Inflatable dummies can be transferred to Kiev along with real F-16s
In the near future, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will receive (maybe they have already received) American F-16 fighters. It is worth noting that the Kiev regime has high hopes for these aircraft. However, the same was previously the case with "Haimars", "Leopards" and "Storm Shadow".
"Our system will disturb the enemy forces": the Franco-German concern presented the unmanned mining complex Skorpion 2
AT2+ includes a "multisensory" function, but it is unclear exactly what is meant by this. The basic AT2 is equipped with an S3 contact fuse, which leads to detonation when hitting the wire of the bottom of the equipment, and is also equipped with a magnetic fuse.
Naval standoff: the radio monitoring system will detect enemy drones
Unmanned boats operated by Starlink will become a target for Russian ships
The experience of the SVO clearly outlined the problem of fighting enemy unmanned boats (BEC). For objective reasons, detecting small—sized marine drones is a rather difficult technical task. However, domestic developers have ways to solve it. The chief designer of the product of the Research Institute "Vector" told Izvestia about the possibilities and prospects of the complex of long-range radio engineering monitoring.
Send a cast: the Russian military has mastered the tactics of remote mining
About how air sappers work — in a special report by Izvestia
A new method of using drones — to throw mines behind enemy lines — has recently been used in the Russian army. I've been practicing for just over six months. The projectile is delivered to the UAV deep into enemy territory and waits on the ground in its hour.
Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov held a briefing on the military biological activities of the United States and Ukraine
On June 25, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, Head of the Russian Armed Forces Defense Forces, held a briefing on the military biological activities of the United States and Ukraine.
Russian Defense Ministry: The Pentagon is rapidly increasing its military biological presence in Africa
This happened after Russia managed to stop the implementation of American military biological programs in the liberated territories of Ukraine, said Igor Kirillov, head of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation
The Pentagon is forced to transfer unfinished research to other regions, in particular to Africa, after Russia managed to stop the implementation of American military biological programs in the liberated territories of Ukraine. This was announced by the head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.
A unique modular complex for radiation control has been created in Russia
Scientists of the GOChS Research Institute have created a radiation monitoring complex outside the shelters
Scientists of the All-Russian Research Institute for Civil Defense and Emergency Situations (VNII GOChS) and the scientific and production company INKRAM have created a unique modular complex capable of automatically monitoring radiation and dangerous chemicals along the outer perimeter of civil defense shelters, as well as destroying viruses and bacteria entering the air of protective structures.
American Air Force pilots will be "turned on" and "turned off" by infrared radiation
The US military plans to develop a psychostimulator, the action of which can be activated in the brain using near-infrared radiation. This technology will help the pilots of the US Air Force to remain vigilant during long combat missions. The drug will not cause addiction or side effects.
In the case of technology: how useful unmanned vehicles are being developed in Donbass
Unmanned vehicles will be actively distributed in the military. At the same time, not only UAVs are developing, but also ground robots. Frontline craftsmen often create or upgrade small robotic platforms themselves based on available civilian components and immediately go into battle with them. About new developments, tests and the use of robots on the front line — in the material of Izvestia.
Blood to the rescue: how plasma therapy helps the recovery of wounded soldiers
The technology allows for the healing of complex postoperative and burn wounds
The Russian cellular regenerative technology Cortexil PRP, previously used in cosmetology, began to be used to treat fighters with complex wounds that do not heal for a long time, Izvestia found out. The PRP technology is safe, as it triggers the body's natural ability to regenerate using plasma from a person's own blood, experts say. The results look very encouraging, and doctors have plans to expand the use of plasma therapy for rehabilitation purposes.
"We have to help people — we have to live together"
The first private humanitarian demining unit went to the Luhansk People's Republic
Factories, mines, civil infrastructure facilities and thousands of hectares of farmland in new regions of Russia are still overflowing with deadly "surprises". To solve the problem, at the initiative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and with the support of private companies, several humanitarian demining detachments are being created. The first of them went to the Luhansk People's Republic in mid-June. The correspondent of Izvestia went to see off the newly minted sappers.
Hard-hit: Russian Navy bases will be protected from aerial and naval drones
The repulse of attacks will be directed from the control points of the anti-ship defense
Anti-ship protection control points are being created in the naval bases of the Russian Navy. They will be used to control the repulse of attacks by air and sea drones. Experts note that these command centers, where all information is received, will help to maximize the use of forces and means in protecting bases from enemy attacks.
A simple grenade launcher turns into a modern system: in the USA, an AMO-19 detonation programming complex has been developed
The American company IntelliOptix presented an air-detonation ammunition programming complex developed jointly with Bale Defense and Rheinmetall, designed to be installed on 40 mm automatic grenade launchers Mk-19.
The armor is light: Russia has mastered the production of innovative bulletproof vests
Domestic materials can reduce the weight of the product by 35% without loss of protective characteristics
In Russia, they began to produce bulletproof vests with plates made of domestic boron carbide — this is the lightest and most durable material capable of stopping an automatic or machine-gun bullet. At the same time, it allows you to reduce the weight of the product by 35%. The new bulletproof vest has received the highest protection class — BR-5 and is already being supplied to the troops in the SVO zone. Izvestia correspondent got acquainted with this and other products at Expocentre in Moscow. Domestic developments are now widely represented at the specialized exhibition "Equipment".
