One of the new systems at this year's Victory Day Parade is the Pantsir-SM with smaller missiles (nicknamed гвоздь) designed to counter UAVs and PGMs (a Syria lesson). They can fit 4 of these missiles instead of 1 57E6 missile. 34/

In an interview, Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko said they expect to adopt the Tsirkon hypersonic missile in 2021-2022 (it also says 2020-2021), which will equip Project 885, 885M, 949AM, 22350, 23560 ships/subs and the Admiral Nakhimov cruiser.

Mentioning the Project 23560 Lider-class destroyer is interesting given that design work had apparently stopped. This doesn't include the smaller version of the Tsirkon that is being developed for corvettes and small missile ships. 2/

He again said adoption of the Su-57 will happen in two stages with procurement of Su-57 with the "4th generation" Izdelie 117 engine to continue until the mid-2020s when Su-57 with the new "5th generation" Izdelie 30 engine will be adopted.

One consequence of COVID-19 is that many arms export deals will likely be postponed or canceled. As an example, India's defense industry has suggested that India divert funds from arms imports to local industries, 40% of which could soon face bankruptcy.
economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/g…
That was from an Ernst & Young study that said that more than 40% of India's small and medium-size defense companies face closure within 3 months absent government action. In addition, India's federal Ministry of Finance has reduced defense spending. 2/

It seems highly likely that India and other large arms importers will have to delay or cancel many of their existing import contracts and future tenders. Of course, this would place greater pressure on arms exporter governments like Russia to support their defense companies. 3/
