Wings of the Fatherland. Arab premieres of Russian aviation

In Dubai now +32, but that did not stop the majority of the Russian delegation from staying true to the tradition and coming to the opening of the Dubai Airshow -2021 in strict dark suits. That in such heat is an act in itself.

This is the first international aviation exhibition since the start of the pandemic (and before the wharf there were ten a year – from Le Bourget and Farnborough to Singapore, Zhuhai and Santiago). Participants from different countries, who had not seen each other for a year and a half, did not hide their joy by hitting their fists or elbows. Mask mode is strictly respected here. For failure to provide information on a positive test or non-compliance with & nbsp; quarantine & mdash; & nbsp; a fine of 20 thousand dirhams (383 thousand rubles), if without a mask & mdash; & nbsp; 3 thousand dirhams (58 thousand rubles).

But all the same. It is hoped that now, despite the pandemic, other countries will follow the example of the Arabs, and air shows will become regular again.

Plane of the near future

Russia in Dubai presents a number of airplanes and helicopters, until then not on display at the foreigner. There is three.

  • Medium-haul MS-21-310 with domestic PD-14 engines. Our first civilian aircraft with a composite wing and the latest onboard systems. Manufacturer & mdash; Irkout Society & mdash; & nbsp; draws attention to its more spacious interior compared to competitors and economy. It is argued that it is in no way inferior to the latest modifications of the Boeing-737 and Airbus-320 families and even has many advantages. For the Dubai lounge, part of the MC-21 lounge was installed in economy class, and part in business class. Interestingly, some parts of the PD-14 engines have recently started to be 3D printed, which saves production time from six months to three weeks while retaining all the properties. It is assumed that the first production MC-21 will take off in December 2021, and that scheduled flights will begin in 2022
  • Created on the basis of the “ Superjet '' & # 39; Aurus business plane the same Irkut. Like the MC-21, it flew nonstop to Dubai from Zhukovsky & mdash; & nbsp; 3,700 km. It's the liner for the rich. The living room has it all: from the shower stall to high speed internet. Equipped with an additional fuel system, it has a flight range of up to 7,000 km, that is, is able to fly from Moscow to Vladivostok, Beijing or Seoul without landing . The business jet will complement the range of luxury products promoted under this brand – the Ansat Aurus Design helicopter and the Aurus executive limousine series. They always stand together at the exhibition site & mdash; & nbsp; plane, helicopter and car, causing the moans of passing Arab sheikhs.

  • Prototype of our first 5th generation single-engine stealth fighter Su-75 Checkmate , which was brought to the United Arab Emirates on the An-124 Ruslan. 'Checkmate', as ours called it, is shown in a separate lodge. According to the manufacturers, it will be distinguished by low visibility, economy, an efficient electronic warfare system and the most modern on-board electronics, including a radar with an array of active phased antennas. Ours claim that there is only one competitor in the world – the American F-35, although it has been flying for a long time and more than 800 cars have been produced, of which more than 50 took part in hostilities. And so far we only have one dream. Which, however, when implemented, promises to be much cheaper than an opponent ($ 25-30 million). The plane is made for export sales, but it doesn't matter how it interferes with contracts for the MiG-35, which has already been filled with a lot of money.

Drones: are we going to catch up?

Russia, which entered the global unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market late, is now trying to catch up and overtake it. In Dubai we only presented one live drone. This is the Reconnaissance and Strike Orion-E, already supplied to the Russian Army, which has a satellite communication and control system. Better known to our military as Pacer, he performed well in Syria, where he made dozens of flights at an altitude of 7-8 km. Able to stay in the air for up to a day and send data to the operator from almost anywhere in the world.

The A-380-800 is the world's largest production aircraft, capable of traveling 15.5 thousand kilometers without landing. Alas, its production was stopped in 2021. Photo: AiF/Igor Chernyak

In addition, Rostec chef Sergey Chemezov announced a presentation at the exhibition:

< ul>

  • UAV “ Thunder '' , which can not only strike with X-38 missiles, but also control a swarm of 10-12 & nbsp; drones launched from another aircraft carrier. As conceived by the designers, “ Thunder '' must fly two or three hundred kilometers in front of a group of Su-57 fighters and Su-34 bombers, causing fire on himself. Once the enemy's air defense is revealed, a swarm of drones will shoot down all of their ammo on them. There is only one but. Unlike Chackmate & mdash; it's not even a full-size mockup, just a certain concept, which is incomprehensible when it soars into the air.
  • Helios-RLD Radar Patrol UAV , which is able to stay aloft for more than a day. On board this aerial giant, the 'informant' with a wingspan of up to 30m and a takeoff weight of 5 tons, a powerful radar was installed. According to the developers, several of these devices are capable of creating continuous radar coverage to warn of a sudden missile attack. The nuance again is that this, like 'Thunder', is just a concept. & Nbsp;
  • UAV Zala VTOL, photography, a few hours. It combines the best qualities of an airplane type drone and a tiltrotor. The operator can easily change his configuration according to the tasks.

