The Russian army began to actively use the 1L260 Zoopark-1M counter-battery radar, which was put into service in the 2000s. The self-propelled radar station 1L261 is located on the GM-5955 vehicle and has a crew of three. The exact characteristics of target detection are not yet known. Approximate target detection range: a mortar with a caliber of up to 120mm - 18-22 km, a cannon with a caliber of 105mm to 155 mm - 15-20 km, a rocket launcher from 122 mm to 240 mm - 25-35 km, tactical missiles - 40-45 km. According to previously published data, the 1L261 station is capable of determining the firing position of artillery with an error of up to 40 m. When calculating the launch point for multiple rocket launchers, the error is 55 m, the launch point for ballistic missiles is 90 m. The number of simultaneously tracked targets is 12. The time of continuous operation of the radar 8 o'clock.


Mass production of the remote mining machine "Agriculture" has begun in Russia. We have previously shown its combat use. The machine of the engineering remote mining system "Agriculture" was developed by the Tula NPO "Splav" - the developer of all our MLRS. A four-axle KAMAZ-6560 vehicle is used as the chassis of the combat vehicle. The operation of this installation is similar to the operation of the Grad MLRS. The difference is that instead of the warhead, solid-propellant rockets with a caliber of 122 mm are installed. The estimated range of "Agriculture" is from 5 to 15 km. The missiles of the vehicle are placed in transport and launch containers, each consists of two parts of 25 missiles each. The reload time of the missiles is 3 minutes. All calculations in preparation for firing are carried out automatically. the system operator determines the main parameters of the future barrier, including the number of shells and mines in a salvo.The combat vehicle is equipped with a satellite navigation system and a computer, as well as a weather station.After the installation of mines, this area is plotted on an electronic map, demining does not need to be done manually, mines can deactivate remotely.The area of mining the installation from one salvo is about 10 football fields.The complex includes two vehicles: the combat vehicle itself and the transport-loader.

Military cooperation between Russia and China has reached a new level. The air group consisting of Tu-95ms strategic missile carriers of the Russian Air Force and Xian H-6K strategic bombers of the Chinese Air Force conducted air patrols over the waters of the Japan and East China Seas. Russian Su-30cm and Su-35s aircraft provided escort for the air group. For the first time in the course of joint air patrols, Russian Tu-95ms aircraft landed at an airfield in the People's Republic of China. Also, Chinese Xian H-6K bombers landed at an airfield in Russia. The landings of the Russian Tu-95s were actively filmed by the inhabitants of China, shots at the end of the video.


Video of the loading and launch of the new Russian anti-missile A-235 of the strategic missile defense system. The rocket was launched at the Sary-Shagan test site. Pay attention to the speed, the rocket leaves instantly from the starting point. A-235 Nudol missiles are designed to intercept warheads of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the missile is also capable of hitting satellites. Over time, the A-235 missile defense system will replace the A-135 Amur complex on combat duty, whose missiles are guided by the Don-2N radar and are the basis of Moscow's strategic missile defense system. The transport and launch container of the missiles is made of fiberglass. Perhaps such a quick launch of the rocket is due to the use of directed explosion technology.

 
The Russian Defense Ministry showed footage of classes with mobilized military personnel. The video shows the Russian BTR-D armored personnel carrier and the Fagot anti-tank system. The BTR-D was created on the basis of the BMD-1 armored vehicle and was supposed to replace it, since the BMD-1 could only carry 5 troops. The machine was put into service in 1974 and is in service with Russia and Ukraine. Unlike many other Soviet vehicles, the BTR-D was not exported. The BTR-D can be armed with two 7.62 mm PKT machine guns, an AGS-17 grenade launcher or a 12.7 mm Kord machine gun, other weapons were also used. The crew of an armored vehicle of 3 people and 10 paratroopers is protected by aluminum armor. The machine was used in Afghanistan and has proven itself well. The range of the armored vehicle is 500 km, the speed along the highway is 60 km/h. On the basis of the BTR-D, a whole family of combat vehicles and combat support vehicles for the Airborne Forces was created.
