Wouldn't similar frequency and similar antenna size translate into similar gain and therefore sidelobe level?

Ideally. However sidelobe level have things related to the manufacturing quality of the antenna elements. The US initiated ULSA (Ultra Low Sidelobe Array) for the APY-1. This entails more stringent manufacturing standard, to ensure the interaction between antenna and the radome to keep the level of sidelobe very low.

Russia as manufactured the first Poseidon nuclear super torpedo ammunition for the Belgorod special-purpose nuclear submarine. As part of the tests, the crew of the Belgorod nuclear submarine of project 09852 conducted a series of tests of the Poseidon in order to check the launch system and the behavior of the submarine after launch at various depths. The nuclear power plant of the torpedoes was also tested. The Poseidon is the largest and heaviest torpedo in the world and is often used as an unmanned underwater system. With a diameter of around 2 meters and a length of 24 meters, it can dive to a depth of 1000 meters. The torpedo is equipped with a warhead with a capacity of up to 100 megatons, an explosion of such power can cause a tsunami up to 500 meters high. Some consider these torpedoes to be doomsday weapons.

The US Coast Guard spotted a Russian Project 864 spy ship near the Hawaiian Islands. The ship was seen refueling from a supply tanker. The appearance of this ship in the United States is explained by the presence in the region of the Pacific missile range Barking Sands, which is used to test Standard Missile 6 anti-missiles. Russian reconnaissance ships of Project 864 Meridian are capable of collecting "noise profiles" of surface and underwater objects, as well as conduct electronic intelligence. On board are the Profile-M, RotorS and Prokhlada radio reconnaissance systems, as well as sonar reconnaissance systems, radio communication systems and other equipment. The ship is armed with AK-306M 30-mm artillery system and Igla MANPADS. At the moment, Russia uses 7 ships of this type.

Russia has created a rocket to be launched from drones and ships
This is a transition to ultra-high speeds and hypersound, an increase in power, accuracy and speed of guidance, a decrease in size, an improvement in selectivity in target identification. in matters of selection of a real target in a jamming environment," the words of the general director of KTRV are quoted.
At the Army-2020 forum, the Russian company

for the first time showed a mock-up of the Grom heavy UAV. Together with him, several aircraft weapons from KTRV were demonstrated at the exhibition. For the first time in an open exhibition, a model of a guided missile under the designation "Product 85" was shown, a prototype of Kh-MD-E - "an interspecific multi-purpose short-range homing missile."
According to open sources, X-MD-E allows you to hit single small-sized and group targets at any time of the day. The launch weight of the rocket is 110 kilograms, the high-explosive fragmentation warhead weighs 30 kilograms. X-MD-E can hit targets at ranges up to 40 kilometers.

Footage of the use of the 152-mm D-1 howitzer by the Wagner military in Ukraine, how it turned out to be unknown to them, may have been obtained from storage.

Guess UVZ this time will only produce new T-90MS's. Before maybe in some years transitioning to Armata.

I see at least some people still think Armata is just a Tank.. which totally wrong. It's a system, with T-14, T-15 and T-16. These vehicles not only introduces new thinking but also new need to prepare the logistics and training.

The T-14 for example actually weighs just as much as baseline Leopard 2A4 Tank (55 Metric tonne) not 48 tonne, T-15 will conversely similar if not slightly heavier.
