Russian high-precision projectiles Krasnopol-M are shown. The Russian Ministry of Defense officially announced the use of modernized Krasnopol-M high-precision projectiles. The 3OF39M projectile was seen on video while loading it into the Msta-S self-propelled guns. In the Krasnopol-M projectile, in order to achieve the maximum firing range, instead of an accelerating engine, a bottom gas generator was used; it is made in a monoblock version, which made it possible to reduce the length of the projectile. The number of retractable projectile stabilizers has been increased to 6 pieces. The Krasnopol projectile is designed to hit targets from the first shot at a distance of up to 26 km. The projectile has a higher probability of hitting the target up to 90%, in contrast to the basic Krasnopol 3OF39 projectiles, where the probability of hitting up to 80%. Projectile flight correction is carried out by aerodynamic rudders in the final flight segment according to the laser mark on the target.

Russian soldiers began to use the Drozd drone detector. Russian military personnel began to use the Drozd drone detector. The Russian drone detector "Drozd" is a fairly simple device, it does not have a signal frequency indication scale level and instead emits an audible signal, the tone of which varies with the strength of the signal. When the drone detector is activated, the soldier simply points it in the direction of the suspected location of the drones and captures the sound signals of the device. After detecting the direction of the radiation source, devices against drones begin to work in this direction. It is worth noting that the drone detector is affected by the radiation of WI-FI routers and other active devices, so it is better to use it away from populated areas. The device captures analog and digital video transmission signals, radio remote controls at frequencies of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz.
The signal reception distance is up to 3 km, the capture angle is 120 degrees in line-of-sight conditions, the continuous operation time is 33 hours. Drozd drone detector is available for sale, the price of the device is 25,000 rubles or $275.
