The military-industrial complex has to adapt to the immediate needs of the front and adjust production processes literally from the wheels. Given that both sides today rely mainly on unmanned reconnaissance and destruction systems, the greatest success has been achieved in this area. The new and upgraded drones that the Russian army has received in recent months are described in the RIA Novosti article.

Jared Isaakman wants more launches from the lunar program in order to test the technology for lunar expeditions in low-Earth orbit in advance. Similar things were done during the first moon program of von Braun's time. Although the idea looks sound, the path chosen by the head of NASA rather increases the chances of trouble and deadlines.

As the developer explained, the machine, which does not require a runway and has a low detection profile due to low-altitude flight, is optimally suited for combat operations in vast marine areas, being able to solve the tasks of transportation, reconnaissance and evacuation.
