Su-35 delivery for VKS, seemingly first for 2026.
Hi,
are these with upgrades like AESA radar or some other upgrades which wasn’t there before
thank you
The Russian company Lobaev Arms and the Design Bureau of Integrated Systems (KBIS) unveiled the "Dvoynik" robotic sniper system. The "Dvoynik" system can be mounted on robotic chassis, including the NRTK Kurier robots, and can be used stationary or on various vehicles. The system operates in remote-control mode and in a partially autonomous mode, where most calculations and targeting functions are performed by artificial intelligence. An autonomous mode is also available, presumably for protecting a specific area. During testing, the system demonstrated high accuracy with weapons of various calibers. The manufacturer claims the system provides a firing accuracy of 0.2 minutes of arc. The company has already begun serial production, even before receiving a state defense order.
I think Irbis might be replaced in the future. As of now it appears that the Su-35 along with the MiG-31BM might be used like mini AWACS networking with ground AD against Ukrainian drone and cruise missile strikes. The Su-35 also act like early warning against missiles targeting Su-34, then act as decoys and throw flares.
Servicemen from the Russian Dnepr Forces Group showed footage of the Kurier robotic platform being used for cargo delivery. The video also shows the first footage of the Kurier robotic platform towing a 122mm D-30 howitzer. Using robotic platforms for ammunition delivery and evacuation saves personnel lives. It was previously reported that the Kurier robotic platform has a load capacity of 200 kilograms, plus it can tow an additional 200 kilograms on a trailer. Judging by the video, the Kurier robot can tow a trailer weighing over three tons.
this is insane
T-90M with Hedgehog armor. This thing seems begging drone operators to "come at me bro". At this point, many places are no longer defended by Ukrainian troops, instead by Ukrainian drones. The effect is to dissuade and slow down Russian assaults by imposing casualties. However if tanks aggro, 'tank', and soak up drones, they will buy time and cover for the Russian troop assaults.
Footage of the assembly and launch of the Russian KUB drone, manufactured by ZALA AERO. The KUB drone is less expensive than the Lancet drone and has been in use since 2022. In the US, it has been dubbed "Ukraine's nightmare." Most often, the drone is used to destroy enemy structures and personnel, and is primarily equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead containing HMX. The drone may already be equipped with a terminal targeting system. The KUB drone is constantly being improved, and its specifications are evolving. Currently, it is known that the KUB drone weighs between 10 and 15 kg, and its flight range already exceeds 50 km. It reaches speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour and carries a payload of 3 kg. Its flight endurance is 30 minutes, at altitudes of up to 1,000 meters.
