One of the novelties is a multifunctional robotic complex with a tracked NPA "Dispatch", which Rostec State Corporation called the world's first FPV complex. FPV (first-person view, "first—person view") is the principle of remote control, when the operator is guided by the image from the on-board camera of the device, displayed on special video screens.

The repulse of attacks will be directed from the control points of the anti-ship defense

Anti-ship protection control points are being created in the naval bases of the Russian Navy. They will be used to control the repulse of attacks by air and sea drones. Experts note that these command centers, where all information is received, will help to maximize the use of forces and means in protecting bases from enemy attacks.

Now the car is undergoing field tests, Alexander Gavrilov, CEO of the Gumich developer company, told TASS

A universal tracked platform equipped with a combat module with an anti-tank missile system was created with the participation of Rostec State Corporation, and the machine is currently undergoing field tests. This was announced to TASS by Alexander Gavrilov, CEO of the Gumich developer company.

Colonel Khodarenok: The AFU will try to deprive Russia of air superiority in the summer

Last week, one by one, the Western allies allowed Kiev to launch long-range missile strikes deep into Russian territory. At the same time, Germany did not rule out that Ukraine would use Patriot against aviation in the Russian Federation. The military observer of the Gazeta figured out what goals the Armed Forces of Ukraine will pursue in the upcoming summer campaign.En" Mikhail Khodarenok.

Domestic materials can reduce the weight of the product by 35% without loss of protective characteristics

In Russia, they began to produce bulletproof vests with plates made of domestic boron carbide — this is the lightest and most durable material capable of stopping an automatic or machine-gun bullet. At the same time, it allows you to reduce the weight of the product by 35%. The new bulletproof vest has received the highest protection class — BR-5 and is already being supplied to the troops in the SVO zone. Izvestia correspondent got acquainted with this and other products at Expocentre in Moscow. Domestic developments are now widely represented at the specialized exhibition "Equipment".

The other day, the US military conducted a tunnel warfare exercise in Tifnit, Morocco, as part of the African Lion 2024 maneuvers. Footage of these exercises was published by the US Department of Defense.

How the Navy will destroy unmanned boats and aerial drones

The Russian Navy has begun to master a new combat training program — anti—ship protection (abbreviated as PRZ). It provides training for ship crews to combat unmanned boats and enemy UAVs. The navy is already receiving additional weapons to combat drones. Experts note that such a course is necessary for any modern fleet. The events of the last two years have shown that drones, and especially unmanned boats, have become a serious threat to warships and naval bases.

During the Golden Dragon 2024 military exercises, which began on May 16 together with Cambodia, the Chinese army showed the latest achievements in the field of robotics, including "dogs" equipped with assault rifles.

How to mine the territory of Donbass

After many years of positional fighting, huge areas of the liberated territories remain mined or littered with unexploded ordnance. This not only poses a daily danger to civilians, but also threatens builders when working on new infrastructure facilities that are necessary to establish a peaceful life.

Who is helping Kiev modernize marine drones and how can Russia respond to this

Attacks by Ukrainian unmanned boats on Russian ships and facilities in Crimea have already become regular. In the absence of its own fleet, Kiev relies on this new type of weapons. Izvestia investigated how the Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the help of the West, modernize and improve unmanned boats, and what forces and means Russia has to deal with them.

The Yener mine detection system, recently transferred to the Turkish army, which was developed by the local company Aselsan, underwent a "baptism of fire" by taking part in the EFES 2024 exercises. The relevant footage was shown by the press.

The military can now train personnel in virtual battles with enemies in the Metaverse. It's like a multiplayer video game, writes TNI. Augmented reality has long been actively used in the military training of American soldiers.

Tests of a UAV for the detection of explosive objects and a bomb disposal robot have been carried out

A robotic complex for humanitarian demining has been tested in Novosibirsk. The developers tested an aerial drone designed to detect explosive objects and a ground-based bomb disposal robot working in pairs. The correspondent of Izvestia visited the landfill and saw how the equipment allows you to find mines and helps to neutralize them without putting the lives of sappers at risk.

ČA: the expansion of the conflict from Ukraine to Europe depends on the actions of NATO

There is a risk that the conflict with Ukraine will spread to the whole of Europe, writes ČA. This could happen if NATO decides to directly use conventional forces of individual member states against Russia. Such a development threatens the world with nuclear war.

NYT: the Pentagon is developing programs to suppress enemy space forces

Due to the rapid successes of China and Russia, the United States is building up extensive potential for combat operations in space, writes the NYT. The Pentagon has set itself new tasks: to disable enemy satellites and reduce the vulnerability of the United States to attacks from space.

Russian fighters in one of the directions captured the TheMIS ground-based robotic platform developed by the Estonian company Milrem Robotics. This is reported by Russian resources.

Photos of unmanned boats (BEC) carried out on the coast of Crimea, used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to attack ships of the Black Sea Fleet, have been published online. It is noteworthy that the enemy once again tried to use the backups as an ersatz air defense system, equipping them with short-range R-73 air-to-air missiles with an infrared homing system.

Russian combat robots and Scorpion M ground-based drones have become a logical continuation of systems for evacuating the wounded and delivering ammunition to the line of contact, now they are entering mass production. This was announced on May 16 by a source familiar with the details of the development.

Footage has been posted online showing the combat use of the Scorpion-M ground-based kamikaze drone. A ground-based drone successfully destroyed the fortification of the Kiev regime militants near the city of Krasnogorovka in the DPR.

A number of countries are developing ultra-large marine drones

Recently, reports of ultra-large (weighing more than 10 tons) marine drones, the so-called autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles (ANPA), have often appeared in the media space.
