In Russia, tests of the Goliath optical-electronic reconnaissance drone have been completed. The Goliath UAV is designed to conduct aerial reconnaissance in real time, capture and track a target on command from the operator, and destroy unarmored vehicles and personnel. The drone can be adopted by tactical units and Russian security forces. The drone is controlled from a remote control developed by engineers at the Kalashnikov Concern. The drone receives and transmits data in real time, which allows it to quickly respond to changes in the situation on the battlefield. The drone has an automatic return to base function if communication is lost and is capable of operating in poor weather conditions. The Goliath drone will be equipped with a multispectral optical-electronic module operating in the IR range. The drones are supplied in transport cases of various configurations: for six or for one drone. Both types of cases are equipped with a built-in charging system. There is no technical information on the drone.

The Zerkaltse electronic warfare system for UAVs has appeared in Russia. The electronic warfare system scans video channels in flight; when an active video communication channel from another drone is detected, the system begins to suppress the signal of this frequency. In the video, you can see how the device records a signal at a frequency of 5825 MHz and weaker signals at other frequencies. The Zerkaltse electronic warfare system is designed primarily to suppress FPV drone control channels. It is reported that the electronic warfare system is effective. The Zerkaltse electronic warfare system scans about 80 channels in 5 seconds and records the most active ones, after which it begins to suppress the video stream. There is no technical data on the Zerkaltse electronic warfare system; presumably, it has a small range. The manufacturer, price, and what UAVs it is installed on are also unknown.
An episode of the transfer of "Scalpel" drones to Russian servicemen has been published. Judging by the video, the transfer took place in the Kursk region of Russia, to which units is unknown. Russian "Scalpel" drones are considered a cheap analogue of the Russian "Lancet" drone. Their tests were last shown, judging by the video, the tests are finished and the "Scalpel" drones are being delivered to the troops in small batches.
New footage of the tests of the Russian interceptor drone from Nova-Labs. Previous tests are in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The interceptor drone is equipped with machine vision and is able to independently recognize the target and aim at it. The drone performs kinetic interception of the drone, judging by the video quite effectively. There is still no technical information on the drone
