As cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky noted, in order to understand whether Russia needs its own space station in the event of the closure of the ISS, it is necessary to understand its ultimate task

Private space companies can create a new space station. This opinion was expressed in an interview with TASS by Russian cosmonaut and scientist Sergei Ryazansky.

Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers have received new suspended universal reconnaissance systems. As a result, the strike capabilities of the "4++" generation aircraft have significantly increased, and it is now possible to conduct combat operations in a single information space.

Such devices will be able to be integrated into the Sphere program, according to the chief designer of the enterprise in the direction of spacecraft Alexey Rabochy

JSC " MIC "NPO Mashinostroeniya" (part of JSC "Corporation" Tactical Missile Weapons") Since last year, it has been developing a mini-satellite for radar.

As reported in the design bureau, ships of this type can be used for protection, as well as as a rescue or research vessel

The Central Design Bureau (CCB) "Rubin" (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation) has developed the first Russian submerged patrol ship designed for foreign customers. This was reported to TASS on Monday in the press service of the Central Bank of Russia.

The first stage of testing of the ramjet pulsing detonation engine demonstrator has been completed in Russia. In the future, it will be used in rocket and space systems, orbital aircraft and hypersonic aircraft.

Firearms are one of the few areas where there is little use of electronics. But that's for now. April 11, portal thefirearmblog.com He reported that the American company Radetec officially presented a serial sample of the kit for turning the Glock 17 into a "smart" weapon.

Thanks to this algorithm, satellites, in particular, will be able to determine the strength of the magnetic field at any point in the orbit

Russian scientists have developed algorithms for the interaction of nanosatellites, which are designed for scientific measurements. The article describing the work was published by the scientific journal Advances in Space Research, the press service of the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology writes briefly about it.

According to US and South Korean sources, the new North Korean submarine weighing 3,000 tons is ready to be launched. It is assumed that it will be able to carry three ballistic missiles.

In addition, the KF-21 costs $65 million, which is significantly less than the price of the American F-35.

Russian companies that implement artificial intelligence technologies, at the suggestion of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, can receive subsidies from the state under a simplified scheme. According to the initiative, each year the developer will be allocated up to 500 million rubles for one project, while its implementation period should not exceed six years.

The Chinese company Zhongtian Feilong conducted the first flight tests of a promising unmanned aerial vehicle-a carrier of small reconnaissance drones. According to Jane's, flight tests of the new device took place on March 20, 2021 and were recognized as successful.

At the same time, Josef Aschbacher considers it necessary to achieve greater commercial returns from the exploration of outer space

The project to build a space station in Earth's orbit, which will function as a hotel, is still reminiscent of science fiction and is unlikely to be implemented in the near future. This opinion was expressed by the Director General of the European Space Agency (ESA), Josef Aschbacher, to a TASS correspondent.

The latest speech processing systems and systems created by the scientific staff of the technopolis "ERA" together with representatives of the Russian industry were demonstrated at the thematic exhibition "Innovation Day of the Ministry of Defense of Russia" in Anapa.

The commander of the air and missile defense forces - Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the VKS, Lieutenant General Yuri Grekhov, spoke about the S-350 Vityaz medium-range anti-aircraft missile system and the Container radar. The S-350 is deployed at the anti-aircraft missile Forces training center in Gatchina.

The latest heavy robotic mine-clearing system is being developed in the interests of the Russian Armed Forces, the Defense Ministry told reporters.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will continue to work on expanding the range of robotic systems for military purposes, said the head of the department, Army General Sergei Shoigu.

French soldiers will not lag behind their American counterparts. April 8, portal gizmodo.com He reported that the Special Military School of Saint-Cyr École Militaire Interarmes (EMIA) conducted a number of exercises involving robots.
