Tests of the Russian sniper rifle ORSIS 12.7. The five-shot ORSIS 12.7 rifle from Promtekhnologiya is designed for the 12.7x99 mm NATO cartridge and the more powerful Russian 12.7x108 mm cartridge. The rifle is equipped with a Picatinny rail. The effective firing range of the rifle is up to 2600 meters, weight is 12.4 kg. Accuracy of fire is 1 arc minute; to put it simply, from a rifle you can hit a circle with a diameter of 2.9 cm at a distance of 100 meters. The rifle is capable of piercing double brick walls at a distance of 1.5 kilometers. It is worth noting that shooting from 12.7 caliber rifles is harmful to health, the brain gets microconcussions, and the retina may detach. The penetrating power of the ORSIS 12.7 rifle was tested on a brick wall, 5 centimeter bulletproof glass and a bulletproof vest of protection class 6. Shooting was carried out with conventional and armor-piercing cartridges. The energy of 12.7 caliber cartridges can be assessed at the end of the video, using the example of a hole in a bar of soap that imitates a human body.
Russian Guard exercises, MT-12 “Rapier” artillery gun. Units of the Russian Guard conducted exercises using 100-mm MT-12 Rapier anti-tank guns. The MT-12 Rapier anti-tank gun was developed in the early 1960s and is a modernization of the 100 mm T-12 anti-tank gun. Previously, these guns were removed from storage; they are mainly used for the defense of high-risk, energy and life support facilities.
Russia began using the TOS-2 Tosochka combat vehicle. The Russian army began using the TOS-2 Tosochka heavy flamethrower vehicle. The TOS-2 heavy flamethrower vehicle was created on the basis of the TOS-1 Buratino and TOS-1A Solntsepek, however, unlike them, it has a wheeled chassis and significantly better characteristics. The combat vehicle was first shown in 2020. TOS-2 "Tosochka" is located on the "Tornado-U" wheeled chassis. A wheeled platform, compared to a tracked one, makes it possible to quickly deliver a combat vehicle to a firing position, and it is also cheaper to produce. The number of guide tubes for missiles has been reduced, now there are 18 of them, the caliber of the missiles remains the same 220 mm. Now they are using new TBS-M3 missiles; the firing range has begun to reach 16 and even 18 kilometers, according to some sources. TOS-2 with new missiles can hit targets over an area of 6 hectares. An important difference from previous TOS combat vehicles is the presence of an automatic crane for feeding shells; there is no need to use a transport-loading vehicle. The TOS-2 combat vehicle received modern guidance and fire control systems, they became automated. Satellite navigation, a Doppler speed meter, an inertial measurement unit, the latest communication system and a weather station make it much easier for a crew of 3 to complete a combat mission. The vehicle has an electronic defense system.
The Russian military plant Almaz-Antey was built in record time. In Moscow, a military plant of the Almaz-Antey concern was built in a record 8 months. The products of the Almaz-Antey concern are known all over the world; the plant produces air defense systems, in particular, the S-400 air defense system and the S-500 air defense system. The company also produces radars, locators and civilian products. The area of the new military plant is more than 90 thousand square meters, on the areas of which, under one roof, there will be areas for processing, assembly and testing of manufactured products. This arrangement will make it possible to maximally increase production rates to the level required to meet not only current, but also future needs of the Russian Ministry of Defense
Admiral Golovko about to enter Sea Trial. This marks the milestone for Russian marine gas turbine development, post 2014. The ship bears the "all Russian" M90FR gas turbine engine previously imported from Ukraine.
This is the best and most advanced frigate design in the world right now. Even after many years passed since its introduction. The Russians just don't have that many of them though. It has been a real mess with the ministry of defense suing the builders for non-delivery. But it's not like they can deliver ships when the parts to make them were not available.Admiral Golovko about to enter Sea Trial.

The other thing i would love to see is diversification, that These gorshkov shouldnt just be built in Baltic, but North and Pacific too.
The Russian system for protecting equipment from drones, the Volnorez electronic warfare system, has also begun to be installed on armored personnel carriers. A Russian serviceman showed the Volnorez electronic warfare system installed on the BTR-80. Some details about the system have begun to appear; according to a serviceman, the Volnorez electronic warfare system jams FPV drones at a range of up to 600 meters.
Those cables looks vulnerable. Unfortunately tho, not much can be done to them as the jammer is "add on". Possible solution would be use of battery and some form of wireless connection. But this will complicate the design.
The ultimate solution would be a standard, where the equipment is built in.
