News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

The Keldysh Center, located in the Moscow Likhobors, has been engaged in space engines since its foundation. Now work is underway here on one of the most promising projects of Russian cosmonautics – a nuclear tug for interplanetary flights "Zeus".

The military industry of North Korea has achieved great success in creating various multiple launch rocket systems.

With reference to Chinese media, Western sources announced the first flight of a "mysterious Chinese helicopter of innovative design" intended for military use. A self-funded project for its development was launched in March 2019 by Changhe Aircraft Industry Group and the China Helicopter Research and Development Institute (China Helicopter Research and Development Institute). Both structures are members of the China Aviation Industry Corporation (AVIC).

A video with a robot dog trying to shoot from a real weapon mounted on his back is rapidly gaining popularity on Twitter. The robot purposefully approaches the targets, aims and tries to hit them — fortunately, so far unsuccessfully. The recoil of the weapon is too strong for such a weak chassis, and the robot does not really know how to adjust its actions.

The British government has approved the initiative of Altitude Angel to create an air corridor "Skyway" for testing UAVs of any type. It will be the longest highway of its kind in the world with a length of 265 km, which will connect the cities of Reading, Oxford, Cambridge and Milton Keynes. Access to conventional aircraft will be closed here, but drone manufacturers will be able to use the Skyway without hindrance.

A series of joint events of the Board of the Military Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has ended in the Military Innovation Technopolis "ERA".

The Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering (Tsniitochmash) has created a device "Diana", which allows for instant forced stopping of machines. This is reported by TASS, referring to Rostec.

The head of the US Navy's Air Warfare Directorate, Rear Admiral Andrew Loisel, answered questions from the Naval News online publication about the prospects for creating combat drones for the US army. According to him, the program for creating new UAVs will develop in three directions, based on the technical characteristics and purposes of using drones.

General Vladimir Popov told what weapons the Swallow UAV can use against the AFU

During a special operation in Ukraine, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the first time used the unmanned Lastochka complex. This is a light attack drone, whose combat load allows you to destroy enemy equipment with "small specialized ammunition". "Newspaper.Ru" found out how this drone works.

On July 19, 2022, the first flight of the first flight prototype of the promising South Korean multifunctional fighter KF-21 Boramae (serial and tail number "001"), created under the KF-X program, took place at the airfield of the head enterprise of the South Korean aircraft corporation Korean Aerospace Industries (KAI) in Sacheon (which is also the base of the South Korean Air Force). The duration of the first flight was 33 minutes.

The Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57 will receive a modernized communications complex, the work is being carried out by NPP "Flight", part of the holding "Roselectronics". The complex is entering the testing stage.

Problems of serial production of the Altai tank

During a meeting of the Turkish parliamentary committee, where financial reports of state-owned companies were discussed, it once again became clear that no progress has been made in the production of the Altay main battle tank, known as the "first national battle tank".

On July 19, the first test flight of the promising fighter KF-21 "Borame" (previously designated KF-X) of national design took place at the airfield in Sacheon (Gyeongsangnam-do province).

The layout of the vehicle in comparison with the tank has been seriously changed in order to give the best possible clearance capabilities. Unmanned and electromagnetic effects on mines significantly distinguish it from foreign samples.

General Novikov explained how the Pass-1 mine clearance systems are used in Ukraine

The robotic mine clearance complex "Passage-1" is used by the Russian army during a special military operation in Ukraine. This was reported by Rossiyskaya Gazeta. "Newspaper.Ru" understood the specifics of the complex.

The prototype of the promising multifunctional fighter KF-21 Boramae generation 4++ performed its first flight, Bloomberg reports, referring to the defense Development Agency of the Ministry of National Defense of South Korea.

The world's most powerful attack submarine has been commissioned; the combat power of Russian Navy submarines is being restored

Despite the fact that the Russian navy is experiencing serious problems with surface combat potential, the situation in the field of submarines is completely different. New Russian submarines again threaten the submarine fleet of the US Navy, writes JB Press.

Belgorod: a giant submarine for nuclear war

The giant Belgorod submarine is designed to launch the Poseidon underwater drone with a nuclear charge and can serve as a base for spy platforms operating underwater, Asia Times writes. In addition, it can become the location of the Losharik submarine.

According to Japanese media reports, a promising F-3 fighter for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (Japan Air Self–Defense Force, JASDF, hereinafter referred to as VSYA ) will be developed jointly with the UK.

Specialists of TsAGI named after Professor N.E.Zhukovsky (part of the Research Center "Institute named after N.E.Zhukovsky") continue to develop new technical solutions aimed at improving the efficiency of existing and new rotary-wing aircraft, including the tiltrotor scheme.
