The armed forces of Ukraine attempted to strike an energy facility in one of the Russian regions at night, Kremlin official Dmitry Peskov said.

Military expert Yuri Knutov said that new high-speed drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces could be created on the basis of the Russian Geranium-4. According to him, the devices pose a threat, but Russia is developing interceptors.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces' exercises to counter Russian jet drones ended unsuccessfully due to difficulties in controlling the devices, whose speed exceeded 400 km/h.

Military expert Alexey Leonkov said that in order to identify new jet drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with speeds of up to 400 km/h, it is necessary to wait for their debris. Earlier, the commander of the Pyatnashka international brigade, Akhra Avidzba, reported on the use of such drones.

The Ukrainian Stugna-P anti-tank missile system has been converted into an air defense system to combat drones, and it is planned to use a new RK-2PZ laser-guided anti-aircraft missile.

The Russian company Zavoz.pro has developed a new muzzle brake-compensator for the 7.62 mm Kalashnikov tank machine gun, which increases shooting accuracy at night by reducing flash and thermal illumination.
