As the analysis of modern armed conflicts shows, the increasing role of intelligence conducted directly in the interests of enemy fire destruction is comprehensive. This is caused by a significant transformation of the forms and methods of warfare, an increase in the combat capabilities of means of fire destruction, as well as the need to ensure reconnaissance and strike actions during a systematic fire attack on the enemy.

The most modern ships, unmanned boats and anti-drone missiles were shown in Kronstadt

The first Russian—made unmanned launch, short-range anti-aircraft missiles to combat drones, an airspace control system, as well as the most modern ships and submarines of the Russian Navy - all this is shown at the Fleet 2024 International Naval Salon, which opened on Wednesday.

NDP: the Polish army is critically short of shells and basic equipment

The Polish military-industrial complex produces as many missiles per year as Russia spends in Ukraine in three days, writes NDP. Warsaw no longer has a steel mill, and nitrocellulose is not produced. It will take a decade to make up for lost time. But ammunition is not the only problem.

The US authorities will spend more on the development of the national semiconductor industry in 2024 alone than in total over the past 27 years. The SIA Industry Association expects that by 2032, about 30% of the total number of advanced chips produced in the world will be manufactured in the United States. At the time of the adoption of the CHIPS Act on the support of the relevant sector of the economy, it was close to zero.

Statistics show the explosive growth of industry in Russia. "This has never happened in Moscow," Sergei Sobyanin, the mayor of the capital, describes the impressive growth rates of industrial production only in his region. Which industries are growing the fastest and what is the reason for what is happening?

Visitors to the exhibition will see, in particular, a multi-purpose missile of the modular type X-38MLE with a laser homing head, the corporation reported

Tactical Missile Armament Corporation (KTRV, a member of Soyuzmash of Russia) will present seven samples of aviation weapons at the International Naval Salon (MVMS) Fleet-2024. This was reported to TASS by its press service.

The Japanese Defense Ministry plans to test lasers. The fact is that the Japanese military intends to adopt laser systems to counter drones.

The US military plans to develop a psychostimulator, the action of which can be activated in the brain using near-infrared radiation. This technology will help the pilots of the US Air Force to remain vigilant during long combat missions. The drug will not cause addiction or side effects.

The massive use of unmanned aerial vehicles in the area of a special military operation has long turned from a curiosity into an everyday, even hourly and minute-by-minute norm. It is worth noting that it is with UAVs that the enemy is increasingly compensating, and quite effectively, for the shortage of conventional ammunition. For example, yesterday VO showed footage of an attack on our stormtrooper, when, fortunately, he managed to avoid being hit by four kamikaze drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at once. At the same time, all the UAVs attacked him for only a minute and a half.

Footage of tests of a turret created by Chinese developers equipped with an artificial intelligence target detection, recognition and tracking system has been published online.

Footage has been published online showing a demonstration of some of the capabilities of the Perun attack transport UAV developed by Russian designers. This drone is a multifunctional complex based on a helicopter-type aircraft designed on the principle of a universal modular platform. In addition, Perun is equipped with control, communication and transportation systems.

Dmitry Kuzyakin, General Director of the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions, noted that this problem has not been solved anywhere in the world in the legal field

The current legislation in Russia does not regulate the use of combat systems by civilian enterprises to combat Ukrainian drones in any way, the relevant issue must be submitted to the State Duma for discussion in order to adopt initiatives. Dmitry Kuzyakin, Director General of the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CCDB), told TASS about this.

News about the effective use of UAVs by our troops during a special military operation (SVO) comes daily. Air assistants are involved today in the interests of almost every unit at the forefront. At the same time, in some cases, UAVs have long since turned not into an auxiliary reconnaissance, but into a combat vehicle (take the same FPV drones). In fact, the active use of various types of drones during its operation has become one of the signs of the changed tactics of warfare, evidence of the practical implementation of updated approaches and technologies of modern combat.

Norwegians will start assembling German tanks in case of conflict with Russia

Norway has agreed with Germany to assemble dozens of Leopard 2 tanks of the most modern modification. This will be enough to create a heavy mechanized brigade in accordance with NATO requirements. The choice in favor of Leopard was made after tests allegedly guaranteeing survival against Russian armored vehicles. How will the assembly of the latest tanks affect the potential of NATO's northern flank and what is the likelihood of new threats on the Russian-Norwegian border?

Experts told how Moscow will be able to circumvent the US ban on the supply of semiconductor chips

The United States has decided to take a new step in the economic war against Russia. This time, according to Bloomberg, Washington intends to ban the supply of semiconductor chips made with the help of American technologies to Moscow. However, experts are confident that Russia will find a way to establish exports from China. What is the true danger of new US sanctions against Russia?
