A few days ago, the Ukrainian military shot down an experimental Russian drone "Merlin-VR". The drone came to volunteer Pavel Kashchuk, who took it apart and demonstrated what technological progress looks like in Russian.

The Russian military used the latest Izdeliye-305E missile in Ukraine. On the published footage, you can see how the rocket flies up to the window of the building. The Russian Izdelie-305E air-to-surface missile is designed to equip modernized versions of Russian Ka-52M and Mi-28NM helicopters and some aircraft. The 305E missile can be used at a range of up to 14.5 kilometers, so it surpasses the American AGM-114 "Hellfire" missile, which has a range of no more than 10 km. The missile has a high-precision inertial on-board navigation system and is equipped with a homing head, it implements the "fire and forget" principle. Rocket weight 105 kg, length 1945 mm, body diameter 200mm.

Interesting, to me as a layman that looks professional. The Lynred chip was perhaps picked for being "robust mil spec" there are higher resolution chips (but likely not so infrared sensitive) available of any number of sites but this may be a good choice. It's quite large for it's resolution, meaning big pixels meaning each pixel gets more light, maybe getting better low light performance. I thought the nicely machined housing might be cooled but there's some adaptor PCB on the back of it.

Never let the truth get in the way of BS seems to be the agreed upon consensus.

Greetings from Putin's penthouse.

There were shots of the combat work of the Russian T-90M tank Breakthrough in Ukraine. The video shows the destruction of Ukrainian equipment through the video screen of the viewing device of the Kalina fire control complex. Russian digital fire control complex "Kalina", developed for some modifications of the T-90 tank. The complex combines into a tactical combat information and control system, a commander's panoramic sight with an integrated ballistic computer, a gunner's multispectral sight and firing conditions sensors.

The Russian militia conducted real tests in Ukraine of the Russian gun against LPD-801 drones from the PPSh Laboratory company. Judging by the results, the anti-drone gun really works on most popular commercial drones. The gun suppresses communication channels and data transmission from the UAV, and also suppresses navigation channels. The effective range of suppressing drones is up to 1 km, the gun is on sale, the cost at the moment is $ 19,500.

For the first time, the work of the new Russian robotic demining vehicle "Prokhod-1" in combat conditions is shown. The complex completed state tests back in 2016, but since then there has been no news about it. The sapper robot "Prohod-1" was created on the basis of the BMR-3MA and it uses enhanced mine protection, you can also see a large number of dynamic protection elements on the vehicle's body. The robot for demining is equipped with many antennas, this is done in order to jam the control signals of radio-controlled mines. The Prokhod-1 complex is capable of operating in three modes: under the control of a crew of 2 people, remotely under the control of an operator with a command post based on KAMAZ, and in automatic mode with predetermined movement parameters. The robot creates passages in minefields 4.5 meters wide in combat conditions, even under enemy fire, and is equipped with a new TMT-S trawl to neutralize contact mines, as well as cutters that cut the wires of remote-controlled land mines.

Russia has begun using the new Lastochka-M attack drones in Ukraine. There is no information on the new UAV. It is assumed that the drone "Swallow" is an analogue of the Skylark-1 LE made in Israel. It is only known that the "Swallows" in the course of combat use fragmentation and cumulative ammunition and they were struck by armored vehicles and manpower of the enemy. The drone is launched from a catapult and lands on an airbag. The UAV drops small-caliber ammunition adapted for use from the air. If we assume that this is a modernization of the Israeli Skylark-1 drone, then the characteristics of the Lastochka UAV will be something like this. Take-off weight 7.5 kg, payload 1.2 kg, operating time up to 3 hours, flight distance up to 40 km, application altitude up to 5000 meters. The drone uses 43 mm grenades adapted for air strikes.
