Anti-aircraft mg's are returning to submarine service as a counter to Ukrainian naval drones line the Magura series

The Russian VDV has significantly up-armored its BMD-4M infantry fighting vehicles and BTR-MDM armored personnel carriers. Both have performed poorly against Ukraine.
Both seem to have spaced add-on side armors and skirts with BMD-4M having also a mesh armor around the turret.
