A rare export T-90S tank has been spotted in service with a Russian army unit. The T-90S is equipped with a thermal imager with a French Thales Catherine FC sensor and an "Essa" electro-optical thermal imaging sight, which allows for the search, detection, and identification of targets at any time of day or night at a range of up to 4 km. The tank is also equipped with a simplified anti-drone "brazier."

The Russian holding company High Precision Systems has developed and produced the first batches of the SC 226 and SC 228 "Mnogotochie" multi-bullet cartridges. These new cartridges significantly increase the effectiveness of anti-drone fire. "Mnogotochie" is a combination of the SC 226 5.45mm and the SC 228 7.62mm multi-bullet cartridges.
The cartridge contains a three-element bullet that splits evenly in flight, improving accuracy and the likelihood of hitting small targets such as drones. No modifications to the firearm are required to use the "Mnogotochie" cartridges. Firing with the SC 226 or SC 228 cartridges increases the effectiveness of FPV drone engagement at ranges of up to 300 meters by two and a half times. The production of Mnogotochie cartridges uses standard 5.45mm and 7.62mm caliber cartridges, as well as standard gunpowder, which simplifies the mass production of anti-drone cartridges.

The Russian Burevestnik unmanned systems regiment unveiled the homemade military robotic platform "Kultivator-4." The Kultivator tracked drone is armed with two UB-16-57KV pods with S-5 unguided air-to-air missiles.
The UB-16-57 pod was accepted into service in 1958 and is designed for installation on aircraft and helicopters. The UB-16-57KV pod can launch 16 S-5 57mm rockets to a range of approximately 1,800 meters. The Burevestnik-4 remotely controlled robot is already in active use, with a range of approximately 10 km.

Crews of Terminator tank support combat vehicles from Russia's Center Forces conducted joint exercises with T-80BVM tanks. During the exercises, the Terminator BMPT crews provide cover for the tanks and practice tactics for engaging enemy strongholds and armored vehicles. The Terminator crews practiced loading procedures, performed rapid deployments to firing lines, and engaged targets at ranges of up to 4,000 meters using twin 30mm 2A42 cannons and AGS-17 Plamya automatic grenade launchers at ranges of up to 1,700 meters.
The video shows Russian homemade remote-controlled robotic platforms from the Burevestnik unmanned systems regiment. It's worth noting that despite the technology being homemade, it's already in use and may become mass-produced in the future. The video shows the "Postman" tracked drone, designed to destroy enemy strongholds. The robot's warhead weighs up to 30 kg. The robot does not self-destruct; it only delivers the warhead. The universal robotic platform "Zavesa" is designed to lay smoke screens. The robot is equipped with two BDSh-5 smoke grenades. Technical information is on the screen. The "Roy" remote-controlled tracked drone is armed with six RPO-A "Shmel" rocket-propelled flamethrowers. Technical information on the "Shmel-M" infantry rocket-propelled flamethrower is available on the channel. It's worth noting that this is not the first robot with the RPO "Shmel" rocket-propelled flamethrower. The "Lemonnik" robot with launchers capable of firing 20 hand grenades. All drones have a range of up to 10 km. All equipment is reported to be operating effectively.
The "High-Precision Complexes" have supplied the military with new "Zubr" systems to protect infrastructure from UAVs
The "High-Precision Complexes" holding of the Rostec State Corporation has for the first time supplied the Russian Defense Ministry with the latest "Zubr" systems, designed to protect infrastructure from drones. The radar stations that make up the system detect both large and small aerial targets.
The "Zubr" airspace monitoring and control system is designed to protect the near-zone of critical infrastructure. It ensures the detection of aerial targets, including small unmanned aerial vehicles and loitering munitions, at any time of the day.
"The 'Zubr' system was created by specialists of our 'High-Precision Complexes'. It independently detects a drone and takes it on automatic tracking. The operator only needs to make a decision and give the order to engage. The system demonstrated high effectiveness in combating small and high-speed targets during the tests," noted the industrial director of the Rostec State Corporation's weapons cluster, member of the Bureau of the Russian Machine Builders' Union, Bekhan Ozdoev.
The "Zubr" is equipped with four modules, a control point, and its own radar station. The systems have already begun their duty of ensuring the protection of infrastructure objects.

Rostec has delivered Zubr air defense systems to the Russian military for the first time. A full-length video is not yet available. The Zubr air defense system is designed to protect critical infrastructure from air threats in the near field. The Zubr air defense system has a radar with a target detection range of up to 1.5 kilometers. The Zubr air defense system is equipped with four anti-aircraft mounts, a control post, and a radar. The Zubr air defense system is capable of independently detecting small aerial targets and automatically tracking them. The systems have already begun active duty protecting infrastructure facilities.
Ex-Wagner tank? Wagner operated export grade T-90s before they were reorganized, units absorbed and repatriated to the Russian Army.
Rare footage of the Russian MTU-90M universal tank-launched bridgelayer, based on the T-90S tank chassis, in action. The modernized MTU-90M bridgelayer was accepted into service in 2013 and is designed to build single-span bridges to cross ditches, canals, narrow rivers, and other obstacles up to 19 meters wide. The MTU-90M can also be used in rescue operations. The MTU-90M crew can build a bridge in 2.5 minutes without leaving the vehicle. The folding bridge created by the MTU-90M is made of high-strength steel, can withstand a load of up to 60 tons, and can extend up to 20 meters. The MTU-90M weighs 47 tons and has a speed of up to 60 km/h, with a cruising range of up to 550 km. The MTU-90M has a crew of two.
