Tu-160M missile carrier, the deep-sea Losharik, the new automatic and more. What weapons will the Russian army receive in 2025?

 


The Russian army will receive a number of new combat units in 2025, including a nuclear submarine with ballistic missiles and new strategic bombers. Also, this year, the multi-year repair of a secret submarine and a missile cruiser may be completed. According to Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, the arms supply schedule for 2025 has already been formed. "The ribbon.<url>" tells about the main samples of military equipment that the Russian Armed Forces can receive in 2025.

Tu-160M missile carriers



Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov announced that the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) will receive four Tu-160M strategic missile bombers in 2025. The planes, which are part of the air component of Russia's nuclear triad, are also capable of carrying missiles with non-nuclear warheads. During a special military operation, the Tu-160 is used to launch cruise missiles X-101 and X-555. The basic version of the Tu-160 made its first flight in 1981, and operation of the aircraft began in 1987. The bomber with a variable sweep wing received four NK-32 engines, which provide a maximum flight speed of up to 2,230 kilometers per hour. The Tu-160 can carry 45 tons of combat load. 12 X-101 missiles can be placed in the inner compartments of the missile carrier. According to military expert Anatoly Matviychuk, the upgraded aircraft will be superior to the Tu-160 in all respects. The Tu-160M received improved engines, as well as updated avionics and avionics equipment.

Nuclear submarine "Prince Pozharsky"




The naval component of Russia's nuclear triad will be reinforced by the new strategic nuclear submarine Knyaz Pozharsky. This is the eighth submarine of the basic project 955 and the fifth, which is being built according to the upgraded project 955A "Borey-A". In February 2024, the submarine was launched. The main armament of the Borey is the Bulava solid-fuel ballistic missiles. It is believed that they carry 6-10 warheads with a capacity of 100-150 kilotons, and the maximum range of the missile is 9300 kilometers. Self-defense of missile carriers is provided by torpedo tubes of 533 mm caliber, which allow the use of mines, torpedoes and missiles. According to Brandon Weichert, a columnist for the American magazine The National Interest, the Borey-A submarines can be considered one of the best in the world. He suggested that the hydroacoustic system of Russian submarines makes it possible to detect underwater objects more efficiently than the equipment of the American submarines Ohio and Virginia of the US Navy.

Icebreaker "Ivan Papanin"




Another novelty in the arsenal of the Russian Navy will be the first combat icebreaker. The Ministry of Defense announced that in 2025, the fleet will receive the Ivan Papanin ice-class patrol ship of project 23550 (code "Arctic"). Tests are currently being completed on the ship, which was launched in 2019. The ships of this project can operate in any navigation zone, overcoming ice up to 1.7 meters thick. It is believed that the Arctic icebreakers are capable of performing the tasks of a tugboat, icebreaker and fire fighting vessel or a warship. "Ivan Papanin" is armed with an AK-176MA 76 mm caliber artillery system. Ships of this type can also be additionally equipped with machine-gun launchers and container launchers with Kalibr missiles. The icebreaker Ivan Papanin will be able to strengthen the defense of the Northern Sea Route (NSR), ensuring the activity of naval warships in difficult conditions. The icebreaker will make it possible to patrol the waters of the NSR most of the year.

Stupinets Missile boat




This year, the Russian Navy may receive a new cruise missile carrier. A TASS source in the shipbuilding industry said that the Stupinets missile boat of project 12418 is planned to be transferred to the fleet in 2025. However, there is no official confirmation of this yet. In the summer of 2024, the ship was launched. Stupinets is based on one of the two ROKS that were built under the export project 12421. However, later it was decided to complete the construction of boats according to project 12418 for the Russian Navy. One of the main tasks of the Republic of Kazakhstan will be to train the fleet forces using RM-24 target missiles built on the basis of the 3M24 anti-ship missile of the Uranus complex. In addition to the missile system, the PK project 12418 is armed with an AK-176 76-millimeter artillery system and an AK-630M 30-millimeter anti-aircraft artillery system.

The return of Admiral Nakhimov and Losharik




In addition to new weapons, in 2025 the military will receive combat units after repair and modernization. In August 2024, Admiral Alexander Moiseev, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, announced that the Admiral Nakhimov Project 1144 heavy nuclear missile cruiser (TARK) was planned to be transferred to the fleet this year.2M "Orlan". The ship, which was commissioned in 1988, has been undergoing repairs and modernization since 1999. The improved TARK was equipped with the 3S14 universal naval firing system, which allows carrying Kalibr, Zircon and Onyx missiles, modern anti-submarine complexes and air defense systems. It is possible that the AS-31 Losharik deep-sea nuclear power plant, which is undergoing renovation and modernization, will also return to operation in 2025. The Losharik station of project 10831 was laid in 1988, but construction was frozen in the 1990s. The submarine was completed in 2003. It is believed that Losharik consists of seven titanium spheres, which increase the strength of the structure and allow it to withstand high pressure at great depths. There is practically no official data on the tasks of the submarine, but in the West it is believed that the Losharik is intended for reconnaissance.

A new machine gun and a vest for pilots




In addition to large warships, nuclear submarines and bombers, the Russian army will receive smaller, but no less important products. For example, in 2025, mass production of a wearable emergency reserve (NAZ) for survival of pilots in extreme conditions, which is made in the form of a vest, will begin. Previously, factory versions of such products were not produced for Russian pilots. The vest with built-in armor holds a water supply, a special compass, a first-aid kit, a pistol holster and other accessories. In addition, in 2025, it is planned to begin mass production of the small-sized 5.45 mm AM-17 assault rifle. The compact assault rifle for auxiliary units was developed by the Kalashnikov concern on behalf of the Ministry of Defense. The 2.5 kilogram machine is equipped with a folding telescopic stock and a Picatinny rail for mounting accessories and sights. The new product can replace the shortened AKS-74U assault rifle, which was developed in the late 1970s. Kalashnikov also plans to refine the recently adopted Chukavin sniper rifle (microwave). The weapon will receive improved ergonomics and an improved silencer.

In addition to new and upgraded small arms, the military will begin receiving improved armored vehicles. Remdiesel is planning to launch a version of the Akhmat Z-CTC with improved and improved protection based on its experience.
