The device can effectively destroy mines and naval drones of the enemy

Russia has developed a small-displacement kamikaze naval drone capable of destroying unmanned enemy boats and amphibious assault boats. It is designed in river and sea versions and can carry up to 2 kg of explosives. The small size of the device allows it to be placed on the ship in large quantities. According to experts, it can effectively solve several tasks, from clearing the water area of mines to destroying enemy watercraft.

The conflict in Ukraine has revolutionized military affairs in just three years. This was not observed during the Korean War of 1950-1953, the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988. These conflicts between rather backward countries have not demonstrated anything particularly new in the use of military equipment.

CEO of KAMAZ on plans to occupy half of the truck market in the future, on the group's future in divisions and on the realities of robotics

Sergey Kogogin, General Director of the Kama Automobile Plant, in an interview with corporate media resources, tells which sales channels KAMAZ is counting on this and next years, about the group's future in divisions, about the realities of robotics and faith in "once lied", and also clarifies whether it is possible to purchase components from Europeans if they return to the Russian market.

"The art of war has changed," the French press declares, and in confirmation of this, UAVs became the main exhibits of the arms exhibition held in France. Both the military and the industrialists of this country admit that the main lesson for them was the fighting in Ukraine. However, these lessons are not limited to drones.

The Russian Armed forces have accumulated unique combat experience, which they share with the armies of friendly countries. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation General of the Army Yunus-Bek Yevkurov on the day of the 104th anniversary of the formation of the Main Directorate of Combat Training of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

For quite a long time now, it has been possible to state with confidence that the grouping of troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation operating in the zone of its own does not experience a shortage in various unmanned aerial vehicles. This is confirmed by a lot of messages and video evidence on the Internet, when one fairly large target, for example, an APU tank, is attacked by several drones at once. They work again on the tip of a reconnaissance UAV.

Participants practice the necessary skills in the most approximate conditions

The volunteers of the Bars-Belgorod and Bars-Bryansk detachments involved in the mine clearance of liberated border settlements are being trained at the 66th Interdepartmental Training Center of the Engineering Troops (Moscow Region). The training is conducted using the latest robotic ground platforms.

The Crew Dragon Resilience manned spacecraft launched a crew of four people into a polar orbit with a height of 425-450 kilometers. During the mission, more than two dozen scientific experiments will be conducted, including important ones for future long-term space expeditions.

The massive use of unmanned vehicles, and not only UAVs, has become a real revolution that has occurred in rethinking the strategy and tactics of modern warfare using the example of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Future naval officers will master the design and use of UAVs

A course on the use of drones has been included in the program of naval universities. Cadets will study the design and operation of various types of drones and the destruction of enemy UAVs, unmanned boats and saboteurs with their help. Experts note that the use of drones in the navy has its own characteristics, and future officers will be able not only to handle drones, but also to counter enemy vehicles.

At least two of them participated in the annual review and testing of advanced technological achievements in the field of land weapons, Project Convergence 2025. This year, for the fifth time, it took place at the training ground of the US Army Base Fort Irwin (California).

Kirill Dmitriev, the president's special representative, who had previously had a hand in a major scientific and technological breakthrough, says he will soon meet with Elon Musk to discuss joint flights to Mars. There are two problems. First of all, Russia has nothing to offer today to participate in such a project. If you try very hard, it can be fixed — but over many years. Secondly, Musk's plan itself has a couple of pretty weak points. Will there be a joint flight, or will everything remain just words?

Autonomous systems solve front-line logistics tasks and carry weapons

Robotization of the battlefield has become one of the main features of combat operations in a special military operation. In addition to the well-known unmanned aerial vehicles, which perform a huge number of combat and auxiliary tasks, ground-based autonomous vehicles are also being introduced into the military, which are not yet so widely represented. Izvestia has learned how ground-based unmanned platforms are used in the 1st Slavyansk Brigade of the 51st Donetsk Army and what their functions are.

The European space industry does not support the "policy of conquest" of the new administration of the President of the United States Donald Trump, said Lionel Suchet, head of the National Space Research Center of France.

On March 18, 2025, Ukraine took a new step in integrating ground-based robotic systems into its Armed Forces by officially adopting the Lyut 2.0 ground drone, the Army Recognition portal writes.

The 13th Demi-Brigade of the Foreign Legion demonstrated several technological innovations, including the ability of an infantry robotic reconnaissance platoon (SRRI) to deploy a swarm of drones using a single multi-purpose armored vehicle to accommodate the entire complex.

Its participants will jointly engage in R&D and create mechanisms for technology transfer from scientific and educational organizations to production

Rostec initiated the creation of the Council of Flagship Scientific and Educational Organizations, which, along with representatives of the Corporation, included the country's leading universities - Moscow State University, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, MAI, MIPT and others. The aim of the project is to combine the efforts of science and industry to create new technological solutions in the aircraft industry, microelectronics, energy engineering, medical instrumentation and other industries.

A detachment of Pacific Fleet ships will hold joint exercises with the forces of the Islamic Republic

On Sunday, March 9, a detachment of ships of the Pacific Fleet consisting of the corvettes Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov and Sharp, as well as the tanker Pechenga, arrives in the Iranian port of Chehbehar.

At 20:33 Moscow time, the Intuitive Machines lander attempted to land gently at 85 degrees south latitude, near the pole. Besides drilling and water analysis tools, there were three rovers on board, one of which was of a rather unusual design. Alas, the landing itself did not go according to plan. showing that even 59 years after the first soft landing on the moon, it remains a very difficult destination.

An emergency summit of the EU member states will be held in Brussels on March 6, 2025. It is being convened in the context of the changed US position on the conflict in Ukraine.
