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: Four Russian and Chinese bombers conducted a joint air patrol over the Sea of Japan and East China Sea. The flight was conducted on the same day as two Russian bombers conducted a further patrol over the Sea of Chukotka and Bering Sea. Feb 8: In December 2021 the Russian company Kronshtadt completed construction of its manufacturing facility for the Orion unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), enabling serial production of the first aircraft to begin that month, the company noted in a press release. The announcement marked the end of a long gestation period for the Orion, which entered development in 2011 under the Inokhodets (Pacer) programme after a contract was signed between the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Transas, which became Kronshtadt in 2015. The programme set out to produce an unmanned medium-altitude, long-endurance aircraft for use in reconnaissance and strike missions, if necessary. At the time, the Russian armed forces were beginning an extensive period of modernisation following the 2008 Russo-Georgian War.

Oct: The first S-500 55R6M Prometey (Prometheus) strategic air-defence system has entered service with a unit in the Moscow region, the TASS news agency reported on 13 October, citing a source close to the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD). The first regimental set is to be followed by a second in the first half of 2022, the source added. No official announcement has been made by the MoD, but Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov told the RIA Novosti news agency in September that deliveries were under way to Russian forces. These initial S-500 units may be intended primarily for training purposes or limited service, as the Izvestia newspaper reported on 12 October that Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov has said serial production and deliveries of the S-500 are scheduled for 2025. 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. 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 11: South Korea and Russia have agreed to set up direct military hotlines between their respective air and naval forces as part of efforts to enhance communication and prevent accidental clashes. The Ministry of National Defense (MND) in Seoul announced that the two sides signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to this end on 11 November, pointing out that the move is also aimed at strengthening bilateral trust, helping to reduce tensions as well as establishing peace in the region. A new – as yet unidentified commander – was appointed to lead Russian forces stationed in north eastern Syria. The commander will reportedly lead forces in the region for three months.

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.Jane's Information Group was founded in 1898 by Fred T. Jane, who had begun sketching ships as an enthusiast naval artist while living in Portsmouth. This gradually developed into an encyclopedic knowledge, culminating in the publishing of All the World's Fighting Ships (1898). [1] The company then gradually branched out into other areas of military expertise. The books and trade magazines published by the company are often considered the de facto public source of information on warfare and transportation systems.

The Jane's editions of 1898, 1905, 1906, 1914, 1919, 1924, 1931, 1939 and 1944 were reissued in facsimile reprints by Arco Publishing in 1969. Already a Janes customer? Read more here.

Conflicting reports as to the cause of the damage have been made, the Russian MoD stated that a fire onboard the cruiser led to the detonation of ammunition. However, in a post on his Telegram social media account on 13 April, governor for the Odessa region Maksym Marchenko said that Moskva had been seriously damaged by missiles fired from the Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missile system. He did not provide any evidence to support this claim.

However, as cable laying is well outside GUGI's usual remit – as far as it is known – thefull role of these vessels is the subject of considerable speculation. Dec 22: The Chkalov Aviation Plant in Novosibirsk (NAZ) rolled out the first flying prototype of the S-70 Okhotnik (Hunter) unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) on 14 December. The low observable (LO) UCAV is now being prepared for its maiden flight and trials, Deputy Defence Minister Alexey Krivoruchko told reporters. “The [UCAV] was made in the serial concept and is equipped with the necessary onboard devices in full compliance with the requirements. It will shortly make the maiden flight after all ground tests are completed,” he said. Russia's Kalashnikov Group is studying integration of Vikhr-1 (AT-16 ‘Scallion') anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) onto a range of new platforms, a representative of the company told Janes at the MAKS 2021 air show, held in Zhukovsky near Moscow from 20 to 25 July. “The Kalashnikov Group is considering integration of the Vikhr missile [onto] the Mi-28NE and Mi-35P helicopters and the Orion-E [unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)],” said the Kalashnikov official. He added that the holding continues to modify the Vikhr air-launched ATGM for various aircraft. Janes Analysis: TheVikhr-1, an upgrade of the originalVikhrair-launched ATGM, was unveiled at last year's Army 2020 defence show in Kubinka near Moscow.
