In the Primorsky Territory, Russian mobilized military personnel are mastering the BTR-82A armored personnel carriers. Particular attention in the training of crews is given to the tactics of action and the use of weapons of vehicles. The BTR-82A began to enter the army in 2011, the armored personnel carrier was armed with a 30-mm 2A72 cannon and a coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun. If the BTR-82A has all the tires punctured, then with the inflation system turned on, the car can travel 300 kilometers at a maximum speed of 40 km/h. There are about 2000 BTR-82A in service with Russia.

The best tank destroyer ATGM Khrizantema-S of Russia. Russian servicemen are being trained on Khrizantema-S self-propelled anti-tank missile systems. The combat vehicle was created on the basis of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle and was put into service in 2005. The 9K123 complex is the only combat vehicle with 2 independent missile guidance channels. ATGM "Chrysanthemum-S" can fire at once 2 targets, as it has a radar. A similar system is only on American Apache helicopters, they are equipped with a radar system operating in the three-millimeter range. The launched ATGM missile is capable of hitting targets at a distance of 400 to 5,000 meters when guided by a laser beam and up to 6,000 meters when guided by a radio channel. The combat potential of Chrysanthemum-S allows it to destroy three to five tanks alone in a surprise attack. The readiness of the complex for launch is only 20 seconds. The chassis from the BMP-3 is much more advanced in comparison with the MT-LB platform, which is used in the Shturm-S ATGM, which we talked about earlier, link in the comments. The complex can also fire at air targets. Portable ammunition ATGM 15 pieces. Crew 2 people. Range 600 km.

The Russian heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A is being modernized, the chief engineer of Omsktransmash JSC said. The Ministry of Defense announced the need to modernize heavy flamethrower systems last year, and finally decided to do this after the vehicles participated in hostilities. The tactic of using heavy flamethrower systems was originally designed as a means of support, but the vehicle was more often used on the front line due to the short missile launch distance. For TOS-1A, it is planned to adapt long-range ammunition from the new TOS-2 (Tosochki), thereby increasing the range of TOS-1A to 15 km instead of the currently available 6 km. The upgraded vehicles receive modern digital communications, as well as equipment for a closed data transmission segment, which will allow them to be integrated into automatic tactical control systems. The machine will increase the accuracy of fire and simplify targeting.

Mass production of the remote mining machine "Agriculture" has begun in Russia. We have previously shown its combat use. The machine of the engineering remote mining system "Agriculture" was developed by the Tula NPO "Splav" - the developer of all our MLRS. A four-axle KAMAZ-6560 vehicle is used as the chassis of the combat vehicle. The operation of this installation is similar to the operation of the Grad MLRS. The difference is that instead of the warhead, solid-propellant rockets with a caliber of 122 mm are installed. The estimated range of "Agriculture" is from 5 to 15 km. The missiles of the vehicle are placed in transport and launch containers, each consists of two parts of 25 missiles each. The reload time of the missiles is 3 minutes. All calculations in preparation for firing are carried out automatically. the system operator determines the main parameters of the future barrier, including the number of shells and mines in a salvo.The combat vehicle is equipped with a satellite navigation system and a computer, as well as a weather station.After the installation of mines, this area is plotted on an electronic map, demining does not need to be done manually, mines can deactivate remotely.The area of mining the installation from one salvo is about 10 football fields.The complex includes two vehicles: the combat vehicle itself and the transport-loader.

The Russian Defense Ministry showed footage of classes with mobilized military personnel. The video shows the Russian BTR-D armored personnel carrier and the Fagot anti-tank system. The BTR-D was created on the basis of the BMD-1 armored vehicle and was supposed to replace it, since the BMD-1 could only carry 5 troops. The machine was put into service in 1974 and is in service with Russia and Ukraine. Unlike many other Soviet vehicles, the BTR-D was not exported. The BTR-D can be armed with two 7.62 mm PKT machine guns, an AGS-17 grenade launcher or a 12.7 mm Kord machine gun, other weapons were also used. The crew of an armored vehicle of 3 people and 10 paratroopers is protected by aluminum armor. The machine was used in Afghanistan and has proven itself well. The range of the armored vehicle is 500 km, the speed along the highway is 60 km/h. On the basis of the BTR-D, a whole family of combat vehicles and combat support vehicles for the Airborne Forces was created.

Radar 1RL239 entered service in 1981, the radar is placed on the chassis of the MT-LBu tractor and has a crew of 4 people. In the army, this version of the radar is no longer used much, as it has been replaced by new types of radar. The installation was used in Afghanistan, but in the conditions of rough mountainous terrain it turned out to be ineffective, besides, it was difficult to ensure safety from radio wave radiation, it was not safe to be within a radius of 600 meters from the radar. Detection range of radar firing positions: mortar up to 12 km, cannon up to 9 km, RZSO up to 16 km. The time to bring the radar to the combat position is 4 minutes, the power of the radio wave emitter of the radar is 200 kW.

Video of the use of the Russian machine for setting smoke screens TDA-2M. The principle of operation of the machine is based on the evaporation of a smoke-forming substance in a stream of hot gases, followed by condensation of the resulting vapors in the atmosphere. The TDA-2M machine is placed on the Ural-4320 chassis and can be used by chemical defense troops and for aerosol disinfection of large areas. The consumption of the aerosol-forming substance is 300-800 l/h, the total volume of the tank of the active substance is 3200 l. The time of continuous smoke release with one charge is from 3 to 8 hours, the machine can put an aerosol curtain on the move, at speeds up to 30 km / h. Calculation of the installation 2 people.

Russian tanks T-14 "Armata" are being prepared for combat use in Ukraine. There is almost no information, it is known that experienced crews are now carrying out combat coordination at one of the training grounds, where it is not specified. The T-14 Armata is a command tank and will not be used alone. The approximate price of the T-14 tank is 500 million rubles. The tank was designed for coordinated work with a group of different combat vehicles in one tactical link. Most likely, the Armata tank will lead other tanks into battle, T-72B3 or T-90S.

I am not sure that Russia has electronics and optronics for Armata to be the game changer. Also probably there's no enough of them and it is doubtful that Russia can produce 100-150 of them . Anyway, let's wait and see the results

This project means that the grandson takes his grandparents to the disco. The result is frustration. Success is very difficult with T series tanks.

Tanks need hard armor and active protection system, not just coordination to survive. I think this project is a bubble and would burst quickly on the battlefield.
