I think the fact we have barely seen any R-27 use its a net gain, those things stuck around way too long.

New batch of "Solntsepyok" with drone protection sent to the troops
The Uralvagonzavod Concern has delivered another batch of heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" to the Russian army. The vehicles received a modernized UAV protection system developed based on combat experience.
"Use in combat operations is the most effective step towards improvement, which we continuously pursue. Our main goal is to increase the effectiveness of the TOS under emerging modern threats. The engineers and designers of the Concern are constantly improving the "Solntsepyok", enhancing its characteristics," said Dmitry Semizorov, Deputy General Director for Special Equipment of the Uralvagonzavod Concern.
Testing of the modernized version of the TOS based on the T-80 tank is already nearing completion. This modification introduces a number of improvements that provide greater range, accuracy, and automation of processes.
The TOS-1A remains one of the most effective examples of modern Russian weaponry, with no direct analogues.

The aim-7 sparrow is still in use too... but like the R-27, you are the target in the shooting range if its the best BVR missile you carry.
Uralvagonzavod Concern delivered a batch of TOS-1A Solntsepek combat vehicles to the Russian Armed Forces. This batch of TOS-1A Solntsepek vehicles is equipped with a new anti-drone system. Rostec reported that this system remains one of the most effective modern Russian weapons systems, with no direct equivalents. It's worth noting that the specific anti-drone system used was not disclosed.
The TOS-1A Solntsepek combat vehicles are based on the T-72 tank chassis. Their firing range can vary from hundreds of meters to 15 kilometers when using TOS-2 (Tosochka) ammunition. A full salvo from the TOS-1A Solntsepek can cover an area of up to 40,000 square meters.

Probably have a high tech barn attachment and drone frequency ECM.

Is this like the FK3000's micro missiles?
The system combining the T-72 chassis with the TOS-2 launcher is called the TOS-3. You can't fire TOS-2 ammunition without this launcher as it is longer, with wider and fewer tubes compared to the TOS-1A launcher, and the larger, longer ranged rocket will only fit on this. However the smaller TOS-1A rockets will not fit properly into this launcher.
I kinda doubt the TOS-1A is still being produced. The production should have shifted to the newer larger and longer ranged rocket system with the TOS-2 for the truck base and the TOS-3 for the track base.
that micro missile is part of Pantsir system and its separate radar has 100km range and netcentric operations. and tracked version for field when radar range increase this much it gives more time to prepare against saturated attack. Every thing works in network of aviation but also has its own powerful radar.
North Korean Army personnel have returned to Russia's Kursk region, according to military correspondent Alexander Kots. Soldiers of the Korean People's Army, along with Russian sappers, are participating in mine clearance operations in the border area of Russia's Kursk region. The DPRK sappers are also undergoing additional training at training centers of the Russian engineering troops. Russian sappers have organized specialized training for their Korean counterparts, including Russian language instruction for professional communication. The Russian Uran-6 and Stalker-IV robotic systems are being used for mine clearance operations; a review of these systems is available in the video's link and comments. The sappers also use the OVR-2-02 combined arms mine clearance kit and IMP-3 metal detectors. A three-tier inspection system is in place, with two more waves following the first. It is currently unknown how long the North Korean sappers will remain in Russia's Kursk region.
