From military-technical cooperation to military-political

Russian-Chinese relations are characterized by a desire for cooperation. Another important factor that unites Russia and China is the complementarity of their economies. In the long term, China needs ever-increasing amounts of energy from Siberia and the Far East, as well as technologies, especially military ones.

However, the new requirements of armed struggle require a lightning reaction

The Special Military Operation (SVO) pursues the goals of denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine. At the moment, the main results of its implementation were the acquisition of control over almost the entire territory of the LPR, and partially – the DPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions. However, the new territories of the Russian Federation are being systematically shelled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

Russia must eliminate the backlog in a number of areas

The conduct of a special military operation has given a powerful accelerating impetus to the reformatting of the world order and the entire system of international relations. A total hybrid war has been declared against us, covering all spheres of the country's life. The bitterness of our enemies and their determination to erase Russia from the political map of the world has exceeded all limits.

The US air defense will not withstand a big war

Since the Second World War, the role of aviation has been absolutized in the United States. In particular, it is traditionally assigned to her to solve the tasks of air defense (air defense).

South Korean President Yun Seok-yel said on Thursday that the rivalry in the world for dominance in the semiconductor industry has taken the form of extremely fierce competition, and South Korean companies will not be able to cope with such a situation alone.

In a number of areas in the zone of a special military operation, Ukrainian formations yesterday attempted to attack the positions of Russian troops. However, when conducting offensive actions, the APU made unforgivable mistakes. The Telegram channel "The Wrong Side of the military service" writes about one of them.

Specialists of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) have developed the country's first software for 3D printing installations working with metal and alloys. This software will find application in a wide variety of industries, including shipbuilding, aviation and metallurgical industries.

On the territory of the Sudzhansky district of the Kursk region, servicemen of the Border Service of the FSB of Russia "landed" another drone flying from Ukraine. This was announced in his Telegram channel by the governor of the Kursk region Roman Starovoit.

The United States would like to develop norms for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the military sphere together with Russia and China. The corresponding assurance was made by US Deputy Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Bonnie Jenkins at the Washington Center for a New American Security, reports TASS.

Special Canadian-made equipment designed to identify working UAV operators and determine the coordinates of unmanned aerial vehicles turned out to be in the hands of Russian servicemen. This was told in his Telegram channel by the deputy head of the Department of the Federal Service of the National Guard Troops (Rosgvardiya) for the Donetsk People's Republic, Colonel Alexander Khodakovsky.

Against the background of Russia's almost complete lack of access to foreign equipment, the semiconductor manufacturer Micron is switching to using the necessary equipment from Chinese companies in its production, as well as from some other countries, including even Belarus.

US Air Force Colonel Tucker Hamilton reported on a computer simulation of the use of a combat drone controlled by artificial intelligence, during which the AI attacked the operator and the communications tower itself. Soon the US Air Force refuted the experiment, but experts did not believe it and pointed out the danger of actually conducting such experiments. As a result, this story raised a number of ethical questions for the experts.

New combat complexes will soon show their capabilities

Laser complexes are now considered one of the promising means of countering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This type of weapon, like all others, has its advantages and disadvantages. But now, in a number of countries, combat laser complexes are being created, which are either directly designed to counter UAVs, or can be used, among other things, for this purpose.

Before the shelling of the Belgorod region, a swarm of Starlink satellites was spotted in the sky. This was reported by the Telegram channel Mash.

Murtazin: it is impossible to install a virus program on phones without Apple's assistance

Eldar Murtazin, a leading analyst at Mobile Research Group, told Sputnik radio why he doubts the veracity of Apple's assurances that it does not cooperate with American intelligence.

The Guardian: The AI of the American drone "destroyed" the operator during the tests

The artificial intelligence of the American drone decided to "destroy" its operator when it realized that he was preventing him from completing the task, writes The Guardian. This happened during simulation tests, which the US Air Force denies.

In the fight for the Pacific Ocean, the American Navy puts on robotic systems

In recent decades, the American navy has faced two extremely serious challenges. Firstly, various kinds of unmanned and unmanned vehicles are developing more and more rapidly. Often they are even combined into integrated complexes capable of solving a very wide range of tasks – from purely auxiliary to full-fledged combat.

The electronic warfare system "Parodist" has already begun to arrive in the Southern Military District

The South of Russia has covered up the radio-electronic complex "Parodist". The Ministry of Defense has begun deploying the latest electronic warfare (EW) complex. The Southern Military District is already receiving new items. The system works on radars and communication systems of aircraft. Experts note that Russian developments are considered advanced and are being upgraded taking into account combat experience.

Modern warfare is not only a weapon based on new physical principles and strikes on the entire economic and political territory of the enemy, modern warfare is primarily rapid communications, digital combat control and knowledge about the enemy. Especially in the tactical link of combat control.

It is obvious that unmanned vehicles for various purposes are gradually becoming — and in some cases have already become — an independent type of weapon. Moreover, we are no longer talking about isolated cases, but about massive use — for example, the use of UAVs in the conflict in Ukraine.
