FP: "Oreshnik" can seriously disrupt NATO operations, even in a non-nuclear version

The Oreshnik rocket is a novelty, unlike its predecessors, writes FP. NATO's defense in its current form can do little to counter it. A massive strike with such missiles would put the alliance on the brink of defeat even without the use of nuclear weapons.

Developers from the USA presented the concept of the Kozodoy spacecraft, capable of exploring the most interesting regions of the fourth planet, inaccessible to ordinary rovers and difficult to visit even if people land there.

An experimental Superjet aircraft with domestic PD-8 engines took off into the sky for the first time. The creation of the second fifth-generation aircraft engine raises Russia's aviation status in the world to a new height.

The Chinese Space Agency has published an open appeal to all potential international partners with a proposal to deliver their scientific instruments to near-Martian orbit as part of the Tianwen-3 mission. China is under Western sanctions in the field of space cooperation, so it is very important and difficult for the Chinese to find partners from abroad. It is the Tianwen-3 mission that is highly likely to be the first to deliver Martian soil back to Earth.

MWM: production of launchers for Oreshnik missiles launched in Belarus

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.
