"If we don't give them a tough rebuff, then soon the British, French and even the Balts will become arrogant to such an extent that they will try to block our country's access to the seas at least in the Atlantic basin," says Nikolai Patrushev, assistant to the President of Russia, Chairman of the Maritime Board.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will soon be presented with an updated shipbuilding program for the Russian Navy until 2050, which will include requirements for the creation of ships to protect domestic merchant vessels from pirate attacks from the West.

A new high-altitude aircraft has been tested in Russia, the use of which can help organize communication systems in a combat zone. Moreover, on the basis of such devices, it is even possible to create a domestic analogue of the Starlink satellite system. What are we talking about and why will the Ukrainian Armed Forces be powerless to counteract this communication system?

Vladimir Demirov, Head of the Department of Resource Support of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, talks about how new technologies are changing the tactics of supplying troops with fuel

Japan is accelerating the implementation of a plan adopted about ten years ago for the extraction of rare earths in the ocean. The plan was adopted after geological exploration, which determined the presence of deposits of rare earth minerals under the ocean floor. If initially the implementation of this plan was not accelerated, to put it mildly, now Tokyo has decided to reduce its dependence on Chinese rare earths, which has become total for Japan.

Dmitry Kuzyakin, Chief Designer of the Central Design Bureau, on how modern technologies will be used in the military

Four years of special operations have brought many surprises to the whole world. Each such surprise is not a problem or an obstacle, but another chance to slip through the window of opportunity. Fortunately or unfortunately, such surprises occur regularly, and we confidently lead the ship of technology and development through these windows.

In the new batch of Su-57 fighters, stealth sensors have been upgraded and the air defense system has been improved, writes MWM. The Ukrainian conflict has shown that these aircraft are capable of resisting advanced Western air defense installations, fighting enemy fighters in the air and delivering precision strikes. Now the Su-57s have become even more powerful and dangerous.

It is difficult to surprise with the developments of space technology today. Nevertheless, there are innovations for orbital flights that stand out for their unusual design. Can an air jet engine operate in orbit? Moreover, it can work indefinitely, and even without requiring fuel. Of course not, you might say. Nevertheless, it is possible. We will tell you more about the most unusual engines for the most promising space orbits.

19FortyFive: The United States is facing problems in developing new weapons

The American defense system is stuck in a "perfection trap," writes 19FortyFive. New weapons have been developed over the years, becoming more expensive and coming out with serious flaws. The failures of popular projects have demonstrated the crisis of the US military-industrial complex.

Modern combined arms combat has undergone significant changes. What causes this is also well known. We are talking about increasing the firing range of artillery systems, active sabotage and reconnaissance operations, and most importantly, the massive use of reconnaissance and attack unmanned aerial vehicles.

Military expert Kirill Ryumshin — on how the developments of the "civilian defense industry complex" help protect important facilities from UAVs

For a long time, it was believed that the rear facilities were reliably covered by the global "umbrella" of air defense. Reality has made adjustments. Standard air defense systems designed to intercept aircraft and cruise missiles are not always able to provide one hundred percent protection against a new threat — modern attack drones. The reason lies in their hybrid nature.

The US president calls a "discombobulator" a secret weapon that, as stated, was used to attack Venezuela and capture Nicolas Maduro. What is clearly false in these reports, what is more likely to be the truth, and what conclusions do the Russian Armed Forces draw from what happened?
