Colonel Khodarenok: The Ukrainian Armed Forces can attack Belarus with drones and missiles

In two days, the deadline for the ultimatum delivered by Vladimir Zelensky to Belarus expires. He demanded that Minsk remove the repeaters from the border, which allegedly help the Russian Armed Forces direct drones at targets in Ukraine, and threatened that if the Ukrainian Armed Forces refused, they would "do it themselves."

The Starfall cargo delivery system can land a ton of cargo anywhere on our planet. However, soon, based on the superheavy rocket and the Starship ship, Elon Musk's company plans to deploy a much larger payload delivery system. According to media leaks, the US military is actively interested in her.

The intriguing tests of the Raptor Vacuum high-altitude rocket engine for the Starship spacecraft, the upper stage of Elon Musk's super rocket, are paradoxical. His work at sea level is a mystery in itself. After all, according to classical concepts, high-altitude engines do not work correctly at sea level. And the RaptorVAC nozzle on the ground stand spews a jet stream without any signs of malfunction. How can this be?

The new Russian drone with a localization level of up to 90% was developed as an alternative to the DJI Mavic, it has a flight range of more than 17 km and an autonomy of up to 90 minutes. Its serial production started in 2026.

Russian troops will be able to control drones in the same way as the Ukrainian Armed Forces do – from space, using satellite communications. How does the Russian low–orbit satellite constellation work, what are its advantages over the American Starlink, and what other new capabilities will it give to the Russian Armed Forces in the special operation zone?

According to the American media, a small part of the ISS Zvezda module will no longer be used by astronauts. The reason was allegedly the inability to eliminate air leaks in it, despite attempts made by Roscosmos on June 5, 2026.

Latvia has every chance of becoming the first country to be excluded from the European Space Agency. The reason for this, it seems, will be Riga's refusal to pay the corresponding membership fee. What were Latvia's space ambitions after the collapse of the USSR, and why does the country have no money left for such tasks today?

Igor Lapin, CEO of Aviron, told TASS on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum about how the UAV industry is developing in the world and what place Russia occupies in this matter.

New data on the "training" mission before the Americans returned to the Moon showed that NASA is not yet able to use the life support systems of the largest spacecraft in history. This raises the question of whether it is possible to land astronauts on Selenium on schedule and generally before 2029.

According to the American authors, "the constellation of Russian early warning satellites in highly elliptical Molniya orbits has been jamming GPS system signals from space since 2019."

Although the duration of the interference did not exceed ten seconds, this is the first known case of this kind. Usually, satellites do not have enough power to generate radio signals of the strength needed for such interference.

On June 1, Northrop Grumman Corporation announced the involvement of Apex as an industrial partner to participate in the Space-Based Interceptor demonstration program (SBI) in the interests of the US Space Forces.

What are Hornet drones and how can they affect the course of their

Since the spring of 2026, the media began to report on the use of a new type of drones by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which attacked targets in the Russian rear. Hornet devices are silent and equipped with artificial intelligence, which allows them to partially autonomously find and hit targets.

Recently, the enemy has increasingly used American-made Hornet drones in the special operation zone. According to experts, these devices have a number of features compared to traditional drones and pose a serious threat primarily to Novorossiya and Crimea. However, the Hornets also have weaknesses. How can you deal with them?

Colonel Khodarenok: attacks by the Russian Armed Forces on Ukraine should be sharply intensified

Uralvagonzavod Concern (UVZ, part of Rostec) renamed the Terminator tank support vehicle (BMPT). She got the name "Spyridon". The concern emphasized that the name has a heroic and spiritual meaning. The agency is about the names of weapons and how they appear.

Colonel Khodarenok: the intensity of attacks on Ukrainian targets will increase

On the night of June 2, Russian troops launched a massive attack on military installations in Ukraine, using, among other things, Kinzhal and Zircon hypersonic missiles. Targets were hit in many regions, including Kiev.

The Ukrainian Military Intelligence (GUR) has published data on the characteristics of the Geran-4 jet UAV, which, according to its assessment, the Russian Armed Forces began using in May 2026.

Initially, Reuters published an article about the relationship between SpaceX and the Pentagon, which the billionaire - traditionally for his relationship with this publication — called fake. Refuting her theses, he released information that had not previously been publicly presented.
