Rostec will provide financial and expert support to the winning teams of the Vector program within the framework of the corporate business accelerator. The investments will make it possible to create a multi-channel charging station for UAVs, an innovative fire extinguishing complex, a robotic seeder for agricultural enterprises and implement other interesting ideas noted by the competition jury.

Almost every day (or rather, night), the air defense of the Russian Armed Forces reflects attacks by Ukrainian UAVs on peaceful Russian cities. The main goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is traditionally the capital of our country and the Moscow region as a whole. How does the Moscow air defense system work, how many anti-aircraft missile systems are in it, and what is a layered defense system?

Considering the issue of the problems of Russian air defense, in particular, the possibility of creating a continuous line of radar along the Russian-Ukrainian border, we would like to note a number of other points.

Recently, Russia has been actively developing unmanned combat forces — what is the reason for such a rush? A leading Chinese newspaper cites three reasons and notes that Moscow not only forges a sharp "sword", but also casts a durable "shield" and creates special complexes to combat UAVs. The United States definitely should not underestimate Russia, the author writes.

Like other major armed forces, the British Army is systematically striving to introduce advanced autonomous unmanned platforms into its formations.

The German concern Rheinmetall announced the successful conduct of the first fire tests of the new Skyranger 35 air defense system equipped with a 35 mm artillery launcher, showing the relevant footage. At the same time, the Leopard 1 tank was used as a chassis.
