According to Milena Koloteva, head of the Laboratory of Acceleration and Artificial Gravity Physiology at the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, medical and technical requirements for creating an on-board centrifuge of short radius are currently being formed.

The development also has a promising practical application in the field of healthcare, said Milena Koloteva, head of the Laboratory of Acceleration and Artificial Gravity Physiology at the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The Oktava plant (part of RT-Capital, part of Rostec State Corporation) has launched the production of assault body armor "Obereg".

In early April, the Rostec State Corporation's High-Precision Complexes holding reported on successful tests of the Arena-M active protection complex installed on the T-72 tank. The defensive system repelled the attack using not only Russian anti-tank missile systems (ATGMs), but also foreign ammunition. About how domestic protective complexes for armored vehicles were created and what is the uniqueness of "Arena-M" — in the material of TASS.

The absolute majority of modern means of detecting landmines are, in fact, metal detectors "sharpened" for their search. However, over the past decades, mine developers have learned (and very successfully) to deceive them. A typical example is mines without metal components. In addition, the mine detectors themselves are still far from perfect, often reacting to harmless metal objects located underground.

The ministry noted that the example of Ukraine demonstrates that the financing of military biological programs imposed by the collective West leads to the loss of national biological sovereignty and the undermining of its own scientific and technological potential.

According to the department, only officially in 2023, the US Department of Energy allocated $105 million for work within the framework of the project "Virtual environment of research in the field of preparation for biohazards"

The US Department of Energy, along with the Pentagon, is the organizer of military biological activities, said the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection Forces (RHBZ) Russian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.

According to the department, hiding from responsibility for participation in military biological projects, many defendants left the territory of Ukraine

The United States is searching for participants of American military biological projects in Ukraine who have left this country, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, said on Friday.

Mysterious experiments with insects – and above all with mosquitoes – are being conducted right now under the auspices of the Pentagon. Despite the fact that the research task is stated as the most noble – the fight against diseases, pests and increasing yields – these works aroused suspicions among European scientists. We can even talk about the development of new biological weapons.
