As part of the military exercises "Ocean-2024", footage of the launch of Russian cruise missiles "Kalibr" by the frigate "Admiral Golovko" of Project 22350 of the Northern Fleet of Russia was published. The flight range of the missiles "Kalibr", depending on the modification, is from 300 to 2500 km, it is worth noting that the data on them varies. Work is currently underway on the missiles "Kalibr-M", which will have a flight range of 4500 km and will be able to overcome missile defense and electronic warfare zones. The ship complex of the frigate "Admiral Golovko" can have up to 16 missiles "Kalibr".

The Russian army has started using FPV drones with thermite ammunition in Ukraine. Similar drones were previously spotted in the Ukrainian army. The composition of the thermal mixture is unknown, but Ukrainian drones use the ZAB-2.5P incendiary element from the Soviet incendiary bomb cassettes of the RBK ZAB series. Most likely, the Russian drone also has an incendiary element from a similar series. The incendiary elements of the ZAB-2.5 series are capable of burning through up to 5 mm of steel. Technical details of the FPV drones are not reported.

As part of the military exercises "Ocean-2024", the Russian Ministry of Defense, for the first time showed the interception of the Russian anti-ship missile P-270 "Moskit", which was used as a target. Fire was conducted on the missile Kh-41/P-270 from the SAM "Redut", installed on the Russian corvette of Project 20380. The anti-ship missile P-270 "Moskit" was shot down by the anti-aircraft missile 9M96D at an altitude of about 20 meters. The anti-ship missile Kh-41/P-270 is quite a difficult target, its speed can reach 3460 km/h, which is 2.5 times faster than all currently used NATO anti-ship missiles, in addition, it can perform anti-aircraft maneuvers.

Footage of a Russian underground military base in the Kherson region. The base is used for re-equipping, retraining and combat training of personnel of the Dnipro group of troops. The base is reportedly located at a depth of about 8 meters, it is camouflaged and almost impossible to detect from drones and satellites. There are rest areas for soldiers, classrooms, a weapons room, a utility room, a bathhouse, a shower, a kitchen, a canteen, storage and living quarters. The main purpose of the base is to restore the combat capability of units that have been on the front lines for a long time.

An episode from the Russian film "Rembat", which tells about the work of servicemen of the repair units of the Russian army. You can find the full video online. The video shows the Russian T-90M "Proryv" tank and the replacement of the tank's turret. The video shows the removal of the turret from the T-90M "Proryv" tank, its chassis was damaged, and the installation of the turret on another tank, with an intact chassis. The operation to replace the turret is carried out in field conditions, which is quite difficult, usually this is done at the factory.

The new Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system was presented in Russia. Unlike the well-known Pantsir air defense missile and gun system, there are no 30-mm automatic cannons now. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system is a short-range air defense system, and is now also designed to combat UAVs, including massive air raids. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system was shown as a separate combat module, which can be mounted on different chassis or stationary objects. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system consists of a surveillance radar, a multifunctional phased radar, and an electro-optical system.

The air defense system can detect targets with an effective dispersion area of less than one square meter at a range of up to 40 km, while it can track up to 40 targets, whether it fully detects FPV drones is unknown. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system is equipped with two types of missiles. The 57E6E missile with a radio command control system, the range of target destruction from 1200 to 20000 meters, the altitude of target destruction from 15 meters to 15 km. The probability of hitting the target from 0.7 to 0.9. And the TKB-1055 mini missile designed to intercept drones, 4 missiles of this type can be placed in the TKB-1056 container. The TKB-1055 missile can destroy targets at a range of 500 to 7000 meters and an altitude of 15 to 5000 meters. The Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system can be equipped with a combination of 12 57E6E missiles or 48 TKB-1055 missiles.

As part of the recent Ocean-2024 exercises, a target hit by a Russian Kh-35 anti-ship missile was demonstrated. The firing was carried out by the upgraded frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov of the Russian Pacific Fleet. During the upgrade, the large anti-submarine ship Marshal Shaposhnikov of Project 1155M was reclassified as a frigate. In terms of displacement and armament, it can be considered a destroyer. The firing was carried out by a Kh-35 missile from the Uran-E ship-based missile system. The Kh-35 missile flies at an altitude of 4 to 15 meters and is capable of hitting a target, depending on the modification, at a range of up to 300 kilometers. The mass of the missile's warhead is 145 kg. According to the cost-effectiveness criterion, the Uran-E missile system is one of the best in the world.

Despite the fact that the Russian BMPT Terminator is rarely shown, the training of crews for these combat vehicles continues. Footage of training and interviews with crews are shown. During the training, servicemen improve their skills, share experience and new tactical techniques. The BMPT Terminator is designed to operate as part of tank formations to destroy enemy anti-tank weapons.

The Russian drone is equipped with an RPG-26 grenade launcher with armor penetration of 440 mm, it will be used to destroy equipment in the upper projection, for this purpose the grenade launcher is installed at an angle of about 35 degrees. It is also supposed to install the RPO "Shmel" on the drone. The drone's carrying capacity is 12 kilograms, it is capable of rising to a height of up to 800 meters and developing a speed of up to 60 km / h. The drone's operating range is up to 30 kilometers.

As part of the recent Russian exercises "Ocean-2024", footage of the takeoff of four Russian anti-submarine aircraft Il-38 and Il-38N was published. The aircraft laid mines in a sea training ground. As reported, more than 50 training sea mines were dropped by parachute near Kamchatka, with their help a section of the sea coast about 10 kilometers long was blocked. The Il-38 aircraft began to be used in 1969, it was created on the basis of the Il-18V aircraft, the first Il-38 were inferior in characteristics to American aircraft. In 2001, a modernized anti-submarine aircraft Il-38N appeared, equipped with the search and targeting complex "Novella-P-38", since 2014 the Air Force received them. It is worth noting that five modernized aircraft are also used by India under the index Il-38SD. Visually, the Il-38N differs from the Il-38 by additional antennas of the all-round radar station, located above the nose of the fuselage. The Il-38N can detect air targets at a distance of up to 90 km, and surface targets - up to 320 km, there is no information about underwater targets. The maximum takeoff weight of the aircraft is 68 tons with a combat load of 6 tons. It can reach speeds of up to 650 km / h, the maximum flight altitude is 8 km. The flight range with a normal combat load reaches 6.6 thousand km. The aircraft crew is seven people.

The new Russian drones "Karakurt" were received for testing by servicemen of the 114th separate motorized rifle brigade. "Karakurt" is a miniature reconnaissance drone, it transmits data in real time. The drone "Karakurt" is included in the third generation military equipment "Legionnaire". The drone is used in conditions of limited space from a compact transport and launch container - a tube. The drone is designed for reconnaissance of the area and can stay in the air for up to 20 minutes, the radius of the drone's flight is up to 1 km. Due to the small size of the "Karakurt" it is difficult to notice, it has a plastic body, which makes it impossible to detect the drone with current radars.
