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.

Maybe they got some in the stockpiles of the salt mine dungeon of Soledar and test them to see if it could be useful.

Don't know if they have still some PTRS-41...

Would be way better to get some Iranian Shaher rifle of the same caliber.

The Russians have large caliber modern sniper rifles.

But the PTRS-41 uses a higher caliber round still.
Probably they are just tapping in old soviet stockpiles and see what can do something practical. Donets militias have been seen using the old PTRD rifle too. Still a gun that can stop a MRAP or an APC in an ambush but far from practical for anything else.

The ability of the product to operate at high altitudes, including the stratosphere, is a key element of this development. In the fall of 2023, the systems were tested on the M-55 Geofizika aircraft, which can fly to an altitude of up to 20 kilometers. The system is capable of transmitting target coordinates in real time to ground strike assets, as well as aviation.


Aircraft operating in the stratosphere will transmit data for the Smerch and Tornado-S MLRS, Iskander systems, frontline aviation, including helicopter units with high-precision LMUR missiles. The Su-34 and Su-34M will be able to effectively use reconnaissance data to employ high-precision missiles and bombs with unified planning and correction modules. This will significantly increase the effectiveness of missile and bomb strikes on enemy troop and equipment concentrations in the rear areas of the armed formations of Ukraine and directly at the line of combat contact.

The program for integrating the UKR-RL Sych radar reconnaissance container systems based on the Pika-M side-looking PFAR radars onto Su-34M combat frontline bombers was officially announced in one of the episodes of the Military Acceptance program on the Zvezda TV channel.

"The systems are capable of detecting enemy equipment concentrations in the forests of the Kursk region and border areas at a distance of up to 150 km in the synthetic aperture mode for their final destruction with 9M544/549 rockets of the Tornado-S MLRS and 9M723-1 missiles of the Iskander-M systems,"

The new diesel-electric submarine "Velikie Luki" (project 677 / "Lada" class), in the St. Petersburg Sea Channel, goes out for sea trials.
apparently the risk of both aerial and maritime kamikaze drones when the submarine sails on the surface or docked at the pier has recommended the installation of a "vintage" style accessory but still effective, in any case better than nothing.

The Baltics and the Finns would be really dumb to allow such thing to happen, but then again, they are not the smartest european countries either.

This stuff can now just happen from third parties completely unrelated to their country's armed forces. These party's just happened to get some common civilian grade explosives. Nordstream as an example.

Rostec has begun deliveries of upgraded Groza tropospheric communication stations​


Rostec has begun deliveries of upgraded Groza tropospheric communication stations


The Rostec State Corporation's Ruselectronics holding company has begun deliveries of Groza tropospheric communication stations with an updated digital modem based on neural networks. The equipment provides communication within a radius of 210 km in hard-to-reach areas and supports data transfer rates of up to 45.5 Mbit/s.

The Groza station uses technology based on the reflection of a signal from the troposphere, the lower layer of the atmosphere.

To organize a tropospheric communication line, a minimum of two receiving and transmitting stations are required. An antenna with a diameter of 150 cm can be placed on the roof of a building, a mobile mast or a tripod. The solution includes a digital modem, which is capable of learning during operation and isolating a useful signal from background noise due to the use of neural networks. The new version of the modem has modernized built-in information processing algorithms, which has made it possible to almost double the data transfer rate compared to the previous modification of the equipment.

The production of the Groza tropospheric communication stations has been launched at the Krasnoyarsk Scientific and Production Enterprise Radiosvyaz (part of Ruselectronics) with the support of the Industrial Development Fund.

"The Groza tropospheric communication station is designed to organize wireless broadband communications in mountainous, hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas, along highways and railways, as well as at remote industrial sites. The equipment is characterized by low power consumption, ease of deployment and operation, which is an important advantage for the consumer. In addition, tropospheric communication is an economically advantageous alternative to satellite communications, since it does not require renting a satellite channel," said Rinat Galeev, General Director of NPP Radiosvyaz.

UAC delivered a batch of Su-57 and Su-35S aircraft to the troops​


UAC delivered a batch of Su-57 and Su-35S aircraft to the troops


The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has delivered a batch of new Su-57 and Su-35S aircraft to the Russian Aerospace Forces.

The fifth-generation fighters were accepted by the technical staff, passed a full cycle of factory tests, and were tested in various operating modes by pilots of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The aircraft flew to their home airfield.

"The machines transferred to the troops are distinguished by high flight and technical characteristics, which have been duly appreciated by our pilots. The Su-57s of the next batches are at various stages of readiness. The Su-35S aircraft are also at a high stage of readiness," said Vladimir Artyakov, First Deputy Director General of the Rostec State Corporation.

Today, the UAC enterprise where fighters are manufactured is undergoing production upgrades. As part of the implementation of promising technical re-equipment projects, construction and installation work has been completed at new facilities of the flight test station. To expand serial production of the Su-57, construction of an additional building has begun, where the fifth-generation aircraft systems will be tested.

"The number of fifth-generation fighters entering the Russian Aerospace Forces is increasing every year. Today, the advanced fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft complex is the most modern frontline aviation aircraft in Russia," said UAC CEO Yuri Slyusar.

The Russian Navy has begun conducting a large-scale strategic command and staff exercise, Okean-2024, which will last until September 16. The military exercises will be held in the Pacific Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Baltic Sea. All Russian fleets, including the Caspian Flotilla, will take part in the exercises. Ships of the Chinese Navy will also participate in the exercises with the Russian fleet in the Pacific Ocean. Four warships and a supply vessel are participating from the People's Liberation Army Navy of China. Ships of the Russian and Chinese Navy met in the waters of the northern part of Peter the Great Bay. The exercise will be conducted in a bilateral format, and Admiral Alexander Moiseyev, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, will lead the exercise. Task forces of military command bodies and military contingents from foreign partner states of the Russian Federation have also been invited to participate in the exercise. All weapons will be used, including hypersonic missiles. The exercises involve more than 400 warships, submarines and auxiliary fleet support vessels. More than 120 naval aircraft and helicopters, about 7,000 units of weapons, military and special equipment, as well as more than 90,000 personnel. The tasks of the Ocean-2024 exercises include checking the readiness of the commanders of the Navy formations and units to lead units, solve non-standard tasks, and comprehensively use high-precision weapons and modern equipment. In addition, the command will have to expand interaction with the fleets of partner countries for joint work.
