The first footage of tests of the Russian mobile air defense system "Rapira-2" has been published. The "Rapira-2" system is mounted on the AMN-590951 "Spartak" multi-purpose armored vehicle and is designed to detect, track and neutralize small air targets, including drones. The "Rapira-2" air defense system is equipped with a PKTM machine gun of 7.62 mm caliber. An electro-optical system is used to track and target drones. The system has a thermal imager, electronic warfare and a laser rangefinder. The "Rapira-3" air defense system has also been created; it is equipped, presumably, with modified 80-mm S-8 missiles; the differences between these systems are minimal. The "Rapira" air defense system is capable of detecting drones at a range of up to 20 kilometers.

Footage has been published of the Russian Navy's Il-38N anti-submarine aircraft flying past the Sapphire Princess cruise liner. The liner belongs to the American cruise line Princess Cruises. The aircraft greeted the ship's passengers by shaking its wings. Technical information about the Il-38N aircraft is available on the channel. The video was most likely filmed over the Pacific Ocean.
