News about the state and prospects of the defense industry

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 new system includes "patrol" and "kamikaze" modes, as well as the ability to control the backup anywhere in the world

Russia has developed a control system for unmanned boats (BEC) with autopilot. It includes the possibility of moving along the route at different speeds, an automatic fire extinguishing system, patrol and kamikaze modes, as well as a number of other functions. At the same time, the range of the boat with the new system is limited only by the fuel supply on board. Experts note that such devices are becoming a universal strike and reconnaissance vehicle capable of conducting surveillance and potentially hitting targets at a considerable distance.

An analysis of the article "The Legacy of the Red Empire – MLRS BM-27 "Uragan", published in the specialized military-technical publication "Tanks and Armored Vehicles" (the official publication of the Chinese Arms Industrial Corporation) dated 11.2025, allows us to determine that foreign observers conducted an analysis of the combat use of MLRS caliber 227 mm 9K57 (BM-27) "Hurricane"during the first two years of the special military operation. 

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.

For several decades, the Su-27 fighter was one of the most popular Soviet and Russian military aircraft, it is well known not only in our country, but also abroad. It continues to be reproduced in dozens and hundreds of copies.

The United States has realized its lag behind Russia in the field of floating nuclear power plants and intends to change the situation. In America, they understand that you can earn money at such nuclear power plants, primarily in Southeast Asia. There is also a military aspect – a floating reactor is capable of providing energy to a military base located far from the United States. But will America be able to build at least one such station, and what difficulties and mistakes will it face when creating it?

Four people flying to the Moon faced a number of minor troubles — from a low temperature at the beginning of work to a breakdown of the urinary system of the toilet on the second day and the need to use bags instead.

Colonel Khodarenok: Iran could have experienced combat crews of SAM

Iran shot down two American military aircraft in a day, amid statements by Donald Trump that Tehran had no anti-aircraft weapons or radars left. Military observer of "Gazeta.En", retired Colonel Mikhail Khodarenok figured out why Tehran suddenly began actively hitting US aircraft and how significant these losses are for the Pentagon.

The Iranian armed forces continue to amaze not only their enemies, Israel and the United States, but also the whole world. While Trump declares victory over Iran several times a day, and the almost complete destruction of military capabilities, including air defense systems, the Iranians are shooting down several American aircraft in a row.

Drone-slave projects are being developed in different countries of the world

Germany, in partnership with Australia, plans to adopt the MQ-28 Ghost Bat drone into service with its air force. Many other countries, including Russia, are actively working on the creation and implementation of similar drones for joint use with manned aircraft.

The European conglomerate KNDS and the Israeli Elbit Systems have reached an agreement on the creation of a joint venture EuroPULS with equal equity participation (50:50) in order to market the universal MLRS EuroPULS, created on the basis of MLRS PULS.

DM: Russia used the "terrifying" Yars missile in the exercises

During the exercises in Siberia, Russia deployed Yars missiles, writes DM. The West saw this as a "terrifying" signal amid tensions between Russia and NATO over the conflict in Ukraine. However, the alliance is also in chaos: it is about to split in two.

Robotic complexes make it possible to effectively hide the advance of soldiers and equipment from the enemy

In the area of the special military operation, our fighters began using the drone "Veil". A small tracked vehicle allows you to cover fighters and equipment from the enemy with smoke.

In our era, the United States has three types of manned spacecraft flying into space, and only one is suitable for flying to the Moon. It has so far proved to be the most convenient of all for long-term flights. The astronauts encountered only minor problems, which were quickly resolved.
