Ushakov said that the meeting will begin at 14:00 on the 16th, Moscow time. It doesn’t make sense to say how long the meeting will last. Everything depends on the progress of the discussion and the state of the two presidents.

Data map: Russian President Putin.

Ushakov said that this is the first meeting in the “most difficult” situation of bilateral relations, and he is not convinced that certain agreements will be reached at the meeting. But both sides understand that it’s time to start cleaning up this “mess”. He emphasized that any agreement reached between the two countries is compromised.

Ushakov revealed that the meeting will consist of one small-scale meeting and two large-scale talks. During the small-scale talks, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Brinken will accompany the two presidents to attend the meeting. The two presidents do not have a one-on-one meeting plan, but this may change during the summit.

Ushakov said that after the meeting, the two sides will hold their own press conferences, which is what makes this meeting different from other events. Prior to this, the United States supported the holding of a joint press conference more actively than the Russian side, but later reached a consensus, and the two sides communicated with the media after the meeting.

Ushakov said that the two sides will discuss almost all topics of concern, including strategic stability, combating the new crown epidemic, combating cybercrime, and regional issues such as Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. He emphasized that strategic stability is one of the key issues at the meeting. In recent years, this field has accumulated many serious problems caused by unilateral actions of the United States. In addition, the meeting also plans to discuss the prospects of trade and investment cooperation between the two countries.

Russia-US relations have continued to be tense in recent years. In March of this year, Russian President Putin proposed an online open dialogue with US President Biden. After that, Biden expressed his belief that he would have a talk with Putin “at a certain moment.” On April 13, when Biden was on the phone with Putin, he proposed to hold a summit with Putin in a third country to discuss bilateral relations. On May 25, the Russian President’s website announced that Putin will meet with Biden in Geneva, Switzerland on June 16. (Finish)

While the US AH-64 has performed excellently both in combat and in the export market, the Russian Mi-28 has only Iraqi and Algerian customers. The idea that Mi-28 will be chosen by India, however, in the end New Delhi chose the US AH-64. Mi-28 is also a line of attack helicopters with a long development time when the first flight appeared in 1982, but it was not until 2009 that the version capable of day and night combat entered service. After having an unimpressive first field trip in the Syrian battlefield, Russia has continued to upgrade to produce the Mi-28NM version. Currently in Russia’s official payroll, there is a Mi-28A version that is only capable of daytime combat, this version is not appreciated; Mi-28N is a version capable of fighting in all weather conditions including night and the upgraded version of Mi-28NM has only been commissioned in small numbers. To be fair, the Mi-28 is a line of heavy attack helicopters capable of delivering devastating blows to the enemy. However, the Mi-28 did not live up to expectations when it was designed to replace the Mi-24s. In the Syrian battlefield, the Mi-28N did not even prove superior to the Mi-24. This made many Russian generals criticize the developer. Perhaps that is why the manufacturer Mil bet on the Mi-28NM version. Compared to its predecessor, although there are not many major changes in appearance except for the nose, the changes brought from the inside have helped this aircraft achieve high combat performance. Weapons analysts said that with the introduction of the Mi-28NM version, the attack helicopter line was enough to line up with the latest US version of the AH-64E. There have been reports that the Mi-28NM was secretly brought to Syria to test fire by Russia to evaluate its combat performance and obtain positive results. It was from this real combat test that Russia quickly decided to put the Mi-28NM into mass production. In terms of structure, the cockpit of the Mi-28NM is reinforced more firmly, with an air-conditioning system, with additional protective armor, including a metal front windshield that is resistant to 12 bullets, 7 mm. The cabin has an additional layer of glass that separates the compartment between the two pilots, minimizing the possibility of the main pilot and the pilot pilot dying at the same time from enemy fire. The alloy frame of the Mi-28NM is able to withstand 20mm anti-aircraft shells. With the design applied on Mi-28NM, for the first time the principle of separating the cockpit between the main pilot and the pilot pilot has been applied. In the event of an emergency when the plane is above 100 m above the ground, the crew can parachute out when the plane crashes and crashes. The emergency exit system will be activated by the main pilot and the pilot pilot separately. According to Mr. Dmitry Litovkin, CEO of Independent Military Review, Mi-28NM is an attack helicopter version with enhanced tactical features, especially combat power. The helicopter is equipped with high-precision weapons, has a new control system integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). Mi-28NM is compatible, join the battle formation with helicopters, UAVs and other aircraft on the battlefield. In terms of firepower, the Mi-28NM heavy attack helicopter is equipped with a variety of powerful weapons systems, including new-generation multipurpose missiles and various bombs. The helicopter can attack stationary and moving targets within a radius of 8-10 km. Mi-28NM has a new LSN-296 aiming system, which can control two of Russia’s most powerful anti-tank missiles today, Khrizantema and Vikhr. The pilot of the Mi-28NM is equipped with a flying helmet with a specially designed target indicator system, displaying panoramic information to aim at targets in all directions. Mi-28NM is equipped with Nadterechny Н025 radar as well as a new generation of aiming and guidance complexes, including a control system for landing in dark and foggy conditions, which helps to improve combat efficiency. almost twice that of its predecessor. In the design of the Mi-28NM, the position of the radar transceiver remains above the main rotor of the helicopter. In addition to the upgraded avionics and body frame, the other difference is that the propeller of the Mi-28NM uses composite materials to make the helicopter more stable, the new engine is stronger but more fuel-efficient than that of the Mi-28NM. Predecessor. In addition, Mi-28NM is also equipped with a suicide drone. Helicopters can enter a predefined combat area and launch one or more drones from the cockpit. Once the target has been identified, the crew will report the data and monitor the kill launch process. Mi-28NM is capable of operating in all weather conditions, can fly in both automatic and manned modes, adapts to all kinds of terrain. One of the most practical improvements in the Mi-28NM is the crew’s “double control” mode. In the event that the main pilot is injured or killed, the pilot can still control the helicopter. Another improvement is that Mi-28NM is equipped with an additional radar system on the cockpit, capable of scanning around the aircraft, with a scanning angle of up to 90 degrees horizontally and 44 degrees vertically, helping detect and locate multiple targets at the same time. With such top-notch features, Russia’s Mi-28NM is expected to create a breakthrough in the combat capabilities of the Russian military as well as in the export market.

The aircraft was built by the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association. Luxury meeting room on the plane. Bedroom with exquisite furniture. The conference table is decorated with gold. Bar and fully equipped kitchen. It is known that Putin spends more time working on flights than all his predecessors. The “Flying Kremlin” can reach speeds of 900 km/h. This state-of-the-art aircraft also possesses the optimal communication system to command troops in combat. Another meeting room on the plane is worth more than $550 million. In-flight bathroom with gold-plated toilet seat. Interior in neoclassical style. Luxury table and chairs on Ilyushin Il-96-300 aircraft exclusively for the president. The aircraft is equipped with a fully equipped gym. The Russian leader took a plane to La Grange Villa located on Lake Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland to meet his counterpart Joe Biden at the Russia-US summit. Earlier, the US President shared Putin as a “worthy opponent” at a press conference after the NATO summit.

Upgraded Russian Mi-28NM attack helicopter. Photo: TASS The demonstration of the complex technical features of the Mi-28NM attack helicopter will be one of the most awaited events of MASK-2021. “The Mi-28NM helicopter has undergone many upgrades after being tested on the Syrian battlefield. Engineers have successfully experimented in real combat conditions to present the most powerful version of the ‘iron bird’ in the Russian air force,” said Professor Vadim Kozyulin of the Russian Academy of Military Sciences. . In terms of structure, the cockpit of the Mi-28NM is reinforced more firmly, with an air-conditioning system, with additional protective armor, including a metal front windshield that is resistant to 12 bullets, 7 mm. The cabin has an additional layer of glass that separates the compartment between the two pilots, minimizing the possibility of the main pilot and the pilot pilot dying at the same time from enemy fire. The iron frame of the Mi-28NM is capable of withstanding 20mm anti-aircraft shells. With this design, for the first time, the principle of separating the cockpit between the main pilot and the pilot pilot was applied. In the event of an emergency when the plane is above 100 m above the ground, the crew can parachute to escape when the plane crashes and crashes. The emergency exit system will be activated by the main pilot and the pilot pilot separately. Mi-28NM is equipped with a powerful weapon system and firepower.

US President Joe Biden. Photo: AP “He’s smart, he’s tough, and I see him as a worthy opponent,” Biden said. At the same time, President Biden said that the upcoming meeting with President Putin is important and he will ask Moscow to cooperate in areas of mutual interest if the Kremlin chooses to do the same, according to Reuters. “I want to make it clear to President Putin that there are areas where we can cooperate if he chooses to go this way. If he chooses not to cooperate and act the way he has in the past with regard to cybersecurity and certain other activities, we will respond in the same way,” Biden said. However, President Biden also said that he would make it clear to Putin where the “red lines” are. “I have shared with our allies what will convey to Putin, that I do not seek conflict with Russia but we will respond if Russia continues its harmful activities and we will not. failed to defend the transatlantic alliance. We stand for democratic values,” Biden said. In addition, the White House president also noted that “it would be a disaster” if Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny died in prison. Specifically, according to the US leader, “Mr Navalny’s death will be another sign that Russia has little or no intention to adhere to basic human rights. It was a disaster. That does nothing but hurt Russia’s relationship with the rest of the world.” It is known that the meeting between President Biden and his counterpart Putin is scheduled to take place in Ho Chi Minh City. Geneva (Switzerland) on June 16. Both Washington and Moscow welcomed the upcoming summit as a positive step towards finding stability in the bilateral relationship.

Two US F-35 fighter jets attempted to enter Syrian airspace and approach a Russian military base in the Syrian Arab Republic. However, Russian air defense systems at Khmeimim airbase and Russian naval base in Tartus (Syria) detected it. The US F-35 was confident in its superior stealth capabilities, but it was quickly discovered by Russia. Immediately after being exposed, a Russian Su-30SM was dispatched to intercept. The Su-30SM has just had an F-35 interception that scared US pilots. According to information obtained by the AVP news agency, the Russian fighter jet hid by activating electronic countermeasures and approached two US F-35s without being detected. The appearance of the Su-30SM was completely unexpected for American pilots. Despite the overwhelming advantage in numbers, two F-35 fighters were forced to turn around immediately and leave the border area of ​​Syria. “The F-35 pilots panicked and realized their failure. They don’t think long and want to leave the danger zone,” reads a document published in the Baijiahao publication. Up to this point, this is the second incident involving the Russian Su-30 fighter intercepting the US F-35. Russian patrol cars stopped American armored vehicles a few days ago. In recent times, Russia and the United States have frequently encountered each other in Syria. In each of the US violations, Russia reacts very strongly, thereby sending a clear message to Washington. A few days ago, two US and Russian patrol convoys had a tense clash. The voluntary movement of US forces was stopped by the Russian military police and this is also the second time in about 30 days that the two sides’ forces have clashed on a Syrian highway. The unannounced move is seen as an act of US tension in relations with Russia in Syria. With its fierceness, Russia also had a response message. Recently, a published photo shows Russian patrols approaching a US military facility in the east of the Syrian Arab Republic. The published image shows that Russia’s “Steel Leopard” BTR-82A aimed guns at the US command post and armored vehicles. According to the AVP news agency, this close action proves Russia’s superiority and it is also a way to convey the message “all provocations will be quelled”. The photo shows that the US base and armored vehicles are within range of the “Steel Leopard” BTR-82A. In the photo published on the Telegram community, we can clearly see that the BTR-82A armored vehicle’s gun is aimed directly at the US military base. To this day, it is not clear where and under what circumstances this photo was taken. But, before this photo was published, the Russian military convoy stopped the American convoy. “Iron leopard” BTR-82A terrified many enemies on the battlefield. (ARMIES POWER source) It should also be noted that since the beginning of the year, Russia has significantly increased its presence in the territories of Syria. And from Washington’s perspective, some of the areas where Russian forces have increased their presence are already controlled by US forces. AVP source said that Russian military equipment and even military aircraft have appeared more and more often in these areas. Peace (According to AVP)

Recently, the Kunakorn Jailbanjerd tour guide posted a photo of a tourist with his feet on the front seat. According to Kunakorn Jailbanjerd’s Facebook account, the female tourist in the picture is from Russia. She took a ferry to Pattaya that day. But on the way, this lady raised her foot and placed it on the front row. I don’t know if this time because the opponent is a fighting ethnic girl, Kunakorn Jailbanjerd did not step forward to stop it!

