This is the first time I see a reference to a T-34 with a 57 mm gun. The T-34 wiki says:
reminding us that tanks were not the first target of tanks.

Irbis-E scans +- 60 degrees in horizontal electronically and that is increased to +- 125 degrees when using mechanical engine to physically turn antenna (basically it could look over the shoulder) . Vertically it should cover +- 45 degrees (no mechanical movement in this plane) .
According to some sources , Bars scans +- 70 degrees electronically and +-90 degrees with mechanical help. First number should be taken with the grain of salt .

A solemn handover ceremony dedicated to delivery of the fifth upgraded production Il-38N “Novella” aircraft to the Command of the naval aviation of Russian navy was held at the airfield of Gromov Flight Research Institute.
In the network of this upgrade the aircraft were fitted with the new “Novella-P-38” search-and-track system, which significantly expanded the vehicles combat capabilities and allowed the aircraft to carry out a wider range of missions. The aircraft was named after Chief Designer of “Novella-P-38” search-and-track system installed on the aircraft – Fedor Zolotukhin.

The first upgraded was handed over to Russian Ministry of Defense in July 2014.
“We have implemented the first state contract. The contract experienced difficulties, but the vehicles have been upgraded. This aircraft looks great and we hope that it will serve our homeland,” Ilyushin Company CEO Sergey Velmozhkin said.
In his own turn, UAC Deputy Director for Directorate of special aviation programs Valeri Vvedenski said: “Today we implemented the contract for delivery of the first five upgraded production Il-38 aircraft. And this fact sets an even more important goal for us – to help Russian Ministry of Defense put the aircraft into operation and to assure its continued airworthiness”.
The Command of the naval aviation of the Russian navy said that Il-38N aircraft are great and promising, and expressed hope that the cooperation will continue.

Its 'cloaking' technology here on Earth.
During exercises of the chemical and biological corps in the Samara region, army forces managed to make a highly critical facility invisible for a long timeperiod. It was made invisible against visual intelligence and missile detection systems. The ‘critical facility’ is a term used by specialists to describe a large military airfield, army headquarters and control bases, bridges of strategic importance, electric stations and other vital military infrastructure. These are primary targets during enemy rocket or bomb attacks. That is why armed forces continually develop new and sometimes untraditional methods of safeguarding important facilities. One such method was tested in the Samara region.
“Using the spray mixture and hydro gaseous equipment installed in vehicles on GAZ-66 base, army corps managed to spray a gas cloud on an area of two and a half kilometers which for 5 hours made the critical facility invisible to the naked eye and also for scanning in thermal and other spectra,” said the head of press service of the Central Military District, Jaroslav Roschupki, in an interview for website ‘RG’. One and a half thousand soldiers and officers took part in the test to create the cloud which concealed the important bases.
The chemical composition of the cloud has special properties. When it is dissipated the cloud merges with the atmosphere and to someone who is looking at it from a distance, it would give off the appearance of a completely empty space.
The hydro gaseous apparatus is designated TDA-2K and it can cover the ground for up to ten hours. Most importantly with this chemical it is actually possible to camouflage stationary and moving objects. Once TDA-2K is dispersed, no radar is able to detect tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery or rocket launchers, travelling up to a a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

Russia and Belarus jointly develop a new system of short-range anti-aircraft missiles with high mobility
(Defensa.com) Both governments have initiated a joint project to acquire a short-range air defense system with which to replace the Strela-10M veterans who use their land armies. This was confirmed in a recent interview by the official Russian news agency RIA Novosti, Deputy Defense Minister of Belarus Major General Igor Lotenkov. Remember that the first versions of the 9K35 Strela-10M system, designed in the early seventies of the last century, entered service within the Army of the former USSR in 1976, being a blockbuster, becoming service around 25 nations.
The 9K35 is a tracked armored vehicle mainly or wheels, riding between two and four containers of anti-aircraft missile launchers in 9M37 model origin and then of successive improved this guided missile developments. In any case the system, which NATO coding known as SA-13 Gopher, is gradually becoming obsolete. The plans of both countries to develop a substitute Strela-10M were announced last May, and possibly be based on the new Russian system Sosna, consisting of a launcher system, also mounted on a vehicle, armed with 12 anti-aircraft missiles Sosná- R, to provide a permanent capacity of short-range antiaircraft self-defense to the armored and mechanized infantry units.
Moreover, as manifested by General Lotenkov to RIA Novosti, Belarus expects the holding Russian Helicopters will deliver the first six utility helicopters, which can be armed Mi-8MTV-5 commissioned before the end of 2016 . Remember that last June, the Ministry of Defense of Belarus made a request to that Russian holding will give itself to a dozen devices of this modern version of the legendary Mil Mi-8 helicopter, which first entered service units 1967, and that there have been more than 12,000 units. Currently the first part of that batch of Mi-8MTV-5, also referred to internationally as Mi-17V-5, commissioned by Minsk, is being built at the Kazan Helicopter Plant (Russia).
