The first official footage of the launch of Russia's new jet-powered drone, the Geran-5, is also shown in the video. The Geran-2 drone is partially similar to a cruise missile. Official specifications for the drone are not yet available, but the expected flight speed is 450 km/h, the range is 950 km, and the warhead weighs up to 90 kg. It's worth noting that operational experience has shown that the drone's flight speed needs to be further increased to counter interceptor drones. A version of the drone with an R-73 missile for engaging aerial targets is also planned.

An episode featuring the Russian Peresvet combat laser system was shown in honor of the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The Peresvet system was first shown in 2018, and at the same time, it began experimental combat duty at missile bases in Teikovo, Yoshkar-Ola, and Novosibirsk. The Peresvet system is capable of protecting facilities from air and space threats, such as aircraft and satellites. Essentially, the Peresvet air defense system is a missile defense system, similar to the S-500 air defense system. The laser blinds enemy guidance systems, suppressing optical systems and possibly disabling them. The system is still classified; only general information is known. The Peresvet laser air defense system covers a circular area with a radius of 65–90 km and is capable of blinding satellites in Earth orbit at altitudes from 200 to 1,100 km.

A Russian serviceman shared his impressions of the new 152mm Giatsint-K self-propelled howitzer. The 2S44 Giatsint-K self-propelled howitzer entered service in 2024, with a firing range of up to 50 km. The Giatsint-K self-propelled howitzer boasts a high degree of automation and is comparable to its Western counterparts.

Footage of the assembly and launch of the Russian Lancet-51 drone from a camouflaged position in the back of a truck. It's worth noting that the British Ministry of Defense has called the Lancet kamikaze drones one of Russia's best combat systems. The Lancet-51 drone, officially designated "Product 51," is constantly being upgraded.

The compact MSL-20045 radar, designed for automatic detection and tracking of air and ground targets, has entered service with the Russian military. The radar operates in the 5.0–5.9 GHz frequency range. According to some reports, the radar can detect fixed-wing UAVs at a range of up to 12 km, and FPV drones at a range of up to 8 km with a 45° field of view. A single operator can simultaneously record data from up to eight antenna posts. Target designation from the radar can be provided to the crews of Yolka and Molot interceptor drones. Target designation from the MSL-20045 radar can also be provided to Zubr automated air defense systems.
