Russian super armored T-72 tank spotted. Footage of a Russian T-72 tank with additional armor made by non-factory specialists has been published. Judging by the footage, at the moment this is the most armored Russian tank in a makeshift way. The tank is somewhat similar to the Russian experimental tank T-90 "Burlak", the shape of the tower repeats its outlines. The tank is also protected from above, a canopy against drones is visible on the car. Why and by whom the tank was made is not reported

Installation of anti-cumulative screens on the BTR-82 of Russia. During the field repair of military equipment, Russian servicemen showed the installation of lattice anti-cumulative screens on the BTR-82 and the installation of canopies from drones on the TOS-1A Solntsepek combat vehicles. Anti-cumulative grilles do not provide one hundred percent protection, but reduce the risk of hitting an armored vehicle, and in some cases divert the cumulative jet to the side.

The work of the Russian electronic warfare complex Krasukha-4 in Ukraine, an overview. The crew of the Russian electronic warfare complex "Krasukha-4" spoke about his combat work in Ukraine. The Krasukha-4 electronic warfare complex was put into service in 2012, the data on it are all classified. The EW 1RL257 complex suppresses airborne radar stations of aviation and missiles, as well as UAV control channels at a distance, presumably up to 300 kilometers. EW Krasukha was also used to jam the Starlink signal, which was used by Ukrainian units to communicate with each other. One of the main tasks of the system is the neutralization of AWACS flying radars. Without their help, F-22 Raptor and F-35 aircraft are difficult to target and cannot fully use airborne radars. The Krasukha-4 electronic warfare complex consists of two machines, one contains the calculation of the installation, and the antennas are placed on the other. The Krasukha-4 electronic warfare complex is located on the KamAZ chassis and is constantly being upgraded, the calculation of the complex is up to 7 people.

Russian attack UAV S-70 "Okhotnik" patrols the sky with a Su-30 fighter. The Russian heavy strike UAV S-70 "Okhotnik" was spotted in the skies of Russia. Of particular interest is the fact that the aircraft is not paired with a Su-57 fighter, but with a Su-30 fighter. That is, the S70 Okhotnik UAV is being prepared for joint work with the Su-30. Previously, many argued that the S70 "Hunter" UAVs do not fly, as we see, this is not the case. The S-70 Okhotnik UAV is being adapted to work in pairs and with other aircraft.

Russian high-precision projectiles Krasnopol-M are shown. The Russian Ministry of Defense officially announced the use of modernized Krasnopol-M high-precision projectiles. The 3OF39M projectile was seen on video while loading it into the Msta-S self-propelled guns. In the Krasnopol-M projectile, in order to achieve the maximum firing range, instead of an accelerating engine, a bottom gas generator was used; it is made in a monoblock version, which made it possible to reduce the length of the projectile. The number of retractable projectile stabilizers has been increased to 6 pieces. The Krasnopol projectile is designed to hit targets from the first shot at a distance of up to 26 km. The projectile has a higher probability of hitting the target up to 90%, in contrast to the basic Krasnopol 3OF39 projectiles, where the probability of hitting up to 80%. Projectile flight correction is carried out by aerodynamic rudders in the final flight segment according to the laser mark on the target.

Attack UAV S-70 Okhotnik is already using Russia, drone review. Information began to come in that the Russian Air Force began to use the S-70 Okhotnik heavy strike UAV, the Turkish media were the first to report this. According to them, a new Russian UAV is visible in the photo taken in Ukraine. For the first time, the S-70 UAV was shown on August 5, 2021, after which there was little news about it. The S-70 Okhotnik low-observable strike UAVs are designed to work in conjunction with Su-57 fighters. The UAV was developed as a reconnaissance and target designation support UAV for the Su-57 fighter, similar to the Pentagon Kratos XQ-58 Valkyrie UAV, designed to escort F-22 or F-35 combat aircraft. The S-70 Okhotnik UAV can carry four KAB-500 aerial bombs or 8 KAB-250 bombs, as well as X-74M2 air-to-air missiles and Kh-38 short-range air-to-surface missiles. To combat enemy radar, the UAV can use Kh-58 anti-radar missiles. The main function of the S-70 UAV is not its strike capabilities, but the ability to covertly enter the air defense coverage area and target designation for the Su-57 fighter. The characteristics of the UAV are still classified, it is known that the UAV is equipped with an AL-31 engine and is capable of speeds up to 1000 km / h, operating at an altitude of up to 18 thousand meters. The range of the drone will be about 6,000 kilometers. The dimensions of the drone are impressive, you can appreciate it from the photo next to Russian fighters, with a mass of 20 tons, the wingspan of the drone is up to 19 meters. According to preliminary data, the cost of the S-70 Okhotnik UAV reaches $27 million, or two billion three hundred million rubles.

