Mi-28NM is capable of operating in all weather conditions, performing many tasks including armored attack, destruction of low-speed air targets, reconnaissance… This latest version will be released. introduced at the MAKS-2021 Military Show this summer. The performance of the Mi-28NM combat helicopter’s complex skills will be one of the most awaited activities. Mi-28NM combat helicopter. Photo: RBTH The Mi-28NM made its first flight at the end of 2016 and has undergone state tests over the past few years. In June 2019, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the supply of 98 aircraft of the Mi-28NM version. The first batch was delivered to the army in 2020. The production of Mi-28NM was also carried out at the Rostvertol plant. “The Mi-28NM helicopter has undergone an upgrade and modification process after the “fire test” in Syria. Engineers have tested the Mi-28NM helicopter in real combat conditions to present to the public a version of the most powerful combat helicopter in the Russian air force,” said Professor Vadim Kozyulin at the Institute of Military Science. Russia said. What’s new in Mi-28NM? The new cabin of the Mi-28NM is protected by armor, including tempered glass in front that can withstand 12.7mm bullets. The armor barrier between the non-crew members also limits the ability to deal consecutive damage to both pilots. This baffle can withstand the impact of 20mm bullets. This is the first time on the Mi-28 helicopter that there is a partition between the two main pilots and the co-pilot. The pilot and copilot emergency exit systems can be activated separately.

The new helicopter is capable of using high-precision weapons, has a new control system with integrated AI. Mi-28NM can interact with helicopters, UAVs and other aircraft on the battlefield,” said Dmitry Litovkin, Executive Director of Independent Military Review. The “weapon” of the Mi-28NM helicopter also includes kamikaze drones – a type of suicide UAV. “The Mi-28NM can deploy and control one or more suicide UAVs. When hostile objects are detected, the pilots will provide target data and monitor the removal of those targets,” the expert said. The Mi-28NM helicopter can operate in difficult weather conditions, capable of flying in both piloted and automatic modes. One of the key practical changes for the pilot on the Mi-28NM is the dual control mode: in the event of a primary pilot’s injury or death, the co-pilot can continue to control the helicopter. Mi-28N does not have this mode. According to publicly available information, the main difference of the Mi-28NM is that it is equipped with a radar and thermal imaging support system, with the ability to scan around the aircraft instead of a few directions. Mi-28NM has a huge arsenal, including new generation multi-purpose missiles, including those launched beyond the enemy’s air defense identification zone, as well as various types of bombs. The helicopter can attack fixed and moving targets within a radius of 8-10 km.

