so is this like prototype techs?
a lot of that looks cool, but uh... not functioning, or just there to impress and look fancy as far as I can tell.
Also considering it's Russia I have a bit of a feeling they'll have a bit of trouble building any of that now :sagiri-laugh:

Some are prototypes and some are realistic, even when they were soviets, they created technological marvels like the ekranoplan(i still believe a functional one in wavy waters will eventually be achievable in time) the kholod project which benefited greatly from their scramjet missile technology, sold their ramjet missiles to us, and operation mount hope 3 or project azorian shows we were interested in their helicopter and submarine projects. Petr ufimtsevs was praised by many skunkworks engineers in aircraft stealth technology calling it the rosetta stone for later developements like the F-22 and F-35s. I will give you a summary later when I compare rocket technology between the US and Russia.

Musk was worshipped as a hero at places like reddit when he introduced re-usable engine rockets, the proton rocket was dominant for a long time since 2000 until the falcon 9 block 4 and 5 became successful in the market along with sanctions to Russia that we started to make many purchases for falcon rockets.

https://singularityhub.com/2021/05/...als-reusable-rockets-are-becoming-mainstream/ he managed to re-use the rocket up to 10 times. It costs according to them 15 million dollars for marginal costs of Falcon 9 where 60% is to 1st stage and 20% is to upper stages but 50 million dollars fully for the rocket(they selling it for 65 million dollars). 1st stage engine is 30 million dollars and 2nd stage engine is 10 million dollars but the re-usability for falcon 9 was 10 times that means 40+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10+10 equaling 130 million divided by those 10 launches you get 13 million dollars while selling each of those launches for 65 million dollars. In terms of payloads to space and costs you are respectfully beating NASA and Roscosmos.


starship_mk1__1.jpg


What gives redditors the most hard-ons is starship. https://techcrunch.com/2019/11/06/e...ld-fly-for-as-little-as-2-million-per-launch/ no idea about each starship cost being 2 million per launch when the number of raptor engines needed already exceed 2 million dollars https://www.mcnallyinstitute.com/how-much-does-it-cost-for-raptor-engine/#:~:text=Spaceflight for Raptors will last,engine can cost between $250,000. and if the engines last for 1000 flights than each heavy payload by starship will be will round costs in the 10-100k per launch. no idea at times if musk is pulling marketing BS time to tome based on his long time critic that made alot of views from musk himself



Roscosmos

EjqIBa_XkAAANsK-640x784.jpg


Amur has a profit margin of 22 million dollars. Than just for estimates the Amur would cost 10 million dollars remove the 20% with 60% for 1st stage and 20% for 2nd stage that means the Amur is 8 million dollars meaning they can re-use the engine 300 times more. Amur rocket is all 1st stage using same methane engines which will cost us 10 million dollars on the 1st launch(remember Amur rocket is all 1st stage)but add 299 zeros and divide it by 300 which means the Amur costs 33333.33 dollars per launch by using the Musk marketing of Falcon 9 and technically speaking I would be correct. This rocket I assume is to be introduced to the market in 2026.

https://nauka.tass.ru/nauka/11510445 to save the google translate part they made a closed-circuit engine design that makes it burn above 3000 seconds while most and all rocket stage launches last 300-400 seconds before reaching space, a staggering 10 times the amount in fuel efficiency. https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/USA/methane_prices/ and https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/USA/kerosene_prices/ methane is alot cheaper hence the development of methane rockets, but if the same fuel can be used for 10 times with 10 times the re-usability without getting refueled, than you divide the cost of kerosene by 10 times because of the closed circuit kerosene rocket engine design.

wing3.jpg


Russia created a new design bureau about 2 years ago creating fly-wing rocket designs (worked with baikal before) in which this picture is pretty much self-explanatory. re-usable rockets use half the fuel to get to orbit and the other half to re-land, fly-wing rockets use wings and parachutes to re-land and they are conducting parachute testing for rockets around 2024.


1634243692_photo_2021-10-08_21-56-17-1.jpg



"They want to launch a rocket from Plesetsk. The media will appear in two versions at once: disposable and reusable. In the latter case, he will return to the ground with the help of his wings. The launch weight of the rocket in the disposable version is 23,6 tons. The one-time option will be able to put 200 kilograms of cargo into low-earth orbit (584 kilometers), and 84 kilograms into geostationary orbit.

The reusable version will deliver 398 kilograms of cargo to low-earth orbit, and 60 kilograms to geostationary orbit. Moreover, it will be heavier: the launch mass of the rocket will be 25 tons. This happened because of the wing, the turbojet engine, as well as the landing gear, which are needed for the landing, which will be carried out at the airfield, just like a regular aircraft does. Another option involves the use of skis instead of a chassis.

They decided to use a pair of oxygen - methane in the case of the carrier and heptyl with amyl, if we talk about the upper stage, called the "apogee module", as a fuel. Both the disposable and reusable versions are due to make their maiden flight in 2024."

It is worth recalling that TsNIIMash has long been developing a reusable rocket as part of its development work. "Wing-SV", but earlier Kapustin Yar and the new Vostochny cosmodrome were named as the launch site.


It seems they are also exploring the field of miniature rocket launches which might bring interesting potential to the market.

Also the major difference is that U.S. is pursuing nuclear thermal rockets, while Russia is pursuing nuclear power plants powering ion engines which is a major difference that people often mix up. I heard ion engines form earth to mars take 1 in a half months while chemical rockets like 6-8 months.

