Footage of a head-on battle in Girya, Kursk Oblast, between a Ukrainian armored personnel carrier BTR-4E and a Russian armored personnel carrier BTR-82A. Both combat vehicles are armed with 30-mm 2A72 cannons. In general, the combat vehicles are approximately equal, but the Russian BTR-82A opened fire first, which decided the outcome of the battle, the BTR-4 caught fire. It is worth noting that, according to all the facts of the use of equipment in battles in Ukraine that have been shown over the past 2 years, it was important who first noticed the enemy, this decides the outcome of the battle.
We publish another version of the homemade protection "Tsar-mangal" installed on the Russian tank T-72B3M. This type of protection most effectively protects the tank from FPV drones, but limits the crew's view and allows the tank to be used only as a self-propelled artillery unit. At the moment, no one in the world has come up with effective protection from FPV drones. Usually, such tanks are used as lead vehicles in a column of tanks, and the lack of visibility is compensated for by information received from drones. Tanks with such protection are also equipped with anti-mine trawls, but in this case it is not there. In addition to the homemade metal structure, the T-72B3M tank is equipped with dynamic protection "Contact-5" and "Contact-1".
The new FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" controlled via fiber optic cable has begun to be used by the Russian army in the Kursk region. The Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" was developed by the Novgorod Scientific and Production Center "Ushkuynik", the manufacturer did not provide technical details and photos of the drone.
As reported, the drone was used in the Kursk region to attack Ukrainian armored vehicles about seven times. Control of the drone "Vandal" via fiber optic cable provides complete invulnerability from electronic warfare equipment, and you can also see excellent image quality. The disadvantages of this method of controlling the drone include limitations on range and flight routes and a higher price for the drone.
An FPV drone armed with an AK-47 assault rifle was shown in Ukraine. An experimental FPV drone was shown by the Ukrainian group "Wild Hornets" that assembles FPV drones. The model of the FPV drone and technical details are not reported. Despite the fact that the FPV drone cannot fully accurately aim the weapon, at close range, which often happens, it can keep a person under control. It is unknown. Whether this development will be further developed, but drones with an ATGM and a shotgun are already being tested
An episode of the battle, the Russian BMP-3 of the "Anvar" detachment, with the Ukrainian BMP-2 and armored group in the Kursk region of Russia in the village of Russkaya Konopelka. This battle caused heated discussions on the network, due to the fact that the BMP-2 shown in the video was considered Russian. At first glance, it looks like this, the Ukrainian tactical sign of a triangle, for an unknown reason was not finished and it began to look like a Russian sign with the letter "V". But later the situation became clear when the Ukrainian media UNIAN confirmed that the BMP-2 with this sign was Ukrainian. Despite this, many questions remained about the battle, why the BMP-3 did not hit the Ukrainian M-113 armored personnel carrier from close range, perhaps it was shooting at another target located far away. The result of the battle, three Ukrainian combat vehicles "Kozak", BMP-2 were destroyed, some of them presumably by drones, there are also reports about the M-113 armored personnel carrier, but it was not shown in the video anymore. The video has been shortened, the dead soldiers have been cut out. Technical information about the equipment is on the channel.
Footage of the testing of the Ukrainian jet drone "Palyanytsya". The drone "Palyanytsya" can be called a rocket drone, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky reported on its testing. According to him, the missile program of Ukraine includes a cluster called "Palyanytsya". Within its framework, three products are being developed, one of them is the drone "Palyanytsya". This rocket drone is much faster than Ukrainian long-range drones, it is already in use, he also noted. Technical data on the drone is not reported, the drone is equipped with a simple turbojet engine
Footage of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-51" striking a Ukrainian T-64BV tank. The video was filmed on August 11 in the village of Cherkasskoye Porechny, Kursk region of Russia. The video is unique in that the drone strike was filmed by the Ukrainian and Russian armies simultaneously. At first glance, the Ukrainian T-64BV tank withstood the drone strike, apparently due to the tank's net protection, but after moving forward, it stopped and a fire started inside. It is unknown whether the crew managed to leave the tank, but as a result of the fire and detonation of ammunition, the tank was completely destroyed.
