One of the key roles in the work of Russian artillery in Ukraine is assigned to the 152-mm Msta-S self-propelled artillery mount. At an arms exhibition in 1993 in Abu Dhabi, Msta-S hit 38 out of 40 targets at a distance of 15 km. The unit has been modernized several times, in Ukraine the 2S19M1 and 2S19M2 versions are now used. According to the gunners, "Msta-SM2" proved to be excellent in the battles in Ukraine. The firing range of self-propelled guns with a conventional projectile is 25 km; active-reactive - up to 29 km, self-propelled guns ammunition 50 shells. Rate of fire 10 rounds per minute.

The BREM-1 tank evacuator was created on the basis of the T-72 and was put into service in 1975 and is intended primarily for the evacuation of T-72, T-80 and T-90 tanks. To lift cargo, the BREM-1 is equipped with a swivel crane with a lifting capacity of up to 12 tons. The machine transports various equipment for repair, one of them is an ESA-1 electric welding machine. BREM-1 is armed for self-defense with a NSVT heavy machine gun located on a turret above the commander's hatch, and thermal smoke equipment is an additional means of protection. The 840-horsepower V-84MS engine allows the BREM-1 to reach speeds of up to 60 km / h on the highway. When towing a T-72 tank, the speed on a dirt road does not exceed 10-15 km/h. Currently, there is a modernized version of the BREM-1M, it is being built on the basis of the T-90 tank.
Serial production of the BM-30-D "Spokes" remote-controlled uninhabited combat module for the KamAZ-43269 "Shot" armored car has begun in Russia. The Spica combat module is equipped with a 30 mm 2A42 automatic cannon, a 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun, as well as an AG-30 automatic grenade launcher. The module has a modern sight with television and thermal imaging channels and a laser rangefinder. A lightweight and simplified version of this module without the AG-30 grenade launcher is also installed on the Typhoon Airborne armored car. The Spica combat module will also be installed on other Russian armored vehicles and armored personnel carriers.
The Terminator tank support combat vehicle is designed to operate as part of tank units in order to defeat anti-tank weapons and enemy manpower. The armament of the Terminator BMPT is two 30 mm 2A42 automatic cannons, a 7.62 mm tank machine gun, automatic grenade launchers AG-17D and ATGM Kornet. In terms of protection, the Terminator can be compared with the T-90 tank, and in some ways it surpasses it. For example, it is equipped with a dynamic protection system "Relict". The BMPT is protected from enemy anti-tank melee weapons within 360 degrees. The machine was put into service in 2018.

Footage of the combat operation of the Orlan-10 UAV was shown by the Russian Defense Ministry. The Orlan-10 UAV began to be delivered to the troops in 2010 and by now is the most massive UAV of the Russian army used in Ukraine. The Orlan-10 has a mass of 14 kg and is capable of carrying up to 4 high-explosive shells. In various configurations, UAVs can conduct surveillance in the optical and infrared range. Orlan‑10 is capable of automatically detecting the positions of switched-on GSM phones, VHF communication stations, operating radars. And the compact electronic warfare systems on board allow this device to jam GSM communications and disrupt the operation of GPS receivers.. One of the main features of the Orlan‑10 UAV is integration with the Msta ACS, it was these drones that provided laser illumination of targets for the Krasnopol corrected projectiles fired by the Msta‑S artillery installations. The device is collapsible and fits into a container. The UAV is equipped with a gasoline engine, with which it develops speeds up to 130-150 km / h. The duration of the flight is 15-16 hours . The launch of the UAV is carried out from the catapult installation. The flight takes place automatically according to a pre-programmed program or under the control of an operator. Landing is performed using a parachute and a balloon under the bottom. Flight range, 600 kilometers, range 120. The price of the Orlan-10 UAV is from 87,000 to 120,000 dollars.
The work of the 2S5 self-propelled gun "Hyacinth-S" combat crew in Ukraine was shown by the Russian Defense Ministry. The Russian self-propelled gun 2S5 was adopted in 1975 and received the nickname "Genocide" for its high efficiency and reliability. Unlike other self-propelled guns, Hyacinth was not supplied to the USSR in any country in the world. To facilitate the work of the loader, the ACS is equipped with a chain sender of the projectile and charge. The ammunition of the installation is 30 shells, the rate of fire is 5-6 rounds per minute, the firing range of active-reactive projectiles is 33 km, the 2X5M modification has a firing range of 37 km and has digital guidance systems. The crew of the ACS is 5 people, the range of the installation is 500 km.
The king of Russian mortars, like many Russian artillery, is romantically named 2C4 "Tulip". The pretty name of the flower hides a monstrous power that inspires fear and respect, by the way, the shot of its 130 kilogram mine leaves a funnel in the ground with a diameter of 10 and a depth of almost 6 meters. Now there are no analogues of the Russian "Tulip": it significantly surpasses conventional artillery and is a record holder. 2C4 "Tulip" is intended primarily for the destruction of bunkers and fortified positions, of which a huge number has been created by the Ukrainian army in the Donbas. The mortar began to enter the army in 1972 and now Russia has 390 pieces in storage, 40 of them are actively used. Due to the large weight of the mines, the mortar barrel is lowered to charge and the combat crew of the machine, consisting of 11 people, manually with the help of a lifting mechanism, put the mine from the trolley on the tray and send it into the barrel. The rate of fire of the mortar is 1 shot per minute, the range is 9.5 km with conventional mines and 19 active-reactive. For protection, the mortar is equipped with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. The "Tulip" shot is fired by the gunner using a special remote control. The transported ammunition of the "Tulip" is 20 high-explosive artillery mines, or 10 active-reactive. The successful baptism of fire "Tulip" took place in Afghanistan and Chechnya. The 2C4 self-propelled gun weighing 27 tons is equipped with a diesel engine with a capacity of more than 500 hp and can use kerosene as fuel, the speed of movement on the highway is up to 60 km / h.

