During the visit of the Russian Minister of Defense to defense industry enterprises in the Tula region, the new Russian bicaliber MLRS "Vozrozhdenie" was first noticed at NPO "Splav". Footage of the real installation appeared for the first time. Judging by the video, it is possible that the Vozrozhdenie MLRS will be an exact copy of the Russian mining vehicle "Agriculture", they will simply change the package with missiles, as shown in the video. Since visually it is a copy of the “Agriculture” mining machine, more details about it can be found in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The developed MLRS "Vozrozhdenie" will possibly reduce the number of platforms with MLRS in the Russian army, and the creation of this vehicle will also speed up the reloading of the MLRS. It is assumed that the new MLRS will be able to use 120 and 220 mm projectiles from the TOS-1A, TOS-2 flamethrower systems, the Uragan MLRS, the Grad MLRS and the Agricultural remote mining vehicle. As you can see in the video, the production of the Vozrozhdenie bicaliber MLRS was quickly mastered and there are already ready-made combat vehicles.

I dont think its posted here. Su-34 creating false targets training and entering at 50m altitude but still higher than less than 10m of Su-25. Su-34 will need those 3000L tanks to go up down up flight profile. more innovation introduced the longer it continue.
They also doing it in ground warfare.

Fighterbomber claims that the VKS received an A-50 aircraft.
Cool thing, but i hope they wont forget to serialize A-100.
Hoping that they will not shot it down with friendly fire... or flying near the front line. Towed decoy would be interesting on these to diminish the chance of hard kill.

Having better coordination would fix that tbh.
Russia is resuming the production of A-50 long-range radar warning aircraft, this is an analogue of American AWACS aircraft, Rostec reported. The A-50 aircraft is now in great demand, since there are few of them in the Russian Air Force, only 12 of them, 7 of them are flying. In light of recent events, with the expected loss of two A-50 aircraft, which are not officially confirmed, the release of aircraft is becoming especially important for the Air Force . Now Russia can produce up to 3 A-50 aircraft per year. To date, no new aircraft are being produced; only the A-50s already in service are being modernized to the A-50U level; work is being carried out in Taganrog. A-50U aircraft have recently been used to guide missiles from Russian S-400 air defense systems. Most likely, the A-50U aircraft will go into production. It is worth noting that Russia is also developing new A-100 aircraft, created on the basis of the Il-76MD-90A aircraft. For comparison, the A-100 will be able to detect up to 350 air, sea and ground targets at a distance of up to 650 km; its analogue, the American Boeing 737AEW&C AWACS system, can track up to 180 targets at a distance of up to 500 km. When asked about the A-50 aircraft, the head of Rostec said: “Of course, this aircraft is needed. Of course, we will make it. Not only does our army need it, it is also exported very well.” In recent years, Russia has put into operation improved A-50U aircraft, they are capable of detecting low-flying targets at a distance of up to 400 kilometers, targets at medium and high altitudes are detected at a distance of up to 650 kilometers, and ballistic missiles are detected at a range of up to 800 kilometers. The number of simultaneously tracked targets is up to 150. You can see the full technical characteristics of the A-50 aircraft on the screen. The aircraft can coordinate the work of 12 fighters and guide 30 aircraft. The A-50 aircraft is capable of conducting patrols for 4 hours at a distance of 1000 km without refueling, with one refueling up to 7 hours. The practical flight range of the aircraft is up to 7500 kilometers, the aircraft crew is 5 people and 10 operators. The cost of the A-50 aircraft is about 330 million dollars.
Both A50, A50U and A100 use the “platform” of the Il-76. They just differ in the radar.
The question is, Russia intends to build from scratch A50U, or they just mean to modernise more A50 to A50U.
In the former case it would mean that the bottle neck is in the radar of the A100, while in the later the bottleneck could be also the construction of new Il76.
If they are able to manufacture many radars of A50U and the problem is in the plane I would try to mount the radar in other cheaper planes. Even with lower range and non useful in other posible theatres for this conflict basically anything that help you to increase numbers if AEW planes would be really useful.
They could mount it in Il18, Tu134 or whatever plane the Russian airforce has available in big numbers.
Something similar to the E2 Haweke of the U.S.
They need more long range ISR for sure and they need to replace losses at a minimum. With the number of airframes they have flying, they don't have a lot of trained personnel, they will need to ramp up training as well.
