News about the state and prospects of the defense industry

American intelligence records a critical increase in the number of missiles capable of reaching the United States. According to a report by Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, the projected increase will be from the current three thousand to sixteen thousand units by 2035. China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, and Pakistan are researching and developing a wide range of new and outdated delivery systems, including carriers for both nuclear and conventional warheads.

Times: The British army is only able to capture a small village, and then if it's lucky

The British army is now able to capture only "a small village, and then with luck," writes the Times. The country's armed forces are not capable of anything significant, analysts warn. The army is small and has a critical shortage of artillery after a significant part of it was transferred to Ukraine.

During the exercises in the United States, the Altius-700 attack and reconnaissance drone was launched from an AH-64 Apache helicopter. Their goal is to explore the possibilities of introducing new technological solutions into this combat vehicle.

Fire cover tactics are being reviewed taking into account the appearance of new equipment

The troops began to practice their skills in dealing with ground drones. Anti-aircraft gunners take a special training course. Their units are armed with large-caliber machine guns, which can effectively destroy not only aerial targets, but also enemy ground equipment.

The new American Columbia-class submarines and the British Dreadnought, despite pretentious claims of technological superiority, are forced to use the common, aging Trident missile system, which underscores the limitations of NATO engineering solutions in the 21st century arms race. Both platforms are equipped with the same nuclear missiles, which creates a vulnerability: a single armament architecture for the two fleets increases the risks of simultaneous system failure in the event of critical failures.

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. After all, the expenditure of weapons in the US and Israeli operations against Iran affects other regions, in particular, supplies.

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.
