Russia destroyed the fuel storage facilities of the Kremenchug oil refinery with high-precision weapons. This is the last of the large oil refineries operating on the territory of Ukraine. In addition, military airfields in Poltava and Dnepropetrovsk were destroyed. Even if there is a strategic fuel reserve, the Ukrainian army will soon not be able to properly operate heavy equipment, which will affect the ability of the military to fight.

Washington, London and Berlin announced new arms supplies to Ukraine. This time we are talking about tanks, armored vehicles and anti-ship missiles. In this regard, the Federation Council stated the need for Moscow to take a decisive position on the supply of weapons to the conflict zone. How much will Western supplies strengthen the AFU and complicate Russia's special operation?

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.

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.

Russian servicemen liquidate warehouses supplying the AFU grouping near Kiev

The Russian armed forces continue to strike at the military infrastructure of Ukraine. Sea-based Kalibr cruise missiles destroyed ammunition depots from which the Ukrainian group was supplied in the suburbs of Kiev.

The journey from nuclear missiles to cyberwar planning took seventy years

After World War II, Washington completely abandoned its previously characteristic foreign policy self-isolation (more precisely, "closure" within the Western Hemisphere).

In the United States, the number of missile launches that were carried out by Russian troops during a special operation in Ukraine is monitored daily. As noted, this indicator has long reached "incredible values" and continues to grow, breaking all records of US military campaigns - and this despite the fact that the American army is traditionally guided by the doctrine of a massive missile strike when conducting large-scale military operations.

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.

During a special military operation, the deputy commander of the Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile battery, Vladimir, performs tasks to control the airspace in his area of responsibility.

Monolithic integrated circuits (MIS) based on gallium nitride, capable of operating in extreme conditions, have been developed and manufactured at the V.G. Mokerov Institute of Ultrahigh Frequency Semiconductor Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

On a web resource habr.com Denis Shamiryan (@CorneliusAgrippa), CEO of MAPPER LLC (semiconductor factory for the contract production of MEMS devices), "Microelectronics in Russia before and after 02/24/2022", has published an interesting material on the current state of microelectronics production in Russia and on the possibilities to create a fully localized production of microelectronic components under large-scale Western sanctions.

Director of ISP RAS - on the immutability of the pre-sanctions strategy and "thin spots" in Russian technologies

Partners of the Institute of System Programming of the Russian Academy of Sciences Samsung, Huawei, Bentley Systems have confirmed their plans for long-term cooperation, said in an interview with "Gazeta.Ru" Director of ISP RAS, academician Harutyun Avetisyan.

European allies are pushing the US to war

President Biden said that if Russia attacks a NATO country, the United States will intervene, even if it leads to World War III. Since the Russian Federation has never threatened any of the NATO members, we are talking about a provocation being prepared by Poland or the Baltic limitrophs.

The Verge (USA): DJI drones, Ukraine, Russia - what we know about AeroScope technology

Ukraine actually demanded that the Chinese company DJI act against Russia, The Verge reports. The Chinese side categorically refused. Moreover, she stated that she was not going to leave the Russian market. The expert considers this a serious blow to Kiev.

Now the future of the project dedicated to the continuous monitoring of the migration routes of various animals using radio transmitters and the study of their lives is in question.

The beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine has forced institutional investors and governments of many countries to rethink their approach to supporting the defense industry. This area has been off-limits for investors concerned about environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG), in recent years many have sought to get rid of the assets of arms companies in their portfolios, and now this situation has worsened. Sofia Karadima writes about this in a material for the Army Technology web resource.

Russian physicists have shown that it is possible to use tunnel contact for spectroscopy of the electronic states of carbon nanotubes. The proposed tunneling contact manufacturing technology and spectroscopy method will help to accurately determine the band gap of nanotubes, which is a key characteristic for the development of any electronic devices based on them.

The United States makes maximum use of the situation in Ukraine to gain experience in the operation of RTR and electronic warfare aircraft against the Russian Aerospace Forces

The skies of Europe, or rather the countries bordering Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova, are patrolled by reconnaissance aircraft. And NATO tankers of various types are constantly hanging in the air.

Brussels, Washington and Kiev have declared an information war on Moscow — dozens, if not hundreds of fakes are thrown into the media and social networks every day. The goal is to convince the Western audience that "evil and totalitarian Russia attacked a small democratic Ukraine for no reason." Examples of the most odious fakes are in the RIA Novosti material.