For the purpose of expanding photo reconnaissance capabilities to ensure combat operations, the US National Mapping and Photographic Reconnaissance Service is authorized to use images of the territory of Afghanistan taken by the commercial Ikones satellite, with high resolution. 1m resolution. The US military also has the right to use information received from the satellite system to explore the earth’s natural resources. These are Landsat-7, Terra, Orview satellites. Information from these satellites is used to establish, supplement and clarify topographic maps, to facilitate the assessment of the situation in the area of ​​combat operations. The figure shows the NAVSTAR navigation satellite system. Photo: britannica In this war, the United States decided to extend the use of the experimental satellite for opto-electronic imaging of the earth’s surface EO-1 belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the purpose of ensuring the integrity of the satellite. better for the US military. Thanks to this satellite, the US military has received images of the earth’s surface position with a resolution of 30m, allowing it to be used to assess the damage of the target, on the basis of comparing the multispectral images obtained to take pictures before and after taking the blows and to calm down on the need for repeat attacks. For radio reconnaissance satellites, the US uses 2 Acvakaid satellites (Magnum and Mentor types). These satellites allow the reception of radio communications, relay communications, convection, signals from satellites, signals of ballistic missiles, aircraft and vehicle control signals. unmanned flight. It is said that the Taliban use very modern means of mobile satellite communication. However, the American radio reconnaissance satellite allows to capture the communications between the Taliban commanders, to detect in time the location of the troops and their plans. Military communication satellites work with the greatest intensity, but only guarantee 40-60% of the requirements of the forces participating in the campaign. In the composition of this satellite cluster, there are 6 satellites of the DSCS strategic communication system, 3 satellites connected to the Mistar tactical and strategic communication network, 2 UFO-type satellites of the tactical-operational communication system. of the navy, air force and army, six satellites of the SDS transmission system. In addition, the US also uses satellites belonging to NASA systems to monitor and transmit TDSS information. Due to the sudden increase in the information traffic required to secure the operation, the United States had to make maximum use of space communication systems (compared to Operation Desert Storm, the traffic of information delivery increased by 7 times). Especially the Iridium mobile satellite communication system with 66 satellites operating in low orbit. This system ensures that the US military groups have enough communication channels connecting to the US Department of Defense’s digital information network (DISN) and ensures the communication system of the US state executive agencies, ensuring for the national telephone system and the Internet. The NAVSTAR navigation satellite system includes 24 satellites that ensure real-time navigation for US forces. The shortening of the adjustment time between satellites of the NAVSTAR system by the test measurement complexes of the US Air Force allows to improve the accuracy and determine the target coordinates for the use of technological weapons. high. In planning and conducting air strikes and missile strikes, the US military places particular emphasis on using information received from the satellites of the National Environmental Monitoring System (NPOESS). This system is used for weather forecasting, setting up global and regional meteorological maps for a period of 1 day to 2 weeks, allowing selection of information on cloud status, atmospheric pressure, etc. atmosphere and other parameters of near-Earth space. Meteorological satellites Block-5D2-8 and Block-5D3-1 are used with the highest intensity. The improvement of the operational efficiency of the NPOESS system allows to fully guarantee the US military units with meteorological information. In particular, the forecast of changes in solar activity has provided the ability to promptly correct the functions of communication, reconnaissance and navigation satellites, contributing to improving the efficiency of attacks and the detection of satellites. command the forces. To secure meteorological forecasts for navies, NASA’s Quicksat satellites are used to determine wind speed and direction over the ocean’s surface. Thus, during the war in Afghanistan, US satellite systems were used with high efficiency. At the same time, it also revealed some disadvantages, such as the lack of radar and opto-electronic reconnaissance satellites to timely orient the commander to use tactical forces. As a result, in some cases, commanders did not receive timely reconnaissance information. In addition, the satellite’s unobservable cycle over the combat area disrupted the monitoring of the movements of Taliban forces and vehicles.

According to Hot cars, a Korean company specializing in manufacturing Hanwha Defense military equipment has just completed a robotic military car called “Unmanned surveillance vehicle 6×6 – USV 6×6”. In it, this new vehicle was applied in the military after research and testing has been completed. Discover the Korean army’s first 6×6 unmanned reconnaissance vehicle After the performance of a flying device called Valkyrie Combat Drone, recently, information about the Korean USV 6×6 car was announced. This is a reconnaissance and highly combat robot car that meets the combat requirements set by the Korean military. Accordingly, this vehicle has reached level 6 readiness (TR6) for key capabilities such as autonomous driving, obstacle detection and avoidance as well as target identification and destruction. USV 6×6 and intelligent military equipment and vehicles manufactured by Hanwha Defense Company.

Previously, in 2019, another unmanned vehicle was also developed by Hanwha Defense called the MPUGV 4×4 but with less equipment. Royal Union (According to Carscoops, Hanwha Defense, Korea IT times)

