Because the logistics is not there.

I'm sure the Chinese wouldn't mind helping set it up for a few billion. The cost of establishing those logistics would be worth it a thousand times over. If Russia were able to sustain the continuous deployment of even 1 fully-loaded Borei in Baikal, then it would never have to worry about a counterforce first-strike again. It would be truly safe for the first time.

Russian military personnel began to use the SLIB-177 laser complex in exercises. The SLIB-177 laser combat simulation system is designed for training and tactical training of soldiers. In simple terms, a soldier is wearing a vest with laser sensors, and the weapon is equipped with an Aspid laser designator combined with a trigger. During the exercise, the system analyzes whether the soldier was hit and in what area. The SLIB-177 complex is quite complex and operates on microcomputers. The operating time of the complex is 10 hours, the range of use is up to 800 meters. In a more complex version, the soldier's vest can be equipped with electroshock devices to simulate a hit.

Overview of the reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs of project 18280 of Russia and the reflection of the attack of sea drones of Ukraine.

The reconnaissance ship "Ivan Khurs" of the Black Sea Fleet arrived at the permanent base in Sevastopol. Earlier on May 24, it was reported that the ship was attacked by sea drones. As you can see from the video, the ship is intact and has no roll and visible damage. The medium reconnaissance ship "Ivan Khurs" of project 18280 is the most modern reconnaissance ship in Russia, the first ship of this project was commissioned into the fleet in 2015. The main purpose of the ship is to provide communications, conduct radio reconnaissance and electronic warfare, and also monitor the components of the American missile defense system. The ship's equipment captures radio signals in a wide frequency range and determines the location of their source. The ship is capable of receiving and quickly processing a huge amount of information via several channels at once and coordinating the actions of the fleet. The armament of the ship, four naval pedestal installations with 14.5-mm machine guns and several MANPADS. The total displacement of the ship is 4,000 tons, cruising range is 8,000 miles, with a maximum speed of 20 knots. The autonomy of the ship is 45 days, the crew is 120 people.


Video of the attack by Ukrainian naval drones on the Russian warship Ivan Khurs on May 24 in the Black Sea. The Russian reconnaissance ship of project 18280 "Ivan Khurs" was attacked 140 kilometers northeast of the Bosphorus. Reportedly, all the drones that attacked the ship were destroyed by the standard weapons of the ship. The episode of repelling the attack of Ukrainian naval drones is shown on the video. According to the latest data, one sea drone broke through to the ship, the video of this attack by the Ukrainian drone is in the telegram channel.

But you have a lot more artillery units in terms of kind, possibly in the tens of thousands made, with a huge variety, and a massive reserve of shells that hasn't been depleted to this day. The Soviets have the biggest and most powerful artillery including the world's largest mortar and the world's largest self propelled mortar. Note how so many vintage artillery units and SPGs can still be used in this war even on both sides in a daily business, but their aircraft contemporaries such as MiG-21, Su-7, MiG-23 and MiG-27 are not.

They are used because airpower is not fully modernized and mass deployed. give it few more years and there will be less need of artillery.
That is Soviet procurement of artillery with some Russian modernization and refurbishment. it is low investment as compared to pilots and maintenance of older planes.
Video release is not the indication of extent of use or importance of a system. Artillery are difficult to support logistically as drones, satellites, fighter planes can observe alot of moving support structure.
Russia procurement is more towards airpower this large scale procurement of aviation created a need for faster and better training for pilots. more evidence will come out that monetary and industrial resources allocated to Airpower and drones will take the place of artillery as drone range and self guiding technology improves there will be much less need of artillery shells. There will still need of long range high speed rocket systems. but traditional towed artillery will be less.

A fighter pilot, as they joke in aviation, is one of the most expensive parts of an aircraft. Indeed, training a modern fighter pilot costs about $5 million. Recently, thanks to new technologies, it has become possible to reduce labor costs for his training by 1.5-2 times.

"This is actually the first year of the highly serial production of Su-57 planes in Komsomolsk and subsequently their number will increase. We reached more or less substantial production of these planes this year," the top executive said in a live broadcast on the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

Yes, parts of it were found by AFU forces after impact.

The fight against drones in Ukraine, the use of Wi-Fi signal analyzers. Russian military personnel spoke about the method of detecting drones in Ukraine using portable Wi-Fi signal spectrum analyzers. To combat drones, the Russian LPD-801 anti-drone gun from the PPSh Laboratory and other anti-drone systems are used.

Overview of the new self-propelled guns Malva Russia. In Russia, tests of the new self-propelled artillery gun 2S43 "Malva" have been completed, the self-propelled guns will soon begin to enter the troops. The self-propelled guns "Malva" were first shown in 2019, after which its testing and design refinement began. The self-propelled guns are placed on the BAZ-6010-027 chassis and have a gross weight of 32 tons. The Malva self-propelled guns use the 152-mm 2A64 rifled howitzer, borrowed from the 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled guns. The gun has a barrel length of 47 calibers, this is 7170 mm. After the first display of the self-propelled guns, many had a question why they made a new clone of the Msta-S self-propelled guns. The fact is that, in the conditions of modern wars, mobility has become important, self-propelled guns now fire for a short time and change positions. Thanks to its lightweight design, the self-propelled guns quickly change position and are easier to transport by aircraft. With the introduction of the wheeled chassis, the self-propelled guns became more technologically advanced and cheaper to manufacture and operate. Ammunition self-propelled guns "Malva" 30 shots of separate-sleeve loading, it is transported in boxes on the installation. Charging of shells and shells is carried out manually by a crew of 5 people. The rate of fire of self-propelled guns is 7 rounds per minute. The maximum firing range is up to 29 km. 470 hp motor provides self-propelled guns "Malva" with a maximum speed of up to 90 km per hour. Power reserve - 1000 km.
