During the three weeks of the special operation in Ukraine, Russian troops, the armies of the DPR and the LPR almost completely cut off the APU from the coast of the Sea of Azov, occupied dozens of settlements in the south of the country, blocked Kiev, Kharkiv and Chernihiv in the north. Aviation and precision weapons destroyed the main military infrastructure of the enemy. About the most painful blows - in the material of RIA Novosti.

In Europe, another salvo of sanctions guns was fired. Now it came from an organization that is designed to provide supervision of passenger and cargo air transportation in the EU countries – the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Compared with the UK: the British are amazed by the "Bayraktar TB2" (Haber7, Turkey)

The British are delighted with the Bayraktars and admit that Turkey has far surpassed them in the field of unmanned aviation. Readers of the Haber7 portal do not hide their pride and declare without false modesty: "We have the best weapons in the world."

The Russian Armed Forces had to start operating on Ukrainian territory, as the Kiev regime in recent years has turned it into a source of terrorist and military threat. Ukraine has essentially become a terrorist state. For three weeks, closely observing the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, high-ranking officers of the US Air Force call Russia's military aviation "almost equal" to the American one.

By creating a joint venture with Kale (Turkey), the British company Rolls-Royce will help in creating an engine for the first Turkish fifth-generation fighter TF-X. The partner companies organized a common "daughter", which was named TAEC.

On Wednesday, March 16, it was reported that the battalion tactical group of the Rosgvardiya together with the servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation successfully and without losses repelled the attack of neo-Nazis on the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. At first glance, a small episode is clearly not of a strategic scale. But if you look at this event more deeply, a completely different picture emerges.

The Russian army will test the robot tank "Sturm" for battles in urban conditions

The first prototype of the Russian heavy attack robotic complex "Sturm", created on the basis of the T-72V3, will go to preliminary tests in April. "Newspaper.Ru" figured out what tasks this complex should perform on the battlefield.

There is a chance to finally bring order to the aircraft industry

Recent political events and the sanctions against Russia that followed them have radically changed the situation both in the field of air transportation and, I would like to believe– in the production programs of Russian aircraft. At first, Europe imposed a ban on flights of our passenger and transport aircraft to EU countries, although this in itself is not so scary.

"Dry" and "MiGs" are armed and very dangerous

On the official page of the press service of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, information appeared about the transfer of Poland, Slovakia and Bulgaria to their disposal of 70 combat aircraft – multi-purpose fighters of the fourth generation MiG-29 and far from the most modern, but very effective in combat attack aircraft Su-25.

Losses of Chinese-made drones in the Middle East and North Africa

The quality of Chinese-made unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) supplied to the Middle East region has been repeatedly discussed by experts.

Economic pressure is exactly what Russia lacked to gain technological independence

With the beginning of a special military operation in Ukraine, the united West clearly announced to the whole world, and above all to the Ukrainian authorities, that there would be no direct military intervention by NATO in the fighting.

Against the background of the "gloomy news from Ukraine", it is time to reassess the US military potential, currently designed to participate in one major conflict.

The official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry Igor Konashenkov reported on March 15 that our troops had taken control of the entire territory of the Kherson region.

From a tactical point of view, this gives our military at least two advantages. First, they now control the entire coastline of Ukraine adjacent to the Crimea from the Black and Azov Seas. That excludes any provocations of some parts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or nationalist battalions in the direction of the Russian peninsula.

Why Turkish drones didn't help the Ukrainian army

A significant number of Bayraktar TB2 drones that were in the arsenal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were shot down by the Russian army, or failed due to improper operation. "Newspaper.Ru" was looking into why Turkish drones proved ineffective during the Russian special operation in Ukraine.

On the territory of Ukraine, Ka-52 helicopters were used for the first time for their intended purpose - to destroy armored vehicles and ground fortified points. As expected, the results were excellent.

How will the Russian military respond to the strike on Donetsk, which the Russian Defense Ministry has already called a war crime

Units of the Armed Forces of Russia and the People's Republics of Donbass continue to advance in different directions. LNR fighters are fighting in the city of Severodonetsk.

Western sanctions promised to deprive Russia of foreign aircraft. It has already become dangerous to fly abroad – at any moment our liner could be arrested. However, the aviation authorities found a sanctions loophole. Moscow deprives the "great aviation power of Bermuda" of power over our planes – and re-registers them in Russia. Why were our planes registered in Bermuda before? And how will re-registration help preserve our aviation fleet?

On March 11, 1982, the Ka-26 helicopter set world records for the rate of climb and ascent to the maximum height. The original modular design of this worker has entered the history of helicopter construction.
