Armament of the Russian Army

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.

 
This clip shows Russian assault groups in action during the "Center-2026" military exercises. The footage captures soldiers moving into the simulated enemy's rear via underground conduits and a pipeline to launch a surprise attack. The Russian army previously conducted an underground operation known as "Potok"—which has already become a case study in military tactics; a video of it is available on the channel. To navigate in the dark, the soldiers were equipped with night-vision devices.

 
Russian airborne troops have—for the first time—airdropped ground-based robotic systems from an Il-76 military transport aircraft. This robotic airdrop operation was demonstrated during the "Center-2026" exercises. A total of three robotic systems were deployed: the "Omich-2," the "Kuryer" (equipped with a combat module), and the "Bogomol-7V." The robots were dropped from an altitude of 600 meters using the P-7 parachute platform. It takes 3–5 minutes after landing for a robot to begin executing its assigned mission. It is worth noting, however, that this method is rarely applicable in actual combat due to the frequent presence of air defense systems. Nevertheless, this technique allows for the rapid deployment of groups of soldiers and equipment. The video also concludes by showing the airdrop and deployment of a kamikaze robot.
