some one may be disposing old equipment. Su-27 has rarely participated in the conflict. so far Ukrainians unable to stop Russia weopon production.
they are using attack choppers without external fuel tanks. this show confidence on sensors to operate near to front.

The Russian army began to actively use the Inohodets UAV, this is a strike version of the Orion UAV tested in Syria. The development of the Russian UAV "Orion" began in 2011, since then it has been constantly developing. The drone is quite large, the wingspan is 16 meters, the length of the device is 8 meters, but thanks to the use of composite materials, even a propeller is made of them, the drone is difficult to detect by air defense systems. The drone uses elements of artificial intelligence, thanks to which, in the event of some kind of failure, loss of communication with the operator or other emergency situation, the device is able to return to the base, land and drive into the hangar. The UAV is equipped with an anti-icing system, which allows it to be used in northern latitudes. The Pacer drone is capable of conducting reconnaissance and correcting fire with laser-guided munitions, and can itself deliver high-precision missile and bomb strikes. The armament of the drone is KAB-20 and KAB-50 corrected aerial bombs, UPAB-50 guided gliding bomb and Kh-50 guided missile. The drone is also armed with X-UAV ammunition, this is an air version of the Kornet-D ATGM missile, the missile can hit targets at a distance of up to 10 km and be guided by a laser beam and using a thermal and television system. The average height of the use of the drone is 5 kilometers, which will allow it to avoid being hit by MANPADS systems. The range of the drone with a repeater is up to 300 km. The drone is equipped with radar and optoelectronic reconnaissance equipment. The takeoff weight of the UAV is 1200 kg, the payload weight is up to 200 kg, the flight duration is at least 24 hours, the cruising speed is 180 km/h, the drone can rise to a height of up to 7500 meters.

this most complex attack to date. Ukranian never mention attack choppers and Su-25 as part of air attack. so the scale of effort from air is usually understated.
than there is discrepancies in counting of missiles. Tu-95MSM could theoretically carry 14 missile and not all missiles are flown through air defense zone. Tu-160M not part of it.

It is reported that this night, the Russians used ten Tu-95 strategic bombers, seven Tu-22M3 long-range bomber jets, eight Su-35 multi-role fighter jets, six MiG-31K fighter jets, and three Kalibr cruise missile carriers in the Black Sea to launch missiles. They also used missiles from the S-300 air defense system to fire at ground targets. The Russian invaders attacked Ukraine’s critical infrastructure.

There were shots of the use by the Russian army of the Eleron-7 reconnaissance UAV, also created by the ENICS company. The Eleron-7 UAV is built on the basis of the serially produced Eleron-3SV complex, the developers have updated the airframe, power plant, battery and payload equipment of the drone. The Eleron T28ME UAV is designed for round-the-clock aerial optoelectronic reconnaissance at a distance of up to 40 kilometers and an altitude of up to 5000 meters. The UAV can fly autonomously, for this, before starting, a task program is entered into the onboard memory and the drone flies in radio silence mode. The drone is equipped with electric motors and is able to stay in the air for up to 3 hours, while developing a speed of up to 130 km/h. The UAV uses a parachute system to land. The takeoff weight of the drone is 6.5 kg, the maximum payload is 1.5 kg.

An unusual hybrid of military equipment appeared in the Russian army. On the chassis of the lightly armored transporter MT-LB, developed in 1964, a 25-mm double-barreled automatic naval anti-aircraft gun 2M-3 was installed. The 2M-3 gun is reliable and put into service in 1953, the firing range of this gun for ground targets is 7500 meters, for air targets 2800 meters, the rate of fire is up to 1000 rounds per minute. This batch of armored vehicles was converted in Vladivostok and entered the 155th Separate Marine Brigade. It is not clear how this installation will be used, the MT-LB is not suitable for attacks, it is poorly armored, perhaps it will be some kind of mobile firing points that will dig in or quickly transfer to the enemy’s breakthrough line.

Installation of a mechanized bridge by an engineering machine TMM-3M2 of Russia. The TMM-3M2 engineering vehicle on the KAMAZ-53501 chassis was first shown in 2016, the vehicle replaced the Ukrainian TMM-3 vehicle on the KrAZ-255B chassis. The main difference between TMM-3M2 and its predecessors is the use of a hydraulic winch for assembly and disassembly of the bridge, which allows to increase the speed of opening, folding and lowering the bridge block in a larger range. The new car is equipped with rear-view cameras to monitor the laying of the bridge spans. The TM3 M2 machine can create bridge crossings up to 40 meters and a depth of up to 3.5 meters in order to pass wheeled and tracked vehicles through them. The carrying capacity of the bridges is 60 tons, the length of a link of four bridges is 42 meters, the assembly time of four span bridges is no more than 40 minutes.
