The first hovering flight was performed by the Russian modernized Mi-34M1 helicopter, equipped with a VK-650V turboshaft engine manufactured by UEC-Klimov. The Mi-34M1 helicopter is a modernized version of the light helicopter of the Mi-34S family, equipped with piston engines. Serial production of the VK-650V engine, designed for Russian multi-purpose and special helicopters with a takeoff weight of up to 4 tons, is planned to be launched in 2025. A new gearbox was also tested on the helicopter. It is believed that the helicopter will compete with the most popular family of GA helicopters in the world, Robinson.

A spectacular video of the Lynx robot-dog hybrid with a wheeled chassis moving quickly across rough terrain was shown by the Chinese company Deep robotics. Note how fast the four-legged robot moves through the forest. When such a robot is equipped with a payload, in the form of cameras or weapons, it is possible to quickly and effectively conduct reconnaissance of the area or other operations. Most people do not take this seriously yet, but military robots of this type will be used in the near future. In China, a group operation of military robot dogs was recently shown.
