A well-shot episode of the work of the Russian ZRPK "Pantsir-S1". ZRPK "Patsir-S1" is a development of the ZRPK "Tunguska-M" project. As reported, the servicemen of this combat vehicle showed very effective work. ZRPK "Pantsir-S1" was developed in 2008, now it is used by 8 countries. Over the years of work, the ZRPK "Pantsir-S1" has proven itself well, the complex successfully hit all types of air targets. It is worth noting that this version of the air defense cannot hit small drones and FPV. The video shows the version of ZRPK Pantsir-S2 with a multifunctional radar station 1RS1-3E-RLM.

some more info about Pantsir at IDEX Abu Dhabi. it can detect small drones at 45km with 40 track. we are approaching technological level where small radars will be able to track stealth fighters outside the glide bomb range.
Russia still claim it is second in arms exports and first place in arms production. the pics i posted this will be direction of improvements.
The red round sign is RT online. they create computer generated pics. highly mobile forces with tactical situational awarness. radar at highest point with lowest altitude flying.

The Russian T-90MS Proryv tank in the export version was shown at the international defense exhibition IDEX-2025 in Abu Dhabi. The T-90MS Proryv tank is equipped with dynamic protection and electronic warfare for protection against drones, and it implements the principle of differentiated armor. Thanks to this, it is better protected from drones, ATGMs and RPGs. The tank has a digital onboard fire control system. The tank already has a mesh protection of the "grill" type, the engine-transmission compartment of the tank is now also protected from drones. Integrated information and control command systems and other innovative solutions have been introduced into the design of the tank. Now the T-90MS tank has increased firepower due to the equipment of new armor-piercing, sub-caliber, high-explosive fragmentation shells with remote detonation. In the video, you can also see the 3UBK20 "INVAR" shell with a 9M119M guided missile, used to combat enemy armored vehicles and helicopters.
The video shows a homemade Russian 30 mm automatic gun 2A42, removed from a BMP-2 and mounted on a carriage from an artillery gun D-44. This is another version of a homemade artillery gun, created by Russian mechanics. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army is also creating military hybrid weapons. The estimated effective firing range of such a homemade gun is up to 4,000 meters. It is unlikely that the gun will be used, since drones will quickly notice it.
Russian units have begun to receive the Varan tracked robotic complex, despite the fact that it is still being finalized, some of the robots were tested in the troops back in 2024. The DUP-2 turret from Radart is currently being adapted for use on the robot. It is already planned to begin serial production, up to 300 units per month. The Varan tracked drone was developed by the Moscow company Frobotics. The Varan robotic platform is designed for the installation of various weapons and trailers, including machine guns, ATGMs and grenade launchers. The Varan tracked drone can also be used for transport purposes, including it can be equipped with explosives. When used to evacuate the wounded, it can take out up to four people on drags. The robot can be used for assault actions, it diverts fire to itself and suppresses firing points. The Varan robot has waterproof electronics, it can cross a small river or reservoir along the bottom. Now the robot can be controlled using the Hermes system, as well as FPV drones, at a distance of up to 10 km, the developers are also testing communications via satellite, cable and fiber optics. The carrying capacity of the Varan robot is up to 200 kg, the weight of the cargo transported on sleds is up to 300 kg. The robot develops a speed of up to 50 km / h and can work up to 8 hours.
At the IDEX 2025 defense exhibition in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, the Kalashnikov concern presented a new Russian drone, the Kub-2-E. The loitering munition, the Kub-2-E, was developed by the Izhevsk Unmanned Systems company. Since January 2025, the Kub-2-E drone has already been used by Russian troops. There are two versions of the drone. The Kub-2-1E drone is designed to destroy manpower and unarmored vehicles. The Kub-2-2E drone can destroy UAV launch sites and lightly armored vehicles. The drone is made according to the "simple but functional" principle - it can be produced in large quantities. There is no technical information on the drone, it is known that it weighs more than 10 kg.
The Ministry of Defense has shown rare footage of the Russian S-350 Vityaz air defense system in action. In this version, the air defense system is covered with metal sheets to protect against drones. The S-350 air defense system launcher contains 12 missiles and is capable of firing a salvo equivalent to a division of S-300 air defense systems.
