The creation of barrage ammunition radically changed the nature of the fighting

The history of the development and combat use of barrage ammunition (BB) for various purposes – anti–radar and multi-purpose - has been going on for more than a decade. The first attempts to create this kind of precision weapons were made in a number of countries back in the late 1970s.

The development also has a promising practical application in the field of healthcare, said Milena Koloteva, head of the Laboratory of Acceleration and Artificial Gravity Physiology at the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

According to Milena Koloteva, head of the Laboratory of Acceleration and Artificial Gravity Physiology at the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, medical and technical requirements for creating an on-board centrifuge of short radius are currently being formed.

This will allow students to design spaceships in physics lessons and in circles

The developers of the Russian space simulator "Orbit" have made the program code of the first versions of the simulator publicly available, thanks to this, schoolchildren in circles, in physics lessons will be able to design a spacecraft, simulate its landing on various planets and performing missions in near-Earth orbit.

According to Alexander Bloshenko, executive director of one of the directions of Roscosmos, the company's specialists will create a satellite communication technology that will allow voice calls to be made using a conventional smartphone without the use of subscriber equipment.

A team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology has developed a map of Mars with an incredible resolution of 5 meters per pixel. It covers at least 99.5% of the planet's surface. To create the map, a database of 110,000 images captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter camera over a 17-year observation history was used.

The portable complex can be used against reconnaissance drones, electronic warfare drones, as well as against UAVs carrying a combat load

The complex of countering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) "Pischal-Pro" will be equipped with an additional range of suppression of satellite navigation systems, which will allow countering the newest models of drones. This was reported to TASS in the press service of the holding "Roselectronics" (part of Rostec) on the occasion of the Day of the Electronic Warfare Specialist (EW), which is celebrated annually in Russia on April 15.

Recently, the Ukrainian armed forces have practically stopped using multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) HIMARS. American analysts come to this conclusion, according to the materials of secret Pentagon documents leaked on the Internet.

On April 11, 2023, the Ministry of Defense of Japan announced that since the beginning of April it has issued four contracts to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Corporation with a total value of 378.1 billion yen ($2.86 billion) for the development and mass production of new types of long-range anti-ship and cruise missiles for the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

The new system will become an important element in the development of Russian hypersonic weapons

Behind the training and test launch, which took place on the night of April 11-12 this year from the Kapustin Yar test site, there is a lot of experimental design work to create a new experimental missile system that will replace the Topol-E.

On April 13, 2023, the DPRK conducted, as stated, the first successful flight test of a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile "Hwasong-18" ("Hwasongpo-18", Hwasong 18), made as part of a mobile ground missile system in the style of the Soviet / Russian mobile complexes "Topol" and "Yars", with placement on a 9-axle wheeled conveyor.

The degradation of the Ukrainian industry did not allow the APU to receive several dozen T-80UD "Birch".

As noted by "RG:Russian weapons", currently these tanks are considered obsolete, but in their capabilities they significantly exceed those available in the armed formations of the Kiev puppet regime T-64BV.
