News about special and protective equipment

German defense concern Rheinmetall is taking its cue from the world of sports by continuing to modernize its Gladius 2.0 soldier system, which connects personnel, weapons, vehicles and sensors on the digital battlefield.

T-80 control with additional protection requires special skills from the driver

Recently, a separate class of tanks with enhanced additional protection has been allocated on the line of contact. They are used as head guns during an assault or in conditions of fighting in a building. Such vehicles carry out armored groups, clearing their way, and sometimes they are also used to deliver the first assault troops. One of these vehicles from the tank battalion of the Pacific Fleet Marine Brigade was able to inspect Izvestia in detail.

Military experts have suggested what shelters for Russian combat aircraft might be

The Ministry of Defense announced the construction of protective hangars for Russian combat aviation. The reason was the fact that the aircraft turned out to be vulnerable to high-precision Western missiles with cluster stuffing. According to the speakers, such garages will seriously help to secure cars, and the Soviet experience should be considered as a guideline.

The militants of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement hit another Israeli Merkava Mk.4M supertank. The incident occurred in the vicinity of Chabad Yarin in northern Israel. This time, the combat vehicle was destroyed with the help of the Iranian Almas anti-tank missile system. The moment of the combat vehicle's defeat was captured on video, which allowed us to draw several unflattering conclusions about the Israeli Trophy active protection complex installed on the tank.

The product will help to effectively cover coastal bases and ship parking areas

A complex of active protection against unmanned boats (BEC) and underwater drones has been developed for the Russian Navy. This is a special underwater barrier with charges mounted on it. When approaching marine drones, it is remotely detonated, destroying enemy watercraft. Experts note that the barrier will help cover military bases and ship parking areas in the areas of operation of enemy tanks and underwater vehicles, and it can also be used to combat saboteurs.

At the Fluffy airfield in the Sakhalin Region, as part of the Archipelago 2024 design and educational intensive, more than 30 types of modern Russian equipment for protecting objects from illegal use of UAVs, as well as the latest domestic drones for various purposes, were demonstrated, the press service of the NTI reports.

American astronauts have long complained about the sanitation system in spacesuits, which is just a big diaper. It lasts for a maximum of eight hours, there is a risk of developing diaper rash and infections. In addition, there are few supplies of drinking water in the suit. To solve these problems, scientists have proposed a more efficient way to recycle metabolic products.

A mobile bakery kitchen has been developed for the Russian army. The new complex is installed on the chassis of a high-pass truck, in the back of which there is a bakery, a special device for heating semi-finished products and a food warehouse. Such a kitchen can provide hot food to a company of soldiers for three days. Experts note that the novelty will increase the efficiency of supplying soldiers and officers with hot food and bread in the field, which will have a positive impact on the combat capability of units.

The Navy has finalized the ship's schedule for combating aerial and surface drones

Signalmen on the ships of the Russian Navy began to practice the fight against enemy unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned boats. To combat UAVs, crews received anti-drone rifles and shotguns.

Head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces (RCBZ) On the eve of the 106th session of the OPCW Executive Council, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov told about the chemical weapons laboratory of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation found near Avdiivka and numerous cases of Kiev using chloropicrin near Donetsk, Gorlovka, Artemovsk.

Cameras for observing animals in space, super reliable alloys for marine engines of the future, unique glue for electronics – these and other developments of Rostec scientists are in the digest of science news.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
