Russia has created underwater drones designed to track enemy submarines. The devices are already being tested. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to an unnamed representative of the Central Design Bureau of Marine Equipment (CCB MT) "Rubin".

Underwater drones for searching and escorting enemy submarines have already been created and are being tested in Russia, a representative of the Central Design Bureau of Marine Equipment (CCB MT) "Rubin"told RIA Novosti.

Researchers from the Biorobotics Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Polytechnic University of Lausanne (Swiss Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, EPFL) have long been developing robots copied from various species of living creatures, with which they study the neurobiological principles that ensure the movement of these animals. And one of the latest creations of Swiss researchers is the AgnathaX robot, which can swim in the water, like a sea eel.

The latest military equipment was used at the special exercises of the logistics support units of the Western Military District that were completed in the Nizhny Novgorod Region. In particular, in the photo materials published by the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, you can see the latest modification of the BMP-3 with the Epoch combat module.

The ANPA-M underwater drone was developed for the Russian Navy, which interested the fleet command and was presented to the Minister of Defense, Army General Sergei Shoigu.

The Norwegian autonomous electric cargo ship "Yara Birkelan" will make the first flight between the two cities by the end of the year. According to CNN, there will be no crew on board. The vessel's movement will be monitored by three ground-based data control centers.

The latest underwater unmanned complex for destroying mines was presented to the Navy command at the Army-2021 forum, the project manager of the Sredne-Nevsky Shipbuilding Plant (SNSZ)told RIA Novosti Maxim Umansky.

During the international military-technical forum "Army-2021", the concern "Marine Underwater Weapons-Hydropribor" presented an underwater drone designed to explore the seabed, TASS reports.

The Variola remote-controlled underwater drone created at the State Maritime University of St. Petersburg will be able to protect the ships of the Russian Navy (Navy) that are parked in foreign ports, RIA Novosti reports, referring to the representative of the developer Alexey Blinkov.

Russia has developed an underwater drone "Variola"for the safety of Navy ships parked in foreign ports or bases, Alexey Blinkov, a representative of the developer (State Mortehuniversitet of St. Petersburg), told RIA Novosti.

Russian scientists have developed a hydrometeorological drone for the Navy that moves due to waves and practically does not consume energy, the possible autonomy is six months, Alexey Blinkov, a representative of the developer (State Mortehuniversitet of St. Petersburg), told RIA Novosti.

Also, for the first time, the Russian military practiced the actions of mixed mobile air defense, electronic warfare and RCB-protection groups to combat enemy unmanned aerial vehicles

Military personnel on special training in the Volga region for the first time in the conduct of defense used combat robots "Uran-9". This was reported on Friday in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Complexes of reconnaissance drones and cycloplane platforms may appear on Russian warships. This was announced on Friday, August 27, by the head of the project group of air assets of the Foundation for Advanced Research, Yan Chibisov.

Industrial production of combat robotic complexes has been launched, the head of the Ministry of Defense noted
