Bogomaz: the wreckage of the Neptunes completely destroyed four houses in the Bryansk region

Ukraine attacked the Bryansk region with long-range guided missiles "Neptune". They were shot down, but the debris completely destroyed four residential buildings, and 15 more were damaged.

On Saturday, for the first time in more than 50 years, humanity celebrates the successful completion of a manned mission to the moon – the American Artemis expedition returned safely to Earth. Why did the Americans decide not to land on our planet's satellite this time, what difficulties did they eventually face, and is Russian cosmonautics capable of doing something similar?

Today, the air defense forces of the Aerospace Forces celebrate their professional holiday. Most of them are at combat posts now. In the face of massive drone and missile attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, air defense calculations are the first and last line of defense of the country. And in four years, these troops have changed significantly. How exactly — in the RIA Novosti article.

Astronauts of the Artemis II mission returned to Earth, the capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean

The astronauts of the Artemis II mission returned to Earth, the capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.

Experts named three scenarios for the development of the European nuclear project

Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands are the countries with the most developed scientific and technical potential, which makes it possible to quickly transform theoretical developments into an active nuclear weapons program, experts interviewed by Izvestia believe.

The American operation in the Middle East has revealed one of the problems for American aviation. It concerns the "Warthogs" that have been returned to service for combat missions. These are A-10 Thunderbolt attack aircraft.

According to European analysts, recent incidents in places as diverse as the Baltic Sea and the waters off the coast of Taiwan have shown how vulnerable the critical underwater infrastructure is. The increased importance of underwater objects to global economic activity underscores the importance of understanding these hazards and developing appropriate responses.

While the four astronauts of the Artemis II mission are flying to the moon for the first time in 50 years, they are talking to us through an infrared laser. The Orion Artemis II Optical Communications System (O2O), developed by NASA in collaboration with the MIT Lincoln Laboratory, transmits data from aboard the Orion spacecraft to Earth at speeds of up to 260 Mbit/s.

How cheap UAVs have become one of the most important factors influencing the course of the conflict

The war in the Middle East has revealed the phenomenon of "price asymmetry", when the technological gap between the parties to the conflict suddenly turns into an economic trap for the seemingly stronger side. This observation was shared with Izvestia by experts.

April 9 marks the 75th anniversary of one of the key designers of the Perm School of Engine Engineering, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Hero of Labor of the Russian Federation Alexander Inozemtsev. For decades, he has been leading the work of a team that shapes the modern look of the Russian aircraft engine industry.

The Geranium barrage attack drones have undergone many modifications since their first use. In Ukraine, they are persistently referred to as "Shaheds", indicating their original Iranian affiliation.

The command of the US Navy has appointed a ship that will participate in the operation to detect and board the Orion spacecraft lander. We are talking about a spacecraft that NASA uses as part of the Artemis II mission. The mission consists of a manned flyby of the Moon (without landing) with the further return of a crew of 4 astronauts to Earth.

The first manned flight to the Moon in more than half a century should end with the landing of the Orion spacecraft near the coast of San Diego (California) on April 10 at approximately 20:07 eastern time. During the Artemis II mission, several records were set, unique images and observations were made.

A combination of mobile radars and air defense drones will ensure effective operation

Russian troops are developing a cheap and effective way to combat aircraft-type drones that raid Russian territory.

The Indian Navy has published a technical specification entitled "Rearming with a drone (REARM-D) in marine conditions," which involves the development of a multi-rotor drone for reloading anti-aircraft missiles in vertical launchers aboard ships performing tasks at sea.

Last night, the Orion spacecraft reached the point of maximum distance from Earth, breaking the record that had been held for 56 years and was set only thanks to the emergency current of the Apollo 13 mission. The astronauts also became the first people in 53 years to observe the far side of the moon with their own eyes. Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen proposed naming one of the new, newly formed lunar craters after the deceased wife of the ship's crew commander.

infoBRICS: The American Zumwalt destroyer program has failed

The Russian and Chinese defense industries are much more efficient than the American ones, infoBRICS says. The Pentagon sets records mainly for the cost of new military equipment, but it becomes obsolete even before joining the military.

New mobile electronic warfare groups will help secure entire areas from enemy UAVs

Russian troops have created anti—drone "fire brigades" - mobile electronic warfare groups. Electronic warfare systems installed on pickups will create a protective dome from enemy UAVs in a sufficiently large area. Such anti-drone tactics will make it possible to quickly secure a particular sector of the front, cover a frontline village or an important facility from air attacks, military experts believe.

The NRTK developed in Siberia can operate as a remotely controlled drone and as a manned all-terrain vehicle

The Omich ground-based robotic complex has begun to be mass-supplied to the troops for use in the SVO zone, Izvestia found out. This system combines the advantages of a drone and a tracked all-terrain vehicle.

The commissioning ceremony of the Taragiri, the fourth Nilgiri-class frigate, took place at the naval base in Visakhapatnam ("Project-17A"/P-17A) and the third, built by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilding for the Indian Navy. The event was attended by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh.
