Russian Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

I did a reverse image search and that first system is actually the Belarussian Flute MLRS. Not a Russian system.

I am not sure if the video is even showing the thing they are talking about. Which seems to be Grad-P.

It is pretty obvious the problem here is cost. They are basically mounting Grad systems on pickup trucks.
This is similar to systems seen in Syria.

The video actually shows multiple systems. The legacy Grad, the Tornado-G, and newer systems which are meant to be cheaper and more mobile albeith with shorter range. The video shows the Grad and Tornado-G at times, but the topic it is talking about is the newer cheaper systems.

This system seems to be fully automated and digitized. It uses the newer short 122mm rockets. The thing is, with the increases in capability given to the Grad in its Tornado-G form with composite casing and more energetic propellant, this new system likely ends up having similar range and capabilities to the original Grad but can be placed in a much lighter weight platform. I mean just look at it, this is a two axle truck, instead of the three axle truck you typically see used with the Grad.

Then you have this system mounted on regular pickups, which looks similar to systems seen in Syria.

It is basically a way to provide cheap mobile harassment fire.

The truck in the first picture with the Grad, what truck is that? Looks awesome. I can't get my eyes off that beast.

The top grey one. Take out the Grad and put an overlanding camper module instead and head out to the unknown.

Mysterious EW system may be responsible for planting thousands of Ukrainian drones, intercepting and blocking datalinks and GPS signals to many weapons.

Correction of previous video. Its 4000 pcs of artillery delivered, another 700 will soon be delivered.

Increased mass production of TOS units.

This goes with the video previously posted. TOS-1A units having increased mass production (what happened to the truck based TOS-2?) Not just that but also T-80BVM.

New Su-35S aircraft handed over to Russian Aerospace Forces
06/23/2023

Russian aircraft manufacturers handed over new Su-35S multifunctional fighters to the Russian Aerospace Forces. Deliveries of Su-57s will increase this year, the United Aircraft Corporation reported.

“We will continue to fulfill our obligations under the concluded contracts. Su-35 aircraft of the following batches are in production. In addition, this year the volume of deliveries of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters to the Russian Aerospace Forces will increase, ”said Yury Slyusar, General Director of the UAC.

The Su-35S is one of the best tactical aircraft in the world, capable of performing a wide range of missions and enjoying well-deserved success. A batch of new aircraft was handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defense by the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant. Yu.A. Gagarin. Combat vehicles made a flight from the factory airfield to the home airfield.

The Su-35S were accepted by technical services and passed factory tests. Each aircraft was tested in the air in various operating modes.

“The rhythmic fulfillment of the state defense order in compliance with all delivery dates and meeting the needs of our armed forces in modern technology is a priority task for the military-industrial complex. This work is controlled by the Coordinating Council under the Government of the Russian Federation,” said Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Thanks to state support, UAC enterprises fulfilling the state defense order were able to introduce new production facilities, increase serial production and increase production volumes, the press service of the corporation added.

I'm curious if the "new batch" is actually the one destined for Egypt/Iran.

Probably not since there was an order made by the Russian government a couple years ago. So the order for Egypt would have been separate from that.

As the basis for the MLRS selected chassis of the armored car Asilak. This car is a Belarusian licensed version of the Russian Buran car built on the chassis of the GAZ-3308 Sadko truck. In connection with the installation of the launcher, the armored car loses the rear of the protected case; only a double cabin remains.

There are other systems based on that chassis as well.
