News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

We talk about new technologies in the domestic helicopter industry

The aviation industry today strives not just to create new planes and helicopters, but to control the condition of already flying machines, to know in advance about emerging problems and not to repair, but not to allow breakdowns.

Using the Falcon Heavy superheavy space rocket from SpaceX, the Pentagon launches a new generation Tetra-1 small satellite and another military spacecraft into geostationary Earth orbit, information about which is not reported.

The United States no longer considers the previously existing approaches to the development of a limited number of large satellites and large ground-based systems justified. It took many years and a lot of money to implement these goals, now it is not relevant. The Pentagon's position was voiced by Assistant Secretary of the US Air Force for Space Frank Calvelli.

The President added that the work to meet the needs of the Armed Forces should not be built bureaucratically

Russian weapons must be constantly improved, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday at a meeting of the coordinating council for ensuring the needs of the army.

The head of the Office of Strategic Systems Programs of the US Navy, Vice Admiral Johnny Wolf, is confident that it will be possible to install hypersonic weapons on a Zumwalt-class destroyer in 2025 and on a Virginia-class submarine in 2029, writes Defense News.

The trained algorithms are incredibly effective in detecting non-obvious relationships in complex systems or signs of approaching events that are invisible at first glance. Therefore, they are increasingly being used to analyze the telemetry of remote equipment in order to respond to possible failures in advance. A logical field of application is cosmonautics, where predicting any incidents will give operators on Earth precious time to plan a response.

The United States sent the newest reconnaissance aircraft to the borders of Ukraine

On October 31, an American Challenger 650 reconnaissance aircraft was flying in Romanian airspace, a number of Russian media reported, citing data from the Flightradar24 web service. Earlier, the same aircraft was spotted in Poland. "Newspaper.Ru" - about the purposes of such flights in the sky near the border of Ukraine, about the ability of such aircraft to detect an aerial target and systematically adjust the work of air defense.

MWM: Su-57 will receive Saturn-30 engines with next-generation capabilities

Recently, the upgraded Su-57 made its first flight, writes MWM. It is assumed that there is a possibility of installing a second-stage engine on a fighter. And the new Saturn-30 engine will provide it with unsurpassed flight performance in 2025.

The Kiev nationalist regime, which regularly receives NATO weapons for shelling Russian regions, has focused on drones, artillery, tactical armored vehicles and other platforms and systems. However, small arms still play a very big role in combat. As part of the military sponsorship of Ukrainian militants, the US army is secretly in the process of evaluating and deploying a number of new small arms and related technologies.

According to relevant foreign publications, the Agency for Advanced Research Projects of the US Department of Defense (DARPA) in August 2022 announced plans to begin testing the first crewless ship (No Manning Required Ship, NOMARS) at the end of 2024.

The Turkish Altay main battle tank has again encountered difficulties, the delivery of the first production tanks may not take place due to the lack of engines and transmission. This is reported by the American edition of Defense News, citing a source.

According to the SpaceNews web resource, on October 25, 2022, Elon Musk's SpaceX company began accepting pre-orders for a flat-panel antenna for the terminals of the Starlink system, which will allow ground vehicles to use the Starlink broadband service while driving.

A new modification of the anti-drone gun has been developed by specialists of the company "Laboratory PPSH" (countering industrial espionage). The new electronic warfare system, called the LPD-802, was developed on the basis of the LPD-801 anti-drone rifle used by our troops in the SVO zone.

It will promote universal development, Beijing noted

The Chinese Space Station is open for cooperation with all countries, its task is to promote universal socio-economic development. This was stated on Tuesday by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian.

Last week, the Republic of Korea announced a large-scale modernization of its Navy, providing for the replacement of one of the three fleets by the naval command of unmanned ships. Modernization also refers to the reform of the Marine Corps of the Republic of Korea on the American model. It will become an independent structure from the Navy.

After SpaceX became a full participant in the competition to create a lunar landing module (HLS) for the Artemis program, the pace of Starship development slowed down radically. The reason for everything is increased safety requirements: the explosions familiar to engineers from Elon Musk's team (that is, I'm sorry, unplanned lightning disassembly of prototypes) began to cause an order of magnitude more questions from NASA.

This November marks the tenth anniversary of the commissioning of one of the most successful developments of the Tula Instrument Design Bureau in recent years − the anti-aircraft missile and cannon complex "Pantsir-C". The system is supplied to Russian troops and abroad, and is constantly being upgraded.

A video from Kurgan was distributed with a prototype of a B-18 infantry fighting vehicle manufactured by Kurgan Machine-Building Plant JSC, which is a modified BMP-2 chassis with enhanced protection, equipped with a developed by the Design Bureau of Instrument Engineering named after. Academician A. G. Shipunov" (KBP, Tula) with the TKB-973 Epoch (32B01) unmanned combat module.

On the battlefields in Ukraine, weapons are being tested right now, which should replace the legendary Soviet SVD sniper rifle. We are talking about the new microwave-54 rifles (Chukavin sniper rifle). The fighters who had dealings with the new weapon told the newspaper VZGLYAD about its features and differences.

In the dusty desert of Arizona, an unusual vehicle is riding – an inhabited rover for a future lunar mission. It was developed at NASA specifically for the Artemis program, which assumes that astronauts will make long hikes and set up camps away from the main lunar base. To do this, they need something more than just a trolley with a motor, so in the end, engineers designed a full-fledged mobile home for trips on the Moon.
