The success of combat operations on the ground is determined by the victims

Minister Sergei Shoigu said on a conference call at the Ministry of Defense: "In general, the main tasks of the first stage of the operation have been completed."

China shows an example of increasing the power of Russian destroyers

The first month of the special military operation passed with limited use of the Navy. The main contribution of sailors to the demilitarization of Ukraine so far goes along the line of hitting important military infrastructure facilities with launches of high-precision missiles of the 3M14 "Caliber" family from surface ships and submarines.

On March 30, 1967, by a directive of the General Staff of the USSR Armed Forces, anti-missile and Anti-Space Defense Troops were created as part of the country's air defense forces.

The original abbreviation of this type of troops looked like this: missile defense and PKO troops. The need for their appearance was dictated by a new military threat, namely, the adoption of long-range ballistic missiles by the countries of the probable enemy.

Russia is ready to massively use missiles that have no analogues

Mass use of high-precision weapons is becoming one of the main trends of the Russian Armed Forces. Its use began from the first minutes of the special operation in Ukraine. And if at first these were infrastructure facilities, now we are talking about well-protected ammunition depots and area targets.

Anti-missile weapons are as diverse as the missiles themselves. Among the many complexes and systems there is a very unusual sample. And a successful one, which shot down a real ballistic missile warhead during an intercontinental launch. Perhaps soon this unique system will be adopted. Naked Science reveals all the details about her.

In Soviet times, being a place of storage of nuclear ammunition, "Object 711" was cut down in rocks at a depth of several tens of meters.

There is no doubt that electronic warfare plays an important strategic role for the Russian Armed Forces. In this regard, we offer an article from the electronic magazine Global defense technology, which explores Russia's electronic warfare and its ability to support the country's defense capability.

How the Nebo-SV radar helps to shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles

The Russian Defense Ministry showed a video of the calculations of the Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) and the Nebo-SV radar station (radar) during a special military operation in Ukraine. "Newspaper.Ru" figured out how these complexes work in pairs.

The most painful for the APU is the loss of warehouses with fuel and ammunition

The Russian military continues to carry out air and missile strikes on the objects of the military infrastructure of Ukraine. Now they are already operating throughout the country.

Railway trains and automobile convoys with Western weapons are moving to Ukraine across the Polish border almost daily. NATO is trying to hastily restore the combat capability of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and thereby slow down the Russian special operation. However, it is very difficult to do this — during a month of fighting, the Ukrainian security forces suffered huge losses in heavy equipment, which simply has nothing to replace.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz discussed with the Inspector General of the German Armed Forces Eberhard Zorn the possibility of purchasing the Arrow-3 missile defense system from Israel.

For the first time, the Russian General Staff has published a fairly detailed analysis of the course of a special military operation in Ukraine.
