Russian servicemen showed the preparation and firing of the Metis ATGM. ATGM 9K115 "Metis" was developed in 1978, the complex, despite its age, is still relevant due to penetration, compactness, light weight, there is not always a need for long-range ATGMs. The complex was repeatedly modernized, its firing range was increased to 2000 meters. In this case, the calculation uses the 9P151 launcher and the 9M115 HEAT missile with a flight range of up to 1000 meters. The armor penetration of the 9M 115 AT GM "Metis" missile is up to 550 mm. The time to bring the complex into combat position is 12 seconds, the rate of fire is up to 4 rounds per minute.

Footage of the launch of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" has been published. There is very little information on the drone, the manufacturer ZALA AERO provides only a minimum of data. Loitering ammunition "Lancet" is available in 3 types. A reduced version of the Lancet-1 drone, the warhead of the drone is high-explosive fragmentation weighing 1 kg, the flight time is 30 minutes at a distance of up to 40 km at a speed of up to 110 km/h, the take-off weight of the drone is 5 kg. The second version is the Lancet-3 drone, it is larger and heavier, the take-off weight of the drone has increased to 12 kg. The warhead of the drone is supplemented with a variant with a shaped charge weighing up to 3 kg. The flight time, depending on the load, already reaches 60 minutes, at a distance of up to 70 km, at a peak speed of up to 300 km / h. The third version of the loitering ammunition, the Lancet-3M drone, an upgraded version that received an X-shaped wing and small X-shaped plumage in the tail. There is no data on this model, as well as on the Lancet-5 and Lancet-10 drones of which information sometimes appears. It is not clear whether the Lancet-3M will replace the Lancet-3 version, or whether they will be released in parallel, one thing is for sure, the drone is constantly being improved. All drone models have an electric motor, and the drone itself is made of plastic and composite materials, which makes it difficult for air defense systems to detect it. The operating altitude of the drone is from 50-500 meters, in practice, as it turned out, it can fly below 50 meters. Drone "Lancet" contains three types of interchangeable guidance systems - coordinate, optoelectronic and combined, there is also a television communication channel that allows the operator to visually aim the drone at the target. The UAV can be equipped with a laser target designator, a target search sensor, a gas analyzer and a radiometer. The drone can operate in the “aerial mining” mode, which means patrolling the airspace and destroying other UAVs; there are no shots of its operation in this mode yet. You can see a lot of shots of the combat work of the drone "Lancet" on our channel and also by the link in the comments to the video.

The Russian frigate "Admiral Gorshkov" of project 22350, which is now on a long voyage in the Indian Ocean, conducted exercises to search for submarines. The Ka-27PL helicopter was involved in the exercises. The pilots carried out a set of measures for visual, radar and magnetometric search for submarines using standard radio equipment and the VGS-3 Ros-V onboard sonar station, as well as setting up barriers from hydroacoustic buoys. It takes about 30 seconds for the VGS-3 hydroacoustic station to perform a circular survey in the noise direction finding mode.

The footage of the work of the new Russian Serb-VS 5 anti-drone complex has been published, this complex is an improved version of the Serp-VS complex. The Serp-VS5 complex is designed for a range of up to 5 kilometers. The complex operates in five frequency bands - from 900 MHz to 5.8 GHz. This allows you to use it not only against civilians, but also against special aircraft. The system suppresses GPS, GLONASS, Beidou signals, and also breaks drone control over Wi-Fi. The complex "sees" UAV-violators in the sector of 360 degrees along the horizontal axis. A feature of the complex is the function of dividing the viewing angle into sectors, which allows you to use your UAVs while the complex is working on intruder drones. The Serp-VS anti-drone complex works well on "complex" objects with a complex perimeter of the protected area.

Russian MTs-566 sniper rifle. Footage of the work of Russian snipers in Ukraine. The calculation uses the Russian MTs-566 sniper rifle with a caliber of 7.62 mm. The MTs-566 self-loading rifle was developed by the Tula Central Design Bureau and has 10 magazines. An interesting feature of the rifle is the ability of the shooter to change its barrel to a different caliber; to change it, it is enough to loosen a few screws and then the barrel can be easily removed from the receiver. In the tests carried out, the rifle showed good results. The effective range of the rifle is 1000 meters, the weight is 5 kilograms. The price of a rifle in small-scale production is about $ 6,000.

