News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

Russia wants to replace the search and reconnaissance helicopters on its ships with longer-range unmanned aerial vehicles.

This week, such a statement was made by the Russian Foundation for Advanced Research (which is an analogue of the Office of Advanced Research and Development of the US Department of Defense). 

The Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences will test the protection of astronauts from radiation in interplanetary flights on the Science module of the International Space Station (ISS) in 2023, Igor Mitrofanov, head of the Department of Nuclear Planetology of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told RIA Novosti on September 5.

According to the Polish resource "MILMAG", at the 29th military-industrial exhibition MSPO-2021, which opens on September 7, 2021 in the Polish city of Kielce, the Polish company Huta Stalowa Wola SA (HSW, part of the state association Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa SA, PGZ) will present for the first time a prototype of its MRAP class armored vehicle with a 4x4 wheel formula.

The decision on the future of the rocket will be made by Roscosmos

The Progress Rocket and Space Center (RCC) sent a report on the Soyuz-6 launch vehicle to the Energia Rocket and Space Corporation in the summer. This was reported to TASS in the press service of the RCC.

The Chinese military has begun to receive the latest third-generation anti-tank missile system. Such weapons were received, in particular, by units of one of the combined arms brigades of the 78th Army Group (army) Northern Combat Command of the PLA. Photos from the training ground, where the development of this advanced weapon is underway, appeared on the Network.

Now the drone can be controlled via a radio channel at a distance of 250 km, said Sergey Bogatikov, General Director of Kronstadt JSC

The radius of application of the Orion-E unmanned vehicle will be significantly increased after it is equipped with satellite communications. This was reported to TASS by the general director of JSC "Kronstadt" Sergey Bogatikov.

China is working on a helicopter similar to the American Ingenuity. It may become part of one of the Chinese missions to explore the Red Planet.

Thanks to satellite communications, specialists will increase the radius of application of the Orion-E unmanned vehicle. Now the radio channel allows you to use it at a distance of up to 250 kilometers.

Preparatory work on the Russian-Chinese wide-body long-haul aircraft CR929 has been completed, the production of the first copy has started. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the publication "Jiefang Zhibao".

The new Sarmat intercontinental missile, which is being prepared for flight tests, will become the basis of the Russian nuclear shield for 30-40 years. This was announced on Thursday, September 2, by the head of the state corporation "Roscosmos" Dmitry Rogozin.

The first copy of the CR929 wide-body aircraft is being assembled in China. In the basic configuration, it will be able to carry 280 passengers over a distance of up to 12 thousand kilometers.

South Korea seriously intends to replenish its Navy with an aircraft carrier. According to the portal kedglobal.com Yesterday, on September 1, the British company Babcock International signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the South Korean Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) on cooperation in the construction of the first light aircraft carrier for the Republic of Korea Navy under the CVX program.

The family of equipment based on the armored car K-4386 "Typhoon-airborne" (4X4), created in JSC "Remdiesel", continues to increase. So, at the seventh International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2021", a version of the AMN-D, made in the form of a multi-purpose truck, was demonstrated for the first time.

The deployment of the new Russian orbital station is planned to begin in five to six years, the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said.

The Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China (MOST) has allocated funds for the development of promising projects in the field of space exploration. One of them is the creation of a gigantic ship with a length of about several kilometers. And although such initiatives look like outright adventures, they may make sense.

The Russian Orion-E drone has been improved. The "classmate" of the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 received satellite communication, which increased the radius of application of the device. This is reported by TASS with reference to the General Director of JSC "Kronstadt" Sergey Bogatikov.

The combat vehicle is created according to the Optional-Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program. The basis of its weapons is the 50-millimeter XM913 gun.

The future of our world belongs to biotechnologies, and scientists from Washington University in St. Louis (USA) have presented another strong proof of this. They trained bacteria to collect artificial analogues of living muscles, but not in the form of ready-made muscles, but in the format of fibers. They can be used to weave fabric or create details of prostheses, the strength of which exceeds all current analogues.

The Ukrainian tank industry is in a deep crisis. From the once giant of Soviet industry - the Malyshev plant, in fact, there are repair shops that are capable of semi-artistically, as they say, on the knee, making individual samples from the previous reserves, which then break down during rehearsals of parades.

Work is underway to radically improve both the combat and operational characteristics of the product, said Fanil Ziyatdinov, General Director of the Kupol plant

Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant "Kupol "(as part of the Almaz-Antey Aerospace Defense Concern) is working to modernize and improve all the main characteristics of the Tor anti-aircraft missile system (SAM). This was reported to TASS by the general director of the enterprise Fanil Ziyatdinov.
