News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

Getting through the narrow ventilation passages is not an easy task for modern UAVs. But for drones designed to inspect communications or conduct intelligence operations, this is becoming an everyday reality. The problem is that ventilation shafts are cramped, dark, and monotonous spaces where navigation becomes a real challenge. A group of researchers from CNRS and Inria, Universities of Aix-Marseille and Lorraine undertook to solve this problem.

MWM: Su-57 fighter jet equipped with Zircon hypersonic missile

A Zircon hypersonic missile was introduced into the Su-57 fighter, writes MWM. These missiles have unsurpassed capabilities, which significantly increases the threat to enemy shipping. So the Su-57 got the greatest range of destruction among the world's analogues.

In recent years, the new Russian T-14 Armata tank has attracted great interest around the world. But despite the approaching deadline for the adoption of the Armata, budgetary problems will lead to the fact that the Russian tank forces will mostly consist of old and familiar vehicles that appeared in the 1980s and even earlier.

Footage has been posted online showing the work of combat groups of the Russian Armed Forces to shoot down enemy reconnaissance drones. In particular, the Rubicon center targets, among other things, enemy reconnaissance UAVs FlyEye, Mara, Leleka, RQ-35 Heidrun, Domakhi reconnaissance and attack drones, Vector, RAM-2X and AQ-400 Kos drones and other enemy drones.

This new technology represents a significant step forward compared to traditional electronic warfare systems. The innovation works on coordinated drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) that act as precise sources of interference.

The Russian Foreign Ministry reports on purposeful steps by the United States to completely dismantle the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). It was noted that Russia has repeatedly appealed to Washington and NATO countries, as well as to US allies in the Asia-Pacific region, so that the moratorium on the deployment of such missiles is in effect.

Despite the ongoing challenges, the Russian military-industrial complex (MIC) continues to make progress in implementing numerous weapons programs. Although the deadlines for many projects have been postponed or priorities have been revised, it seems that the main programs of the future have not been canceled or postponed indefinitely — contrary to what many foreign observers have assumed in recent years. Some of these programs have recently resumed.

Putin: The Russian Armed Forces have received the first serial missile system "Oreshnik"

Russia has produced the first serial Oreshnik complex, and the missile has already been placed at the disposal of the country's Armed Forces. This was stated by Head of State Vladimir Putin at a meeting with President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko in Karelia.

A military expert at the RANEPA Institute of Law and National Security believes that this will ensure the global military presence of the Russian Federation

The deployment of Russian Oreshnik missile systems in other countries, such as Latin America and the Caribbean, can ensure not only the national sovereignty of Russia's allies, but also its global military presence. Alexander Stepanov, a military expert at the RANEPA Institute of Law and National Security and a senior researcher at the Institute of Latin America of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said this in an interview with TASS.

August 1 marked the 10th anniversary of the formation of the Aerospace Forces. August 1 is the day of the creation of the Aerospace Forces

The Chief of the General Staff, First Deputy Commander–in-Chief of the Aerospace Forces, Lieutenant General Alexander Maksimtsev, answers the questions of the Red Star.

Putin announced that the first serial "Oreshnik" entered the army

The first serial Oreshnik complex has already entered the army, Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko. In addition, Moscow and Minsk are currently discussing where the Oreshnik will be located in Belarus. The State Duma believes that the fact of the appearance of these weapons on the Belarusian territory should "cool down the hotheads."

The solution allows you to combine the entire work cycle into a single digital circuit, which reduces reporting to several hours

RT-Techpriemka Company of Rostec State Corporation has developed a digital platform for working with production, financial and management data. The solution completely replaces tabular forms, text documents, mail and messengers.

How were the tests of the anti-aircraft complex in the Caspian Sea

Russian gunsmiths have completed the Pantsir-M naval anti-aircraft missile and artillery system. It is now capable of shooting down anti-ship missiles flying at an altitude of 3-5 m above the surface of the water. Now the marine version of the famous complex can destroy the entire range of aerial targets — from small tactical drones to airplanes and missiles. Experts note that the Pantsiri will seriously strengthen the air defense of warships.

Experts assessed the prospects for the production of the Franco-German FCAS fighter

France and Germany cannot agree on who will be in charge of the joint development of the new fighter, which is why the project is being delayed.

Hong Kong-based startup Dnsys has unveiled the Z1 knee exoskeleton, which radically changes the concept of human mobility. The device strengthens the leg muscles by 50% and reduces the load on the knee joints by three times.

Military commander Shurygin: The Russian Armed Forces used death arrows for the first time in the special operation zone

Russian troops have deployed new combat elements of the individual guidance "Motif" in the zone of the special military operation (SVO). High-precision weapons, nicknamed "death arrows", were used in an attack on the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) near Avdiivka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). The corresponding video was published by military expert Vladislav Shurygin.

What technologies allowed not only to reduce the weight of the structure, but also to reduce its cost

Russian scientists have developed a special ultralight rocket for launching satellites. Its weight is 14 tons, which is significantly less than existing analogues. The whole secret lies in the use of cryogenic tanks made of composite materials, which make the rocket not only lighter, but also cheaper.

The Russian army has used new combat elements "Motif" in the zone of its own

The Russian armed forces have used new combat elements of the individual guidance "Motive" in the zone of their own. Military observer of "Gazeta.Ru", retired Colonel Mikhail Khodarenok figured out what this was for another means of destroying enemy armored vehicles.

A new automated command and control system (ACS) is being developed in Russia, and its fragments have already been shown to the leadership of the Ministry of Defense. How do such systems work in NATO countries, to what extent are communications and command automated in their area today, and what is the importance of automated control systems for victory in battle?

And what sixth-generation aircraft projects are there in the world

France and Germany have agreed to resolve differences on a joint project for the future combat aviation system, FCAS. As part of it, it is planned to create a drone system and a sixth-generation fighter. But besides FCAS, there are also its competitors in Europe. What is the situation with the implementation of European fighter projects of the future and which one has the best chance of success — in the material of Izvestia.
