Test footage of the Russian anti-drone gun "Happy", the gun is being tested on the DJI Mavic Pro drone. The Harpy 120W anti-drone gun contains 5 working amplifiers with a total power of 120W. Each channel can be controlled independently, the block menu UAV frequencies. Powerful high-gain directional antenna with a directivity of 45 degrees acts on drones and quadcopters at a distance of 500-2000 meters. The complex against drones "Happy" work up to 60 minutes and can be charged from the vehicle's onboard network. The price of the gun is about $6500.

Russian servicemen showed the preparation and firing of the Metis ATGM. ATGM 9K115 "Metis" was developed in 1978, the complex, despite its age, is still relevant due to penetration, compactness, light weight, there is not always a need for long-range ATGMs. The complex was repeatedly modernized, its firing range was increased to 2000 meters. In this case, the calculation uses the 9P151 launcher and the 9M115 HEAT missile with a flight range of up to 1000 meters. The armor penetration of the 9M 115 AT GM "Metis" missile is up to 550 mm. The time to bring the complex into combat position is 12 seconds, the rate of fire is up to 4 rounds per minute.

Footage of the launch of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" has been published. There is very little information on the drone, the manufacturer ZALA AERO provides only a minimum of data. Loitering ammunition "Lancet" is available in 3 types. A reduced version of the Lancet-1 drone, the warhead of the drone is high-explosive fragmentation weighing 1 kg, the flight time is 30 minutes at a distance of up to 40 km at a speed of up to 110 km/h, the take-off weight of the drone is 5 kg. The second version is the Lancet-3 drone, it is larger and heavier, the take-off weight of the drone has increased to 12 kg. The warhead of the drone is supplemented with a variant with a shaped charge weighing up to 3 kg. The flight time, depending on the load, already reaches 60 minutes, at a distance of up to 70 km, at a peak speed of up to 300 km / h. The third version of the loitering ammunition, the Lancet-3M drone, an upgraded version that received an X-shaped wing and small X-shaped plumage in the tail. There is no data on this model, as well as on the Lancet-5 and Lancet-10 drones of which information sometimes appears. It is not clear whether the Lancet-3M will replace the Lancet-3 version, or whether they will be released in parallel, one thing is for sure, the drone is constantly being improved. All drone models have an electric motor, and the drone itself is made of plastic and composite materials, which makes it difficult for air defense systems to detect it. The operating altitude of the drone is from 50-500 meters, in practice, as it turned out, it can fly below 50 meters. Drone "Lancet" contains three types of interchangeable guidance systems - coordinate, optoelectronic and combined, there is also a television communication channel that allows the operator to visually aim the drone at the target. The UAV can be equipped with a laser target designator, a target search sensor, a gas analyzer and a radiometer. The drone can operate in the “aerial mining” mode, which means patrolling the airspace and destroying other UAVs; there are no shots of its operation in this mode yet. You can see a lot of shots of the combat work of the drone "Lancet" on our channel and also by the link in the comments to the video.

The Russian frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" of project 22350, which is now on a long voyage in the Indian Ocean, conducted exercises to search for submarines. The Ka-27PL helicopter was involved in the exercises. The pilots carried out a set of measures for visual, radar and magnetometric search for submarines using standard radio equipment and the VGS-3 Ros-V onboard sonar station, as well as setting up barriers from hydroacoustic buoys. It takes about 30 seconds for the VGS-3 hydroacoustic station to perform a circular survey in the noise direction finding mode.

The footage of the work of the new Russian Serb-VS 5 anti-drone complex has been published, this complex is an improved version of the Serp-VS complex. The Serp-VS5 complex is designed for a range of up to 5 kilometers. The complex operates in five frequency bands - from 900 MHz to 5.8 GHz. This allows you to use it not only against civilians, but also against special aircraft. The system suppresses GPS, GLONASS, Beidou signals, and also breaks drone control over Wi-Fi. The complex "sees" UAV-violators in the sector of 360 degrees along the horizontal axis. A feature of the complex is the function of dividing the viewing angle into sectors, which allows you to use your UAVs while the complex is working on intruder drones. The Serp-VS anti-drone complex works well on "complex" objects with a complex perimeter of the protected area.

Russian MTs-566 sniper rifle. Footage of the work of Russian snipers in Ukraine. The calculation uses the Russian MTs-566 sniper rifle with a caliber of 7.62 mm. The MTs-566 self-loading rifle was developed by the Tula Central Design Bureau and has 10 magazines. An interesting feature of the rifle is the ability of the shooter to change its barrel to a different caliber; to change it, it is enough to loosen a few screws and then the barrel can be easily removed from the receiver. In the tests carried out, the rifle showed good results. The effective range of the rifle is 1000 meters, the weight is 5 kilograms. The price of a rifle in small-scale production is about $ 6,000.

. This brings the total to seven, plus the three Pr. 10510 nuclear-powered icebreakers that are also planned Though, it is curious that Manturov only mentioned Rossiya and not the other two Pr. 10510 icebreakers that are meant to be on the order books...

For clarity, here are Russia's new generation nuclear-powered icebreakers:

Pr. 22220
Arktika - In service
Sibir - In service
Ural - In service
Yakutia - Launched
