Installation of missiles in the self-propelled ATGM Shturm-S of Russia. During the training of Russian military personnel at the training ground, footage of loading and firing missiles of the Shturm-S self-propelled anti-tank system was published. The 9P149 combat vehicle uses 12 ATGMs, which can be equipped with a high-explosive, cumulative or rod warhead. The missiles of the Shturm-S complex are located in a rotating drum, the weight of the missile in the transport container is 46.5 kg. The complex allows you to fire at targets moving at a frontal speed of 80 km / h and with a flank speed of up to 60 km / h, with a rate of fire of 4 rounds per minute. The complex worked well in Afghanistan and Chechnya, at a maximum range of 5000 meters it hit targets meter by meter in size. The armor penetration of missiles of the Shturm-S complex is from 650 to 950 mm of armor.
Overview of kamikaze drones Geran-2 of Russia, launches. Rare footage of the night launch of Russian kamikaze drones "Geran-2" has been published. As you know, the Geran-2 drone is a modernized Iranian Shahed-136 drone. A drone weighing 200 kilograms is launched from a catapult using a solid-fuel booster at a distance of up to 2000 kilometers. The mass of the warhead of the drone is 50 kilograms, the flight altitude is up to 4000 meters. The drone is equipped with a 50 hp engine. and develops a speed of up to 180 km / h with a flight duration of up to 12 hours. The drone has a small thermal footprint and is difficult to detect by radar due to the plastic body and wooden propeller, as well as the low flight altitude of 60 meters. At a short range, "Geran-2" is controlled like a conventional UAV. At long distances by GPS or GLONASS coordinates. The approximate price of the Geranium-2 drone is 50 thousand dollars.
High-Precision Complexes Holding, part of Rostec, has completed the development of the Ptitselov anti-aircraft missile system on the landing vehicle chassis (BMD-4M) for the Airborne Forces. This was reported on May 15 by RIA Novosti with reference to the corporation.
The short-range surface-to-air missile system is designed to protect troops against enemy air attacks. "Ptitselov is equipped with 12 guided missiles capable of engaging targets at ranges up to 10 km and altitudes up to 5 km. The latest ADMS has a state-of-the-art opto-electronic control system and two sets of six 9M340 anti-aircraft missiles.
The new air defense system is a "Sosna" combat module on a BMD-4M air-landing chassis.
Experts call Ptitselov a unique air defence system which will significantly enhance air defence of airborne troops. "Ptitselov can replace the Strela-10 complex in the Airborne Forces.
The short-range anti-aircraft missile system with the Sosna combat module, created on the basis of the BMP-3, still continues to be tested, Rostec recalled.
The main difference between "Ptitselov" and "Sosna" is the possibility of parachuting from military transport aircraft.
The Sosna system is basically similar as Swedish RBS-70 or British Starstreak in respect they're laser guided. It is fast but i dont think it can replace Strela just yet particularly if multiple target engagement is desired.
Strela-10 could only carry 4 missiles in the first place. The missiles had 5km range.
Sosna has 10km ranged missiles and can carry 12 of those. So it is a vast step forward.
Strela proved incapable in Nargono-Karabakh against Turkish TB2 drones with 8km range air to ground missiles.
These systems are supposed to be network connected with external radars. Even the Strela-10M was capable of that.
The radar is supposed to be in a separate command post vehicle.

Russia will ‘maximize’ arms production after treaty exit – ex-president
Dmitry Medvedev declared “good riddance” after MPs backed the termination of Moscow's commitment to a treaty with NATO

Russia will field arms where it wants on its territory and step up weapons production after its withdrawal from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) with NATO, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has said.
“Good riddance,” Medevev wrote on Telegram on Tuesday after the Russian parliament unanimously supported the law allowing Moscow to denounce the agreement, signed in 1990 by NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries, comprising the USSR and its allies in Eastern Europe.
The CFE limited the number of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, helicopters and aircraft allowed to be stationed in Europe in order to preserve parity and prevent the sides from amassing forces for a blitzkrieg-type offensive.
“This document lost its relevance for us back in 2007,” the former president, who now holds the position of deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, said. Russia suspended its participation in CFE in 2007, accusing NATO of repeatedly violating the provisions of the treaty and citing the US-led bloc’s refusal to ratify an updated version of the agreement.
After Moscow’s withdrawal from the CFE and suspension of its other international obligations, “nothing prevents us from placing our weapons where we want to in order to protect our national interests, including in our Russian part of Europe,” he wrote.
Medvedev also vowed that Russia was now going to “maximize the production of weapons, military equipment and means of destruction.”
The former president sent his best regards to French leader Emmanuel Macron, commenting that withdrawing from the CFE “by his logic, is also a geopolitical defeat of Russia.”
He was likely referring to comments made by Macron during an interview with the L’Opinion outlet on Sunday, in which he expressed the belief that Russia had already suffered a “geopolitical defeat” due to the conflict in Ukraine and had become more dependent on China.
In February, Russia suspended its participation in New START, which remained its last bilateral nuclear arms reduction agreement with the US. Moscow explained the move by Washington’s refusal to allow Russian inspections of its nuclear sites and alleged use of the Ukrainian military to carry out proxy attacks against Russia’s strategic aviation. However, the Russian side assured it would continue to inform the US about its ballistic missile launches as a gesture of good will.
