T-90 Receives \"Arena-M\" Against Kamikaze Drones, \"Geraniums\" Become Wooden: Russia Improves Characteristics of Popular Weapons

Successes in UAV development will also be useful in civilian sectors of the economy

Over the past three years, Russia has been able to significantly improve the characteristics of popular weapons. This was stated by the Chairman of the Russian Historical Society, Sergei Naryshkin.

Over the past three years, our country has not only managed to expand the production of popular weapons, but also significantly improve their characteristics.

According to him, successes in the development of domestic unmanned aerial systems, robotic complexes and new materials will be used in civilian sectors of the domestic economy.

A few days ago, Rosoboronexport began testing the Arena-M active protection system (APS) on the latest T-90M tanks against shells and kamikaze drones. The Arena-M includes a radar station with high noise immunity, an onboard computer and special ammunition installed in the mines around the perimeter of the tank turret.

It also became known that long-range Geran-2 drones began to be made with wooden body fragments to reduce radar visibility.

In addition, Russia has achieved significant success in the development of military and civil aviation. The latest Su-57 fifth-generation stealth fighter, as well as the first flight with domestic PD-8 engines, attracted the attention of foreign customers, the Superjet SJ-100 airliner made.

All this demonstrates the success of domestic industry in the face of sanctions pressure.
