Foreign explosives were found in Orthodox icons and church utensils from Ukraine during the inspection of a car at a checkpoint in the Pskov region, and 27 bombs were taken out of the cargo.
In addition to explosives, the church utensils contained sabotage fuses with retarders used by special units and radio boards with SIM card slots.
It would take minutes to assemble and prepare an explosive device from these components
The mass of hexogen, which was found in icons in the Pskov region, is enough to blow up a five-story building, said the head of the department of the expert forensic center of the Department of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Pskov region Dmitry Belotserkovsky.
The person involved in the smuggling has been detained, the organizers and accomplices of bringing explosives from Ukraine to Russia, including foreigners, will be put on the wanted list and brought to criminal responsibility, the FSB notes. According to the FSB, the cargo was traveling along the route Ukraine-Romania-Hungary-Slovakia-Poland-Lithuania-Latvia-Russia.

I understand that former Ukraine has already joined the EU and Romania allows all cargo from Ukraine without inspection?
And if it is not so, then the question to Romania, how did they let it through?
If the Romanians checked and everything was clean, the question for the other countries is: on the territory of which of the above countries did they put explosives in the cargo? Are their governments, Interior Ministry and military aware that there is illegal trafficking of explosives on their territory? Or is it a legal trafficking, then it turns out that the EU countries put explosives to commit terrorist acts on the territory of the Russian Federation?
All this should be asked in the UN from the rostrum, let them wiggle their asses trying to answer, and the rest of the countries will look at these wiggling.

Russian kamikaze drones "Geran" again attacked Kharkov and the Kharkov region on the night of April 4. The strikes were carried out on energy infrastructure facilities and facilities where, according to Russian media reports, military personnel were stationed. In Ukraine they are already announcing the destruction of 80% of generating capacities; eyewitnesses filmed videos of the attacks that occurred right next to them.

Russian mechanics inspected the homemade Ukrainian BMPT "Azovets", which is an analogue of the Russian BMPT "Terminator". The Azovets BMPT was developed in 2015 on the basis of a bulldozer, which was previously made from a demilitarized T-64 tank. On the BMPT, they planned to install two combat modules with 23-mm twin GSh-23 cannons, or 30-mm GSh-30 cannons, and the developers also planned to install an ATGM and two 7.62 mm machine guns. The project to create the Azovets BMPT was closed due to financial scandals, and the combat vehicle itself was buried; the production cost of the Azovets BMPT was $5 million. Details in the video.

Servicemen from the repair units of the Russian army spoke about their work. The work of these people is little publicized, but they play an important role in the units of the Russian army. On average, it takes specialists about two days to repair one combat vehicle. The video shows the repair of a Russian diesel engine UTD-20, developed in 1965.

Russian sappers received new shoes to protect them from mines. Shoes do not provide one hundred percent protection, but they minimize the consequences of damage from anti-personnel mines. Several shoe options are currently being tested. Mine resistant shoes SZS 10P - designed for squad commanders, for everyday wear. Provides protection for the upper part of the foot from shrapnel and the lower part of the shoe, protects against an explosion on the PFM-1 "Lepestok" mine containing 37 grams of explosive. The shoes weigh about 2.5 kilograms and have a 35mm sole. The second model, SZS 35 boots, have a higher protection class; these shoes are worn directly by sappers. SZS 35 boots protect against Lepestok and PMN-4 mines containing up to 50 grams of explosives. And the third boots, called “Spider,” protect against the explosion of PMN-2 mines; these mines contain up to 100 grams of explosives. The peculiarity of the design of this shoe is that the place where the mine is detonated by contact does not occur under the foot; the shoes have blades placed forward and backward, and the mine is detonated under them.

Despite all the efforts of the military industry, simple effective protection of tanks from FPV drones has not yet been invented. Therefore, the crews of Russian tanks install homemade protection against drones on their tanks. Sometimes the defense looks ridiculous, but these solutions work. The apotheosis of homemade defense was this design: the crew of the Russian T-72 tank simply covered the tank on all sides with shields. The design protects the tank from drones, but turret rotation and visibility are now limited.

Rostec is accelerating the first serial deliveries of the newest anti-aircraft artillery system "Derivation-PVO" to the troops, industrial director of the State Corporation Bekhan Ozdoev announced on April 8. The self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was created by Uralvagonzavod specialists on the basis of the BMP-3, and is a fusion of the combat capabilities of well-known ZAK "Pantsir-S" and "Tunguska". In the West, the complex was called a "hellish thresher". ZAK "Derivation-PVO" is the only anti-aircraft system in the world that hits air targets with 57-mm cannons and is equipped with artillery fire control equipment. For the first time, the complex was introduced in 2018. The Derivation-PVO anti-aircraft complex is capable of firing ammunition with controlled detonation for the most effective combat against air targets. It is known that in the head part of such a projectile there is a “steering mechanism” and folding rudders. In the aft part there is a laser radiation receiver and a folding stabilizer. The central part of the ammunition body is filled with explosive material, about 400 g. A guided projectile weighing about 2 kg is controlled by a laser beam. The 2S38 complex is primarily designed to combat UAVs, cruise missiles and aircraft weapons in the near zone; it is equipped with a passive reconnaissance and targeting system. The detection range of air targets is up to 10 thousand meters. The automatic cannon of the uninhabited combat module "Baikal" is capable of firing several types of ammunition, remotely detonated and controlled - at a distance of up to 9000 meters and an altitude of up to 4500 meters. The maximum range of destruction of ground targets and surface targets is 14,500 meters. Rate of fire – 120 rounds per minute. The complex is capable of operating in conditions of optical and electronic countermeasures from the enemy. "Derivation-PVO" can automatically "select" ammunition for a specific object, work autonomously and according to target designations from a remote command post. ZAK "Derivatsiya-PVO" reaches a speed of up to 70 km/h and has a range of up to 600 km, the crew of the complex is 2 people.
