A few weeks ago, the first images available in the public domain of the installation of UMPC kits ("УМПК") on Russian FAB-500T bombs were published on the "Zvezda" channel.

However this is not what is interesting.
In particular, for the first time, a programme was officially announced for the integration of containerised radar reconnaissance complexes УКР-РЛ "Сыч" based on PESA side-scan radars ‘"Пика-М", capable of detecting concentrations of enemy equipment in the forests of the Kursk region and the border area at a distance of up to 150 km in the synthetic aperture mode.
Conventional infrared reconnaissance UAVs are capable of detecting no more than 15-25% of enemy vehicles well camouflaged in forests.
It should be recalled that the УКР-РЛ and УКР-РТ systems were tested on the M-55 Geofizika flying laboratory:

A few days ago, images of the UralVagonZavod assembly line were shown.
Some interesting details were seen.
The most talked about is that the APS Arena-M complex was shown on a T-72 tank. As you know, the contract for equipping the T-90M with the protection system was signed recently:
https://t.me/the_Right_People/38760
(in this link you can find the history of the system and info on how it works).
As I described in this post, in 2019 the system was also tested on the T-72B3. The model seen in the factory images seems to be a training model, to teach factory and army operators how to install/maintain/use it.
As we said, the new modification of the complex will receive an improved radar module for detecting slower approaching attack vehicles.
This is a hardware and software upgrade that will intercept not only ATGMs with speeds of up to 700 m/s, but also FPV drones and Switchblade-600 type kamikaze UAVs.
Intercepting top-attack ATGMs will require an increase in the elevation angle of the radar guidance beam from 20/50 to 70 degrees and in the guidance angle of the interceptor charges.

In another sophisticated operation, the Mossad detonated the ICOM IC-V82 VHF radio systems of Hezbollah members.
First a call, the operator normally brings the radio close to his face which then explodes.
This will have the added effect that Hezbollah will be afraid and distrustful of all their electronic devices for a LONG time. Affecting their combat capability.
Clever.

What are the ОЛС-35 optical-electronic sighting systems and UV fire sensors installed on the Su-35S capable of?
Here we have a beautiful photo of the multispectral optical-electronic sighting station OLS-35 from the Scientific and Production Corporation “Precision Instrument Engineering Systems”, as well as the nose ultraviolet upper hemisphere scanning sensor from the architecture of the attack missile detection system.
The first operates in the TV/IR ranges and detects targets such as the F-16AM in the rear hemisphere in afterburner at an altitude of 7.000-10.000m at a distance of up to 85-100 km, and in the maximum non-afterburner mode of the turbofan engine at up to 30-35 km.
This complex ensures the covert use of the R-74M, R-77-1 and R-37M air-to-air missiles without using the onboard PESA radar "Irbis-E".
The OLS-35 is also capable of detecting low-observable tactical missiles SCALP-EG and JASSM-ER in the rear hemisphere at a distance of up to 10 km and providing target designations for the above-mentioned air-to-air missiles.
The ultraviolet fire sensor detects enemy MIM-104C/D and AIM-120D SAMs and guided missiles based on the IR signatures of solid propellant rocket flares on active sections of trajectories at a distance of 50 and 30 km, respectively, notifying the crew and enabling the pilot to orient the Irbis-E radar antenna in the direction of the enemy missile for its possible interception by the R-77-1 missile.

Promising unmanned platforms-carriers of strike FPV drones began to be used in various operational areas in the combat zone.
The 4-engine UAV carriers of FPV drones can deliver them at a distance of 25-30km.
The carriers are equipped with multi-band repeaters that ensure the preservation of command and telemetry channels for controlling FPV drones and video transmission channels even after they are hidden beyond the radio horizon relative to the control station.
The use of long-range UAV carriers has increased the range of small FPV drones from 15 to 40 km.
In case of implementation of the hover mode by the UAV carrier, a fiber-optic control channel line between FPV drones and the carrier can be used.

"Рапира-3" SAM system with Tula´s 80mm "Бронебойщиком" missiles: An inexpensive and effective representative of the "Hard Kill" concept in countering enemy drones
The concept demonstrator of a promising multi-purpose complex for countering UAVs and ground targets with the multi-purpose 80mm MLRS "Rapira-3" became one of the most interesting exhibits of the "Army-2024" forum.
The combat module of the Rapira-3, mounted on the АМН-590951 Spartak MRAP chassis with a 312horsepower diesel engine, is represented by a rotating cradle with a 10-charge transport and launch guides that can move in azimuth and elevation, as well as a synchronized multispectral optical-electronic TV/IR guidance module with an additional laser rangefinder channel and a millimeter-wave radar module, ensuring all-weather capability of the complex.
The interceptor missiles used are 10x 80mm rockets of the С-8ОФП type with improved laser or remotely controlled (according to the laser rangefinder) fuses.
The effective range of the S-8OFP "Broneboishchik" missile reaches 3.5-5 km, at the same time, the lead angles are calculated by a high-performance digital ballistic computer.
In combination with millimeter-range guidance radars and remotely controlled fuses, these computers provide a high probability of intercepting small-sized FPV drones and enemy aircraft-type UAVs at a distance of 500–1500 and 2500m, respectively, with a probability of about 0.5–0.6 of one of these rockets.
The guided modifications of the 80mm missiles with the index С-8ОФП, were part of the development program of which was carried out in the late 90sby specialists of the Scientific and Technical Center of JSC "АМЕТЕХ" as part of the design of the "Threat" ("Угроза") guided aviation missile weapons system.
These rockets were equipped with semi-active laser homing heads and small-sized aerodynamic rudders on detachable warheads, which is an even more advanced solution than that implemented in the American APKWS-II URS as part of the Vampire complexes. Unfortunately, large-scale production of the 8ОФП rockets was never started in the past.

In Kursk Oblast, Northern fighters captured a Ukrainian M577 command and staff vehicle
The vehicle was created on the basis of the M113 armored personnel carrier to perform the functions of a mobile command post (tactical operations center) at the battalion level.
What secrets does the mobile headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine keep and whether the vehicle is equipped with the ATCCS (Army Tactical Information and Control System) information and control system remains to be seen.
