Yeah, should launch more. Especially the gravely needed Optical and radar recon sats
Russian sappers demonstrated the disposal of damaged 122 mm Grad MLRS rockets; 200 gram TNT blocks were used to destroy the rockets. The rockets were destroyed in one of the forest belts; you can see the colossal explosion on the video. The number of rockets destroyed is not reported.
Footage of the latest versions of Russian protection of Russian armored vehicles from drones. The video shows the Russian T-80BVM tank, the BMP-2M with the Berezhok combat module and the rare BREM-80U, created on the basis of the T-80U tank. It is worth noting that the protection of armored vehicles is constantly changing, there is no final version and most likely there will not be one in the near future. Details in the video.
The ROE export video. This new IL-78MK has 78 Ton fuel transfer capacity at 1000km and its multifunctional.
The minimum intercept altitude for export Pantsir S1M with standard missile is 50m with minimum range of 1.2km. with smaller missiles it drops to 15m altitude and 500m range. when dealing with drones its is minimums that are important not the maximum figures.
It still not match the 10m height of interception of S350 missile defense system. but most important think is long term reliability 24/7 in field conditions. what is Kamaz famous for is that history for entering into long duration events in extreme conditions.
These things started few decades ago Paris to Dakar.

The legendary KAMAZ-master team has won the 2022 Dakar. This is the 19th time that the incredibly successful team has won the event. The 44th Dakar Rally was held in Saudi Arabia between January 2 and 14, 2022 and consisted of 12 stages.
For the first time in the history of the Dakar, the KAMAZ-master team won every stage of the event. They came second in all but one stage and, in eight of the stages, they came first, second and third. Each of the four men at the wheels of the blue Kamaz trucks claimed at least one stage win this year.
Russian FPV drones "Boomerang", which were shown 2 years ago, began to be equipped with modules for automatic targeting. Little is known about the FPV drones "Boomerang", but they are produced by order of the Russian Ministry of Defense, they are also copied by other drone manufacturers. Drones are actively used by troops. The FPV drone "Boomerang" has an automatic target acquisition function, which helps to guarantee the target's destruction, even if communication with the operator is lost, under the influence of electronic warfare. This solution allows you to guarantee the target's destruction, but the system cannot identify the least protected parts of the target. The flight range of the kamikaze drone "Boomerang" depends on the weight, battery and combat load, presumably about 10 km. The drone is high-speed, the flight speed is up to 200 km / h, the flight time is no more than 20 minutes. According to old data, the element base of the drone is imported, the price is unknown.
The Russian army has begun protecting roads with anti-drone nets. In the video, Russian units of the 3rd Army Engineering Corps are installing anti-drone nets along roads, the maximum length of such a corridor is currently 2 kilometers. The nets are quite effective in protecting against drones, but they need to be constantly updated. The second part of the video, a Russian project by the company "Mechanical Protection Systems", to protect buildings from drones with nets.
They gave some range figures for Su-34NVO SLAR pod. 0.03sqm at 100km range . the range may not be accurate but it functions as AWACS and it is not just air defense but attack helicopters also part same digital space.
Only Su-34 is capable to take this size of pod and have external fuel tanks for 10 hours loitering time. Pilots have comfort of stretching and toilet. just before covid they mentioned that A-100 AWACS is for dealing with small drones. so expect similar capability for Su-34 . A-50U has 11 hours duration time than expect A-100 much more.
bottom line the functionality of A-100 class AWACS is to provide capability much beyond Su-34 and still protected from long range AAM and SAMs and this not easy task when fighter flies higher.

Su-34 fighters can act as AWACS aircraft thanks to the Pika radar system: they will “catch” SCALP-EG and AGM-158A JASSM missiles
The analyst noted that the X-range of the Pika-M containers in the synthetic aperture mode provides not only surface reconnaissance, but also long-range radar detection of airspace. Including low-altitude areas where the flight routes of SCALP-EG, AGM-158A JASSM missiles and so on lie.
"Pika-M" is part of the BKR-3 onboard complex, which provides radar reconnaissance around the clock and in any weather. The radar has a resolution in the cartographic mode of up to 1-1.5 m, and the detection range of objects is up to 300 km.The Pika-M systems will detect missiles with an EOP of 0.03 m² against the ground at a distance of up to 100 km and provide target designation for 40N6, 9M96DM and 9M317MA anti-aircraft missiles. Thus, the Su-34NVO will be able to be used as an operational high-speed AWACS platform.

as well as the inclusion of helicopters in a single information and intelligence digital space on the battlefield.
He added that attack helicopter crews also successfully use Igla anti-aircraft guided missiles against enemy drones - they perform the functions of fighters.
What is the secret of the distinction of the new Russian early warning aircraft?
in addition to traditional targets, they will have to deal with new challenges: small drones, low-flying cruise missiles, fifth-generation stealth fighters, for this Russian aviation needs a new generation of reconnaissance aircraft
The first footage of the launch of the Russian jet drone "Solist" has been published. It is a hybrid of a drone and a guided munition. The "Solist" complex is a disposable carrier with first-person control, like FPV drones. They are manufactured by the KEMZ concern, and the implementation is carried out by the ANO "Center Rivir". The launch is carried out from a transport and launch container. The drone allows you to attack targets and armored vehicles from above. You could say that this is an analogue of the American Javelin ATGM, only made as a drone. In the future, the Solist drone can replace mortars and ATGMs in the troops. The flight range of the Solist drone reaches 10 km, which exceeds the capabilities of most ATGMs. Ammunition from the RPG-7 and SPG-9, including cumulative, fragmentation and thermobaric charges, is used as a combat load. Serial production of drones will begin in mid-2025. The weight of the drone "Soloist" is up to 20 kg, the length is 1200 mm, the flight altitude is up to 2 km, the speed is up to 500 km/h. The price of the drone is unknown.
Aero India 2025, Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheev said that Rosoboronexport will deliver the Su-57E to the first foreign customer in 2025
In November last year, Rosoboronexport had already reported that the first contracts for the supply of Su-57E fighters abroad had been signed; the buyers had not been named.
Total customer
My guess in order
1°) Algeria
2°) Iran
Possible due to spending capacity and past interest
3rd) India
I add, ok they have their 5th generation but.....melius est abundare quam deficere...always good to get your hands on this too
4th) China
Then
5th) Indonesia
6th) Vietnam
Not forgetting the close allies with neighbors very well supplied with modern fighter aircraft
7°) Belarus, but it could also go up in the hypotheses.
