According to the court's decision, the Malaysian Boeing was shot down by the DPR militia. The commander of one of the detachments Igor Girkin (Strelkov) and two of his subordinates were sentenced to life imprisonment in absentia.

Anti-satellite weapons are developing rapidly

In October, 65 years have passed since the day when Sputnik-1 (code designation PS-1 - from "simplest satellite") was launched into near-Earth orbit on a Soviet carrier rocket, created on the basis of the R–7 intercontinental ballistic missile, the famous "seven". The spacecraft (spacecraft), whose name has become a household name, made a global furore, forcing the whole planet to talk about itself.

In particular, the devices can be used to ensure the operation of automatic identification systems in civil aviation and the reception of data from sensors of the Internet of Things

Devices for remote sensing of the Earth and the automatic identification system of ships (AIS) of Sputnix were demonstrated to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov and Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Maxim Oreshkin at the Aeronet-2035 exhibition.

Will overseas aviation PMCs appear in the sky over Ukraine

The collective West's supply of weapons to Ukraine does not yet apply to aviation. One of the reasons is that modern aviation technology is simply too expensive. Another reason is that it will be difficult and long for Ukrainian pilots to retrain for Western aircraft. Moreover, the Ukrainian Air Force is already experiencing a clear shortage of flight personnel.

As reported by PJSC United Aircraft Corporation on November 16, 2022, Russian aircraft manufacturers handed over a batch of front-line bombers to the Armed Forces.
