Military cooperation between Russia and China has reached a new level. The air group consisting of Tu-95ms strategic missile carriers of the Russian Air Force and Xian H-6K strategic bombers of the Chinese Air Force conducted air patrols over the waters of the Japan and East China Seas. Russian Su-30cm and Su-35s aircraft provided escort for the air group. For the first time in the course of joint air patrols, Russian Tu-95ms aircraft landed at an airfield in the People's Republic of China. Also, Chinese Xian H-6K bombers landed at an airfield in Russia. The landings of the Russian Tu-95s were actively filmed by the inhabitants of China, shots at the end of the video.

Video of the loading and launch of the new Russian anti-missile A-235 of the strategic missile defense system. The rocket was launched at the Sary-Shagan test site. Pay attention to the speed, the rocket leaves instantly from the starting point. A-235 Nudol missiles are designed to intercept warheads of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the missile is also capable of hitting satellites. Over time, the A-235 missile defense system will replace the A-135 Amur complex on combat duty, whose missiles are guided by the Don-2N radar and are the basis of Moscow's strategic missile defense system. The transport and launch container of the missiles is made of fiberglass. Perhaps such a quick launch of the rocket is due to the use of directed explosion technology.

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.

The Kurgan Machine-Building Plant increased the production of military equipment for the Russian army. The production of amphibious armored personnel carriers BTR-MDM "Rakushka" and armored vehicles BMP-3 has been increased. The BTR-MDM amphibious armored personnel carrier was created on the basis of the BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle and was first shown in 2015. One of the main advantages of the BTR-MDM is its versatility. The body of the vehicle is made of welded armor plates. The car weighing 13.2 tons received an engine with a capacity of 500 horsepower. The BTR-MDM can carry two 7.62mm PKTM machine guns. The crew of the armored vehicle is 2 people and up to 13 landing people. Now the Kurgan Machine-Building Plant, and other plants in Russia, have switched to a 12-hour working day, some shops have begun to work almost around the clock. Russia is gradually embarking on a military mobilization mode of operation.

Footage of the work of Russian servicemen with the Grad-P missile launcher. The 9P132 rocket launcher was launched in 1966, Grad-P was created in just 10 days at the request of the Vietnamese partisans. The installation is actually a single-barreled analogue of the Grad MLRS and is intended for guerrilla warfare. The launch tube of the installation is mounted on a tripod, it can be assembled and disassembled in 2.5 minutes and easily hidden in the forest or even buried in the ground. The launch of a 122 mm 9M 22M rocket, which is also collapsible, is carried out using a sealed remote control with a cable 20 meters long. If necessary, the 9P132 installation can launch standard Grad MLRS shells. The Grad-P system has long been discontinued, but is still in service with a number of countries. Calculation of the installation - 5 people. The range of missiles is 10800 meters.

A new way to protect Russian aircraft from homing missiles was proposed by scientists from the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics. There is no video of this, so we just explain. Scientists propose to tow decoys from metallized balls connected by cable segments behind aircraft. Balls and their diameter are selected in such a way that the decoy could imitate another aircraft, more visible to radars and missile homing systems.

Belarus received four new Tor-2MK air defense systems on the MZKT-69222 chassis. A batch of weapons was received from Russia under an agreement on military-technical cooperation. In the coming days, these air defense systems will go to the military air defense units of Belarus. To r2 MK is the Tor-M2 air defense system on a wheeled chassis. The chassis was developed by the Belarusian enterprise Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant. The air defense system includes: a 9A331MK combat vehicle, two 9M334 anti-aircraft missile modules, with eight 9M331 anti-aircraft guided missiles controlled through four channels.

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.

The Ministry of Defense showed the exercises of the Russian chemical defense troops and the use of the RHM-6 chemical reconnaissance vehicle. The RHM-6 vehicle was created on the chassis of the BTR-80 armored vehicle and entered the army in 2013. The complex of onboard equipment of the machine allows detecting signs of a chemical or biological attack, as well as detecting radiation contamination at a distance of up to 6 kilometers. Meteorological conditions are also monitored, all information is transmitted to the command post. The machine can, with the help of a special device, set flags in the infected area. The main instrument for detecting vapors of toxic and other substances is the device PKhRDD-2B. Armament machine guns KPVT caliber 14.5 mm and PKTM caliber 7.62 mm. Crew car 3 people.
