Russian troops from the 244th Artillery Brigade unveiled the new 9K57-1 Uragan-1 MLRS on the new BAZ-69092 chassis from the Bryansk Automobile Plant. Previously, the Uragan MLRS, adopted by the USSR in 1975, used the ZIL-135LM chassis. The new Uragan-1 MLRS offers greater maneuverability, and the use of automation has improved the speed of preparation and target accuracy. The MLRS crew is now protected by an armored cabin. The 220mm Uragan MLRS carries 16 rockets and can engage targets at a range of up to 35 kilometers. The Uragan MLRS's high-explosive projectile has a warhead weighing up to 140 kg and over 50 kg of explosives. The types of projectiles are shown on the screen. The BAZ-69092 chassis, with a payload capacity of up to 14,000 kg and a 450 hp engine, enables speeds of up to 80 km/h. The vehicle's range has reached 1,000 km. It can now cross a 0.9-meter-wide ditch, climb a 30-degree slope, and ford water up to 1.4 meters deep.
Footage of winter training for crews of Russian Terminator tank support combat vehicles (T-44) of the Center Force Group. During the training, the crews practice engaging various types of targets with their standard weapons. The Terminator combat vehicles quickly reach the firing line and engage targets with their twin 30mm 2A42 cannons at ranges of up to 4,000 meters, as well as AGS-17 Plamya automatic grenade launchers.
some info from Saudi regarding updated Su-34. With three fuel tanks 8000km range. they say it is longer range than F-15SA which itself is long range. these are very close to reality.
How do you compare the Su-34 to the Saudi F-15SA fighters?
- Engine efficiency: Equipped with advanced engines that save fuel consumption and provide stronger thrust in complex maneuvers.
- Composite materials: Extensive use of modern technologies in the structure to improve overall performance and relatively reduce the radar signature.
- Operational range: The internal range has jumped from 4000 km in the old model to approximately 5000 km currently.
A: The Saudi F-15SA excels in air supremacy, speed, and multi-role capabilities, while the Su-34 excels in very long range, the ability to stay airborne for longer periods without refueling, and its specialization as a deep-penetration bomber.
Are there any data about to&e of drone units
I only gather some fragments.
Company to battalion sized dedicated drone unit are now attached to every regiment and brigade. Besides spotting for artillery and tank units, they now operates FPV drones in free search and destroy modes. These does not include brigade sized units dedicated to drone warfare or drone operators in individual companies.
Specialized drone units.
Rubicon --- Unit answers only to the MoD. Effectively it's a new branch of the Russian military separate from the Army, Navy and Air Force. It's purpose is to test new drone tactics and technologies in the battlefield and use feedback to improve the drones. It also tracks positions of Ukrainian drone units by reconnaissance and EW then assigns strikes at their positions. Uses all forms of FPV, Lancets and Italmas drones.
Grom Kaskad --- Formerly the Obtf Kaskad or Cascade Battalion. DPR unit first gained notoriety in the Donbass using Lancets and played a strong role in blunting the Ukrainian offensive in the South Donetsk. Later promoted to brigade level, hence the name change to Grom Kaskade or Thunder Cascade. Moved to the Kursk region after the Ukrainian offensive there and now operates over the Sumy region. Still operates Lancets but their main operation is to spot targets and deploy Iskanders. Iskander strikes in the Sumy, Chernihiv and Dniprepetrovosk region can be attributed to this unit.
Stalin's Sokols --- Stalin's Falcons. Unit operates Gerans and Gerbara drones. If you see footage of the use of optically guided Gerans striking targets like trains, it can be from the Stalin's Sokols unit.
Smugylansk Detachment --- This is a special unit of the VKS aka Russian Air force deployed on the ground. Their purpose is to find targets for FABs and other air strikes.
Sudoplatov Unit --- One of Russia's most notorious FPV drone units and uses exclusively the VT-40 drone. Operates in both Center and South groups. Note that Group South operates in the north of Group Center.
Bobr -- First gained notoriety in the Ukrainian offensive in Zaporozhye. Later deployed to Kursk then back again in Zaporozhye. Works exclusively in FPV. This appears to be a VDV (Russian Airborne) unit.
14th SPN --- Spetznaz Brigade with Group East. Converted entirely to drone use.
16th SPN --- Spetznaz Brigade attached to Group South. All drone warfare.
Uday's Group --- Drone unit attached to Group North. This could be named after "Uday". The operator with the callsign Uday once vowed to take down 300 targets and post every single one of them in a Telegram channel and which he did accomplish. Subsequently the MoD banned such actions.
Moises' group --- No formal name for this unit. Gained notoriety in the Battle of Krynki. Operator 'Moises' is said to have 500 kills. Likely attached to the 810rd Marine Brigade which was later deployed to Kursk.
Svarog's group --- Another informally named group.
Berkut unit --- Attached to the 238th Guards Artillery Brigade attached to Group South. Drone units attached to artillery and tank units also operate Lancets and FPV. Currently operating in the Konstaninovka area.
Sparta Battalion --- DPR units were the first in the Russian armed forces to use drone tactics, and were using drones even before the SMO began. The legendary Sparta Battalion now operates as a full brigade as the 80th Motorized Rifle Brigade attached with Group South. Currently operating in the Konstaninovka area.
ZALA --- ZALA Corporation appears to operate a private unit in the front to battle test their own products such as the Lancet, Z-16 and Scat 360. Footage gathered is used for their own promotion.
