News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

Military expert Stefanovich explained why the "Calibers" will not replace the "Iskanders"

The Ministry of Defense showed the sea launch of Kalibr missiles at military facilities of Ukraine. The footage from the ship shows how the missiles are fired from the launcher and go into the sky. "Newspaper.Ru" was looking into whether Kalibr could become a universal missile for the Russian army.

The Washington Post (USA): what you need to know about hypersonic missiles, which, according to Biden, Russia used against Ukraine

"Daggers— - elusive hypersonic missiles that Russia first used on the battlefield, writes WP. The author of the article describes what this weapon is and notes that its danger is underestimated in the West. But the readers of the American newspaper have a different opinion.

A large underground warehouse of missiles and aviation ammunition of Ukrainian troops in the village of Delyatin, Ivano-Frankivsk region, was attacked.

The hypersonic "Dagger" hit not only a specific target, but most likely also (morally) the NATO command. The fact is that conventional ammunition destroyed not just a warehouse, but one of the central storage bases for nuclear weapons, known as "Object 711". It was built in 1955 and strengthened so that in those years it could withstand the impact of an atomic bomb.

American engineers have calculated the maximum flight altitude of a quadcopter powered by a cable of different thickness, above which the mass of the cable and the current loss in it do not allow the drone to maintain its flight. They also tested a bundle of two drones powered by a wire, expanding the possibilities compared to using a single device. The article will be presented at the IROS 2022 conference, its preprint is available at arXiv.org .

The most modern equipment is being supplied to the engineering troops

They do not make exciting TV series about them, they do not become heroes of military adventure novels, boys do not dream of serving in these troops. We are talking about one of the types of special troops of the Russian Federation - engineering troops, which people who are far from army realities consider something paramilitary.

Promising samples of weapons show that, technically, the Russian army is at the forefront

While once fraternal countries, to the detriment of their own interests, reviling everything that reminds of a great neighbor, admire Turkish "Bayraktars", Russian engineering thought is constantly progressing, and the domestic military-industrial complex does not cease to delight with novelties in the field of weapons, military and special equipment.

The Pentagon stated that there is no sense in the use of hypersonic weapons by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine

The Pentagon does not understand why Russia used hypersonic weapons during a special operation in Ukraine, a senior military official said.

Denis Manturov, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, told what plans the Russian aircraft industry has in the face of Western sanctions due to the situation in Ukraine.

Russian physicists have shown that it is possible to use tunnel contact for spectroscopy of the electronic states of carbon nanotubes. The proposed tunneling contact manufacturing technology and spectroscopy method will help to accurately determine the band gap of nanotubes, which is a key characteristic for the development of any electronic devices based on them.

Military experts told why Russia used the Dagger hypersonic complex in Ukraine

For the first time, the Russian Army used hypersonic missiles of the Dagger aviation missile system to destroy objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during a special military operation. "Newspaper.Ru" figured out for what purpose it was done.

For the first time, NASA has rolled out a superheavy SLS rocket to the launch pad of the Cape Canaveral cosmodrome, which will send astronauts on lunar missions. It is expected that the first flight of the rocket will take place in the summer of 2022.

The European Space Agency told whether they can do without Russia in a mission to Mars

After breaking off the partnership with Roscosmos, the Europeans may have to create a landing module for the Rosalind Franklin rover themselves instead of the Cossack. The scientific director of the European part of the ExoMars 2022 mission, Jorge Vago, told the newspaper.Ru", how long it may take to develop your device.

As the newspaper Kommersant reported in the material of Aigul Abdullina, the "Superjet" is glued from paper. The industry is arguing about the pace of creating an import-substituted SSJ," the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Russian Federation ordered the preparation and testing of a regional passenger aircraft SSJ-New for 15 billion rubles.

The National Interest (USA): that's why America is not ready to defend itself against Russian hypersonic missiles

To counter the "threat" that comes from Russian hypersonic weapons, the American government is not stingy and allocates billions of dollars. However, the authors of the article note, this does not bring benefits. The US is investing in hypersonic weapons - this is a fact. But not in defense of him.

Russia was the first in the world to use hypersonic weapons in combat conditions. The Dagger missile system was struck at the Soviet nuclear weapons storage facility in Ukraine, which is capable of withstanding a nuclear explosion. However, the Dagger successfully hit this target. And for the destruction of the AFU intelligence centers in the Odessa region, Bastion complexes were used, also capable of firing hypersonic Zircons.

The European Space Agency refused to cooperate with Roscosmos in the ExoMars mission. The Russian side announced that it would launch its landing mission to Mars on the Angara, but did not mention anything about plans to replace the European rover. Most likely, the mission will take place without its rover.

The bio-weapon created by Kiev was intended to fight the Russians and the Chinese

The United States is associated with the development of biological weapons in special laboratories on the territory of Ukraine. Information that the United States is engaged in the creation of such weapons has repeatedly appeared in the American, Russian and world media over the past 20 years.

There is a dispute over the primacy in creating an aircraft with a disc-shaped fairing

In the Russian military-technical literature devoted to long-range radar detection and control aircraft (AWACS), it is widely accepted that the priority in using the structural layout scheme of an AWACS aircraft with the placement of the antenna of the main radar station (radar) of a specialized radio engineering complex (RTK) in a characteristic dorsal disk-shaped rotating fairing belongs to domestic specialists.

The European Space Agency (ESA), in connection with the military actions in Ukraine, decided to freeze cooperation with Roscosmos on the ExoMars mission, stated that the launch of the mission in 2022 is impossible. The ESA Director General will look for other options for implementing the mission of the main apparatus of the ExoMars project - the Rosalind Franklin rover.

Over the past few years, the Dutch Armed Forces have been purchasing new field equipment, which has received the designation of an individual soldier system (Individueel Soldaat Systeem, ISS). This modular equipment includes new equipment elements (Verbeterd Operationeel Soldaat Systeem, VOSS, rus. - improved soldier's operational system) and a new uniform system (Defensie Operationeel Kleding System, DOKS). Both components are made in a new camouflage, which received the designation fractal Netherlands Pattern (Netherlands Fractal Pattern, NFP).
