All electric offroad motorbikes by Kalashnikov being used by Russian special forces. Being EV, the bikes are quiet, has instant torque and has a low thermal footprint. Russian motorcycle raids have shown notable tactical success with the forces in the South Donetsk region where fields are more open and speed is essential.

The first footage of the Russian Su-57 aircraft with a flat nozzle on its engines. The footage shows that the test Su-57 is equipped with only one new AL-51F1 engine with a flat nozzle, the second engine is the standard AL-41F1 power plant. The new Su-57 nozzle has four independently controlled flaps, two of which are designed for use in subsonic mode and two for supersonic flight. The flat nozzle is also installed on the US F-22, but it has only one thrust vector, while the Su-57 has a nozzle with an all-aspect thrust vector, which provides better maneuverability and better control of the aircraft. The design of the new nozzle allows for better cooling of the exhaust gases. This, in turn, reduces the infrared signature of the aircraft in the rear projection. It is worth noting that the "Flat" nozzle will reduce the thrust of the Su-57 to some extent, but it will improve the stealth characteristics from the rear projection of the aircraft. Currently, the Su-57 aircraft uses the first-stage AL-41F1 "Product 117" engine; Su-57s with second-stage AL-51F1 "Product 30" engines should be installed from 2025. The AL-51F1 has several non-afterburning modes, in which the fighter will operate at high supersonic speeds and will be less visible in the infrared range. An improved version of the fighter should be designated Su-57M. According to experts, the new engine will provide the Su-57 with the highest level of thrust among all fighters in the world currently in use.
So according to the animation, the nozzle does have a bit of a rotation. Thats interesting...
The first footage of the new augmented reality flight helmet for pilots of Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighters. The new helmet significantly simplifies the control of the Su-57 aircraft's weapons. When using missiles with an infrared homing head, the pilot sees when the target is captured: the aiming mark changes from a cross to a circle. The missile is automatically aimed at the target in the direction of the pilot's gaze, which makes the use of weapons even more accurate and intuitive. The helmet-mounted display system allows you to display an image of any complexity on the protective visor. The new AR helmet not only projects a digital image during combat operations, but also transmits the pilot's actions to the command center. Sensors showing blood pressure, pulse and the pilot's condition can be installed on the pilot's helmet. The helmet weighs less than two kilograms, the slots on the helmet are designed to distribute air flows during the pilot's ejection, so that the helmet does not crack.
when you look at history this twitter thread. they already mentioned flat nozzle testing on S-70 and flat jet nozzle for the new engine. The TVC is extremely difficult to implement for long range strike fighter. It add weight and complexity.
Servicemen of one of the Russian units showed an unusual homemade tracked assault vehicle, created on the basis of the medium artillery tractor ATS-59G. The military tractor was equipped with protection from drones, such as "Tsar-mangal", unlike the classic protection, here there are rubber screens. To make a semblance of an armored personnel carrier, it was necessary to additionally armor the six-seater cabin. The stern of the ATS-59G was covered with chains.
The artillery tractor ATS-59G was adopted by the USSR in 1970. Initially, the machine was developed for towing heavy guns. The mass of the ATS-59G tractor is almost fourteen tons. Engine power is 300 horsepower. Maximum speed on the highway is 45 kilometers per hour. Cruising range on fuel: 350 - 500 kilometers. The ATS-59G military tractor is capable of transporting three tons of cargo or twelve soldiers.

The Russian army is gradually being replenished with robotic platforms for various purposes, they are already being actively used, but their production volumes are still small. Rostec presented the robotic tracked complex "Caracal", produced by "Kurganmashzavod", it was first shown in the summer. The "Caracal" robot belongs to the light class of robotic complexes. The "Caracal" robot is designed to solve various problems on the battlefield, depending on the module installed on it. In one version, the "Caracal" platform can be equipped with a missile system, most likely, small arms can also be installed on it. It can also be used as a vehicle for delivering goods or evacuating the wounded. The standard equipment on board the complex includes a thermal imager, several cameras, a navigation system and a radio transmitter with increased protection against interference. The control range of the "Caracal" platform is up to 2 kilometers, the speed is up to 15 km / h, the carrying capacity is up to 500 kilograms, the cruising range is about 150 kilometers.
Footage of Russia's first military tracked drone "Depesha", controlled via fiber optic cable. The first samples are being tested in the troops. The robotic platform "Depesha" is produced on a wheeled and tracked chassis. The ground drone "Depesha" is controlled using a joystick, VR glasses, a monitor or fiber optic cable. The robot is equipped with the Russian hardware and software complex "Prometheus", it allows robotization of any equipment. The tracked version of the robot "Depesha" can work as a miner or scout, and weapons systems can also be installed. The wheeled robot "Depesha" is equipped with a stretcher for evacuating the wounded or a platform for transporting various goods. The manufacturer does not report the operating range of the robot "Depesha" with fiber optic cable control, judging by the reel, it can presumably be 100 kilometers or more. The tracked version of the Depesha drone can carry up to 100 kilograms of cargo and develops a speed of up to 15 kilometers per hour, the wheeled version up to 30 kilometers per hour, other data has not yet been reported.