Not long ago, Narong Thaopanya also revealed on the Internet that a French female tourist put her “Jade Feet” on the front seat on the bus, which made the Thai tour guide in the front row depressed.

Moreover, he was indignant that many communications made this beautiful female tourist put down her expensive feet, but the female tourist still did her own way, so Narong Thaopanya had to smell the smelly smell all the way.

In Thai folklore, the feet are considered dirty. Of course, in our daily tradition, putting your feet on the front seat is also an extremely low-quality behavior.

When it comes to the quality of tourists, Chinese tourists have also “showed their faces” in Thailand. A few years ago, Thai media reported that Chinese tourists were washing their feet in the wash basin! Not to mention that this kind of behavior is extremely low quality. When we travel, we must pay attention to our own speech and behavior. We must respect different places and countries and different folk cultures. This is not only a manifestation of personal qualities, but also a basic quality of travellers. ?

“However, it is still too early to announce the modernization of the Su-57”, said Major General Vladimir Popov, member of the Expert Council of the movement “Strong Russia”, Honored Military Pilot. launched and added, so far only 3 squadrons are flying this new generation fighter. “Here, we are most likely talking about the completion of the second-stage engines. By the end of the year they are expected to enter series production with characteristics that are true to the standards of the 5th generation aircraft.” “Today, the Su-57 flies on the AL-41F1S for 4+ generation fighters, despite its high maneuverability thanks to thrust vector control, a new engine has been produced for it, went through testing and the certification was practically passed,” Popov said in an interview with PolitExpert. The upgraded version of the Su-57 is most likely just a second-stage engine integration Now the central question regarding when to put the new engine into production is decided. Boris Popov suggests that Minister Manturov is most likely alluding to this when talking about the modernization of the Su-57. Phase two engines have been included in the project, but their creation is being delayed. “It has to do with economic issues at home and abroad, especially when Western rivals have come a long way. But now this period is over. We are completely independent. production, testing new engines and getting ready for mass production,” Major General Popov explained. “Currently in practice, operational experience is being gathered when the characteristics of the aircraft are confirmed,” emphasized Popov. “It’s not the test engineers that prepare the aircraft, but the technical staff who work directly in the unit. This is like another human quality. In this case, some nuances emerge, those New processes are being approved, parts or even systems are changing,” said the honorary pilot. “Two years have passed since these aircraft entered service with Air Force units. There have been a number of minor changes that need to be made to the structure. This is also a type of modernization for the Air Force. for the Su-57”, Major General Vladimir Popov concluded.

“As early as Soviet times, this concept was formed when our armed forces simultaneously used front-line fighters of both heavy and light.” “If in the fourth generation, the MiG-29 plays the role of a twin-engine light fighter and the corresponding heavy is the Su-27, in the fifth generation we have the same twin-engine Su-57. for expensive”. “Until recently we did not have an aircraft of another light weight class,” said AviaPort’s head of analysis, expert Oleg Panteleev. At the same time, light and heavy fighters are designed to solve different problems. “Heavy fighters are needed to cover large areas, which means they have to fly a long enough distance before completing the mission,” the expert explained. “For light fighters, aircraft with fuel reserves and a smaller combat range, another mission has been determined. Figuratively speaking, it would fight over a protected object and tackle an equivalent range of missions in terms of versatility, including aerial combat and assault against ground and water targets, but at a shorter distance from its base,” added Panteleev. Concept graphics of a new generation of Russian single-engine light fighter This expert considers the idea of ​​​​building a single-engine fighter to be right. “Common sense, a single-engine aircraft will always be cheaper than a two-engine aircraft if we consider comparable performance,” he said. “However, in the event of one engine failure, the plane is likely to crash, while a twin-engine aircraft can continue to fly thanks to the other engine.” “But with the progress being made in improving the engines and increasing their reliability, situations where engine failure leads to the loss of an aircraft are quite rare. Second, rescue work has developed well enough to ensure guarantee the rescue of the pilot,” Panteleev said. The expert also pointed out that at the test stage, Al-31FN series 3 and 4 engines can be used. In addition, during aircraft construction, flight tests can be performed on existing engines to check the operation of systems independent of the dynamometer. Of course it does not match the full range of engine characteristics that are the target of the aircraft. “We also know that the AL-31 and its modifications are a well-run and mass-produced engine with high reliability due to the modernization carried out. So at the experimental stage, its use proved to be quite reasonable,” said Panteleev. At the same time, the expert noted that the construction of engines that can be used in the light version of the fifth-generation aircraft has been taking place in Russia for a long time. “We remember that the new engine for the Su-57 was used and the T-50 prototype of the Su-57 fighter even flew with this engine. So there will certainly be no delay in creating a new engine,” Panteleev said. As for the difficulties that need to be solved when building a fifth-generation light fighter, the expert notes a large number of requirements for it. Often these requirements conflict – “compact, low reflectivity and high payload, long flight time and, if possible, supersonic cruise; deployment of concealed weapons and an increase in the range of weapons carried, including relatively large long-range missiles”. “So the main difficulty is how to achieve the optimal combination of requirements, and at the same time to compete on price so that the aircraft does not burden the Russian budget and is attractive for export.” Mr. Panteleev concluded.

The Russian Ministry of Defense is equipped with the most powerful pistol in the world. (Photo: RIA) Earlier, the Central Research Institute of Precision Mechanics of Russia (TsNIITOCHMASH part of the state-owned high-tech corporation Rostec) developed the most powerful ammunition model in the world for a 9 mm self-loading pistol. This ammunition for the Udav series of semi-automatic pistols has the ability to penetrate level 2 bulletproof armor and at a greater range than similar ammunition in the world. In addition to superior armor penetration, thanks to the special warhead design, the Udav bullet also has no explosion and no flash of the muzzle. According to Izvestia, the plan to purchase Udav pistols by the Russian Ministry of Defense includes two main versions: a mass-use version for the army with code number 6P72 and a specialized version with code number 6P72-1. The second version of the gun has a silencer and a laser targeting device. Lasers can work even in daylight, they emit infrared rays that are not visible to the naked eye. However, it is possible to see clearly if using the special force’s night sight. For both versions to order, delivery will begin this year and be completed by November 10, 2023. The estimated cost to buy this gun is $5,214 million. The main feature of the Udav is the use of some new ammunition with more powerful firepower, caliber 9×21 mm and with a range of up to 50-100 m. Like other military weapons, the 6P72 is designed and tested in temperatures ranging from minus 50 degrees Celsius to positive 50 degrees Celsius. Even a dusty atmosphere will not affect this gun. . According to General Director of the Central Research Institute of Precision Mechanics of Russia Albert Bakov, the secret of TsNIITOCHMASH experts lies in the fact that each Udav bullet carries an armor-piercing bullet core. Despite skepticism during the design process, it was later proven that the design of this cartridge did not affect the accuracy of each shot. According to the Rostec press center, the development of TsNIITOCHMASH has been recognized as an invention and has been officially patented by the Intellectual Property Office of the Russian Federation. TsNIITOCHMASH is one of the leading Russian weapons developers. The history of this research and production enterprise dates back to 1944. Over the past 75 years, TsNIITOCHMASH experts have produced more than 150 models of small-caliber guns, artillery, anti-tank weapons and ammunition. The most well-known products are the Ratnhik combat kit, underwater guns – SPP-1 pistols and APS automatic guns, as well as specialized weapons: SR-1M and PSS pistols, submachine guns SR-2 and SR -3M compact size. It is also possible to mention the anti-tank missile system “Kornet”, self-propelled artillery “Nona” and “Lotos”. Within the framework of the Army-2019 forum, Rostec Corporation introduced the 9 mm Udav self-loading pistol, developed at TsNIITOCHMASH. Some pictures of Udav pistols: (Photo: Rostec)

“There are many reasons why I made the trip, because of its convenient geographical location and reasonable cost, but importantly, after graduation, there will be less opportunity to return to this beautiful land,” Kien shared. . Tran Kien made the trip to keep memories of his student days in Russia. The Ancient Capital of the North – Saint Petersburg Saint Petersburg is the second largest city in terms of economy, culture and science of Russia. This place is also known as the Northern capital of the birch country. This city is where Kien has lived and studied for the past 6 years. “The dormitory where I live is only a 5-minute walk from the Akademicheskaya subway station, so it is very convenient to move to points in the city,” Kien said. Sights: Saint Isaac’s Church, Statue of Pie the Great, Winter Palace, Our Lady of Kazan Church, Peter & Paul Fort Church and Rabbit Island… Church of Saint Isaac From Akademicheskaya I moved to Admiralteyskaya wharf. Travel time between 2 subway stations is about 30 minutes. From the pier, it takes about 10 minutes to walk to St. Isaac’s church, you can’t help but be overwhelmed by the magnificent historical architecture. This place is an ideal place when coming to Saint Petersburg, especially for those who love to explore art. Not only can you visit the inside of the church, you can also set foot on the detour around the giant dome to admire the whole scene of the ancient city. Monument to Peter I I continued walking for about 10 minutes to get to the Monument of Peter I, which is considered one of the symbols of the city of Saint Petersburg. The statue is made of green bronze material, so it is also known as the “Green Bronze Horseman” statue. View of the street and some symbols of the city of Saint Petersburg. Winter Palace From the monument, walk along the banks of the Neva River about 15 minutes to the Winter Palace. Located on the Neva River, this is the most famous architectural work of the city of Saint Petersburg. Palace with rooms decorated lavishly, splendidly with many famous works of art. Church of Our Lady of Kazan The next day, I took the subway to Gostiny Dvor station, then walked along Nevsky Avenue to visit the Church of Our Lady of Kazan. Located in the heart of the city center of Saint Petersburg on the famous Nevsky Street, the Church of Our Lady of Kazan is the symbol of Russia. I was really impressed by the unique and delicate architectural style of the church. Peter & Paul Fortress Church The next day I went to Admiralteyskaya Wharf, walked around the street corners, looked at the beautiful Neva River and visited the Peter & Paul fortress church on Rabbit Island. Inside the fortress grounds are the galleries of the St. Petersburg. Ancient city with iconic architecture of Russia. Sochi and the romantic Crimea Olympic City – Sochi Sochi is a city in the Krasnodar region, located just north of Russia’s border with the republic of Abkhazia on the Black Sea coast. This is considered the largest resort city of Russia. Sochi became more known to the world in 2007, when it was selected to host the 2014 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games. My first impression when coming to Sochi is that the atmosphere is very pleasant. Sochi has enough qualities to become an attractive destination on the world tourism map from nature, climate to people. The forests, the beach, the high blue sky, the snow-covered hills and the busy streets at night give the city its very own beauty. This is the right place for adventure game lovers. I traveled by taxi along the mountain road, looking from the top of the hill down to the vast space, the majestic forest and the cold winds blowing incessantly made me overwhelmed. There are many thrilling games for visitors such as bungee jumping, Sochi swing, zipline… Sochi is Russia’s largest and busiest summer seaside tourist city. Crimean peninsula Crimea is a large peninsula in Europe located between the Seas of Azov and the Black Sea, connected to the mainland of Ukraine by the Isthmus of Perekop. Having just arrived at the airport, I had to buy a new phone SIM to be able to connect to the internet. Although Crimea is part of Russia, a separate sim must be used here and private taxi services are only available locally. The network here is quite weak, the taxi service is not good, it is difficult to book a trip, so the travel is quite tiring. In return, here has a cool climate, beautiful natural scenery, mountains running along the coast create a feeling of peace and lightness. The first day in Crimea, I went to the castle of the Swallow’s Nest, built on top of a cliff reaching out to the sea, creating a majestic and romantic landscape. On the second day, I went to Vorontsov castle – one of the oldest and largest royal castles of Crimea, located in the town of Alupka. The building was built by Prince Mikhail Vorontsov in 1828-1848 as a personal guesthouse. On the 3rd day, I booked an apartment in Cape Fiolent to enjoy the unique natural landscape on the Black Sea coast, then visited the heart lake. The lake, formed in the Kadykovsky quarry in Balaklava, is one of the most interesting and beautiful places in Crimea. This landmark is famous for its interesting heart shape and turquoise water. On the last day of the trip, I got up early to walk on the beach in Cape Fiolent, then took a taxi to the center of Sevastopol, to visit the iconic Shipwreck – one of the most famous monuments here.

