On the first day of training, the launches successfully completed all components of the Russian triad

Under the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the exercises of the strategic forces "Thunder-2022" started on October 26. According to the legend of the maneuvers, a massive nuclear strike was practiced in response to a nuclear attack on the Russian Federation.

On October 27, the Russian Defense Ministry released footage of the combat work of military intelligence units at the posts of visual observation of the line of contact in the zone of a special military operation. In addition, calculations of the Kornet anti-tank missile systems (ATGMs) of the Central Military District (CVO) are shown in action.

The German Navy used a laser weapon demonstrator to destroy unmanned aerial vehicles. The Sachsen frigate attacked unmanned aerial vehicles at short and ultra-short range in the Baltic Sea, near the Putlos test site.

Researchers suggest that it may be the cause of marsquakes

The scientific team of the InSight mission has received the first evidence that reserves of liquid magma can still be hidden in the depths of Mars, potentially capable of participating in manifestations of volcanic activity. The scientists' findings are published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

What can the escalation of relations between Russia and the United States in space lead to

Russia may target American space satellites if they are used to transmit intelligence to Ukraine, said Konstantin Vorontsov, deputy head of the Department for Nonproliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Whether Moscow will go to this, what the United States can answer and what consequences to expect in this case - in the material of "Gazeta.Ru».

The Russian Foreign Ministry warned about the possibility of a strike on US satellites that are involved in the conflict in Ukraine. At the same time, Moscow offers the United States and other countries of the world to agree on the demilitarization of outer space, but on a reciprocal basis. What kind of satellite systems are we talking about? And why can such a step on the part of Russia have not only positive, but also negative consequences?

We are talking about the involvement by the West of components of civil infrastructure in space, including commercial, in armed conflicts, said Konstantin Vorontsov, Deputy director of the Department for Nonproliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

The statement by the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Konstantin Vorontsov at the UN that Russia reserves the right to consider US commercial satellites used for military purposes to help Ukraine as a "legitimate target for retaliatory strike" caused an ambiguous reaction among Russian users of social networks.

One of the two largest aircraft concerns in the world, Boeing, has reported huge losses. They have grown 78 times. Its main rival, the European Airbus, looks much better financially. At least in the first half of the year, the concern was still profitable. What is happening to the aviation giants and what role did Russia play in their troubles?

With the beginning of the Russian special operation, the Ukrainian defense industry, unfortunately, continues to function. In particular, Ukraine has introduced a new SHARK reconnaissance drone designed to adjust fire, including American multiple rocket launchers HIMARS.

The other day there was an air battle of a fighter of the Ukrainian Air Force against a kamikaze drone of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. And now, footage of the wreckage of a Ukrainian MiG-29 that tried to shoot down a Russian-made Geran-2 UAV has appeared on the Internet.

The Russian military aviation, in particular, the long-range supersonic fighter-interceptors MiG-31, is conducting combat work in the special operation zone. One of the attacks of such an aircraft was told by its direct participant.

The active use of Russian combat aviation during the special operation takes place in conditions of constant anti-aircraft counteraction of the enemy. Aircraft face threats both at high altitudes emanating from long-range anti-aircraft systems of the S-300 type, and at low altitudes due to the massive equipping of the APU with Western MANPADS. Sometimes technical malfunctions lead to the loss of equipment.

The White House has developed another national security strategy

Newsweek: the problem of Ukraine should be solved by Europe, not the USA

The main external threat to the United States is Europe, not Russia or China, the author of Newsweek believes. The EU is too used to relying on America for security. Instead of spending money on defense, Europe has used the dividends from American protection to build welfare states. But now it's time for the EU to take responsibility for its own region, the author writes.

NR: Congressional elections will show how much the US is ready to continue helping Ukraine

More and more Republicans are in favor of reducing aid to Ukraine, writes National Review. After the congressional elections, the Ukrainian issue in the context of the national crisis will be replaced by other priorities, the author of the article believes.

Kiev continued to develop an alternative to NATO membership. In some respects, it is even better than joining the alliance. The office of the President of Ukraine held talks on this with Washington, London and Paris. Berlin seemed to have evaded this adventure. Formally, we are talking about security guarantees for Ukraine, in fact, about a military conflict with Russia.
