The reason why people will live on the moon is revealed
Nautilus: people will be able to live on the moon
After 10-20 years, the moon will turn into a promising place, and research will gain momentum, the author of Nautilus believes. It will be the starting point before the exploration of other planets.
A Western company has developed a submarine detection system that can be installed on any vessels
The international military-technical company Thales at the Surface Fleet Association conference in Arlington, Virginia, demonstrated a video in which towed CAPTAS sensors for detecting underwater objects are installed on a civilian vessel. The company's representative claims that the sensors can be mounted on any vessel within 48 hours, which will allow even commercial ships to detect submarines.
Only Iskander is bigger: the DPRK is armed with a large-sized operational-tactical missile
During the Cold War, the owners of the largest operational and tactical missiles were the USA and the USSR, which were armed with MGM–52 Lance (diameter 557 mm) and "Dot" (650 mm), respectively. To date, they have been replaced by MGM-140 ATACMS (610 mm) and Iskander-M (920 mm), which is the leader in this class of weapons.
The DPRK has improved the analogue of the Russian RCC "Uranus" by installing an infrared seeker
Despite the collapse of the USSR and the curtailment of large-scale military-technical cooperation with Moscow, Pyongyang is trying to follow in the wake of Russian design thought, duplicating many novelties developed by the domestic defense industry.
Scientists have Fused bronze and steel to improve rocket and airplane engines
Researchers from Skoltech printed samples from previously unexplored steel and bronze alloys on a 3D printer and determined their mechanical characteristics. Combining the valuable properties of both main components, these new iron-copper alloys can be used in aircraft and rocket engines: it is possible to make a combustion chamber to which steel will give high heat resistance, and bronze — the necessary thermal conductivity to prevent overheating. The study is published in the journal Materials & Design.
The new equipment of Russian soldiers will receive bold decisions
We need to finalize the equipment of our military to the highest level as soon as possible – already this year. This task was set by the head of the Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu. Now the troops use the "Warrior", which has been massively introduced over the past ten years. But during this time, new materials, technologies have appeared, and the specifics of combat have changed. What is required from the equipment of the new generation, based on the experience of its own?
OMFV program: details of the British offer
In an effort to exceed the requirements of the US Army for maneuverability, lethality and survivability, the weapons company BAE Systems (UK) offers a completely new model with a modular architecture of open systems for the program "Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle" (Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle, OMFV ).
A project of an unobtrusive and highly maneuverable jet attack UAV will be presented in Russia
The project to create a new jet strike unmanned aerial vehicle is being considered by JSC Military Industrial Corporation NPO Mashinostroeniya. The specialists of this organization plan to improve a number of characteristics and create highly maneuverable strike unmanned aerial vehicles that would be equipped with jet engines.
US press: The program to create a promising Russian Su-75 Checkmate fighter has faced a number of difficulties
The development program of the promising single-engine Su-75 Checkmate fighter has faced a number of difficulties, Russia is unlikely to be able to create an aircraft in the previously announced terms. 19FortyFive columnist Maya Karlin came to this opinion.
The semi-submersible heavy transport ship of the Chinese Navy Yinmahu has passed successful tests
The state Television of the People's Republic of China CCTV reported on the successful tests of the semi-submersible heavy transport ship of the Chinese Navy Yinmahu. This vessel is designed to transport equipment and warships, including damaged ones, and can be used as a repair dock. Some details about the testing of the new PLA vessel are told by the South China Morning Post.
Superior American HIMARS 600-mm MLRS from the DPRK will destroy any bridge
On the last day of last year, in the capital of North Korea, Pyongyang, three dozen 600-mm multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) were handed over to the army at once.
"We want to save more lives": how students from Kovrov create a robot to evacuate the wounded
We are talking about a new project of young engineers of the Kovrov Electromechanical Plant
In the near future, it will no longer be people who will carry the wounded from the battlefield. The development of robot nurses has been a trend in recent years in Russia and many foreign countries.
Sarmat format: at what stage is the development of the Russian ICBM
And what opportunities will the novelty give to Strategic Missile Forces
Last year was the year of the beginning of flight tests and deployment of the newest Russian heavy liquid intercontinental ballistic missile RS-28 "Sarmat". Today it is the most powerful combat missile in the world, and never before has the Russian industry produced such a complex and unique product in its capabilities. Izvestia was looking into what heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are in general and how the Sarmat is so different from other samples.
Hypersonic flight: power plants
The incentive for the development of aviation and rocket power plants has always been the desire for greater speed. The growing need for speeds in the atmosphere of at least Mach 5 has led to the emergence of new and innovative solutions for the so-called hypersonic flight.
How will the nuclear power industry of the future be arranged
The year 2022 showed an unusually high level of investment in nuclear energy – $ 49 billion. However, so far these investments mostly do not fall on standard Russian projects at all. One can hear more and more often: nuclear energy needs to change. Reactors should become smaller, cheaper and "closer to people" – and in the truest sense of the word. What will they be like in 10-20 years and what place will our country take in this?