Vadim Kozyulin, a professor at the Russian Academy of Military Sciences, said of the construction of this barracks: “The construction force of the army decided to recreate and preserve the old appearance of the building.” Despite being so ancient, the building still meets most of the modern requirements for safety and comfort. The building can accommodate up to 200 military personnel living in it. The building has full bedrooms with beds, drawers, a gym, and a relaxation room where soldiers can read books or watch TV. According to expert Kozyulin, the construction of this barracks has attracted the attention of the press throughout Russia and this is a good way to enhance the image of the country.

The MiG-35 is an upgraded product of the MiG-29K/KUB and MiG-29M/M2, which is currently undergoing final testing. “The MiG-35 is in the state-level general testing stage and has already obtained preliminary certification to obtain the certification,” said Musheg Baloyan, Director of the MiG-29M and MiG-35 Aircraft Program at the MiG Aircraft Corporation. can be put into pilot production. Pilots love these planes because they are easy to operate and offer many advantages.” MiG-35 . fighter The MiG-35 is the 4++ generation of aircraft. They are equipped with a series of modern technology, but the fate is extremely bleak. Since its announcement in 2007, the development of the MiG-35 has been relatively slow. Only in 2013, the Russian Air Force announced plans to buy a total of 37 of these aircraft. Up to now, a total of 14 MiG-35s have been produced, of which 6 are in the process of testing and 8 are in the mass standard. Russia remains the sole operator and operator of the MiG-35. MiG-35 . fighter The Russian media must also admit that, although there have been many changes, it is the appearance that is almost unchanged compared to the MiG-29 that makes them lose their attractiveness, besides, despite having an engine with a thrust direction. multi-dimensional, but this RD-33MK engine is really just an improvement from the RD-33 that was born in the early 1970s. On the other hand, the RD-33 was never considered an excellent engine, They are quite fuel efficient and often emit black smoke trails. Previously, even the Russian Ministry of Defense also refused to order this fighter line, many sources also said that Russia was forced to buy MiG-35 to leverage the promotion and export of this aircraft. and most importantly, to save the plane maker Mikoyan from bankruptcy. Perhaps Mikoyan has to do more for the MiG-35 – because this is their only salvation at the moment – for this aircraft to become a ‘hot’ item similar to the Su-35, first of all. is the trust of the Russian air force itself, then the air forces of countries that have traditionally used Russian aircraft.

The SVLK-14S is one of the world’s leading sniper rifles when it comes to high accuracy and long range. It is known that the SVLK-14S is a sniper rifle model made by Russian weapons designer Vladislav Lobaev, and also the owner of the Lobaev Arms weapons company. According to information announced by Lobaev Arms, the SVLK-14S was developed based on the CheyTac USA M300 sniper rifle model with some changes in caliber and magazine design. Specifically, Lobaev Arms has optimized the USA M300 to make it more Russian and more reliable on the battlefield along with improving the gun’s specifications. Increased range and increased accuracy are the points that Lobaev Arms has been doing very well on SVLK-14S compared to USA M300. A special feature is that the design of the SVLK-14S is quite simple compared to a modern sniper rifle model, Except that the components that make it up are made of aircraft-grade alloy, the gun is quite light compared to its size. The biggest difference of the SVLK-14S sniper rifle with other sniper rifles is that it uses standard ammunition .408 Cheyenne Tactical (10.36×77mm) or separate .338LM for sniper rifles, Lobaev Arms said that using these calibers will make the gun more stable than using 12.7mm bullets and have a longer range than 7.62mm bullets of both Russia and NATO. In order to increase accuracy, the SVLK-14S does not use a magazine, but fires each bullet with a manual loading mechanism that loads by pulling the reloading shuttle. With fewer parts, the accuracy of the gun increases. SVLK-14S has an overall length of 1,430mm, a wheelbase of 900mm and a width of 96mm, the maximum weight of the gun is 9.6kg excluding scopes or extended shooting aids. Right on the body of the gun in the SVLK-14S barrel cluster, there is a built-in pincatinny rail that allows quick replacement of sights. The SVLK-14S usually uses the IOR Valdada 5.8-40×56 optical sight, allowing the gunner to shoot effectively at ranges from 500 meters to 2,000 meters, The maximum range of the SVLK-14S in the test can reach a range of more than 4,000 meters, the manufacturer says that the SVLK-14S gun can destroy targets at a distance of 3,000 meters. The muzzle velocity of the SVLK-14S is up to 900m/s with extremely low deviation at a range of 1,500m or less. The SVLK-14S is more about stability in each shot than fast rate of fire, and its extremely long range also helps protect the gunner from enemies. SVLK-14S can operate in environments from -45 degrees Celsius to 65 degrees Celsius. Due to the mechanism to fire each bullet, the average rate of fire of the SVLK-14S is about 6 rounds per minute for a professional gunner. SVLK-14S with natural black carbon fiber body and barrel made of aluminum alloy. The cost of each SVLK-14S on the market is estimated at more than $ 34,000 excluding the IOR Valdada viewfinder.

According to experts, Kazan is a fully domestically built submarine and is superior to foreign nuclear-powered ships in terms of technical characteristics. In the future, submarines can receive the modern Zircon hypersonic missile complex. Technically completely new project In recent years, the Kazan nuclear submarine has passed tests in the White Sea, and achieved the published technical indicators. In particular, the crew conducted submarine warfare tests at positions on the water surface and underwater, measured technical parameters, in which the noise level when moving underwater and the attack weapon system. . The Kazan nuclear submarine officially entered service with the Russian Navy. The Kazan nuclear submarine was built in 2009, but the time of delivery to the Russian Navy has been delayed several times. In response to RT.ru, Editor-in-Chief of the Defense Journal Igor Korotchenko explained that the delay was due to the need to test a large number of new technical solutions integrated into the project 885M nuclear submarine. According to experts, the construction and testing of a lead submarine of an improved or new project is always a long process and goes through many complicated stages. In addition, for the domestic shipbuilding industry and the Russian Ministry of Defense, the improvement of nuclear-powered submarines is to a state that allows the performance of effective combat missions on a large scale of the oceans. Positive is an urgent priority today. Meanwhile, the founder of the Russian military information site Dmitry Kornev said that delaying the commissioning of the Kazan submarine is completely reasonable. He explained the difficulties caused by a large amount of research and development work, along with the establishment of a large-scale industrial co-production system. “The Yasen-class nuclear submarine is a completely new and technically challenging project for our industry. The real partnership mechanism was created from the very beginning, with hundreds of businesses from many different industries. It took a lot of time to find contractors and fine-tune the delivery mechanism. Russia has also abandoned the use of imported components,” said expert Kornev. 4th generation nuclear submarine Kazan is a lead nuclear submarine of the fourth generation of project 885M (Yasen class), developed by the Malakhit Marine Design Bureau (Saint Petersburg). The construction of this nuclear submarine is carried out at the facilities of JSC PO Sevmash (Severodvinsk). The Kazan Multi-Purpose Nuclear Submarine is designed to destroy enemy surface ships, submarines, transport vehicles and ground targets. The submarine is equipped with eight vertical launch tubes, salvo-type launchers for Kalibr and Onyx high-precision cruise missiles, with ranges of up to 1,500 and 300 km. The Kazan nuclear submarine was developed by the Malakhit Marine Design Bureau. According to the developer, these weapons can engage highly protected, grouped targets, including those equipped with anti-missile defense systems. In addition, the attack weapon of the project 885/885M nuclear submarine is also equipped with 30 533 mm caliber torpedoes. The main operational characteristics of the Kazan and Yasen-class ships have not yet been revealed. However, according to experts, this modernized nuclear submarine is similar to the Project 885 Severodvinsk submarine, which entered service with the Northern Fleet in June 2014 in weight, size, and weapons. work, construction characteristics and speed. Analysts say the difference is mainly related to onboard equipment, including electronics and sonar equipment. The length of the Yasen-class submarine is about 139 m, the width is about 13 m, the draft is 10 m, the displacement is about 8,600 tons, underwater up to 13,800 tons. The ship is capable of independent operation for 100 days. The multi-purpose submarine can dive to a depth of 600 m and reach a speed of 57.4 km / h underwater. According to a report by the Malakhit Maritime Design Bureau, this project 885 nuclear submarine has a mixed architecture and structure with a sturdy double-hull structure, made of high-strength steel. Expert Dmitry Kornev explained that the engineers of the Malakhit Marine Design Bureau considered a two-hull scheme for the production of nuclear submarines. The two-body scheme is resistant to mechanical damage, but is more expensive and has a relatively high noise level. Accordingly, a reasonable solution was found at Yasen when the two hulls together covered the bow of the submarine and the structural elements near the launch pad, i.e. the parts that bear the greatest load. The hull of project 885/885M is divided by strong bulkheads into 8 compartments, including: main bridge, torpedo compartment, living quarters, electromechanical, missile, reactor, turbine and auxiliary compartment. aid. “To create optimal conditions for the operation of the hydroacoustic complex, the torpedo tubes were removed from the bow and placed at an angle to the center plane. A large diameter GAK (hydroacoustic complex) spherical antenna is located at the end of the bow,” the Malakhit Maritime Design Bureau report states. The quality of the sonar equipment plays an extremely important role in the performance of the assigned tasks of nuclear submarines in the vast range of the ocean. Yesen submarine hydroacoustic complex system is used to detect enemies, classify targets, find interference direction, measure ice thickness, detect mines and torpedoes, search for ice holes to fly up and launch. safe rocket. Also according to the developer, the main power unit of the project 885/885M nuclear submarines belongs to the new generation. It consists of a pressurized water reactor and a modular single-shaft steam turbine unit, with various mechanisms and redundancies, capable of reducing the acoustic parameters of the submarine. Another technical innovation in Yasen-class submarines is a rescue chamber designed to evacuate the entire crew. This equipment is improved by domestic experts, taking into account the experience of domestic and foreign submarine accidents and incidents. The main nuclear submarine of the Russian Navy According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the project 885M submarines “will become an important part of the offensive power” of the Russian Navy and will be able to effectively operate as part of a strike group at any distance. any way compared to the base points. The crew of the project 885M Kazan nuclear submarine. Photo: Russian Ministry of Defense. “In the Yasen-M class nuclear submarine project, a number of technical solutions were used that were not previously used in domestic submarine construction. The basic components of the electronic weapon complexes, modernized equipment and rescue systems are exclusively Russian products,” the Russian military agency said. In the immediate future, the nuclear-powered submarines of Project 885M will become the main multi-purpose nuclear submarine of the Russian Navy. Currently, seven such submarines are under construction, including Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Arkhangelsk, Perm, Ulyanovsk, Voronezh and Vladivostok. Experts expect that the construction and testing of these submarines will not take much time, as the verification of technical solutions and the building of cooperative relationships have been successfully completed during construction. Kazan nuclear submarine. “The official transfer of Kazan to the navy allows us to conclude that the main difficulties for the implementation of the plans for the Yasen-M project have been overcome. This is a modern, fully Russian nuclear submarine. It is superior to all existing nuclear submarines abroad in terms of overall capabilities”, emphasized expert Kornev. This expert believes that putting project 885M submarines into service will significantly improve the combat capabilities of the Russian Navy. Accordingly, in the future the Yasen-M nuclear submarine will receive Zircon hypersonic missiles in its arsenal. Currently, this weapon is still being tested. Expert Igor Korotchenko said that the appearance of nuclear-powered ships of project 885M will increase the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Russian Navy. Yasen-class submarines will significantly strengthen the position of the Russian Navy, allowing a more efficient and high-quality implementation of the assigned tasks. “With the introduction of new nuclear submarines, the Russian Navy will receive a significant increase in submarine nuclear deterrence,” concluded Korotchenko.

