Russia continues to modernize its missiles. The P-800 Oniks supersonic cruise missile, part of the Bastion coastal missile systems, has been modernized by Russia. The new version of the Onyx missile has received more technologically advanced homing heads that are capable of attacking enemy targets more effectively, striking with a minimal deflection angle. Work is also underway to ensure the invulnerability of Onyx missiles to electronic warfare. Reportedly, the new characteristics of the missiles have already been confirmed during their tests. P-800 Onyx missiles were originally intended to destroy enemy ships, but thanks to innovations they have become an effective means of attacking ground targets. The Onyx anti-ship missile was developed back in the 80s of the last century, but entered service only in 2002. One complex with four Bastion launchers is capable of defending a coastline over 600 km long. The missile's flight range is up to 600 kilometers; the modernized version of the Oniks-M missile is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 800 kilometers. Onyx missiles are in service with surface ships and submarines of the Russian Navy, are used in Bastion coastal missile systems, and are also silo-based.

The field bathhouse was manufactured by the Vyazemsky Machine-Building Plant and is intended for washing military personnel in the field outside their permanent deployment points. The field bath consists of several compartments, a dressing room, a washing compartment, an aggregate compartment with a diesel and heating unit, a boiler compartment and compartments for storing clean and dirty linen. Detailed technical information on the screen. The PPB-32 VU field bathhouse in the basic configuration allows 32 military personnel to wash themselves within an hour, the water consumption per person is 10 liters, the water supply in the bathhouse is 5000 liters. The sauna can be deployed in 90 minutes in winter and an hour in summer and can operate for 8 hours without refueling. The bathhouse is serviced by 2 people.

Footage of work in Ukraine, a Russian drone with a target designation system. The operator, in real time, selects targets on video from the drone and transmits data with coordinates to artillery units. Judging by the video, the software package loads Google maps and is used to link to the area. The video shows artillery, presumably a mortar, being aimed at a Ukrainian BMP-2.
After being hit by one of the mines, the BMP-2 leaves the battlefield. The drone model and what kind of software it is are not reported.

The Russian remote-controlled combat module "Dym-2" was proposed to be installed on armored vehicles to protect them from drones. Alexander Rogatkin reported this. The Dym-2 robotic combat module was first reported in 2020; it was developed by the ALFA-PRIBOR company and is intended to protect the launch positions of Yars ballistic missiles. The robot guard can work according to operator commands or act fully automatically. It is proposed to additionally equip the Dym-2 combat modules with radars and install them on armored personnel carriers; how this could be implemented is not reported. The module is large enough, it is more convenient to use it for guarding objects or protecting ships. The controlled combat module "Dym-2" is equipped with a camera, thermal imaging sight, loudspeaker and monitor. Armament, 8 salvo blocks, each block contains 10 machine gun barrels of 5.45 caliber, the rubber plug is knocked down by the first blank cartridge when fired. The installation also has 12 guides for grenade launchers. Typically, the combat module "Dym-2" is used to protect objects of the highest category.

The crew of the Russian T-72B tank showed homemade protection against drones. Currently, there is no full-fledged factory protection of Russian tanks from drones; the rear part of the tanks is especially vulnerable, so tank crews are forced to install the protection themselves. The tank's turret does not rotate, since it is designed to operate from indirect firing positions, like an artillery mount.

A Russian mechanic shared his impressions of the first captured Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle, Marder 1A3, made in Germany. The Marder infantry fighting vehicle was adopted by Germany in 1971, Ukraine received the Marder 1A3 infantry fighting vehicle, this is a modification from 1989, with increased armor by 1600 kg, technical information about it is on the channel. According to the mechanic, due to the lack of lugs on the tracks, instead of them there are rubber pads, as well as the weight, the Marder 1A3 infantry fighting vehicle is suitable for use only on hard-surfaced soils.

No one can prove Russia has lost an A-50 in January. Also, Sea of Azov is an extremely shallow sea(5-10M at 70% of the area), It is impossible that no debris has been found or seen by the satellites.

They did in late March.

3月23日,俄方还举行了第37号A-50阵亡机组的纪念仪式。2024.1.14,第37号A-50在亚速海上空坠毁,8名机组人员全部身亡。纪念仪式上也公开了机组人员的信息,包括1名中校、2名少校、3名大尉和2名高级中尉。
至此,两架损失的A-50及阵亡的机组人员身份都已经得到确认。两架A-50均来自驻地为伊万诺沃州塞韦尔尼机场的第 610 飞行人员战斗使用和再培训中心。
PS:看到有资料说A-50作战时,一般有15 名左右的机组人员和电子战专家,但目前公开的两架A-50阵亡者名单似乎都是第610中心的机组。不知A-50只依靠8-10名机组成员,能否满足作战需要,还是说其中已经包括了电子战专家?

On March 23, Russia also held a memorial ceremony for the 37th A-50 crew member killed in action. On January 14, 2024, A-50 No. 37 crashed over the Sea of Azov, killing all eight crew members. The information of the crew members was also disclosed at the memorial ceremony, including 1 lieutenant colonel, 2 majors, 3 captains and 2 senior lieutenants.
At this point, the identities of the two lost A-50s and the dead crew members have been confirmed. Both A-50s came from the 610th Combat Use and Retraining Center for Airmen based at Severny Airport in Ivanovo Region.
PS: I saw some information saying that the A-50 usually has about 15 crew members and electronic warfare experts during combat, but the two lists of A-50 casualties currently disclosed seem to be crew members of the 610th Center. I wonder if the A-50 can meet combat needs with only 8-10 crew members, or does it already include electronic warfare experts?
