This radar is needed by the Spanish Air Force, which plans to receive 20 new Eurofighter fighters built according to the improved Tranche 4 standard and improve at least 5 Tranche 3A vehicles from the existing fleet as part of the air fleet modernization program. All these instances must be equipped with the Captor-E Mk 1 radar.

The advanced Russian air defense radar system Podlet-1K is included in the list of many types of equipment captured by militants in Syria, and, according to Western observers, is the most valuable trophy.

Czechoslovakian self-propelled multiple launch rocket system on a wheeled chassis. It is designed to destroy a variety of targets dispersed over a large area. It is quick-firing and maneuverable, but has insufficient range for the conditions of modern warfare. It is in service with the armies of 21 countries. It was used in eight local conflicts.

It is designed for the remote destruction of infantry, armored vehicles, air defense systems, tactical missiles, aircraft on the ground, fortifications and other enemy infrastructure. It is characterized by high technology, long range and maneuverability. It has been manufactured and modified since 2012. It was used by the Russian army as part of the civil war in Syria and a special military operation in Ukraine.

A recent video published by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the first time allowed us to examine in detail the design of the Russian hypersonic anti-ship missile "Zircon", launches of which had previously been demonstrated only from a considerable distance. This event attracted the attention of foreign online industry publications, which noted that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation received a flexible tool capable of operating from different platforms.

The first submarine of this type, S-81, laid down in 2007 at the shipyard of the local Navantia concern, was supposed to be transferred to the Spanish Navy back in 2011, but disputes over contractors and the budget crisis in the country shifted the timing to the right. Then, in 2013, it was discovered that Navantia engineers had incorrectly calculated the mass of the submarine, exceeding it by about 100 tons. Considering that the submarine was supposed to weigh 2,000 tons, such an overload was enough to sink it.

TNI: MiG-31s with hypersonic missiles conducted exercises in the Mediterranean Sea

The Russian Defense Ministry said that the MiG-31 interceptor fighter will remain in service until 2030 and longer, writes TNI. This high—speed warbird is sure to fly for many more years - now with hypersonic Dagger missiles.

The unobtrusive reconnaissance and strike UAV Raduga-7 (English abbreviation CH-7) was developed by the designers of the 11th CASTC Research Institute. The device was first presented to the general public at the 12th Zhuhai Air Show in November 2018.

The US Navy amphibious Fleet is facing a serious combat readiness crisis, and there is no improvement in the situation in the near future.

Turkey is solemnly reporting on new tests of the world's first aircraft carrier for UAVs, the Anadolu UDC. The famous Turkish drone Bayraktar TB3, a version with a folding wing, took off from the deck of this ship for the first time. This event should rather make us happy. Why should Russia hardly repeat such an experiment?

After ten years of testing and short-term storage, a demonstration sample of the Neuron attack drone developed by Dassault Aviation is ready to return to service.

For decades, Tatra trucks have been the main means of supplying the Indian army. By agreement with the Czech manufacturer, the state-owned enterprise BEML is engaged in their assembly. The government has set the task for the local industry to develop its own car in this niche in order to replace a foreign supplier.

The AMX-10RC light tanks supplied by France to the AFU performed extremely poorly on the front line in assault combat formations due to their weak aluminum armor and constant breakdowns. As a result, they got a new role at the front.

Russian scientists have developed their own concept for the development of high-performance X-ray lithography. It is based on a number of innovative solutions that will lead to a reduction in the energy of the lithograph, a reduction in its overall dimensions, the cost of equipment and its use by about an order of magnitude.

In the history of Soviet tank building, there were many prototypes that were ahead of their contemporaries. At the end of the Cold War, the Soviet Union developed an experimental model of the T-95 supertank. It could surpass all modern NATO tanks, writes TNI.

Ukrainian fantasies about a simplified and cheaper "mobilization" tank appeared on social networks. The author of the drawings concluded that since combat vehicles receive massive braziers, which complicate the rotation of the towers, it may be worth abandoning them altogether.

After 12 years of development and military testing, the US Army has signed a multi-year contract with Pratt & Miller Defense (a division of Oshkosh Corporation) to produce a new small arms training complex Trackless Moving Targets (TMT).

The F-16C Viper fighter of the US Air Force carried out the first launch of the Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW) missile, developed by Northrop Grumman, as part of the throwing tests. At the same time, the first combat carrier of this weapon should be the F-35A. During the launch, SiAW was not equipped with either a rocket engine or electronics.
