News about the state and prospects of the defense industry

Chinese experts are closely monitoring examples of the use of missile weapons by the coastal forces of the Russian Navy, namely the P-800 Onyx anti-ship missile (in the Yakhont export version, according to the NATO classification SS-N-26). The weapon was developed by V.N.Chelomey's OKB-52 (currently NPO Mashinostroenie) in 1983 to replace the P-270 Moskit and P-700 Granit.

Scientists at St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University (LETI) have created a mathematical model to improve the accuracy of ship navigation. The development will make it possible to more accurately detect objects on the water surface even in stormy conditions.

Yesterday, the Agency announced its intention to drastically change its lunar and Martian space plans. In addition to the previously announced moon landing before the end of Trump's term, the new head of NASA announced the creation of a base there and the dispatch of the Freedom space reactor to Mars.

They confidently destroy Mavics, FPVS, and even large aircraft-type vehicles

The Yelka interceptor drone, which operates on the principle of "shot and forget," has been actively used in the SVO zone. This UAV hits enemy vehicles with a direct hit. "Maviki", FPV and even "Baba Yaga" are destroyed the first time. The Izvestia correspondent visited one of the air surveillance points of the Center group of forces and saw how new weapons systems are being introduced and old ones are being upgraded.

MWM: Russia will replace all third-generation nuclear-powered ships with Yasen nuclear submarines

Russia is completely updating its fleet of nuclear submarines with the Yasen projects, writes MWM. The new submarines combine stealth and a wide range of missile weapons. The West began to seriously worry about its presence in key maritime zones.

Institute for Statistical Research and Knowledge Economics (IIEZ) The Higher School of Economics assessed the level of demand for industrial robots in high-tech sectors of the Russian industry, and also analyzed the companies' medium-term plans to expand the fleet of robots and their applications.

When using this tactic, several missiles are aimed at the target from different directions

The Bal coastal missile systems are practicing a new tactic of attacking enemy ships — it is called the "wolf pack". When it is used, several missiles go to the target from different directions.

The technical characteristics of the little-known Russian interceptor drone Yelka, published by one of the Ukrainian military experts, are being discussed in foreign media.

The U.S. Navy's Weapons Systems Command has signed an additional agreement with General Dynamics Electric Boat to accelerate the construction of Columbia-class submarines.

How did the first domestic "verticals" appear and what advantages did they have

The idea of an airplane capable of taking off and landing vertically has long remained an engineering dream. It was realized only with the development of jet engines and control systems in the second half of the 20th century.

Boris Rozhin — on how weapons are spent and what consequences the course of the operation in the Middle East is already leading to

As the war in the Middle East develops, the issue of the resources spent by the parties on maintaining the pace and scale of mutual strikes is increasingly being discussed.

Until now, the American lunar program has relied on delivering astronauts to Selene on a separate Orion spacecraft, each launch of which costs four billion dollars. Then they had to transfer to Starship, which would land them on an Earth satellite. Now Elon Musk's company has proposed to do without one extra element in the equation. The American media claim that the plan has already been accepted by the new leadership of NASA. If this is the case, the American lunar program will receive a serious positive boost.

While events on Earth are mostly depressing, the news regarding space exploration is only positive. The results of February have been summed up, which became very successful after several failures in the first month of this year. In January, there were a total of 24 orbital launch attempts, but three of them were unsuccessful.

New developments may change the balance of power in different regions

Current international threats are pushing a number of countries to accelerate the development of high-tech military equipment. In a complex modern environment, programs for the creation of long-range missile systems are particularly active. Such projects are currently being implemented in both Europe and Asia. About what these complexes are, what are the plans for their production and what opportunities they give to their creators — in the material of Izvestia.

TNI: Russia has created new types of underwater combat drones

Russia has achieved impressive results in the development of underwater combat drones, writes The National Interest. The most famous and formidable of them is the Poseidon multipurpose nuclear system. But Russian marine robotics is not limited to this.

55 years ago, on March 20, 1971, the MiG-25RU lead serial fighter made its first flight. It was lifted into the sky by test pilot M. N. Elkinbard.

During flight tests of the basic MiG-25 — MiG-25P and MiG-25P family aircraft, the test pilots came to the conclusion that the specific level of flight performance of these aircraft, especially in altitude and speed, requires the creation of training options.

Military historian Dmitry Boltenkov — on how the Russian submarine fleet is developing

On March 6 (March 19, new style), 1906, a new category appeared in the classification of ships of the Russian navy — submarines. Thus began the history of a new class of naval forces of the country. In 1996, the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy ordered March 19 to celebrate the Day of the Submariner.

This means that soon the guys in the periscope will see the wave

The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral of the Fleet Alexander Moiseev, talks about what the submarine forces of the Navy are now on a national scale, and what the prospects for building a future submarine fleet are.