    Sergey Chemezov also distinguished the drone-kamikaze ammunition KUB-UAV & mdash; & nbsp ;, which can be launched both from special purpose ships and from transport and landing craft. Its task is & mdash; & nbsp; to silently fly over enemy territory, and for the moment “ H & # 39; & # 39; attack a tank or air defense object by diving from the upper hemisphere. As a rule, loitering ammunition is not returned from a flight. “ It develops speeds of up to 130 km/h and can perform missions as part of a guided swarm. The main stage of testing has already passed. We are one of the world leaders in this segment, & mdash; & nbsp; Chemezov on the eve of the air show in an interview with TASS.

    All of these drones were featured on colorful brochures.

    In Dubai, they talked about the new Russian control system for a swarm of unmanned aerial vehicles. As the developers explain, this will allow the operator, instead of directly controlling the swarm, to indicate only the goal. The rest of the operations will be carried out by artificial intelligence. This approach will allow our drones to move to a new stage of development and become semi-autonomous, not automatically controlled.

    “ Now the operator no longer has to independently search for targets in the video stream, the machine will tell them what to pay attention to. And instead of building a flight route with his hands, indicating each point on the map, he simply puts a search area, and the drones themselves will determine the optimal procedure for performing the task, taking into account the forces and enemy means, terrain and weather conditions. At the same time, they are also & ldquo; okay & rdquo; between them on the distribution of responsibilities and priorities. This is a new step in the development of drone management, which will make them more independent ',' explained ' & nbsp; & nbsp; on the eve of & nbsp; CEO of JSC Kronstadt & nbsp; Sergey Bogatikov.

    Certainly, in March 2020, in Libya, an “ independent '' & nbsp; Turkish UAV Kargu-2, controlled by artificial intelligence, decided to destroy a person. & Nbsp; As the New Scientist Magazine written with reference to the UN Study, this is the first time in history that a drone has committed a murder without human order. However, while this is considered a fatal accident. & Nbsp; & nbsp;

    “ First impression of the exhibition. Americans are now focusing more and more on the fight against China and de facto are gradually leaving the Middle East. This opens a window of opportunity for Russia, mainly in the area of ​​selling military equipment here. It is extremely difficult to fill this niche in a region which is historically foreign to us, but we have to try, “concluded Director of Strategy and Technology Analysis Center Ruslan Pukhov .

    Welt called the lack of ammunition the reason for the defeat of the Wehrmacht near Moscow

    Operation Typhoon, in which the Nazis intended to take Moscow, failed due to problems with the logistics of the Wehrmacht. Florian Stark expressed this opinion in an article for the German edition of Die Welt.

    Immunologist said asymptomatic patients should be given QR codes

    Trace of a novel coronavirus pandemic that has spread from China

    Specialist in particularly dangerous infections, immunologist, doctor in medical science Vladislav Zhemchugov said asymptomatic patients should be given QR codes because their immunity to coronavirus is greater than that of the vaccinated, reports TASS.

    “ It is a shame that these people who have had asymptomatic illness are not seen under herd immunity. They have the same, and even stronger, immunity than those who have been vaccinated. They must also be taken into account. Those who are sick always give more immunity than the vaccine – it's the law. They must first give the QR code & # 39 ;, & mdash; he said.

    Zhemchugov stressed that this is especially true for those who have suffered the delta strain. In this case, the immunity lasts for at least a year, so these people are the most valuable to the population.

    Earlier, Federal Headquarters reported that the level of herd immunity to COVID-19 has increased in Russia. Today that figure is around 49%.

    The country's first component has been inoculated 63,124,096 times. The complete cycle of vaccination has been carried out approximately 58 million times. & Nbsp;

    Compared to last week & nbsp; the level of herd immunity in Russia increased by 1%.