Test footage of the prototype of the Russian kamikaze drone "Privet-82" has been published. The kamikaze UAV was developed by the novice Oko design bureau. The main project of the bureau is now the ultra-cheap Privet-82 UAV, within the framework of this project, the concept of using the Podkhvat drones has been developed. Let's explain in a simple way, soldiers on the front line do not always have drones, and it’s impossible to carry a lot of them, so drone launch pads are located in the rear at a distance of about 20 km, which serve several units on the front line. If a soldier on the front line notices an enemy, a drone is called from the rear, which flies to the front line in radio silence. On approaching the front line, the drone control is picked up by the operator, video transmission is turned on and the operator directs the drone to the target. The advantages of this solution are that soldiers do not need to carry a lot of UAVs and catapults with them to launch them, drones are used where they are needed in unlimited quantities. Drones will be controlled through repeaters, thanks to which the drone can fly very low above the ground and is difficult to intercept. The flight range of the current kamikaze UAV prototype has already reached 30 kilometers, while the payload is from 3 to 4 kilograms, and 5.5 kilograms are already being tested. The Bureau is also developing the "Privet 120" UAV with a payload of 20 kilograms. Small-scale production of the Privet-82 UAV has already been launched, 33 drones have been produced, but the designers need funding.

Footage of Russian snipers training using the Russian 12.7mm ASVK sniper rifle has been released. ""Large-caliber Army Sniper Rifle" or ASK for short, was developed by JSC "Plant named after V. A. Degtyarev" and put into service in 2004. The rifle is designed to destroy lightly armored vehicles and equipment at a distance of up to 1000 meters, as well as enemy manpower at a distance of up to 1500 meters. In the video, a Russian sniper fires from it at a BRDM armored vehicle. The 6V 7 rifle is equipped with a 1P71 optical sight and a 1PN111 night sight. The rifle as a whole corresponds to the characteristics of foreign counterparts, but according to snipers, its optics still need to be improved. The rifle weighs 12.5 kilograms and has a 5-round magazine. The comments to the video show an example of the work of a sniper with an ASVK rifle in Mariupol.

Overview of the Russian MANPADS "Igla-S".

Footage of the work of Russian military personnel with the Igla MANPADS has been published. The third-generation complex entered service with the Russian army in 1981, and since 1994 it has been exported to more than 30 countries around the world. MANPADS "Igla" has been repeatedly modernized, the most modern version of the complex is MANPADS "Igla-S". In addition to aircraft and helicopters, the 9K338 complex can also be used to destroy cruise missiles and UAVs flying at speeds below 1600 kilometers per hour. MANPADS uses a new 9M342 missile weighing 11.7 kg, with a 2.5-kg high-explosive fragmentation warhead. In the optical homing head of missiles, two photodetectors are used, which provide better selection of thermal noise. To achieve the maximum effect of defeat, the rocket is configured to hit not in the engine nozzle, but in the central part of the target. The probability of hitting a fighter-class target with a single missile is 80 to 90%. MANPADS "Igla" was used in all wars and has proven itself well. The complex is capable of hitting targets at ranges up to 6,000 meters and altitudes up to 3,500 meters. The mass of MANPADS in the combat position is 17 kg, the readiness time is 12 seconds. The price of the Igla-S MANPADS is 80 thousand dollars.

Overview of the Russian mortar 2B14 "Tray". Footage of combat work in Ukraine of Russian crews of 82-mm mortars "Tray" has been published. The 2B14 mortar was put into service in 1983 after tests in Afghanistan. To minimize the weight carried by soldiers, the mortar in Afghanistan was used even without a plate and bipod, the mortar barrel was simply held by hand. The mortar worked well, but insufficient strength of the lifting mechanism was revealed. The "Tray" mortar fires the same mines as the 2B9 "Vasilek" mortar, a link to it is in the comments to the video. The mortar has a fuse against double loading. The maximum firing range of the mortar is 3920 meters, the minimum is 80 meters. Rate of fire up to 24 rounds per minute, mortar crew from 2 to 4 people. The mass of the 2B14 mortar in combat position is 42 kilograms.