Online warehouse trading forged many famous brands in Thach Cau Street, Long Bien District. Frequently changing warehouse locations, using social networks and forms of livestream to sell goods, deliver goods via delivery services, that is the way that objects dealing in contraband, counterfeit and poor quality goods. show in recent times. Although the competent forces have discovered and destroyed many groups of counterfeit and pirated goods, but in reality, this activity is still very active. When the warehouse at 30, lane 139, lane 56, Thach Cau street (Long Bien district) was opened, the Market Management Team (QLTT) No. 16 – Hanoi Department of Information Management coordinated with the Economic Police Team – District Police. Long Bien rushed into an inspection, causing the owner of the establishment not to return in time. At the time of inspection, the authorities discovered that thousands of fashion footwear products with signs of counterfeiting famous brands such as Versace, Gucci, Adidas, LV, Burberry, Chanel, Dior … were stored. , divided in an area of ​​more than 100 m2. The owner of the goods cannot present any documents to prove the origin of the goods. Team leader of Information Management Team No. 16 Nguyen Sy Binh said that the functional forces had to reconnaissance and monitor for months. This business operates mainly in the form of online sales, livestream through social networks Facebook and some e-commerce platforms. They set up a separate room for livestream. In order to evade the inspection of the competent forces, the owner often closes the door, only when there is a commodity transaction, the owner of the goods will open the door, deliver the goods to the customer. In a similar manner, the warehouse is hidden in Phu My A village, Phu Son commune (Ba Vi district) by Nguyen Van Ngoc (born in 1992, with a permanent residence in Bang Y village, Son Da commune, Ba Vi district. ) owner, every day to deliver more than 3,000 orders. When the information management force inspects, this warehouse contains tens of thousands of products from clothes, household appliances, blankets, to cosmetics, functional foods … Worth mentioning, a large number of goods have signs forging trademarks registered for protection in Vietnam, along with thousands of illegally imported household products such as induction cookers, stoves, rice cookers, electric pans … Through investigation, one of the methods is This facility uses is through a software system called TPOS, dozens of other Facebook accounts will simultaneously share livestreams to close orders. Recorded on the establishment’s sales system, in the past six months, more than 655 thousand orders were closed for sale and then sent through the fast delivery service system. The leader of the E-Commerce Working Group (General Department of Information Management), Nguyen Ky Minh, said that the most difficult thing for authorities to access pirated goods sold online is to verify Facebook’s IP address. Online sellers have a lot of experience dealing with authorities, shipping is also mainly through express delivery. In order to avoid inspection, shippers often move and change warehouse locations continuously. Along with the rapid development of the e-commerce sector, the smuggling and trading of counterfeit and poor quality goods on the Internet environment have also increased. Director of Department of Information Management of Hanoi Chu Xuan Kien said that almost every day, Hanoi Information Management Department also receives information about complaints from consumers about online purchases because the quality of goods on the website and in fact is not the same. The common tricks used by the objects are: setting up multiple Facebook accounts, running ads, posting photos of products, but only the phone number or the general address, when customers ask, only receive inbox (message private news). Every day, employees at the facilities perform livestream and close the order to deliver goods across the country through express carriers. Facing this situation, from the beginning of 2020, the General Department of Information Management has set up a specialized division in charge of anti-fraud in the in-line environment, thereby handling and destroying many smuggling lines and groups. and trading in counterfeit and poor-quality goods on the network environment. However, the information management force is short of specialized and highly specialized forces to locate warehouses, demonstrate tricks … Therefore, besides creating conditions for e-commerce to develop, it is also necessary to strengthen anti-smuggling solutions online to ensure the interests of consumers and help businesses do business in accordance with the law.

The Russian Ministry of Defense on April 16 released a video of a MiG-31 interceptor deployed to monitor and escort a US Air Force RC-135 strategic aircraft reconnaissance as it approached airspace. Russia in the Kamchatka region.

In the video, the MiG-31 flies at a fairly high speed, passing the nose of the RC-135 at a close distance. “After the foreign military aircraft turned to leave, the Russian fighters have returned to a safe base,” the Russian Ministry of Defense added.

The Russian side has said it will “not allow” any violation of the border to occur. The time of the encounter is unknown, but almost a week ago, on April 10, the Russian side also deployed a MiG-31 to chase away US RC-135 aircraft operating near the Russian border. Pacific.

The incident comes in the context of an escalating tensions between Russia and the US following rhetoric, as well as the West’s criticism of Moscow to increase its forces to press Ukraine.

The MiG-31, designated by NATO as Foxhound, has been in service with the Soviet army since 1982, seven years after its maiden flight in 1975. Despite its relatively high age, the MiG-31 is still a battle. fastest match in the world when reaching a maximum speed of Mach 2.83, about 3,000 km / h.

The MiG-31 is currently in service with the Russian Air Force and the Kazakh Air Force. This is the first fighter in the world equipped with a passive electronically scanned array radar (PESA), allowing 24 targets to be tracked and 6 targets simultaneously.

According to Sputnik, a squadron of four MiG-31s ​​can manage 800km2 of airspace, suitable for the vast Russian airspace. The MiG-31 is also an aircraft modified by Moscow to be equipped with the Kinzhal supersonic attack missile.
