Tornado-S is being used now in HE-FRAG mode to take out UAV control centers, just as we have seen X-38ML missiles being used in a similar capacity, and the ramp up of LMUR on this role.

This is a hit in Konstantinovka by the 439 Rocket Artillery Brigade with the 238th Artillery Brigade doing the scouting.

There's a similar strike in Volchansk. This feels similar to a FAB-250 strike.



A combat sequence involving two Russian T-72B3M tanks in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region. The video was filmed in the Krasnoarmiisk sector. In the video, two T-72B3M tanks fire at Ukrainian army strongholds located in a forest belt. It's worth noting that tank battles no longer exist in Ukraine. Modernized T-72B3M tanks began to be produced in 2022.


That's what the tanks do in background now. They hit at around 10km using indirect fire with a drone for artillery spotting and damage verification. They shoot and scoot, like a short range SPG. Or acting l8ke an assault gun if they are not turned into a turtle tank. As it turns out they are doing a remarkable job at it. Smoothbore gun firing finned projectiles seem able to deal more accurate results than artillery with rifled barrels. Maybe.

As such, it was logical for the Russians to take out their T-62M and T-62BV inventories as the smoothbore gun can deliver a ballistic range of nearly 10km. T-54/55 tanks would be logical, given the 18 degree elevation allows a ballistic range of 16km, about the same range as a D-30 howitzer or 2S1 Gvozdika using non rocket assisted projectiles. T-54/55 uses a rifled barrel though.

if the leak is legit and full, Looks like there is no mention of the armata maybe they start producing it after reducing the produciton of the other tanks and the end of the war ,the BMPT is to be procured in low numbers ,and the new T-90M2 will have redisgned turret, reverse trans fix a modernized crew chamber(also for new T-800)

This seems like a T-90 with an Armata turret. Historically, strapping an existing tank with the turret of it's supposed successor has yielded legendary success. Think of the T-34/85, which is the T-34 using the T-44 turret. Or the Sherman Easy Eight.

With tanks being used as SPGs and assault guns, you don't need to tank overkill for now. You need availability and quantity to plug the entire frontline.

Ironically, the real SPGs aren't doing shoot and scoot anymore. They shoot a few shells, then gets quickly covered with camouflage, then wait for a while before moving out or start shooting again.

If what Ukranian is saying correct than it means the range and speed of Kinzal allow to be fired from thousands of kms and still not giving enough reaction time. Russia only airforce in world that has 800kg warhead tactical missile and strategic hypersonic missile on tactical aircraft.

Russia has changed its Kinzhal missile firing tactics: air defenses have less time to intercept​

ussia has changed its tactics for deploying its Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. MiG-31 fighter-bombers can now refuel in mid-air before launching the missiles, remaining outside the coverage area of Ukrainian early warning systems. This significantly complicates the detection and interception of aerial threats.

has surfaced online . It likely shows a Russian MiG-31K/L with an Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile under its wing undergoing in-flight refueling from an Il-78 aircraft. The photo was taken over Russian territory and has already sparked concern among military experts.
Experts believe this is a significant change in tactics. Refueling allows aircraft to launch missiles from deep within Russian territory, remaining invisible to Ukrainian monitoring systems and significantly reducing the time Ukraine has to alert the public or deploy air defense assets.

In addition, the MiG-31's increased range allows them to remain in the air longer before striking, making it more difficult to predict the direction of attack.


This new tactic is already impacting the effectiveness of Ukrainian air defenses. Western analysts previously noted that the warning time for intercepting missiles has been significantly reduced, and the ability of Kinzhal and Iskander missiles to maneuver in flight has reduced the effectiveness of Patriot systems to approximately 6%.

Sukhoi history. started late but very diverse characteristic planes like Su-24/Su-25/Su-27 in similar time frame.

The Russian army has received approximately 1,500 Tor FPV drones. All types of drones have been delivered, including those with fiber optics and embedded artificial intelligence modules. Tor drones were developed by specialists from a Moscow design bureau and engineers from St. Petersburg. According to the developers, the drones can operate autonomously, avoiding enemy electronic warfare (EW) zones. The drone can perform missions without operator intervention or operate in a mixed mode, with the operator setting the target and the artificial intelligence assisting in its destruction. Tor drones have undergone approximately 10 stages of improvement over three years and are now available in several modifications, including models with diameters ranging from 10 to 15 inches.

Russian military personnel have released high-quality footage of the loading process of a 107-mm Type 75 MLRS. The North Korean Type 75 MLRS is currently in active use in the Russian army. The Type 75 MLRS was adopted by North Korea in 1974 and is a licensed analogue of the Chinese Type 63 MLRS. The video shows the loading of the MLRS with cluster munitions and R-107 high-explosive fragmentation rockets. The MLRS is armed with 12 projectiles weighing approximately 18 kg, with a warhead weighing approximately 1.5 kg. The maximum firing range of the MLRS is approximately 8.5 km, and the minimum is 1.5 km. The system can fire a full complement of ammunition in 7-10 seconds. The estimated price of the Type 75 MLRS is approximately $20,000.

Russia has started manufacturing a prototype of the single-engine Su-75 fighter jet​

At the aircraft factory in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, production has begun on the first prototype of the Su-75 "Checkmate," a light fifth-generation stealth aircraft. This project, first unveiled in 2021, is positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Su-57 and Western counterparts.
