News and discussions of the Russian Army

The first footage of the Russian army using the North Korean 240-mm M1991 MLRS. The video was presumably filmed in the Kursk region of Russia. The M1991 MLRS was adopted by the DPRK in the late 1980s and is a further modification of the large-caliber M1985 MLRS. The M1991 MLRS can be regarded as an analogue of the Russian Smerch MLRS. The M1991 MLRS is equipped with 22 rockets and can hit targets at a distance of up to 60 km. In 2024, a firing range of 80 km was achieved. Presumably, the M1991 MLRS rocket is 5.2 meters long and weighs 300-400 kg, the warhead of the projectile in the fragmentation version is about 90 kg. Typically, the M1991 MLRS is mounted on an Isuzu Motors truck chassis and is operated by two soldiers.

 
Footage of Russian military equipment on display at a military parade in Moscow in 2025. It is worth noting that not all of the military equipment shown at the parade is used by the Russian army. The military equipment parade itself was held in a shortened version. For the first time in 10 years, the Armata tanks and T-15 infantry fighting vehicles on the Armata platform were not shown at the parade. There was also almost no aviation.
