The Russian company Nova Labs showed a ready-made sample of the interceptor drone "Molot-Britva", earlier we showed prototypes. The interceptor drone is equipped with machine vision and an infrared homing head, it is able to independently recognize a target and home in on it. The interceptor drone "Molot-Britva", one might say an air defense system against drones, it is launched from a manual installation and carries out a kinetic interception of an enemy drone. The system operates on the principle of "fire and forget". The video also shows a training version, the interceptor then flies close to the target. The Russian portable anti-aircraft system "Molot" uses 3.4-kilogram interceptor drones. The system allows you to hit UAVs with a wingspan of up to 5 meters, at a range of 500 meters and an altitude of up to 2 kilometers. The interceptor can follow the target at a range of up to 3 kilometers and develops a speed of up to 250 km / h. Drones measuring 30-70 cm can be hit at a distance of up to 200 meters.
New footage of Russian BMPT Terminator crews training at night has been published. Judging by the fact that the BMPT Terminator is equipped with a homemade canopy that protects the combat vehicle from drones, they are still in use, but not shown yet.
Russian engineers have developed an updated version of the Yak-52 aircraft designed to combat large UAVs. The new version of the aircraft received the index Yak-52B2. It is worth noting that Ukraine already uses these aircraft to combat drones, but there is no additional equipment on the aircraft and there is just a gunner. In the Russian version, the Yak-52 aircraft is equipped with the PERGAM S400 aviation video surveillance system. The system allows you to detect a person at a distance of up to 15 km, or a car at a distance of up to 23 km. The aircraft also has a modified cockpit, with an on-board computer and a modern flight and navigation system, allowing you to fly at night and in difficult weather conditions. As a course armament, self-loading Saiga carbines of 12 gauge are installed. This is a temporary solution due to problems with the legislation. The aircraft can carry up to 90 kilograms of payload under each wing. The Yak-52B2 aircraft is designed to combat the large An-196 "Lyuty" and Aeroprakt A-22 UAVs, which were converted from aircraft into heavy drones.
A salvo from the Russian Grad-M naval MLRS. Rare footage of the 122mm Grad-M naval MLRS firing has been published as part of the Russian Pacific Fleet exercises. The firing training was conducted from the large landing ship Peresvet, Project 775M. The A-215 Grad-M naval 122mm MLRS was created on the basis of the 9K51 Grad land MLRS in 1969 in the USSR. Full specifications of the MLRS are shown on the screen. The MLRS is designed to destroy manpower and equipment on the shore, during the landing of marine troops, to support their actions, and to defend landing ships. The A-215 MLRS can also use 9K51 Grad MLRS rockets. The Grad-M MLRS is equipped with the MS-73 launcher and contains 40 shells, plus ammunition in the ship's magazine. The Grad-M MLRS can hit targets at a distance of up to 20,700 meters, the reload time of the installation is 2 minutes.
In Russia, state tests of the BT-3F floating armored personnel carrier, created on the basis of the BMP-3F, have begun. Earlier, we did a review of the Arctic version of the BT-3F, a link to the video is in the comments to the video. The BT-3F is designed to transport marines and ground forces units. It can also be used as a mobile command post or ambulance. The BT-3F can be armed with a combat module with a 12.7-mm Kord machine gun, a 40-mm automatic grenade launcher or a launcher of the Kornet-E anti-tank complex. The BT-3F can carry up to 12 fully equipped paratroopers. It can stay on the water for up to 7 hours in waves up to 3 points. The full combat weight of the BT-3F is 18.9 tons. The maximum speed on the road is 70 km / h, on the water - 10 km / h, the cruising range is 600 km.
Fighter pilots of the Northern Fleet of Russia practiced air combat tactics in the skies over the Arctic. The flights took place on Su-33 and Su-30SM aircraft. As part of combat training, the pilots practiced intercepting air targets.
