A Russian serviceman from the Airborne Forces repair and evacuation group told how a captured M113 armored personnel carrier of the Ukrainian army was restored. The M113 armored personnel carrier was developed in the United States in 1959 and was produced until 2007. Despite its age, various modifications of the M113 armored personnel carrier are still used by many armies around the world. Now Russia has received many Ukrainian M113 armored personnel carriers, they are restored, used by some units and tested at training grounds.

Uralvagonzavod has shown new footage of the Russian T-90M Proryv tank equipped with the Arena-M active protection system. According to media reports, the system provides multi-level protection, including against drone attacks. It is worth noting that it is unknown how the protection against drones is implemented. Perhaps the optical sensors or radiation modules installed around the perimeter of the turret record drones, among other things. How the Arena-M protection works on the tank is shown in the link to the video in the comments to the video. It is noted that T-90M Proryv tanks with the Arena-M active protection system will soon be delivered to the Russian troops.
