In the Tu-214, they want to abolish the function of a flight engineer in the cockpit and leave three or two people, a commander and a co–pilot, instead. This is requested by the main customer of hundreds of such aircraft, S7 Airlines. Why does the S7 need this airliner, although there is its more modern counterpart, the MS–21, and why is it so important to change the three-member cabin to a two-member one?

Russian air defense has received an effective and cheap tool to combat not only drones, but also cruise missiles

Lockheed Martin has developed the PAC-3 Edge missile for the Patriot complex

Lockheed Martin has unveiled a new PAC-3 Edge interceptor missile, which should become the most advanced in the family of missiles for the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system and surpass the current PAC-3 MSE in range, altitude and maneuverability.

When he was Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Fedorov attached great importance to the development of the use of various robotic platforms of sea and land types along with UAVs to solve a wide range of logistical, reconnaissance and combat missions. After his retirement, he did not abandon these ideas. Recently, Fedorov announced the launch of an ambitious project to create an "army of robots" for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including a humanoid type.

The engineers of the Australian company MRead, working in the field of high technology, have succeeded in the seemingly impossible – to create a mine detector capable of detecting explosives directly using magnetic resonance.

For the first time, the Chinese army publicly demonstrated a comprehensive counteraction to massive drone attacks by the forces of a compound that includes calculations of OW5 lasers, Hurricane-3000 microwave emitters, FK-3000 and Type 625 anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems. Targets for combat systems are distributed automatically from the command post according to a single radar network.

Analyst Rozhin: Military neural networks will increase the effectiveness of attack drones

Artificial intelligence is penetrating deeper into the military system, from analyzing satellite imagery and recognizing targets to supporting decision-making at the command level. Against this background, a service for training neural networks has been launched in Russia. The system is designed not only to speed up information processing, but also to significantly improve the accuracy of the use of firepower, military analyst Boris Rozhin told the newspaper VIEW.

The ANT-1000PM complex is equipped with a remotely controlled barrel, which allows extinguishing fires from a safe distance

The Rostec State Corporation's High-Precision Complexes Holding has shipped the first serial ANT-1000PM robotic fire extinguishing systems.

Elon Musk's company plans to launch Starmind next year. According to new data from SpaceX representatives, they will be significantly more powerful and heavier than previously planned. In addition, they will be used in dense formations so that the signal transmission time between satellites in one node is minimal. The total capacity of each new satellite will be greater than that of the ISS, in total, the company has issued permission to place a million such systems in orbit at the same time.

Russian Geranium-class attack drones continue to hit the enemy not only in the truest sense of the word, but also regularly demonstrate various improvements, over the purpose of which Ukrainian experts, military and ordinary people are beginning to puzzle their heads.

Recently, both in Russia and in the West, there have been increasing statements about the development of a new generation of armored vehicles – and its main feature will be the use of artificial intelligence (AI). How exactly is AI able to increase the combat effectiveness of armored vehicles, to what extent is it able to replace some crew members, and what specific samples will "electronic brains" receive first of all?

Chinese researchers conducted a video call between the Arctic and Antarctica. It is noteworthy that it was carried out through the Chinese satellite constellation Guowang. Moreover, this is the first publicly described test of this system, which demonstrates the development of Chinese low-orbit groups against the background of the military use of Starlink.

The upgraded protection of FPV devices does not allow the enemy to calculate the take-off and landing points of drones and trace their routes

FPV drones with the domestic Mirage system, which protects control signals from interception, have begun to be used in the SVR zone.

Generative artificial intelligence can bring the Russian economy from 6 to 21 trillion rubles of accumulated effect by 2030, according to a BEAC study.
