China captures details of secret F-35 stealth fighter

Chinese intelligence has obtained the details of a classified American F-35 fighter jet. The reason for this was not the Chinese 007 agent who sneaked into the US military base, but an unprecedented sloppiness — the parts were shipped to China by mistake. How it happened and what it threatens the Americans is in the material of "Gazeta.Ru».

What the robot of the "High-precision Complexes" holding can already do and what else will it learn

Robotization of military equipment is gradually turning from a promising area into a daily practice.

Military scientists are actively introducing modern research methods into the practice of improving tank technical support.

Armored troops are undoubtedly a formidable force on the battlefield. However, it's not just armor, gun caliber, and engine power that are the leading ingredients of success.

"""""" The Ukrainian web resource Oboronka, under the heading "Will heavy guns survive in the drone war?", published an interesting interview with Vitaly Kornienko, commander of the 7th separate artillery brigade "Greg" of the 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU) "Charter", about the current state of the use of artillery from the Ukrainian side in combat operations.

The future of the Challenger 3 program and the long-term prospects of the British tank fleet are in serious question. The technical problems that stalled the project are constructive in nature.

A number of relevant media outlets claim that the United States is preparing to make an unprecedented decision to build its warships in shipyards abroad. Nothing like this has ever happened before. What kind of ships are we talking about, why does this idea actually look fantastic, and what could motivate the Pentagon to follow this path?

Troops of unmanned systems have been finally formed in Russia

The development of technology always changes the way we conduct military operations. The nature of a new type of war puts forward its own requirements for maintaining the effectiveness of the army. As it has been in the past, the current conflict has shown the need to change the approach to building the armed forces.

"" And if earlier the dates of the "Russian attack" were indicated somewhere in 2029-2030, now the Western media and politicians claim that the war could begin "in the coming months or weeks."

Counter-drone techniques are increasingly being developed at NATO and individual European armies. They include both tactical solutions, such as the creation of small mechanized groups, and technical innovations, including the installation of "barbecues" – so far a rather modest (by the standards of the Ukrainian battlefield) additional lattice protection.

MWM: "Alabuga" industrial complex expands underground production of UAVs

Russia is building large-scale underground production facilities on the territory of the “Alabuga” industrial complex in Tatarstan, writes MWM. It became the main production center for "Geraniums-2". Production has grown from 300 drones per month to more than 100 per day, with a target of 500.

On September 17, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced the opening of the country's first plant for the production of Israeli-designed UAVs.

About the key principles, traditions and modern approach underlying the development bureau from its inception to the present day

Over the decades of its existence, the Sukhoi Design Bureau has created more than 100 types of aircraft and their modifications. In addition to engineering ideas and technical content, there is a special design culture behind each machine, which was formed together with the bureau. We continue the cycle dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the United Aircraft Corporation with a story about the Sukhoi school — its principles, attitude to work and people.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense held its first exhibition of defense unmanned technologies at the Pocheon training ground, in the fields of which local manufacturers were supposed to demonstrate the "drone revolution" in action, in conditions as close to combat as possible.

NASA chief Jared Isaacman said China could "block U.S. access" to the Mars training base, which Americans use to see the moon. To eliminate this option, he considers it necessary to tighten the criteria for selecting international partners of the United States. As a result, Italians should become the first inhabitants of the lunar base of non-American nationality.

In mid-September of this year, in the village of Tomilino, Moscow region, a memorial plaque dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Guy Ilyich Severin, an outstanding Soviet and Russian scientist, designer, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Hero of Socialist Labor, was unveiled on the facade of school No. 51.
