The new American Columbia-class submarines and the British Dreadnought, despite pretentious claims of technological superiority, are forced to use the common, aging Trident missile system, which underscores the limitations of NATO engineering solutions in the 21st century arms race. Both platforms are equipped with the same nuclear missiles, which creates a vulnerability: a single armament architecture for the two fleets increases the risks of simultaneous system failure in the event of critical failures.

Chinese experts are closely monitoring examples of the use of missile weapons by the coastal forces of the Russian Navy, namely the P-800 Onyx anti-ship missile (in the Yakhont export version, according to the NATO classification SS-N-26).

For the first time, Ukraine began using a Western aircraft, which is much more valuable than the F-16 fighter jets. We are talking about the Saab 340 AEW&C flying radar. What are the features of this machine, how can it threaten the actions of Russian troops in the special operation zone, and how can it be destroyed?