“Enchanted Dolls” is the name of a collection of dolls by Russian artist Marina Bychkova. She has hand-made dolls with distinct beauty. Marina Bychkova’s dolls are meticulously made from makeup, to elaborate costumes studded with expensive gems. These dolls exude a fragile and seductive beauty, different from the usual doll lines on the market. The idea of ​​​​making her own dolls was cherished by Marina since she was just a 6-year-old girl: “As a child, I felt mass-produced dolls were trivial and boring.” It was not until the age of 24, after three years of hard work at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, that Marina Bychkova decided to choose dolls as her career. “Enchanted Doll” is a title based on a short story by writer Paul Gallico. The dolls are meticulously crafted using high-quality materials, such as porcelain, gold, silver, and even Swarovski crystals. The fragile and attractive beauty of the dolls makes others unable to take their eyes off them. Extremely fine jewelry. Let’s admire the beauty of these beautiful magic dolls.

Bun rieu – an indispensable dish for Hanoians. (Photo: Internet) In the heart of the old town, people still hear about a vermicelli shop located at the beginning of a small alley with a very strange name: “hate vermicelli”. In fact, the shop still has a very carefully stamped signboard over the decades “Yen – special bun ziu burden – welcome”. But because the shop is located next to a small relic, there is a stele “Ingrained hatred”, so people who are used to eating here call it “bun ziu hate” as a way to distinguish it from other noodle shops. What makes this special name is because this shop is located next to the monument of the stele “Engraved with hatred”. (Photo: Internet) Called a shop, but in fact, this is just a small vermicelli with a pot of broth, a few utensils and ingredients for making vermicelli. When guests arrive, they arrange plastic chairs to sit, using higher plastic chairs to make a table to place a bowl of vermicelli. Photo: Internet Bun rieu here still only includes familiar ingredients such as crab, fish cakes, beans… Each bowl of vermicelli noodles costs only 20,000 VND. Besides, this “hate” vermicelli restaurant also sells snail vermicelli, beef vermicelli (with beef) for 30,000 VND, and if anyone wants to eat a full bowl, it will cost 40,000 VND. Photo: Internet Photo: Internet Photo: Internet The bowl of vermicelli noodles is always full, eating one bowl is full. Even the owner is very enthusiastic and welcoming to customers. Students who come here to eat also get a discount, typically a full bowl is reduced to 10,000 VND, only 30,000 VND/bowl. “Vun ziu hates” every bowl is full, both crabs and vermicelli. Add some raw vegetables and chili peppers and it’s delicious. Customers usually don’t come in droves for a while, but from one turn to another, from early morning until noon, there are almost always people coming. Every day, the shop is usually open from 7 a.m. until early afternoon to clear the goods. If it’s late, clean up late, leave early.

Illustration. The hack brought down the pipeline, now in its sixth day, and led to panic buying and gas shortages in the Southeastern United States. Colonial said it began reopening its pipeline late Wednesday afternoon, a process that could take days, but declined to comment on the ransom issue. Colonial is working closely with law enforcement, the Department of Energy, and US cybersecurity company FireEye to minimize damage and restore operations. Colonial and government responses to the breach are being closely watched following one of the most direct hacking attacks on US critical infrastructure after years of warnings. Ransomware attacks have increased in number and ransom prices, with hackers encrypting data and seeking cryptocurrency payments to unlock. Investigators in the Colonial case say the malware was distributed by a gang known as DarkSide, which consisted of Russian-speaking people and evaded attack targets in the former Soviet Union. DarkSide previously said that it has no intention of meddling in geopolitics and will be more careful about its affiliates going forward. On Wednesday, the group said on its website that it was “dropping” data from three other victims, including a technology company in Chicago. Officials have so far found no significant connection to the Russian government, concluding instead that the pipeline company that supplies 45% of the US East Coast’s oil was crippled by the attack. ransomware. DarkSide allows “affiliates” to infiltrate targets in different places, then handle ransom negotiation and data release. Two people involved in the Colonial investigation said the man linked in this case was a Russian criminal with no special ties to the government.

Dream of the sky The daughter of a tsarist general, Lydia Zvereva was obsessed with planes from an early age. She read a lot of books about aviation, took complex mechanical toys to pieces, and talked for hours about hot air balloons and airplanes. She even performed “test flights” by jumping from the roof of the storage shed to the ground. “Ever since I was a little girl, I was very interested in the hot air balloons at Osowiec Fortress, so I built models. At that time in Russia no one could fly, and in the press only occasionally began to appear the first information about the achievements of foreign manufacturers,” recalls Lidya Zvereva. Russia’s first female pilot Lydia Zvereva on the plane “Farman-4”. Photo: Karl Bulla/russiainphoto.ru What worries Lydia is certainly not that the early twentieth century aviation industry is still in its infancy, but that flights are very dangerous to life. Flimsy, unreliable planes are prone to capsizing and breaking the wind, claiming the lives of dozens of pilots around the world every year. However, Lydia Zvereva enrolled in the private aviation school “Gamayun” near Saint Petersburg. The local newspaper wrote about the first woman who wanted to learn to be a pilot, calling her “Miss Z” because she wanted to respect her private life. “Lydia Zvereva flew without hesitation and very decisively. I remember everyone paying attention to her masterful flights, including the very high ones. Because at that time, not everyone dared to take the risk of flying to such a high altitude,” said her classmate Konstantin Artseulov. There were a few times when Lydia Zvereva had a serious accident, but always luckily only minor scratches. On August 23, 1911, after passing all the necessary exams, the 21-year-old “Miss Z” was granted a pilot’s license, becoming the first female pilot of the Russian Empire. Talented Aircraft Builder In 1912, Lydia Zvereva, along with her husband, pilot Vladimir Slyusarenko, practiced aerobatics. They attended Aviation Week in Baku, performed in Tiflis (now Tbilisi, Georgia), where female pilots performed flights in difficult weather conditions. The trip to Riga almost became Lydia Zvereva’s last. While flying, the wind started to pick up and threw her “Farman” plane into the stands. She tried to fly up, but she was thrown into the stronger wind, and her plane was eventually overturned. When she fell to the ground, the female pilot was thrown forward and was crushed by aircraft debris. Not long after, in one of her letters, she wrote: “When the plane went down, I almost broke my leg. It still hurts to this day. My lung condition is very bad. The doctor told me not to go anymore, but I still wanted to fly. They warn, if you do not obey, you will get tuberculosis. Indeed, that is the fate of the pilot profession!”. Lydia Zvereva with the first Russian-made aircraft “Kudashev-1”. Documentary photo Despite the accident, perhaps thanks to that, Lydia’s performances were so successful. She and her husband were invited to stay in Riga and they happily accepted. This large city on the Baltic coast was at that time the center of the Russian aviation industry. Here they built the first aircraft engines in the country. In 1913, she and her husband opened their pilot school in Riga with the lowest tuition fees in the country. In addition, they also organized aircraft repair and design classes, at which time Lydia Zvereva was an aircraft builder who upgraded aircraft manufactured in Western countries. This particular woman was invited to work in Austria-Hungary, but she decided to stay in her homeland. Female pilot with no number Teaching and crafting did not make Lydia Zvereva more cautious. This first Russian female pilot is still actively flying as before, even though it is very dangerous to her life. She even had the courage to participate in the “death” twist when sitting on the plane. That flight took place on May 19, 1914 in a monoplane “Moran” piloted by experienced male pilot Evgeny Shpitsberg. The newspaper “Riga Messenger” wrote: “The “Moran” quickly soared into the air. 500, 600 then 700 meters. At an altitude of 800 meters, the plane suddenly stopped in the air and then dived. Almost simultaneously, the spectators gathered below all fled. But after a few seconds, there was a rumble of the engine, the plane soared high and then took a sharp turn. The crowd held their breath with applause. After a while, the plane flew along a beautiful spiral and then landed in the grandstand area. “Hooray! Hooray!” – everyone chanted.” Lydia Zvereva’s admirer is the male pilot Pyotr Nesterov, the first person in the world to perform this complex flight. At the outbreak of World War I, the couple’s pilot school was evacuated to the city of Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg). In fact, this school has become a manufacturing workshop, where 300 employees carry out orders from the Ministry of Defense. Fate did not allow Lydia Zvereva to live until the end of World War I. Many times she escaped death while flying, but she died of typhoid on June 16, 1916 at the age of 26. The female pilot’s friends and students saw her off to her final resting place by flying around in “Farmans” over Alexander Nevsky Monastery in Petrograd.

AK-130 gunboat on Russian battleships. Photo: Internet Although born in the Soviet Union, but up to now, the AK-130 gunboat system is still a fearsome weapon with any target at sea in range. Specifically, according to expert Maya Carlin on National Interest, it is the ability to complete many tasks and high stability that the Russian Navy still believes in using the AK-130 gunboat on large warships despite the weapons. This weighs up to 100 tons. Although the development time of the AK-130 has been lengthened for a variety of reasons, this weapon has proven to be a highly efficient weapon with a rate of fire of more than 60 rounds per minute. It is known that the Soviet Navy began to have plans to own large caliber automatic cannons from the years of World War II. Artillery soldiers of the Soviet Armed Forces said that the existing cannons with caliber from 100-130mm with slow firing speed limited their ability to attack aerial targets. Therefore, in the period 1952-1955, the Soviet Union developed a number of prototype automatic cannon loaded ammunition. Automatic guns were planned for development and service in the Navy as part of the shipbuilding program for the period 1956-1965, but the plan was later abandoned. Technical blueprints bearing the plant designation ZIF-92 appeared in 1969. It was a single caliber 130mm cannon. Many of the features of the ZIF-92 gun were later applied to the AK-130 gunboat. The ZIF-92 prototype featured new, but not without deficiencies. Soviet experts planned to mount ZIF-92 on the patrol boat of Project 1135 Burevestnik. However, the ZIF-92 proved too heavy for ships of this type and forced to stay on the shelf. The Soviet Navy was finally delivered with a double-barreled gunboat in 1985. The gun was named AK-130 and was installed on the Project 956 Sovremeny destroyer. The AK-130 was developed in 1976 in the Arsenal design room named MV Frunze. With the 2-barrel design was really necessary for the gunboat because 1 barrel could not guarantee a firing efficiency of 60 rounds / min. With 2 barrels, the AK-130 cannon can fire 80 rounds / minute (each barrel shoots 40 rounds). Each bullet weighs 33kg. The AK-130’s maximum range when attacking sea and ground targets is 23km.

