Russian Ka-52M attack helicopters have reportedly received the latest 30mm remote-detonating munitions for countering UAVs. The Ka-52 helicopter can reportedly engage 25 or more drones in just a few sorties using the new munitions. Rostec recently announced the development of a 30mm shrapnel projectile with a remote-controlled fuse, designed to effectively engage drones. Such munitions were previously developed by NPO Pribor. The targeting system reportedly calculates the most advantageous detonation point based on the target's flight trajectory, allowing the drone to be hit with shrapnel. Detonation time is entered automatically via an optical line. The remote-detonating projectile is designed for firing from the 2A42 automatic cannon, which is installed, among other things, on airborne combat vehicles, the Terminator BPMT, and the Mi-28NM and Ka-52M helicopters.
whats the tracking mechanism for this? it looks too small for it to have onboard autonomous guidance

It's not that small. About the size of Javelin.

Uralvagonzavod has sent a batch of modernized BREM-80 armored recovery vehicles to the Russian Armed Forces. The BREM-80U was also previously demonstrated. "The key upgrade to the BREM-80 is the increased crew protection and a new mechanized coupling. This device allows the BREM crew to recover damaged equipment without abandoning the vehicle. The BREM is sometimes used as an "assault tank," for paving roads in populated areas. The upgraded BREM-80 features side protection similar to that found on the T-80BVM tank, a slatted screen, and an electronic warfare system to protect against drones. The GTD-1250 gas turbine engine increases the BREM's mobility. The BREM-80 has a crew of four and is based on the T-80 tank chassis, modified based on combat experience.

The first footage of the Russian robotic platform NRTK "Courier" being used for radiation reconnaissance. In the video of the exercise, the NRTK "Courier" robot measures background radiation in the area using an IMD-7 dosimeter. The robot places marker flags at suspected points of excess radiation. Technical information on the IMD-7 dosimeter is shown on the screen.