Burevestnik is in the testing phase which is a nuclear powered missile with unlimited range(flies as long as reactor is powering it) at low altitudes to make it difficult to spot being below thee radar horizon, Sarmat I heard uses detonation engines for a quick start, Avangard is a rumored mach 27 flight vehicle that gets released at a 100km flight range but unlike the HTV-2 its proven to be successful, Poseidon i am assuming a is a 100 megaton warhead to destroy coasts traveling underwater, kinzhal is a quasi-aeroballistic missile that manuevers at every stage to make interceptions difficult......Zircon scramjet missile based on mach 8-10 speeds from different sources and a 40km altitude creates a plasma shield which makes it difficult for radars at a low to firecontrol frequency difficult to track, has a lower altitude being below radar horizon because of 40kms while radars have a better time tracking ballistic missiles that have a 1000km altitude and it can manuever in its flight. They also have internal hypersonic missiles that can go inside the su-57. Basically their weapons are meant to avoid Europe's air defense shield covering their countries(this was one of the reasons for invading ukraine other than neonazi problem)

Su-70 stealth drone is going to be operational in two years with air to air capabilities along with air to ground capabilities even though the neuron, bae taranis, X-47B flew and were introduced before the okhotnik-B. Peresvet is said to be a mobile nuclear reactor pump laser operating in the megawatt range,, etc etc. etc

S-500s can deal with up to 10 ICBMs simultaneously on its own, the brand new voronezh ground radars for the A-235 system can probably deal with way more ICBM targets, and now there is a S-550 air defense that is said to deal at a bigger scale for hypersonic targets than the S-500, also they are creating new radars that work in the terahertz range and 4 different radar bands from meter to millimeter values for pin point accuracy https://rg.ru/2018/04/08/revoliuciia-v-tehnike-lokacii-v-rossii-sozdaetsia-radiofotonnaia-rls.html and https://tvzvezda.ru/news/20201221158-DrTuy.html Basically, Russia is forcing the west to stay competitive because having just plain old nukes might no longer cut it that they even have to beg the Chinese to go against Russia whom are making financial deals with them as we speak.

Since I don't want Russia to be at the level taking out most of our nukes while using new nuclear weapon concepts to bypass our missile shield defense systems, I say sanction them.

Summary

I have also noticed that all our students competition in science and math against other countries all seem to look Chinese, If you look at the ICPC programming contests, Russia is 1st place, MIT or US is 2nd all look Chinese, china 3rd place and Poland is like 4th place. I dont think the west can stay competitive flooding their countries with people bringing 3rd world shithole ideals while teaching people about LGBT history and 60 genders. What we need is to teach people in the US is critical thinking. Reddit may stop me from freely expressing myself about technology and Vtubers but not this place lol.

Manturov: Russia will replace Ukraine in the world neon market, 25.07.2022.

Russia plans to increase neon production to 180,000 cubic meters next year. m and provide almost a quarter of the world's needs, said Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov at a meeting of President Vladimir Putin with members of the government.

“Today, over 30% of the world volumes of the neon-helium mixture are produced in Russia, but at the site in Baumanka we plan to initially produce about 70 thousand cubic meters of neon per year, which will correspond to about 10% of the global market. And next year we will increase production to 180,000 cubic meters. And we will be able to meet almost a quarter of the world's needs. In fact, we will replace the volumes previously supplied by two Ukrainian enterprises that are now not functioning, ” TASS quotes Manturov.

“If for neon by the end of the year it is 10% (share in the world market - approx. VZGLYAD), by the end of next year - 25%. And for xenon and krypton - also about 30%," he added.

At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed to a multiple difference in the levels of stocks and exports of high-purity neon, which is necessary for the radio-electronic industry.

“In recent years, we have been actively engaged in the restoration and development of our radio-electronic industry. In this regard, one issue is important, without which it is difficult to develop this industry. I mean the production of high-purity neon. We have 30% of the world's reserves of raw materials and only 1% in the international supply of this gas to world markets,” the head of state said.

As Putin assured, he knows that "the government is now taking active steps to radically change the situation."

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, said that a full-scale production of pure neon was launched at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University.

Borisov believes that the development of high-precision weapons devalues the capabilities of aircraft carriers

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that Russia adheres to a defensive strategy and for it, unlike the United States, the construction of aircraft carriers is "a very controversial issue"
MOSCOW, April 19. /tass/. The development of high-precision and hypersonic weapons reduces the capabilities of aircraft carrier groups. The Russian Navy is able to solve tasks for their intended purpose at the expense of ships of the far sea zone. This opinion was expressed by Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov in an interview with RT.

"In principle, the development of high-precision weapons, hypersonic weapons sometimes devalues all the capabilities of aircraft carrier groups," Borisov said. "It's a target, yes. Although, of course, it is well protected, and it also has certain air and missile defense capabilities."

Borisov noted that Russia adheres to a defensive strategy and for it, unlike the United States, the construction of aircraft carriers is "a very controversial issue."

In his opinion, it is possible to achieve the goals that are currently set for the Russian navy by developing cheaper models, including ships of the far sea zone, and get a similar effect.

Shoigu announced the start of mass production of hypersonic missiles "Zircon"

August 20, 2022, 20: 15

Russia is starting mass production of hypersonic Zircon missiles, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on August 20.

According to the minister, these missiles are actually put into service.

"We are starting mass production of Zircon missiles. We have actually put it into service. This year it will already be documented, " he said in an interview with Rossiya 1 TV channel on the sidelines of the Army 2022 forum.

The Russian robotic complex "Marker", tested as a short-range air defense system, has demonstrated success in the fight against small drones. Platform tests were recognized as successful.

To use the "Marker" as an air defense system, a small-arms-grenade launcher module and a radar were installed on it, capable of recognizing air targets with a small dispersion area. During the tests, the radar detected the target, transmitted its coordinates to the module, after which it was destroyed by the fire of a regular machine gun. At the same time, the shooting module, after receiving the coordinates of the target, independently tracked it using optics. It is emphasized that the "Marker" can be trained using modern neural networks and hit targets even faster.

Another test took place at the trap shooting range, where the robot shot down 80% of the launched skeet with a carbine.

As noted by the executive director of NPO "Android Technique" Evgeny Dudorov, whose words are quoted RIA News, the Marker robotic complex can be used as short-range air defense to neutralize drones, including a swarm of drones.

The beginning of tests of the robotic platform "Marker", created jointly by the Foundation for Advanced Research and NPO "Android Technology", was announced in early March 2019. The platform is designed in a modular fashion. The ultimate goal of the Marker project is to create a fully autonomous complex capable of independently performing a wide range of tasks.

Quadpacked design for pantsir to carry 4 times the amount of missiles to deal with aerial targets.


Exoskeleton Ratnik is the latest combat suit with the content of an armor set and components that protect the soldier completely. It is made according to modern technologies. It also includes the lower part, designed to increase the strength of the soldier and his endurance. Titanium was used as a material. Such a set was created more than one day, and the whole process of creation is quite complicated. Nevertheless, the equipment with the presence of an advanced control and communication system surprised many military.