Turkey’s “Anka” drone (Image: wikimedia) The new attack drone (UAV, drone-ND) “Simsek” (“Lightning”) was introduced to the public by Turkish Aerospace company of Turkey this week. Unlike another UAV which is currently very famous in Turkey, “Bauyraktar”, UAV “Lightning” is a drone – kamikaze (UAV suicide, UAV is also known as flying bullets. wait-ND) – it plunges into the target and detonates the warhead. UAV- kamikaze Simsek Turkey At first glance, this is not something too new – “Simsek” is not the first type of bullets waiting to fly. The Israelis and the Americans have accumulated a lot of valuable experience in this field. Yes, and Russia already has some such design. But nevertheless, the uniqueness of the Turkish “Lightning” is that it was brought to the launch point by another drone with a larger engine power – that is, the “Anka” UAV, which also came to the fore. Turkish company aforementioned design. UAV “Anka” – a version similar to “Predator” USA and also has a useful payload of 200 kg. It has two hangers under the wings, and therefore, is capable of carrying two Simsek-kamikaze UAVs within a range of about 500 km. And as a result, it greatly increased the range of the offensive weapon (ie UAV “Simsek”). And also so that there is no need to use a manned air force to perform the same mission. To create “Simsek”, the Turks took 12 years. This project has been in operation since 2009. But in the early days, the Turks had no intention of building “Simsek” into UAV-kamikaze, but rather to build a type of high-speed aerial target to test the air defense systems, as well as for testing of “air-to-air” class cruise missiles launched from fighter aircraft. And also do not understand why the Tho kept silent during the project to build this suicide drone. Until the end of last April, General Director of Turkish Aerospace (Turkish Airlines – Aerospace) Temel Kotil recently revealed some details about the project in an interview with CNN Turk. Mr. Kotil said that the combat head weight of “Simsek” is 5 kg. The flight distance after launching from “Anka” is 100-200 km. This UAV is equipped with a jet turbine engine, so it is quite high speed. In addition, the Turkish Aerospace’s General Manager also added that it is highly maneuverable. However, I really don’t understand what this UAV model needs to be maneuverable for. Mr. Kotil did not disclose how to control the drone. He spoke briefly about: a) it is fully autonomous and b) capable of being directed to the target in direct line of sight, either from a drone or from an operator. underground. “Simsek” is capable of destroying fixed targets on the ground. From the aforementioned “a” point, we can see that the navigation for this type of projectile is carried out by GPS signals. Therefore, the most effective method to “treat” the UAV “Simsek” is to suppress satellite positioning signals with electronic warfare systems. From point “b”, it can be concluded that navigation can be done by radio command, or by laser beam. To do this, the appropriate equipment must be installed on the UAVs. And there is another very important issue. The maximum distance from the target to the launch point of the UAV-carrier is 700 km (500 km for “Anka” + 200 km for “Simsek”). In order to connect these two drones when selecting a target and choosing to attack the target, it is necessary to have a control officer at the UAV launch site – the vehicle carrying “Anka”. And so, need a high-speed satellite communication channel. Many experts believe that after a while “Simsek” Turkey will “learn” how to attack mobile targets on the ground. However, to do that, it will either have to be equipped with a self-conducting terminal – either infrared or active radar, or be able to exchange information through a reliable data transmission channel. to control the flight path. It is reported that Turkish Aerospace will produce up to one hundred “Simsek” drones per year. At this point, it must be said that Russia was ahead of Turkey in making flying ammo. But, unfortunately, up to now this is only one step ahead in terms of fabrication timelines. The two drones – kamikaze of the Zala Aero company of the “Kalashnikov” group have successfully passed the “brides face view at the Syrian shooting range”. These were UAVs “Kub” and UAVs “Lancet”. These two types of UAVs were built with a gap of nearly 2 years. However, in terms of strength, they are more modest than the “Turks”. The combat head weight of “Kub” – 3 kg. Of “Lancet-1” – 1 kg. And “Lancet-3” – up to 3 kilograms. And they are launched by traditional methods – with catapults. The shorter operating distance (Simsek) is considerable – only 30 km to 40 km. Speed ​​- from 80 to 130 km / h. Flight time is 30 minutes. But in return, the Russian works to realize on the UAVs on other features, also extremely important, a much more skillful way. All three of the aforementioned Russian drones are quite similar, only “Lancet-1” is slightly different – it has a smaller size and weight, only 5 kg. On all three UAVs there is a television camera – it is used by an officer on the ground to guide the UAV to a target. As a result, the maximum error when attacking their target did not exceed 2 meters. The mean error is even less. The image from the camera is transmitted via the anti-noise channel to the ground control point, and from this control point, the UAV is directed to the target. In addition, the Russian drone – kamikaze is able to operate independently, without the involvement of an operator – it flies to the target according to coordinates that have been pre-installed in memory. And this type of waiting-flying ammunition made by the Russian company Zala Aero also has a very “top notch” feature – that is the ability to stealth. It is completely understandable that they are made of composite materials, – an almost imperative requirement today. But at the same time, “Kub” ‘s body was shaped like a bird. And it moves in the air like a bird, except without flapping its wings. But there is a special mode that simulates the flight path of the birds. The “Lancet” has a more complex aerodynamic configuration – a vertically double fuselage with two pairs of X-shaped wings. At the same time, according to the design engineers, the drone is nearly “flying in silence. ”(Make no noise). They have different flight patterns. Can fly to the target at an altitude of 3-4 meters, and follow the terrain folds. They can also attack targets from a height of 4.5 km. This method is used when attacking a tank in the least protected top view. Unlike Turkish kamikaze, Russian drones are capable of attacking mobile targets. In addition, the designers “Kub” and “Lancet” asserted that such a stand-by bullet attack would be much cheaper than using a self-propelled howitzer. Therefore, there is a bright prospect for large-scale production of kamikaze drones to use them for mass attacks on enemy battlefields. The “ZALA Lancet” suicide drone of the “Kalashnikov” Group (Photo: Marina Lystseva / TASS) With such a spirit, it is advisable to pay attention to a comment of the US newspaper Washington Post – a newspaper with very “enthusiastic” responses to the drones – kamikaze of the Russian “Kalashnikov” Group. on display at the IDEX-2019 international weapons exhibition. This American newspaper suddenly announced that this was truly a revolution in the world of weapons, and the Russian drones presented at the show were, in fact, “a rifle. attack the modern Kalashnikov (AK) “. The strange thing is that both the US and Israel have suicide drones, at least not worse than Russian suicide drones. However, the Americans were convinced by the low cost and simplicity of use of the Russian “Kalashnikov” product. Knowing how, we won’t argue with them on this topic.

The design of a patrol boat capable of diving under water in the Sentinel project. Photo: TASS This is an affordable submarine for countries with a modest defense budget. The new ship combines the features and advantages of submarines with surface patrol boats. This export-specific project, is expected to attract the attention of smaller countries looking to upgrade their fleets. The purpose of the project “BOSS” In mid-April 2021, the Rubin Central Marine Technical Design Bureau unveiled a new project. The agency provided background information on the project to build a special patrol boat, its progress and expected results. Along with that, is a three-dimensional image of a patrol ship with submarine features. The project dedicated to export is called “Sentinel” in Russian, and the English name is “BOSS (short for Border and Offshore Submersible Sentry). The Sentinel will most likely be marketed on the national market as “BOSS”. The cost of modern patrol boats is relatively low, making them suitable for countries with small budgets, project developers note. The aim of these ships is to prevent poaching and illegal fishing. In addition, they can also be used as security ships, lifeboats or for research purposes. Viktor Murahovsk – editor-in-chief of Homeland Arsenal magazine said: “The Sentinel project proposes building a ship capable of operating both above and below the water. When operating on water, it can patrol, identify and arrest offenders. When operating under water, it will secretly spy on intruders, scout and avoid bad weather while on mission. According to Viktor Murahovsky, the first version of the patrol diving boat will have the above characteristics, in the future they will be modified to meet the needs of foreign customers. Technical characteristics Officially released photos show that this ship takes the form of a submarine but has some properties that are not typical of those operating under water. The Sentinel has a rather long hull with a flat deck, on deck there is a cockpit with a limited size. In the bow is equipped with hydrophonic complex antenna. The ship has a conical control tower with horizontal rudders. At the stern, there was a compartment for the motorboats of the patrol teams. According to published information, in terms of architecture and size, the ship resembles the project 613 diesel-electric submarines built in the 1950s. It is the largest project in the history of the Russian Navy and is foreign customers are very popular. Depending on configuration, the Sentinel patrol boat will be 60 to 70 meters in length, displacing about 1,000 tons. The full details of the ship’s special systems and equipment are not yet clear. However, this patrol ship is believed to be able to carry weapons such as torpedoes, missile systems, and small caliber artillery platforms. To perform patrol and surveillance tasks, the ship will be equipped with unmanned aircraft (UAV) capable of flying for many hours continuously and canoe. A crew of 42 people, including a patrol team, is responsible for handling violators. Advantage over foreign competitors Expert Viktor Murahovsk said: “The development of the Sentinel project is aimed at meeting the current needs of the international market. Many countries are paying special attention to patrol boats. Thanks to this project, the Russian defense industry can gain a new position in the international market ”. To win against foreign competitors, the new patrol ship must have certain advantages, outperforming its competitors. One of the Sentinel’s advantages is to abandon the traditional form of a surface ship to a combination of a patrol boat and a submarine. “With the basic functionality of surface ships, the Sentinel can patrol and arrest violators just like other patrol boats. In addition, due to its built-in weaponry, it can provide the necessary combat capabilities, meeting the requirements for surface ships. On the other hand, diving will help the ship be stealthy and perform missions below the water, as well as provide other advantages, ”concluded Viktor Murahovsk. Most importantly, the Sentinel is not a specialized train, but a multi-purpose ship. Its equipment and weapons will be determined by the customer, depending on their needs. In the Sentinel project there are both simply minimally equipped patrol boats and state-of-the-art “powerful hunters” capable of destroying underwater and surface targets. Flexibility in using this vessel type can be an important competitive advantage.

The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled gun developed in 2011 first appeared in 2015, it is expected that this advanced weapon will soon be in service in the Russian army. Although not yet in service, the top features of the Russian 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled gun have made the West fidgety. One of the top features of the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV Russian self-propelled gun is its ability to fire with almost absolute precision. Tests showed the amazing accuracy of this self-propelled gun. Many experts also believe that the accuracy of the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV cannon is as scary as the sniper rifle. Compared with previous self-propelled artillery systems, the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV gun is a real revolution in Russia. The turret was built with chamfered edges to reduce radar signal response. The ability to fire is far from peak when the cannon can fire from a distance of 70km to the target. In addition, the cannon can shoot both normal ammunition and anti-tank missiles. The cannon uses a fully automatic ammunition system. The US and its allies were forced to find ways to upgrade their self-propelled guns to counterbalance this latest Russian product. It is known that the automatic control system of the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV cannon allows the commander to choose the type of ammunition to be used for the next shot or replace the bullets already on the barrel with a different type of ammunition to suit each item. pepper. 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV also has the ability to hit a target simultaneously with multiple bullets with different flight trajectories. With this concentration of firepower, the target can be destroyed quickly. The outstanding long range also allows these self-propelled guns to be deployed in the back line, away from the front lines, avoiding enemy counter-attacks. The electronic system of the 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV cannon is very modern, allowing members in the vehicle to share information about the target, projectile through a computer system with specialized processing software. In particular, the cannon can fire 9K25 Krasnopol – new generation laser guided shells. Secondary weaponry included a 12.7 mm machine gun at the top of the turret. The 2S35’s unique point compared to modern howitzers in the world is the use of a remote controlled turret. The control compartment is separate from the turret, ensuring more safety for the crew to operate. The turret can hold more shells, contributing to increased combat performance. The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled gun once joined the Russian army will significantly improve its firepower.

