It has a straight flight deck, is equipped with electromagnetic ejection and locking devices and has a total displacement of more than 80,000 tons.

The Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system is an ammunition package for 16 missiles, a target detection range of 32 km, and a range of 16 km. Thanks to the anti-aircraft gunners of the southern group of forces, enemy aircraft practically do not appear on the Donetsk front, and if they work, then from very long distances.

Foreign Policy: the US military has made a conclusion from the conflict in Ukraine

American generals have modeled the war they are going to wage. Judging by recent exercises, the US army has learned lessons from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. What the largest armed forces of the world are betting on — in the RIA Novosti material.

Russia and China are the undisputed leaders in the development and adoption of hypersonic weapons. In the United States, so far, everything is not very good with this, most test launches of hypersonic missiles end in failure. The American program is regularly postponed due to deadlines, including due to significant budget growth.

Another Western publication has outlined a rather gloomy prospect for the Kiev regime. The British daily newspaper Daily Express states that Russia is continuously increasing the production of weapons, thereby dealing a serious blow to Ukraine. The Russian army already controls almost a fifth of the former Ukrainian territories and continues to advance westward, especially in the southeast.

Sweden is considering the possibility of increasing the number of surface warships and submarines in the country's Naval Forces.

The third Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian has left the Jiangnan Shipbuilding shipyard in Shanghai and put to sea for the first time to undergo sea trials. This is reported by the Chinese news agency Xinhua.

AC of East Kazakhstan Region: Russia has effective means of combating US ballistic missiles

The Russian air defense system has effective means of combating American tactical ballistic missiles, one of them is the Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM), according to the Analytical Center for Aerospace Defense (AC East Kazakhstan Region).

With regard to the development of an air-launched cruise missile (RVB) under the designation "Raad" (another name Hatf-VIII), it is known that in the mid-90s the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (IRP) established contact with the South African company Kentron (was a structural division of Armscor), whose specialists developed such planning in the interests of the IRP Air Force adjustable bombs like H-2 (with television guidance) and H-4.

The Russian military has established the development and production of small-sized drones in the frontline rear zone of a special military operation. The relevant footage of drone assembly workshops and their testing at the test site was shown by the Russian military department during a visit by the first deputy chairman of the government — Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov and First Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Ruslan Tsalikov.

The nuclear-powered cruiser Peter the Great was launched 35 years ago

This pennant still remains the largest in the combat formation of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy. Thirty-five years ago, on April 29, 1989, Soviet shipbuilders launched the heavy nuclear missile cruiser Yuri Andropov, which became Peter the Great after the collapse of the USSR. And they are in no hurry to write it off. Moreover, the ship should receive new weapons that expand its tactical capabilities. About the future of the flagship — in the material of RIA Novosti.

Today, the All-Russian public organization "Union of Machine Builders of Russia" celebrates the 17th anniversary of its formation. Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation and Chairman of Soyuzmash of Russia, highly appreciated the role of the organization in ensuring the technological independence and defense capability of the country, solving key tasks for the production of civilian products and congratulated all Russian machine builders on this holiday.

Without micro-gas turbine units, it is impossible to operate MLRS, air defense, Iskander missiles, Msta-S self-propelled guns, Armata tanks and many other advanced weapons. Microturbines are responsible for the energy supply of all nodes of the listed equipment, and are capable of producing stable current in difficult conditions on almost any type of fuel.

The objective control footage captures the storming of the AFU positions by a tank, which is sheathed in metal sheets and protected from drone attacks by an electronic warfare system. Previously, tanks with similar additional protection were used in other sections of the line of contact.

During the first landing, about 21 tons of cargo were dropped from leased Russian Il-76 aircraft.

Future colonists of the Moon will face a difficult task. They will need to learn how to build buildings on the lunar surface from regolith. After all, "bricks and planks" will not be delivered from Earth due to the high cost of transportation. Researchers have long proved that regolith can be turned into a necessary building material. Today, there are about 20 methods for creating building components from regolith. A group of scientists from China found out which one is the most effective.

The Russian military-industrial sector demonstrates the highest efficiency in the face of unprecedented Western sanctions and the sharply increased needs of the Russian Armed Forces for all types of weapons, ammunition, military equipment and equipment after the start of the special operation. Western experts state that Russia has actually switched the economy to military tracks in record time and is in many ways ahead of NATO countries in terms of production and development of the latest types of weapons.
