Russian mechanics spoke about the features of tank repairs and their breakdowns. Repair teams carry out field repairs of Russian military equipment around the clock. At the moment, this is the most detailed interview about the repair and breakdown of Russian tanks.
Russian Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

Yes, the famed "carrier destroyer" can only hit stationary targets and had to be pre-programmed before the flight and start. Now it will be able to do the same but the destination can be programmed on the "last flight" before the launch. If anyone wondered about this kind of missiles - yes, the problem that was easy to come by during the conceptual phase still haven't been resolved.
Maybe ground targeting could target moving targets too. Did they say it could only target stationary target prior to this? Besides, able to target on the flight does not let it hit moving targets, if it could not before.
It was pretty well know "insider knowledge" that they're becoming Iskander-like before the contact which makes them pretty easily killed in front of any Western CSG. We got the prove over Kyiv earlier this year.
It's not like I'm thinking it's a stupid idea and I find it extremely precious as it might have some other applications, not just creating the famed "asymmetry" on the battlefield. We're not there as a mature weapon system as a whole. Maybe in 20 years from now someone will come up with an idea how to make it actually work. You know, first rockets were also "stupid" but with years of development they became a real thing. And it might become a dead end as well.

Russia already had an anti-shipping ballistic missile. The Kh-32. It has a built-in radar for terminal ship tracking.
Even if the Kinzhal doesn't have that capability it shouldn't be terribly difficult to add it.
An aviation technician servicing Russian Ka-52 helicopters shared his impressions of the survivability of the combat vehicle and its VK-2500 engine. The Russian aircraft engine VK-2500 is a further development of the TV3-117 family of engines and differs from the base TV3-117VMA engine by increased power by 15-20%, a new digital automatic control and control system of the FADEC type, as well as an increased engine life. Thanks to the improved characteristics of the VK-2500 engine, the helicopter's flight altitude increased by 30%, its climb rate increased by 50%, and its load capacity increased by 2000 kg. Examples of combat operation of the Ka-52 helicopter, in the links to the video in the comments to the video.
Russian homing drones, Veresk complex. The Russian company Veresk has launched production and began supplying software systems based on artificial intelligence for FPV drones. The company showed the results of testing drones equipped with a homing system. After detecting and capturing a target, the complex independently directs the drone to the target and destroys it. The guidance system is capable of completing the task of aiming at a target in conditions of a loss of communication with the drone, its autonomous flight, or when the operation of the drone is interfered with by electronic warfare equipment. The complex receives data via communication channels with the drone; the system can operate autonomously if the control unit is installed on the drone. In fact, the drone itself is aimed at the target, the system allows even untrained drone operators to effectively hit targets. Target acquisition range up to 2000 meters
We are seeing something like this on the latest Lancets, although it works like a target lock and the drone automatically guides itself into it, increasing the hit probabilities.
'Begin' is belated news, we are already seeing Russian FPV drones still hitting their targets as confirmed by third party view despite heavy interference against the drone itself.
An episode of the operation of the Terminator combat vehicle in Ukraine in the Serebryansky forestry near Kremennaya has been published. The crew of the combat vehicle fires from a 30-mm 2A42 automatic cannon and a 130-mm Ataka-T anti-tank guided missile. The semi-automatic ATGM 9M120 "Ataka-T" has a radio command missile control system and can hit targets at a range of up to 6000 meters. The 9M120-1 guided anti-tank missile has a tandem cumulative warhead and is capable of penetrating up to 950 mm of armor. Archival video.
Wow the dual Ataka shot at the end is a bit overkill ! Nice video we see the 30mm, grenade launcher and Ataka firing. First time I see the last two firing.
