New version of UMPKs for FAB-1500M54 and ODAB-1500, doesn't look like JDB contraption.

Speaking about ODAB-1500, it is used time to time.

and another example:

I find it a bit strange that we have 500 and 1500 bombs, but not 1t ones.

Hezbollah used Ababil-2 suicide drone with 2 S-5 single shot rocket launchers. Reminds me ISIS VBIEDs with S-5s launch rails on their roofs.

Unlike standard FABs with UMPK, this bomb has its own engine and is capable of covering much greater distances, which allows it to reach, for example, Kharkov.

According to KCNA, on May 17, the General Directorate of Rocketry of the DPRK carried out a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile using a new navigation system. The Secretary General of the WPK, Chairman of State Affairs of the DPRK, respected comrade Kim Jong-un, observed the test launch. This test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the autonomous navigation guidance system. As far as one can judge, a modified version of the Hwasongpo-11Ra missile (Hwasong-11D, as it is called in the West) was tested.

   An official presentation of two Iranian air defense systems.
   One of them was already known earlier (as Tactical Sayyad) and a model of its export version was brought to the Army-2023 exhibition, but the official presentation in Iran took place only now and it was named as the Arman air defense system. This air defense system is a further development of the 15th Khordad air defense system with the presence, instead of separate vehicles with radar and launchers, a self-propelled firing system with a radar and three transport-launch containers of anti-aircraft missiles, as well as separate launchers with six containers. The target detection range is up to 180 km, and the destruction range is up to 120 km. The air defense system can deploy into a combat position in 3 minutes.
   The second presented air defense system Azarakhsh has not been demonstrated before and is a sample of a short-range air defense system, which is created on the basis of the same Iranian modernized copies of the AIM-9 air attack missile system, and the launcher is equipped with a small radar and EOS for detecting and tracking targets.

   The history of similar machine guns begins in the first half of the 2010s, when Igor Mikhailovich Vasiliev, better known as Nomad, entered the arms service of the FSB of the Russian Federation. At that time, there was an urgent question about the need for an assault machine gun - a weapon that made it possible to conduct long-term, high-power fire in close combat conditions, when working in small settlements, near ambushes in mountainous and wooded areas. One of the areas of work is the development of such a machine gun based on a standard machine gun chambered for a rifle cartridge. Igor Mikhailovich receives a patent for a machine gun made in a short layout (according to the bullpup scheme).

 

   The manufacturer was designated “Zenitka”. Subsequently, there is an appeal to another manufacturer - directly to the manufacturer of machine guns of the PK - ZiD family. The topic moves to the R&D level, code “V******”. The developed sample based on the PKP is supplied to the units. The machine gun cannot be said to fully meet the customer’s expectations, and therefore the concept is being developed. Already in the second half of the 2010s, a significantly different model appeared, which received the independent name “PRSh” - Manual Assault Machine Gun. The machine gun, manufactured in an extremely limited series, entered service with the Special Purpose Centers of the FSB and the FSO of the Russian Federation.

 

   The machine gun is a variant of the Kalashnikov machine gun, distinguished by a significantly shortened butt, a handle moved to the front of the receiver, a reflector opposite the cartridge ejection window that redirects the cartridges down, a box installed with an inclination in a vertical plane, a forend, a bipod containing front handles, similar to 6P69 barrel with a frame with a Picatinny rail and mechanical sights, a rest for firing from window openings and in similar conditions, a three-chamber muzzle brake, and other ergonomic and design changes.

The Slovak company ZTS-Special presented a new self-propelled mortar system AM120, created jointly with Kerametall and the Czech Excalibur Army.

AM120 is a 120 mm caliber smoothbore mortar system with a 60-round loading mechanism, providing a rate of fire of 20 rounds/min.

Dear Comrade Kim Jong-un got acquainted with the updated 240-mm MLRS and observed the test launch of guided projectiles
/../
The updated MLRS with high maneuverability and the ability to carry out a massive strike has been equipped with a comprehensive automatic fire control system, and it will be used by KPA units in the period from 2024 to 2026.

On April 30, 2024, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the upcoming decommissioning of the Patriot air defense system (Yaalom in the Israeli Air Force). The process is gradual - reduction of batteries until the complete removal of air defense systems from service. This will happen quite quickly, on the IDF website it says “soon” (“be-Karov”), and on Wikipedia - already in July 2024 (though it is not clear where this date was taken from). What is being replaced is not officially announced, according to Wikipedia - “David’s Sling” (in service since 2017).

ZA-SPN "Titan" armored car.

   The armored vehicle is manufactured in a "pickup" configuration with a load-bearing armored hull and a mine-resistant design - an armored hull with a V-shaped bottom and anti-traumatic seats for the driver and troops.

 

   "Titan" can be equipped with a BMDU with complex weapons (30 mm AC 2A42, 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun and Konkurs ATGM), ensuring the destruction of various targets at a range of up to 2000 m from the spot and on the move.

 

   Modular armor protection can be changed at the customer's request - armored or mesh (lattice) screens are additionally installed. Independent suspension, diesel engine, centralized tire inflation system, winch and air conditioning provide high maneuverability and comfort when driving over rough terrain.
 

   Main characteristics:
- Number of seats: 5
- Curb weight, kg, no more: 13650
- Load capacity, kg, no more: 1450
- Dimensions (LxHxW), mm: 6280 x 2550 x 3500
- Engine power, hp: 350
- Maximum speed, km/h less than: 100
- Cruising range based on control fuel consumption, km: 800
- Ballistic protection level according to STANAG 4569: 3
- Mine protection level, kg (in TNT equivalent): 2a, 2b (6)

 

It is currently at the state testing stage. They are going to be completed in the near future, after which the future fate of the new armored car will have to be determined.
