Footage showing the "Arena-M" active protection system in actual operation on a T-90M tank has been released during the Russian "Center-2026" military exercises. The video demonstrates the system engaging both FPV drones and fixed-wing UAVs. The active protection system triggers at a distance of approximately 1–2 meters from the tank's turret. It is worth noting that while the "Arena-M" system is already in successful use, further refinement is ongoing.

During the "Center 2026" strategic command-and-staff exercises, Russia demonstrated the new "Izdelie 347" ground-based missile system, which employs the Kh-39 LMUR missile. Video footage shows the missile launch and the operator. The system is designed for the precision engagement of stationary and moving targets at ranges of up to 20 km. Reportedly, the Kh-39 LMUR air-to-ground missile has undergone modifications.

Tests have been conducted in Russia on an aerial aerostat barrier system designed to counter fixed-wing UAVs. The setup of these aerostat barriers is relatively simple: a net made of Kevlar cables is strung between several aerostats, creating an impassable obstacle for drones. Upon detection of an enemy UAV, automated winches hoist the aerostat to the required altitude. Radars can also be mounted on the aerostats. It is worth noting, however, that drones can strike the aerostat, so it must be raised to a high altitude.
