The Barrage-1 stratospheric broadband communications platform was launched in Russia for the first time. The platform is designed to relay 5G NTN communications and can be used in place of the Starlink satellite communications system. The Barrage-1 platform can also be used to provide communications for units, control drones, and transmit data. The Barrage-1 stratospheric platform is designed for extended stays in the stratosphere at an altitude of up to 20 km, from several days to several weeks, with a payload of up to 100 kg. The Barrage-1 platform can be used in areas where it is impractical to install communication towers. A pneumatic ballasting system allows the Barrage-1 to change its flight altitude and navigate in the desired direction using the wind, without the use of engines.
3,000km/hour is nothing for Su-57 when you consider both UAE and Saudi media was independently putting 2,800km/hour for Su-35 few years ago. This is not 2008 Su-35.
Previous to this batch, the last batch was said to be around December 2025. There was also a batch of BTR-82A last November.
Footage of Russian FPV drone strikes on advancing Ukrainian army vehicles in the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. The Ukrainian army is currently attempting a counteroffensive at the junction of the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Fighting is ongoing near Pokrovske, near Huliaipole, and elsewhere. The exact location of the footage and the drone models used have not been disclosed.
The Russian company Aeroplatforms also launched a stratospheric balloon for broadband internet connectivity. Previously, the Russian broadband communications platform "Barrage-1" was demonstrated launching into the stratosphere. The project is being managed by JSC Aerodrommash.
Aeroplatforms' stratospheric balloon can ascend to an altitude of up to 24 kilometers. It's worth noting that air defense systems have difficulty intercepting targets at such altitudes, as the balloons have low radar and thermal signatures. The balloons will provide Russian troops with an additional channel for controlling drones at ranges over 100 kilometers, a function previously achieved through cellular communications. Ground troops will also be able to utilize alternative communication channels. Stratospheric internet connectivity projects are temporary solutions for providing connectivity to specific areas.

The Russian corvette Stoikiy (Project 20380) of the Baltic Fleet, docked in the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas for exercises planned with Iran and, reportedly, in the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean, probably also with the participation of Chinese naval units
BREM-80 - a new "workhorse" of special operations is entering the army
The "Uralvagonzavod" concern of Rostec has handed over to the Russian Defense Ministry a batch of armored repair and evacuation vehicles BREM-80. The equipment was created on the basis of the T-80 tank and was modified taking into account real combat tasks in the zone of the special military operation.
Main innovations:
Enhanced crew protection
Mechanized coupling - allows to evacuate damaged equipment without leaving the vehicle
Hydraulic winches and a bulldozer blade for clearing paths
BREM-80 is capable of pulling out not only domestic tanks, but also heavy Western armored vehicles from the battlefield. And the gas turbine engine ensures instant start-up even in the Arctic cold - the vehicle works where other equipment simply stops.
By the way, at the international competition "Rembat-2018", this vehicle set a record - it evacuated six coupled T-80s with a total weight of more than 270 tons!

this thing developed in 2024. i have read one of Ka-52M shoot 27 drones. newest Ka-52M can deal FPV drones.
this MALE UAV is being upgraded to deal with long range air defense. it is exceedingly difficult to protect large slow drones.
Previously this anti tank missile has supersonic speed. but now expect Mach 5+.
