Images of French AASM-250 Hammer bombs being dropped from a Ukrainian MiG-29 piloted by Captain Alexander Migulya, who was shot down on 12 August and KIA.
One good thing about the Hammer is that they have their own propulsion system, i.e. they are more missile than free-fall bombs, so that the aircraft can fly low, and rise only at the right moment of launch, giving extra thrust to the weapon when released at the last moment of a parabolic trajectory.
This minimises radar exposure time, while limiting the range and versatility of the aircraft weapons.
In any case, this time the enemy was unsuccessful, and was hunted down by our aircraft, it is not clear whether it was the Su-35 or the Mig-31 that scored the hit. There does seem to be a consensus on the use of long-range AA missiles R-37. He was KIA over Odessa region.

Satellite images of the aftermath of the kamikaze drone strike at the Marinovka airfield in the Volgograd region.
As you can see, the drones that arrived were loaded with shrapnel, and there were aircraft inside the light hangars at the time of the strike.
It appears that none of the 100% destroyed hangars had aircraft in them, which detonated in the ammunition/fuel stores, but it is still likely that the aircraft suffered light to medium damage, even severe if vital parts were hit.
Mobile drone hunting groups are able to deal with UAVs to a large extent. But we know that the enemy is preparing to increase the use of long-range precision weapons.
After more than 900 days of the NO war, but Special Military Operation, no hangars have been built.
In fact, these light hangars were built by volunteers and paid for privately by a businessman, as we said on June 2nd when they were first seen:

Construction technique "Monolithic Dome" which appeared at the same time in the West and in fact came to be used by avant-garde and extravagant people in their houses. The technique is sometimes used in industry. In these pictures we can see the scheme. …
Construction process:
1 - Foundation: The Monolithic Dome starts as a concrete ring foundation, reinforced with steel rebar. Vertical steel bars embedded in the ring later attached to the steel reinforcing of the dome itself. Small domes may use an integrated floor/ring foundation. Otherwise, the floor is poured after completion of the dome.
2 - An Airform, fabricated to the proper shape and size is placed on the ring base. Using blower fans, it is inflated and the Airform creates the shape of the structure to be completed. The fans run throughout construction of the dome.
3 - Polyurethane foam is applied to the interior surface of the Airform. Entrance into the air-structure is made through a double door airlock which keeps the air-pressure inside at a constant level. Approximately three inches of foam is applied. The foam is also the base for attaching the steel reinforcing rebar.
4 - Steel reinforcing rebar is attached to the foam using a specially engineered layout of hoop (horizontal) and vertical steel rebar. Small domes need small diameter bars with wide spacing. Large domes require larger bars with closer spacing.
5 - Shotcrete, a special spray mix of concrete is applied to the interior surface of the dome. The steel rebar is embedded in the concrete and when about three inches of shotcrete is applied, the Monolithic Dome is finished. The blower fans are shut off after the concrete is set.

Flight test of a Russian MS-21 medium-range narrow-body passenger aircraft.
Considering that before the end of the year there was talk of the start of testing of two 100% Russian prototypes, it is likely that these are the ones in question.
https://www.ixbt.com/news/2024/08/05/21-2024-20.html
The MS-21 started production long before 2022, but at that time Russia had access to the international market, so the aircraft included foreign components, including engines.

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.

The Su-35S patrolling aircraft and missile-hazardous operational areas in the SMO zone. The first to appear in the frame is the key "asset" in ultra-long-range air "duels" and interceptions, the R-37M ultra-long-range air-to-air missile, placed on two central under-fuselage suspension units.
These air-to-air missiles, with a maximum flight speed of up to 6M and a mid-trajectory speed of about 4M, have an effective range of about 230 km when launched from an altitude of 8.000-10.000 m and 180-200km when launched from an altitude of 3.500-5.000m when intercepting medium-altitude targets. The maximum speed of targets hit by the R-37M can also reach 5.5-6M. The interception range of high-altitude, low-maneuverability targets (such as AWACS) is up to 280-300 km when launched from an altitude of 10,000+ m.
The missile can intercept radio-emitting targets in the HOJ mode.
We also see highly maneuverable R-77-1 air-to-air missiles with a maximum effective range of 110–60 km, depending on the launch altitude and the target’s operating altitude.
It is also possible to pay attention to the presence of the Kh-31PD anti-radar missile on the suspension unit, which indicates the possibility of striking enemy radars operating on radiation mode.
Meanwhile, the large RCS of this missile (about 0.2 sq. m) automatically turns it into an easy target, and therefore their number during a strike on a single battery of the enemy SAM should be 10+ units.

The AGM-154 JSOW guided air bombs supplied to the Ukrainian Air Force as part of the new military-technical "package" have a range of 130 km when released from their suspension units at altitudes of 10,000+ m and 22-25 km when dropped in low-altitude pitching mode.
Consequently, the Su-27S/F-16 of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will still be forced to enter the range of the R-37M ultra-long-range air-to-air guided missiles used by the crews of the 4++ generation Su-35S, Su-30SM2 fighters and MiG-31BM interceptors. Consequently, the effectiveness of stopping an attack with these air bombs will be determined by the regular patrolling of the above-mentioned Russian Aerospace Forces vehicles in the operational areas, as is the case with the GBU-39/B. In addition to all ground-to-air systems.
Unlike the Storm Shadow missiles, the standard versions of the JSOW do not have turbojet twin-circuit engines, and therefore do not have any infrared signature. Consequently, its detection and capture by the automatic tracking system of the 10ES1 optoelectronic module of the Pantsir-S1 complex will be excluded. Detection, tracking and capture will be carried out only by the 1РС2 "Шлем" radar.
The weapon has a number of variants, ranging from cluster munitions to bunker busters.
It is currently unknown whether Kiev will receive a modification of the AGM-154E with a turbofan engine and a range of 480-500 km, but for the moment, seems unlikely.

Azerbaijan is a member of the club of countries operating aeroballistic missiles.
Demostrated here is the JF-17 Block III with the missile CM-400AKG on hardpoints
The choice of the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry in favor of the Chinese-Pakistani JF-17 Block III "Thunder" multi-role fighters as part of the Air Force tactical fleet renewal program has a number of extremely compelling operational and tactical justifications.
The first of these is the LKF601E jamming-resistant radar system based on an active phased antenna array from Research Institute No. 607 in Chengdu, capable of operating in a much more complex jamming environment than the Н011М "Барс-Р" radars on the exported Su-30SM.
Moreover, the resolution of the LKF601E radars when scanning the water/land surface in the synthetic aperture mode is 1m versus 10m for the export russian Bars-R.
At the same time, the N035 Irbis-E radars with a more modern resolution of about 1.5-1m are not installed on export Su-30SMs.
The detection range of targets with an effective reflective surface of 1 sq. m using Chinese LKF601E radar systems is 140-150 km, with an effective reflective surface of 0.02 sq. m - about 45-50 km.
Moreover, the JF-17 Block III ammunition load boasts the presence of 5 Mach Air-to-Ground CM-400AKG aeroballistic missiles with a range of 150-300km depending on the launch echelon, which will make the Azerbaijani Air Force the 3rd operator of this class of missiles in the South Caucasus and the Middle East after the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Israeli Air Force.