In fact, the appearance of the "Warrior" can be considered the beginning of a new era in the ground forces. The kit continues to be modernized, and new generations are being developed.



History​

Almost the entire decade, the development of a model range of combat suits was carried out by a research institute specializing in precision engineering. It is he who is the main supplier of weapons for the Russian military. The developers believe that these costumes will be applicable to combat in two years.

The first time the equipment was shown 9 years ago. Then "Ratnik" was highly appreciated. The exoskeleton was recommended for mass production. Already in 2014, new kits began to appear in military formations. Now the latter number two hundred thousand. This can be called a large-scale renewal of the Russian army.

Exoskeleton Ratnik-3


You can imagine that at the very beginning this exoskeleton was perceived simply as a new uniform made of modern materials. Later, the concept was completely replaced, so now the kit consists of many elements.

"Ratnik" is considered to be a modular complex, so all its components can be combined. The latter depends on which branch of the armed forces you belong to. The combination is also affected by the season or place where it will be applied. Moreover, it is possible to replace a certain part of it without losing the performance of the exoskeleton.

Features of the exoskeleton "Ratnik 3"​

Outwardly, it will remind you of the generously painted image of the fighter of the future - this is the presence of a multi-layered body armor in a small cell, as well as massive angular elbow pads and a fully closed helmet.

Head​

The main rule in the development of such an element is its ease. This allows you not to bend the neck of the fighter. It's bulletproof. There is also a mask with glasses, which are significantly enhanced for a less serious fight. Under the latter, it is considered to be a display screen with the content of information about intelligence and about the health of the soldier, for example, his temperature. In addition, the watch also reflects biological indicators and information about the goal. The helmet was created with a breathing apparatus inside.

Weapon​

Manufacturers made sure that the soldier's hands were not too loaded with equipment, otherwise it would reduce his effectiveness. Therefore, the only addition to the weapon was protection against fragments. In addition, there is a clock that it protects from an explosion. The latter are almost impossible to destroy.

Weapon


Body​

The fabric was developed more recently. The material allows you to make the fighter elusive for infrared imaging, since all the heat is concentrated inside the kit. Such a vest will not be able to penetrate a bullet, which is confirmed by repeated checks. With its use, most of the body is protected. In the armpits and below, in the abdominal area there are weak inserts. The fabric and vest have fire resistance and water resistance. Moreover, you yourself will be able to adjust the temperature indicators of the suit, based on your own comfortable and tactical considerations. The suit is suitable for areas with temperature indicators of 30-50 degrees.

Legs​

Thanks to the presence of a titanium frame that works from the boots to the hips and in the waist area, it became possible to redistribute the weight when you go and run. This technology will increase your endurance, and will also increase the speed of running. The battery is located in the boots. The latter are quite resistant to mines and fire. There is also anti-fragmentation protection completely for the legs.

Legs


Future Innovations​

In the plans of the developers, a separate item is to improve the medical capabilities of the Ratnik exoskeleton in the new version. They plan to find a way to stop the bleeding. Such major developments will be a huge step in the field of innovation.

MOSCOW, July 9 — RIA Novosti. The Russian space nuclear tug "Zeus" can be used to disable the electromagnetic pulse of spacecraft of potential opponents and "fire" a laser, follows from the materials of the KB "Arsenal" (included in the "Roscosmos") is one of the developers of the complex.
Earlier, the Keldysh Research Center reported that the Zeus can be used in the air defense system: it will illuminate air targets from orbit.
As follows from the arsenal documents available to RIA Novosti, in 2018-2019, the design bureau conducted research work to find out whether Zeus can not only remotely probe the Earth's surface and near-Earth airspace, but also "act with the help of electromagnetic radiation on radio-electronic means of control, reconnaissance, communication and navigation systems; directed energy transfer by laser radiation".
In addition, civil tasks are also envisaged: communications, broadcasting and retransmission, inter-orbital transportation of goods, delivery of goods to Moon.

Lasers in space can be not only weapons, but also a source of energy for drones. This idea was patented by Russian scientists.

Specialists of the Rocket and Space Corporation "Energia" named after S. P. Korolev have patented a new type of unmanned aerial vehicle that will be able to charge its batteries from a laser beam right in flight. The description of the development was published by the Federal Institute of Industrial Property (FIPS).
"The technical result of the invention is the combination in the design of the quadrocopter, in addition to the functions of the omnidirectional receiver-converter of the electromagnetic energy of the laser beam into electricity and the passive marker of the search, tracking and guidance system, as well as the functions of the power structure and thermal, which makes it possible to perform constructive (power) and thermal linkage of three mutually perpendicular honeycomb circular panels that make up its body into a single heat network," Says description of the development.


According to the creators, electromagnetic radiation from the laser radiation generation system (SGLI), placed on the ground, air or space control station, the formation and guidance system (SFIN), is formed into a laser beam with the specified parameters and, using the search, tracking and guidance system (PSN), is directed to the body of the quadcopter. There, electromagnetic radiation (EMP) through photovoltaic converters is sent to photovoltaic cells, which turn emr into photovoltaic current, and the direct current of the power supply is transformed into alternating current to power the electric motors that drive the propellers of the quadcopter.
As the authors of the idea from RSC Energia note, such a system of powering the drone with energy will allow it to remain in the air without landing for a long time, including night, to carry out work that is associated with a long flight - for example, aerial photography or video surveillance. In this case, the source of laser radiation to power the quadrocopter can be located both on the ground and in space

They have SONAR arrays that have 100s of kms in range and can be placed anywhere out at sea being powered by nuclear reactors instead of cables from the shore which at times would need repairs and the SONARs are only close to the coast line and cant be placed in the middle of the sea like the HARMONY project. low frequency communcation can be used thus they can even use satellites to pick up where ships are at based on where SONAR picked their locations up. GEO satellites offer a huge footprint and SAR resolution has gotten good enough that it can spot carriers and if it does it would relay that information to LEO satellites to offer better tracking. Their submarines have the longest range torpedoes called Futlyar and can use alot of underwater drones with their own SONAR to expand their detection range besides using the HARMONY network SONAR arrays in detecting underwater targets. Technology for satellites increased their resolution capabilities in identifying ships along with the process of creating nuclear reactor powered SONAR arrays to be placed anywhere in the world that it seems logical that they can use Zircon which can be fired from underwater to hit ships 1000s of kilometers away or use Zmeevik from their coasts to attack ships at further distances than zircon which both have ABM shield penetration capabiilities or even the option of using fast long range torpedoes such as Poseidon. You can pretty much say this changes how warfare is fought drastically out at sea. It will be hard to find HARMONY SONAR arrays which can use passive SONAR detection instead of active SONAR detection which I guess will only be used if there is a war going to happen. million dollar torpedoes or missiles are cheaper than billion dollar ships.

