Installation of missiles in the self-propelled ATGM Shturm-S of Russia. During the training of Russian military personnel at the training ground, footage of loading and firing missiles of the Shturm-S self-propelled anti-tank system was published. The 9P149 combat vehicle uses 12 ATGMs, which can be equipped with a high-explosive, cumulative or rod warhead. The missiles of the Shturm-S complex are located in a rotating drum, the weight of the missile in the transport container is 46.5 kg. The complex allows you to fire at targets moving at a frontal speed of 80 km / h and with a flank speed of up to 60 km / h, with a rate of fire of 4 rounds per minute. The complex worked well in Afghanistan and Chechnya, at a maximum range of 5000 meters it hit targets meter by meter in size.

Russian Fighter Pilots Are Trying to Draw American Jets Into Dogfights Over Syria
Russia, frustrated by American support for Ukraine, is taking a more belligerent tone. But it could stumble into a major crisis.
Russian pilots have engaged in increasingly dangerous and provocative behavior over Syria. That’s the charge from U.S. Central Command, which states that Russian fighter jets have tried to gall their American counterparts into an international incident. The activity is particularly dangerous as bumbling Russian Pilots have nearly triggered such incidents in the past through their own mistakes.
“Unsafe and Unprofessional”
According to Task & Purpose, Russian forces have “violated deconfliction protocols with Coalition forces almost 100 times in two months.” Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, head of U.S. Air Forces Central Command, stated that Russian aircrews have conducted “armed overflights of ground forces in Syria 26 times, flying within 500 feet of U.S. aircraft, and in the last week, jamming U.S. aircraft electromagnetic systems.”
These incidents included an April 2 encounter in which a Russian Su-35 “Flanker-E” multi-role fighter conducted an “unsafe and unprofessional” intercept of a U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter, and an April 18 encounter when a Russian fighter “violated coalition airspace and came within 2,000 feet of a U.S. aircraft, a distance a fighter jet can cover in a matter of seconds.”
U.S. forces deployed to Syria in the late 2010s to lead a coalition that opposed the Islamic State. This put them in proximity to Russian forces propping up Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. While both countries are theoretically on the same side, the Coalition of Western countries is not friendly to the al-Assad regime, and Russian forces consider the Coalition presence an intrusion into Moscow’s sphere of influence. In 2018, a battle between U.S. forces, the Russian mercenary group Wagner, and Russian-backed Syrian forces killed up to 300 Syrians and mercenaries compared to zero U.S. losses.

In Russia, they begin to modernize missiles for MLRS. For the first time, part of the elements from missiles for Russian multiple rocket launcher is planned to be replaced from metal to polymer. Modernization will make it possible to reduce the cost and speed up the production of missiles, make the hull lighter, and the missiles will become more long-range while maintaining the same dimensions. Which MLRS missiles will be upgraded has not yet been reported. Most likely, missiles for the TornadoS MARS, Uragan MRS and Smerch MRLS will be upgraded.
In Russia, they began to produce sniper cartridges 10.3x77 millimeters Cheytac.

The use of digital electronic maps significantly accelerated orientation on the ground and increased the speed of deploying the gun in position by 2 times. Thanks to the modernization of the self-propelled guns, the Msta-SM2 can easily be aimed at targets that receive data from the UAV. The new automatic fire control system increased the guidance speed by 1.5 times. The self-propelled guns now have the "simultaneous fire attack" function, when several self-propelled guns fire at once from different positions. SAU 2S33 is equipped with a 2A65 152-mm gun. The howitzer is equipped with a programmable loading system and can fire high-explosive fragmentation, active-rocket jammers, as well as Krasnopol high-precision guided munitions at a distance of up to 29 km.
