Published footage of the control of the Russian robotic combat module with remote control "Arbalet-DM" installed in the armored car "Tiger" in Ukraine. The module is equipped with a 12.7 mm Kord machine gun or a 7.62 PKTM machine gun. The guidance unit has a thermal imaging camera with a laser rangefinder. In addition, the module has four smoke grenade launchers.

I'm guessing armored cars are more useful in modern warfare than main battle tanks. These can be churned out cheaply in large numbers. Main battle tanks not so much. The only saving grace for T-90 M is AT-11 long range anti tank missile.
The Russian militia conducted real tests in Ukraine of the Russian gun against LPD-801 drones from the PPSh Laboratory company. Judging by the results, the anti-drone gun really works on most popular commercial drones. The gun suppresses communication channels and data transmission from the UAV, and also suppresses navigation channels. The effective range of suppressing drones is up to 1 km, the gun is on sale, the cost at the moment is $ 19,500.
Two strategic Russian Tu-160 missile carriers completed a planned flight over the neutral waters of the Barents Sea. Escort was provided by the crews of the MiG-31 aircraft of the Air Force and Air Defense of the Northern Fleet. The flight duration was more than 7 hours.
For the first time, the work of the new Russian robotic demining vehicle "Prokhod-1" in combat conditions is shown. The complex completed state tests back in 2016, but since then there has been no news about it. The sapper robot "Prohod-1" was created on the basis of the BMR-3MA and it uses enhanced mine protection, you can also see a large number of dynamic protection elements on the vehicle's body. The robot for demining is equipped with many antennas, this is done in order to jam the control signals of radio-controlled mines. The Prokhod-1 complex is capable of operating in three modes: under the control of a crew of 2 people, remotely under the control of an operator with a command post based on KAMAZ, and in automatic mode with predetermined movement parameters. The robot creates passages in minefields 4.5 meters wide in combat conditions, even under enemy fire, and is equipped with a new TMT-S trawl to neutralize contact mines, as well as cutters that cut the wires of remote-controlled land mines.

*cries while saluting in Russian*
Russia has begun using the new Lastochka-M attack drones in Ukraine. There is no information on the new UAV. It is assumed that the drone "Swallow" is an analogue of the Skylark-1 LE made in Israel. It is only known that the "Swallows" in the course of combat use fragmentation and cumulative ammunition and they were struck by armored vehicles and manpower of the enemy. The drone is launched from a catapult and lands on an airbag. The UAV drops small-caliber ammunition adapted for use from the air. If we assume that this is a modernization of the Israeli Skylark-1 drone, then the characteristics of the Lastochka UAV will be something like this. Take-off weight 7.5 kg, payload 1.2 kg, operating time up to 3 hours, flight distance up to 40 km, application altitude up to 5000 meters. The drone uses 43 mm grenades adapted for air strikes.
Looks like they dusted off a bunch of 203 mm howitzers and 240 mm mortars. Not sure if these are still in production but they do seem to come in handy if you want to smash fortifications.
