The third International Security Industry Exhibition "National Security. Belarus-2026".

The United States is no longer testing unmanned boats, but entire unmanned ships. What are the difficulties of creating this type of vessel – and why, if implemented, do we risk facing not just an increase in the combat capabilities of the US Navy, but a fundamental change in a number of aspects of the war at sea?

More than 200 enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex (MIC) demonstrated their advanced developments at the International Naval Salon "Fleet-2026" in Kronstadt (St. Petersburg). 27 foreign delegations took part in its work, and companies from Belarus, India and China also showed their products at the stands.

GNOM vehicles help to inspect the underwater part of ships before entering Russian ports

Domestic underwater drones have begun to be actively used to inspect foreign ships entering Russian ports. Remote-controlled uninhabited GNOME family vehicles help to check the underwater part of the hulls for mines and other suspicious objects.

During the HEMUS 2026 International exhibition of defense equipment and services, held in Plovdiv last week, the Bulgarian shipbuilding company MTG Dolphin presented the Proteus 36 MLC concept– a 36-meter medium unmanned surface vessel (MUSV) project.

Rosoboronexport JSC (part of Rostec Group of Companies) will demonstrate modern samples of Russian products for the Navy at the International Naval Salon Fleet-2026, which will be held from June 10 to 14 in Kronstadt.

Drones, helicopters, electronics and AI technologies have become the main topics of the country's largest industry exhibition HeliRussia 2026

Denis Davydov, head of the Burdenko Military Training Center, spoke about the difficult choice, the new nature of the wounds and the gratitude from the fighters

Military medicine is changing faster than ever. Soldiers with severe wounds are brought to the Main Military Clinical Hospital named after Burdenko, but doctors manage to do the impossible: more than 95% of the fighters return to service.

Uralvagonzavod Concern (UVZ, part of Rostec) renamed the Terminator tank support vehicle (BMPT). She got the name "Spyridon". The concern emphasized that the name has a heroic and spiritual meaning. The agency is about the names of weapons and how they appear.

Instead of infantry, ground robots should deter the advance of Russian troops, proclaim in Kiev. This is how, according to the idea of the Ukrainian leadership, the problem of personnel shortages and scandals with violent "falsification" should be solved. Ukraine has mastered combat operations with the help of aerial robot drones - but will it be possible to do the same on the ground?

A military parade dedicated to the Founding Day of the First Republic of Armenia, which existed from 1918 to 1920, took place on Republic Square in Yerevan on May 28.

How can we overcome the shortage of engineers and industrial workers, especially welders? To make young people want to work in workshops? Achieve real import substitution? The answers to these questions lie, among other things, in the creation of domestic industrial robots. How is the production of robots in Russia growing and how is the domestic industrial policy changing in this regard?

The first American manned lunar base will be deployed in the early 30s. This was stated by the head of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Jared Isaakman.

NRTKS with electronic warfare equipment help assault groups operate under protection from enemy drones

At the forefront, robotic systems began to be used to combat enemy drones. Electronic jamming devices are installed on the platforms, which make it possible to create mobile jamming zones and cover fighters during combat missions.

The US military uses artificial intelligence not only in the strategic planning of complex operations, but also at the operational and tactical level. In particular, AI is used by the US Army to process intelligence.

Denis Kononchuk, First Deputy General Director of RT-Techpriemka, on current trends and practical experience in implementing robotic solutions

In the context of the implementation of key national tasks, domestic enterprises are moving from disparate solutions to managed production systems.

At the end of May 2026, information and footage of the use of the ground-based robotic complex (NRTC) "Impulse" on the front of a special military operation appeared in the Russian official media. What this complex is, what other NRTKS work on their own, and a little bit about their foreign counterparts can be found in the TECHNOSPHERE Russia publication.
