Apr 4: India's Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has indicated that his country will plan to expand a currency arrangement with India that facilitates bilateral defence trade despite sanctions imposed on Moscow. Lavrov made these comments in a news conference in New Delhi on 1 April following meetings with his Indian counterpart Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. Lavrov said the ruble-rupee mechanism, initiated about four years ago, will be applied to Russia-India trade across various sectors and is designed to bypass requirements for US dollars.

Oct 27: The Chinese and Russian navies have concluded their first-ever joint patrols in international waters east of Japan in the Western Pacific: a further indication of the growing defence co-operation between the two countries that has been raising concerns among the United States and its allies. The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) said in a statement that the patrols, which took place from 17 to 23 October, involved five warships from each navy, with the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) being represented by Type 055 destroyer Nanchang, Type 052D destroyer Kumming, Type 054A frigates Liuzhou and Binzhou, and Type 903A replenishment vessel Dongpinghu. Fred T. Jane was never the doctrinaire or the theorist in his written expositions of naval matters, but a reporter, first, last, and all the time. He disliked hysteria and attempts to influence Admiralty policy based on half-knowledge. He once offended an English audience before whom he was lecturing by pointing out that admiration of Nelson could be overdone if it involved disregard of changed conditions since Trafalgar. Jane's Fighting Ships is an annual reference book (also published online, on CD and microfiche) of information on all the world's warships arranged by nation, including information on ship's names, dimensions, armaments, silhouettes and photographs, etc. Its annual editions cover the warships used by the different national naval and paramilitary forces, and provide data on their characteristics. Oct: During The Russian military announced on 29 September that its forces had completed their withdrawal from Belarus that day, following the conclusion of ‘Zapad-2021' strategic exercises on 17 September. The scenario for Zapad-2021 was similar to that of its predecessor in 2017: an alliance of NATO countries conducting a limited invasion of Belarus following a period of political instability instigated by Western forces. For the purposes of the exercise, all parties were given pseudonyms; Belarus became ‘Polesei', Russia ‘the Central Federation', and their alliance ‘the Northern Coalition'. The NATO countries, ‘Nyaris' (Lithuania), Pomorie (Poland), and ‘the Polar Republic' (parts of Latvia and components of NATO partner forces in Poland), represent a belief or hope within the Russian military that a conflict with NATO would initially be limited in scope, enabling the Russian armed forces and Kremlin to manage escalation and limit its horizontal growth. This belief in turn determines the forces and means committed to the fight, with the intention of using only the forces needed to achieve the desired goals of protecting Belarus and forcing peace with NATO before the conflict escalates beyond control.

Apr 21: The S-500 long-range surface-to-air missile system has entered series production, Almaz-Antey CEO Yan Novikov told the Russian National Defence journal on 25 April in an interview commemorating 20 years of the corporation.Novikov also mentioned the S-400 and Tor-M2 air defence systems, in addition to identifying the Buk-M3 and S-350 Vityaz as the concern's most promising export prospects, referring to the two medium-range systems as Almaz-Antey's “calling cards”. The 9K317M Buk-M3 and 50R6 S350 are in service with the Russian Armed Forces. The Buk-M3 made its combat debut during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Viking is the name of an export iteration of the Buk -M3. Nov 29: In a statement released on 12 November, Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Maria Zakharova responded to the 23 October visit of the Norwegian Fridtjof Nansen-class frigate HNoMS Thor Heyerdahl to the port of Longyearbyen, a Norwegian outpost in Svalbard. Zakharova said that the visit “implies the use of the archipelago's infrastructure in the military planning of the defence of Norway, including the reception of reinforcement from NATO allies.” Norway has sovereignty over the archipelago and consequently the Svalbard Treaty does not prohibit a Norwegian military presence unless a deployment is offensive in nature. Nov 29: Russian Ground Troops' operational units are to receive 20 T-14 Armata main battle tanks (MBTs) by the end of 2021, the TASS news agency reported 47th Military Representative Office acting head Major Dmitry Repin as saying on 26 November during a visit to the UralVagonZavod factory responsible for manufacturing the tanks in Nizhny Tagil. Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov told TASS in August 2020 that the Armata was in production, but the press agency reported Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu in March as saying the first batch would not be received until 2022. The London publishing firm of Sampson, Low, Marston & Company have published the Fighting Ships from its beginning. In addition, the Boston firm of Little, Brown & Company brought out the first edition in the United States. The fourth edition was published by Harper & Brothers in 1901, and the fifth edition by Munn & Company in 1902. No other American firm, so far as can be learned, undertook its publication until the Macmillan Company brought out a magnificent edition at the height of the Second World War.It was originally published by John F. T. Jane (usually known as "Fred T.") in 1898 as Jane's All the World's Fighting Ships. Its success launched a number of military publications carrying the name "Jane's". It is a unit of Jane's Information Group, which is now owned by IHS. The following is a list of major works which followed the format of Jane’s original work: Jane's All the World's Aircraft and Fighting Ships are included in the 2019 edition of the AP stylebook as references for proper notation of aircraft and military ship names. [12] Based in Greater London for most of its existence, the group was owned by the Thomson Corporation, The Woodbridge Company, [ when?] [ citation needed] then IHS Markit, [2] before being acquired by Montagu Private Equity in 2019.

