Production of Akhmat armored vehicles increased by Russia, review. Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov announced an increase in the production of Z-STS Akhmat armored vehicles; more than a thousand new armored vehicles have already been produced. The use of serial chassis and auto components made it possible to significantly increase the production rate of these armored vehicles. Earlier, we showed the Z-STS Akhmat armored vehicle with total protection against drones, more details about it in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The Russian Z-STS Akhmat armored vehicle was developed at Remdiesel in record time in 25 days, in April 2022, and the first 5 samples were created within 2 weeks. The Z-STS Akhmat is made on the KAMAZ-5350 chassis, it has high mobility and cross-country ability. The rejection of the monocoque body in favor of a simpler frame design allowed to reduce labor costs by 7-10 times compared to the armored vehicles of the Typhoon family, which are also produced by the Remdizel plant. The production of Akhmat armored vehicles takes 7-10 times less time, and they are also cheaper. The vehicle body is made of rolled and, according to some sources, ceramic armor. It is worth noting that the Akhmat armored vehicle cannot fully replace the Typhoon armored vehicles or other vehicles. The armored vehicle can be equipped with a remote-controlled Arbalet-DM module with a thermal imager and a Kord machine gun, a 30-mm grenade launcher, or a 12.7-mm machine gun. The armored vehicle can be converted into a medical module in two hours. The V-shaped bottom of the armored vehicle can withstand an explosion of 6 kg of TNT equivalent. The armored car has an armored capsule that protects the crew from 7.62 mm bullets. The total weight of the armored car is 18 tons, it is equipped with a 260 hp engine and develops a speed of up to 90 km/h. The armored car is designed for 10 people, including the crew.

Russia is so poor why do they even need a military?
 
Kurganmashzavod sent the next batch of BMD-4M and BMP-3 combat vehicles with additional protection to the troops. In total, two batches were sent - one contained BMD-4M, and the other - BMP-3, the exact quantity is unknown. "The armored vehicles received standard sets of additional protection - armor and lattice screens from cumulative ammunition. BMP-3 received standard factory protection from drones, in the form of a visor above the turret, also called "Mangal". It is worth noting that this type of protection saves the BMP-3 crew only from drones dropping ammunition from above. Additional protection for armored vehicles is supplied complete with it and is installed in combat units, which allows for the prompt transportation of BMPs and BMDs on regular cargo platforms. As reported, Kurganmashzavod fully fulfills the plan for the delivery of equipment every month. Technical information about the equipment is available on the channel.

 
In Russia, tests of the Iskander-1000 tactical ballistic missiles with an expected range of 900 to 1300 km have begun at the Kapustin Yar test site. The missiles are supposedly planned to be deployed in the western part of Russia and Kaliningrad. Why is this being done?! The fact is that the takeoffs of MiG-31K aircraft with Kh-47M2 missiles are quickly detected by optical-electronic reconnaissance satellites, as a result of which the enemy has 15 to 20 minutes to prepare to repel the attack. When launching Iskander-1000 ballistic missiles, the warning time will vary from 2 to 7 minutes, which significantly reduces the chance of repelling a missile attack. The new Iskander-1000 missiles retain the classic layout of the 9M723-1/K5 series of missiles, but have a solid propellant charge volume increased by 15%, which increases the operating period of the missile engine. Presumably, the Iskander-1000 missiles with an octogen-based fuel charge will be able to hit targets at a range of up to 1,000 km, having a charge of 300-350 kg, for strikes at targets at a range of up to 1,300 km, the missiles will have a warhead weighing from 200 to 230 kg. In the future, the speed of the Iskander-1000 missiles may reach the values of the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles.

Ukrainian Su-24 launches SCALP-EG cruise missiles. The only footage to date of the launch of Ukrainian Strom Shadow / SCALP-EG cruise missiles developed by the French company Matra and the English British Aerospace, now produced by the European company MBDA, has been published. The SCALP-EG missiles are launched from a modernized Soviet-made Su-24MR frontline bomber. The Strom Shadow / SCALP-EG missiles have a range of about 560 km when launched from an aircraft.

 
The first two Danish F-16AM fighters have arrived in Ukraine. The aircraft were personally presented by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vasylkiv airfield, 40 km from Kyiv. The aircraft's side numbers have been obscured, but thanks to photos from the flights, they were identified as UA 80-3596 and UA 80-3599. Both Ukrainian fighters were built under license at the Belgian aircraft manufacturer SABCA, and in 1982 they were transferred to Denmark under the numbers E-596 and E-599. Denmark plans to transfer a total of 79 F-16 fighters to Ukraine. The estimated service life of the F-16A/B airframe is 8,000 hours, while all "European" F-16A/Bs have a flight time of 7,000 to 7,500 hours to date. The Ukrainian F-16 fighters are equipped with medium-range AIM-120 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles and short-range AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. The aircraft have external fuel tanks. Presumably, the F-16's task will be to support the remaining Ukrainian Su-24MR and MiG-29 aircraft, as well as launch Storm Shadow and SCALP cruise missiles. Ukrainian F-16 pilots received JHMCS helmet-mounted targeting sights, which allows the pilot to shoot where his gaze is directed regardless of the direction of the helmet. The aircraft are equipped with the Terma PIDS+ and ECIPS+ missile attack warning system, with a jamming device and the release of additional heat traps. The F-16 fighters transferred to Ukraine will be based at the Limanske airfield in the Odessa region on the border with Romania.