Sometimes you dont need a huge budget.

"It will be a multi-purpose submarine capable of diving to a depth of about a kilometer. It must carry on board strategic missiles and anti-ship missiles. Of course, torpedo weapons. It will have its own air defense system. The peculiarity is that in a special compartment on its board there is an autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle. He must ensure the protection of the main submarine during combat service and conduct reconnaissance of the underwater situation.

The submarine will be equipped with the most advanced hydroacoustics systems. The engine of a promising boat is radically different from those that are on modern submarines. It will become almost silent and more effective in all respects. Therefore, the tail part of the boat has unusual contours from the usual point of view.

The strategic submarine of the future is initially designed for service under the ice shell of the Arctic. According to the designers, it will be impossible for the enemy to determine its location there. At the same time, our submarine cruiser will hear everything that happens within a radius of hundreds, and maybe thousands of kilometers from it. Accordingly, identify any threat in advance and, if necessary, neutralize it.

It is also interesting that the nuclear submarine of the future is conceived in a double version. Naturally, in combat - first of all. But on its basis it is possible to build multifunctional civilian deep-sea research submarines."


Based on their yasen, borei class submarine projects and special purpose submarines like the Belgorod I think this project will be guaranteed to happen later since they have an autistic admiration for submarines. One of the things i find interesting is that it has a max depth of one kilometer when all the latest submarines are usually 500 meters and I guess the strategic significance of going deeper is you can go faster without noisy cavitation.

RUSSIA IS DEVELOPING AN INTERCEPTOR FOR THE DEMOLITION OF A US SATELLITE CONSTELLATION
January 31, 2021

It will soon be unsafe for US military intelligence satellites to hover over Russian territory.

The state corporation “Rostec” on January 22nd 2021, in its publication, literally reported the following: “The development of the next generation of fighter jets/interceptors has already begun. The project of a promising long-range intercept aircraft complex (PAK DP) is at the stage of development work.”

This article was published just in time for the holiday – the Day of Aviation of the Russian Air Defense Forces and was devoted to the modernisation of the MiG-31 interceptor fighter to the MiG-31BM version.

After the announcement of further work on the PAK DP project, a number of publications appeared in the Russian press that questioned the need for this development, since the interception tasks can be assigned to the fighters already in service, and the funds allocated for the PAK DP project can be redistributed to other, more urgent purposes.

Let’s try to understand this issue. To date, the tasks of intercepting and destroying various air targets (bombers, cruise missiles, reconnaissance aircraft, refueling aircraft and fighters) in any conditions and at any altitude are worked on by the MiG-31 supersonic all-weather long-range interceptor fighter. The MiG-31 can destroy even low-flying satellite objects.

This jet was adopted in 1981 and was produced until 1994. A total of 519 aircraft of various modifications were produced.

Since 2008, there has been an active process of upgrading the MiG-31 to the MiG-31BM version, which should be completed by 2023. 114 combat vehicles will be updated. Thanks to the new Zaslon-AM radar, the aircraft can detect air targets at a range of up to 320 kilometres and hit them at a range of up to 280 kilometres. It became possible to simultaneously track up to 10 targets and hit 6 targets with missiles.

Importantly, in the MiG-31BM version, the aircraft has turned into a multifunctional combat vehicle. It can interact with anti-aircraft missile systems of air defences, as well as direct guided missiles at air targets from other fighter jets that are approaching the enemy at the range of destruction by missile weapons in a radar silence mode. In addition, the MiG-31BM is able to play the role of a kind of air command post for coordinating the actions of other types of fighter jets whose radars have less power.

Due to the modernisation of avionics and weapons, the effectiveness of the MiG-31BM compared to the MiG-31 increased by 2.6-fold, but, according to experts, this modernisation potential of the system is actually exhausted. The designers believe that the upgrade to the MiG-31BM version will increase the service life of the aircraft by 10 years.

Thus, the MiG-31BM will be able to operate until 2033. It turns out that until this time, the troops should receive a new combat vehicle capable of solving long-range interception tasks, with higher flight and combat characteristics.

The most optimal solution is the project of a promising long-range interception aircraft complex (PAK DP). Of course, the designers do not disclose all the details of this development. But still, bit by bit in the open press, one can collect information and come to certain conclusions based on it.

What’s very important for the PAK DP project is that the aircraft will not be created from scratch, but on the basis of the MiG-31. We remind you that 519 MiG-31 aircraft of various modifications were produced. This fighter jet/interceptor has a body made of titanium alloy, the resource of which is almost inexhaustible. Conclusion: the MiG-31 airframe will be the basis for the PAK DP.

Thus, the question arises about the appropriate modern contents of the new fighter jet/interceptor. We believe that the PAK DP should receive a new generation radar – a radiophoton radar with a high level of efficiency. The efficiency of a radiophoton radar is estimated at 70%, and conventional radars have an efficiency of no more than 40%.

It is obvious that the PAK DP will receive an electro-remote control system instead of a cable control system. The jet will become more manoeuvrable. In addition, this will be a step towards the unmanned version of the PAK DP.

Of course, the new fighter jet/interceptor will be equipped with new or improved engines. Only they will be able to provide it with a speed of Mach 4.3 (more than 4500 km/h), and according to some sources – up to Mach 5.

It should be noted that the maximum permissible flight speed of the MiG-31BM reaches 3,400 km/h, which allows them to reach the launch line of cruise missiles by strategic enemy bombers in the shortest possible time. And for the PAK DA, this indicator will be higher by at least 30% – 4500 km/h.

