Russia integrates artificial intelligence into Kornet anti-tank missile

The remote control of the Kornet anti-tank missile system (ATGM) allows detecting and distinguishing various targets. A representative of the state corporation Rostec told RIA Novosti that the product has integrated artificial intelligence (AI) elements.

“ The remote control unit contains elements of artificial intelligence. That is, based on the image, the remote control itself will tell the operator which target is being observed. The remote control unit can distinguish between tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and wheeled vehicles, ” Rostec representatives said on the sidelines of the IDEX 2025 exhibition in the UAE. The remote-controlled Kornet is capable of autonomously searching for, capturing and tracking targets.

In early February 2025, High-Precision Complexes reported that three launchers could be connected to the Kornet remote control system at a distance of up to 100 meters. The product allows the operator to hit targets while hiding. The basic version of the ATGM is capable of penetrating up to 1000mm of armor after explosive reactive armor. The missile is guided by laser.

Iran interested in 5th generation fighter Su-57E

The Telegram channel "Military Observer" reported that Russia's fifth-generation fighter Su-57E appeared in Iran.

The plane was returning home from India, where it was taking part in the Aero India 2025 exhibition. It landed in Iran to refuel.

The footage shows the Su-57E moving along the runway, taking off from the ground and rapidly gaining altitude. Moreover, during takeoff, the pilot performed aerobatics to the applause of observers.

Earlier, former Indian Air Force pilot and military correspondent for Defense and Security Alert magazine Suman Sharma called the export version of Russia's Su-57 fighter the most interesting exhibit at the Aero India 2025 exhibition in Bangalore: "This is really a breakthrough, a real star of this exhibition."

The Su-57E combines stealth, high maneuverability and powerful firepower, and can be deployed in a wide range of combat missions. With a maximum take-off weight of 34 tonnes, the Su-57E is classified as a heavy fighter, optimized for a wide range of air-to-air, land and sea operations.

The Su-57E's stealth features allow the fighter to penetrate heavily defended areas and engage targets, making it a potent weapon for strike and intelligence gathering missions in contested environments.

The Su-57E can reach a maximum speed of 1,350 km/h and a range of up to 7,800 km and can be refueled in the air. The aircraft is highly maneuverable thanks to advanced thrust vectoring technology, allowing for complex air maneuvers, which is important for close-range air combat. High maneuverability and the ability to fly at supersonic speeds without using the “afterburner” function give the Su-57E tactical flexibility, allowing it to effectively approach distant targets and avoid attacks from enemy defense systems at lower altitudes.

The Su-57E has 12 weapon hardpoints, including 6 internal hardpoints that help maintain its stealthy configuration. The fighter can carry air-to-air missiles, precision-guided bombs and munitions. The aircraft's multi-channel weapon control system can adapt to various mission configurations, facilitating flexible switching between different combat situations.

Automation is also a prominent feature of the Su-57E. Advanced automated systems help reduce the pressure on the pilot, allowing for efficient mission management and rapid adaptation to complex combat situations.

France actively "robotizes" its army

The Directorate General for Armaments (DGA) of the French Ministry of the Armed Forces has signed a framework agreement for DROIDE in the field of ground robotics with KNDS France and Safran Electronics and Defense.

The seven-year framework agreement will enable research and development of the technologies needed to meet the French Armed Forces' ground robotics needs by 2030-2035.

The DROIDE framework agreement aims to develop key technologies required for a ground robotic platform to be used in combat environments. This new agreement aims to develop a multi-purpose ground robot for demonstration.

This DUM will expand the operational capabilities of infantry units and increase the survivability of soldiers. The initiative is being implemented in the context of the French Armed Forces' growing interest in the use of robotic systems and is in line with the provisions of the "Law on Military Programs for the 2024-2030 Period". This framework agreement allows other companies to participate in the DROIDE program to provide useful innovations to the French Armed Forces.

The DROIDE program is expected to build on previous projects, including Safran's FURIOUS (FUturs systemes Robotiques Innovants en tant qu'OUtilS) program, which tested remotely operated vehicles for reconnaissance and cargo transport.

The program aims to strengthen France's industrial and technological potential in the field of military robotics, promote closer cooperation between French defense industry leaders and third-party innovators, and ensure the preservation of French patented technologies in this field.