Uran-9 combat robot is 5.12m long, 2.53m wide, 2.5m high, with a total combat weight of 12 tons, is the most typical heavy fighting robot among many ground combat robots of the Russian army . Russian Uran-9 combat robot. Source: people.com.cn. The robot is equipped with various sensor modules including laser sensor, photoelectric sensor and thermal image sensor. It is capable of automatic target recognition and tracking. It can detect and track targets to a range of 3,000 meters and maneuver in either remote or automatic mode. The maximum road maneuver speed is 35 km / h and the continuous combat time is 6 hours. The robot is equipped with 1 30mm 2A72 cannon, 4 9M120 Ataka anti-tank guided missile launchers, or 6 RPO Shmel 93mm thermo-missile launchers and 1 PKT / PKTM machine gun. At the same time, the robot can also carry 9K38 surface-to-air missiles, 9K333 mobile air defense missiles and 9M133M anti-tank missiles depending on mission requirements. It can be said that robots can create “fatal” attacks against armored targets, low-range targets and infantry forces. Looking at the development and application of weapons and smart equipment of the Russian Army, it can be seen that Russia has embarked on a path of developing military equipment integrating artificial intelligence different from the West. . Especially from the development and application of the Uran-9 combat robot, three characteristics can be seen in the intelligent military development of the Russian Army. The first is to focus on the real warfare of smart technology. Compared with the West’s search for advanced intelligent technologies, the Russian Army places more emphasis on improving its practical combat capabilities. For example, the Uran-9 combat robot is strong enough to take on an armored infantry team. Heavy armored vehicles can cope with attacks from general infantry weapons and crawler chassis can adapt to complex terrain such as hills and mountains. Especially in the actual combat test in Syria, the Uran-9 combat robot has shown a high level of attack, defense and maneuverability, which can meet the actual combat needs of the ground forces. Russian troops in such missions as fire suppression, fire suppression and infiltration of enemy front lines. In general, the results achieved by the Uran-9 combat robot are due to a design philosophy that meets the practical combat needs. Second, improve the level of intelligence based on the advantages of motorized equipment. The Russian military has always had a strongly mechanized armed force, but its intelligence still has a certain distance from the West. To quickly close this gap, the Russian Army has chosen to push the development of intelligent military equipment in the direction of modularization. The Uranus-9 combat robot’s armor, weapons and chassis are the products of the era of mechanization, while sensors, fire control systems and automated algorithms are products of the age of intelligence. . Through the combination of these two methods, Russian combat robots can quickly adapt to the battlefield in the future. Based on this method of combining traditional equipment with this advanced technology, the Russian military is developing smarter weapons and equipment. Third, to address the shortcomings of conventional forces to develop intelligent weapons and equipment. Under Western containment, it was difficult for the Russian Army to develop conventional weapons and equipment on a large scale and expand its military might. In the face of NATO’s increasingly intense military pressure, Russia needed to compensate for the shortcomings of conventional military might in a manner consistent with its economic requirements. In terms of military might, the newly formed Uran-9 combat robot unit can be said to fulfill this requirement completely. Compared to the involvement of an armored infantry army, the military costs and the risk of the robot unit’s casualties are much lower on the battlefield, which is one of the key reasons why the Russian Army plans to increase. The proportion of unmanned weapons and equipment in the military by 2025 is 30%.

Mountain lions are known to be the top predator in the wild. Photo: Instagram According to Oddity Central (UK), Messi is a 3-year-old leopard, the second largest leopard in the Americas, after the American jaguar. In the wild, it is considered the top predator, but being born in a pet garden, Messi has spent most of his life living as a domestic cat. To the Dmitriev couple, Messi is just a giant cat in their family. Although Dmitriev is well aware of Messi as a predator, at a certain point it will “test” their power to see who has control in the house, but both husband and wife have done. necessary to restrain Messi’s wild nature. Aleksandr and Maria, both psychologists. They love cats, but never thought they would live in a house with a mountain lion. The hairless Sphynx was inherently enough for them. However, in 2018, when they heard that a newborn lion leopard at the local zoo was in need of medical attention, the two decided to adopt it. They believe that in the zoo, the animals will have to live in small stables, leaving visitors to visit and pet them. So they decided to give this “pet cat” a better chance of living. Mario with pet lion Messi Photo: Instagram The young couple knew that if the baby lion was not rescued, it might die, but they also knew that the zoo would not easily hand Messi over to them. So, Aleksandr and Maria decided to pay for Messi and were surprised that the zoo agreed to sell it. The couple brought Messi home to take care of. At the same time, they also have to renovate and adjust around the house to prepare for raising a lion. Most of the time Messi works like a cat. However, its oversized size does have some disadvantages to it. Alekskandr and Maria have repaired the hallway to a residence for Messi, lined the walls with bamboo panels to withstand the lion’s scratches and facilitate replacement. They also erected a large trunk for Messi to climb, adding a small hiding place for it below. But it seems that Messi likes to sit in front of the bathroom window, from here he can see the endless meadow outside the apartment building. Photo: Instagram Mountain lions are raised as pets. Photo: Instagram Aleksandr and Maria quickly realized that they needed to find a way to retain Messi if they wanted to live in harmony with the animal. However, training mountain lions is not something they can do. The couple Dmitriev sent him to the pet training class. The results are impressive as now Messi can hear a simple fate like “sit”, “stay”, “come” and “no”, even take him for a walk. Training was important for Messi, but the Dmitriev couple’s apartment didn’t have a lot of space for it and they couldn’t drop it in the park near their home either. So it was trained to go for walks with the owner. The locals also no longer feel too scared if they see a man walking a large mountain lion. The life of the couple and lion Messi is still going smoothly so far. However, they both admit that living with a lion can be challenging as well. They cannot go on vacation or hang out with friends. They also could not find someone to look after the lion. The cost of raw meat to feed Messi is also up to 600 USD (13.8 million VND) / month. Photo: Instagram Dmitriev and his wife live in harmony with the lion. Photo: Instagram Aleksandr and Maria have set a goal to make a lot of money to move to a more spacious apartment, giving Messi some private space. If they achieve this goal, they plan to raise another big cat, possibly a cheetah for Messi to have friends. Through the newly updated photos on their personal page, it seems that they have achieved their aspirations. The couple has moved into a new home and Messi also has a friend who is a leopard. Now that Messi has become a phenomenon on social networks, the family’s Instagram account has 1.5 million followers, while YouTube has 1.8 million.

Office tree frog Rhacophorus vanbanicus in the wild. The Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology said that the Institute’s scientists, in collaboration with Russian and German scientists, have discovered and described three new species of tree frog in Lao Cai and Ha Giang. Based on analysis of morphology, molecular genetics and bio-sound, a team of researchers from the Vietnam Museum of Nature, Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and Researchers from the Serbian Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences and the scientists of Cologne Zoo, Germany have discovered and described three new species of tree frogs including Rhacophorus vanbanicus, Zhangixalus franki and Zhangixalus jodiae. The table frog species Rhacophorus vanbanicus Kropachev, Orlov, Ninh, and Nguyen, 2019 Named after the standard sampling site in Van Ban district, Lao Cai province, Vietnam at an altitude of 900m, with evergreen forest habitat on high humidity rocky mountains with frequent fog and drizzle. The table frog frog features a brown back with two green stripes on the back from the back of the eye to the groin and forms a green triangle at the top, the underside of the thighs yellow-orange with 5-7 characteristic black nodules. This species is of medium size with an adult male body length of about 34.8 mm, head width less than head length. This finding is published in specialized journals Russian Journal of Herpetology. Zhangixalus jodiae in nature (A & B), and front and hind limbs (C & D). Goat tree frog species Zhangixalus jodiae Nguyen, Ninh, Orlov, Nguyen, and Ziegler, 2020 Named after Dr. Jodi Rowley – The Australian Museum for her outstanding contributions to the study of amphibian classification in Asia. This species was found in Quan Ba ​​district, Ha Giang province. In terms of morphology, the new species has an average body length in the range of 36.1-39.8 mm, the width and length of the head are equivalent, the tip of the snout is round, with the teeth of the cane leaves; front and hind limbs have swimming membranes; blotchy green back, cream-colored armpits with large black spots, groin and anterior-posterior part of thigh with alternating black and orange spots. Genetically, the new species is on the same branch as Z. nigropunctautus, Z. yaoshanensis, Z. pinglongensis and Z. chenfui. Z. jodiae had the closest genetic distance to Z. pinglongensis was 3.57%. Biological tones were recorded at 17.3-20.9 degrees Celsius with each vocal lasting 1.1 seconds and consisted of six notes, each note about 6 milliseconds, the distance between two notes about 15 milliseconds. . The dominant frequency is 2.0kHz. The notes of a voice have variable amplitude, with the last note having the smallest amplitude relative to the other notes. The discovery of this new species of frog was published in the journal Journal of Natural History. Standard specimen of Zhangixalus franki (A & B) and a drawing of anterior and posterior swimming membrane (C). Species Frank tree frog – Zhangixalus franki Ninh, Nguyen, Orlov, Nguyen, and Ziegler, 2020 named after the late German professor, doctor, veterinarian and amphibian conservationist Frank Mutschmann in honor and recognition of his support in amphibian research and conservation projects. residing in Vietnam. The new species can be distinguished from other species in the Zhangixalus genus based on a combination of the following characteristics: large body (from 77.9-85.8 mm in males), a blue dorsal surface with spots small dark brown, with white stripes separating the upper face and lower face of the body, developed parotid glands. This species was found at an altitude of 1,300 m in Quan Ba ​​district, Ha Giang province. The typical habitat is tropical evergreen forest on the mountains. Genetically, the new species in the same branch is most closely related to the Z. duboisi species, the genetic distance between the two species is about 2.51%. Findings about this species were published in the journal European Journal of Taxonomy.

Russia tested the 53T6M interceptor bullet. Missile ammunition participating in the test is determined to be 53T6M currently in service with the Aerospace Force, performing the task of protecting against weapons attacking from the air and from space. The Department of Defense was last informed about tests of new missiles belonging to the anti-missile defense system at the Sary-Shagan arena in November 2020. There have been test launches that took place in October 2020, June and July 2019, February, July, August, December 2018, and November 2017. The 53T6M missile ammunition is an upgraded version of the Russian 53T6 missile ammunition deployed in the A-135 Amur system since the early 1980s. The new missile shell has a two-stage structure, uses solid fuel and is stored in a special storage tube. This type of mechanism allows to reduce the reaction time of the system and the missile can be used immediately in an emergency. According to publicly available information, the 53T6M missile is a part of Russia’s new A-235 Nudol missile defense system. The new 53T6M interceptor missile ammunition is the premise for the A-235 to replace the current A-135 system. Russia is developing and completing components of the A-235 interceptor missile system and ammunition. The difference of the new missile defense system compared to the A-135 Amur is that the components of the complex are placed on a special field vehicle chassis to increase maneuverability. Along with that, the new interceptor missile shell allows Nudol to intercept targets at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere. The A-235 Nudol system is equipped with the powerful Elbrus-3M supercomputer system for information processing. The interception capacity of the A-235 will be divided into three levels: 51T6 missile bullets will undertake the interception at a distance of 1,500 km and an altitude of 800km; missile 58R6 – 1,000km and 120km; Missile bullets 53T6M or 45T6 intercept the target at a distance of 350km and an altitude of 40-50km. All of them have the ability to carry nuclear warheads to enhance the enemy’s ability to destroy intercontinental ballistic missiles. According to military expert Dmitry Kornev, the introduction of the 53T6M missile ammunition by Russia is a completely normal move and does not affect the balance of the strategy. Technically, this is the line of pure weapons for the defense mission and the last line of defense to protect Moscow.