A new version of the Russian drone Lancet Izdeliye-53 and a factory for the production of kamikaze Lancet drones are shown. For the first time, ZALA Aero Group showed its production of drones and a new version of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drones. As you can see from the video, Russian Lancet drones began to be produced on a huge scale, we are talking about hundreds, and maybe thousands of drones. To expand production , the company simply bought a former shopping center and converted it to the production of drones, thanks to this, the production of Lancet kamikaze drones increased 50 times. Product 51 "is a large drone and Product 52," Lancet drone designer Alexander Zakharov said. There are training classes in the production of drones, in which military personnel are taught to launch Lancet drones. And now the most interesting thing is the new Lancet drone, which is officially called "Product 53". Unfortunately, the answer to the main question, whether the warhead of the new Lancet drone "Product 53" was enlarged. In my opinion, the drone has become much more massive, it can be seen even by its thickness, most likely the combat part got bigger. Now the new Lancet drone is equipped with a folding wing and is placed in a transport and launch container, from where it is launched. That is, the time to prepare for the launch is saved. Most likely containers with drones will be installed on cars. Another main feature, Lancet drones can now work in a swarm, launched by a group, they exchange data and search for a target themselves. This is the most important innovation, swarm drones are the weapons of the near future that need to be developed. The designer said that the Lancet drone is almost impossible to intercept by means of electronic warfare. It is also noted that it is not scary if the drone falls into the hands of the enemy, the drone is software-protected and it is impossible to use its technologies.

Russia is preparing new armored personnel carriers-82 with radar to combat UAVs. At the International Youth Industrial Forum "Engineers of the Future - 2023" held in Tula, an experienced Russian armored personnel carrier BTR-82A designed to combat UAVs was spotted. There is no information about the new armored vehicle, it is known that the BTR-82A has a module with two 23-mm 2A7 anti-aircraft guns, which were previously used on the tracked ZSU-23-4 Shilka. To detect air targets. The armored personnel carrier was equipped with a radar station, as well as an aiming, located in the front in the form of a sphere, panoramic and panoramic station of JSC "NTC Elins". It is assumed that the armored personnel carrier will be able to hit UAVs at a distance of up to 2500 meters, with a target flight altitude of up to 1500 meters.

New Yak-130 aircraft received by the Russian Air Force, review. The Irkutsk Aviation Plant handed over a new batch of Yak-130 aircraft to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The Yak-130 combat training aircraft was chosen as the base aircraft for training pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces. It allows you to train pilots of combat aircraft of the 4+ and fifth generation combat aircraft at the most modern level. The Russian turbojet combat training aircraft Yak-130 was put into service in 2011, Italy also participated in the development of the aircraft, but withdrew from the project, having received all the documentation, it is produced in Italy under the designation Aermacchi M-346. Also, with modifications, the aircraft is also produced in China under the Hongdu L-15 index, the Italian and Chinese version, after modifications it has better characteristics in some respects. A unique feature of the Yak-130 is that the aircraft, thanks to the KSU-130 digital integrated control system, can simulate the handling characteristics of many aircraft, including the F-16, F-15, Rafale, as well as the Eurofighter Typhoon, F-22 and F-35. Unlike foreign analogues, in order to improve maintainability, Russian aircraft manufacturers have completely abandoned composites in the aircraft, all airframe elements are made of light aluminum-magnesium-lithium alloys. Equipped with two Ukrainian-made AI-222-25 engines, but already localized in Russia, the aircraft has a speed of up to 960 km/h, with a flight altitude of up to 12,500 meters and a combat load of up to 3,000 kg. The flight range of the aircraft without external tanks is 2000 kilometers. The price of the Yak-130 aircraft for export is $15 million, for the domestic market it is $7 million, which is cheaper than the Italian aircraft, but more expensive than the Chinese one. In the future, it is planned to create a heavy UAV based on the aircraft.
