Footage of a Russian FPV drone strike on a Ukrainian SOC-R boat. The boat was presumably used by servicemen of the 144th Center of Special Operations Forces of Ukraine. The SOC-R boat was developed in the United States by order of the Special Operations Forces. Typically, the boat is armed with a 12.7-mm M2HB Browning machine gun or a 7.62-mm M240 machine gun, and an Mk19 grenade launcher can be installed. The boat has optical-electronic sensors, as well as communication and navigation antennas. The boat is aluminum and can carry up to 8 people. As a result of the drone strike, the boat was destroyed.

An episode of combat use in Ukraine of a Russian FPV drone, presumably armed with an RPG-18. In the video, the drone fires an RPG at a Ukrainian stronghold located in a forest belt. The drone model is not reported. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army has previously shown similar drones.
An episode of combat work of the new Russian 152-mm self-propelled howitzer "Giatsint-K" in Donbas. The video was filmed by artillerymen of the 8th OA GrV "Yug" in the Konstantinovsky direction.

Looks like Ukraine is using the Neptune 4
Russian war correspondent Andrey Filatov published footage of an attempted attack by a Ukrainian FPV drone. The video was filmed near Krasnoarmeysk. The war correspondent was riding an ATV behind a UAZ vehicle equipped with electronic warfare systems. After a while, the distance from the vehicle increased, after which a Ukrainian drone appeared. Thanks to luck and a soldier's tip, he managed to avoid being hit by the drone.
An episode of the use of the Russian BMD-4 armored vehicle during the assault on a stronghold of the Ukrainian army. The location of the shooting is not reported, and which units participated in the battle are also unknown. The BMD-4 fires from a 30-mm automatic gun 2A72, covering the landing of the troops. The video is shortened, showing active moments of the battle.
It doesnt look like up armored a lot. Most IFV and tanks we see lately are more like barns than anything else. Less FPV on the front ?
Not sure if you can uparmor BMD any further without compromising its engine power to weight ratio and suspension.
