The total number of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is about 170,000 people. In accordance with the current military doctrine, in the event of a conflict, they will have to act not only in open terrain, but also in urban conditions, while minimizing their losses. In this regard, the command of the Israeli army is actively implementing combat robotic systems.

Although it's too early to talk about the "death hour" of traditional cryptography, it's time to create "skill sets" in quantum computing to be sure that states will have the necessary tools to deal with potential cyber threats at the moment when quantum technologies become viable – and this will happen within five years, according to the technical director of Dell (Chief Technology Officer, CTO) John Roese, writes ZDNet on Tuesday.

China's next step towards providing a higher missile defense capability will be to conduct tests to respond to more complex scenarios. Even Chinese analysts admit that a lower success rate of US missile defense does not necessarily mean that China has surpassed the American system, because tests conducted by the US may include other and more complex simulation parameters.

The Russian developer of cybersecurity products based on post-quantum cryptography, qApp, has completed a pilot project to demonstrate the operation of a library of post-quantum algorithms on devices using domestic processors from Baikal Electronics.

Kaspersky Lab has joined the shareholders of the startup Motif NT, a developer of neuromorphic processors that mimic the work of the human brain. Such processors are more productive and more energy efficient than conventional CPUs. The share of the "Laboratory" was 15%, the parties did not disclose the amount of the transaction. According to experts, it could amount to tens of millions of rubles.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that modern S-500 air defense systems are already being delivered to the troops, and the heavy Sarmat ICBM will be on combat duty at the end of 2022.

The Russian Armed Forces began to receive air defense systems that have no analogues in the world About the S-500 Prometheus. This was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting with graduates of Russian military schools, as quoted by Interfax.

By the end of 2022, Rosgvardiya will formulate technical requirements for the development of a serial version of the promising Marker robot, first it will patrol critical facilities, and then catch and suppress drones, a source in the military—industrial complex told RIA Novosti.

The Russian army aviation, as part of a special military operation, uses a new high-precision aviation missile "305" to destroy important military facilities. This was reported by an informed source.
