Those watching National Defense News last night were treated to 'red eyes' - a demonstration of the Shtora-1 active protection system on the PAVN's T-90S/SK MBTs. This demonstration took place in front of a visiting delegation to the 201st Tank Brigade.

The Shtora-1 was designed to disrupt SACLOS ATGMs along with laser rangefinders/target designators, though it should be noted that some newer modern generation of ATGMS have been designed to bypass the system's IR dazzlers.

It would be interesting to see how well the Vietnamese Shtora-1 APS performs against the threat of enemy anti tank weaponry, specifically the Chinese "Red Arrow" series of anti tank missiles.

Sistema de autoprotección Vitebsk para todos los Mi-35 rusos
All Mi-35M assault helicopters equipped with Vitebsk onboard defense system
Air RecognitionExperts of the Moscow Helicopter Plant named after M.L. Mil (MVZ, an affiliate of the Russian Helicopters holding company) have installed additional Vitebsk onboard defense systems at all Mi-35M assault helicopters, which are in service with the Russian Air Force judging from the MVZ presentation materials, which have been received by TASS.

"All the Mi-35M helicopters were equipped with the Vitebsk onboard defense systems and put in operation. At present, they are accomplishing combat missions in Russia and beyond its borders safeguarding our country’s interests in airspace," the document said.
The presentation materials say that the arms department of the Russian Aerospace Forces set the task to equip Mi-35M helicopters with the Vitebsk systems in 2016. "The installation of onboard defense systems will enable army aviation helicopters of this type to apply them at night and protect them from man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems," the presentation’s authors explained.
The Russian Defense Ministry said back in March 2017 that the Vitebsk onboard defense system would be upgraded seriously on the basis of combat experience gained in Syria and would be installed on army aviation helicopters.
The KB-7 design bureau of the MVZ was in charge of the modernization effort. A contract for fitting out Mi-35M helicopters with additional equipment had been executed by September 2018, the presentation documents said.

RAAF australiana recibe nuevos equipos de detección de amenazas
RAAF to Receive New Tech to Identify Electronic Threats
RAAF C-27J cockpit
As part of the government’s second tranche of Defence Innovation Hub investments, a Sydney company will develop new technology for the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) that can autonomously identify electronic threats.
Saber Astronautics was awarded a $275,000 contract to develop the software to support the RAAF.
The contract is the first phase of a three-phase project using the company's advanced machine learning capability.
It is expected that the technology will not only have defence applications, but commercial, with Saber anticipating it will enable better communications between spacecraft operators and their satellites, especially during disruptive events such as solar flares.
Saber's director and chief executive Dr Jason Held said the contract came at the right time as Australia is looking to advance its space industry and technology with International Astronautical Congress arriving in Adelaide in September.
"This is great timing as it allows us to develop a key technology for secure communications at exactly the time that the Australian market is heating up," said Dr Held.
"Commercial small satellites are more susceptible to solar storms but still need to produce clean data for customers on Earth. We’re particularly excited to explore this potential more broadly with the Australian Air Force."
Saber Astronautics has nearly a decade of experience in applying machine learning to diagnostics, having demonstrated the technology previously on several NASA and commercial spacecraft. Using the technology to diagnose signals is a new application.
The company's mission statement is to reduce barriers to space flight, making it more accessible to people on Earth.

Israel planea venderle el Trophy y Spike a Australia
Rafael Says Trophy and Spike are on Target for Australian Requirement
However, Yiftach Kleinman, Manager of Marketing and Business Development at Rafael's Land Maneuver Systems Directorate, said that, while the successful bidder will recommend subsystems for their vehicle, the DoD could select alternative ones.
This would mean that Rafael's Trophy APS, Samson remote weapon station, and Spike missile could be selected regardless of whether the AMV35 or Boxer wins.
Kleinman expressed confidence in Trophy's chances of being selected by the Australians, although it potentially faces competition from the Israel Military Industries (IMI) Iron Fist APS, which was part of the now-eliminated bid by Elbit Systems and Singapore Technologies Kinetics.
Trophy has the advantage that it has been in service with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for nearly five years in the form of the original HV variant fitted to the Merkava IV tanks and Namer heavy APCs. The Israeli Ministry of Defense recently announced that Trophy HV will initially be fitted to the new Eitan 8x8 wheeled armoured vehicle that it is developing, although a different APS may subsequently be selected.
Rafael also offers the lighter Trophy MV, but Kleinman said this still needs to go through a four-year client-approval process once the development stage has been completed.

A Rafael Samson unmanned weapon station mounted on a M113 APC launches a Spike LR missile.
Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems is a leading contender to supply active protection systems (APS) and missiles for the Australia Department of Defence's (DoD's) Land 400 programme, a company representative told IHS Jane's on 10 August.
Land 400 covers the replacement of Australia's Light Armoured Vehicles (ASLAVs), M113 armoured personnel carriers (APCs), and Bushmaster protected mobility vehicles.
It is currently at Phase 2, which involves the acquisition of 225 combat reconnaissance vehicles (CRVs), with the contenders shortlisted to the Patria/BAE Systems AMV35 and the Rheinmetall Defence Boxer.
The Australian Army says it is giving the bidders the flexibility to include options such as manned or unmanned turrets and protection systems to meet the combination of survivability, mobility, and firepower required for the CRV.
