Russia has a winning strategy by sowing mine in the path of Uki armor, Which will disable their armor to be killed by ATGM or FPV drone or Krasnopol. Then when they were immobilized Russia sent the jumping mine using rockets or artillery. But it is a mystery how they managed to sow so many mines Here is WSJ take on it
Ukraine’s push to retake territory back from Russia has been slow, as its forces face a deadly problem: landmines. Russian troops spent months fortifying the 900-mile-long front line with anti-tank ditches, concrete obstacles, trenches and minefields. How is the Ukrainian military adapting to account for these mines? WSJ explains how Moscow created one of the largest minefields in the world in the occupied regions and what it means for Kyiv’s counteroffensive.


Russia introduced a new drone called Castello named after a Soviet hero who kamikazed his plane after being hit There plethora of drones Ghoul, Gadfly and now this guy. Does not seem to have a problem with parts guess Russia must have a zillion of washing machines ;) Some of them are so cheap only $450, This new drone is specially designed for war they have an AI search algorithm
There are two main types of loitering munition: the larger, military version, like the U.S. Phoenix Ghost and Russian Lancet-3M, and smaller, improvised FPVs made from modified racing drones. Both work in the same way; the operator, wearing immersive video goggles, flies the drone to the known location of an enemy vehicle, finds it, and crashes the drone with its anti-armor warhead into the target.

A Russian soldier showed a German machine gun MG 3, which was used by one of the Ukrainian units. The MG 3 machine gun was captured during the fighting in the Krasnolimansky direction. At the end of the fifties, the German MG 42 machine gun was modernized and put into service under the MG 3 index, the machine gun was converted to a 7.62 × 51 mm cartridge. To do this, the barrel and some other elements of the weapon had to be replaced, and numerous small improvements were also made. The MG 3 machine gun is now quite widely used by many countries.

How the Russian armored personnel carrier BTR-82A was modernized, review. The modernized Russian BTR-82A was presented at the Army Exhibition 2023. Judging by the volume of upgrades, for this it would be worth assigning a new index to the machine. And so, the BTR-82A has changed better, now it has an engine located in front, and the landing is carried out from behind. Regarding the topic of landing behind an armored vehicle, there are still disputes on this topic, since when it hits the ass, the landing cannot leave the car, some believe that the landing on the sides of the car is safer. Also, the 20-ton armored personnel carrier differs from its predecessor in a modified layout. The front of the vehicle is reinforced with more resistant armor, the armored personnel carrier holds a charge of B-32 bullets of 12.7 mm caliber, and in some cases even on the territory of 23 mm. The anti-mine protection of the days has also been improved, it now has a V-shape. Additional blocks with a ceramic fastener can be hung on the body of the armored personnel carrier. The armament of the vehicle is a 30-mm 2A72 cannon, a thermal imaging channel has been added to the module at the terminals. On the armored personnel carrier, you can put another combat module. The armored personnel carrier was equipped with air conditioning and anti-mine seats for 8 troops. The armored personnel carrier is equipped with a diesel engine with a capacity of 330 horsepower and can accelerate on the highway up to 85 km / h. The price of the new armored personnel carrier and when it will be released is unknown.

Russian reconnaissance UAV Z-20 from the creators of the Lancet drone. Russian drone developer ZALA Aero Group, which produces Lancet drones, has unveiled a new long-range UAV Z-20. The Z-20 drone is equipped with an on-board computer that uses artificial intelligence algorithms, which makes it possible to use the drone more efficiently than analogues from other manufacturers. There are few details about the UAV, it is known that the new drone model has an increased payload, which allows you to install a different payload depending on the tasks, what exactly is set is unknown. Perhaps the new UAV will look for targets for Lancet drones. The UAV is equipped with an electric motor, flies for more than 6 hours and transmits HD video at a distance of more than 100 km. The UAV is designed for reconnaissance and observation of objects. The drone is launched from a catapult, landing by parachute. The Z-20 UAV is already in production, the price is unknown.

6+ hours flight time is amazing for a battery powered small drone.

Russian protection of tanks from drones EW complex "Volnorez". Russian troops received a new set of electronic warfare "Volnorez" to protect tanks from drones. This complex was seen at the Army 2023 exhibition, it was installed on the T-80BVM tank. No information on the electronic warfare complex "Volnorez" could not be found at the moment. It is known that the complex was created by craftsmen and 40 sets of it have already entered the troops. Ukrainian media reported that this was supposedly a complex for equipping tanks with communications, but this is not so. The developers have already talked about the Breakwater electronic warfare, it has already passed preliminary tests, unfortunately they did not provide technical information. This complex should protect tanks from being hit by FPV drones.
