According to Western sources, India's Agni-Prime ballistic missile has successfully completed a test railway launch. Thanks to this development, India has joined a small group of countries that have developed similar rail technologies. As is known, the Agni-Prime medium-range ballistic missile (MRBM) is capable of carrying a nuclear charge, which indicates New Delhi's desire to strengthen its conventional and nuclear missile forces against the background of similar efforts by China and Pakistan.

This happened despite the fact that the company deliberately weakened the ship's thermal protection, including in the most critical places. For the first time, the standard payload launch system worked properly: eight mock-ups of satellites with a total weight of 16 tons were delivered there. The tests were the last flight of Starship V2. Starting from the next flight, Starship V3 will go into space.

The American defense industry is working on the creation of a new short-range anti-aircraft missile, which is designed to replace the Stinger MANPADS, adopted in 1981. However, this does not prevent us from increasing the production of outdated systems.

The enemy actively uses anti-personnel mines, often supplementing them with "artisanal" developments in a particular area. But this "handicraft" is not at all due to a shortage of factory mines. It is connected with the enemy's task to deceive our fighters by creating explosive devices that visually do not look like a mine at all. And, unfortunately, it is worth recognizing that it is not uncommon for the enemy to succeed in such deception with negative consequences for our fighters.
