Mirage fighters began to fall in Ukraine from old age

The reason for Ukraine's loss of the first French Mirage 2000 fighter was a critical electronics malfunction. The plane crashed in the Volyn region and sank into a swamp. According to experts, France has handed over obsolete aircraft to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which will continue to fall. The situation was aggravated by the fact that due to the work of the Russian air defense, fighters are idle on the ground and lose their airworthiness. At the same time, the enemy has no chance to correct the situation.

Astronauts were offered to live inside a lunar crater under a "roof"

According to space engineers, it is not necessary to deliver various modules from Earth to establish a permanent base on the Moon. Instead, they propose, in theory, a relatively simple way to simultaneously protect yourself from radiation and create an enclosed space where you can even breathe without a spacesuit — to settle into a lunar crater and cover it with a "roof" that can be built directly on the Moon from regolith.