Russian Tsar is good at treating the country, but alcoholism is remembered by people as Peter the Great (1672 – 1725). He is the son of Tsar Aleksei I. This famous Russian czar is known to be an outstanding leader when he travels many places in Western Europe and learns new things and spreads back home. At the same time, Peter the Great conducted economic and political reforms, established the Navy to help Russia become a powerful world power. With a powerful military force, Peter the Great had wars with the Ottoman Empire, Sweden … to expand the territory. In 1725, Peter the Great built Peterhof Summer Palace. This extravagant and splendid building was dubbed “Russia’s Versailles”. In addition to his outstanding leadership and rule of the country, Peter the Great is also known to be the one who prepared for his death early. According to historical records, eight years before his death, the emperor of Russia suffered from kidney or urinary problems. This disease is attributed to Peter the Great’s drinking habit of alcohol. During meals, parties or celebrations, Peter the Great always drank a lot of wine and ate a lot. This habit made his health deteriorate. At the beginning of January 1725, Peter the Great became ill and had a severe fever. However, he was healed by doctors and quickly recovered from the disease. Immediately after his health recovered, he and his subjects continued to eat, drink and party. So, on January 16, Peter the Great’s illness worsened. He has a high fever and a urinary tract infection. A few days later, he had a stroke that resulted in partial paralysis and inability to speak. This is why he cannot choose who will inherit to his throne. On the morning of January 28, Peter the Great died at the Winter Palace in St Petersburg. At that time, he was 52 years old.

However, progress in military science has not stopped, in order to reduce the casualties to soldiers on the battlefield, some countries are experimenting with new forms of combat with the creation and use of systems. automatic robot. In terms of strength, they have the ability to replace a mechanized company. Russia is also not lagging behind the general trend. At present, Russia owns a number of robot combinations of different classes: Platform-M and Nerekhta weigh only 1 ton, Companion weighs 7 tons and finally heavy vehicles remotely controlled. 15 tons of Vikhr, built on the basis of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle. Field tests have shown that the most successful option is the Uran midsize robot program, which aims to shape the appearance of a versatile and inexpensive multi-functional platform that can be easily modified for create final dedicated versions on that basis. Unfortunately, during the mission deployment in Syria, the Uran-9 robot and the Uran-6 revealed many shortcomings, leading to the need for corrections. Until 2019, the only real result of the program was that the Uran-6 remote bomb clearance vehicle was received by the Russian engineer force. The Uran-9 combat robot begins to return to the active part of the Russian Army Then came the modernized Uran-9 infantry escort robot platform, the first version of which was briefly tested in Syria. Today this combat vehicle is equipped with a 30 mm automatic cannon, 4 Ataka anti-tank missiles and six Shmel-M thermo-missile launchers. The Uran-9 robot complex is capable of destroying any armored vehicle at a distance of up to 5 km, as well as handling reconnaissance missions, suppressing enemy laser navigation systems and smoke curtain settings. The Russian army has begun to set up an experienced unit equipped with the aforementioned robot complex. According to the current plan, after the completion of the production of the order and the training of the operator, the handover of the Uran-9 to the combat units will begin. After the above process, it is likely that the Uran-9 robot will return to the Syrian battlefield to re-evaluate the shortcomings that caused it to be “disgraced” that has been completely overcome or not.

According to the developers, the tugboat weighs 80 kg, carrying 16 kg of liquid fuel. The tugboat is designed to pull a number of satellites into different orbits. That is seen as a competitive advantage over missiles without tugs. Russia is ambitious in future tugboat development projects. Russia is popularizing the use of the accelerator decks, in fact the tugboats put satellites in different orbits. On March 22, the Fregat stage used in the Soyuz rocket carried 38 foreign satellites to different orbits. By the end of 2020, Russian media reported that Roskosmos State Space Group would spend 4.2 billion rubles on the development of nuclear space tugs for flights to other planets of the solar system. Accordingly, the state corporation plans to develop a preliminary project on creating a space complex with an energy-transport module based on a nuclear electric motor. Expressing confidence in this program, Mr. Alexander Bloshenko – chief executive officer “Roskosmos” said the nuclear space tugboat will be launched to one of the satellites of Jupiter by 2030.

Pole-21 increasingly asserted its place in the Russian military. (Source: Top War) Shield against potential hazards Pole-21 is resistant to high-precision weaponry and other enemy systems using the satellite navigation system. The mission of this combination is to jam and suppress signals from the navigation satellites. In addition, they can accurately detect the enemy’s coordinates, missiles, bombs, aircraft … and handle other assigned combat missions. The weapons complex consists of R-340RP signal reception poles, including the control equipment and interfering antennas, capable of suppressing radio signals at a minimum range of 25km. The combination is capable of suppressing signals from all current navigation systems. The R-340RP antenna stations are mounted on cell towers that are installed at a suitable height or mounted on car chassis with a basin module. Compatibility with various power sources guaranteed. Each pole consumes up to 600 watts of power. Communication between the composite’s components can be maintained through the radio. Therefore, during the installation process it is possible to use GSM antenna as a backup. Pole-21 can be deployed and installed in large numbers over a large area, depending on topography and topography. In favorable areas, a “dome” consisting of 100 antenna columns allows coverage over 22,500 square kilometers. Distribution of Pole-21 In August 2016, Russian media reported that the Pole-21 system was officially preparing to be put into service for the military. In November 2019, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that Pole-21 had transferred to an electronic warfare unit from the Central Military Zone in charge. Shortly thereafter, in early December 2019, some sources said that the Ministry of Defense continued to deploy the Pole-21 system at base 201 of the armed forces in Tajikistan and operated in alarm mode. In January 2021, the Ministry of Defense announced that by the end of this year, the Central Military Region units would receive 10 additional Pole-21 complexes. These products will be delivered to deployment units in Urals and Siberia. Moreover, Russia also recently officially announced the Pole-21’s presence at the Tartus base in Syria. This system, which works in conjunction with other modern air defense systems, is used to counter potential raids and to prevent potential adversary attacks. In addition, experts from the 49th Army of the Southern Military Region used the Pole-21 combination in training activities. It is known that in the exercise, “Pole-21” mainly confronted the enemy drones. Future protection system The Russian Army Base 201 is the first unit to use this combination. In early January 2020, the system officially worked covering residential areas, armory and locations of important Russian air defense complexes. Through recorded reports, the use of Pole-21 combination in different exercises has brought many positive signals. These products are used independently, or in combination with other electronic warfare systems, completely convenient and effective. In October of last year, Central Military Region troops combined with the “Zhitel” jamming station succeeded in destroying UAV communications. In Tartus, with support from Pole-21, the Ratnik complex. -Kupol suppresses the signals for navigation and control channels. The recent drills in the Southern Military Region demonstrate the Pole-21 system’s capabilities to operate in the reconnaissance and attack lines of the combined armed army. Electronic warfare units act as part of the battalion-level tactical group and protect them from reconnaissance drones. The transfer of the Pole-21M serial electronic warfare system to the military has only started in mid-2019 and was received by subdivisions. It is known that the production and supply of these equipment will continue to develop, of which the Central Military Zone will receive 10 new complexes this year. In the past, the Pole-21 complex has confirmed their ability in trials, as well as their potential in the framework of various scale exercises. In particular its ability to interrupt enemy navigation, interrupt mission execution and ensure the protection of its facilities has been repeatedly demonstrated. It is easy to see that the Pole-21 unit, with all its proven advantages, deserves to be an excellent external signal suppression system, which completes the task perfectly. thanks to its high technical characteristics and mobility. In addition, the principle of preventing satellite positioning is consistent with the current development trends of the military and weapons. (According to Top War)

Russian long-range radar system. “It is known that the lower the frequency range, the greater the penetrability of the waves, so our radar shooting can be done not only through clouds, fog but also under foliage and camouflage vehicles. . Accordingly, if a forest can be optically photographed under ideal conditions, our radar will be able to penetrate the foliage and be able to see any objects in the scanning area. ” Said Ilya Kuzmin, engineer of the Institute of Micro Devices and Control Systems called LN Presnukhina of NRU MIET. With the help of radar, it is possible to generate images not only of the visible surface but also to give its extensive interpretation, determining, for example, the state of soil and vegetation. By attaching the platform to an aircraft or drone, it is possible to capture volcanic eruptions, earthquakes or collapsing buildings. The new radar-controlled aircraft will provide images from which not only can the scale of the disaster be assessed, but also the detailed examination of objects. This development could also serve as the basis for satellite radars and applications in both scientific and military research. In the future, the satellite could carry out radar surveys on large areas of the country and around the world. The new radar can also be useful in agriculture for tracking crop growth, soil conditions and even fruit ripeness. During ice exploration in the Arctic and Antarctic conditions, the radar will determine the thickness of the ice and suggest routes that the icebreaker can take. In addition, the new radar system can help monitor the pipeline and oil pipeline. Radar is not, of course, an instant image projection camera; These are the reflected signals that are digitally recorded on a hard disk and processed by software, explains Ilya Kuzmin. At the same time with the revelation of new radar technology, Russia has also put into service the first unmanned radar system to monitor all flight activities in an area of ​​300,000 km2. General Andrei Koban, Commander of the Radio Technical Force of the Russian Aerospace Forces, said that each system is equipped with 20 radar modules. Each module can scout an area with a radius of 450km. “Integrated radar system with 20 modules, automatically control the aircraft’s operation over an area of ​​300,000 km2”, said General Koban. In addition to airspace control, the Nablyudatel radar is responsible for navigation, providing flight routes for aircraft that pass through the area in which it operates. General Koban also affirmed that this is the first radar system in history that can operate fully automatically without anyone participating in the control. Currently, Russia has deployed at least two Nablyudatel complexes to areas with the highest and most complex air traffic traffic.

In the wild, the lion leopard is also considered the top predator. However, Messi was born in the zoo and most of the time it lived as a domestic cat, so for the couple, Aleksandr and Maria, they see Messi as a big domestic cat. Although Dmitriev is well aware of Messi as a predator, at a certain point it will “test” their power to see who has control in the house, but both husband and wife have done. the need to restrain Messi’s wild nature. Aleksander and Maria are both well-trained psychologists, they have always loved cats, but never thought of sharing their home with a mountain lion. The cat Sphynx Kira was already enough for them. However, in 2018, when they heard that a leopard at the local zoo was in need of medical attention, the two decided to adopt it. They believe that in the zoo, the animals will have to live in small barns, leaving tourists to visit, so they want to give Messi a better chance of living. The young couple knew that if he didn’t rescue Messi, it might die, but they also knew that the zoo wouldn’t easily hand the young lion over to them. So they decided to pay for Messi and were very surprised when the zoo agreed to sell. The couple brought Messi home to take care of his health, and they also had to renovate and adjust around the house to prepare for raising a lion. Most of the time Messi works like a domestic cat. However, its oversized size does have some disadvantages to it. Alekskandr and Maria have repaired the hallway to a residence for Messi, lined the walls with bamboo panels to withstand the lion’s scratch and convenient if it has to be replaced. They also erected a large trunk for Messi to climb, adding a small hiding place for it below. But it seems that Messi prefers to sit in front of the bathroom window, where he can see the endless grassland outside the apartment complex. To get along with Messi, Aleksandr and Maria sent him to pet training. The results are impressive as now Messi can hear a simple fate like “sit”, “stay”, “come” and “no”, even take him for a walk. Training was important to Messi, but it didn’t have a lot of space in the Dmitriev couple’s apartment, and they couldn’t drop it in the park near the house either. So it was trained to go for walks with the owner. So the locals are no longer too strange to see a man walking a large mountain lion. According to the couple, the experience of raising Messi is incredibly positive. For one thing, they find that living with this big cat also presents certain difficulties. The whole haid can’t go on vacation or hang out with friends. The cost of living meat to feed Messi is also up to 600 dollars a month. Aleksandr and Maria are both aiming to make money to move to a more spacious house, giving Messi some private space. If they achieve this goal, they will then adopt another big cat, possibly a leopard for Messi to have friends. Through the newly updated photos on their personal page, it seems that they have achieved their aspirations. The couple moved to a new home and Messi also has a friend who is a leopard. Currently, Messi has become a phenomenon on social networks, the Instagram account of the family has 1.5 million followers, while YouTube is 1.8 million.

