The Russian Air Force received another batch of Su-34 front-line bombers. The aircraft were handed over at the airfield of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after V.P. Chkalova. The equipment has already been accepted by the engineering and technical personnel and has gone to its places of deployment. Starting in 2021, the Russian Air Force will receive a modernized Su-34M aircraft. By 2027, the Russian Air Force should receive 76 new bombers. The Su-34 front-line bomber was put into service in 2014 and has low radar signature. The aircraft has a range of up to 4,000 kilometers and a flight speed of up to 1,900 km/h. With 12 hardpoints, the aircraft can carry a combat load weighing eight tons. The Su-34 is equipped with an electronic warfare system, which reduces the likelihood of the aircraft being hit by radar-guided systems by approximately 30 times. The cockpit is protected by a titanium armored capsule.

A better explanation to the enhanced Lancet. The two tiny cameras on the side are laser rangefinders that are used to detonate the warhead at a close distance to the target, creating a shaped penetrating explosion.
This video has something I missed and that's a Lancet hitting an Su-25 on the ground. It's part of the attack on the airfield where the Russians claim two Mig-29s and two Su-25 were destroyed using Lancets. Photos of the aftermath has confirmed the destruction of two MiG-29s, but I have yet to find the Su-25s until now.
Kh-31P managed to nail an Iris-T in Odessa, or so some news agency on the west claimed. Not that the Iris was effective, we have seen it's missiles fall on the population. There must be more Kh-31P as one missed and hit a ship. It's visually confirmed that the Russians did launch Kh-31P towards Odessa that's for sure. As expected, Gerans have the dual purpose of trolling air defenses and revealing them for the Russians to take action on, as Odessa has been hit with consecutive waves of Geran attacks recently.
Russians will have a new version of the Strela-10. The system, which is employed on both sides, has been busy knocking out UAVs.

Russia has been upgrading their Tu-95MS to Tu-95MSM. This could very well be an old, previous not operational, airframe that was repurposed into a Tu-95MSM and given a new number.
The Russian 560th Armored Repair Plant (BTRZ) sent to the troops BMP-2 combat vehicles that have undergone a major overhaul and received mountings for additional protection. It is noted that all the main components and assemblies of the equipment were also replaced and repaired. The work of the 560th armored tank repair plant is managed by Kurganmashzavod. At first, the 560th armored repair plant had a code name - military unit 13846, and from April 30, 1993 it was renamed the 560th armored repair plant. The military plant is located in the Amur region.
New Russian robot minesweeper MT-2 from DST-Ural. Footage of the control of the Russian robotic mine-clearing vehicle MT-2 has been published. The remote-controlled robot MT-2 was created on the basis of the PG-1 loader by the DST-Ural plant. The robotic mine clearing machine is equipped with armor and is controlled by an operator from a remote control panel or smartphone. The MT-2 robotic vehicle is capable of making passages in minefields 2.3 meters wide. The car is equipped with video cameras, frontal, two side and one rear video camera. Technical details and degree of reservation are not reported
UAC delivered to the Russian MoD the fifth batch of Su-35 aircraft for 2023 out of an order of supposedly 24 aircraft.
UAC handed over to the Aerospace Forces the final batch of Su-35S fighters in 2023
24.11.2023
Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant named after Yuri A. Gagarin manufactured and handed over to the Russian Ministry of Defense the next batch of new multifunctional Su-35S fighters. The aircraft underwent a cycle of ground and flight tests and flew from the KnAAZ airfield to their place of duty, the UAC reported.
The Su-35S is one of the main fighter aircraft in service with the Russian army. The aircraft is involved in the destruction of enemy aircraft, as well as for delivering strikes with various missiles and bombs against military targets, weapons depots and fuel storage facilities of the armed formations of the Kiev regime. The Su-35S is equipped with air-to-air and air-to-surface guided missiles with a long range, and the fighter also carries FAB-500 bombs with a controlled planning and correction module.
First Deputy General Director of the Rostec State Corporation Vladimir Artyakov emphasized the high flight performance parameters of the aircraft, which make it one of the leading 4++ generation fighters in the world. He also noted that UAC factories, including the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aviation Plant, fulfill state defense orders in strict accordance with the delivery schedule in order to provide the Russian Armed Forces with modern aviation systems.
General Director of PJSC UAC Yuri Slyusar emphasized that this batch of Su-35S fighters completes deliveries of this type of aircraft under the current year program. KnAAZ, like other UAC plants that carry out state defense orders, operate in three shifts.
In 2023, Su-35S fighters were handed over to the Russian Aerospace Forces on June 23, July 13, September 28 and October 24. This is another batch of aircraft, thus the fifth and final one of the year. In September, the UAC also transferred a batch of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters to the Ministry of Defense.
The Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies suggested that all Su-35S fighters transferred during 2023 were manufactured within the framework of the fourth contract concluded by the UAC in 2021 for the supply of Su-35S aircraft to the Russian Ministry of Defense. “It is possible that this contract includes 24 aircraft with delivery until 2024. Presumably, the first four fighters under this contract were delivered to the Aerospace Forces in December 2022,” CAST commented.

There is no topic about the Serbian army, so I’m posting it here. Serbia received Russian-made Mi-35P helicopters from the Cypriot Air Force. Mi-35P helicopters were delivered by An-124 aircraft. It is expected that the eleven Mi-35P received will be operated by the 714th Anti-Tank Helicopter Squadron, which already has four helicopters of this type. The Cypriot authorities decided to remove the Mi-35P from service in 2021. due to problems with the supply of spare parts arising from sanctions. To replace the helicopters, Cyprus purchased six Airbus Helicopters H145M light combat helicopters. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic personally inspected the Mi-35 helicopters sent by Cyprus. According to him, the helicopters will be repainted in a special coloring that matches the landscape of Serbia. The Serbian President also noted that he loves these helicopters for their efficiency and “ominous sound.” “When you hear that intermittent sound, all you can do is run and hide.”
A batch of Russian buggies "Erofey" was received by the special forces of the Russian Guard. As reported, the Erofei all-terrain vehicles have already been tested and have proven themselves well; according to reviews from military personnel, the Erofey all-terrain vehicles are easy to maintain and are easy to repair. They checked how the steering behaved and the wear resistance of various components and assemblies of the buggy. The Erofey all-terrain vehicle is convenient for moving snipers, ATGM crews, quickly transporting ammunition to the front line and working with sabotage groups. All-terrain vehicles are produced in Khabarovsk in small batches at the Soniktrans plant, and the vehicle is still being fine-tuned. Buggy "Erofey" is equipped with a 150 hp engine. and is capable of speeds of up to 120 km/h, with a power reserve of up to 300 kilometers. Buggy weight: 850 kg, load capacity 350 kg. The buggy is designed for 2 people.
The Russian Air Force received the next batch of Su-35S multirole fighters; the transfer of equipment took place at the factory airfield of the Yu.A. Aviation Plant. Gagarin. It is not specified how many aircraft are in the batch; all equipment was transferred as part of the state defense order. Now the aircraft plant has reached a high rate of production and operates in 3 shifts. It is noted that this batch completes deliveries of Su-35S fighters under this year’s program, but by the end of 2023 the military will receive another batch of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters. The Su-35S is one of the main fighters in service with the Russian army and today clearly confirms its high performance in real combat conditions. The Su-35 is armed with a 30mm cannon and has 12 hardpoints for bombs and missiles. The aircraft's combat load is 8 tons. The fighter can reach speeds of up to 2.5 thousand km/h, and the aircraft’s flight range reaches 3,400 kilometers.
