Rare footage of Russian pilots training on the simulator complex of the Russian Tu-22M3 bomber. Officially it is reported about the Tu-22M3 simulator, but the cockpit is similar to the Tu-160, perhaps the simulator is universal. Pilots and navigators of the Russian long-range aviation practice tasks in emergency situations on the simulator complex of the Tu-22M3 aircraft. During the training, the pilots conducted training in adverse weather conditions, zero visibility, with various failures of onboard radio-electronic equipment, such as engine failure or loss of radio communication. In addition, while working on the simulators, the pilots practiced the tactical destruction of command posts, combat equipment and fire suppression of advancing forces of the imaginary enemy

Rare footage of the Russian BTR-MRU-D air defense reconnaissance and control vehicle, based on the BTR-MDM Rakushka. The MRU-D is used by the Russian Airborne Forces and is equipped with the MRU-D (9S932-2) air defense reconnaissance and control module with the 1L122-1 Garmon radar. In this case, the MRU-D works together with the Russian Strela-10 air defense missile system. The MRU-D radar was first shown in 2018 and is designed to detect air targets at low and medium altitudes. The MRU-D air defense module operators transmit data via secure communication channels for target designation by the Strela-10MN air defense missile system or by crews with the Verba MANPADS. The MRU-D radar is capable of detecting targets at a range of up to 40 km, at target flight speeds of up to 700 m/s and flight altitudes of up to 10 km. The MRU-D radar can track up to 100 targets simultaneously. The radar is ready for operation for 5 minutes, and is controlled by two operators. Information about the BTR-MDM is available on the channel.

ZALA has presented a new compact launcher for the Russian drone "Lancet-51", officially called "Product 51". The new design of the launcher for the drone "Lancet" is a compact and lightweight device that the drone operator can carry manually. This allows the drone to be launched at a significant distance from the location of the ground control station. To prepare the launcher for the drone launch, one person and no more than 1 minute of time are enough. Disassembling the launcher after launch is not required. Thus, ZALA developers have simplified and made the process of launching the Lancet loitering munition faster and safer.

The Russian company "IRIT" from Ryazan presented the FPV drone "Ryazan", the company made a very detailed review of the drone. Even the operating frequencies of the drone are indicated. But the publication of frequencies is not critical, the drone is controlled via the "Fan" channel, with a random frequency tuning mode. The drone uses many components of Russian production. The body of the drone "Ryazan" consists of plastic, fiberglass and metal, which reduce the effective reflective surface of the drone to 0.05. The drone has a remote detonation function, it can also be used to drop ammunition, reconnaissance, it is equipped with a thermal imager. The drone has a brushless electric motor, power is provided by a battery with a capacity of 18,000 mAh. The drone's carrying capacity is up to 7 kg. The drone's flight duration is up to 20 minutes, at an altitude of up to 4 km at a speed of up to 100 km / h. Flight range is up to 15 km. The price of the Ryazan drone is still unknown.

Russian servicemen demonstrated the launch of a 3D6 smoke munition from the 902 "Tucha" system from a T-80BVM tank; the 81-mm smoke munition is part of the standard equipment. But in this case, the launcher has been rearranged. It is assumed that the tank, having approached the enemy closely, will be able to smoke the enemy trenches, which will force him to retreat or will interfere with firing at the tank. Smoke munitions are fired at a distance of 10 to 350 meters, after falling to the ground they emit dark smoke. The smoke screen lasts up to 1.5 minutes, its length reaches 30 meters and the height up to 10 meters, depending on the wind and air temperature.
