The Russian electronic intelligence system "Gadalka" (Gadalka), manufactured by Groza, was unveiled at an exhibition in Kazan. The system is designed to detect aerial targets and identify reconnaissance drones. It operates in passive mode and does not emit its own radio waves; it only receives signals from detected objects. The system has a range of up to 50 kilometers. To locate targets, it analyzes signals across a wide frequency range—from 890 to 6000 MHz. The system can simultaneously monitor five frequency bands. Information about detected objects is transmitted to service members in real time via the Glaz/Groza battle management system.
Su-34 post Ukraine has so many changes that when the tvzvezda did a programme about it. he was not allowed to show picture of the factory rather use old factory video unlike Kim visit to Su-35 factory.
I dont think what they show those standard 4 or 6 glide bombs as limit of Su-34. There was video about it in Arabic where comparing standard destruction power language was used it was like several fighter bombers per sortie. That 6 sorties per 24 hour period was from 2023. I will not be surprised that with more efficient turn around 10 sorties per bomber per 24 hour period. Greater internal fuel, greater acceleration.
Su-34 comes with 3000L factory fuel tank.
16 type of guided weopons and that was 2024.

Artillery and tanks in action. Keep in mind the opposition side has similar assets doing the same things in parallel. This makes the destruction of every artillery piece and tank both still highly consequential in battle.
Typical day of a tank, doing drone spotted indirect fire. As it turns out, it's surprisingly effective.
"The crew of the T-72B3M tank of the «Center» group of troops destroyed an ammunition depot of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from a closed firing position in the Dnepropetrovsk direction
Having received the coordinates of the Ukrainian Armed Forces ammunition depot discovered by reconnaissance UAVs, the crew fired a series of accurate shots with 125-mm high-explosive fragmentation shells from a closed position at a distance of more than 7 km, firing along a curtain path, which made it possible to hit a target not in line of sight.
According to objective control data, the hit caused the detonation of stored ammunition and the complete destruction of the warehouse."
Hyacinth-S in action. Despite being Soviet era, this self propelled gun piece is effective and popular.
An Orlan-30 and MSTA-S executes a Krasnopol-M2 strike with Group North of forces.
An Akasya SPG attached with Group East doing it's thing in Zaporizhye. Targets are opposing UAV control points. All 152mm pieces are capable of firing Krasnopol.
Uragan MLRS of Group West doing it's thing on a concentrated group of forces. MLRS is called in once an enemy concentration is spotted by drone.
D-30 howitzer working on a heavy drone control point, meaning Baba Yagas and R-18. The range of an unguided 122mm shell is only 15km, yet the howitzer managed to work on it. This is what happens when an effectively camouflaged gun piece escapes drone detection and somehow, someone made the mistake of putting the drone control center a bit close to an undetected gun.

i posted one or two years ago that Tupolev head stated that they want to use Tu-160M2 or PAK-DA new production line for Tu-214.
now new buildings are approved for Tu-214. this after completing workshop for components for Tu-214 size of three foot ball fields.
Kazan already Aviation capital of Russia.
that special customer Tu-214 production continuing
This Shahed drone factory is located in Civilian industrial zone that spread thousands of hectares and drone assembly several hundred hectares. so why people think these Shahid drones can be mass produced in small factory? when engine and explosive alone added huge supply chain. components can be stored under ground or small locations but main factory will be always huge.
It says Russia has exported greater than 450 helicopters to China. If China gets so many choppers than imagine how big is Russia helicopter fleet now after multiple production increases.

Krasnopol can deliver a 1-2 meter CEP against a bunker at range compared to 5-7 meter CEP using GPS guided munitions, which can further widen with ECM. A direct hit on a trench bunker either on the entrance or on the roof top can collapse the bunker itself.
At the Drone Expo 2026 exhibition in Kazan, a Russian UAZ vehicle with protection against FPV drones and new armor was showcased. In addition to anti-drone spikes, the UAZ is also equipped with composite hardening armor. The same protective solutions as standard military body armor were used in the creation of the armor. Resin-based armor elements were embedded in a reinforcing base and applied to the vehicle. As explained by the managing partner of NPO Photopolymer, the resin polymerizes under ultraviolet light and rigidly holds its shape, allowing this armor to be applied to any surface. Tests have shown that the composite armor meets protection classes Br5 (against 7.62mm bullets) and C2 (against fragments). The material maintains its properties under extreme conditions.
How time changes. Same source, too
