The Russian Volna-Kupol-Garant electronic warfare system does not affect ground terminals, but directly affects Starlink satellites, creating interference in eight frequency bands. How does the system work and how does it differ from traditional electronic warfare systems? What analogues exist abroad?

A 500-ton unmanned ship is much more than small unmanned boats, the use of which has already become commonplace. The task of creating such a ship is very difficult and ambitious. However, its implementation will radically increase our combat capabilities.

The US Department of War continues to publish documents and videos about the observation of unidentified flying objects. As before, the origin of the objects from the observations is unclear, but it is quite obvious that at least some of them do not relate to natural phenomena known to today's science.

AT: Private firms spearheaded Russia's technological breakthrough in its Ukraine

Russia has already launched the second group of Rassvet satellites. This is a working alternative to Starlink, writes AT. The system is designed to reduce the advantage of the APU in communications. Moscow has also introduced a new means of jamming "Dome". Both innovations are the brainchild of private companies.

Pecan Island near the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana will soon become the property of Elon Musk's company. There will be a new spaceport for Starship, almost 20 times larger than in Boca Chica, where there are already two launch pads.

Russian troops have taken full control of the village of Krasny Kut in the DPR. Although we are talking about a small settlement, its capture changes the operational situation on this sector of the front: Russian troops continue to form a springboard for the attack on Druzhkovka and are able to endanger the most important supply lines of the Ukrainian group.

Former NASA employees stated that the latest test video of the largest spacecraft in history again showed the problems and limitations of its heat shield. From their point of view, any of the existing technologies of this type is too complicated to implement Elon Musk's vision of fast and maintenance-free reusability of Starship.

On July 24, 2026, a memorial plaque dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Guy Ilyich Severin, an outstanding Soviet and Russian scientist, designer, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Hero of Socialist Labor, was unveiled in Zhukovsky, Lomonosov Street, 10.

Formally, almost the entire program of the thirteenth flight of the largest rocket in history has been completed. However, tests have shown incomplete debugging of a key element of the system. SpaceX finds itself in a situation of really tight deadlines: there are only two years and two months before the scheduled return of humans to the moon.

Russia once again recalled the inadmissibility of further pumping Ukraine with weapons. The corresponding statement was made during the talks between Sergey Lavrov and Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit. Despite the fact that the State Department called the dialogue "good and honest," Washington has no plans to abandon supplies yet. Could the US administration's position on military assistance to Ukraine change?

Victor Glover, one of the four people who flew past the Moon this spring, spoke at a NASA conference and proposed a drastic change to the plan for an American landing on the moon at the end of the decade. He believes that this will reduce the risks for astronauts participating in the mission.

The second package of satellites of the Rassvet group begins its work in low-Earth orbit. "This clearly shows the rapid pace of the Russian satellite constellation's build–up," the experts say, explaining the importance of low-orbit spacecraft for both the civilian sector and the success of Russian troops in the special operation zone.

Colonel Khodarenok proposed dramatically increasing strikes on targets in Ukraine

The Russian Armed Forces continue to strike targets on the territory of Ukraine, and their intensity is increasing every day.

The US military has published the fourth part of the materials on unidentified flying objects. Actually, there are not so many new files: as in previous times, a significant part of what was published was known earlier. However, there are details that are really interesting and point to objects whose nature cannot be easily explained within the framework known to earthlings today.

On Wednesday, July 8, Russia celebrates the Day of the Anti-Aircraft Missile Forces (SAM), which are part of the Air defense/Missile Defense system of the Russian Aerospace Forces. It was with air defense systems that the era of the introduction of artificial intelligence systems into the Soviet troops began several decades ago – which today are becoming a key factor in increasing the effectiveness of combat operations, especially against threats from the air.

Le Monde: Europe has big problems with rearmament

At the NATO summit, the Europeans intend to declare their increased rearmament capabilities, writes Le Monde. However, they are actually wishful thinking.

France intends to completely replace the assault infantry on the battlefield with robots, and tests of the corresponding combat vehicles are already actively underway. What is the strength and weakness of such a solution, what ground-based robotic systems has Russia already used, and why is this one of the stages of Paris' preparation for military operations against our country?

Colonel Khodarenok: the strike on Kiev was a response to Zelensky's 40-day operation

Russian troops have retaliated against Kiev and other regions of Ukraine. Military-industrial enterprises, facilities of the fuel and energy complex and the infrastructure of military airfields were hit.

On June 29 of this year, at the age of 86, the Hero of the Russian Federation, Honored Test navigator of the USSR Gennady Grigorievich Ireikin left for his last flight

He participated in the testing and development of systems for the Buran reusable spacecraft, as well as in the testing of experimental engines at the Tu-16LL and Il-76LL flying laboratories.

The Central House of Aviation and Cosmonautics is under threat of destruction

On June 26, a round table was held at the Moscow House of Public Organizations. The subject of discussion was the problematic issues of preserving the unique Moscow aviation heritage, including the last symbol of the Soviet aviation era, the Central House of Aviation and Cosmonautics (CDAiK).
