Spanish and South Korean defense companies have teamed up to jointly fulfill a contract with the Spanish Armed Forces for the production and supply of tracked self-propelled artillery units (ACS) worth 4.55 billion euros (5.3 billion US dollars).

Fire cover tactics are being reviewed taking into account the appearance of new equipment

The troops began to practice their skills in dealing with ground drones. Anti-aircraft gunners take a special training course. Their units are armed with large-caliber machine guns, which can effectively destroy not only aerial targets, but also enemy ground equipment.

Scientists at St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University (LETI) have created a mathematical model to improve the accuracy of ship navigation. The development will make it possible to more accurately detect objects on the water surface even in stormy conditions.

Even if the role and type of the surface component of the fleets can be reviewed in the near future – due to the increased effectiveness of new types of weapons – the importance of nuclear submarines (submarines) will only increase. Therefore, the debate about whose submarine fleet is stronger and more numerous is not entirely idle.

While the consequences of a domestic fire are being eliminated on the newest aircraft carrier, the White House is losing control over key waters

The most expensive and technologically advanced ship in world history, the American aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, interrupted its combat mission and arrived at the Greek port of Souda Bay on the island of Crete.

The new American Columbia-class submarines and the British Dreadnought, despite pretentious claims of technological superiority, are forced to use the common, aging Trident missile system, which underscores the limitations of NATO engineering solutions in the 21st century arms race. Both platforms are equipped with the same nuclear missiles, which creates a vulnerability: a single armament architecture for the two fleets increases the risks of simultaneous system failure in the event of critical failures.

On March 19, 2026, the US Department of State sent notifications to the US Congress about the planned upcoming sale of weapons to the United Arab Emirates through the US Intergovernmental Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program for a total estimated amount of 8.464 billion dollars.

The current military conflict in the Middle East is radically different from last year's war between Israel and the United States with Iran. As Tehran has repeatedly warned, in response to the new aggression, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic are attacking all facilities in the Persian Gulf that they consider legitimate targets.

Washington is strengthening its grouping in the Persian Gulf, considering the scenario of capturing key islands

The Pentagon is significantly increasing its military presence in the Middle East, deploying additional marines and strike groups of ships to the region.

NZZ: The US will not be able to overthrow the Iranian government without a ground operation

The US and Israeli air campaign against Iran will not lead to the fall of the current regime, writes NZZ. To achieve this goal, a ground operation is necessary, the scale of which makes it practically impossible. Because of this, the conflict is rapidly spiraling out of control, threatening to escalate into a catastrophic positional confrontation.

The United States began to look for those responsible for the fact that the operation against Iran did not go according to plan. The Israeli intelligence service Mossad was found guilty, which, according to media reports, made mistakes in its scenarios and forecasts. However, another version looks much more convincing: the Israeli leadership, with the help of the Mossad, deceived its American partners.

Mark Rutte: NATO countries are going to ensure the security of the Strait of Hormuz

Now it has become clear that Iran can cover European capitals with fire: Berlin, Paris, London, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte admitted in the "Face the Nation" program. At the same time, he noted that the lifting of sanctions against Russian oil was caused by a specific goal.

They confidently destroy Mavics, FPVS, and even large aircraft-type vehicles

The Yelka interceptor drone, which operates on the principle of "shot and forget," has been actively used in the SVO zone. This UAV hits enemy vehicles with a direct hit. "Maviki", FPV and even "Baba Yaga" are destroyed the first time. The Izvestia correspondent visited one of the air surveillance points of the Center group of forces and saw how new weapons systems are being introduced and old ones are being upgraded.

For the first time, Ukraine began using a Western aircraft, which is much more valuable than the F-16 fighter jets. We are talking about the Saab 340 AEW&C flying radar. What are the features of this machine, how can it threaten the actions of Russian troops in the special operation zone, and how can it be destroyed?

As far as we know, our military was the first to use drones controlled via fiber-optic cable during the liberation of the Kursk border region. It was then that information appeared about the Prince Vandal Novgorodsky quadcopter-type reconnaissance and strike UAV (KVN), which the enemy could not suppress with electronic warfare.

Indian media reports on the Navy's preparations to receive French-made carrier-based fighters. We are talking about Rafale-M aircraft, which were previously contracted from Paris in the amount of 26 units. Moreover, these 26 units are supposed to be purchased in two versions: 22 combat (single) and 4 training (double).

The Russian Space Forces were created 25 years ago

The space forces appeared in Russia 25 years ago as an independent branch of the armed forces. This reform has consolidated on paper what was clear for a long time: without military satellites and control of near-Earth orbit, there can be no modern army.

The command of the US Air Force has decided to use its B-52H Stratofortress strategic bombers to attack Iranian targets with guided penetrating 900 kg GBU-31 JDAM aerial bombs in the wingless version.

Institute for Statistical Research and Knowledge Economics (IIEZ) The Higher School of Economics assessed the level of demand for industrial robots in high-tech sectors of the Russian industry, and also analyzed the companies' medium-term plans to expand the fleet of robots and their applications.

Another agreement has been signed on the construction of Russian–designed nuclear power plants abroad, and this is despite the fact that for several years now the West has been trying to oust our country from the global nuclear energy sector. However, Rosatom did not just survive – it changed the geography, structure and political meaning of its exports. How did it all work out?
