Russia has not let up with a military build-up along the border with Ukraine and deployed to border areas its 203-mm self-propelled guns, that could fire tactical nuclear shells.

Social media users posted videos showing 2S7 Pion self-propelled artillery guns at Vesela Lopan, Belgorod region, just 17 kilometers (10 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

Some experts said that this ic could be an upgrade version of an artillery system, called 2S7M “Malka”.

The 2S7 self-propelled gun, known popularly as the “Soviet atomic cannon”, can carry up to four 203 mm nuclear shells that could eliminate targets at a range of 37.5 km.
According to GlobalSecurity.org, 2C7 “Peony” is designed to suppress and eliminate nuclear weapons (SJA), artillery, mortars, equipment, rear, command posts, enemy manpower.

The main purpose of this self-propelled gun, which went into operation in 1975, was the suppression of enemy rear lines, the destruction of particularly important nuclear weapons and facilities in tactical depths up to 50 kilometers away.

The 2S7 ‘Pion’ self-propelled gun developed in the 1980s and still considered as one of the most powerful cannons in the world.

On top of that, Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday warned a nuclear war could break out if Ukraine joins NATO and accused the West of ‘complete disregard for our concerns’ hours after talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Moscow.

Ukraine has those too. It's going to end up a game of "who can disable the other guy's artillery first" since the Pion is designed to be mobile enough to avoid quick counter-battery fire.

Yes but Ukraine lacks nuclear rounds for it. Not surprising that Russia deploys them after Putin's nuclear war threat.

Developers of the robot cosmonaut "Fedor". We have started testing the autonomous security robot "Marker". The Marker robotic platform began to be tested at the Russian Vostochny Cosmodrome. During the run-in of the security robot, autonomous patrolling of security routes, identification and interception of violators, counteraction to terrorist attacks and the fight against drones are practiced.

A video has appeared on the Network showing the operation of the remote mining engineering system "Agriculture".
The salvo of the "Agriculture" system was captured near Kharkov. The video shows the moment of remote installation of minefields. The operation of this installation is similar to the work of the Grad MLRS. The difference is that instead of the warhead of a 122 mm rocket, they carry cassettes with mines. After the installation of mines, this territory is plotted on an electronic map, there is no need to carry out mine clearance manually, mines can be remotely deactivated. With the help of the system in particularly dangerous directions, it is possible to mine the territory at a distance of 5 to 15 km.

Robot "Uran-6" - an armored robotic tracked vehicle, began to destroy mines and other explosive objects in Ukraine and Donbass, without endangering the life and health of people. Despite its size, Uran-6 is capable of towing even a 40-ton tank. The main task of the sapper robot is to make passages in minefields and quickly clear mine areas. The cleanliness of minesweeping is about 95%. The robot is designed to clear mines weighing from 100 grams to 4 kg and can move at a maximum speed of 5 km / h, making continuous sweeping about 1.6 meters wide. Reservation of the robot allows you to withstand the explosion of even an anti-tank mine. The control of the Uran-6 robot is remote. In open areas, the operator can be from him at a distance of up to 800 meters. The robot is able to overcome a wall up to 1.2 m high. The weight of the demining robot is about 7 tons.

Nice. Hopefully the Russians will deploy these to help clear mine fields in former conflict zones.

Well not too far from the time this one loosing the turret

Amazing how massive tanks are and how maneuverable and agile they can be. I see them wizzing around the cities and stuff, the Russians are having too much fun.

The UR-77 "Meteorite" mine-clearing installation, also known as the "Snake Gorynych", was created on the basis of the 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzer and is designed to make moves in anti-tank minefields during the battle. The UR-77 "Meteorite" installation, with the help of rockets, fires powder charges placed in hoses at a distance of about 500 meters. Demining is carried out by the occurrence of a shock wave from the explosion of the charge, which affects the mine fuse. However, complete clearance is not guaranteed. So, for example, mines with double-click fuses (TM-62 mine with an MVD-62 fuse or Mk7 with fuse No. 5 Mk4), anti-personnel mines of tension action can remain intact. Magnetic, seismic and infrared fuses do not respond to the blast wave. Demining charges are used as the main armament. One installation is capable of carrying two charges. One charge clears a rectangle with sides of 90x6 meters in a minefield.

The work of the Russian portable ground reconnaissance radar "Fara-VR" in combat conditions in Mariupol. The video shows how the operator on the remote control marks the targets and directs the tankers and the crew of the BMP at him, who alternately fire at the targets. The radar is intended for reconnaissance of moving ground targets and transmission of target designation. Detected targets are displayed on the screen, you can even notice when a person just leaned out of the window. The "Fara-VR" station is able to detect a moving truck at a distance of up to 10 kilometers, a tank up to 8 and a person at a distance of up to 4 kilometers. The complex is capable of scanning the area itself and aiming automatic small arms and grenade launchers at the target. The mass of the portable reconnaissance radar station "Fara-VR" is 12 kilograms, you can install and start working in just 3 minutes. The time of continuous operation of the radar from a set of standard batteries is 12 hours.

The newest 2021 Russian bouncing anti-tank mines PTKM-1R appeared in Ukraine. The mine is designed to destroy armored vehicles in the upper hemisphere. When the target approaches 50 m, the seismic sensor of the mine issues a command to shoot the combat element. The combat element moves along a ballistic trajectory, its sensors, thermal and radar, begin to scan the earth's surface. After detecting the target, the warhead is undermined and hits enemy equipment from above in the most vulnerable parts - the roof, turret and hull. Mines weight 20 kg

I saw this on Saker, very interested stuff. I can do this myself because I am neuro-divergent, but its impressive the Russians have this technology.

The Msta-S is a self-propelled gun with the largest cannon in the Russian army. The self-propelled guns were created on the basis of the T-72 tank, a welded turret was installed on the shoulder strap. The length of the body is 6 meters, the width is 3 meters 40 centimeters. The combat vehicle is divided into three sections: control, combat and power (motor-transmission) sections. Crew - 5 people. In front of the body of the self-propelled guns there is a driver's seat. On the starboard side of the turret is the seat of the gun commander, on the left side of the gunner, and behind them are the seats of two loaders. Armor - homogeneous, steel. One of the key roles in the work of Russian artillery in Ukraine is assigned to the 152-mm Msta-S self-propelled artillery mount. At an arms exhibition in 1993 in Abu Dhabi, Msta-S hit 38 out of 40 targets at a distance of 15 km. The unit has been modernized several times, in Ukraine the 2S19M1 and 2S19M2 versions are now used. According to the gunners, "Msta-SM2" proved to be excellent in the battles in Ukraine. The firing range of self-propelled guns with a conventional projectile is 25 km; active-reactive - up to 29 km, self-propelled guns ammunition 50 shells. Rate of fire 10 rounds per minute.
