Rosoboronexport JSC (part of Rostec Group) will organize a large-scale exposition of the country's leading defense enterprises in the Russian pavilion at the world's largest defense exhibition IDEX 2023, which will be held in Abu Dhabi (UAE) from February 20 to 24.

Belgian Defense Minister Ludivine Dedonder announced on February 9 that the Ukrainian military had arrived in the country to train in the management of underwater drones, RIA Novosti reports.

The Ukrainian side publishes a video online, the credits to which say that it depicts an attack on a bridge in the town of Zatoka, Odessa region. Earlier, several missiles were fired at different periods of time on this bridge. Then the Ukrainian side took measures to repair this bridge, through which military cargo (including fuel for military equipment) was transported to the Odessa region from neighboring countries, including Moldova and Romania.

Former National Security adviser to the US President Robert Charles O'Brien said that the country urgently needs to increase the pace of production of unmanned systems, including cars, since today China acts as the main competitor of the United States in this area. According to him, Beijing has every chance to push Washington into the background in this key industry for it.

Figaro: before destroying a NATO tank, a Russian robot will find its "portrait"

The pre-announced baptism of fire of Russian anti-tank robots excites the APU, and Western tank manufacturers, too, according to Figaro. The main thing for the combat drone "Marker" is to identify the enemy tank according to a special catalog. And then — works like Schwarzenegger from the movie.

American researchers are currently testing ground subsystems for servicing the underwater vehicle and will soon begin its direct underwater tests. This was recently announced at the American Society of Naval Engineering Technologies by Rob Ibera, chief assistant to the head of the PMS406 unmanned marine systems program.

American developers have assembled miniature machines that move using contractions of mouse muscle cells grown "in vitro". Biorobots have reached a record speed for such systems — almost a millimeter per second.

During the recent National Symposium of the Surface Fleet Association (SNA 2023), the US Navy Command highly appreciated the achievements of the TF 59 group in the development of unmanned systems, writes Naval News.

Israeli scientists have connected a locust antenna to a machine equipped with artificial intelligence. Such a system is able to distinguish the most subtle odors and move on wheels to find their source.

TASS: the first Poseidon torpedo ammunition was manufactured for the Belgorod submarine

The production of the first ammunition of the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicles for the Belgorod nuclear submarine has been completed, a source told TASS. The agency also previously reported that the crew of the Belgorod submarine completed a series of throwing tests of the mass-dimensional layout of the Poseidon torpedo. Military observer of the Newspaper.En" Mikhail Khodarenok talks about the features of this project.

Currently, the US Navy has 7 large and medium-sized prototypes of the USV – an unmanned surface ship of medium size, which have already demonstrated their capabilities well. However, small unmanned ships operating as part of Task Force 59 are already performing their tasks, and very successfully.

In an effort to exceed the requirements of the US Army for maneuverability, lethality and survivability, the weapons company BAE Systems (UK) offers a completely new model with a modular architecture of open systems for the program "Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle" (Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle, OMFV ).

We are talking about a new project of young engineers of the Kovrov Electromechanical Plant

In the near future, it will no longer be people who will carry the wounded from the battlefield. The development of robot nurses has been a trend in recent years in Russia and many foreign countries.

The adoption of this device will expand the capabilities of the Russian nuclear deterrent forces

A series of publications about a new Russian threat — the Poseidon underwater unmanned vehicle equipped with a thermonuclear warhead, appeared in the Western media in the fall of 2022. It was reported that its launch can be made by the Belgorod submarine that has been tested.

Soulless cars are ramming, minesweeping, extinguishing fires, taking out the wounded

The practice of conducting a special military operation of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine has demonstrated that conducting military operations is unthinkable without the widespread use of military-purpose robotic complexes. We are witnessing a revolution in military affairs. At the same time, the West has become the main source of increasing the combat potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), including through such innovative systems.

Colonel-General Sergey KARAKAEV, Commander of the Strategic Missile Forces, tells about the results of the past year, rearmament, development of new combat patrol areas, about the upcoming ballistic missile launches in 2022 and tasks for the coming years.

According to the top manager of the association "Android Technology" Evgeny Dudorov, in the second half of next year, a special test site will appear on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod region (Bor, Boravtosteklo base), where unmanned trucks and other similar equipment will be tested.

Experts are increasingly calling the military campaign in Ukraine nothing less than a "drone war". Moreover, from the traditional use of drones to obtain intelligence, UAVs are increasingly being used to deliver high-precision strikes, especially at long-range targets. The ultra-efficient use of Russian kamikaze drones "Geran-2" (Ukrainians have not been able to prove that these are Iranian "Shaheds") haunts Kiev, and they decided to prepare a "retaliatory strike" there.

In addition, he told what needs to be done to quickly saturate the Russian army involved in its military with innovative military developments, and revealed plans for cooperation with Dmitry Rogozin's "Royal Wolves".

The crew of the naval minesweeper "Yakov Balyaev" of the Pacific Fleet (TOF) during the exercise to overcome the area with a mine danger in one of the sea ranges of the Avacha Bay used the unmanned boat "Skanda" to search for sea mines. This was reported in the press service of the Eastern Military District.
