Video footage of a Russian modernized T-72B3 tank has surfaced. The T-72B3 modification was developed in 2011 as a mass-produced and economical alternative to the main T-90A tank. The main changes in the tank during modernization, the Sosna-U sight and modern digital communication systems were installed, the A3 automatic loader was modernized for new shells and the 2A46M-5 gun was modernized. A weather sensor, a thermal imager, displays and a modern ballistic computer were installed, an automatic target tracking device (ATS) was introduced. The installed French thermal imagers were later replaced by Russian ones. In 2016, the tank was upgraded to the T-72B3M version.
Overview of Russian military robots Platform-M. Robots of the "Platform-M" series can be used by Russia, they began to be noticed at Russian training grounds. The combat robot "Platform-M" was first introduced in 2015, the robot was created as a multifunctional platform. The robot is capable of carrying both weapons and reconnaissance and engineering equipment, as well as acting as transporters. The robot is armed with four AGS-30 grenade launchers and a 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun with 400 rounds of ammunition, as well as the Kornet ATGM, this is one weapon option. For reconnaissance, the robot uses the Fara radar, a thermal imager, a range finder and video cameras. The robot can be equipped with devices for detecting various substances and a mine sweep. Robots "Platform-M" were used in the fighting in Syria, but there is no data on their effectiveness. The robot weighs 800 kg, is armored according to the 3rd protection class and is driven by two 6.5-kilowatt motors. The payload of the robot is up to 300 kg. The robot moves on rubber tracks and can work autonomously for up to 10 hours at a distance of up to 1500 meters.
Overview of the military automotive kitchen PAK-200M of Russia. Footage of the work of the Russian military field kitchen PAK-200M has been published. The PAK-200M field car kitchen has been produced since 2107 and is placed on the Kamaz 5350 chassis. A feature of the PAK-200M is its mobility - you can cook food both in the parking lot and on the move. Two field kitchen chefs can feed 200 people with three types of dishes. The kitchen has 80 liter cooking pots and two 150 liter pots. Boilers are heated with kerosene, diesel fuel or wood. The kitchen can produce 100 liters of boiling water and 150 liters of soup in an hour. The kitchen is equipped with a two-chamber refrigerator and two cabinets. The kitchen has two working tables, a tub for washing products, a vegetable cutter, a meat grinder and other mechanisms. PAK-200M kitchen water heating time up to 95 degrees 70 minutes, diesel fuel consumption 12 kg per hour, boiling water tank capacity 350 liters. Currently, the Russian army operates about 10 thousand field kitchens of various modifications.
The 152-mm 2S18 "Pat-S" self-propelled artillery system is being upgraded on the modified chassis of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle. This was reported in Kurganmashzavod, part of the High-Precision Complexes of Rostec State Corporation, on May 20.
"The SPG is being upgraded on the basis of a modified BMP-3 chassis. These vehicles, equipped with a 120-millimeter gun (experimental design work "Vienna") and a 152-millimeter gun, can significantly increase the efficiency of motorized rifle units, "the company told RIA Novosti.
2S18 "Pat-S" is an experimental 152-mm howitzer developed in 1980 at the Kurgan Machine-building Plant.
2S31 Vena/Vienna (pic related) 120-mm entered service with Azerbaijan and Venezuela around 2010, the Russian army never showed any interest in the vehicle.
It is clear that the Russians have taken a liking to front-line artillery, as with roaming mortar, etc.
It is a good way of adapting the Russian taste for artillery to the particularities of the conflict. I imagine that this vehicle will cover that role of indirect fire from a closed position, the same as the T-55 or T-62, as do the normal BMP-3s from what you see in videos.
The photo is not a 100mm.There are pictures of the original 2S18 Pat-S prototype. So there is no need to use a picture of the 100mm mortar.
It's a 120mm, a 2S31 Vena to be exact.
Since the source talks about 120/152mm I thought it was appropriate, as the 2S31 Vena is itself a Pat-S iteration for 120mm and therefore will probably enter the Russian army with few modifications except for the chassis.
The clip features a Krasnopol type shot for the Tulip. The Tulip does incorporate its own Krasnopol variant for it's 240mm mortar shell, a must for a system with a slow one round per minute rate of fire.
Some footage of the Malka or Pion artillery spg. It's possible it popped an ammo depot in Kherson, and my guess, using a laser guided Krasnopol shell.
A Krasnopol shot from a Malka destroyed a Ukrainian personnel truck. The Malka or Pion appears to have a Krasnopol variant for it's 203mm shell, and like the Tyulpan, they need it due to their slow rate of fire at 2 to 3 rounds per minute.
You can see two BMPs here shooting away with their 30mm guns. I won't discount these weapons, they are turning very useful indeed.
Russian FPV drone called 'Vampire'.
