Moscow, January 12 (Xinhua) — More than 1,000 new and upgraded military equipment have been tested on the front lines in 2025, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said Monday at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to Vladimir Putin, the manufacturing sectors of the Russian industry “have demonstrated good results for 2025.”

D. Manturov noted that the Russian satellite constellation “increased its number from 288 to 300 spacecraft” by 2025.

According to him, the state corporation Roscosmos carried out 17 launches of space rockets last year.

The First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian government singled out the launch of the Angara-A5 rocket from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. "It launched a satellite for the Ministry of Defense into geostationary orbit. I can say that previously we could only perform such missions from the Baikonur Cosmodrome."

The next stage, according to D. Manturov, will be the large-scale use of the Angara from the Vostochny Cosmodrome, including for tasks related to the Russian orbital station, and subsequently for manned spaceflight and for carrying out lunar missions, which are reflected in the national program, the national project "Cosmos."

While the peak volume of Russian arms exports before 2022 was $55 billion, it has now reached $70 billion under signed contracts. "This is a record," the First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

Starting in 2026, Russia will begin providing Earth remote sensing imagery services in a new way, he added. –0–

JIUQUAN, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) — China's spacecraft designed to develop space tourism completed a suborbital test flight on Monday.

With the help of a parachute rescue system, the capsule with the payload landed safely and was delivered to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

The flight tests verified technology for slowing down the spacecraft during re-entry and precision control technology for landing, which reportedly paved the way for the future development of space tourism.

The Lihong-1 Y1 spacecraft, developed by CAS Space, is capable of flying at altitudes of up to 120 km. It boasts low launch costs and the ability to recover a payload for experiments.

The Lihong-1 Y1 spacecraft can provide a highly stable and multifunctional experimental environment at altitude for more than 300 seconds, the company said. -0-

Tehran, January 12 (Xinhua) — The situation in Iran is "under complete control" following the outbreak of violence related to protests over the weekend, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Monday during a meeting with foreign diplomats.

As A. Araghchi noted, the nationwide protests in the country "have taken on a violent and bloody character" to give US President Donald Trump a "pretext" to intervene.

According to Iran's Foreign Minister, Donald Trump's warning of military action against Tehran if protests escalate into bloodshed has emboldened "terrorists" to attack protesters and security forces in an attempt to provoke foreign intervention. "We are prepared for war, but also for dialogue," he said.

A. Araghchi said Iran had obtained evidence of US and Israeli involvement in domestic "terrorist activities," including a video showing weapons being distributed to protesters, and that authorities would soon publish confessions from detainees.

Regarding the nationwide internet shutdown that has been going on for several days, A. Araghchi noted that the government is coordinating with security agencies to ensure internet access is restored as quickly as possible. –0–

BEIJING, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) — China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) on Monday issued a draft regulation to improve the assessment of the appropriateness of government investment funds and the management of their allocation.

This step aims to use these funds more effectively to implement national strategies, promote industrial modernisation and stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship.

The document emphasizes the role of fund allocation assessment in the management of government investment funds to align them with national industrial policy and support the creation of a modern industrial system.

It also calls for stronger coordination between national-level funds and local government funds to support key national strategies, key sectors and areas of weakness where the market cannot fully play its role.

The document establishes evaluation criteria focused on the effectiveness of funds in supporting national strategies, such as the development of new-quality productive forces, technological innovation, commercialization of research results, the growth of “patient capital,” and the provision of public welfare.

Additional indicators assess the level of compliance of the funds used with the country's regional strategies, priority investment areas and the efficient use of production capacity, as well as the implementation of relevant policies.

The State Committee for Reconstruction and Development (SCRD) stated that the final assessment results will be communicated to provincial governments, relevant agencies, assessed organizations, and financial institutions. The results will be published through the registration system.
