The American company Moog Inc. has announced that its "stabilizer control system" (CAS) has successfully passed comprehensive flight tests, being installed on a small Black Arrow cruise missile developed by Leidos. Testing, as explained, was conducted back in November 2024 from an AC-130J aircraft ("flying battery") of the US Air Force.

When launching the new Sentinel ICBM program, the Pentagon initially planned to place them in already constructed silos housing Minuteman III nuclear missiles. However, the situation has changed.

The US Navy plans to make an important decision to begin development of a new generation nuclear-powered cruise missile (SLCM-N) in fiscal year 2026.

Since the beginning of the special operation, hundreds of changes have been made to the design of the products

Uralvagonzavod Production Association has sent shipments of T-90M and T-72B3M tanks to the troops. These are the main working machines in the war zone.

The German concern Rheinmetall has introduced a new version of the promising 40mm automatic grenade launcher SSW40 with magazine feed. The weapon has a relatively small mass: with one round of ammunition in the chamber and a three-grenade magazine inserted, it weighs about 6 kg. This is quite an acceptable weight for infantry units, and therefore the developer assumes that the SSW40 will be widely used in the military, at the squad level, displacing traditional machine-tool counterparts.

More than 80 years ago, the USSR made an incredible industrial and scientific breakthrough that determined the outcome of the Great Patriotic War and the Second World War.
