High-quality personnel training Russian units using motor vehicles. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army has also begun to create and train the same units. Soldiers use motorcycles to increase the mobility of groups, maneuverability and surprise when performing military tasks. Practice has shown that the actions of such groups are most effective in the presence of a threat from drones. For such units, most Russian training grounds have built motor tracks, where soldiers, under the guidance of instructors, practice all sorts of elements that will be needed in combat. Soldiers practice tasks in several stages: maneuvering, dispersal and evasion of UAVs. At the same time, fighters learn to ride taking into account the terrain.

Russian troops received a new batch of BMP-3s produced in 2025. The BMP-3s were reportedly upgraded and received additional protection 688M-SB3KDZ. Today, the BMP-3 in its standard configuration is significantly different from the equipment that was several years ago. Over the past three years, dozens of changes have been introduced into its design, which are based on the wishes of the military and the experience of using armored vehicles. These include not only side screens, grilles, upper hemisphere protection kits, but also special devices and equipment that improve the mobility of the vehicle and the effectiveness of weapons.

Russian servicemen showed a 30-mm automatic grenade launcher AGS-17 "Plamya", equipped with a flame suppressor. Thanks to an additional attachment, the grenade launcher can now be used at night, without the risk of detection. The modified grenade launchers are already being used in battles in Ukraine. Details in the video.

I wanna ask you this.
How's the AK-12 as of now?

Are most of its issues (such as the sight zeroing issues) fixed or do they still remain?

The Russian Airborne Forces have received new serial RPL-20 5.45-mm belt-fed machine guns. The machine gun was developed by the Kalashnikov Concern and modified based on recommendations from the assault units of the Russian Airborne Forces. Russian assault groups of Novorossiysk and Stavropol paratroopers are already using machine guns in battles in Ukraine. The machine gun has a non-detachable belt, with the ability to load the weapon by pulling the belt without opening the receiver cover. The paratroopers note that the RPL-20 significantly increases the firepower of the assault group.

Russian BMD-4M with additional new protection have already entered the Russian army units. It is worth noting that this was done quite quickly. Earlier, the BMD-4M were shown at the parade in Moscow. Additional onboard protection slightly, but increases the protection of combat vehicles from drones. The servicemen themselves also additionally strengthened the protection of combat vehicles with screens.
