The Ural NEXT civilian heavy-duty vehicle was converted by factory workers for the needs of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Now this vehicle, originally created for peaceful transportation, can successfully cope with the task of transporting fuel directly to the line of combat contact.

Anti-fragmentation protection has become a necessary element of combat vehicles. The widespread use of drones, light weapons, and artillery makes even modern tanks and infantry fighting vehicles vulnerable to fragments. New technologies, such as multi-layer composite armor materials and active shields, help to significantly reduce the effects of fragment hits, which increases the survivability of crews and increases the chances of successful completion of combat missions.

Earlier www1.ru reported that India plans to buy 140 fifth-generation Su-57 fighters from Russia.
