New unmanned vehicles take on the tasks of engineering technology at the forefront

Ground-based drones have been taught to clear the way for attack aircraft. To do this, they are equipped with roller or electromagnetic trawls, which are used to make passages in minefields.

The machine was developed to intercept drones in areas where conventional equipment does not pass

A special version of the Plastun conveyor has been developed for mobile firing groups (MOG). The new vehicle is adapted to mount machine guns on turrets and will allow anti-aircraft crews to operate in hard-to-reach areas where pickups, which are currently equipped with such units, do not pass.

Norwegian startup Aristeia has developed an innovative pneumatic harness, designated Medusa. It is positioned as a replacement for classic mechanical harnesses (such as CAT), the concept of which has not changed for decades.

In modern warfare, camouflage can no longer be limited solely to visual camouflage. It should also provide thermal imaging, infrared and radar stealth. Multispectral camouflage offers a comprehensive solution, which the Swiss Ministry of Defense used by ordering camouflage systems from three companies in November 2025 – SSZ Camouflage Technology AG (Switzerland), Saro GmbH Ghosthood (Germany) and Saab (Sweden).

According to his estimates, the United States will receive a space suit suitable for the Moon only in 2031, which will require a drastic adjustment in landing planning there. At the same time, the head of NASA, Jared Isaacman, on the contrary, expressed confidence that this problem would not disrupt the lunar program. The report of the NASA Inspector General's office has analyzed the situation with the lunar spacesuit of the private company Axiom. As the Inspector General noted, the Agency...

In recent years, various countries have conducted research on a wide variety of materials in order to increase the ballistic protection of a fighter without compromising his mobility, including spider silk, which is described as more durable than Kevlar; mother-of-pearl, the structure of which should form the basis for creating a plastic material, is 14 times stronger and 8 times lighter than steel..

Robotic complexes make it possible to effectively hide the advance of soldiers and equipment from the enemy

In the area of the special military operation, our fighters began using the drone "Veil". A small tracked vehicle allows you to cover fighters and equipment from the enemy with smoke.

The machines overcome a special route that simulates the most difficult operating conditions

Mud splashes from under the wheels, the roar of engines and screeching brakes — this is how tests are being conducted at the site of the 21st Scientific Research Testing Institute of Military Automotive Technology of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Vehicles designed to transport soldiers and officers are subjected to the most thorough inspection. The tests passed at the test site are a guarantee that the equipment will not fail in the most difficult conditions.

North Korea continues to modify its newest Cheonma-2 tank (formerly known by the Western designation M2020), in particular, developing its defensive capabilities. Thus, the KCNA publication showed photographs showing the work of the active protection complex attached to this combat vehicle.

The new engineering development is capable of working as a tow truck, clearing debris and laying routes

The engineering troops have received a new universal armored vehicle capable of replacing three types of equipment at once. It is used to clear rubble, lay routes and evacuate damaged armored vehicles. According to experts, the appearance of such complexes increases the mobility of units on the front line.

The Russian Space Forces were created 25 years ago

The Norwegians propose a "rethink" of the operational deployment of tactical command in a variety of conditions. For this purpose, a modular management platform is presented, which is containers equipped with various tasks.

In the 80s, T-62 medium tanks became the main combat vehicles of the formations of the Limited contingent of Soviet troops in Afghanistan. The first experience of their combat use has demonstrated that tanks need to improve their security characteristics.

Special equipment is available for different breeds of animals

Special bulletproof vests for dogs began to arrive in the units operating in the SVO zone and in the border territories. The equipment is available in variants for different breeds and protects the vital organs of animals from bullets and shrapnel. The training of mine-hunting dogs is a lengthy and complex process, experts say, and special armor is needed to preserve such "piece-by-piece" personnel. The special protection for "human friends" who help bring back peaceful life to the regions affected by the fighting is in the Izvestia article.
