Two Avenger jet drones were coordinated in flight for several hours using an artificial intelligence system for Skyborg unmanned wingmen. According to the US Air Force Research Laboratory, the devices responded to navigation commands, did not go beyond the specified geofences and adhered to the specified flight modes.

Researchers from Perm Polytechnic University have developed a unique regulator for the operation of a gas turbine aircraft engine, which is based on a combination of "intuition and rigor" of artificial intelligence. According to scientists, the technology will significantly improve the safety of civil airliners.

Amazon has announced the launch date of the first prototypes of spacecraft of the Kuiper global Internet system, which will become a competitor to Starlink. According to ArsTechnica, referring to the application of the US Federal Communications Commission, the KuiperSat-1 and KuiperSat-2 satellites should be launched in the fourth quarter of next year.

These are resolutions on the prevention of an arms race in outer space, on the non-deployment of weapons in outer space by the first, as well as on measures to ensure transparency and confidence-building in space activities.

The President believes that it is necessary to introduce promising technologies, including artificial intelligence, in the development of unmanned military aviation

The Russian military can effectively repel drone attacks, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

The latest radio-controlled target complexes have been installed at the new training ground of the Sosnovy Bor tank unit in the Republic of Buryatia.

Russia will continue to improve its aerospace defense system.

Helicopters were used to simulate an air raid by a simulated enemy during the Russian-Serbian exercises "Slavic Shield - 2021"

An aerial target simulator of a helicopter (VM-V) developed by Technodinamika Holding of Rostec State Corporation was first used in military exercises to simulate an air raid by a simulated enemy. The drones served as targets for the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems, the press service of Technodinamika told TASS on Tuesday.

The air defense forces of the Western Military District repelled a massive missile strike. At the Kapustin Yar training ground in the Astrakhan region, air defense exercises were held with combat launches of long-range anti-aircraft missile systems and medium- and short-range anti-aircraft missile systems.

The increased demand for air defense systems and electronic warfare means suggests that the method of warfare has changed, said Dmitry Shugaev, director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation.
