A new mini missile has been developed for the Russian Pantsir-S1M air defense system. The new missile makes it possible to more effectively shoot down small targets from a record close distance of 500 meters. The development was carried out to fight primarily with massive small-sized targets and, apparently, to reduce the cost of missiles. The Pantsir-S1M missile will reportedly shoot down UAVs and multiple rocket launchers.

Footage of the new Russian fire control complex for troops "Planshet-M-IR" has been published. In this case, the complex is placed in a new armored car "Athlete". The complex was created to automate the fire control of artillery, mortars and MLRS. The system allows the command through the tablet to see the entire situation on the front line and quickly control the fire and the actions of different groups of troops. The complex, through a closed satellite channel, can exchange data, including with UAVs and radars. The task of the complex is to exclude the human factor from the processes of obtaining target designation and carrying out calculations before hitting the target, this speeds up the work of units and increases the accuracy of the strike. "Tablet-M-IR" became the development of the "Tablet-A" complex, which is already being mass-produced and has a lot of positive feedback from the military.

At the Army-2022 forum, which presents the latest innovations in military equipment, a prototype of a Russian robot dog with a grenade launcher was shown. There is almost no information about the M-81 complex yet. The Russian robot is assembled using Chinese technology and is not just an entertainment model.

Tests of the Russian robotic BMP-3 have begun. This is not a robot, the vehicle moves without a driver and gunner, the combat vehicle is controlled remotely by operators. This was done with the help of the Sinitsa combat module installed on the vehicle. Using the module, you can view the area 360 degrees, regardless of the time of day.

Rare footage has been published of the launch and landing of the Russian Orlan-10 UAV on the Project 11356R frigate Admiral Essen of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. The drone from the ship is launched with a catapult, and landing is carried out on the grid on the ship.

SAU 2S3 "Acacia" was put into service in 1971 and proved to be excellent in military conflicts. Despite its age, the self-propelled guns are still in service with the Russian army. The 2S3 self-propelled guns are equipped with a 152-mm caliber gun and have a rate of fire of up to 4 rounds per minute, the self-propelled guns have 46 rounds of ammunition. Thermal firing limits: 30 rounds per 10 min or 75 rounds per hour. Firing range up to 24 km. The crew of the self-propelled guns is 4 people. Range up to 500 km, road speed 60 km/h.

At the Army-2022 military equipment forum, a new Russian K-17 infantry fighting vehicle on the Boomerang platform was shown. The infantry fighting vehicle K-17 carried out training firing at targets from all types of weapons installed on it, except for the AG-17 grenade launcher. In particular, the fire was fired from 7.62 mm. machine gun PKTM, ATGM "Kornet" and 30-mm. automatic gun 2A42. In this version, the Berezhok combat module is installed on the BMP. The crew of the infantry fighting vehicle is three people, the vehicle is capable of carrying 8 troops. The BMP has many electronic systems that facilitate the work of the crew. Booking BMP multi-layered with ceramic content. YaMZ-780 engine, 750 hp allows you to accelerate on the highway to 100 to 100 km / h. The declared power reserve is up to 800 km.

Despite all its firepower, the Russian Terminator tank fire support fighting vehicle also uses elements of protection. We are publishing footage of the installation of an aerosol curtain of the BMPT "Terminator". For the smoke screen in the Terminator BMPT, an 81-mm 3D17 smoke grenade is used. The installation of such a curtain significantly weakens and reflects optical radiation, including laser radiation, thereby disrupting the process of targeting missiles by the enemy.

Video of the driver of the ACS 2S1 "Gvozdika" of Russia. The self-propelled guns were developed in 1971, more than 10,000 installations were produced in total. The Soviet 122-mm regimental self-propelled howitzer has been repeatedly modernized and is the world's first floating self-propelled gun.

Modernized MLRS "Cheburashka" appeared in Donetsk. MLRS "Cheburashka" was developed by Donetsk specialists in 2018. The MLRS uses non-standard caliber 217 mm ammunition, which does not match the Soviet and any other rocket systems. The ammunition itself is also produced in Donetsk. In addition to a large number of missiles, the feature of the Cheburashka MLRS is the ability to hit two targets simultaneously. Two swivel rail packs for 64 missiles are mounted on a KrAZ all-wheel drive chassis. Packages are guided and controlled from a remote control - similar to the Grad MLRS. The officially declared firing range is 10 kilometers. According to the developers, only locally produced parts are used to create the MLRS.

Video of the latest Russian radar "Niobium-SV". Radar complex 103Zh6 "Niobium-SV" is designed to detect and track all types of air targets, including UAVs and those developed using stealth technology. The radar is placed on a KamAZ wheeled chassis, there is another version of the radar with placement on a semi-trailer. Radar "Niobium-SV" is designated by codes 103Zh6 or 1L125. Radar complex 103ZH6 consists of five transport units. The data of the complex are classified, it is known that the radar can detect airborne objects with RCS = 1 m2. The target detection range with such an EPR, at a target flight altitude: 500 meters - 53 km, at an altitude of 10,000 meters - 230 km and at an altitude of 27,000 meters - 320 km. Limits of work: in range - 400 km. It should be noted that the radar data is underestimated. Station deployment time - 15 min.

Self-propelled guns 2S23 "Nona-SVK" appeared in Ukraine. Self-propelled guns are driven by soldiers from Tuva, and negotiations on the air are also conducted in the Tuvan language. Self-propelled gun 2S23 "Nona-SVK" was built on the wheeled chassis of the BTR-80 and entered the army in 1991. Self-propelled gun "Nona-SVK" combines the properties of a gun, howitzer and mortar and has greater mobility. In addition, a self-propelled gun costs 2 times cheaper than tracked self-propelled guns. The main armament of the 2S23 self-propelled gun is the 120-mm 2A60 gun, which also allows the use of foreign ammunition of the appropriate caliber. Ammunition self-propelled guns "Nona-SVK" 30 shots. The firing range is 9 km, when using active-reactive ammunition up to 12-17 km. Crew 4 people.
