News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

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.

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.

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.

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).

1MOA GmbH, a German trading partner of the American manufacturer Tacom HQ, planned to present the Tarac C optical device designed for high-precision long-range shooting at the Enforce TAC 2022 exhibition for the first time in Europe. According to the executive director of 1MOA GmbH, Michael Gast, Tarac C was developed by the founder of Tacom HQ, John Baker, to provide accurate shots at a range of 2500 m or more.

A fully robotic tank has been created on the basis of the T-72B3. Now he is preparing for the tests. It is planned to test control systems and a shortened 125 mm cannon.

Experts told when the Superjet will receive a Russian engine

Against the background of tougher sanctions in Russia, they are forcing the creation of a new, "import-substituted" version of the domestic Sukhoi Superjet passenger aircraft.
