On June 28, the ERA Military Innovation Technopolis (VIT) hosted a strategic session led by Denis Manturov, First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.

It allows you to locate mini- and micro-UAVs at extremely low altitudes

In the Moscow region, a unique Airspace Control System (SCS) has begun operation, which is capable of detecting not only airplanes or helicopters, but also mini- and micro-drones at extremely low altitudes and targeting them with air defense or electronic warfare systems. The developers told Izvestia about the capabilities of the equipment that is already being used to protect important objects from UAVs.

Chinese developers have introduced spider-like robots with the option of using kamikaze drones, in particular, to penetrate into dugouts, basements and other enemy shelters, carrying explosives and striking elements.

The publication "Petersburg Diary" under the heading "Ruslan Pukhov: "Innovations during military operations must be implemented as quickly as possible." Military expert - about the Naval Salon in Kronstadt" published a comment by Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST), on the XII International Naval Salon "FLEET-2024" taking place in Kronstadt from June 19 to 23, 2024.

The salon was visited by 15 foreign military delegations, and 50 military attaches from friendly countries took part in it

Over 200 companies of the military-industrial complex presented their products at the International Naval Salon "Fleet-2024", which took place from June 19 to 23 in Kronstadt. For the second year in a row, the main Russian exhibition of achievements in domestic shipbuilding, as well as new naval weapons and special equipment, was held on the territory of the Museum of Naval Glory and the congress and exhibition center of the Island of Forts cluster.

Alexander Stepanov — on why the United States continues to militarize near-Earth orbit, while envying the joint space exploration of the Russian Federation and China

The growing opportunities of Russia and China in the field of space exploration, the ongoing bilateral projects in near-Earth orbit and within the framework of a joint program for the exploration of the Moon cause undisguised jealousy on the part of Washington, which has long been trying to plant its habitual hegemony in space.

Russian-designed unmanned boats will be presented at the event for the first time

Unmanned boats, submarines, missile ships and missiles, including weapons from the Kalibr system and mini-missiles for the Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and cannon complex (ZRPC), will be presented to the guests of the XII International Naval Salon (MVMS) Fleet-2024.

After the UAV, a new type of apparatus arrives in the special operation zone

Following the aerial drones that have changed the nature of warfare, another type of combat vehicles operating without a crew is beginning to conquer the battlefield. We are talking about land-based (ground-based) combat drones or robotic complexes. How are such devices arranged and how are they already helping the Russian military in the special operation zone?

Ukraine pays great attention to the development and use of unmanned boats in the conflict with Russia, with which Kiev attacks not only the ships of the Black Sea Fleet, but also the Crimean Bridge. A new Ukrainian unmanned boat was demonstrated at the Black Sea Security International Forum in Odessa.

Unmanned vehicles will be actively distributed in the military. At the same time, not only UAVs are developing, but also ground robots. Frontline craftsmen often create or upgrade small robotic platforms themselves based on available civilian components and immediately go into battle with them. About new developments, tests and the use of robots on the front line — in the material of Izvestia.

The first private humanitarian demining unit went to the Luhansk People's Republic

Factories, mines, civil infrastructure facilities and thousands of hectares of farmland in new regions of Russia are still overflowing with deadly "surprises". To solve the problem, at the initiative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and with the support of private companies, several humanitarian demining detachments are being created. The first of them went to the Luhansk People's Republic in mid-June. The correspondent of Izvestia went to see off the newly minted sappers.

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.

Russian troops "affected" the Estonian combat robot THeMIS

NATO countries continue to "supply" Russia with advanced military technologies. At the end of May, the THeMIS robotic platform of the Estonian manufacturer MILREM Robotics was captured in the SVO zone. This machine is very interesting for the Russian defense industry. Ground—based drones from the Baltic States are among the most advanced not only in the West, but also around the world. About the valuable trophy — in the material of RIA Novosti.

In the area of responsibility of the Dnepr group of troops in the Zaporozhye region, a remotely controlled tank, called Vasya, was tested.

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.
