Russian craftsmen continue to create home-made military equipment. The video shows the tests of two self-propelled robotic combat modules. In the first version, 2 twin 7.62-mm PKT machine guns were installed on a self-propelled platform with a remote-controlled tractor. The second version of the robotic self-propelled gun is less noisy because it runs on a battery, a 12.7-mm NSVT machine gun is installed on the platform. Both self-made mini-robots are controlled online, the video from the cameras is sent to the operator's console. In case the robots fall into the hands of the enemy, explosives are installed on them, which is activated by the operator.

The use of a laser designator range finder 1D22 Russia. Published footage of the destruction of the Ukrainian AN / TPQ counter-battery radar of American production, the Russian high-precision projectile "Krasnopol". To aim the Krasnopol high-precision projectile at the target, a Russian 1D22 laser designator-rangefinder is used, fire is fired from a 152-mm Msta-B howitzer. The 1D22 laser designator-rangefinder can be placed at command and observation posts, as well as in the Mashina-M and Kapustnik-B artillery fire control vehicles. The maximum illumination range of an openly located “tank” type target, in the target designation mode, is at least 7,000 meters, the maximum identification range of a “tank” type target is 20,000 meters. The optical visor of the complex has a 15x magnification. Ready time rangefinder 1D22 to work no more than 3 seconds. The complex is powered by a standard battery with a voltage of 22 to 29 volts. The mass of the portable laser target designation complex LCD-2 is not more than 45 kilograms.
Footage of military personnel training on the command landing vehicle BMD-2 KAU has been published. The modernized Russian combat vehicle BMD-2 KAY began to enter the army in 2015. The main difference between BMD-2 KAU and BMD-2K is the installation of a 3rd generation communication automation complex KSAS-3. The complex was created to include the BMD-2 KAU itself and all BMD-2M operating under its control into a single tactical level control system. The equipment of the combat vehicle BMD-2 KAU provides communication and control of the unit in several modes. Depending on the situation, the battalion commander can perform all operations manually or transfer part of his duties to automation. The design of the armored personnel carrier BMD-2K-AU, the power plant and armament remained the same.

Training footage of Russian ATGM mobile crews using ATVs. The calculation quickly arrives at the firing line, deploys anti-tank systems and prepares to defeat enemy equipment. As it turned out, the ATV is one of the best vehicles for the operation of mobile anti-tank systems, the equipment copes well with off-road, has small dimensions and is difficult to distinguish from the ground and air.
Footage of the work of the Russian BMP-2M with the Berezhok combat module. The BMP-2 was created in the early 80s and is now one of the most widespread infantry fighting vehicles in the world. The machine has proven itself in Afghanistan. However, now there is already insufficient armoring of the car and an increase in the efficiency of fire is required, especially at night. The combat module "Berezhok" developed in 2010 was supposed to increase the firepower of the vehicle, which, in principle, the creators succeeded. Tests of the upgraded BMP-2M were completed in 2019, its combat capabilities have increased by about three times. The developers decided not to change the main strike armament of the BMP-2, the 2A42 gun. To enhance firepower, an AGS-30M automatic grenade launcher was installed on the BMP-2 and the PKT machine gun was replaced with an upgraded version of the PKTM. Four Kornet anti-tank systems were installed on the tower to attack targets such as tanks and armored personnel carriers at a distance of 5 to 10 kilometers. During modernization, the existing BMP-2 turret does not change, but is simply upgraded. The BMP-2M armored vehicle received new sights with night and thermal imaging observation channels, weapons and observation devices are stabilized and can automatically hold the target. Regarding the topic of booking an armored personnel carrier, various options were developed to enhance the armor of the vehicle, but none of them has become widespread at the moment. In general, it is impossible to improve everything on a car, since improving some characteristics worsens other characteristics of the car.

This was announced on Saturday by the director general of the state corporation Sergey Chemezov.
"Of course. It [Kinzhal] has been on the market for a long time. It's just that initially it didn't require as much quantity as it does now, so we are now increasing [production volume]", Chemezov said on the air of the Military Acceptance program on the Zvezda Plus TV channel".
Missiles "Kinzhal"
"Kinzhal" is the latest Russian complex with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles carried by specially equipped MiG-31K interceptors. The Kinzhal missile has low radar visibility and high maneuverability and is designed to destroy ground and sea targets.
Brief characteristics of the Kinzhal missile system were named by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his speech to the Federal Assembly on March 1, 2018: the speed is 10 times the speed of sound; range - more than 2 thousand km; the missile maneuvers in all parts of the trajectory, which allows it to overcome all air defense and missile defense systems; equipped with conventional or nuclear warheads. The mass of the warhead is 500 kg.
The Kinzhal complexes have been on experimental combat duty in the RF Armed Forces since December 2017. Officially, the first combat use of these missiles took place on March 18, 2022, during a military special operation in Ukraine.
