What developments are the United States conducting in the field of unmanned drones

The American navy has encountered unexpected difficulties on its way to mastering unmanned technologies. Recent tests off the coast of California have shown that marine drones stall, lose control and collide with each other. Nevertheless, the prospects of the direction are not in doubt, it is swarm technologies that are considered by the United States as one of the trump cards in the fight against the growing strength of the Chinese fleet in a possible collision, and any delay in this area threatens to lose world leadership. For more information about the current state of marine unmanned systems— see the Izvestia article.

In an interview with RIA Novosti, Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov spoke about his responsibility to the country, why the West is shocked by the pace of Russian arms supplies, about work on domestic airliners and engines, their advantages over Airbus and Boeing, the prospects for creating supersonic aircraft, robots and distrust of companies that have left the Russian Federation.

This is a new generation tank, presumably called the ZTZ-201, an infantry fighting vehicle based on it, a new amphibious assault vehicle and an armored personnel carrier based on this BMD.

Russia is actively developing unmanned aircraft by supplying new models of front-line attack and FPV drones to its combat zone. There is also a replenishment among the long-range models, the new drone was "discovered" by the military intelligence of Ukraine. The Ukrainian press writes about it.

The United States and Poland are preparing for the massive use of unmanned boats, and in the Baltic. This not only proves that NATO is preparing for war in this region, but also shows exactly how the alliance is going to act against the Russian fleet.

Thus, Ukraine hides the liquidation of the military-industrial complex, according to a senior researcher at the Institute of Latin America of the Russian Academy of Sciences

The alleged first Ukrainian ballistic missile of its own production, the Flamingo, presented by Kiev the other day, is actually developed by the Emirati-British company Milanion Group, which indicates an attempt by the political leadership of Ukraine to conceal the actual liquidation of its military-industrial complex. 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, shared this opinion with TASS.

Colonel Khodarenok: the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Flamingo missile will not take part in combat operations

Production of Flamingo missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of 3,000 km has begun in Kiev. Western media write that the missile can be used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to strike the site where the Russian drones "Geran" are manufactured. At the same time, experts note that the Flamingo is not an original development and resembles the British FP-5 rocket. Is it worth being afraid of "Flamingos" - in the material of the military observer "Gazeta.Ru", retired Colonel Mikhail Khodarenka.

Ukraine has demonstrated a new long-range missile, allegedly developed by Ukrainian specialists for strikes deep into Russia. Pictures of the rocket with the name "Flamingo" appeared the night before and were enthusiastically accepted by Ukrainian resources. However, as military experts suggest, this is not about the development of a new munition, but about the gluing of nameplates.

According to the Ukrainian commander-in-chief, such a measure can partially compensate for the shortage of manpower on the front line. Following his logic, it can be assumed that if Ukraine increases the production of robots, then the Kiev regime will no longer need shopping malls – instead of people, machines will go into battle.
