The Russian Army has begun testing the Russian heavy-duty cargo quadcopter "Elephant." Specialists from the Groza Group have developed a heavy-duty quadcopter capable of carrying a payload of 120 kg. By comparison, Ukrainian hexacopters like the "Baba Yaga" can lift up to 60 kg. Drones of this type are designed to supply forward units at the front line, which is approximately 10 km away, making it difficult to supply troops. Various versions of the drone, equipped with munitions release systems and electronic warfare systems, are currently being tested. The "Elephant" quadcopter has undergone tests, including evacuating a person weighing approximately 80 kg and delivering a generator. With a payload of 50 kg, the drone can fly up to 13 km. The drone has received a positive assessment from the Russian Ministry of Defense and has been recommended for deployment to the armed forces.

The Russian volunteer design bureau Radart unveiled a prototype of the Lyudmila anti-aircraft mount, designed to engage UAVs and FPV drones. Design Bureau Radart has been developing air defense systems with optoelectronic guidance systems for a long time. The video also shows the GEKKON air defense system mounted on a trailer. It's worth noting that some air defense systems developed by Design Bureau Radart are already in limited combat use in the army. The anti-aircraft turrets are based on 7.62mm PKT and 12.7mm NSVT machine guns. Currently, the Lyudmila air defense system has a 0.8-0.95 probability of intercepting Lyutyi UAVs at ranges of up to 500-700 meters. Work to improve the air defense systems is ongoing. The main challenge for air defense systems currently is detecting and reliably tracking FPV-type targets.

The Russian Air Force has released new high-quality footage of a Su-34 frontline bomber dropping OFAB-250-270 bombs. In this case, the unified airborne gliding and correction module is installed on the OFAB-250-270 bombs. The UMPK module has essentially re-purposed old Soviet bombs, transforming them into effective, modern precision weapons. It's worth noting that air defenses are ineffective against bombs equipped with UMPK modules.

On December 6, 2025, the naval ensign was lowered on the last Project 956 destroyer of the Russian Northern Fleet, the Admiral Ushakov (known as the Fearless until 2004). The ship was the 17th in the series, launched in 1993. The Admiral Ushakov last sailed in 2023. The Russian Navy nominally has only one destroyer of this class left, the Nastoychivy, which is listed as part of the Baltic Fleet but has been inactive since 2015. It is worth noting that China has modernized and is using ships of this class. An overview of the Project 956 ships is available in the video link.

The United Aircraft Corporation has manufactured and delivered a new batch of Su-34 fighter-bombers to the Russian Ministry of Defense. This marks the seventh batch of combat aircraft of this type this year. The Su-34 is a versatile aircraft with a powerful arsenal, currently in demand in aviation. The aircraft has received improvements that increase its precision and range. In terms of combat performance, the Su-34 fighter-bomber is one of the best in the world. Examples of the Su-34's combat performance are available on the channel in the "Military Chronicle" playlist.
