Drone snatchers are being used on both sides 

Footage of the new Russian "trench" defense system against small UAVs.

The principle of operation is simple: the detector of the system detects the drone and lets it get closer, where electronic warfare jammers are activated from an effective distance, preventing the enemy drone from escaping from the jammed zone of cca 2.5km.

wartime upgrades

As UVZ is refiting and upgrading tanks at considerable speed reportedly 3+ tanks (T72 and T80) per shift !!  , the backlog of the FCS and optics seems to be one of the main obstacles to upgrade speed and quality

The Sosna-U and similar are now reserved for T90 , so the wartime upgraded T72B and T80BV are getting whatever is left so the thermals with cca 25% shorter recognition range that Sosna U

As noted before some of the T90 that were supplied to Russian army and Wagner in last couple of months are obvious Indian contract models  distinguished buy somewhat specific reactive armor layout on the turret

Stickers with lettering on the day sight unit indicate it was taken from 'export' production run as they  all have engraved lettering.

1G46 sight is the same 1PN96MT-01, which is used instead of the more advanced Sosna-U sight on the current upgrades of the T-80BV and T-72B tanks.

Leo1A5 going to UA. We can probably consider these to be FSV?

well, let's define what that actually means? As far as I  can see, most tanks in .ua get used as FSVs. Most MBTs do not get killed by other MBTs. And given 70mm frontal armour, I'd not care to  pitch Leo1s (and T6x) against MBTs.
