Uragan is a big problem, because it's chassis is a huge pain to work with. Ukraine even went as far as rebasing the firing mount onto a new armoured vehicle. In Russia, the plan before the SVO was this (even though the "bigger" platform vehicle is weird). Uragan-1M, as far as we know, is dead.

They won't be making promotional videos of these systems if they were duds. The MoD has made at least two videos for them already, and I refer to such videos more as 'honoring' videos. Uragan appears to contribute significantly to the war effort even with it's normal ammo.

Based on the videos, the Uragan does deploy and undeploy, then move fast enough. The long platform might be a problem for overland travel, but they did use a similar platform for the Smerch and Tornado-S. As for Ukrainian variant, attempts to indigenize the platform usually begins with the transport, given that Ukraine lacks the IP to manufacture the original. We see similar things with all the different Grad cousins manufactured in Eastern Europe, each having their own transporter. For sale sakes, each will claim they're better than the original.

They're a perfectly workable systems(Uragan was the reason behind MLRS appearance in the first place). But, as of now, they won't be continued or replaced with a similar 220mm system.

Russia has developed a jet drone kamikaze K-5. The prototype of the drone was shown at VDNKh by the Ural company Unmanned Vehicles. The drone is equipped with a turbojet power plant that allows it to reach a maximum speed of 400 km/h and a cruising speed of 200 km/h. The flight range of the drone is 90 km, with a useful mass of 6 кг. Drone components are Russian, except for the engine. The drone is equipped with artificial intelligence and computer vision, it works within the framework of thermal signatures and within the framework of images. It has the ability to adjust the inertial system, which will completely get rid of the use of radio channels. By the end of the year, it is planned to show serial samples of reconnaissance and strike drones.

Field repair and barrel replacement of the 203 mm howitzer Malka Rossii. Footage of the repair and replacement of the barrel in the field of the Russian 203-mm self-propelled howitzer "Malka" 2S7M has been published. Russian specialists carried out not only repairs, but also showed the process of checking the ACS barrel in the field. Replacing the ACS barrel in the field takes about 2 hours.

If they can get a cheap civil engine probably from China maybe its worth the money to make them.

I suspect the Sirius might already be deployed in battle.


Promo videos of the Shturm S. Could be proving it's worth in battle that's why the MoD gave it "you did a good job" video.

The TASS news agency announces that Russia has started using a version of the glide and correction kit it used for the FAB-500 but now for the FAB-250.
It is said to have a range of at least 80km at subsonic speeds.
