MWM: Russia will replace all third-generation nuclear-powered ships with Yasen nuclear submarines

Russia is completely updating its fleet of nuclear submarines with the Yasen projects, writes MWM. The new submarines combine stealth and a wide range of missile weapons. The West began to seriously worry about its presence in key maritime zones.

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?

Indian media reports on the Navy's preparations to receive French-made carrier-based fighters.

The Russian Space Forces were created 25 years ago

Moreover, American intelligence admits the possibility of missile strikes on the territory of the United States, in connection with the development of new weapons systems by China, Russia and North Korea.

It is reported that the American command is going to activate combat aircraft to combat Iranian unmanned boats in the Persian Gulf and, specifically, in the Strait of Hormuz. AH-64D/E Apache helicopters are currently being used for these purposes.

TNI: Russia has created new types of underwater combat drones

Russia has achieved impressive results in the development of underwater combat drones, writes The National Interest. The most famous and formidable of them is the Poseidon multipurpose nuclear system. But Russian marine robotics is not limited to this.

Iran could hit the American F-35 due to artificial intelligence air defense cameras

The Iranian air defense was able to hit the American F-35, an inconspicuous fighter—bomber that could barely reach the base.

The United States has withdrawn some aircraft and ships from maneuvers, weakening the alliance's grouping in Europe and showing which direction is their priority

Major exercises of the North Atlantic Alliance Cold Response 2026 have ended in the polar latitudes. However, their scenario had to be quickly adjusted.
