The Russian army has begun using the latest Irbis counter-battery radars. The station was developed in complete secrecy. Now there is no information or video on the Irbis station, the station is camouflaged and the radar is not shown. Reportedly, the Irbis station is better than previous models and can operate at a range of up to 150 km, while detecting even FPV drones; when they are detected, they turn on electronic warfare and use shotguns. The Irbis station records cannon and rocket artillery fire and transmits data to artillery units. The station can also record air targets, including UAVs. The station is housed on a Kamaz-6350 chassis and is equipped with an armored capsule that protects the crew from fragments.

The first footage of the use of the new Russian radio intelligence complex "Thorn-MDM", an interview with the operator at the end of the video. "Thorn-MDM" entered service with the Russian army in 2019, there is very little information about it. The Torn-MDM radio reconnaissance complex is designed to search, analyze and record signals in the range from 1.5 to 3000 MHz, as well as direction finding and goniometric location determination of their sources located at a distance of up to 70 kilometers. Once installed, the antennas of the complex operate automatically around the clock. A special feature of the Thorn complex is the ability to intercept not only radio communications, but also cellular communications and instant messengers used on phones. The Torn-MDM complex can be produced in both mobile and stationary versions. The Thorn-MDM complex consists of a hardware machine on a Kamaz chassis and a rigging machine.

Footage of the Russian mobile radio relay station R-419L1, which was put into service in 2018, the station is manufactured at the A.S. Popov Radio Plant. The R-419L1 communication station is mounted on the KAMAZ 4350 chassis and is designed to organize communications as part of field communication systems at the tactical and operational levels. The radio relay station provides interference-proof communication in analog, digital and mixed modes; this type of communication is significantly better protected in terms of radio suppression and radio interception. The R-419L1 communication station provides communication on lines up to 120 km long in the 390-645 MHz range, in digital modes up to 400 km and up to 1500 km in the 1550-1850 MHz range. The maximum information transfer rate is 8.448 Mbps. The R-419L1 communication station has two onboard AD4-T400-1VM2 power units and operates autonomously for at least 48 hours without replenishing fuel and water supplies. The deployment time of the communication station is 25 minutes, the mean time between failures is at least 20,000 hours, and the service life is at least 15 years. The R-419L1 communication station is serviced by 4 people. Details in the video.
