As part of the recent Russian naval exercises "July Storm", we publish unique footage of the use of the Tor-M2KM air defense system on a Russian corvette. In the video, the Tor-M2KM air defense system is located on the deck of the Viktor Velikiy patrol ship of Project 22160. The ships of this project were initially built without air defense systems, but the installation of the Tor-M2KM air defense system improved the protection of these ships. The video shows how the Tor-M2KM air defense system shoots down an Kh-35 anti-ship missile. Construction of Project 22160 ships has been discontinued.

The Russian Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies "Rubicon" has begun to form units with sea drones. We recently showed the declassified tests of sea drones during the "July Storm" exercises. Since there is practically nowhere to use sea drones now, it can be assumed that unmanned boats are being created to destroy maritime infrastructure, ports and ships located in them. According to Ukrainian experts, the Rubicon center can already organize group work of up to 400 sea drones. It is not yet clear what sea drones will be used, one of them looks like a modified sea drone "Orkan", it was shown earlier

The lead patrol icebreaker Ivan Papanin of Project 23550 was delivered to the Northern Fleet of Russia. The flag-raising ceremony on the ship took place at the Northern Fleet base in Severomorsk. The ships of Project 23550 were developed by JSC Almaz Central Marine Design Bureau and have no analogues in terms of the combination of technical characteristics. Three more ships of this type are currently under construction. The patrol icebreaker is capable of breaking through ice 1.7 meters thick. The ship can be used as a tugboat, icebreaker and combat ship, it can escort and tow detained ships and perform other tasks. The ship is armed, depending on the modification, with Igla or Verba MANPADS, a 76.2-mm AK-176MA artillery mount. Up to four 12.7-mm Kord machine guns and two 30-mm AK-630M artillery mounts can be installed. The ship can be equipped with Kalibr-K, Kalibr-NK, Onyx or Zircon missiles. It is possible to base a Ka-27 or Ka-226 helicopter, a UAV and two boats. The full displacement of the military icebreaker is 8.5 thousand tons, the speed is up to 18 knots (33.3 km/h), the endurance is 70 days, the cruising range is up to 12,000 miles. The crew is from 60 to 110 people.

The Novgorod Scientific and Production Center "Ushkuynik" has developed the first marine drone in Russia and in the world, controlled via fiber optics. The marine drone is currently being tested in the Black Sea Fleet, taking into account its specifics. Let me remind you that Russia began to use them successfully in the Black Sea. An unmanned boat on fiber optics can be used as a kamikaze drone or transport FPV drones. Estimated technical data, the speed of the marine drone is up to 50 km / h while transporting up to 300 kilograms of cargo.

Russian landing in the Arctic. A detachment of warships of the Northern Fleet, performing long-range missions in the Arctic Ocean, conducted a tactical exercise to land an amphibious assault on an unequipped Arctic coast. The amphibious assault landed on the coast of Alexandra Land Island, part of the Franz Josef Land archipelago. The large anti-submarine ship Severomorsk of Project 1155 is used in the exercise. The amphibious assault landed from the landing ship Alexander Otrakovsky of Project 775. The exercise uses UR-77 self-propelled mine-clearing rocket launchers and two-link all-terrain vehicles with marines. Ka-27PS helicopters and other equipment

Footage from the first close-up shot in Russia of the Ukrainian Magura-V5 marine drone, equipped with FPV drones. The unmanned boat was discovered on September 24 off the coast of the Russian city of Tuapse. The Magura-V5 drone is based on a Chinese jet ski; a review of the drone is available on this channel. The marine drone is controlled via Starlink and Kymeta satellite communications channels. A mobile network can also be used for coastal control; the drone is equipped with a router. Containers for launching FPV drones controlled via fiber optics are installed onboard. Judging by the coils, the FPV drones have a control range of approximately 15 kilometers. Russian specialists have already begun studying the marine drone.
