Checking military arsenals began in Russia. Against the backdrop of a multiple increase in the production of military products, Russia began checking military arsenals. Inspections are also ongoing on the implementation of the state defense order at the enterprises of the military-industrial complex in the Omsk region for the production of tanks and heavy flamethrower systems. The head of the Russian Defense Ministry was informed that all armored vehicles at the Omsktransmash enterprise have been modified to meet modern requirements for tank protection, and the volume of output has increased significantly. The footage also shows the echelon with new T-80BVM tanks and the factory equipment of the upgraded tanks with visors against drones. The protection of tanks certainly looks awkward, but at the moment, cheap and effective protection of the tank turret from kamikaze drones has not been invented. Based on the results of the inspection of military enterprises, instructions were given to further increase the output of military products.

Attack UAV S-70 Okhotnik is already using Russia, drone review. Information began to come in that the Russian Air Force began to use the S-70 Okhotnik heavy strike UAV, the Turkish media were the first to report this. According to them, a new Russian UAV is visible in the photo taken in Ukraine. For the first time, the S-70 UAV was shown on August 5, 2021, after which there was little news about it. The S-70 Okhotnik low-observable strike UAVs are designed to work in conjunction with Su-57 fighters. The UAV was developed as a reconnaissance and target designation support UAV for the Su-57 fighter, similar to the Pentagon Kratos XQ-58 Valkyrie UAV, designed to escort F-22 or F-35 combat aircraft. The S-70 Okhotnik UAV can carry four KAB-500 aerial bombs or 8 KAB-250 bombs, as well as X-74M2 air-to-air missiles and Kh-38 short-range air-to-surface missiles. To combat enemy radar, the UAV can use Kh-58 anti-radar missiles. The main function of the S-70 UAV is not its strike capabilities, but the ability to covertly enter the air defense coverage area and target designation for the Su-57 fighter. The characteristics of the UAV are still classified, it is known that the UAV is equipped with an AL-31 engine and is capable of speeds up to 1000 km / h, operating at an altitude of up to 18 thousand meters. The range of the drone will be about 6,000 kilometers. The dimensions of the drone are impressive, you can appreciate it from the photo next to Russian fighters, with a mass of 20 tons, the wingspan of the drone is up to 19 meters. According to preliminary data, the cost of the S-70 Okhotnik UAV reaches $27 million, or two billion three hundred million rubles.

A new version of the Russian drone Lancet Izdeliye-53 and a factory for the production of kamikaze Lancet drones are shown. For the first time, ZALA Aero Group showed its production of drones and a new version of the Russian Lancet kamikaze drones. As you can see from the video, Russian Lancet drones began to be produced on a huge scale, we are talking about hundreds, and maybe thousands of drones. To expand production , the company simply bought a former shopping center and converted it to the production of drones, thanks to this, the production of Lancet kamikaze drones increased 50 times. Product 51 "is a large drone and Product 52," Lancet drone designer Alexander Zakharov said. There are training classes in the production of drones, in which military personnel are taught to launch Lancet drones. And now the most interesting thing is the new Lancet drone, which is officially called "Product 53". Unfortunately, the answer to the main question, whether the warhead of the new Lancet drone "Product 53" was enlarged. In my opinion, the drone has become much more massive, it can be seen even by its thickness, most likely the combat part got bigger. Now the new Lancet drone is equipped with a folding wing and is placed in a transport and launch container, from where it is launched. That is, the time to prepare for the launch is saved. Most likely containers with drones will be installed on cars. Another main feature, Lancet drones can now work in a swarm, launched by a group, they exchange data and search for a target themselves. This is the most important innovation, swarm drones are the weapons of the near future that need to be developed. The designer said that the Lancet drone is almost impossible to intercept by means of electronic warfare. It is also noted that it is not scary if the drone falls into the hands of the enemy, the drone is software-protected and it is impossible to use its technologies.
