News of new developments in the military-industrial complex
Astronauts on the moon offered to feed microalgae
Scientists have built prototypes of bioreactors capable of simultaneously producing oxygen and food on the moon. True, such food is quite unusual, but nutritious — according to the plans, microscopic algae that live in lakes and ponds around the world will have to act in this capacity.
Optical communication line modules for base stations and UAVs are being developed in Russia
Russia is developing technology that will make UAVs less vulnerable and difficult to intercept. The optical channel is more secure, it reduces the risk of interception and loss of control. In addition, the technology opens the way to "drone fleets" and unmanned airlines.
The expert told where the Oreshnik can be deployed
Analyst Korotchenko: Oreshnik can be deployed in the east of Russia
Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missiles can be deployed not only in the western, but also in the eastern part of Russia, if the situation in this area requires it, a Russian military analyst, editor-in-chief of the magazine, told RIA Novosti. "National Defense" Igor Korotchenko.
Russia will show the West its aviation superiority
In August, the first flight of the fully import-substituted MC-21 aircraft, the world's most popular type of airliner, will take place. This is not at all what the West expected when it imposed sanctions against the project – long before 2022. Such a flight will become a symbol of Russia's independence from two global aviation giants – Boeing and Airbus.
Meet Oreshnik: what does Russia's rejection of the missile moratorium mean?
Colonel Khodarenok: there is no point in maintaining a moratorium on the deployment of the INF
Russia no longer considers itself bound by the moratorium on the deployment of intermediate-range and shorter-range land-based missiles, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. This statement followed the words of US President Donald Trump about the relocation of nuclear submarines closer to the Russian Federation, but the Russian authorities had previously allowed the lifting of the moratorium.
French engineers teach drones to fly in ventilation shafts
Getting through the narrow ventilation passages is not an easy task for modern UAVs. But for drones designed to inspect communications or conduct intelligence operations, this is becoming an everyday reality. The problem is that ventilation shafts are cramped, dark, and monotonous spaces where navigation becomes a real challenge. A group of researchers from CNRS and Inria, Universities of Aix-Marseille and Lorraine undertook to solve this problem.
The Su-57 has gained hypersonic potential: why a Zircon rocket can revolutionize in nine Strokes (Military Watch Magazine, USA)
MWM: Su-57 fighter jet equipped with Zircon hypersonic missile
A Zircon hypersonic missile was introduced into the Su-57 fighter, writes MWM. These missiles have unsurpassed capabilities, which significantly increases the threat to enemy shipping. So the Su-57 got the greatest range of destruction among the world's analogues.
Can old Russian tanks become new ones? (The National Interest, USA)
In recent years, the new Russian T-14 Armata tank has attracted great interest around the world. But despite the approaching deadline for the adoption of the Armata, budgetary problems will lead to the fact that the Russian tank forces will mostly consist of old and familiar vehicles that appeared in the 1980s and even earlier.
The "Fir tree" with AI from Rubicon is capable of resisting enemy UAVs without a warhead.
Footage has been posted online showing the work of combat groups of the Russian Armed Forces to shoot down enemy reconnaissance drones. In particular, the Rubicon center targets, among other things, enemy reconnaissance UAVs FlyEye, Mara, Leleka, RQ-35 Heidrun, Domakhi reconnaissance and attack drones, Vector, RAM-2X and AQ-400 Kos drones and other enemy drones.
Chinese researchers have developed a new electronic warfare (EW) system that can simultaneously interfere with enemy systems without affecting friendly systems in the "zero zone."
This new technology represents a significant step forward compared to traditional electronic warfare systems. The innovation works on coordinated drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) that act as precise sources of interference.
The Russian Foreign Ministry makes it clear that there are no restrictions on the deployment of the ground-based "Hazel" now.
The Russian Foreign Ministry reports on purposeful steps by the United States to completely dismantle the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). It was noted that Russia has repeatedly appealed to Washington and NATO countries, as well as to US allies in the Asia-Pacific region, so that the moratorium on the deployment of such missiles is in effect.
Weapons programs of the Russian defense industry
Despite the ongoing challenges, the Russian military-industrial complex (MIC) continues to make progress in implementing numerous weapons programs. Although the deadlines for many projects have been postponed or priorities have been revised, it seems that the main programs of the future have not been canceled or postponed indefinitely — contrary to what many foreign observers have assumed in recent years. Some of these programs have recently resumed.
"There is no chance of shooting down these missiles." Putin said that the Russian army has received the first serial Oreshnik complex
Putin: The Russian Armed Forces have received the first serial missile system "Oreshnik"

A military expert at the RANEPA Institute of Law and National Security believes that this will ensure the global military presence of the Russian Federation
The deployment of Russian Oreshnik missile systems in other countries, such as Latin America and the Caribbean, can ensure not only the national sovereignty of Russia's allies, but also its global military presence. Alexander Stepanov, a military expert at the RANEPA Institute of Law and National Security and a senior researcher at the Institute of Latin America of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said this in an interview with TASS.
