Igor Spassky, ex-head of Rubin and designer of submarines like the Typhoon and Oscars seems to have died yesterday
Aerostats with radar on board, for detecting drones, have been proposed to be deployed in Russia. It is possible that they will use the SKVP air defense system, we have shown it before. It is worth noting that in the 1970s in the USSR, in the Far North, aerostats with automatic radars were standard reconnaissance means. They detected targets without human intervention and transmitted information. In case of damage to the aerostat, they can lower the payload by parachute, technical information of the Val aerostat is on the screen. Currently, the Dolgoprudny Design Bureau of Automatics is engaged in the production of aerostats in Russia. DKBA aerostats are capable of lifting up to 900 kg of payload to a height of 3 to 4.7 km, which allows for the effective detection of low-flying targets even in difficult terrain conditions and over the sea. The capabilities of the aerostats include the creation of secure communications within a radius of up to 170 km and radar detection of targets at a range of up to 200 km, providing comprehensive control over the situation for a long period of time - up to a month.
The Russian company Nova-Labs has published footage of a quadcopter test designed to intercept drones. The interceptor drone is equipped with machine vision and is capable of independently recognizing and targeting a target. In the video, the drone deliberately misses the target - the drone has a specified divergence distance, this is done to avoid wasting a large number of drones. Drones are intercepted kinetically, when colliding with a target, the interceptor drone retains the integrity of its structure and can be used further. According to the developers from Nova-Labs, there are currently two ways to launch a drone interceptor. This is a start from a manual launcher and a start from a tripod. The price, flight time and other characteristics are not reported.
This recent Ukranian analysis about Kh-69 missile from Su-57. it fly at 20m and 400+km range. the missile claimed to weigh only 700kg.
This from Sputnik UAE. look at headline how it is presented. It is mentioned over 1500km range at Mach 2 super cruise. imagine how long certification of reliability and pilot comforts in all flight parameters like G loads of Super maneuverability. there is K-77M missile with lock on after launch and 200km range. This missile has AESA in nose. no one will put accurate information but once they use the word Oceans it means it has missiles and radar tech that can find ships at extended ranges than any one else. similar information was twice presented in span of a year.
More dangerous than the "Dagger": what is known about the Kh-69 missile that Russia launched on July 23
The main feature and advantage of the Kh-69 missiles, as well as the biggest problem for Ukrainian air defense, is that the missile can fly extremely low at an altitude of 20 meters.
range – 290–300 kilometers (declared), actual – 400+ kilometers (determined during shelling on 11.04.2024).

Top 7 Features of the Su-57 with a “Long Range” Covering the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
The Su-57’s extremely long range allows it to engage targets not only across Europe, but also in the Atlantic, from air bases
in western Russia, or to deploy from bases that could be safer from potential Western attacks. It also allows the fighter to
cover a large part of the Pacific theater, comfortably putting Japan, Taiwan and Korea within range as an alternative to
aircraft carriers
A French Caesar 155mm SPG on the move, discovered by drone and tracked to its location. This in the Kursk salient. What's interesting is what took it out --- a vintage M-46 field gun from the '50s which technically cannot be called a howitzer due to it's limited elevation, which cannot go past 45 degrees. As the Russians no longer produce the ammunition, the source of the ammunition lies with either the DPRK or Iran. The M-46 has long been retired from Russian service, until suddenly they were brought right out again.

A batch of new T-90M Proryv tanks of 2024 was sent to the troops by Uralvagonzavod. As reported, the tanks are equipped with electronic warfare systems against drones and a system of means to reduce visibility. This is not shown in the video. The T-90M tank is the most advanced tank in the T-90 family and is best suited for operations in modern combat conditions. The Russian T-90M tank significantly surpasses its predecessor T-90 in combat effectiveness, while retaining its advantages, such as reliability and minimal maintenance during operation.
Footage of the testing of the Soviet anti-tank single-shot PTRD-41 rifle with a caliber of 14.5 mm by Russian militias at a testing ground. We do not know for what purposes the shooting was carried out, presumably it will be used in Ukraine to destroy light armored vehicles. The PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle of the Degtyarev system was accepted into service in 1941 and at one time was an effective weapon for destroying German tanks. The weight of the PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle is 17.3 kg, the firing range of the weapon is 1000 meters, the rifle is capable of penetrating 35 mm armor at a distance of 300 meters and 25 mm armor at a distance of 500 meters. The rate of fire of the PTRD-41 is 8-10 rounds per minute.