The R-37M long-range air-to-air missile has a maximum range of 300 kilometers. The combat range of the MiG-31BM is 720 kilometers. With the R-37 missile, the MiG-31BM, taking into account its announced combat range, can hit an aerial target at a range of up to 1020 kilometres from the take-off airfield.

This significantly exceeds the range of ground-based air defence systems. For example, the range of the S-400 air defence system reaches 400 kilometres, and the S-500 “Prometey” air defence system – 600 kilometres. Thus, in a number of combat missions, ground-based air defence cannot replace a long-range fighter jet/interceptor due to the shorter range of destruction.

That is precisely why, at the end of its service life, the MiG-31BM should be replaced by a PAK DP that can quickly reach the desired area and use missile weapons on strategic bombers before they launch cruise missiles, and if necessary, hit the cruise missiles themselves.

The ability to reach high altitudes up to near space will allow PAK DA to work on satellites. The demolition of the enemy’s satellite grouping can deprive them of their eyes and ears, and lead to loss of control.

Front-line fighter jets are not able to work on long-range interception tasks, because their flight characteristics do not allow this: they do not have such a high speed and a large combat range. Therefore, we will not compare them with the MiG-31BM. But take the latest Russian fifth-generation fighter, the Su-57. Let’s compare the flight characteristics of the Su-57 fighter with the characteristics of the MiG-31BM interceptor.

The maximum speed of the Su-57 is 2600 km/h, and the MiG-31BM is 3400 km/h. The practical ceiling of the Su-57 is 20,000 meters, the MiG-31BM is 20,600 meters. The practical range of the Su-57 is in the range of 2000-4300 kilometres (depending on the flight mode), the average range of the Su-57 is 2700 kilometres, the MiG-31BM is 1450 kilometres.

Thus, the fifth-generation Su-57 fighter jet in terms of flight performance surpasses the long-standing MiG-31BM in only one parameter – flight range. With the PAK DP, this parameter will be significantly improved.

To date, the troops have received one Su-57. Until 2028, 76 combat vehicles of this brand should be in service. It is obvious that such a number of Su-57 aircraft will not be enough to work on tasks for the main purpose and to perform tasks for long-range interception.

The flight characteristics of the Su-57 and the estimated number of these aircraft in service suggest that our Armed Forces need a separate combat aircraft – a long-range fighter jet/interceptor.

According to “MiG”, the PAK DP will use new types of aircraft weapons, it will be created with the use of new stealth technologies, will be able to transport the necessary number of weapons and operate at a very large interception radius.

Thus, the need for the further work of “MiG” on the project of a promising long-range interception aircraft complex (PAK DP) is not in doubt. Using the MiG-31 fighter as the basis for development will not require a large amount of financial resources to complete this urgent task.


research on detonation engines for hypersonic flight https://www.researchgate.net/public..._DETONACII_PODKRITICESKIM_STRIMERNYM_RAZRADOM


rostec-pulse-detonation-engine-702x336.jpeg


Stage one testing of a pulse detonation engine for rockets by engineers at Russia’s Rostec group has shown up to a 50% increase in thrust compared to conventional engines.

Pulse detonation engines (PDE) could be used in advanced rocket and space systems, hypersonic aircraft and orbital spaceplanes. They work by detonating a fuel and oxidiser mixture within a chamber to combust, with the heat and high pressure gas shock wave pulses that occur after ignition triggering future detonations and producing thrust.

lg.php

No PDE has ever been put into production and used, but several prototype engines have been developed and tested, including for US research agency’s DARPA’s Blackswift test aircraft in 2008. Researchers in the USA also successfully tested an experimental rotating detonation engine for use in space rockets last year.

Engineers have long believed that a PDE could offer higher thermodynamic efficiencies than conventional jet engines. According to a press release, recent testing at the United Engine Corporation (UEC), part of Russian state-owned Rostec group has shown this.

According to a statement from the Rostec aviation cluster at the A. Lyulki Design Bureau, specific thrust was up to 50% higher than the performance of traditional power plants during testing of its demonstrator PDE and it displayed the required performance characteristics.

“This will prospectively increase the maximum range and payload mass of aircraft by 1.3–1.5 times. The design will be able to be applied, for example, on orbital spaceplanes, supersonic and hypersonic aircraft, and future-generation rocket and space systems”, said Rostec.

Aircraft equipped with pulse detonation engines will have better flight dynamics and maneuverability. The engine type can also be used to develop traditional rocket and air-jet propulsion systems or their support systems, added the company.

Evgeny Marchukov, general design director of UEC’s A. Lyulki Design Bureau said, “The simplicity of the design and its relatively low requirements for gas-dynamic process values allow us to integrate solutions developed on the previous engine generations. This provides a great commercial and economic advantage in comparison with the more traditional engines that are currently under development.”

According to Rostec, its PDE demonstrator has been in development since 2016, when it won the “Best innovative project in the areas of critical technologies in the Russian Federation” competition in Skolkovo Innovation Centre in Moscow.


Since the PAK DP/MFRK DP is a complex, a new rocket is also being developed. It is based on the "izdelie 180"/R-77M with multiple warheads.

16. Feb. 2020
a decision was made to develop a long-range intercept missile (MFRK DP) for the MiG-31 and the promising MiG-41, capable of hitting hypersonic ammunition. "Theoretical studies have been carried out on an ultra-long-range air-to-air missile with a multiple warhead."

Now the characteristics are being determined According to Izvestia, one of the candidates for the role of a submunition (head units) is the K-77M.
The heavy high-speed ammunition will deliver a warhead with several air-to-air missiles to a distance of several hundred kilometers.

Then they will separate from the carrier and begin to search and attack targets on their own. An active homing head with its own radar will help them in this.

