The Russian company Resource Capital has developed the Argus system for intercepting video from unmanned aerial vehicles. The complex will be handed over to the Russian troops for testing. The Argus complex consists of a receiver unit with antennas and a laptop. The Argus complex scans the frequency range and emits an audio signal when a video signal from a drone is detected. As is known, drone frequencies are changed; to quickly change the frequency of the Argus complex, it is equipped with easily removable receivers. This method allows you to quickly reconfigure the operation of the complex without reprogramming it. Currently, the Argus complex can work with four receivers. Intercepting a drone's video signal gives military personnel the opportunity to prepare to repel an attack and neutralize the drone in time. The device can be installed on buildings or various equipment. Technical details are not provided.

Modernized individual food rations for soldiers have been delivered to units of the Russian troops for testing. The main changes in army dry rations are the improved range, the products in the individual food rations for soldiers have become more caloric, and soft plastic packaging has been introduced. Plastic has been introduced to enable the airdrop of dry rations from drones.

The main innovation is that the new dry ration includes a flameless portable chemical heater RPB-A. The flameless food heater RPB-A reduces the risk of detection of soldiers by drones equipped with thermal imagers. The portable chemical heater RPB-A works like this. To heat up food, first open the package and place a sealed bag of food in it. Then add about 100 g of water to the bag and close the bag with adhesive tape. The chemical reaction begins immediately, after 5 minutes the bag of food heats up to about 60-65 ° C. New food rations will be issued to military personnel who perform various tasks in places where it is difficult to organize hot meals.
