Russia is preparing a modernized T-90M Proryv tank.

Despite the fairly good protection of the T-90M Proryv tanks and their low losses from anti-tank mines and ATGMs, the T-90M tank continues to be modernized. In the 2024 version of the T-90M tank, there will be new protection on the turret and other upper parts of the tank from attacks from FPV drones. New coating and mesh will be installed on and around the tower to prevent internal shrapnel damage. The main innovation is the strengthening of the frontal armor with new dynamic protection units, which are thicker. Thanks to the new protection, tanks will be able to participate in frontal attacks with fewer losses. Changes will also be made to the fire control system, thermal imaging cameras, night vision cameras, and rangefinder. There are no details on these systems. The aiming systems and various suspension and engine parts will also change. It is reported that a pilot batch of 36 tanks is already being tested. Whether all this will go into series is still unknown.

 
Meanwhile the Regime spins the lie that the Russian military as been substantially degraded....the entire world almost knows that this is a lie....which generaly makes them sad...they once had respect for America.

Them days are long gone.

Buckle Up!
 
Russian troops received the first kamikaze Scalpel drones, this is the first video with real drones. It is believed that the Scalpel kamikaze drone was created as a cheap analogue of the Lancet drones. The kamikaze drone "Scalpel" can accelerate to 120 km/h, and its flight range using a command-telemetry channel is up to 40 km. The payload weight is up to 5 kilograms; the peculiarity of the drone is that the warhead of the drone can be changed before takeoff. The elemental part of the Scalpel drone is partially imported.

 
Russian R-33 missiles of Mig-31 aircraft. Footage of the Russian Mig-31BM aircraft preparing for takeoff, armed with R-33 air-to-air missiles, has been published. The R-33 missile entered service in 1981 in response to the appearance in the United States of the AIM-54 Phoenix missiles used by F-14 aircraft. Unlike American missiles that cost about a million dollars, the Russian missile turned out to be cheaper and is still in use today. The missile is designed for interception and air targets, at a distance of up to 160 km and altitudes from 25 meters to 28 kilometers. The R-33 missile has inertial control and semi-active radar homing during the final flight phase. The MiG-31 is equipped with an on-board radar with a phased array antenna, capable of simultaneously guiding 4 such missiles at 4 targets flying at different altitudes. On August 28, 1978, for the first time in the world, a flight experiment took place, with four R-33 missiles, a MiG-31 aircraft, with the Zaslon weapons control system, the missiles hit 4 targets simultaneously. The weight of the rocket is 490 kilograms, the weight of the warhead is 49 kilograms.

 
Footage of the impact of Ukrainian Storm Shadow missiles, Anglo-French production, on the Russian small missile ship Askold of Project 22800 has been published. The ship was located at the Zaliv shipyard in Kerch. Some of the missiles were launched by Ukrainian Su-24M aircraft from the Dnepropetrovsk and Zaporozhye regions; there were supposedly up to 16 of them in total. The missiles approached the target from different directions, maneuvering, changing routes and altitudes. Officially, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that air defense shot down 13 out of 15 missiles over Kerch, which can be assessed as a good result for air defense. It is known that six missiles were shot down 50 km north of the Crimean Bridge and over Kerch. One missile was shot down over the Zaliv plant. Apparently the missiles also targeted the Crimean Bridge. According to the video, three missiles hit a pier next to the ship, causing significant damage to the ship.

 
Footage of the use in Ukraine of the Russian missile and bomb complex "Grom" has been published. The complex is produced by the Tactical Missiles Corporation; we previously showed this military plant. At the moment, there is not a single video with real missiles and bombs of the "Grom" complex. It is known that the missile system is guided by GPS, it is based on the Kh-38 multi-purpose missile and can hit targets at a distance of up to 120 km. The complex is used from Su-34 and Mig-35 aircraft, as well as from the S-70 Okhotnik UAV. The mass of the missile warhead is from 315 to 480 kilograms. The video shows a missile from the Grom complex hitting a temporary residence of Ukrainian military personnel.

 
The use of Russian Motiv-3M ammunition in Ukraine. A short episode of the use of Russian Motiv-3M combat elements in Ukraine has been published. Motiv-3M self-aiming combat elements are installed in Smerch MLRS, Tornado-S MLRS rockets, RBK-500 aerial bombs, PBK-500U bombs and other weapons. The operating principle of the Motiv-3M element is as follows: when a rocket or bomb explodes over a target, the Motiv-3M combat elements are scattered in the air. Descending by parachute, the combat element equipped with an infrared sensor scans the area in search of heat signatures; when a target is detected, the charge is activated from a height of about 150 meters. The cumulative charge of the Motiv-3M combat element is capable of penetrating armor up to 110 mm thick.

 
The Russian army has adopted the Desertcross 1000-3 buggy made in China. The purchases are quite large; 537 Desertcross 1000-3 all-terrain vehicles have already been purchased and are in combat units; it is planned to purchase another 1,500 of these all-terrain vehicles in the near future. The AODES all-terrain vehicle is designed for conducting patrol and reconnaissance operations; it can also be used as a raid vehicle and an all-terrain vehicle for search and rescue units. As the Russian Minister of Defense explained, the all-terrain vehicle is in great demand among the troops. The all-terrain vehicle has been modified for use in Russian winter conditions. All-terrain vehicles Desertcross 1000–3 weighing 1050 kg are equipped with an 87 hp engine. and have a load capacity of 550 kg. The AODES buggy can carry 3 people. The price of the Desertcross 1000–3 buggy in the basic configuration is 1,600,000 rubles or 17 thousand dollars.

 
Ukrainian naval drones attacked Russian Serna landing boats. Footage of an attack by Ukrainian naval kamikaze drones on Russian landing boats of Project 11770 “Serna” has been published. According to Ukrainian media, the drone attack took place tonight in the waters of Crimea. It is not reported where the boats of the Serna project were located. The quality of the video is quite poor, but judging by the footage, one of the boats was definitely damaged by a Ukrainian drone strike. There are no details about the attack yet, and the model of the Ukrainian drone used is unknown. Landing boats of Project 11770 “Serna” began to be produced in 1993; the boat is equipped with a water-jet propulsion system and is capable of transporting a tank, 92 troops or two infantry fighting vehicles. Now Russia has 16 such boats.

 
Russian Su-57 fighters have been equipped with new compact cruise missiles located inside the fuselage; at the moment there are no video footage of the new missiles. Presumably the missile was created on the basis of the Kh-101 and Kh-102 cruise missiles, which are used on the Tu-95MS and Tu-160 strategic bombers. The estimated range of hitting targets with these missiles is from 1000 to 3500 kilometers, the missiles are guided inertially and by satellite. Many people immediately wonder how these missiles can be placed inside the Su-57 fuselage. According to the developers, a significant reduction in the dimensions of the new missile was achieved due to the perfectly refined design of the folding wing and internal layout, as well as the use of a new small-sized bypass turbojet engine. Equipping the Su-57 with cruise missiles effectively turns the aircraft into a stealth strategic bomber that is difficult to track. According to Western experts, NATO has already assessed the new threat and is developing a set of measures to counter it.

 
The day Putin is reported dead is the day I'll celebrate with a bottle of Stoly in honor of the Russians who made it happen. :thup:

The collapse of the Ukrainian military, the loss of the ability and the will to fight, is here. Russia will now take Odessa and a few other cities it has said for a year that it will take and see if the West is finally ready to end this diplomatically.

After saying that about 100 times, don't you think you should reconsider your certainty?