Two more Felons: new Su-57s spotted in Russia
Russian planespotters report seeing two brand new Su-57 fighter jets in Novosibirsk.
www.aerotime.aero
Looks like they have now completed production of number 4 and 5 - but again without the 'new' engines - or they could have just stuck Mikey Mouse numbers on the 3 they already produced
At this production rate they might have a squadron by 2030ish
Just hope they have enough to do a fly by for Putin's funeral
The S-300 family of air defense systems is quite widely represented and you can get confused in it. In short, these are several types, the S-300P is directly intended for the air defense forces, the S-300V is for the ground forces and the S-300F is for the fleet, there is also a tracked version of the S-300V4 for the ground forces, designed more to deal with aircraft EW. S-300PM2 is the modernization of the S-300 complex and bringing its characteristics to the level of the S-400 air defense system, according to some it even surpasses the S-400. As a result of modernization, the firing range of the Favorit has increased to 200 km, and now the complex is also able to more effectively hit ballistic targets. According to the military, "Favorites" have a high level of automation and speed of work, no more than 30 seconds pass from the detection of an object to its destruction. The S-300PM2 is capable of working on all targets, except for small-sized UAVs; to combat them, the complex is covered by the Pantsir air defense system. The S-300 air defense system consists of a command post with a radar station, launchers and transport-loading vehicles. "Favorite" can work together with the S-400 and the latest S-500 "Prometheus" forming a single system. The deployment time of the complex is 5 minutes.
The Russian Ministry of Defense for the first time showed the work of the newest operational-tactical EW complex Palantin-K in Ukraine. The Palantin complex is 2-3 times superior to the capabilities of the Russian electronic warfare systems of the previous generation. The Russian Palantin-K electronic warfare complex independently detects and disables enemy UAVs, intercepts the signal, and includes interference. The system operates at a distance of more than twenty kilometers, and not with a directed beam, but with a point. This means that the electronic warfare "Palantin" is capable of suppressing communication and Internet sources in enemy positions without violating civilian infrastructure. The exact characteristics of the Palantin-K electronic warfare complex are classified.
The video shows the Russian unified R-149MA1 command and control vehicle designed to provide control and communication at the tactical level in the parking lot or on the move. The communication machine is built on the base - BTR-80 in the back of K1Sh1 and transmits information, including video, via several communication channels at once. The R-149MA1 communication vehicle is capable of conducting all-round surveillance of the battlefield and can create communication networks even in isolation from the main forces. It is also possible to use electronic maps of the area and plot the operational-tactical situation on them with the possibility of its transmission via communication channels. The communication range of the BERRY-149MA1 in the VHF band, up to 25 km in motion and up to 55 km in the parking lot with a mast. In the HF range in the parking lot with a mast up to 350 km, in motion up to 50 km. The crew of the car is 6 people.
The Russian Ministry of Defense showed the work of TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" in Ukraine.
The TOS-1A heavy flamethrower system is rightfully considered one of the deadliest weapons of the Russian army. The weapon is truly terrible as 24 rockets with a caliber of 220 mm. literally burn everything around. The thermobaric mixture of projectiles creates a cloud of explosive mixture and then undermines it. After detonation, the pressure rises sharply and then drops, the pressure drop leads to a guaranteed death of the enemy over an area of up to 40,000 square meters. TOS-1A "Sun" is a 2001 modification of the TOS-1 "Pinocchio" system developed back in 1980. The firing range of the installation is small, only 6 km, so the tactics of use, quick access to positions, strike and retreat from the front line. The shooting accuracy of "Solntsepek" is up to 10 meters. Readiness to open fire on a target from the moment the vehicle stops - 90 seconds. The crew of the car consists of three people. The installation was created on the basis of the T-72A tank and is equipped with a V-84MS diesel engine with an 840 horsepower. With. The speed on the highway is 60 km / h, the range is 550 km. In March 2020, Russia introduced a new missile for the TOS-1A with a range of 10 km.

The air defense crew of the Russian Osa air defense system 9K33M3 spoke about his combat work in Ukraine. The interview is quite interesting, as their combat service in Ukraine is described simply and in detail. The 9A33BM3 combat vehicle, very old, developed in the eighties, despite this, the air defense system consistently hits the UAVs of the Ukrainian army at a distance of up to 10 km and an altitude of 5000 meters. The Osa air defense system in Iraq was a priority target for US special forces, as it confidently hit Tomahawk cruise missiles. The development of the Osa air defense system began in 1960. The complex was designed to hit targets flying at an altitude of 50-100 to 5000 meters at a speed of up to 500 meters per second at a distance of 800 to 10,000 meters. The Osa air defense system has been modernized many times. The developers were tasked with developing an autonomous complex with placement on one floating self-propelled chassis not only of all military equipment, including a launcher with missiles and radar stations, but also of control, navigation, topographic referencing, communications, and power supplies. The new requirements also included the detection of air targets in motion with further destruction of their fire during short stops. The weight of the Osa anti-aircraft guided missile is 65 kilograms, which allows two servicemen to manually charge the launcher. The main purpose of the Osa air defense system is to cover troops from low-flying targets.
