russian prime minister mikhail mishustin signed a decree on conducting an experiment on the operation of autonomous (unmanned) vessels from december 10, 2020 to the end of 2025, the corresponding document is published on the official website of the government. 

the modular system of rescue of crews of submarines can solve an old problem of fleet

The absence of a series of rescue vessels (SS) of submarines (PL) based on the project 21300 with a deep-sea diving complex (GVK) indicates not so much the organizational, technical and financial difficulties of creating a domestic GVK even for work at depths up to 300 meters, but the need to clarify the conceptual directions of development of such vessels.

Russia needed an asymmetrical strategy of influence on the geopolitical opponents

For many years, the US leadership has been considering nonviolent and cost-increasing options that Washington and its allies could use in the economic, political, information and military spheres in order to stress – excessively stretch and unbalance-the Russian economy, the Armed Forces and the political positions of the government at home and abroad.

The NYPD technical assistance service boasted of the first successes of its new ward robops.

The robot has been used since October of this year and has already participated in a mission to rescue hostages.

American engineers have made a grip for the drone, allowing it to catch on a branch or other objects and turn off the engines to save energy. Unlike other similar developments, the new grip is activated passively without a motor — due to the bistable design and the force of collision with the object to be clamped. The article is published in IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics.

What threat to Russia is the modernization of the American MQ-1C Grey Eagle

The US army requires that the MQ-1C Grey Eagle drones, designed to participate in multi-domain operations, have a synthetic aperture radar, indicators of moving targets, and radio and radio intelligence tools. Having received such opportunities, as the authors of the idea believe, American UAVS will be able to" look " at the territory of US opponents, including Russia.
