News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

How the "Spider" will help to identify long-range UAVs in advance and determine their flight direction

Russia has developed an acoustic drone detection system. It is a network of autonomous sensors, some of which can be quickly dropped from the air in a given area.

A team of researchers from the Australian RMIT University has developed a material they call a "floating metal polymer metamaterial with an open-cell lattice structure."

The South Korean Ministry of Defense held its first exhibition of defense unmanned technologies at the Pocheon training ground, in the fields of which local manufacturers were supposed to demonstrate the "drone revolution" in action, in conditions as close to combat as possible.

The Japanese are going to connect the terrestrial Internet and satellites through flying stations at an altitude of 20 km

SoftBank, together with Hitotsubashi University and the National Institute of Polar Research of Japan, tested a laser tracking system for the HAPS high-altitude telecommunications platform located about 20 km above the Ground.

NASA chief Jared Isaacman said China could "block U.S. access" to the Mars training base, which Americans use to see the moon. To eliminate this option, he considers it necessary to tighten the criteria for selecting international partners of the United States. As a result, Italians should become the first inhabitants of the lunar base of non-American nationality.

The Turkish company Aselsan has integrated three new suspended containers for conducting electronic reconnaissance, electronic warfare and SAR mapping aboard the Bayraktar TB2 attack and reconnaissance drone from Baykar. On this occasion, Western observers note:

Russia presented a redesigned "Amur-1650" submarine project at a defense exhibition in South Africa. The new modification has received one of the most powerful weapons for non-nuclear submarines, which can now include up to 28 cruise missiles.

The curb weight of the ESOX X2 and the payload are 300 kg each (that is, the drone carries a weight equal to its own mass) With the stated potential, when upgrading the platform to 600 kg, the speed is up to 30 km/h, and the power reserve is more than 200 km on a single charge.

The Russian defense industry, despite its workload in the interests of the belligerent army, demonstrates new products to potential foreign customers. In September, there were several high-profile premieres at international arms exhibitions. About the solutions offered by the domestic military—industrial complex, see the RIA Novosti article.

"" The Russian arms manufacturer Kalashnikov has publicly presented for the first time the anti-aircraft system "St. John's Wort", which is able to effectively combat air threats at any time of the day, protecting critical infrastructure from enemy drones.

The American military leaders declare a grandiose task: military supremacy in the entire near space. At the same time, they admit that even a superpower like the United States lacks the "offensive capabilities" to do this. How does the Pentagon see a solution to this problem and why is the Moon of key importance in this case?

The solution can be applied in industries with high reliability and information security requirements

"Multilect" MLT-C server of the fifth generation (joint venture of "Azimut" State Corporation Rostec and IT holding T1) has confirmed compatibility with the Russian operating system RED OS 8.

Russian engineers have developed a gas engine for nanosatellites, which will increase the maneuverability of spacecraft and allow them to be combined into multi-satellite groupings.

"""Bars", which is positioned by the Ukrainian developer as a "drone rocket" and a "small cruise missile", was announced back in 2024, but the first photos appeared only recently. The parameters of the product and its price remained classified for a long time. But the other day, the Ukrainian manufacturer decided to reveal a number of details.

"Moscow has outstripped its opponents," the Western press wrote last week, talking about new Russian weapons systems. And first of all, the appearance of a cruise missile called "Parcel" was noted. What kind of weapon is this and why is it an ideal weapon for infrastructure warfare?

Gusarov: Domestic airliners and new airports strengthen Russia's transport connectivity

Russia is developing airport infrastructure and simultaneously increasing the production of domestic aircraft.

The Russian "Atom" electric car has been launched into mass production. The production is organized at the Moscow Automobile Plant "Moskvich", where a separate line has been created for the model. In the near future, the company expects to reach a pace of up to 20 vehicles per shift, and continue to increase volumes in 2027.

RAO "Gazprom" reports that it has started testing a new Russian gas turbine engine, which will replace hundreds of engines that were produced in Ukraine at Soviet facilities.

On September 16, the British Army demonstrated the latest MBT Challenger 3 prototype at the Defense Vehicle Dynamics 2026 (DVD 2026) Army Weapons exhibition, held at the UTAC Millbrook training ground in Bedfordshire.

""""Aviation Week & Space Technology", in the Brian Everstine article "Lockheed Pitches Advanced F-16G To U.S. Air Force" ("Lockheed offers the U.S. Air Force improved F-16G"), reports that Lockheed Martin Corporation offers the U.S. Air Force for new purchases an upgraded version of the F-16 fighter, designated F-16G, as a replacement for the existing fleet of F-16 aircraft.