Refractory "armor" of Samara scientists will extend the life and reliability of aircraft and rocket engines #Двигателестроение Roman Barsky Yesterday at 03:30 1255 0 Scientists of samara National Research University named after ak. S.P. Korolev came up with a coating to protect the structural elements of rocket and aircraft engines at extremely high temperatures. Refractory "armor" will prevent the destruction of the internal surfaces of nozzles and combustion chambers, turbine blades and other parts at a temperature of 1500 degrees Celsius. "This will significantly increase the service life and reliability of rocket and aircraft engines, gas pumping and power generating installations, as well as microgas turbine engines used on unmanned aerial vehicles," explained the author of the project Mikhail Giorbelidze. In structure, the coating resembles chain mail, consisting of layers of flat scales, which are specially located and fastened to each other. The thickness of all chain mail is less than half a millimeter. Inside the individual "scales" is a protective layer of material that does not allow aggressive components from the environment to penetrate to the engine parts. After the aircraft engine works out 25 thousand hours (this is the operational life between repair work), specialists check the condition of the coating and the engine element. If necessary, the coating can be applied again and used for another 25 thousand hours. There can be two or three such cycles of use, so the savings, taking into account the cost of engine parts, are tens of millions. After refining the technology, scientists will create prototypes of the coating for testing

I am assuming these engines will be the basics for a 6th gen aircraft designs.

Stealth aircrafts were used to have an advantage over 4th gen fighter aircrafts for offering low radar returns with reduced heat signatures, F-117s exploits to Serbia should it was useful and when computing got better and skunkwork engineers were praising Ufimtsevs equation as the rosetta stone of designing stealth aircrafts we can see how much different a B-2 is from a F-117. Hypersonic or higher altitude aircrafts will have the next advantage because aircrafts at lower altitudes will have air to air missiles burn more fuel traveling up than aircrafts using missiles to descend to targets and it will be difficult keeping a radar track on higher altiude aircraft because the radar nose has to stay pointed towards the higher altitude aircraft while the higher altitude aircraft will see the topside of the lower altitude aircraft which would offer alot of radar return waves.

MISIS (National University of Science and Technology of Russia) will be the first in the world to train designers of 3D bioprinters, by Maria Nabirkina for Rossiskaya Gazeta. 02.03.2023.

MISIS Advanced School of Engineering is launching the Master's program "Biomedical Engineering and Biofabrication" in 2023.

It will train versatile designers of new generation 3D bioprinters for printing organ and tissue equivalents. Today, not a single university in the world trains personnel capable of creating bioprinters from and to: from the development of drawings to a real product.

As a rule, the companies working in this field are engaged in the preparation of such specialists.

The direction of bioprinting is developing rapidly and actively: over the past 10 years, it has become part of one of the most important areas of biomedicine - regenerative, from absolute fantasy.

The shortage of donor organs and their immune rejection is one of the most important problems in medicine. But, as explained to "RG" in MISIS, today bioprinting technologies are not yet ready to solve it.

- We set ourselves an ambitious task - to form a national industry of biomedical materials and bioengineering, - Alevtina Chernikova, rector of the MISIS University, told RG. - To solve it, a consortium "Health Engineering" was created, headed by Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Chekhonin. One of the key activities of the consortium is the training of a new generation of specialists in the field of biomaterials science. Graduates of our master's program "Biomedical Engineering and Biofabrication" will be engineers and scientists who are able to independently design advanced medical equipment, develop import-outpacing technologies with the prospect of rapid commercialization to improve the quality and duration of people's lives.

Graduates of the program - design engineers - will gain knowledge in the design of parts and mechanisms of bioprinters and electrical engineering, skills in creating software for managing bioprinters. By understanding the features of cell functioning, they will be able to create devices for printing with living cells. In addition, there are separate modules related to the registration of medical devices and the launch of the product on the market.


Krasnoyarsk scientists together with specialists of NPP Radiosvyaz of the holding "Roselektronika" (part of Rostec) have developed a method of rapid bone fusion using modified nanoparticles and weak magnetic fields. Anna Kichkailo, Doctor of Biological Sciences, head of the Biomet laboratory at Krasnoyarsk Medical University, told TASS about this in an interview.

"We are developing a technique in which magnetic nanoparticles are joined by molecules that work in the human body as a navigator and are sharpened to search for certain mechanoreceptors on cells. When the nanoparticles created by us reach the desired cells, we turn on a weak alternating magnetic field, the cell receptors begin to receive a signal about the beginning of regeneration from the nanoparticles. If such a signal acts on a stem cell, then it begins to divide and differentiate into a certain type of tissue," she said.

According to Anna Kichkailo, the patient will simply be given an injection with a drug containing nanoparticles modified by scientists. These invisible doctors will do all the work. This method can help in the rapid healing of wounds, cartilage and bones.

The scientist also noted that this promising type of high-tech medical care has already been successfully tested on laboratory animals.

Russian Startup Develops Innovative Face Cream From Spider Web Protein, by Sergey Lebediev for SputnikNews. 02.25.2023.

The product promises to trigger a rapid rejuvenation and regeneration process within 1-2 weeks and help with such skin issues as large pores and post-acne scars.

A cream with proteins from cobwebs that reportedly heals and rejuvenates the skin and fights imperfections has been developed by a student startup in Russia's Saint Petersburg, Sputnik was told by the National Technology Initiative (NTI) Platform.

"SilkIns startup from the Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics (ITMO) has developed cobweb-based proteins that can be added to creams to heal cuts and eliminate skin defects and acne by stimulating intracellular processes in one to two weeks. Work on the solution is being carried out as a part of the accelerator of the federal project 'University Technological Entrepreneurship Platform'," NTI representatives stated.

According to the scientists, the cream is based on a protein obtained from the silk of tarantulas and silkworms. The spider proteins increase the rate of formation of new cells.

According to the researchers, this cream heals cuts and burns, removes age spots and rejuvenates the skin in a couple of weeks. The development has already passed in vitro studies and has proven its effectiveness.

"Today there are a lot of foreign manufacturers of regenerative cosmetics on the market, about 80%. Therefore, we decided to create our own, Russian products. This is important, because every year the environment is deteriorating, and the skin, as the largest organ in the human body is being negatively impacted from the outside,” said the founder of the startup, Daudy Dauddin.

At the moment, the company has already manufactured the first product line and is in the process of getting a patent in the Russian Federation. In the summer, the startup plans to open its own laboratory for the production of proteins and apply for an international patent.

The first building of the new Lomonosov science & technology cluster of the Moscow State University looks to have been completed.

