When low tech steal the day... if it works it works but damn it's ugly.
The Russian military group was inspected by Defense Minister Andrey Belousov. During the inspection, the minister was shown Russian military robotic equipment; it is worth noting that many of the equipment are still being produced in small batches. The video shows various remotely controlled robotic platforms, mining robots, transport drones and other equipment. The video also shows a tracked all-terrain vehicle based on the UAZ-469 and a T-80BVM tank with drone protection in the form of steel cables; we showed this tank earlier.
The widely known 122-mm Russian self-propelled artillery unit 2S1 "Gvozdika" was equipped with homemade protection elements. The video is short, but it shows that the turret of the SAU "Gvozdika" is protected from drones by a circular lattice dome, the sides of the howitzer are covered with hinged protective sheets. The frontal lower armor plate of the self-propelled artillery unit 2S1 "Gvozdika" is covered with chains, which also protects drones. The protection was made by the military personnel themselves.
To be fair the 2S1 Gvozdika is Soviet not Russian, there's a distinction between both. The bulk of Gvozdika production was in the Soviet era Kharkov Tank Plant, now Kharkhiv Tractor Plant and which has been Iskandered to ruins.
These things are so useful that Denmark is trying to scrounge up used Gvozdikas in the arms market to send to Ukraine.
Footage of the conversion of the Russian T-72B3 tank into a transport APC with enhanced protection against drones. The APC will be designed to carry 6 paratroopers, the tank's turret has been removed and a capsule has been installed instead. The reasons for creating such equipment are that the Russian army, including the Ukrainian one, currently has no armored vehicles that can protect against drones. A serviceman from the repair unit explains how the protection of the Russian heavy transport APC with the "Tsar Mangal" protection is arranged.
More anti-drone cartridges are shown in Russia. In this case, 7.62x39 mm cartridges are shown, they are used on a self-loading carbine designed by Sergei Simonov. The cartridge uses a 3D-printed bullet loaded with shot. It is reported that anti-drone cartridges are currently undergoing testing, who will make them is currently unknown. Presumably, this will already be factory production.
Did they use an old SKS on the video ? Look like it.
