости/вкс-россии-получат-новейшие-ракеты-по-рекордному-контракту/ Interesting as much for the revelation that until now there were not enough to arm all the types capable of using it? K

R-77-1 ever confuse. A tip from the article: active radar range 16.2 nm/30 Km (also in my personal notes the first 2009 batch of R-77-1 for Su-35S was of only 30 missile!And IOC 2016).

Perhaps the longest link by character count I have ever seen. I am not clicking on it for sure. Probably fine. But why risk it? Maybe there is another way to the article?

I think 300 is over the entire duration of the order which may include this story as well. quote: ORIGINAL: KLAB http://zakupki.gov.ru/epz/order/notice/za44/view/common-info.html?regNumber=0173100004515001647 Lasr order was placed on 26th August 2015 for VKS. Based on crude maths from Indian Navy order I got a figure of about 300 from extrapolating what they paid for 40 R-77? Appreciate that that it's a far more complex arrangement than like for like prices in any military contract.

Russia drills near Alaska. https://apnews.com/1f6c6dceba65e893aeeee9dfa814ef8f A bit more on the familiar theme. But the following is interesting: "King said the Navy and Marine Corps will continue to deploy amphibious ready groups with Marine expeditionary units embarked as a “force of presence, not a force to take into high-end combat.”" https://seapowermagazine.org/expeditionary-warfare-director-marines-will-be-sinking-ships-in-future-war/

Greek newspaper Parapolitika reports that Greece will be getting 18 Rafale fighters. The report says a preliminary agreement for the acquisition has been reached. Ten of these fighters will be the F3-R variant built from scratch while the other 8 jets will be second-hand aircraft that will be transferred free to Greece from the French Air Force. http://alert5.com/2020/08/30/greece-getting-18-rafales-8-are-free-from-france/#more-84311 https://www.pagenews.gr/2020/08/29/ellada/rafale-nea-agora-maxitikon-aeroskafon-apo-ti-gallia/

M-109 shooting down cruise missiles! [&o] BQM-167 Air Force target drones served as surrogates for Russian cruise missiles during today’s ABMS on-ramp.WASHINGTON: The Air Force’s second demonstration of its burgeoning Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) today included a series of ‘firsts’ — including enabling rapid detection and destruction of surrogate Russian cruise missiles by linking multiple sensors to multiple shooters in near real-time. Air Force acquisition czar Will Roper told reporters during the same briefing that one of the exercise’s big successes was the shoot-down by a novel hypervelocity projectile of one of the surrogate cruise missiles, played by BQM-167 target drones flying over White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The small projectile, which can fly at Mach 5, was developed by the Navy and the Army, he said, and was launched from an Army M109 Paladin-based 155mm howitzer and a Navy deck gun during the demo. But the “star of the show,” Roper said, was the way data was used to enable the kill chain using both 4G and 5G networking and the cloud to produce a kill chain “that took seconds, not minutes.” He noted that there were some 60 different types of data feeds utilized in the demo. https://breakingdefense.com/2020/09/abms-demo-proves-ai-chops-for-c2/

https://iz.ru/1060712/2020-09-14/v-sukhoputnye-voiska-postupiat-super-pantciri Synopis for those avoiding any websites with Cyrillics is that there is to be another variant of Pantsir SM- the SM-SV. This is the Pantsir SM turret and a new radar mounted on an as yet unspecified tracked carrier to match the mobility, and to accompany S-300SV batteries.
