Russian Knights in Hainan Haikou.
Russian propaganda video gives credit to the old Soviet era D-20 howitzer. This has become an outstanding weapon for both sides. The video mentions a D-20 howitzer eliminating an M113 in one strike, congratulating the skill of the artilerymen, however, drone footage with blue targeting reticles are indicative of a Krasnopol strike with the Orlan lasing the target. This is typical of so many videos failing to credit Krasnopol usage.
A promotion video for the Nona-S self propelled mortar. There is growing appreciation to the use of self propelled mortars in this war, and Russia should continue to build new versions of it despite still having large unused reserves. 0.27 into the video shows a successful mortar strike against enemy vehicles.

Or both intercepts are done by aircrafts. Because 150 km are impossible from radar horizon standpoint even with 40m tall 40V6M mast.
If the intercepts are done via GBAD then some form of off-board targeting is necessary and Active Radar Homing missile should be used.

I forgot to mention that both videos are related to the same event where the Russians launched massive artillery strikes across the Dniepr River. To add also, I won't discount that Russian mortars are using the laser guided Gran, which can give vehicles like the Nona S, an accurate first strike capability even against moving targets.
A lot of the concepts that the Russian military conceptualized between 2008-2022 have actually been proven entirely correct.
Russian national defense strategy correctly identified that the initial period of war will strongly define the rest of the war.
Russian concepts of recon-fire, have pretty much defined this conflict. Ironically, Russia was initially very poor at executing it, but they've gotten a lot better over time. In the absence of clear air superiority, ground based fires are the fallback. I'm unsure of what lessons RuAF are taking away from this conflict, but I hope that with the emergence of new systems like Mylta, and proliferation of guided artillery rounds, RuAF have learned that mobility, speed, and precision, will trump volume.
