Installation of anti-cumulative screens on the BTR-82 of Russia. During the field repair of military equipment, Russian servicemen showed the installation of lattice anti-cumulative screens on the BTR-82 and the installation of canopies from drones on the TOS-1A Solntsepek combat vehicles. Anti-cumulative grilles do not provide one hundred percent protection, but reduce the risk of hitting an armored vehicle, and in some cases divert the cumulative jet to the side.

The work of the Russian electronic warfare complex Krasukha-4 in Ukraine, an overview. The crew of the Russian electronic warfare complex "Krasukha-4" spoke about his combat work in Ukraine. The Krasukha-4 electronic warfare complex was put into service in 2012, the data on it are all classified. The EW 1RL257 complex suppresses airborne radar stations of aviation and missiles, as well as UAV control channels at a distance, presumably up to 300 kilometers. EW Krasukha was also used to jam the Starlink signal, which was used by Ukrainian units to communicate with each other. One of the main tasks of the system is the neutralization of AWACS flying radars. Without their help, F-22 Raptor and F-35 aircraft are difficult to target and cannot fully use airborne radars. The Krasukha-4 electronic warfare complex consists of two machines, one contains the calculation of the installation, and the antennas are placed on the other. The Krasukha-4 electronic warfare complex is located on the KamAZ chassis and is constantly being upgraded, the calculation of the complex is up to 7 people.
The work of Russian snipers with the Raptor BespokeGun rifle in Ukraine. The commander of the sniper group, with the call sign Yary, will talk about his combat work in Ukraine. The sniper uses the Russian name Raptor rifle in 8.6 mm from BespokeGun in his work. The Raptor rifle is designed for extreme durability and is capable of withstanding extreme loads. In the production of a rifle, for the first time in the world, a new technology for manufacturing a chamber has been successfully applied, this is the place where the cartridge fits. The rifle was created in the shortest possible time in close cooperation with Russian snipers. The high accuracy of manufacturing the rifle, triple thermal stabilization in the production of components, an aluminum stock, made it possible to achieve high accuracy of fire. The rifle is fitted with a "Picatinny" rail and has a 5-round magazine. The weight of the rifle is 7 kg, the effective range of the rifle is up to 2000 meters. The basic equipment of the rifle costs from 1,250,000 rubles or $15,000.
Statistics and combat use of Russian Lancet kamikaze drones in Ukraine. The creators of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drones continue to share information about their drones and show their use. Approximate statistics of the combat work of Lancet drones in Ukraine has been published. At the moment, it is known that Lancet drones hit 32 air defense systems, 37 tanks, 87 self-propelled guns of various types, 15 MLRS, 114 guns and mortars, 35 radar stations in Ukraine. The scale of the use of the drone is such that at the beginning of the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army, 60 pieces of equipment were hit by the Lancet drone in 4 days. The exact price of the Lancet drone is unknown, as is the degree of its localization, but according to the creator, one ruble invested is conditionally returned, 400 rubles of lost enemy equipment. Combat work of the calculation of the drone "Lancet" in Ukraine in the video.
New Yak-130 aircraft received by the Russian Air Force, review. The Irkutsk Aviation Plant handed over a new batch of Yak-130 aircraft to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The Yak-130 combat training aircraft was chosen as the base aircraft for training pilots of the Russian Aerospace Forces. It allows you to train pilots of combat aircraft of the 4+ and fifth generation combat aircraft at the most modern level. The Russian turbojet combat training aircraft Yak-130 was put into service in 2011, Italy also participated in the development of the aircraft, but withdrew from the project, having received all the documentation, it is produced in Italy under the designation Aermacchi M-346. Also, with modifications, the aircraft is also produced in China under the Hongdu L-15 index, the Italian and Chinese version, after modifications it has better characteristics in some respects. A unique feature of the Yak-130 is that the aircraft, thanks to the KSU-130 digital integrated control system, can simulate the handling characteristics of many aircraft, including the F-16, F-15, Rafale, as well as the Eurofighter Typhoon, F-22 and F-35. Unlike foreign analogues, in order to improve maintainability, Russian aircraft manufacturers have completely abandoned composites in the aircraft, all airframe elements are made of light aluminum-magnesium-lithium alloys. Equipped with two Ukrainian-made AI-222-25 engines, but already localized in Russia, the aircraft has a speed of up to 960 km/h, with a flight altitude of up to 12,500 meters and a combat load of up to 3,000 kg. The flight range of the aircraft without external tanks is 2000 kilometers. The price of the Yak-130 aircraft for export is $15 million, for the domestic market it is $7 million, which is cheaper than the Italian aircraft, but more expensive than the Chinese one. In the future, it is planned to create a heavy UAV based on the aircraft.
Russia is preparing new armored personnel carriers-82 with radar to combat UAVs. At the International Youth Industrial Forum "Engineers of the Future - 2023" held in Tula, an experienced Russian armored personnel carrier BTR-82A designed to combat UAVs was spotted. There is no information about the new armored vehicle, it is known that the BTR-82A has a module with two 23-mm 2A7 anti-aircraft guns, which were previously used on the tracked ZSU-23-4 Shilka. To detect air targets. The armored personnel carrier was equipped with a radar station, as well as an aiming, located in the front in the form of a sphere, panoramic and panoramic station of JSC "NTC Elins". It is assumed that the armored personnel carrier will be able to hit UAVs at a distance of up to 2500 meters, with a target flight altitude of up to 1500 meters.
Russian FPV drone "Hortensia" began to be mass-produced. In Russia, many FPV drones are now being produced, most of them are assembled in small volumes from parts purchased in online stores, but few have reached large production volumes. One of the design bureaus in St. Petersburg began to produce them on an industrial scale. A new Russian FPV drone "Hortensia" is being assembled in the Design Bureau. Production volumes are quite large, up to 3,000 drones per month, drones are already being purchased by Russian units and volunteers. So far, little is known about the Hydrangea drone, the range of the drone is up to 3 kilometers, the flight time is up to 8 minutes, and the payload weight is up to 2 kilograms. The drone can fly in EW environments and uses gimbals for a variety of munitions.
