The Russian satellite Internet, Bureau-1440 has already been tested. The Russian analogue of Starlink satellite Internet has been successfully tested. Bureau 1440, a member of ICS Holding, announced the successful testing of Russian satellite Internet, the connection was made to three satellites of the Rassvet-1 type, previously launched by a launch vehicle from the Vostochny cosmodrome. During the tests, data was transmitted at a speed of about 12 Mbit / s, and the delay was 41 ms, in the future, speeds of 100 Mbit / s or more are expected.After the completion of the necessary experiments, all Rassvet-1 satellites will be deorbited, after which Bureau 1440 will begin to prepare for mass production It is planned to launch 10-12 rockets per year into orbit starting from 2025, about 15 satellites can fit into one rocket. , which will provide Internet coverage of the entire territory of Russia.

Dropping and strikes of Russian FAB-500 gliding bombs in Ukraine. Rare footage of Russian FAB-500M62 air bombs being dropped in Ukraine, equipped with universal planning and correction modules. The video shows the process of opening the wings on the FAB-500M62 bombs and its strikes on targets. Gliding bombs are dropped from a Russian Su-34 aircraft. The UMPC bomb module includes special wings that fold out in flight and a wind drift correction system. UMPC modules for air bombs are equipped with jamming-resistant Kometa-M receivers to protect them from the effects of electronic warfare interference. The use of aerial bombs equipped with a planning module makes it possible to strike with bombs at a distance of up to 70 kilometers, while the aircraft is not included in the air defense zone.

Krasnopol-M2 shells have begun to gradually seep into service with the Russian Army. The previous Krasnopol has a range of up to 25km, the new variant has been geolocated in a strike in the Kupyan region of up to 37km.


See 30:42 of this video for the geolocation and video of the strike that established 37km. It may still not be it's planned maximum range however.


New stuff with the Russian Army tends to appear in the northern front first before appearing elsewhere. Examples include the latest T-90 variant, the BMPT Terminator and the ATGM-ATV panzerjaeger teams.

Latest Russian EW systems specifically jam GPS. This is why I suspect the Ukrainians are using laser guided Kvitnik and Karasuk shells off their vintage 122mm and 152mm tube artillery and one factor out of some why units still equipped Soviet weaponry is outperforming the ones with Western systems. The main purpose of the EW systems is to create spoof imitation signals that contain false data which induces errors to the victim system leading to misses.

The M2 is an export with 155mm caliber. The longer ranging one in Russian use should be Krasnopol-D

It is possible to fire direct fire from the ground, for this, a separate 2B24 mortar is included in the armored vehicle kit. The Drok armored car is equipped with mechanized guidance drives, a modern fire control system and digital equipment that provides the crew with the ability to work independently and communicate with control vehicles. To protect against an explosion with a power of up to 8 kg in TNT equivalent, Typhoon-VDV received energy-absorbing seats and a V-shaped bottom. The armored car is also equipped with a remotely controlled combat module with a heavy machine gun, and equipment blocks of the optical-electronic countermeasures complex are also located on the roof. The power reserve of the Typhoon-VDV armored vehicle is 800 km, the maximum speed is 100 km / h, the engine power is 350 hp. With. The vehicle is capable of climbing or descending at an angle of at least 30 degrees, a moat about 0.5 m wide and forcing water barriers at least 1.5 m deep.

The power of the transmitters of the "Peroed" complex is from 20 to 40 watts. The complex works autonomously from the battery for 40 minutes, or from the mains and car battery. The drone suppression distance at some frequencies is up to 250 meters, the complex is equipped with a remote control. The cost of the "Peroed" drone suppression complex is 350,000 rubles, or $3,770. The complex is already in the army and has good reviews. In more detail below, an interview with the developer and the suppression of the complex, the DJI Mavic civilian drone.

Krasnopol-D then, as it does normal modern LR rounds shenanigans to fly further.

M2 is a 155 NATO caliber version(export) of a normal M.

The Russian soldier offered protection against the defeat of the MLRS HIMARS. As you know, the Ukrainian army actively uses the HIMARS MLRS, the striking elements of these rockets are made of tungsten balls that pierce up to 6 mm of metal. Technique after such blows is all like a sieve. One of the Russian servicemen who repairs Russian military equipment damaged in the battles in Ukraine said that tungsten balls do not penetrate hard rubber protection. We don’t know how reliable this is, but according to him, the MT-LB military tractor was protected by a hard rubber conveyor belt and the HIMARS MLRS submunitions did not penetrate it. It is not yet known whether such protection against the HIMARS MLRS began to be used.
