#Russian military targets

Russia’s Defense Ministry–run TV channel has aired a report from a drone factory in Tatarstan where teenagers—including ninth-grade students—are shown helping mass-produce Shahed-type attack drones used against Ukraine, sparking fresh outrage over the militarization of minors and alleged forced labor at a facility under international sanctions.

Russia’s newest naval vessel may look like a corvette, but it has no weapons and only one real purpose: to serve as a floating training pad for naval helicopters.

Faced with battlefield realities that have rendered traditional tanks increasingly vulnerable, Russian engineers are proposing a radical sci-fi makeover for Cold War–era armor—one that swaps brute force for lasers, drones, and flamethrowers.