One of the new campuses that will soon be under construction. This one is a common campus for multiple universities in the city of Ufa; including the Bashkir State Medical University, the Bashkir State Agrarian University, the Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, the Bashkir State Pedagogical University, and the Ufa University of Science & Technology. Each of these institutes has their own buildings around the city, but this campus complex is situated in close proximity to most of them, and contains student accommodation and common infrastructure.

Basically, the towers house the student dorms, the circular low structure linking the towers houses auditoriums, labs, gyms, co-working spaces and cafes. An IT park & library building is adjacent, along with something called a genomics center albeit I don't know what that is.

It also doesn't escape notice that the layout of the towers resembles that of a Quray plant, which is the national symbol of Bashkiria of which this city is the capital. Looking at some of the rooms they appear to have a yurt-like layout as well.

The new School of Arts for artistically gifted kids (as well as some children of SVO veterans) in Sevastopol that Putin visited a week ago right before leaving for Mariupol. There will be applicants for it from all over the country. A range of experts from across many fields will be tutoring pupils there. Painting, pottery, theater, music, you name it. Towards the end of the video you can see the plans for a whole cluster of various buildings and objects planned for this area, of which this school is but one of them. Various museums, parks, an amphitheater and local architectural sites make up the balance, with the school itself tucked away about 100m to the side and back, outside the path of tourists.

The new 93,000 sq. meter cultural-educational complex on Russky Island off Vladivostok has mostly finished construction by now, still 2-3 buildings left, but the music school part of it at least is already set for its admissions campaign next month.

The complex as a whole consists of the Central Music high-school rated for 550 pupils in total, starting from 12 y/o. There will be housing for 250 of them who will be admitted from across the Russian Far East, with the remainder presumably being local pupils from Vladivostok.
The complex also includes a branch of the Moscow State Academy of Choreography, alternatively known as the world-renowned Bolshoi Ballet Academy. This is a higher-education institution for 17-18 y/o students and up. The academy is rated for 250 students and will house all of them on the premises.
There will also be apartment-housing for teachers and other employees as part of the complex.

Sakhalin State University won a federal grant for a new campus with its project in the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, which has now been approved by a city commission.

It's a small university, a post-WW2 one, whose main value is the close links it has forged with South Korean and Japanese universities. The new campus will be quite small too. Just 1500 people which includes not only students but also teachers. It will make a great university town. Nature extends in all directions outside the small city, with some ski resorts right nearby too.

New school being constructed in Ekaterinburg. It's a combined primary and secondary school for the ages of 7-17. It should be ready by 2025.

What makes it special is that.. well that it's not special in any way really, except for being on the larger side. Not a private school, or one for gifted kids, or part of some creative cluster or whatever.
Perhaps it's some kind of pilot project for a new format but either way it's an entirely ordinary school and presumably other schools according to this standard will be built in the rest of the country too, which bodes well as everything here seems to be planned for to the highest standard.

I know Poland spent billions on these air defenses and they might be re-evaluating their lives. And the Zircon which is far more difficult to intercept than the kinzhal with brand new stealth submarines that can fire them underwater from 1000kms via satellite tracking carrying 30-40 of them is going cause some anxiety in case people want to get a Navy involved later.

Some News.

MOSCOW, May 11. /TASS/. Russian specialists are already working on the Venera-V mission, which will be able to deliver soil and atmosphere samples from Venus. This was reported to TASS in the press service of Roscosmos.

Specialists of the Roscosmos State Corporation and the Russian Academy of Sciences are working on the possibility of returning to Earth samples of soil, atmosphere and aerosols of Venus (the Venera-V mission)," the press service noted.

As specified in the state corporation, the concept of the mission involves the consistent launch of completely new search-and-return and landing spacecraft.

In mid-May 2020, the scientific director of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Lev Zeleny, told TASS that a new Venus exploration program would be developed in the Russian Federation, including the dispatch of at least three scientific vehicles. According to the scientist, the first expedition under the program will be Venera-D. Its launch, according to government materials for a visit by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin to the NGO. S. A. Lavochkin, planned after 2030. The previous comprehensive program for the exploration of Venus was carried out in the USSR

And this is taking place around the country, there's actually another of those super-modern schools being constructed right next door to where I used to live to replace an old Soviet-era one there; and this is an entirely ordinary suburb populated by working class people and its share of immigrants from Central Asia too; not some rich central historical area of St. Petersburg or one of the new expensive suburbs nearer to the Finnish gulf

Also, construction has just started of a Nakhimov naval boarding school in Mariupol. Certainly beats having this, over having Azov Nazis come to your school to give talks to the kids and show off their swastika tattoos as it was under Ukrainian rule there the last few years.

The village of Tomarovka in the Belgorod region got a new sports complex, courtesy of Gazprom. It's equipped for volleyball, basketball, badminton and 5-a-side football. I put it here as it's quite typical of the sports complexes that get constructed for small settlements around the country, whether by state corporations or by the local authorities. Sometimes they're more focused on martial arts, sometimes on team sports, sometimes gymnastics, swimming pools - it depends.

KAMAZ HAS SOLD A THOUSAND K5 GENERATION FLAGSHIPS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR
11 May 2023

The Sales Unit reported that since the beginning of this year, KAMAZ sellers have supplied consumers with a thousand KAMAZ-54901 tractors, the flagships of the K5 generation.

Despite the consequences of the sanctions pressure – the termination of the supply of components from a number of countries, KAMAZ did not stop the production of the flagship of the new model range: before the restart of production of this model on a new component base, 150 trucks indexed 54901 came off the assembly line every month. Auto components from stock were used in their production.

In parallel, during 2022, the company's specialists worked on the localization of imported components, a lot of work was done with alternative Russian suppliers and suppliers from friendly countries. Only for the KAMAZ-54901 truck, the company's engineers had to re-master more than two thousand items. As a result, in February 2023, the first updated freight truck was assembled at the truck assembly plant. The serial production of KAMAZ-54901 trucks was launched on a new sanctions-resistant component base with improved technical characteristics. At the moment, more than 30 such vehicles roll off the assembly line every day.

Since the beginning of January this year, as of May 10, 1 thousand trucks of the newest line have been sold. The release of this version of K5 trucks no longer depends on the supply of components from unfriendly countries. The development of the KAMAZ-54901 truck on a new component base has become one of the illustrative examples of the work of Russian specialists in import phasing-out and a confident step made by the company to strengthen the technological sovereignty of Russia.

