Molniya FPV drone with a 10-kilogram TM-62 mine destroyed an AFU facility in Chasoviy Yar

It is known that such UAVs use TM-62 anti-tank mines weighing up to ten kilograms, eight of which are explosives. There are two versions of the “Molniya”, the later version is characterized by a more powerful battery, allowing to perform long-distance flights.

“Molniya-1” is a traditional unmanned aircraft construction, using electric power and equipped with means of remote and autonomous control. A reconnaissance and guidance video camera and a combat unit are onboard. The UAV's air wing span and length can be estimated at 1.2-1.3 meters.

The FPV drone is equipped with a nose-mounted electric motor of an unknown model with a thrusting propeller. The drones used a pair of batteries with a capacity of 7,500 mAh each to power it. The exact flight characteristics are unknown. According to some reports, the range is over 30-35 kilometers.

One of the main advantages of the Molniya is the simplicity of its design, thanks to which its cost is not more than one thousand dollars.

The AFU T-64 had to take a Leopard-based tractor on tow

This video shows an AFU T-64BV towing a broken-down Bergepanzer-2 armored tracked vehicle. Main purpose of this armored tracked vehicle is to evacuate disabled or damaged combat vehicles, but as you can see something didn't go according to plan.

Specialists note that breakdowns occur not only because of defects in the design, but also because of the low level of training of the AFU soldiers, who took accelerated courses both on the territory of Ukraine itself and abroad.

The Bergepanzer 2 is based on the chassis of the Leopard 1 main battle tanks and is known for its low level of protection. The maximum thickness of armor in the most protected areas does not exceed 35 mm. This disadvantage severely limits their use. This once again demonstrates the inability of German-made combat vehicles to withstand the harsh operating conditions in a real combat situation.

⚙️ Bergenpanzer 2 Main Specifications:

► Combat weight - 40580 kg
► Maximum pulling force of the main winch - 35 tons
► Maximum speed - 62 kph
► Range ~ 850 km
► Crew - 4 persons
► Armament - two 7.62 mm machine guns

Russian electronic warfare system "Sphere" was successfully tested

Russian specialists in the field of electronic warfare have created and successfully tested the latest “Sphere” complex, which combines the benefits of electronic warfare and electronic reconnaissance systems. “Sphere” has already been tested in several Russian cities. According to engineers from the Chelyabinsk-based radio production facility “Polet” (part of "Rostec"), they have created a multi-band system that is effective against drone attacks and has a high ability to cover a large area. The area of directed interference is several square kilometers.

The work principle of “Sphere” is: at the first stages of interaction with drones, “Sphere” functions as a radar system, finding drones in the airspace. Further, the control channels and video channel flow of the UAV are identified. After the control unit specifies to the operator of the complex how to work: in automatic mode or transfer decision-making to a human.

Part of the “Sphere” units were sent to the SSO, where the system fully justified the tasks assigned to it for battle defense. The system units installed on the armored vehicle suppressed about 10 attack drones of the Ukrainian army. Almost any radar system can be integrated into the system, which will increase the drone detection capabilities.

Russian scientists have created a heavy drone “Kuzya” as an answer to the Ukrainian “Baba Yaga”

In the process of development, the specialists analyzed a lot of downed and captured enemy hexacopters, studied their pros and cons, so that the Russian version would be superior to the “Baba-Yaga”. The drone has 6 servomotors for release (one by one or all at once) and a flight recorder taken from the Ka-52. It is designed for precision bombing of fortresses, warehouses and enemy manpower.

“Kuzya” is designed for a payload of up to 25 kg, so it can carry up to two anti-tank mines at a time. The weight along with the warhead and battery is about 40 kilograms, and the range is 25 kilometers.