Ukrainian FPV drones have started using incendiary mixtures, the first data about them appeared on August 18 on the Soledar front line. It is unknown what models of drones and what suspension for spraying the mixture are used. Initially, it was assumed that a substance similar to napalm was sprayed, but at the moment, the composition of the incendiary mixture is not reported. It is known that the flammable mixture is difficult to extinguish.
An episode of combat work by a Russian crew of an M-46 130mm artillery gun in the Kursk region of Russia. The gun's fire is adjusted by reconnaissance aircraft from a UAV. The M-46 gun's firing range is up to 37 kilometers
Footage of a strike by a Russian FPV drone VT-40 Sudoplatov on a Ukrainian M577 command vehicle. The video was filmed in the Kursk region of Russia. The M577 command vehicle was developed in the United States in 1962 on the basis of the American-made M113 armored personnel carrier. The M577 is armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun and is designed to control troops at the operational-tactical level and can also be used to transport the wounded. Judging by the force of the explosion, in this case the Ukrainian M577 command vehicle was used to deliver ammunition and personnel.
Clear footage of the Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system intercepting a Ukrainian 277mm M31A1 guided rocket, and a US-made HIMARS MLRS has been released. The video of the interception of the M142 HIMARS MLRS rocket was filmed in the Kursk region of Russia. The M31A1 rocket is a difficult target for air defense, since the RCS of the M31A1 projectile is presumably about 0.07 square meters, and it also has a high flight speed. The air defense crew must make a decision and intercept the target within a short period of time. The M31A1 HIMARS MLRS rocket was detected at a range of about 10 km and shot down at a range of 6,200 meters. Two 57E6 Pantsir-S1 air defense missiles were needed to intercept the target.
Footage of Russian missile strikes on September 4 in the area of the Lviv railway station in Ukraine. Presumably, 5 X-101 cruise missiles and Geranium drones were used in the strike. Strikes were also carried out on other objects in the city. Presumably, there were trains with military equipment and machinery at the station, but there is currently no footage from the station. As a result of the strikes, two people were killed and 23 were injured.

An episode of testing of a new FPV drone armed with the Soviet RPG-18 Mukha grenade launcher has been published in Ukraine. Technical details and who is testing the drone are not reported. Judging by the characteristics of the RPG-18, the drone will be able to hit targets at a distance of up to 200 meters. Taking into account the weight of the grenade launcher, the flight time of such a drone will be about 10 minutes. For aimed shooting, the drone will have to fly close to the target. The RPG-18 can penetrate armor up to 300 mm thick.
An episode of an attempt to break through a Ukrainian armored group, into the territory of the Kursk region of Russia, in the Glushkovsky district. To overcome anti-tank obstacles, an IMR-2 engineering vehicle of Soviet manufacture is used. The main purpose of the IMR-2: creating column routes in difficult-to-pass places for the advancement of troops, the Soviet army began using the IMR-2 in 1982. Now it is used by Russia and Ukraine. The advance of the Ukrainian armored group was stopped, the video shows the explosion of one of the IMR-2 engineering vehicles of the group.
Episode of the march throw of the Russian armored group, storming the mine "Yuzhnodonbasskaya №3", this is the Ukrainian division of the Ukrainian army on the Ugledarsky direction.

The group broke through, but one of the BMPs hit a mine, the crew abandoned the combat vehicle. During the march throw, the group was worked by Ukrainian long-range artillery from the Bogatyr area.
An episode of the evacuation of a Russian tank, presumably a T-55A, near the village of Vodyanoy. It is unknown what kind of combat vehicle is conducting the evacuation. It is possible that it is also a T-55 tank with a dismantled gun, or a VT-55A tracked tractor created on the basis of a T-55 tank. At the time of the evacuation, Ukrainian artillery is actively working. The evacuation of equipment was carried out by a Russian serviceman with the call sign "Petrovich", as reported, he has carried out about 30 evacuations of damaged equipment.
