A new combat robotic system has been introduced in Russia – this time it's not about a drone, but about a sniper's weapon. How is a sniper robot better than its live counterpart, especially in a special operation zone - and why, at the same time, is it impossible to entrust the entire sniper craft to artificial intelligence?

In the Kiev hangar, where President Zelensky presented a line of domestic weapons, the eye clung to an oblong object under a tarpaulin. He was standing next to the Neptune and the Areyon attack drones. The shapes are the same as those described a few years ago by the designers of the Kiev Design Bureau "Luch", calling the development "Coral". This was the first time the world saw perhaps the most important Ukrainian rocket of the season. This is not just a new rocket. This is a response to the lack of protection of the sky.

Lobaev Arms, a well-known Russian manufacturer of small arms, based in Kaluga, has completed testing of an innovative sniper system of its own design. The company starts mass production of the product.

NYT: Russia, the United States and China are leading the AI arms race

The military confrontation is reaching a new level, writes the NYT. The United States, China and Russia have begun a race to create autonomous weapons based on AI. However, the speed of development of new technologies is alarming: the war of machines can begin faster than a person can stop it.

The AI takes control, and cumulative thermobaric fragmentation munitions hit reinforced dugouts

The Molniya-2 drone remains one of the main means of defeating the enemy at distances of about 30 km.

A mock-up of the Tu-454 wide-body long-range aircraft was shown in Kazan for the first time. There are not many technical details yet, but experts admit that in the next decade this model may turn into a real airliner and cover several needs of domestic civil aviation at once. It is called the Russian equivalent of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner ("dreamliner") and the Airbus A350.

Tests of a new anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) have begun in Russia. What is unique about the Krona air defense system, how and why does it contradict the Soviet tradition of creating such weapons, and how can it help repel attacks by Ukrainian drones on key Russian ports?

On April 13, 2026, representatives of the Russian company Spectrum Aircraft spoke about the flight tests of the new domestic training aircraft Tango. The first aircraft has already completed 16 flights with 49 landings, and the second one will join it soon.

Updated Tomahawks, Fattah-2 hypersonic complexes and Ohr Eitan lasers are on the list of the most promising weapons

Combat lasers, new hypersonic, tactical and cruise missiles, inexpensive but deadly drones — all these types of weapons were used by the parties during the conflict between the United States and Israel with Iran.

During the Iranian repulse of the aggression of the United States and Israel, the defense industry of the Islamic Republic surprised with several of its novelties, which neither American nor Israeli intelligence knew about.

Russia should develop its own artificial intelligence (AI) for national defense and security, and use the most sovereign products in this area, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

In the process of analyzing the use of various weapons by the US military, Western defense experts noticed new anti-interference equipment on the F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets of the US Air Force during the war with Iran. We are talking about an antenna with a controlled directional pattern (CRPA).

MP Venislavsky: Ukraine will create space forces to intercept the Oreshnik

In the next three to five years, Ukraine plans to create its own space forces, said Verkhovna Rada deputy Fyodor Venislavsky. One of the goals of the reform is to develop means of countering the Oreshnik hypersonic missile.

While the four astronauts of the Artemis II mission are flying to the moon for the first time in 50 years, they are talking to us through an infrared laser. The Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O), developed by NASA in collaboration with the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, transmits data from aboard the Orion spacecraft to Earth at speeds of up to 260 Mbit/s.

Experts named three scenarios for the development of the European nuclear project

Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands are the countries with the most developed scientific and technical potential, which makes it possible to quickly transform theoretical developments into an active nuclear weapons program, experts interviewed by Izvestia believe.

Astronauts of the Artemis II mission returned to Earth, the capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean

The astronauts of the Artemis II mission returned to Earth, the capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.

The Spanish company Indra Group and South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace have signed an agreement on industrial cooperation to promote wheeled armored vehicles in Latin America.

What new Russian technologies will help to explore the Moon and get rid of microbes on the orbital station

Russian scientists have developed a prototype system that will allow astronauts to return to the space station in case of accidental separation during extravehicular activities.
