Footage of the Russian engineering vehicle IMR-2 mine clearing machine in action in the Kursk region of Russia. The IMR-2 mine clearing machine is designed to create column routes in difficult-to-pass areas for the advancement of troops, as well as to create passages in minefields. The Soviet army began using the IMR-2 mine clearing machine in 1980, and it is also used by other countries. The IMR-2 has proven to be highly effective and has been upgraded several times. It was also used to eliminate the consequences of the Chernobyl accident, as it has good radiation protection. The IMR-2 is based on the T-72 tank and can be equipped with bulldozer equipment, a telescopic boom with a grab-manipulator, a mine trawl, and mine clearing units. The IMR-2 can be equipped with an anti-nuclear protection system, a chemical reconnaissance device, an automatic fire extinguishing system, and it can move underwater. It is armed with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun. The IMR-2 weighs 44.5 tons and is equipped with an 840 hp engine, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 59 km/h. The range on the highway is 500 km. The IMR-2 is controlled by two people.
Official footage from the Ministry of Defense showing Russian FAB-250 bombs exploding. Three FAB-250 bombs with UMPK modules were dropped on a temporary deployment point for units of the Ukrainian National Guard in the town of Pravdovka. The bombs were presumably dropped by a Su-34 aircraft. FAB-250 M-62 high-explosive bombs were adopted by the USSR in 1962. The bomb weighs 227 kilograms and contains 100 kilograms of explosives. When dropped from an aircraft at a speed of 800-900 km/h and an altitude of 10,000 meters, the FAB-250 M-62 bomb with the UMPK module flies about 80 km. The radius of destruction of the FAB-250 M-62 bomb is up to 116 meters, the deviation from the target is up to 10 meters.
How a river crossing is created, the pontoon park PPS 84 of Russia in the Kursk region. Servicemen of the engineering troops of Russia conducted exercises in the Kursk region, on the creation of a pontoon crossing across the river. Servicemen from start to finish showed how a pontoon crossing is created. When creating a crossing across the river, the Russian pontoon park PPS-84 is used. Each link of the crossing can withstand a weight of up to 22.5 tons, and in a coupling this figure increases proportionally to the number of links. From the links it is possible to create a river ferry up to 360 tons, the assembly time of which is 25 minutes.
Russian military column in Syria with Tochka-U ballistic missiles. The video was filmed in Syria, in the area of the city of Ain Issa, the Kurdish zone, the area of the Sarrin air base. The Russian column also consisted of armored vehicles "Tiger", "Typhoon-K", "Spartak", 152-mm howitzers Msta-B, information about the equipment is on the channel.
In Russia, a robotic platform "Venom-Totem" was developed for evacuating the wounded, as well as delivering supplies and ammunition to the military. The robotic platform "Venom-Totem" was created in Novosibirsk by the ROBCOM company. Initially, the unmanned platform "Venom-Totem" was developed for evacuating victims from emergency zones, but recently it has also been used by the troops. It is planned to transfer 50 more units to the troops in the near future. The "Venom-Totem" platform has an electric drive and is controlled remotely, it is capable of carrying a load of up to 500 kg. The platform speed is up to 5 km / h, the operating range is up to 200 meters. In the future, it is planned to create platforms that will be able to automatically load the bodies of the dead and remove them.
Iran tests Russian Spartak VPK-Ural armored vehicles. Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian security forces, Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Radan familiarized himself with the Russian Spartak armored vehicle, also called VPK-Ural. The VPK-Ural armored vehicles are currently actively used by the Russian army. It is not yet clear whether Iran will purchase Spartak armored vehicles. Most likely, the Russian Spartak armored vehicles will be used in areas bordering Pakistan to reinforce Iranian border guard units.
Servicemen of one of the Russian units showed an unusual homemade tracked assault vehicle, created on the basis of the medium artillery tractor ATS-59G. The military tractor was equipped with protection from drones, such as "Tsar-mangal", unlike the classic protection, here there are rubber screens. To make a semblance of an armored personnel carrier, it was necessary to additionally armor the six-seater cabin. The stern of the ATS-59G was covered with chains.
The artillery tractor ATS-59G was adopted by the USSR in 1970. Initially, the machine was developed for towing heavy guns. The mass of the ATS-59G tractor is almost fourteen tons. Engine power is 300 horsepower. Maximum speed on the highway is 45 kilometers per hour. Cruising range on fuel: 350 - 500 kilometers. The ATS-59G military tractor is capable of transporting three tons of cargo or twelve soldiers.
The Russian army is gradually being replenished with robotic platforms for various purposes, they are already being actively used, but their production volumes are still small. Rostec presented the robotic tracked complex "Caracal", produced by "Kurganmashzavod", it was first shown in the summer. The "Caracal" robot belongs to the light class of robotic complexes. The "Caracal" robot is designed to solve various problems on the battlefield, depending on the module installed on it. In one version, the "Caracal" platform can be equipped with a missile system, most likely, small arms can also be installed on it. It can also be used as a vehicle for delivering goods or evacuating the wounded. The standard equipment on board the complex includes a thermal imager, several cameras, a navigation system and a radio transmitter with increased protection against interference. The control range of the "Caracal" platform is up to 2 kilometers, the speed is up to 15 km / h, the carrying capacity is up to 500 kilograms, the cruising range is about 150 kilometers.
