The head of the Ministry of Defense inspected the progress of the state defense order and visited the final assembly shops of Su-34 aircraft. During his visit, the management of the aircraft plant reported that currently the enterprise is capable of not only producing Su-34 aircraft, but also carrying out major overhauls of aircraft. Now, in order to save money on production, the company combines aircraft repair work with their modernization. The plant director said that the company has mastered the process of repairing all aircraft parts. The head of the military department set the task for the management of the enterprise to increase the pace of production and repair of equipment, taking into account the demand for its products, since Su-34 aircraft are now most used by aviation.

This "Phlox" mortar system is really important. Russia has a lack of modern small short range artillery across the wide front in Ukraine. To the point they are taking T-55 tanks out of storage to use them as artillery. This is a much better solution which can also use the guided Kilotov round. It also means they do not have to use a BMP-3 chassis like with the Vena, which is much less widely available.

Production and launch of Russian Sarmat nuclear missiles. The Russian Minister of Defense checked the progress of the state defense order at the Krasmash JSC defense industry enterprise in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The company produces Sarmat fifth-generation strategic missiles, footage of missile launches at the end of the video. The company is currently producing the first production missiles, which will be put on combat duty in the very near future. The General Director of Krasmash JSC reported on the expansion of the enterprise’s production capacity, equipping it with modern technological equipment and the imminent commissioning of a new production building. The Sarmat strategic missile will replace the Voevoda strategic missiles; NATO called these missiles “Satan.” The Sarmat missile carries 10 Avangard guided warheads, the power of each warhead is 750 kilotons. The advantage of this rocket is a quick launch, it enters orbit faster and has much greater energy, allowing it to carry out a nuclear strike from any direction, including through the South Pole.
Russian sniper rifle SHF Chukavin will be mass-produced. The new Chukavina sniper rifle will be put into mass production; the Kalashnikov concern has already completed testing of the SHF rifle. Created to replace the legendary Dragunov SVD rifle, the Chukavina rifle was first introduced in 2017. The Chukavina rifle is designed to defeat enemy personnel at short and medium distances. The small dimensions of the rifle allow the sniper to use it in close combat. The Chukavina semi-automatic sniper rifle uses 7.62x54 mm caliber cartridges. The effective firing range of the new rifle is exactly the same as the SVD, which uses the same cartridge. Many people wonder why it was necessary to make a new rifle then. The fact is that the ergonomics and accuracy of fire on the Chukavin rifle have been improved by 25–30%; it is also equipped with a bipod. You can shoot confidently from a rifle up to a kilometer; at long ranges, the 7.62x54 mm cartridge does not allow you to confidently hit targets. The Chukavin rifle can be equipped with all modern types of equipment, both Russian and foreign made: silencers, thermal, night and infrared sights, as well as laser target designators. The rifle without a magazine weighs 4.8 kilograms.
Test of a Russian thermite incendiary grenade. The latest Russian thermite-incendiary ammunition was tested by special forces soldiers of the Russian National Guard. A thermite incendiary grenade was dropped on the skeleton of an armored personnel carrier. This ammunition allows you to set fire to military equipment and fortified enemy targets; the brand of ammunition is not disclosed.
Assembly of Russian military transport aircraft Il-76. The execution of the state defense order at the Russian aircraft plant "Aviastar" in Ulyanovsk was checked by the Russian Minister of Defense. The plant produces the main Russian military transport aircraft Il-76MD-90A and repairs heavy transport aircraft An-124-100. As the minister said, now the load on aviation has increased significantly, it is 2 times more than it was during the most tense moments during the Soviet era.
The minister also noted that it is necessary to increase the production of Il-76 aircraft, and to quickly modernize older versions. During a visit to the aircraft plant, the minister clarified the type of engines that are planned to be installed on promising models of heavy transport aircraft, as well as during the modernization of An-124-100 aircraft. He was informed that now there are two configuration options - either the modernized D-18T engine or the PD-35 engine. Episodes of assembly of Russian Il-76 aircraft in video.

A soldier's story about a rare modification of the Russian T-80UE-1 tank. The T-80UE-1 tank is a modernization of the T-80BV tank to the T-80U level. The tank has a turret from T-80UD tanks. The tank is equipped with a Belarusian thermal imager, with a French thermal imaging matrix from Thales.
Soviet has like over 800 transport aircraft at its peak. Russia will be less than 200. I would estimate that use of choppers will be much more than Soviet period. Choppers are present in CSTO 2023 exercise when fighters are not.
they also use air transport instead of ground transport and the other interesting is desert color vehicles by Russia.
