In Obninsk, at one of the private enterprises and in other cities, a retired tank driver, with the call sign “Architect” and volunteers, organized the production of Russian dynamic protection “Contact-1”, used to protect tanks. The “Contact-1” project is being developed with funds from volunteers, support and production of protection for tanks, and is carried out in all regions of the country. The production is well organized and a stamp has already been developed for even faster production of Kontakt-1 dynamic protection components. At the moment, as part of the project, more than 67 thousand Kontakt-1 dynamic protection units have been sent to the troops. About 300 dynamic protection units are installed on one tank; installation of the units on one side of the tank takes about 10 hours. Let me remind you that “Kontakt-1” is the first Soviet dynamic tank protection system developed in 1982, after which the improved “Kontakt-5” and “Relikt” appeared.

The new RPL-20 light machine gun developed for the Russian army is ready for state testing. The machine gun was already presented earlier, but it was modified to meet the customer’s requirements. The RPL-20 machine gun was created taking into account military feedback collected during testing of the RPK-16 machine gun, which was considered as a replacement for the Soviet RPK-74 machine gun. The RPL-20 belt-fed light machine gun has an open rotary bolt and a long-stroke gas piston. Equipping a machine gun with belt feed reduces the soldier's mobility, but increases the machine gun's rate of fire. The RPL-20 machine gun has interchangeable barrels of different lengths, which allows you to change them depending on the tasks being solved, as well as in case of overheating. Currently the machine gun is available in 5.45×39 mm caliber; in the future it will be exported in 5.56 and 7.62 mm calibers that meet NATO standards. The machine gun has a folding stock with an adjustable cheekpiece. The weight of the machine gun with a short barrel is 5.2 kg, with a long barrel - 5.5 kg. The machine gun is equipped with a Picatinny rail for mounting sights and other accessories. The range of hitting targets with a machine gun is up to 500 meters, the rate of fire is 700 rounds per minute. Cartridge box capacity: 100 rounds.

This is what future tanks should be like.
 
Personnel of the work of Russian units of the engineering troops engaged in providing troops with fuel, special liquids, oils and lubricants. The video shows temporarily created underground bunkers and shelters with fuel and lubricants. This makes it possible to reduce the time required to complete tasks to ensure the uninterrupted supply of troops with fuel and lubricants. As can be seen in the video, the warehouses are dispersed over a considerable distance and are connected by fuel pipelines. All warehouses are autonomous, equipped for permanent residence of personnel, equipped with means of transportation, surveillance and communications. At the bases with fuels and lubricants, places for heating and intermediate feeding of tanker drivers are equipped. There is field laboratory equipment for assessing the quality of fuel using express methods.

Personnel training of Russian crews of the Basurmanin infantry fighting vehicle. BMP-1AM "Basurmanin" was first presented in 2020; the infantry fighting vehicle is considered one of the best options for modernizing first-generation military equipment. Instead of a turret with a 73-mm 2A28 "Grom" smoothbore cannon, the BMP-1AM "Basurmanin" is equipped with a combat module with a 30-mm stabilized automatic gun 2A72, which has a more advanced combined sight. The Metis anti-tank missile system is used to combat enemy armored targets. In addition, the Russian BMP-1AM is equipped with the “Tucha” system, which allows the installation of camouflage aerosol curtains. In the BMP, the old radio station R-123M was replaced with R-168-25U-2 with improved characteristics. Also, the Basurmanin BMP has become more mobile compared to the first generation BMP-1, due to the installation of a UTD-20S1 engine and torsion shafts with increased energy intensity. In addition, the buoyancy and movement of the vehicle through water was improved due to the installation of displacement wings. The Basurmanin infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with a 300 hp engine. The maximum speed of the infantry fighting vehicle on the highway is 65 km/h. Fuel range up to 550 km. During the production of the BMP-1, from 1966 to 1983, at least 20 thousand combat vehicles were produced. According to 2018 data, about 1,000 infantry fighting vehicles are in service with the Russian Guard and about 7,000 are in the storage of the Russian Ministry of Defense. In addition, about 7,000 BMP-1s continue to be used by the armed forces of 30 countries.

Russian Prometheus complex, robotization of armored vehicles. Russia has begun a full cycle of testing the Prometheus software and hardware complex, capable of converting any armored vehicle, including tanks, armored personnel carriers or infantry fighting vehicles into a remote-controlled robotic vehicle. The complex was developed by the Signal Research Institute. Military equipment equipped with the Prometheus complex is capable of moving along given coordinates without the participation of an operator, autonomously determining the best route, successfully avoiding obstacles, and also quickly processing information received using technical vision. The Prometheus complex is designed for installation on any serial model of military equipment. For example, on the BMP-3 it allows robotic functions of the driver and gunner. At the same time, the Prometheus complex does not affect the ergonomics of the cabin - standard seats for the crew remain inside.

This looks like the way tanks will go. Not very heavy. Ditch the big long gun. Replace that with auto cannons and rocket launchers in an unmanned turret.
 
The Russian Arena-M active protection complex will be improved, General Designer Valery Kashin announced this to the Russian Minister of Defense. The Arena-M complex for protecting tanks from ATGMs and shells will be equipped on T-72, T-80 and T-90 tanks, and possibly on the Terminator BMPT. The Arena-M complex will also have the function of protecting the tank from drones, since this is now the main threat to tanks. It is not reported how this will be done; most likely there will be a new radar. The Russian active protection complex "Arena-M" was tested back in 2021, it was tested on Russian and foreign ammunition, it is worth noting that it was never installed on tanks. The Arena-M active protection system is similar to the Israeli Trophy tank protection system from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., which is installed on the Merkava Mark IV and M1A2C Abrams tanks. The Arena-M complex consists of a radar, an on-board computer, a console and blocks of protective ammunition in installation shafts. The Arena-M complex, with the help of a radar, detects a missile or projectile flying at a tank, after which it gives the command to neutralize it. To do this, narrowly targeted ammunition placed along the perimeter of the tower is fired towards the missile. The complex detects targets at a distance of up to 50 meters and fires defensive ammunition in 0.07 seconds. Each defensive ammunition fires at its own sector around the tank. The use of the Arena-M complex makes it possible to approximately double the survivability of a tank during offensive operations.
