Russia has developed a jet drone kamikaze K-5. The prototype of the drone was shown at VDNKh by the Ural company Unmanned Vehicles. The drone is equipped with a turbojet power plant that allows it to reach a maximum speed of 400 km/h and a cruising speed of 200 km/h. The flight range of the drone is 90 km, with a useful mass of 6 кг. Drone components are Russian, except for the engine. The drone is equipped with artificial intelligence and computer vision, it works within the framework of thermal signatures and within the framework of images. It has the ability to adjust the inertial system, which will completely get rid of the use of radio channels. By the end of the year, it is planned to show serial samples of reconnaissance and strike drones.

In Russia, they begin to modernize missiles for MLRS. For the first time, part of the elements from missiles for Russian multiple rocket launcher is planned to be replaced from metal to polymer. Modernization will make it possible to reduce the cost and speed up the production of missiles, make the hull lighter, and the missiles will become more long-range while maintaining the same dimensions. Which MLRS missiles will be upgraded has not yet been reported. Most likely, missiles for the TornadoS MARS, Uragan MRS and Smerch MRLS will be upgraded.
