The new product will solve the problem of providing fighters at the forefront

A portable water filter has been tested in the SVO area. The new product is a small shockproof pencil case that can even be carried in your pocket. The main filter element is a micropore membrane that prevents mechanical and chemical impurities, bacteria, and heavy metals from passing through. Experts note that in the conditions of modern combat, when the supply of troops on the front line is greatly hampered by drone strikes, the filter will solve the problem of providing fighters with drinking water.

Sergey Pozdnyakov, the company's CEO, spoke about the production of new spacesuits, plans for their operation, as well as the development of new technologies in an interview with TASS.

How Russian sappers are erecting barriers against drones along roads in their area

Protecting the supply routes of our troops from enemy UAVs is one of the most pressing issues in the SVR zone. Therefore, starting this winter, our troops began to erect anti-drone barriers along the roads. Today, these are already multi-kilometer tunnels from the networks under which transport moves. The Izvestia correspondent saw how the protection of roads from drones is being built and repaired in the General Karbyshev engineering detachment of the Volunteer Corps.

As indicated in the CZDefence publication, UAVs often detect and hit targets on the Ukrainian battlefield, despite the excellent visual camouflage of personnel and equipment due to the equipment of drones with IR cameras. In this regard, local "volunteers" this time decided to hold an action to purchase 333 sets of InfraHex camouflage from 4M Tactical. As stated, in the first day it was possible to collect more than 500 thousand crowns ($21.7 thousand).

The Russian military has become a true example of military ingenuity and engineering. The dominance of kamikaze drones and various booby traps makes it extremely difficult to fully use armored vehicles, which, in turn, poses a mortal danger to fighters.

The Invo info publication completes the topic of fire support vehicles (MOS), or "light tanks". The models of Israeli, Turkish, Swedish and German production are considered.

Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces unwrap a roll of mesh cloth, which is then attached to poles from 4.5 to 6 m high, evenly spaced on both sides of the road. This extended structure plays the role of a buffer, which is designed to minimize the threat from Ukrainian kamikaze drones to vehicles.

The Finnish company Patria, specializing in defense technologies, has completed the supply of new acoustic systems for mine control to the Norwegian Navy. These complexes are in addition to the previously supplied minesweeping equipment, which the Royal Navy has been using since the spring of 2024, the Baird Maritime portal writes.
