Update.
A new combat module is being showcaed on the BTR chassis. So far this is only a contender for possibly further BTR-82 development. The module was previously shown on the BTR-82AT variant at Army-2020.

An interesting infographic was released recently showing current and future developments in Russian artillery and missile tech. On the upper left you can see a future standardized cruise missile and AShM. Essentially a Bastion-P and Iskander-M on a single chassis. On the bottom left you can see the Coalitsiya family including the tracked, wheeled variants, and the loading vehicle. Down the middle is the current Iskander-M, Msta-SM, artillery command post, Kornet-D, Smerch/Tornado-S, and an unspecific UAV. On the right are next gen MLRS, one 300mm with no name, one Cyclone-G (the 300mm is likely called Cyclone-S) both on the same chassis. Both involve package-loading of munitions and drastically extended range (70kms and 300kms respectively). The 300mm version also apparently carries a seeker-head. Below that is OKR Baikal, a next-generation top-attack ATGM.
Obviously the future projects are hypotheticals, but they seem to be at the OKR stage.
The first unit equipped with Uran combat robots is planned. This is just a test unit, and experimental use of the systems so far was reportedly unimpressive.

The 64th Motor-Rifles has taken delivery of a btln of T-80BVM tanks. The MoD statement claims the tanks are carrying Arena-M APS which doesn't appear to be the case based on the photos. It's possible a small number of tanks are equipped with it for testing purposes but it could also be a mistake.

A automated fire control system for towed guns is being developed. It's essentially an adaptation of the system currently used on 2S19M1 and M2 SP howitzers. It seems that initially the plan was to ditch towed guns completely in favor of purely self-propelled solutions, at least for units using heavy howitzers (152mm). Which is why we've seen such a concentrated effort on upgrading the existing fleet of 2S19s and purchase of new 2S19M2s. However I suspect they discovered that this isn't doable for budgetary reasons. Hence projects like the 2S43 Mal'va (a Msta howtizers on a BAZ truck chassis) and now this, an upgrade program for towed guns.
Further BMP-3 upgrades are in the works with a panoramic commanders sight, and a new engine. Of course the statement also claims that BMP-3s are currently being delivered with extra armor kits, and I have yet to see any of that in line units... it's possible that the upgraded engine is needed to maintain mobility with the increases in weight.

40 BMP-3s are arriving in Vladivostok for the 155th Marine Bde. Prior to this I didn't even know the unit had BMPs, I thought the 155th was all BTRs. It's also unclear whether these are BMP-3F (as the source claims) or just BMP-3. None of the usual indicators of BMP-3F are present.

A new Magistr-SV control system for ground forces air defense is planned and it's going to use purely electro-optical means, no radar. As things stand future Russian PVO-SV will have one btln per brigade run purely EO, and another radar. The EO btln will have one battery on 2S38 guns, one on Sosna-R missiles, and one on MANPADS. The intent seems to be to have a minimal-emissions air defense for ground forces.

Some interesting footage has surfaced of OKR Burlak. Just a reminder, OKR Burlak is the competitor to OKR Proryv. OKR Proryv is the turret design that eventually became the T-90M. Burlak was a competing and far more ambitious project, featuring a dual-feed autoloader, Relikt ERA, and allegedly a new APS possibly based on the Drozd-2. The second link has a decent photo where you can make out some of the details.

Бурлак vs Армата. По поводу новинки из Омска.
В 2009 году от избыточных разработок и конструкторских работ, имеющих свои корни в советские времена, создававшиеся для другой войны среди них БМПТ, Т-95, Бурлак, Коалиция, отказались. В итоге концепция изменилась и многое из перечисленного продолжили разрабатывать и…
