As part of the third stage of the exercise of non-strategic nuclear forces of Russia, footage of the MiG-31 aircraft being equipped with an R-33 air-to-air missile has been published. The R-33 medium-range missile was accepted into service in 1981, information about it is in the link to the video in the comments to the video. It is assumed that in this case, the R-33 missile is shown for the first time equipped with a special warhead, that is, in a nuclear version. Officially, the warhead of the R-33 missile is not reported.
Pretty amazing. The US had similar weapons a long time ago supposedly to shoot down entire Soviet bomber formations.
I wonder what such a nuclear air to air missile would be used for today.

Tis one tho is Vanilla R-33. I dont think special warhead variant would just be trolley'd like that without any special precautions or at least thermal blanket to keep warhead temperature stable.

Footage of the Russian mobile radio relay station R-419L1, which was put into service in 2018, the station is manufactured at the A.S. Popov Radio Plant. The R-419L1 communication station is mounted on the KAMAZ 4350 chassis and is designed to organize communications as part of field communication systems at the tactical and operational levels. The radio relay station provides interference-proof communication in analog, digital and mixed modes; this type of communication is significantly better protected in terms of radio suppression and radio interception. The R-419L1 communication station provides communication on lines up to 120 km long in the 390-645 MHz range, in digital modes up to 400 km and up to 1500 km in the 1550-1850 MHz range. The maximum information transfer rate is 8.448 Mbps. The R-419L1 communication station has two onboard AD4-T400-1VM2 power units and operates autonomously for at least 48 hours without replenishing fuel and water supplies. The deployment time of the communication station is 25 minutes, the mean time between failures is at least 20,000 hours, and the service life is at least 15 years. The R-419L1 communication station is serviced by 4 people. Details in the video.

An unusual hybrid of military equipment was noticed in the Marine Corps of the Pacific Fleet of Russia. The MT-LB armored transporter developed in 1964 was again used as a test subject. Servicemen of the repair units installed a 100-mm anti-tank gun MT-12 "Rapira" on the Russian military transporter MTLB, technical information about the gun MT-12 "Rapira" in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The approximate firing range of the hybrid MT-LB and the gun MT-12 "Rapira" will be about 8200 meters. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army is also actively creating hybrids of military equipment

It seem the mini missiles 48 per launcher start deploying Pantsir. one thing mention that these Mini missiles in addition to slow moving drones can also hit ATGMs, ARMs and air attack weopons. so its full fledged SAM system.

Rostec spoke about new mini-missiles for the Pantsir-SM air defense system​

"The small-sized missile is currently undergoing testing, its main characteristics and the correctness of the implemented technical solutions have been confirmed," the agency's source said on the eve of the Fleet-2024 international naval show.

Earlier, an informed source told RIA Novosti that Russia is completing tests of anti-drone missiles, which should soon be deployed in anti-aircraft missile systems in the SVO zone in Ukraine. He specified that the mini-missiles will be used as part of the modernized Pantsir-SM anti-aircraft missile systems, which are produced by High-Precision Systems. Since last year, the systems have begun to arrive in the SVO zone.
As Vladimir Artyakov, First Deputy Director General of Rostec, noted in an interview with RIA Novosti in August 2022, the new missiles developed by the state corporation for the Pantsirs, in addition to drones, will also be able to destroy anti-radar missiles, ATGM missiles, and various air attack weapons. As Artyakov specified, the near boundary of the zone of destruction of the new mini-missiles for the Pantsir complex will be reduced to 500 meters.


I think its 9M100 missile for S350 unless they built a new launcher for 16 missiles for 9M96D.

The Ministry of Defense has released information that one such system successfully repels massive attacks by enemy high-precision missiles. It is reported that 16 launches were made and each missile hit its target. The Vityaz differs from all other anti-aircraft systems, domestic and foreign, in that its launcher contains 16 missiles, and they can be launched one after another. According to the anti-aircraft gunners themselves, one S-350 SAM system is capable of providing a salvo equal in effectiveness to the work of an S-300 division.

Tor M2 range 30Km. S350 200km. This Tor range is now double of the known figure.

Integrated into a single system, Prometheus strengthens the protection of Russian airspace at long ranges up to 600 km. The close zones of echeloned air defense are "compacted" by the S-400 Triumph (up to 400 km), S-350 Vityaz (up to 200 km), medium-range Buk-M3 (up to 45 km), and short-range Tor-M2 air defense systems (up to 30 km). The universal mobile Pantsir-SM air defense missile and gun system with a range of up to 40 km stands apart.

The buk sensors may not be effective beyond this range for the targets they are facing and not spend more on newer missiles.
this is the biggest surprize. how mechanically possible to activate so many missiles simultaneously.
avg time to hit a ATACMS is 1.5 to 3 second. the shoot down at 70km in 8 second after detections.
This missile system was always portrayed the most advanced.

Research Institute of Steel presented a new Russian modernized titanium armor helmet "Bars-M". The armor helmet has become the development of the line of titanium helmets "Bars" and was made to the requests of customers from the Russian army. The development differs from its predecessors in a new, more ergonomic form factor, now the helmet provides the ability to install low-profile active headphones. It was quite difficult to implement a special combined structure of the visor glass, now it can withstand two shots from a 9-mm Stechkin automatic pistol at temperatures ranging from -40 ° C to + 40 ° C. Helmet protection class Br2 - protection from a lead bullet 9x21 mm, visor protection class - Br1. The mass of the helmet assembled with a visor is 3.4 kg. Price not reported

Russian T-80BVM tanks have been given enhanced protection against drones. The Russian tank plant Omsktransmash has shown the process of upgrading Russian tanks taken out of storage and upgrading them to the T-80BVM version. The video shows additional enhancement of the T-80BVM tank's protection. The plant has heard the wishes of tank crews, and in addition to the standard protection against drones, in the form of a "barbecue" and gratings, protection has been added to the engine-transmission compartment. The engine-transmission compartment of the tank and its rear part are equipped with additional protection, this was the weak point of the tank, it is worth noting that many tanks do not have protection. The video shows additional gratings and layers of reinforced rubber. The tanks also have continuous protection for the guide wheels. A batch of T-80BVM tanks with the new anti-drone protection has already been transferred to the troops.
