Astronauts of the Artemis II mission returned to Earth, the capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean

The astronauts of the Artemis II mission returned to Earth, the capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego.

Today, the air defense forces of the Aerospace Forces celebrate their professional holiday. Most of them are at combat posts now. In the face of massive drone and missile attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, air defense calculations are the first and last line of defense of the country. And in four years, these troops have changed significantly. How exactly — in the RIA Novosti article.

On Saturday, for the first time in more than 50 years, humanity celebrates the successful completion of a manned mission to the moon – the American Artemis expedition returned safely to Earth. Why did the Americans decide not to land on our planet's satellite this time, what difficulties did they eventually face, and is Russian cosmonautics capable of doing something similar?

Bogomaz: the wreckage of the Neptunes completely destroyed four houses in the Bryansk region

Ukraine attacked the Bryansk region with long-range guided missiles "Neptune". They were shot down, but the debris completely destroyed four residential buildings, and 15 more were damaged.

The command of the US Navy has appointed a ship that will participate in the operation to detect and board the Orion spacecraft lander. We are talking about a spacecraft that NASA uses as part of the Artemis II mission. The mission consists of a manned flyby of the Moon (without landing) with the further return of a crew of 4 astronauts to Earth.

The Geranium barrage attack drones have undergone many modifications since their first use. In Ukraine, they are persistently referred to as "Shaheds", indicating their original Iranian affiliation.

April 9 marks the 75th anniversary of one of the key designers of the Perm School of Engine Engineering, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Hero of Labor of the Russian Federation Alexander Inozemtsev. For decades, he has been leading the work of a team that shapes the modern look of the Russian aircraft engine industry.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
