🇨🇳PLA use of the CR500A helicopter-type reconnaissance and attack UAV
The drone weighs 500 kg, has a combat endurance of 5 hours, and an effective control range of 100 km. It fires ATGMs at a range of 6-10 km.

🇷🇺UR-77 “Meteorit” Mine-Clearing System:
The UR-77 Meteorit is a Soviet-era mine-clearing vehicle designed to blast safe lanes through dense minefields using line-charge explosives. Mounted on a tracked chassis, it fires rocket-propelled explosive hoses that detonate on landing, clearing paths up to 90 meters long in seconds.

Infographic showing the currently known modifications of the Geran-2 and Geran-3 drones, their features, as well as a list of warheads.
Geran-2 variants:
▪️ original Shahed-136;
▪️ first Geran-2 version;
▪️ Geran-2 version with an external camera and additional antennas;
▪️ Geran-2 version with a built-in camera and an additional antenna;
▪️ Geran-2 version with a rear-view camera for evasion and suspended containers for PTM-3 mines;
▪️ Geran-2 version with a camera and an R-60 air-to-air missile.
Geran-3 variants:
▪️ original Shahed-238 with a jet engine;
▪️ first Geran-3 version with a possible Starlink antenna.
Warhead options:
▪️ original fragmentation-high-explosive two-stage penetrating warhead BCh-50, weight 53.5 kg;
▪️ enlarged fragmentation-high-explosive two-stage penetrating warhead BCh-90, weight 92 kg;
▪️ Russian thermobaric warhead TBBCh-50, weight 50 kg;
▪️ enlarged thermobaric warhead TBBCh-90, weight 90 kg;
▪️ Russian high-explosive incendiary warhead OFZBCh-50, weight 50 kg.
In addition, the infographic includes two interesting assumptions.
First, that some jet-powered Geran-3 drones fly using Starlink terminals, which have also been appearing on other Russian drones.
Second, that the suspended mine containers are also used for self-defense against interceptor drones. This conclusion was likely drawn from a video showing such cassettes being ejected at the moment a Ukrainian anti-air drone Sting, was approaching.

It looks like “Bamboo” protection is becoming fashionable in Thailand, the photo shows a VT-4 tank fitted with this protection on the turret side.

The 🇫🇷 French and 🇩🇪German 'RCH 155 TRACKED'
Developed by KNDS and revealed in 2025, this self-propelled howitzer combines the Artillery Gun Module (AGM) with the hull of the Tracked Boxer.
The main weapon is a 155mm L52 gun with an 8 round per minute fire rate.
The vehicle is powered by a 1180hp MTU 881 CR diesel engine and has a top speed of 70km/h.

Tests of the DM63 APFSDS rounds demonstrating that the propellant charge meets STANAG 4439 Level V requirements.
The slide shows the result of a warhead detonation test using a PG-7 simulator, where deflagration occurred without the spread of combustion to other rounds stored in standard packaging.
Additional tests included small-arms fire (fragment simulation) and rapid heating.

🇵🇰Hatf-I is Pakistan's first production short-range, land-based ballistic missile.
Its design began in 1987 at the Space Research and Development Commission (SUPARCO) and the Dr. A.Q. Khan Research Laboratories, incorporating French and Chinese technology in response to the Indian missile program. The missile was first unveiled in 1989 and was accepted into service in 1992.
A simple, single-stage, unguided rocket with a solid-fuel motor. It carries a conventional 500-kg warhead, a separate warhead, or a chemical warhead. Its range is only 70 km. Transportation to the launch site and the launch itself are carried on a trailer with a lifting rail. The launcher is designed for use on poor roads.
Around 1995, a modernized Hatf-IA with a range increased to 100 km was developed, and in 2000, the Hatf-IB with an ISN was created. It is claimed that all existing missiles were upgraded to this version in 2004.
The Hatf-IB is still in service with the Pakistan Army.
