The Type 73 machine gun was adopted by the DPRK army in 1973 and is still in use. The Type 73 machine gun is a clone of the Kalashnikov machine gun and the Czechoslovakian Vz. 52/57 machine gun. The Type 73 machine gun is chambered for 7.62 x 54 rounds. The Type 73 machine gun was actively used in numerous conflicts in the Middle East and became widespread after being supplied to Iran. According to the first assessments of Russian soldiers, the DPRK Type 73 machine gun was heavy and equipped with "strange sighting devices", according to them, they would prefer Russian machine guns. The Type 73 machine gun weighs 10.6 kg and is 1190 mm long. The weapon is fed from either 100- or 250-round non-disintegrating belts or 30-round box magazines. The Type 73 weighs 10.6 kg and is 1190 mm long, with a rate of fire of 600-700 rounds per minute. Interview in video.
In Russia, troops of unmanned systems are being created, the formation of troops is planned to be completed in the third quarter of 2025. The role of drones and unmanned systems in the modern army is so high that a decision was made to form a separate branch of the Russian Armed Forces for unmanned systems. So far, these are only drones and remotely controlled robotic platforms, but with the development of artificial intelligence, they will turn into autonomous combat systems.
Currently, drone manufacturers in Russia have significantly increased their output: the monthly production of UAVs and FPV drones has reached 40 thousand items, and electronic warfare systems up to five thousand items. In total, more than 100 thousand items for various purposes were purchased from civilian manufacturers and small design bureaus.

Homemade air defense buggies have begun to be used by Russian mobile air defense groups, and the homemade buggy "ZveraBoy" was also shown earlier. This buggy is built on the basis of the Niva automobile. Despite the simplicity of the design of the vehicles, such mobile air defense groups are quite effective, and are also used by the Ukrainian army. To combat drones, the buggies are armed with six AK-12 assault rifles, located in one plane on the frame. Mortars for firing heat traps and a multi-barrel mount for firing buckshot are also installed. Technical details and who produces the combat vehicles are not reported.
The first flight and production of the KUB-10E attack drone were shown in Russia. The KUB-10E UAV belongs to the KUB series of drones, but as can be seen from the video, the drone has become completely different. The KUB-10E drone is designed to destroy unarmored military equipment and other objects. The manufacturer does not report the flight range of the KUB-10E drone and its combat capabilities, but it is known that they have increased significantly. The previous version of the KUB drone could fly 50 km, technical information on it is on the channel, it has positive reviews from military personnel. The body of the KUB-10E drone is similar to the Granat-4 UAV, information about it is on the channel. Like the basic model, the new KUB-10E drone is launched from a catapult and reaches a speed of 100 km / h, at a flight altitude of 100 to 2.5 thousand meters. The weight of the warhead is not specified, in the basic version it was about 3 kg. The KUB-10E drone is guided by GPS coordinates or using an optical-electronic system. The drone is equipped with an internal combustion engine.
Another video with the new Gibka-S air defense system. The Gibka-S system is used by air defense personnel of the 30th motorized rifle brigade of the "Central" group of forces. The servicemen accompany military columns of the Russian army. The Gibka-S mobile air defense group includes two combat vehicles created on the basis of the Tigr vehicle: one is equipped with a radar station, the second is equipped with a launcher with four Verba MANPADS missiles. Technical information about the Verba MANPADS and the Gibka-S air defense system is in the links in the comments to the video. The Gibka-S air defense system can hit targets on the move, at speeds up to 30 km / h. The estimated cost of the Tigr armored car with the Verba MANPADS launcher is about 400 thousand dollars. Details of the Gibka-S air defense crew in the video.
The long-awaited set of factory equipment for remote control of the Konkurs-M ATGM is shown in Russia. It is worth noting that the military personnel have been waiting for several years for the creation of this equipment for the ATGM. The remote control for the Konkurs-M ATGM was developed by the Russian company Kirov Plant Mayak. The remote control allows you to safely control the ATGM from cover. One set of remote control allows the operator to remotely, in turn, control three Konkurs-M ATGMs. Currently, remote control has been developed only for the Russian Konkurs-M ATGM. The set allows you to remotely control the ATGM at a distance of up to 100 meters using a cable. The time it takes to prepare the ATGM for combat, taking into account the installation of attachments, is no more than 20 minutes. The weight of the remote control equipment is no more than 10 kg, the operating time is up to 8 hours.
