This article presents the views of experts on the possibility of the Iranians creating a BR with a nuclear warhead (warhead) and the prospects for the construction of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).

Russian drones – especially barrage ammunition – have become one of the most powerful means of destroying armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the sky of the special operation. However, the same devices, and of a new generation, are being actively created in the West. This threat seems to be fully realized, and special anti-aircraft systems are being created in the country to combat them. What do they look like and how can they be made even better?

The US Army has been testing new Oshkosh FMTV A2 trucks for four weeks, designed to replace the old FMTVS.

In the United States, the military department conducted "successful" tests of an artificial intelligence model with some "secret data". This is reported by the Bloomberg news agency, referring to the US military.

The modern Russian engineering reconnaissance hovercraft IRK is quite compact: its overall length is 7.8 m, width is 3.1 m. Height - 3 m. It can perform a large number of special tasks, both on water and on land.

How textile devices will be useful in the fields of transport, medicine and fire safety

Russian specialists have created conductive coatings for application to textile materials. They will allow you to create electronic devices on a fabric basis.

An electric SUV based on the legendary UAZ-452, which is called "Electro-Loaf", has begun the first stage of sea trials. In the autumn, the Crimean company "Elkafa" should start pilot production, and in 2024 it is planned to start mass production of electric "Loaves".

The uniqueness of the tests consisted in taking off and landing in real conditions from the helipad of a drifting nuclear icebreaker of FSUE Atomflot

The software and hardware complex of ice reconnaissance based on a deck-based drone has been successfully tested in Arctic conditions.

The US Army has announced the achievement of full combat readiness of the first experimental battery of the Mid-Range Capability (MRC, Typhon) ground-based missile system. This is stated in a special statement by the press service of the US Army, made following the results of the tests.

The Russian army tested a promising drone "Pacer" in battle. And in an atypical role. This, as noted by the military, will negate one of the main advantages of the AFU artillery.

Russian specialists from USPU have developed a promising technique for creating metal alloys, according to which they can be given certain properties. This is a rather serious step in terms of import substitution, which makes it possible to establish the production in Russia of critically necessary parts previously purchased abroad.

We are already used to the fact that Tiger armored vehicles can carry a wide variety of weapons and special equipment. For example, anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems, mortars, etc. An interesting option is the BRSHM, an armored reconnaissance and assault vehicle introduced several years ago.

A unique part will increase the engine power for aircraft by five times

MAI has developed a technology for the production of one of the main components of an electric motor — coils made of high-temperature superconductors. Due to the properties of the material, the part increases the power of machines running on electricity by five times without increasing their mass.

NASA decided to close the program started in 2016 to create an all-electric experimental X-57 Maxwell aircraft, which never started flying, although it was planned to take it into the air at the end of 2023.

How was the carrier of the multifunctional Aegis system born

In the process of creating the Aegis multifunctional weapon system (MSO), one of the priorities was to determine the appearance of promising surface combat ships – potential carriers of the new MSO.

The US Army announced that on June 27, 2023, a successful demonstration and test launch of the Tomahawk cruise missile was made from the mobile ground launcher of the first experimental battery of the new American medium-Range and shorter-range Mid-Range Capability (MRC, official name Typhon) manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corporation.

Development Director of the NGO "Kaysant" Alena Balandina noted that negotiations are underway to conduct joint tests of the device with the Ministry of Defense and law enforcement agencies

Russian specialists have developed a mobile electronic warfare station (EW) "Argus-Antifuria" to suppress any unmanned aerial vehicles, including long-range combat drones. This was reported to TASS by the development director of the NGO "Kaysant" Alena Balandina.

Israel is considered the world's leading platform in the field of creating barrage ammunition. The main companies operating in this segment are uVision with the Hero family of kamikaze drones and IAI with Nagor. The latter were massively used by Azerbaijan during the Karabakh conflict in 2020, marking the beginning of the "drone revolution" in military affairs.

On June 26, the French Defense Ministry launched a demonstration sample of a hypersonic glider, designated VMaX. The purpose of the flight was to collect data in real conditions to adjust the hypersonic weapons program for future testing.
