News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

The experience of Russia's special operation in Ukraine has shown the growing role of UAVs in military conflicts. At the same time, unmanned and unmanned vehicles are capable of solving not only shock and reconnaissance tasks, but also logistical ones. For this purpose, a transport drone has been developed in Russia, the range of which reaches 600 km. What is the peculiarity of this development and under what conditions can the production of such UAVs become serial?

In Russia, work continues on the creation of new unmanned aerial vehicles of various types, including transport, capable of delivering the necessary cargo over a considerable distance without human intervention. A source in the Russian defense industry told about a new development in this area.

Taiwan continues to prepare for a confrontation with mainland China, as Beijing does not intend to back down from its statements about the indivisibility of China. Taipei is urgently arming itself, not only buying American, mainly weapons, but also developing its own. According to the South China Morning Post, a new extended-range cruise missile was tested on the island.

In Novosibirsk, Russian engineers have developed a micro-UAV "Bumblebee" on the British model. This is a helicopter-type drone.

Former National Security adviser to the US President Robert Charles O'Brien said that the country urgently needs to increase the pace of production of unmanned systems, including cars, since today China acts as the main competitor of the United States in this area. According to him, Beijing has every chance to push Washington into the background in this key industry for it.

Russia will launch a new drone, much faster than the currently used "Iranian" Shahed drones, which received the name "Geranium" in the Russian army. A new plant will be opened in Tatarstan. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.

In the future, the Russian army may receive equipment that makes the fighter invisible to thermal imagers and allows him to merge with the terrain. The development of chameleon equipment is already underway, said Vladimir Kormushin, CEO of Cuirass CJSC.

The frigate "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov", performing the tasks of a long-range campaign, for the first time in the framework of international exercises will perform a combat training launch of a hypersonic missile "Zircon". This will happen during the exercises of the naval forces of the Republic of South Africa (South Africa) and China, a source close to the military-industrial complex told TASS.

Wired: The US has developed spy satellites for conducting space warfare

Spy satellites are military projects of different states. But it seems that private companies are interfering in the military space business. The US Federal Communications Commission has just filed documents with a detailed plan for the test launch of two private reconnaissance satellites, Wired writes.

According to the Chinese edition of Global Times, the concept of a new generation of fighters was presented in China. The concept was presented by the Chinese State Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC).

American researchers are currently testing ground subsystems for servicing the underwater vehicle and will soon begin its direct underwater tests. This was recently announced at the American Society of Naval Engineering Technologies by Rob Ibera, chief assistant to the head of the PMS406 unmanned marine systems program.

Andrey Grigoriev, Director General of the FPI, spoke about the results of work over the past ten years and plans for the future in an interview with TASS.

Tests of the newest light tactical all-terrain vehicle (buggy), developed, among other things, for use in the zone of a special military operation, have begun in Khabarovsk.

A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has experimentally selected the shape of a toroidal screw, which creates the lowest sound volume in the frequency range 1-5 kHz. This is the most sensitive area for the human ear — babies cry and nasty multicopter motors squeal at this frequency. The latter has become an incentive for research – if people want to see a lot of useful drones around in the future, they should be quiet.

The President of Russia has approved a list of instructions following the results of the conference "Journey into the world of artificial Intelligence", the Kremlin website reports.
