News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

Spiegel: Bundeswehr is testing an AI platform for combat operations

The German defense startup Helsing has introduced an AI-based platform, writes Spiegel. Europe is trying to get rid of its dependence on American military technology. However, the question remains how predictable the actions of artificial intelligence can be, and whether this will lead to accidental casualties.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of South Korea, Chin Yong-song, flew a KF-21 Borame fighter jet. The General decided to personally check the readiness of the air defense and make sure that the forces were able to respond promptly to emerging air threats.

The French ArianeGroup presented a sea-based ballistic anti-ship missile at the Euronaval 2026 exhibition in Paris, expanding the capabilities of the B-Strike family to strike ships and mobile ground targets at a range of over 1,000 km.

A Russian underwater reconnaissance drone may appear in the underwater depths of the World Ocean, moving in the water like a large ramp. Working, of course, for Russia.

On March 17, 2025, a Superjet with factory number 95157 took off from Dzemgi airfield. Prior to the conversion, he flew with Russian-French sam146s. New pylons were installed under the PD-8 — the engine attachment points to the wing. The engine control system was updated, and some of the old equipment was retained.

The new Il-114-300 passenger aircraft, which is being put into mass production, is not just a restart of the Il-114 created at the end of the USSR, but a seriously modified machine taking into account modern realities of civil aviation.

The designers managed to combine high fire efficiency with mobility

Russian gunsmiths have developed an Elbrus light sniper rifle for special forces with a powerful long-range caliber cartridge.338. Unlike most rifles in this class, which require manual reloading after each shot, the Elbrus is semi—automatic.

Israel's Rafael Advanced Defense Systems has unveiled a new Super Ice long-range cruise missile equipped with a 1,000 lb (about 450 kg) warhead and compatible with air, land and sea launch platforms. The missile is designed to destroy high-value strategic targets in difficult conditions.

infoBRICS: The United States is strikingly behind Russia in the development of hypersonic weapons

The United States has been trying to create a hypersonic missile for years, but has suffered one failure after another, infoBRICS writes. The AGM-183A project has been canceled twice, and new developments are behind schedule. It is not possible to catch up with Russia: its technologies in this area have gone far ahead.

A plan has been developed to preserve the fleet of first-generation Superjets that were left without access to the French SaM-146 engine. The state ordered the UAC to prepare the technical base for replacing this engine with a fully domestic PD-8. This will save a significant part of the aircraft currently flying. Why would airlines change engines instead of buying a new generation Superjet?

In particular, they raised the issue of the reasons for the failure of the M10 Booker light tank program, for which GDLS was responsible. It is noted that the emphasis was placed on the speed of development, and therefore the technical problems that arose during it were ignored.

For the first time, the Royal Navy of Great Britain successfully launched attack drones from an aircraft carrier, which was an important step towards transforming the methods of warfare at sea.

Several important steps have been taken by the rear of the Armed Forces to improve the lives of soldiers, primarily in the special operation zone. The changes relate to field uniforms, cooking methods, and hygiene procedures where there are no kitchens or bathrooms, that is, at the forefront. What exactly are we talking about?

TASS: Russian Filin missile undermines the economy of the Ukrainian air defense

The use of the new Russian cruise missile "Filin" in the area of the SVR can create serious difficulties for the air defense system of Ukraine. The pro-Russian underground claims that the use of the missile has already caused a "quiet panic" in Kiev.

Four countries currently have their own production technologies for 130 nm class steppers: the Netherlands (ASML), Japan (Nikon and Canon), China (SMEE and a number of other players) and now Russia.

After China deployed the DF-21 ground-based ballistic missile systems, they were dubbed the "aircraft carrier killers" due to their hypersonic flight speed. The rocket follows a suborbital "bell-shaped" trajectory before rapidly approaching the target.

Special containers allow the use of standard ammunition to combat UAVs, and their effectiveness has already been evaluated in the free zone

Anti-drone ammunition reloading kits are ready for mass production in Russia. They allow you to replace a regular bullet with a special shot container in a few seconds.

On November 6, the Committee for the Review of Defense Projects under the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Korea approved the basic plan of the program for the creation of nuclear submarines. The decision was another step in the implementation of a key agreement with the United States in the field of naval technology.

For the first time, the Ministry of Defense openly revealed what had been leaked from the special operation zone for several months: Russian helicopters are being used as platforms for launching Dan-T ammunition. What is this attack drone, what are its significant advantages over other similar weapons, and why are we actually facing a new type of Russian cruise missiles?

OREEXPO-2026 showed modern models of small arms, anti-drone turrets and bulletproof vests with unusual prints

Large-caliber rifles and anti-drone turrets are juxtaposed with floral and leopard-print body armor. OREXPO-2026 in Gostiny Dvor combined developments for a wide variety of tasks — from small arms to individual protection. Izvestia studied the most interesting exhibits that can be seen until November 7.
