News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

Such devices can easily be turned into anti-satellite devices

A group of experts from Russia, the United States and China proposed to the United Nations a project on space debris removal and information exchange in this area. Currently, the development of orbital wipers is underway in several countries, and private companies have their own projects. The danger is that no one controls them, and cleaning devices can be turned into anti-satellite combat stations. Which countries are developing such technology, what it is and how to avoid a "junk" arms race in space — in the Izvestia material.

Pseudo–satellites are unmanned vehicles that perform the same functions as orbiting satellites (telecommunications, intelligence gathering, and so on), but at the same time operate not outside the planet, but in its stratosphere. The category of high-altitude pseudo-satellites includes UAVs capable of reaching heights of more than 20 km.

It will make it possible to thwart enemy attacks without disrupting the operation of the air harbor's radio equipment

The new airport protection system from UAVs will make it possible to thwart enemy attacks without interfering with the operation of flight radio and communications equipment during takeoff and landing. First of all, it should be used at airports located in the regions adjacent to the line of combat contact — Rostov, Voronezh, Belgorod, experts say. The novelty has proven its effectiveness at the ranges of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

One of the sections of the recently published collection of the IMEMO named after E. M. Primakov and MGIMO "Strategic Review 2024" was devoted to the use of nuclear technologies in space. Political commentator Vyacheslav Terekhov talked with one of the authors of this section, Alexander Ermakov, about the problem of creating nuclear power plants and nuclear engines for spacecraft.

On March 11, 2025, Airbus Helicopters of the Airbus Group introduced a new lightweight twin-engine helicopter of the three-ton class H140. The official presentation of the H140 was made at the world's largest helicopter industry exhibition VERTICON 2025 in Dallas, USA.

The US Army has begun testing a promising M10 Booker light tank in Alaska, at low temperatures. The armored vehicle is similar to the reduced M1 Abrams tank: lighter, has a smaller cannon caliber, and weaker armor.

In the eighth minute of the flight, a fire started in the engine compartment of the second stage. It ended in an explosion, and not from the self-detonation system, as it should have, but as a result of uncontrolled gorenje.

An underwater technology demonstrator was launched in Plymouth, created in the interests of the Royal Navy of Great Britain to pave the way for future ultra-large uninhabited underwater vehicles of the XLUUV type. According to Naval News, testing of the sample will begin next month.

What tasks will the innovative device perform

Scientists are creating the first Russian space transporter satellite to clear space debris from orbit. There are only eight such devices in the world. The uniqueness of the domestic development lies in the possibility of reusable use of the garbage collector with the option of returning one of the modules to Earth. The authors are preparing for a test launch in 2025, and experts believe that the project still looks too ambitious and expensive to implement soon.
