Russian mobile counter-drone units have begun actively using the Arkhangel interceptor drone, developed by the Arkhangel design bureau. The Arkhangel project is a team of enthusiasts that began development in 2022, with centers located in Moscow, Crimea, and the Krasnodar Krai. The Arkhangel drone can act as an interceptor drone, shooting down enemy drones, and as a strike weapon, targeting structures, armored vehicles, infantry, and unmanned boats. The developers themselves refer to it as a drone-missile; an interview with them is at the end of the video. An interesting feature of the Arkhangel drone is its use by air defense systems. A corner reflector can be mounted on the drone, allowing air defense radars to detect it and target enemy drones. This operational mode has already been tested in real-world conditions. The drone can also be used at night and launched from UAVs and other platforms. Small-scale production of the drones is currently underway; the project requires an order and funding from the Ministry of Defense. The Arkhangel interceptor drone can be equipped with a warhead weighing between 700 grams and 2.5 kg. It reaches speeds of up to 350 km/h and has a range of up to 50 kilometers. The drone's specifications are subject to change as it is constantly being developed.

The first test flight of the two-seat Russian fifth-generation fighter prototype, the Su-57, took place. The new variant has been designated the Su-57D. The Su-57D can be used not only for pilot training but also for organizing and managing combat operations. Its two-seat configuration transforms the aircraft into a fully-fledged command post. The second pilot controls the drones or a combat group of aircraft. According to open sources, the two-seat version of the aircraft is capable of controlling four S-70 Okhotnik drones.

As part of the second phase of Russian nuclear forces exercises, the crew of the Project 22350 Admiral Gorshkov-class frigate launched a Zircon hypersonic missile. The Zircon missile was launched in the Barents Sea, at a target at the Chizha test range. The video was filmed from a distance, but the missile's initial acceleration is clearly visible.

The Kalashnikov Concern unveiled the modernized Russian tactical drone, the KUB-10ME. Details about the drone are still scarce. It is known that the drone was developed in a very short timeframe, approximately four months. Judging by the video, the drone is equipped with an internal combustion engine. The KUB-10ME drone is designed to engage unarmored and lightly armored vehicles. It can also engage enemy personnel, stationary targets, and air defense systems. The drone is also capable of performing reconnaissance missions at altitudes of 80 to 1,800 meters and a cruising speed of up to 120 km/h. The warhead weight is still unknown, but some sources indicate it weighs between 4 and 16 kg. The drone's range is over 100 kilometers.
