The system of evasion from UAV and FPV drone attacks has begun to be used in Russian reconnaissance UAVs ZALA Z-16. The Z-16 UAV is produced by the Izhevsk company "ZALA AERO GROUP Unmanned Systems", it also produces Lancet drones. The essence of the system is that a camera is installed on the upper part of the UAV, which records the approach of interceptor drones. After detecting a drone, the UAV begins to automatically perform evasive maneuvers. As is known, FPV drones have a short flight time and intensive maneuvering greatly discharges the battery. Now the system is vulnerable, since it records drones only in the upper and rear hemisphere, perhaps this has already been fixed

A new batch of Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and gun systems has been delivered to the Russian troops, the quantity is not reported. It is worth noting that such deliveries are rarely reported. The Pantsir-S1 family of anti-aircraft missile and gun systems demonstrate high efficiency, including in intercepting MLRS missiles and UAVs, examples are on the channel. Touching on the topic of FPV drones, the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system cannot currently hit them, presumably the Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system was created for this purpose, but whether it will be able to hit them is still unknown. The Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system being produced today differs from the base vehicle, since it has been modified, but in what exactly is not specified. It is reported that the Pantsir-S1 air defense system has increased efficiency in intercepting UAVs, MLRS missiles and cruise missiles.

By 2030, JSC Information Satellite Systems Reshetnev (part of Roscosmos) plans to create 367 communications and navigation spacecraft. At the same time, as Deputy Director General for Development and Innovation Yuri Vilkov said, in 2024 the company received orders for the creation of only five geostationary satellites.

This has become the minimum volume since the early 2000s, but things should improve slightly due to the active development of the Marathon system. In total, 269 satellites of this system are planned to be manufactured from 2025 to 2030.
In addition, 12 devices of the Skif group, which is part of the Sfera program, and 34 Gonets-M1 satellites will be manufactured by 2030.

The Public Council under the Russian Defense Ministry visited a strategic enterprise where amazing machines are created that break the laws of nature. The Army Standard correspondent accompanied the public figures on the trip.
We have seen the first plane. The second one has already been assembled. The third one is in production. And we also have an order for ten such machines, — our guide says. — On all of them, as well as on the long-range bomber Tu-22M3, more than 90% of the equipment has been replaced. Everything is completely new. The radio electronics are also completely changed. In this regard, the combat effectiveness of the plane has been exceeded more than twice.
They are not talking about what exactly will change in the plane - it is also a secret. Experts say that the plane will be less visible to enemy radars thanks to a special coating. For the same purpose, some engine units are shielded, and mesh anti-radar filters are mounted on the cabin glazing.
Thanks to the new engines, the aircraft will be able to reach altitudes of over twenty kilometers. All this together makes the Tu-160 a very difficult target for the American Patriot anti-aircraft missile system.
The updated version of the aircraft can take more fuel, the engine is slightly more economical, and its characteristics have generally improved. But the most important feature of the Tu-160 is that it can maintain a speed of more than two Mach numbers (1 Mach is the speed of sound at a certain altitude. - "AC" ) in cruising flight for 45 minutes. No bomber in the world can do this
In addition, it has the ability to refuel in the air. Refueling in the air allows for an extended autonomous flight. Tu-160s can go on combat duty in the Pacific Ocean. A pair of missile carriers will fly there, carrying weapons that the enemy does not know about, and periodically refuel in the air

Russian T-62M tanks are equipped with the Tsar-Barbecue protection. At the moment, this is the most effective protection against drones, and the Ukrainian army also uses it. A simplified version of the protection is also installed on Western tanks. The video shows exercises and training of military personnel on T-62M tanks. Russia is currently modernizing T-62M tanks, and the 103rd Armored Repair Plant is doing this. The T-62 tank is based on the T-55 tank and was produced in the USSR from 1962 to 1975.
T-62 tanks have been modernized several times. Major modernizations of the tanks were carried out in 1963, 1985 and 2021. Then the main modifications of the T-62AM, T-62MV and T-62M appeared. The T-62M tank can be equipped with a 125 mm 2A46M cannon, and 115 mm 2A20 cannons can also be used. The T-62M tank's effective firing range is up to 4,000 meters, and its maximum firing range is up to 11,000 meters. The tank has a crew of 4 people.
