the previous exhibition attracted over 132,000 visitors from 65 countries with a total value of contracts signed amounting to6 b350 million idex 2025 covered a wide range of Defense Technologies and systems including weaponry and military equipment for ground forces Air Forces Naval forces and air defense systems this year Russia played an active role in the exhibition the Russian Exposition occupied approximately 1,40 sare met and included 48 organizations and Enterprises from the defense industry among the showcased Innovations the most notable were x69 cruise missile a multi-functional low observable High Precision Next Generation missile x58 anti-radar missile demonstrated
on the international stage for the first time drawing the ATT attention of Specialists super cam S350 unmanned aerial vehicle a Russian drone presented at the exhibition showcasing advancements in unmanned Technologies t90m Pro Riv an export version of the deeply modernized main battle tank presented by uralvagonzavod according to developers this is essentially a new tank with an advanced design idex 2025 featured more than 3,300 cuttingedge defense Technologies including Innovations in Maritime security cyber security and many other areas idex 2025 reaffirmed its status as a leading international platform for showcasing the latest defense Technologies and establishing Partnerships
in the field of defense and security the record number of participants and presented Innovations reflects the growing interest in this event and its importance for the global defense industry now let's move on to the other news rare footage has surfaced online from a secret Iranian military base showing intensive training of fpv drone operators these images appear to have been taken at one of the classified facilities of the Islamic revolutionary guard Corps and reveal how Iran is preparing a new generation of Fighters for modern drone Warfare the footage shows several successful attacks on simulated targets fpv
drones fly at low altitude and strike mock-ups of armored vehicles and fortified positions after each hit Telemetry data appears on the screen recording the accuracy of of the strikes the video confirms that Iran is actively developing tactical fpv drones and training Specialists for their deployment in real Combat scenarios these Technologies could significantly enhance the capabilities of the Iranian armed forces and proxy groups such as Hezbollah and the yemeni huus it is becoming increasingly clear that drone Warfare is an integral part of future conflicts and Nations capable of effectively utilizing fpv drones gain a significant advantage
on the battlefield the British company MSI defense systems has developed the advanced drone interception system Traw Paladin this is a mobile air defense complex designed to protect against unmanned aerial Vehicles cruise missiles and other low-flying threats Paladin is equipped with a 30mm automatic Cannon Mark 44 Bush Master capable of firing up to 200 rounds per minute it uses airburst ammunition allowing it to effectively engage drones at a distance of up to 2 km the system also supports the installation of additional Weaponry including guided missiles with semi-active laser Guidance the detection system includes a radar with
all-around coverage Optical targeting devices a thermal imager and a Laser Rangefinder Paladin can operate both in fully autonomous mode and under operator control thanks to its modular design it can be deployed on both stationary objects and mobile platforms the American Company Overland AI specializing in the development of off-road autonomous systems for the defense sector has created the Innovative overdrive system this artificial intelligence system enables remote operation of ground Vehicles without human intervention through this technology the company aims to enhance the efficiency of ground operations and ensure the safety of military personnel by providing Advanced and
reliable autonomy Solutions for the Armed Forces of the United States and their Partners this reduces risks and acts as a force multiplier integrating with existing command and control systems through an open API the company strives to remove people from high-risk areas by equipping ground vehicles with unmatched off-road mobility and tactical maneuvering capabilities the Chinese have taken military advancements even further they are developing not just Combat Machines but Universal humanoids capable of fully replacing humans on the battlefield in the coming years one such robot is the unry G1 almost everyday new videos emerge showcasing the robot's
progress in various Fields recently the G1 impressed robotics enthusiasts with authentic Kung Fu movements including a spinning kick in the near future such a robot could be used as a universal Soldier and an army of these robots would become an immensely powerful combat force that would be incredibly difficult to defeat for now this robot can be purchased for $16,000 and used as a personal Bodyguard the military Technical Institute of Serbia has introduced its latest development the combat robot named Milos n this unmanned ground vehicle is designed to enhance the capabilities of the Serbian armed forces
in reconnaissance and combat operations the vehicle weighs 6 20 kg and can reach a speed of up to 7 kmph it is an autonomous tracked platform with remote control equipped with a Zastava m86 machine gun an M11 grenade launcher and a surveillance system with a thermal imager for observation and Target detection Milos is equipped with a thermal imaging camera daytime and nighttime cameras and a Laser Rangefinder with a range of up to 2,000 M the robot can recognize targets at a distance of up to 1,000 M using a charge coupled device and up to 450
M with a thermal imaging camera the design of Milos allows for the installation of other types of Weaponry including anti-tank missile systems and electronic warfare systems the Russian army continues to actively integrate robots into its combat units aiming to improve the efficiency and safety of military operations one of the latest developments by Russian Engineers is the robotic system named Varon designed to support assault operations and assist infantry units Veron is a tracked platform equipped with the remotely controlled turret D2 this turret is compatible with various models of Kalashnikov machine guns and allows for precise fire
at distances ranging from 100 to 800 M the robot's control range reaches 15 km in addition to combat functions Veron has a high payload capacity capable of transporting loads weighing up to 1 1/2 tons additionally very systems can be mounted on the platform including electronic warfare complexes and reconnaissance modules write in the comments what you liked most after watching this video If you enjoyed this video don't forget to subscribe to our Channel and leave a like see you next time
