Rare footage of a Russian Ka-52 helicopter intercepting a Ukrainian PD-2 drone has been published. The video was filmed in Russia's Kaluga Region. The PD-2 kamikaze drone was developed by the Ukrainian company UkrSpecSystems in 2019. The Ka-52M helicopter launched an Igla-B air-to-air missile from the Strelets onboard complex. The Igla-B missile is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 7,500 meters, depending on the missile's launch altitude.
An episode of the battle in Ukraine, the fifth brigade of the 51st army of Russia, with the participation of a Ukrainian T-64 tank, in the area of the village of Kurakhovo. In the video, Russian units approach Kurakhovo, the approaches are blocked by a Ukrainian defense line consisting of concrete tetrahedrons and steel wire. To overcome the anti-tank line, Russian units concentrate tank and artillery fire, destroying the defense line in one place. Noticing this, Ukrainian units make an unconventional decision and send a T-64 tank to close the passage in the defense line.
After that, Ukrainian soldiers abandon the tank and go into the forest belt, where they die under the blows of Russian drones, the episode was removed from the video.
Seeing that the passage in the defense line is blocked by a tank, Russian units send two of their soldiers to the tank, who free the passage. After which they steal the T-64 tank in the direction of Russian units. Further, it is officially reported that the T-64 tank is returning to the defense line. But the video already shows another tank. Russian units bring up another tank, after which the tank crew directs the tank towards the Ukrainian army position. After this, the Russian tank crew leaves the combat vehicle. The video shows how one of the Russian servicemen injured his leg on the barbed wire. Presumably, the other tank was used to create a passage in the minefield or to divert Ukrainian artillery fire.

The video shows attacks by a homemade Russian ground drone-kamikaze "Mole" in Ukraine. The kamikaze drone "Mole" is used by the 14th separate guards order of Kutuzov special forces brigade of the armed forces of Russia. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian army also uses ground drones. The robotic platform "Mole" is used as a ground drone kamikaze, it is usually sent to dugouts and strongholds of the Ukrainian army. Technical information on the platform "Mole" has not yet been found. It is known that the wheeled drones have electric traction, and as a warhead they use anti-tank mines TM-62M, up to six pieces. The ground drone is guided to the target using a drone, its communication channel is protected.
The Russian army has once again begun using the UR-77 Meteorite self-propelled mine-clearing rocket launchers to attack Ukrainian army positions. The UR-77 operates on the following principle: a hose with a large amount of explosives is fired at a range of about 500 meters, after which an explosion occurs, and the mines detonate from the shock wave. This creates safe corridors for the passage of infantry. The installation is used mainly in forests. In this case, the UR-77 is used not for mine clearance, but for attacks. Unofficially, the UR-77 is called the Serpent Gorynych. The UR-77 is also used by the Ukrainian army.
New footage of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable. In the video, the kamikaze drone "Vandal" attacks a Ukrainian column of armored vehicles in the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region of Russia. The column consists of three BMP-2 and moves in foggy conditions, hoping that it will not be detected. The kamikaze drone "Vandal" attacked a Soviet-made BMP-2, judging by the video, the BMP-2 had already been damaged by another drone. As a result of the drone strike, a fire started in the BMP-2, which completely destroyed the combat vehicle. The video shows attacks on two BMP-2s, one has a mesh "barbecue", the other is iron. All three BMP-2s were destroyed. What happened to the BMP crews is unknown.
