News of new developments in the military-industrial complex

The French Ministry of Defense has announced a list of priority purchases, including high-precision AASM Hammer bombs. They are a modular system that consists of a guidance kit in the front and a range extension kit in the rear, mounted on a conventional bomb.

The car has already passed the baptism of fire in the area of its

A new heavy tactical drone has been shown in Moscow, which is twice as fast as its main Ukrainian rival, the Baba Yaga type UAV. The Russian device was named Gorgon. The machine underwent a baptism of fire on the front line — it has a large number of destroyed targets. The new drone is part of a line of drones named after the heroes of ancient myths. All these "fabulous" devices were presented on July 3 at one of the Moscow design bureaus.

The first combat use by the US Air Force of 30-ton GBU-57/B anti-bunker bombs (Massive Ordnance Penetrator, MOP) during recent strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities drew attention to the development of their successor. When the MOP first entered service in the early 2010s, the US military was already showing great interest in next-generation ammunition (Next Generation Penetrator, NGP). 

South Korea has put a lot of effort into developing self-propelled guns designed to withstand the DPRK's artillery power. The result of these efforts was the K9 tracked self-propelled gun, manufactured by Hanwha Aerospace.

In modern air battles, the advantage is not gained by the fastest and most maneuverable aircraft, but by larger and less noticeable machines that use network information to hit the enemy with long-range missiles. In this regard, it is necessary to increase the size of fighters, turning them into air arsenals.

The development allows you to cook lunch for a company of soldiers

A new field mini-kitchen was tested in the army. The novelty is based on the UAZ Profi car and is designed for cooking and transporting hot food directly to the combat formations of units operating on the front line. Such a field kitchen will allow you to feed hot dishes to a company or battery — more than 100 people. Experts say that such a design is a difficult target, while it has good cross-country ability.

The Turkish defense company Aselsan conducted tests of its new development, the YILDIRIM 100 system, during which it successfully neutralized infrared–guided anti-aircraft missiles, forcing them to deviate from the course. The corresponding video is shown online.

In Thailand, they created the first domestic kamikaze drone, which, apparently, without thinking twice, they decided to call Kamikaze. Demonstrating it, a representative of the local Royal Air Force said it was designed for "precise and destructive strikes in order to strengthen national security and sovereignty."

On July 1, 2025, the Polish shipbuilding company Remontowa Shipbuilding (former Stocznia Północna shipyard) in Gdansk hosted the launching ceremony of the new generation lead reconnaissance ship Jerzy Różycki (construction number 107/1, tail number "261") of project 107 (code Delfin), which is being built for the Polish Navy. The ship was launched on the same day from the launching dock.

The drone used was not named, however, it was most likely an R2-120 Raijin. This product is easy enough to launch from a ship, as it is placed in a shipping container.

Back in 2022, the US Marine Corps approached Leidos with a request to create an inconspicuous unmanned surface vessel capable of carrying thousands of pounds of cargo.

Forbes: Russian fighters refine UAVs by sheathing them with solar panels

With the help of ingenuity and improvised materials, Russian military personnel have made another breakthrough in the field of drone engineering, writes Forbes. A UAV sheathed in solar panels has been spotted on the front line. Such a new generation drone has a lot of advantages.

According to Tengden Technology, the operator responsible for the remote control of the UAV was a woman – for the first time in the history of unmanned aircraft in China. The drone successfully fired back with a light air-to-surface missile, which accurately hit the target.

The Turkish company TUBITAK-SAGE has developed a new SOM-M cruise missile designed for the promising national fifth-generation fighter KAAN. Allegedly, domestic technologies were used in its creation.

It generates energy by electrochemical conversion of fuel, which provides high efficiency and minimal emissions into the environment

Rostec State Corporation will present more than 50 advanced civil developments at the Innoprom-2025 international industrial exhibition.

Rossiya Airlines has started comparing the technical and economic performance of the foreign SaM146 engine and the fully Russian PD-8 for the SSJ-100. The prospect of fleet re-motorization depends on the results of the analysis.

The Russian army has started using remote-controlled platforms capable of carrying more than a ton of cargo

Railway drones began to be used to supply Russian troops in the SVO zone. Remotely controlled platforms can carry more than a ton of cargo, work in any weather, unlike vehicles, they are not afraid of muddy roads.

KNDS Deutschland (Germany), Elbit Systems (Israel) and Kongsberg (Norway) conducted the first launch of the NSM rocket, widely used by NATO fleets, from the new MARS 3 MLRS. According to the developers, the testing was successful and confirmed the system's ability to launch this long-range anti-ship missile.

The Sun: Secret Russian "killer satellite" discovered in space

Russia has launched a satellite into orbit, which, according to American intelligence estimates, is an anti-space weapon, writes The Sun. The United States is in a panic: the Russian military satellite Kosmos-2558 is on an orbital trajectory suspiciously close to the American spy satellite USA-326.

The Sun: A Russian "killer satellite" was spotted in space near the US facility

The British The Sun reported on the launch by the Russian spacecraft Kosmos-2558 of an object in the immediate vicinity of the American reconnaissance satellite USA-326. Sputnik RF was dubbed a "killer" by the publication. What kind of device it is and why it alarmed the West is in the material of the military observer Gazeta.Ru", retired Colonel Mikhail Khodarenka.
