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.

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.
