Rostec State Corporation will present advanced achievements in the field of aircraft and engine building, medical equipment and pharmaceuticals during the VIII Russian-Chinese EXPO in Harbin. The central place in the exhibition will be occupied by a mock-up of the first domestic high-power gas turbine GTD-110M. The unit will be demonstrated in China for the first time.

A group of American scientists is working to create reflectors that can redirect solar energy into shaded lunar craters. This will allow future colonizers to work smoothly with the resource necessary for life on the Moon — deposits of water ice, of which there are quite a lot in such craters.

General Skshipchak: NATO is helpless and does not know what to do with GPS interference

How do air defense units work in the special operation zone

Today, the activity of barrel artillery and manned aircraft on the line of contact is decreasing, but at the same time the enemy is constantly increasing the use of various types of UAVs: from small FPV attack drones to large reconnaissance aircraft-type UAVs.

During the NATO maneuvers in the Baltic States, the British Armed Forces received a strict warning from the command. Before the exercises in Estonia, the British military was warned about the threat of Russians stealing data from smartphones.

In the practice of using UAVs and fighting them, the world–old problem has surfaced - how to distinguish a "friend" from an "enemy"? While there were few drones, this was not too relevant. But as the battle formations become saturated with them, the problem becomes more acute.

We owe the victory in the Great Patriotic War not only to the courage of soldiers, partisans and home front workers. The equipment that entered the battlefield played a huge role. Powerful, reliable and unpretentious weapons, created in huge numbers by the defense industrial complex of the USSR, helped our people defeat the most dangerous enemy.

It can be used in assault operations and evacuation of the wounded

Russian engineers have developed a universal tracked platform that can perform both combat and transport tasks. With the help of a combat module, the device turns into a grenade launcher or a machine gun, which will be able to cover infantry when storming enemy positions. The platform can carry loads weighing up to a ton, evacuate the wounded. Its prototype has already been tested in the SVO zone. About what a promising development is — in the material of Izvestia.

Al Mayadeen: Russia has determined the vector of development of military affairs around the world

There has been a real scientific breakthrough in military affairs, Al Mayadeen reports. It's about the active use of combat robots. The first models were developed in the last century, and the conflict in Ukraine provoked a qualitative leap in this direction. Today, Russia is successfully storming the enemy with just such weapons.

How do the gunners support the assault troops' offensives

The success of offensive actions largely depends on the fire support of artillery — on how quickly and accurately the calculations of guns and multiple rocket launchers will complete the task. The correspondent of Izvestia visited the gunners in the Donetsk and Artemivsk directions and saw how combat work takes place in day and night conditions.

Russian interference is reported to seriously reduce the effectiveness of GPS-guided munitions supplied by the West. As a result, the US Air Force is purchasing additional homing heads (homing) to give the high-precision extended-range direct hit bombs (JDAM-ER) supplied to Ukraine the ability to hit GPS signal jammers. It is believed that this will turn one of the weapons most affected by this countermeasure into a means used to destroy it.

The return of the Shenzhou-17 crew to Earth and the continued work of the Shenzhou-18 astronauts in orbit attract attention to the Chinese space station.
