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.

The British Sky Sabre air defense system is sent to Poland

British Defense Minister Ben Wallace announced that the Sky Sabre air defense system will be deployed in Poland. It also includes the ZUR CAMM. Similar missiles are being considered in the Polish Narev program.

Combat reports in which the Russian Defense Ministry talks about the course of a special military operation in Ukraine indicate that Russian troops and units of the People's republics are methodically moving forward.

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 Special Military Operation (SVO) of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine has not yet ended, but a number of conclusions can already be drawn from it. One of them has to do with the arms market, since both Russia and Ukraine are major players in it. Obviously, the year 2022 has brought serious changes, and this market will not be the same.

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.

The Russian Defense Ministry has named one of the main targets intended for defeat during the military special operation conducted in Ukraine. We are talking about the Tochka-U missile systems – it is with their help that the Ukrainian military continues to destroy civilians in Donbass. How are these complexes arranged – and how will they be finished off completely?