Russian forces have also conducted joint special forces with other CSTO forces in Tajikistan, naval exercises with the Algerian navy in the Mediterranean Sea, and limited combined arms training with the Armenian military. Mar 24: Russia's invasion of Ukraine has seen the proliferation of a range of munitions, among which are the Kh-31PM anti-radiation missile (ARM), and Vikhr-1 guided missile. On the first day of the invasion, local media aired footage of the remains of a relatively large air-to-surface missile in the Holosiivskyi district of Kyiv, which has been identified by Janes as a Kh-31PM ARM. The Kh-31 family of missiles is made up of anti-radiation and anti-ship types. The original Kh-31P ARM, also known by the manufacturer's designation of Izdeliye 77P or as the AS-17A ‘Krypton' by NATO, was developed by the Tactical Missiles Corporation (Korporatsiya Takticheskoe Raketnoe Vooruzhenie: KTRV) from 1977 and entered service i n 1988. The missile's development was spurred by the proliferation of new surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems in the West during the 1970s and early 1980s, such as the United States' Patriot.Already a Janes customer?

The 132nd Mixed Aviation Division began command staff exercises in the Kaliningrad region. o Northern Fleet naval infantry have conducted joint exercises with their Baltic Fleet counter-parts in Kaliningrad. To Americans his section dealing with the United States Navy in 1897 should be of especial interest. He lists 13 Civil War monitors built from 1863-1865 and notes that “Most of these ships are unseaworthy.” He includes the “dynamite” cruiser Vesuvius, built in 1888, and notes that she carried “3 pneumatic guns, but these are being removed.” He also includes the Dolphin, one of the first ships of the White Squadron authorized, and all the battleships that were destined soon to bring about the destruction of the Spanish fleet under Admiral Cervera at Santiago. Cervera’s ships are also listed under Espagne, including the Reina Mercedes, built in 1887.

Shturm is a concept based on four T-72B3 MBTs developed by Russia's third Central ScientificResearch Institute and T-72 manufacturer Uralvagonzavod. Already a Janes customer? Read more here. Army 2021: Russian MoD procures equipment, Rosoboronexport signs export contractsThe first edition of Jane’s All the World’s Fighting Ships was published in England by the firm of Sampson, Low, Marston & Company in November, 1897. And every year from that date to the present, with few exceptions, the public has had an opportunity to obtain the very latest information on the tonnage, armor, armament, and other details of the battleships, cruisers, carriers, destroyers, submarines, torpedo boats, and auxiliary craft of the navies of the world. To say “I saw it in Jane’s,” is almost equivalent to saying that the subject matter in hand is beyond argument. Since that first Jane’s was published the year before the sinking of the Maine and the outbreak of our War with Spain, the world has witnessed the development of the dreadnought, the destroyer, the aircraft carrier, PT-boat, and the submarine. Each successive issue of this famed naval annual has faithfully recorded the development of these new weapons of naval warfare. The 43rd Missile Ship Division’s Admiral Gorshkov Class frigate ADMIRAL GORSHKOV (pen. 461) has conducted two live fire Tsirkon missile tests in the White Sea. urn:oclc:863504411 Republisher_date 20150925004443 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20150917011431 Scanner scribe4.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Worldcat (source edition) Dec 21: Russia's Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) are being re-equipped with new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), the force's commander, Colonel General Sergey Karakaev, told the Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) military newspaper on 17 December. “We plan to place four regiments on duty in 2022.