Russian soldiers are waiting in line to board the Ilyushin Il-76 transport plane (Image: Reuters) Following the announcement, the currencies of both Russia and Ukraine surged, signaling a sigh of relief from investors just hours after Russia finished its Crimea exercise – the region that has returned to be part of the campaign. Russia in 2014. Since 2014, Russian-backed separatists have been fighting the Ukrainian government in the region. Hence, the confirmation of the Russian withdrawal is likely to be welcomed by Western countries, which have expressed concern over the prospect of Russia intervening more deeply in eastern Ukraine. This month, a spokesman for the President of Ukraine said, Russia has deployed more than 40,000 troops on the eastern border of Ukraine and more than 40,000 in Crimea, of which about 50,000 are new deployments. Moscow does not release specific numbers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy wrote on Twitter that Ukraine “welcomes any move to reduce its military presence and the situation in Donbass (eastern Ukraine)”, at the same time “grateful to international partners. supported them “. Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Kyiv did not know whether Moscow would launch an attack, and said that if Russia does, the West must make sure it is on Ukraine’s side. “So now it can go in either direction” – Mr. Kuleba said – “And this is why the homogeneous Western response is so important right now.” State Department spokesman Ned Price said Washington was aware of the Russian announcement and was closely monitoring the situation at the border. “We have heard the words and what we are looking for is action” – Mr. Price said. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said he ordered the soldiers participating in the exercises to return to the base before May 1 after completing what he called a “check” in the border area. “I believe that the quick test has completely achieved its goal. The military has proven its ability to provide a reliable defense for the country,” he said. Military weapons will be gathered at a training ground near the city of Voronezh, about six hours’ drive from Ukraine, so that they can be used again later this year in another scheduled large exercise. Hours earlier, Mr. Shoigu had attended exercises in Crimea, which Moscow says involved 10,000 troops and more than 40 warships. Russia also announced that it had arrested a Ukrainian man as spies in the Crimea. Being stationed near Ukraine is one of the problems that has intensified tensions between Russia and the West. Last week, the US tightened sanctions against Russia for accusing it of cyber-attacks and meddling in the presidential election held last November.

In Moscow, the Kremlin said Putin had received an invitation from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to meet to discuss the crisis. “If the President deems it necessary, he will answer himself. I have nothing to say about that now “- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

On this commemorative milestone, Mr. Boris Volynov, Soviet cosmonaut, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, the last living astronaut from the first astronaut team, who made two flights into space. , shared with Sputnik about the selection of astronauts at the time, about his relationship with Gagarin and about the cause of the death of astronaut No. 1. – How was he selected in the space pilot team? – Boris Volynov: In 1955 I graduated from the training school and became a pilot of the Moscow air defense force, serving in Yaroslavl. The work is very complicated and difficult. There is practically no day off. One day, I received an order to the command of the regiment. Before entering the office, I was invited to another room, where the KGB National Security Agency representative asked me to sign a nondisclosure agreement. Entering the office, there were no regimental commanders, but strangers instead. T I was asked to do the life-risky job of flying at higher speeds and higher altitudes than our fighters, although we are still proud of the fact that we fly at high speeds and contemporary highest altitude. I agreed to accept a new assignment, then after a short time I received an order to make a business trip to Moscow. We go through a selection of pressure chambers, on centrifuges, on special swings to test the vestibular apparatus. The total challenge time is 40 days and nights. Out of the five regimental pilots who were called to the Army Hospital, only I was the one who passed the test with a “Match” result. After a while, he received orders to return to Moscow. There are 12 people, the next day to add a 13th person. In the aviation profession, this is a number that people are very afraid of. Not a single aircraft in our air force unit has the tail number 13, no apartments in the military town are numbered 13. Such details remain bold in memory. Soviet Hero Yuri Gagarin. – Do you remember your acquaintance with Gagarin? – Boris Volynov: We get to know him better through skydiving. He thought I was good at dancing and came to consult. We arrange parachutes together. Yura had made no mistake. Right after the 17th dance, at the request of the team leader, I was assigned to be a guide and help you. We communicate not just about work. We also play volleyball together. – It was not immediately clear then that Yuri Gagarin would become the first astronaut. When do you know who will fly April 12? – Boris Volynov: Until the very last moment, we still don’t know who will fly, Yuri Gagarin or the German Titov. For example, in space travel, human weight is very important. Being overweight always wastes the fuel of the boosters. German is lighter than Yura. It is only at the meeting of the State Committee for the Universe that it is decided who flies first. We weren’t there, but only knew of this choice during flight, when we heard Gagarin’s “Kedr” (Snow Pine) signal during radio communications with Earth. On the other hand, it wasn’t long before German flew into space as well. If Gagarin did a spin around the Earth and couldn’t feel all the “pleasure” of weightlessness, then German would be the first person in the world to experience everything on his own in a day long flight. Your night. At that time, no one knew and no one could explain how weightlessness would affect the vestibular apparatus, where the head was filled with blood. Astronaut Gagarin in the compartment “Vostok-1”. – How and where did he welcome on April 12, 1961? – Boris Volynov: That day I was in Khabarovsk at the radio broadcasting station. It is my duty to make sure to get in touch with Yura. As he passed us, he began to report: “I am entering the shadow of the Earth”. We all wonder, “How is that?”. At that time no one knew about this. So what’s more, in 1961. Why is the darkness of the Earth? We did not understand until later. Yura landed, our job done, it was time to return to Moscow. In the city, we saw a jubilant scene. It was a weekday working day, but a lot of people were gleefully pouring out into the street so I can only compare this event with the Victory Day celebration. – Why do you think Gagarin himself was chosen? Due to his inherent human qualities? – Boris Volynov : Yura is always willing to help others. Even in difficult times, he knows how to unravel the situation. He went through many hardships, but I have never seen him offend anyone. Yura is always ready to support and share. He has the qualifications, skills, intelligence to find a common voice with everyone. Once we went with him to a repair workshop. He understood everything, spoke the same language as the craftsmen. And after the flight, he talked to the members of the Academy of Sciences. Yura is “me” everywhere and at all times. – Were you involved in the investigation of Gagarin’s death? – Boris Volynov: Have. – Alexei Leonov has his own hypothesis about what happened to the jet that passed by Gagarin’s plane. And what do you think about this? – Boris Volynov: His assumptions are unreasonable. Once central television invited me, Alexei Leonov, Viktor Gorbatko, the test pilot Stepan Mikoyan, who said that the whole assumption was bullshit. And Leonov said that he did not give the full name of the faulty test pilot, who was 90 years old at the time, to avoid ruining his life. And Mikoyan knew all about the test pilots. There was only one 90-year-old man who could not pass near Gagarin in supersonic mode, because he specialized in testing transport planes. Mikoyan even did the test: he took the MiG-15UTI, and then asked to arrange two test pilots, flying at the same altitude and at the same speed as the modern supersonic plane flies by side. next to them in different directions, below, above, at different angles. The MiG-15UTI swung up and down, but no emergency situation occurred. That is the perspective of a professional test pilot. Soviet space pilot Yuri Gagarin and aerospace pilot Alexei Leonov after flight aboard the MIG-15 fighter plane – In your opinion, is this a tragic accidental scene? – Boris Volynov: Hard to say. I do not understand anything. There are many theories, of which what is the truth cannot be known. One of the assumptions was that a soldier launched a meteorological balloon. This is a device weighing about 1 kg. If the plane collided with it in the light of its headlights at high speed, it wouldn’t be a small deal. At the same time, it was impossible to see the ball early while flying at high speed. – His active period coincided with a period of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States. Now people talk more about cooperation. In your view, should competition or cooperation be better? – Boris Volynov: Competition is not bad either. In 1969 we and the Americans attended the international convention in Delhi. Due to his outstanding achievements in space exploration, astronaut Neil Armstrong received the highest award from the International Space Federation for the world’s first landing on the lunar surface, while also commanding spacecraft Boris Volynov and astronaut researcher Evgeny Khrunov receive the award for the first time in the world to pair two spacecraft and go from ship to ship in open space. At this international conference, Neil Armstrong and I shook hands. I talked to him, he is a normal person and has learned a lot in my life. When he was a little boy, he wanted to fly in airplanes. They also have the same Flight Clubs we have in the Soviet Union, except the Americans have to pay and we are free. To earn money to pay for school, Neil Armstrong did the cleaning. As a result, we both flew into outer space. 108 minutes to change the world In the early 60s, Yuri Gagarin was fortunate to be among the first 20 astronauts in Soviet history, selected by the government from 3,000 of the best military students, thereby training them for missions without Any country in the world thinks: Fly into space! Regardless of the government’s expectations, Yuri Gagarin has made history after completing a 108-minute mission around the Earth on the Orient 1 spacecraft (Vostok 1). This event helped the Soviet Union become the first country in human history to get people out of the Earth’s gravity, spread their wings out into large space. At that time, Gagarin was only 27 years old. His trophies brought the Soviet Union to become the number 1 power in space conquest. On March 27, 1968, Yuri Gagarin returned to the flight route with the task of training a test pilot on the first generation MiG-15 jet fighter. Minutes after taking off from Chkalovsky airbase near Moscow, Gagarin suddenly notified ground control that they would return to the base. However, shortly thereafter, all communications with Gagarin’s plane were lost. After the plane disappeared from radar screens, authorities sent a search team consisting of hard-wing aircraft and helicopters. Four hours later, the body of the crashed plane was found near the city of Kirzhach, 133km from Moscow. Seven years after his historic mission, Yuri Gagarin farewell to the world in tears, when he was still too young at the age of 34.

Earlier, speaking on April 20, Mr. Zelensky proposed his readiness to meet President Putin in Donbass, amid the outbreak of fighting between Ukrainian soldiers and independence forces in the East.

PAK DA designs developed by Tupolev Office of Russia. Photo: Ministry of Defense of Russia In early April, the Russian Ministry of Defense approved the final design for the sixth-generation stealth bomber, called the “Modern Long Range Aviation Complex” (identified as in Russian is PAK DA). This aircraft designed and developed by the Tupolev Office places priority on stealth and long-range weapon use. Currently, the office is building a full-size, full-scale PAK DA prototype aircraft. PAK DA is designed based on the aerodynamic principle of “flying wings”, without the tail part, the fuel tank is separated from the wing, can reach subsonic speeds of 1,190 km / h. The PAK DA is expected to replace the Tu-160 strategic bomber developed in the Soviet era. The new Russian aircraft model uses the latest stealth technology, alloys and synthetic materials. The main weapon system equipped on the PAK DA includes long-range cruise missiles and supersonic missiles using modern technology, capable of escaping enemy radar.
