Big whoop. They got information on some barracks close to the missile silos. Troop accomodations and toilets. And Der Spiegel is also pushing for sanctions on sales of construction materials like insulation used to build the barracks... There is only one problem. The European branded insulation (Rockwool) used is actually made in Russia, the European companies having left those factories in the hands of local Russian management.
More footage of the Russian mobile air defense group, part of the Nomad special forces unit, using laser weapons, has been published. We have already shown it before. As it turned out, Russian air defense units use the Chinese Low-Altitude Laser Defending System (LASS). The laser complex was first shown in 2021, it was presumably created by Poly arms marketing. The laser complex can be mounted on the chassis of Dongfeng vehicles, and there is also a stationary version. The power of the laser used in this complex is up to 20 kilowatts. This air defense system can hit targets at a range of up to 5 km, and the drone destruction time is up to 10 seconds. This laser complex was previously seen in Iran.
"The RFS Vladimir Andreyev can reportedly carry twice as many vehicles compared to the RFS Ivan Gren meaning that the ship can either transport 26 main battle tanks or up to six motorized companies equipped with BTR Infantry Fighting Vehicles. In reality, the most logic loadout will be three motorized companies with a single tank company and possibly a limited number of support and logistic vehicles. This would roughly translate as a naval infantry battalion without air defense or artillery support.
In terms of rotary aircraft, the RFS Vladimir Andreyev can carry up to four helicopters such as Ka-29 transport helicopters or Ka-52K attack helicopters. The helideck itself is capable of operating two helicopters simultaneously."
long read about Su-57 digital architecture. Its radar is LPI even against ground based radars and automation can do 90% work of the Pilot. officially its now 5 Plus aka 5.5G with life span of atleast 50 years.
this year they disclosed that since 2024 SU-57 is locating air defense position for Iskander and Kinzal. These are long range weopons so either Su-57 operates inside Ukraine or sensors have very long range. this capability was first deployed with Su-34.
Features of the digital architecture of the Su-57 fighter
Integration of sensor systems
The IUS-57 combines data from all of the Su-57's main sensor systems. These include the N036 Belka multifunctional radar, the 101KS-V OELS, and electronic reconnaissance and electronic warfare systems. The Sh-121 radar of the Su-57 aircraft consists of five antennas. An X-band N036-01-1 AESA, two side-looking N036B and N036B-01 AESAs, also of the X-band, are located under the nose cone. Two more N036L and N36L-01 L-band AESAs are installed in the wing tips; they are designed to detect and identify friend or foe targets.
This design solution provides the pilot with all-round visibility, and some tactical features of the aircraft's use allow it to be hidden from ground-based Doppler radars. The site "Aviation of Russia" wrote about this in one of its publications:
If necessary, the system can take control of individual subsystems, freeing the pilot from routine operations. The high degree of automation allows the Su-57 to perform up to 90% of tasks without the pilot's participation. This level of automation reduces the load on him, increases the response speed and minimizes the influence of the human factor.
Mikhail Strelets emphasizes: "We view the aircraft as a platform that can effectively solve its problems for at least 50 years. Including the gradual introduction of next-generation technologies, essentially transforming the aircraft from generation 5 to 5 plus. This is the generation in which individual sixth-generation technologies are already being introduced."

Media: Su-57 fighters are a pivotal factor in the airstrikes
The Russian newspaper "Army Diary" reported: "Once the strikes on power plants and electricity distribution nodes are over, Iskander and Kinzhal missiles arrive to strike Ukrainian air defense positions. This feature was observed in the use of the Su-57 last year, but the aircraft's role was not as pronounced at that time."
It's worth noting that the morning of January 15th saw intense airstrikes by Russian Aerospace Forces targeting enemy infrastructure. At the same time, cruise missiles hovered in the skies over Kyiv and its southwestern suburbs, as if selecting targets and provoking Ukrainian air defenses to fire. It's likely that Su-57s were also in the air, waiting for the moment when Ukrainian air defense systems would reveal themselves.
