The American shipbuilding company Huntington Ingalls Industries has supplied the US Navy with the first two small unmanned underwater vehicles Lionfish SUUV (Small Uncrewed Undersea Vehicle). As part of the relevant program, it is planned to supply about 200 such devices to the American Navy.

Bild: Russia has prepared ideal combat units for the war with NATO

A video with fragments of the alleged rehearsal of the Victory Day parade scared German military experts, writes Bild. Ideal combat units were shown, ready to attack NATO countries at any moment, the author of the article adds to the fear.

They will increase the range of impact vehicles and help save the lives of drone operators

Repeater UAVs began to arrive in the area of the special operation, which increase the range of FPV drones and other drones. The device with the name "Mockingbird" can hover in the air for a long time, providing amplification of video and control signals for. Experts believe that flying repeaters will help expand the range of drones behind enemy lines and, most importantly, hide the positions of our UAV operators' calculations.

Putin stated the need to form a new image of the Russian fleet against the background of the changing situation in the world

The situation on the world stage — its threats and challenges, as well as the digital revolution — require the Russian Navy to form a new image.: 8.4 trillion rubles have already been allocated for the construction of modern ships over the next 10 years. Vladimir Putin said this on April 11 at a meeting on the development of the Navy. Now, for example, the qualitative development of the fleet will be helped by the release of domestic ship—based drones and the mass production of unmanned boats - they will have to be included in the unified intelligence complex of Russia. At the same time, a large-scale naval modernization program is already underway in the Russian Federation: 49 ships of various classes have been built in the last five years alone, the president recalled.

On April 11, 2025, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin held a meeting in St. Petersburg on the issue "On the strategy for the development of the Navy for the period up to 2050." The most significant public statement at this meeting was the information that "in the coming decade, 8 trillion 400 billion rubles are provided for the construction of new ships and vessels of the Navy.",

Today, work is underway in the Russian Federation on the creation of the Russian Orbital Station (ROS) — the first two stages of the deployment of a promising space laboratory are planned for 2027-2032. Evgeny Kuznetsov, CEO of the Digital Evolution Ventures venture fund (Rosatom Corporate fund), futurologist, spoke about the value of ROS as an independent project and as a step towards the development of the Solar System.

The device can effectively destroy mines and naval drones of the enemy

Russia has developed a small-displacement kamikaze naval drone capable of destroying unmanned enemy boats and amphibious assault boats. It is designed in river and sea versions and can carry up to 2 kg of explosives. The small size of the device allows it to be placed on the ship in large quantities. According to experts, it can effectively solve several tasks, from clearing the water area of mines to destroying enemy watercraft.

The conflict in Ukraine has revolutionized military affairs in just three years. This was not observed during the Korean War of 1950-1953, the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988. These conflicts between rather backward countries have not demonstrated anything particularly new in the use of military equipment.

CEO of KAMAZ on plans to occupy half of the truck market in the future, on the group's future in divisions and on the realities of robotics

Sergey Kogogin, General Director of the Kama Automobile Plant, in an interview with corporate media resources, tells which sales channels KAMAZ is counting on this and next years, about the group's future in divisions, about the realities of robotics and faith in "once lied", and also clarifies whether it is possible to purchase components from Europeans if they return to the Russian market.

"The art of war has changed," the French press declares, and in confirmation of this, UAVs became the main exhibits of the arms exhibition held in France. Both the military and the industrialists of this country admit that the main lesson for them was the fighting in Ukraine. However, these lessons are not limited to drones.

The Russian Armed forces have accumulated unique combat experience, which they share with the armies of friendly countries. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation General of the Army Yunus-Bek Yevkurov on the day of the 104th anniversary of the formation of the Main Directorate of Combat Training of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

For quite a long time now, it has been possible to state with confidence that the grouping of troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation operating in the zone of its own does not experience a shortage in various unmanned aerial vehicles. This is confirmed by a lot of messages and video evidence on the Internet, when one fairly large target, for example, an APU tank, is attacked by several drones at once. They work again on the tip of a reconnaissance UAV.

Participants practice the necessary skills in the most approximate conditions

The volunteers of the Bars-Belgorod and Bars-Bryansk detachments involved in the mine clearance of liberated border settlements are being trained at the 66th Interdepartmental Training Center of the Engineering Troops (Moscow Region). The training is conducted using the latest robotic ground platforms.

The Crew Dragon Resilience manned spacecraft launched a crew of four people into a polar orbit with a height of 425-450 kilometers. During the mission, more than two dozen scientific experiments will be conducted, including important ones for future long-term space expeditions.

The massive use of unmanned vehicles, and not only UAVs, has become a real revolution that has occurred in rethinking the strategy and tactics of modern warfare using the example of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Future naval officers will master the design and use of UAVs

A course on the use of drones has been included in the program of naval universities. Cadets will study the design and operation of various types of drones and the destruction of enemy UAVs, unmanned boats and saboteurs with their help. Experts note that the use of drones in the navy has its own characteristics, and future officers will be able not only to handle drones, but also to counter enemy vehicles.

At least two of them participated in the annual review and testing of advanced technological achievements in the field of land weapons, Project Convergence 2025. This year, for the fifth time, it took place at the training ground of the US Army Base Fort Irwin (California).

Kirill Dmitriev, the president's special representative, who had previously had a hand in a major scientific and technological breakthrough, says he will soon meet with Elon Musk to discuss joint flights to Mars. There are two problems. First of all, Russia has nothing to offer today to participate in such a project. If you try very hard, it can be fixed — but over many years. Secondly, Musk's plan itself has a couple of pretty weak points. Will there be a joint flight, or will everything remain just words?

Autonomous systems solve front-line logistics tasks and carry weapons

Robotization of the battlefield has become one of the main features of combat operations in a special military operation. In addition to the well-known unmanned aerial vehicles, which perform a huge number of combat and auxiliary tasks, ground-based autonomous vehicles are also being introduced into the military, which are not yet so widely represented. Izvestia has learned how ground-based unmanned platforms are used in the 1st Slavyansk Brigade of the 51st Donetsk Army and what their functions are.