 
The strikes of kamikaze drones "Lancet" in Ukraine are shown quite often. The operators use the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-52", officially called "Product 52", this is the first, junior version of the drone that appeared in the Russian troops. Now kamikaze drones "Lancet-52" are able to independently target the target at the final stage of the flight, at the moment the drones "Lancet" are invulnerable to electronic warfare, there are no cases of their interception. Details of the use of drones "Lancet" in Ukraine in the video.

 
Footage of a strike by a Russian Iskander 9M723-K5 missile with a cluster warhead on a Ukrainian Buk-M1 air defense system in the Sumy region of Ukraine. The Buk-M1 air defense system was covering the entry of a Ukrainian armored group into the territory of the Kursk region of Russia. The first strike by an Iskander missile did not destroy the Buk-M1 air defense system, but the missiles launched spontaneously in the system. After the abnormal launch of the missiles, the crew of the Buk-M1 air defense system decided to hide in the forest. The start of the Buk-M1 air defense system movement can be seen after the spontaneous launch of the second missile. The movement of the air defense system was tracked by a Russian drone, after which a second strike was carried out at the location of the Ukrainian Buk-M1 air defense system, but with an Iskander missile with a conventional warhead. As a result of the strike by the Iskander missile, the Buk-M1 air defense system was destroyed.

 
Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, made in the US, will receive factory-installed "Mangal" protection. The new protection will be manufactured by Rinat Akhmetov's Ukrainian company Metinvest. Screens for Ukrainian T-64 and T-72 tanks and American-made M1A1SA Abrams tanks have also been launched into production. It is worth noting that the Russian army also uses this type of protection, equipping tanks and infantry fighting vehicles with it. This type of protection is often criticized for its appearance, but it protects equipment from being hit by FPV drones. The protection consists of lattice screens weighing about 430 kg, which protect the combat vehicle from the sides and from above. The Ukrainian version of the "Mangal" type protection will differ from the Russian one, in which the lattice screens will be sliding. How and where the sliding of the lattices is implemented is not reported.

 
Russian T-80BVM tanks have been given enhanced protection against drones. The Russian tank plant Omsktransmash has shown the process of upgrading Russian tanks taken out of storage and upgrading them to the T-80BVM version. The video shows additional enhancement of the T-80BVM tank's protection. The plant has heard the wishes of tank crews, and in addition to the standard protection against drones, in the form of a "barbecue" and gratings, protection has been added to the engine-transmission compartment. The engine-transmission compartment of the tank and its rear part are equipped with additional protection, this was the weak point of the tank, it is worth noting that many tanks do not have protection. The video shows additional gratings and layers of reinforced rubber. The tanks also have continuous protection for the guide wheels. A batch of T-80BVM tanks with the new anti-drone protection has already been transferred to the troops.

 
Tactics of the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region of Russia. Mikhail Zvinchuk, the author of the project "Rybar", published a video of the tactics of the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region of Russia. According to him, Ukrainian troops entered in small groups of three to six armored vehicles. Tactics of action, a third of the group pins down a Russian stronghold, others bypass it, entering nearby settlements and organizing ambushes on the roads, mining them.
Russian reinforcements are attacked, after which the Ukrainian group leaves the village. Thus, it seems that many villages are controlled by the Ukrainian army. Which can lead to panic and misinterpretation of the military situation on the ground.
Let me remind you that the Ukrainian army, numbering up to a thousand people, attacked the border area of the Kursk region of Russia on August 6 at 5:30 am. Military operations in the Kursk region continue, the Russian army is pulling in reserves.

 
Testing of the Russian Army's kamikaze drone KUB. Footage of testing the Russian loitering munition "KUB" by ZALA AERO. Technical information about it is in the link to the video in the comments to the video. Drone "KUB" "KUB" has been actively used since 2022, it was presented in 2019. The new high-explosive fragmentation warhead of the drone "KUB" uses an explosive substance octogen, also known as HMX or OKFOL, which is 1.7 times more powerful than trinitrotoluene. The drone is launched from a catapult and can self-destruct after falling if you approach it. The weight of the drone is from 10 to 15 kg, the price of the drone "KUB" is still unknown.

 
The correct article, but at the same time it is funny how the author is obliged to start with the words: "Vladimir Putin's decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a monstrous act of aggression that has plunged the world into a perilous situation..."
After these words, the whole article tells why this attack was justified, but the tribute to the "free, thinking media" was given. :)
No , Putin realized how weak Russia was now it's alone and wanted to recreate the Soviet Union in part. Realizing the things Russia needed to be better positioned in the world and siezing upon the trouble spots they created in the first place.
 
It is important to realize that there is no "Russian military aggression". There is a Special Military Operation to denazify and demilitarize the Ukrainian state. In 2014, Kiev's coup Nazis sent a regular army to kill civilians in Donbas. Everything else is just a consequence.
 
The Ukrainian army has published footage of the entry of military units into the Kursk region of Russia on August 6. The video shows a battle with a Russian stronghold and shows destroyed Ukrainian equipment and a military medical service vehicle. The Ukrainian army is bringing up reserves, and the Russian army is doing the same. In the video, you can also see the evacuation of a Ukrainian VAB armored personnel carrier in the Kursk region and the evacuation of an International Maxxpro armored vehicle by an M88A2 Hercules repair and recovery vehicle. In some cases, the evacuation is carried out without hindrance. The Ukrainian army has begun to dig in in the Kursk region and is bringing up heavy equipment. According to experts, if the situation does not change within a week, the fighting will turn into a positional war and will drag on for a long time. Against this background, rumors have emerged about the need for a new wave of mobilization in Russia, officials deny its necessity. But according to experts, the 1,500 km long front line, the entry of Ukrainian troops into the Kursk region and the threat to the Bryansk region indicate that there is a shortage of 700,000 personnel, especially units with drones.
