The Russian company Umirs and the Moscow-based company Nashe Nebo unveiled a new mobile launch system designed to launch two Yolka interceptor drones. The system is equipped with a Umirs radar and allows the Yolka interceptor drone to be used as a fully-fledged air defense system. The system is ready for use, but there is no market for it, according to Russian military correspondent Andrei Filatov. It's worth noting that Russia's air defense system is currently in dire need of such equipment, but for an unknown reason, the Ministry of Defense is not yet procuring such systems.
Technical information is not available. An overview of the Yolka interceptor drone is available in the link to the video in the comments.
The Russian company Lobaev Arms and the Design Bureau of Integrated Systems (KBIS) unveiled the "Dvoynik" robotic sniper system. The "Dvoynik" system can be mounted on robotic chassis, including the NRTK Kurier robots, and can be used stationary or on various vehicles. The system operates in remote-control mode and in a partially autonomous mode, where most calculations and targeting functions are performed by artificial intelligence. An autonomous mode is also available, presumably for protecting a specific area. During testing, the system demonstrated high accuracy with weapons of various calibers. The manufacturer claims the system provides a firing accuracy of 0.2 minutes of arc. The company has already begun serial production, even before receiving a state defense order.
Servicemen from the Russian Dnepr Forces Group showed footage of the Kurier robotic platform being used for cargo delivery. The video also shows the first footage of the Kurier robotic platform towing a 122mm D-30 howitzer. Using robotic platforms for ammunition delivery and evacuation saves personnel lives. It was previously reported that the Kurier robotic platform has a load capacity of 200 kilograms, plus it can tow an additional 200 kilograms on a trailer. Judging by the video, the Kurier robot can tow a trailer weighing over three tons.
Footage of the assembly and launch of the Russian KUB drone, manufactured by ZALA AERO. The KUB drone is less expensive than the Lancet drone and has been in use since 2022. In the US, it has been dubbed "Ukraine's nightmare." Most often, the drone is used to destroy enemy structures and personnel, and is primarily equipped with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead containing HMX. The drone may already be equipped with a terminal targeting system. The KUB drone is constantly being improved, and its specifications are evolving. Currently, it is known that the KUB drone weighs between 10 and 15 kg, and its flight range already exceeds 50 km. It reaches speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour and carries a payload of 3 kg. Its flight endurance is 30 minutes, at altitudes of up to 1,000 meters.
Uralvagonzavod has released video footage of the Russian T-90S tank undergoing road tests in the Malaysian jungle for the first time. The footage was preserved on a videotape by a test engineer who participated in the events. The video was filmed in the summer of 2000, in high humidity and temperatures above 40°C (104°F). Prior to this, the T-90 tank underwent trials in India's Thar Desert, and then, almost immediately after, completed a 1,300-kilometer march through the Malaysian jungle. In the 2000s, the T-90S tank underwent testing in three different climate zones. None of its competitors' tanks have completed this cycle.
