The Russian public organization "Veche" presented a homemade military field transporter "Stalker". Prototypes of the conveyor have already been created and are being tested. The military transporter was created by one of the industrial enterprises, which created it according to the technical specifications of the Veche organization. As you know, there is now a shortage of such vehicles in the Russian army, which is why the Ministry of Defense purchased similar Chinese-made equipment. The Stalker transporter can be equipped with a cabin or an awning and is designed to transport cargo, ammunition and soldiers at the forefront of military action. The Stalker transporter is equipped with a 35 hp gasoline engine. with a fuel consumption of 4 liters per hour. The machine is built on a supporting frame and can be equipped with an electric winch. The mass of the military transporter is 500 kilograms, the cargo transported is up to 500 kilograms, which is almost the same as its Chinese counterpart. The Stalker transporter has all-wheel drive and can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour.

Loading the Russian Avangard intercontinental missile into the silo. Russian strategic troops continue to rearm with Avangard intercontinental ballistic missiles. Previously, we talked about the Avangard intercontinental ballistic missile with a hypersonic warhead; the link to the video is in the comments to the video. The video shows the loading of a rocket into the silo of the Yasnensky missile compound using a hydraulic transport and loading unit. The operation is technologically complex and lasts several hours. When attacking, the Avangard hypersonic warhead glides through the atmosphere at a speed of 9 and a half kilometers per second. The warhead of the Avangard complex is controllable and maneuvers independently. At the moment, no missile defense systems capable of intercepting it have been created.
Footage of exercises, Russian pontoon-ferry units and the creation of a river crossing using the PP-2005 pontoon-bridge fleet have been published. The pontoon fleet of PP-2005 vehicles is designed for the construction and maintenance of bridges and ferry crossings. If you are interested in the work of the Russian engineering troops, the link to the video in the comments of the video shows the installation of a bridge using a Russian TMM-3M2 machine. The Russian pontoon fleet PP-91M entered service in 2008 and uses the KamAZ-63501 chassis. In 2013, the PP-2005M pontoon fleet was put into service. In the USSR there were four manufacturers of pontoon vehicles of the PMP type, considered the best in the world, but now only one company, Okskaya Shipyard, operates in Russia.

The pontoon fleet of PP-2005 machines allows you to create a bridge crossing with a carrying capacity of up to 120 tons and a ferry crossing with a carrying capacity of up to 190 tons. The maximum length of the bridge from the vehicle park kit is up to 284 meters, creation time is up to 40 minutes. All elements of the pontoon complex are transported on 42 KamAZ-63501 and URAL 53236 vehicles.
Rostec is considering the option of creating robotic platforms based on the Russian MLRS "Smerch" and "Tornado-S", work in this direction is already underway. This was stated by the industrial director of the complex of conventional weapons, ammunition and special chemicals of the state corporation Bekhan Ozdoev. Unfortunately, it is not known what exactly will change, whether the MLRS will arrive at positions themselves and work autonomously, or whether the level of automation of the MLRS will simply increase. Now the 300 mm Smerch MLRS is the most powerful and long-range Russian MLRS, capable of striking at a range of up to 120 km, and with new missiles being developed up to 200 km.
