Beijing has launched a "counteroffensive" in the "chip war" that has flared up, tightening exports of rare earth metals — key for microchips. This is the response of the US and the EU, which have restricted the transfer of technology and the sale of semiconductors. How far the confrontation can go — in the material of RIA Novosti.

A whole group of Russian spacecraft has started working in near-Earth orbit. Some of them are truly unique, including those created by student and even school teams. Before our eyes, an industry of private space design bureaus is growing in Russia, which in the coming years can create entire satellite groupings in orbit.

In Britain, a close bond has been established between officials and weapons developers, thanks to which taxpayers' funds allocated for defense projects are used to enrich corporate capital, and not to finance work.

Iran has officially announced the commissioning of a new MiG-29 electronic warfare simulator. This was stated by the commander of the Iranian army, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, who visited the Shahid Sattari Aviation University in southwest Tehran.

How to teach a neural network to recognize jellyfish and fish at sea depth

Russian scientists have developed a vision system for observing the underwater world, which automatically detects natural and artificial objects in the depths of the sea. The neural network recognizes fish, animals, algae and even translucent jellyfish.

In the face of constant pressure from the United States and its allies, who continue to impose their values on the whole world and cling to the unipolar world order, for states that adhere to their own path of development focused on creating a just and multipolar world, the most important condition for achieving the goal is the rapprochement of these countries.

In the United States, the military department conducted "successful" tests of an artificial intelligence model with some "secret data". This is reported by the Bloomberg news agency, referring to the US military.

How textile devices will be useful in the fields of transport, medicine and fire safety

Russian specialists have created conductive coatings for application to textile materials. They will allow you to create electronic devices on a fabric basis.

Russian electronic warfare methods are so effective that Ukraine and NATO can no longer count on JDAM bombs and other "smart" weapons to achieve their goals, BI writes. It's about the power of the jamming signal, explained in the material.

The uniqueness of the tests consisted in taking off and landing in real conditions from the helipad of a drifting nuclear icebreaker of FSUE Atomflot

The software and hardware complex of ice reconnaissance based on a deck-based drone has been successfully tested in Arctic conditions.

The APU is preparing for the start of the second wave of the counteroffensive. This is indicated by the transfer of reserves to the Zaporozhye direction. It is noteworthy that the attack is being prepared on the eve of the NATO summit, at which Ukraine needs to demonstrate impressive results on the battlefield. Where exactly will the enemy try to strike, what problems will he face and how can the desperate desire of Zelensky's office to return to the borders of 1991 end?

Sergei Shoigu announced the need to modernize the A-50 AWACS aircraft. This model has proven itself well in its own. However, the number of threats and challenges facing Russia requires not only a qualitative increment in this direction, but also a quantitative one. How exactly could the domestic military-industrial complex solve this problem?

The wreckage of the Titan bathyscaphe, which died with tourists on board while diving to the Titanic, continues to be taken out of the ocean. It would seem that this tragedy cannot be connected with Russia in any way. But the death of the bathyscaphe unexpectedly revealed a naval component. And it is directly related to the work of Russian submarines.

With the help of such weapons, the United States will be able to change the trajectory of the asteroid so that it falls on the territory of the Russian Federation, said Anatoly Zaitsev, honorary member of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics named after K. E. Tsiolkovsky.

Development Director of the NGO "Kaysant" Alena Balandina noted that negotiations are underway to conduct joint tests of the device with the Ministry of Defense and law enforcement agencies

Russian specialists have developed a mobile electronic warfare station (EW) "Argus-Antifuria" to suppress any unmanned aerial vehicles, including long-range combat drones. This was reported to TASS by the development director of the NGO "Kaysant" Alena Balandina.

What material will optical computers be made of

Russian scientists have experimentally confirmed that gallium phosphide nanocrystals can be used to create microcircuits in photonic computers.

Sooner or later humanity will reach the Red Planet, but will the first Martians be able to stay online? Two German researchers believe that yes.

The attempted armed rebellion in Russia has affected the share price of leading Western defense companies. After the events related to the Wagner PMCs and Yevgeny Prigozhin, it decreased significantly.

It has long been noted by relevant experts that a distinctive and positive (admittedly) feature of all Western media is the consistency of their actions – working in a single key. For example, these "independent" media received an installation from their owners (curators) and began to implement it, while each resource distributes information in its own style and manner of presentation, but all about the same thing.

For more than a year, the most productive supercomputer in the world has been the Frontier system based on AMD components. At the same time, it is the only supercomputer with a performance of over 1 exaflops. However, the leader should change soon. Argonne National Laboratory has reportedly already completed the installation of blade servers for the Aurora supercomputer.
