Russian servicemen demonstrated the launch of a 3D6 smoke munition from the 902 "Tucha" system from a T-80BVM tank; the 81-mm smoke munition is part of the standard equipment. But in this case, the launcher has been rearranged. It is assumed that the tank, having approached the enemy closely, will be able to smoke the enemy trenches, which will force him to retreat or will interfere with firing at the tank. Smoke munitions are fired at a distance of 10 to 350 meters, after falling to the ground they emit dark smoke. The smoke screen lasts up to 1.5 minutes, its length reaches 30 meters and the height up to 10 meters, depending on the wind and air temperature.
New footage of the work of engineering units of the Russian army, creating river crossings. The video shows the work of the Russian heavy mechanized bridge TMM-3M2 based on the chassis of the KAMAZ-53501 truck. Technical information about the TMM-3M2 in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The heavy mechanized bridge TMM-3M2 was developed by the Russian company "Galichsky Avtokranovy Zavod" and was first shown in 2016.
Whether you're following the Ukraine war or just want to blow crap up at War Thunder, YouTube channel Matsimus has an introductory video of this iconic SPG. The ones currently used by the Russians uses a modified gun that has increased length to L39 from L27.

The video shows the use of the Bishop transport platform by the Russian army to evacuate the wounded, the location of the shooting is not reported. The remotely controlled robotic platform Bishop is designed to evacuate the wounded and transport cargo. The platform has an inclined retractable ramp that allows a soldier to be loaded using a winch. The Bishop robotic platform has a night vision camera. The Bishop wheeled drone is equipped with a 9 hp internal combustion engine and develops a speed of up to 50 km / h, with a cruising range of 40 km. The robot can operate at a distance of up to 3 km and carry a load of up to 300 kg.
20 km --> 10 kg, so it's 2 km/kg. I wouldn't call that bad.
Spooling of fiber optic cable for FPV drone.
seems 2 Kg/Km eh ? I wonder if it can be improved, lighter but stronger cable maybe ?
Mortars are underrated in the war, maybe because they are basic and not very sexy but they are everywhere and essential. Certainly their destructive potential should not underestimated.

The new Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" controlled by a fiber optic cable was shown up close for the first time. The video clearly shows the entire structure of the drone, from the very beginning of use, the drone has never been shown so close. The FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" was developed by the Novgorod Scientific and Production Center "Ushkuynik", but its characteristics have not yet been made public, the price is also unknown. The abbreviated name of the drone is "KVN". Of the features of using the drone, it is forbidden to take off sharply, turn strongly and fly backwards. It is advisable to fly in a straight line. This drone is used by the "Veterans" brigade, a volunteer corps. The drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" has a reel with a fiber optic cable, allowing it to be used at a distance of presumably up to 20 km. Most likely, the cable reel can be changed to increase the flight range to 40 km, they are already used on Ukrainian drones. Accordingly, the flight time and warhead will be significantly shorter. In this version, the FPV drone "Vandal" is equipped with an enhanced cumulative munition PG-9S. The carrying capacity of the FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" is up to 6 kg.
Russian servicemen have equipped a Soviet-made BMP-1 with a homemade "Tsar-mangal" protection. In this case, instead of bars, hedgehogs made of wire are welded to the sides of the BMP-1, and the front of the combat vehicle is protected by hanging steel cables. According to some, steel hedgehogs more effectively protect the combat vehicle from drones.