In addition, the new version of the KAMAZ-54901 truck tractor has improved consumer properties. The vehicle is equipped with modified cooling, exhaust gas aftertreatment, electrical systems, on-board information system, suspension of the cab and the entire heavy truck. The new K5 truck has a renewed automatic transmission, drive axle, pneumatic system, and other components. Also, the updated model has improved ride smoothness, reduced fuel consumption. An additional noise-insulating layer is provided on the cabin doors.

The KAMAZ-54901 truck tractor is the first model of the K5 generation truck line. It is a bright flagship for long-haul transportation, combining an attractive exterior with the highest performance, safety and comfort. The model was put on the market in 2020 and in a short time won the trust of consumers, becoming especially in demand in the cargo transportation market. The high demand is due to a number of undeniable advantages. The vehicle is equipped with a new KAMAZ-910.15-450 (Euro-5) engine with a working volume of 12 liters, a power of 450 hp and a torque of 2300 Nm. The use of modern high-tech design solutions made it possible to increase the service interval to 120 thousand km, and the engine life to 1.5 million km, while reducing fuel consumption by 10% compared to the previous generation truck. The tractor is also equipped with a new 12-speed automated gearbox, which has a low noise level, high efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.

A fundamentally new spacious truck cab with an absolutely flat floor, two sleeping berths meets all modern requirements: when creating it, a bet was placed on ergonomics, the driver’s convenience and comfort. The cabin is equipped with a multimedia system with a 10" touchscreen display, with the functions of a navigator, radio, hands-free communication systems, music playback, online or offline video viewing, truck parameter control, control of the cabin heater and preheater.

RUMINT is that the grenade mortars on the Afghanit can also launch fragmentation rounds apart from special obscurant grenades. With complete hemispheric coverage in visual and UV/IR defending against kamikaze drones should be a breeze. Not to mention pop-up short range threats like RPG teams firing from behind cover or just ATGMs in general.

Now the only real problem is countering roving landmines...

No the classic mine clearing technologies no longer suffice. Mine rollers and trawlers do jack shit against mines layed behind, to the flanks, or right on top of the assault column. Its also damn near impossible to keep the demining vehicle intact when its leading the formation and bearing the brunt of enemy fire. They also slow the entire group to a crawl and prevent the combat elements from spreading out and deploying as much of their firepower.

We need an APS for mines. A combined multichannel - visual/thermal/radar sensor that looks for mines and low threats, and a bow mount weapon either an HMG or a GL to take out those threats from afar. This would severely limit the possible damage from remotely laid mines and allow the assault group to assume proper attack formation and actually use their firepower and mobility as efficiently as they can.

KBP: Russia is testing a new Hermes missile system to destroy armored vehicles.

MOSCOW, May 22 - RIA Novosti. Russia continues testing a new multifunctional missile system "Hermes" to destroy armored vehicles, structures and aircraft, RIA Novosti was told in the press service of the KBP (part of the holding "High-precision systems" of the state corporation "Rostec").

"The Hermes complex is being tested. The decision on the delivery will be made based on the test results," the company said.

They added that "work on the modernization of the Hermes complex continues, taking into account changes in the situation and tasks."

The Hermes complex is designed to destroy modern and advanced tanks, armored vehicles, structures, surface targets and low-speed aircraft at a distance of up to 100 kilometers. The basic version of the rocket has a speed of up to 1.3 thousand meters per second and has a high-explosive fragmentation warhead of 28 kilograms.

"Hermes" can be mounted on any vehicle chassis of medium or large tonnage. The missiles of the complex have a high accuracy of destruction. The ammunition flies to the target, first due to navigation signals from the ground, then according to the data of the onboard inertial navigation system. Arriving at the target area, the missile captures it with its own homing head.


Russian company develops 1st airplane-type kamikaze drone with jet engine, 04.22.2023.

The Russian company Bespilotnye Apparaty (unmanned vehicles, in English) presented a prototype kamikaze FPV drone of the K-5 jet plane type at an exhibition in Moscow, Sputnik correspondent reported.

FPV stands for first-person view, that is, when it comes to operating an FPV drone, essentially it means that the operators of these drones see what the drone sees, transmitting the image through a wireless connection and viewing devices such as glasses. Traditional drones differ from this in that they are piloted through the perspective of the operator on the ground.

"We created a jet drone for speed. Maneuvering capabilities allow you to move at such a speed, " said a representative of the developer company.

The drone is equipped with artificial intelligence and computer vision to detect thermal signatures and visual images.

According to the representative of the company, the operator will have to direct the kamikaze drone to the target location area, while the on-board system itself will direct it to a specific target.

The drone is equipped with a turbojet system, allowing the device to fly at a distance of up to 90 km. The maximum speed of the aerial vehicle is 400 km/h, the cruising speed is 200 km/h.the mass of the payload is six kilograms.

The drone is launched from a catapult of fast installation on the ground or through a device with a solid propellant. Previously it had not been reported about the development of FPV kamikaze drones of the jet engine aircraft type in Russia.

Russian automakers will receive domestic ABS from July 1.

In Kostroma, assembly of domestic ABS will be established. From July 1, they will be delivered to Russian automakers.

Russia's first production of anti-lock braking systems (ABS) will be launched in Kostroma, RIA Novosti reports , citing Vasily Shpak, deputy head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. From July 1, they will be delivered to domestic automobile companies.

Vasily Shpak noted that Russian companies have already managed to replace the import of electronic control units, harness products and partially sensors for the automotive industry. At the same time, it is planned to further increase the percentage of Russian components and localize the missing electronic architecture.

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) prevents the vehicle from locking up when braking. Its main purpose is to maintain stability and controllability.

In 2022, Russian car factories faced a severe shortage of ABS and ESP systems, which, among other things, became one of the reasons for the suspension of production. To solve this problem, the authorities had to introduce a simplified technical regulation, which allowed not to install these systems on new cars.

Earlier, Autonews.ru reported that Russia began a phased return of technical requirements for imported and domestically produced cars. From June 1, all cars assembled in Russia must comply with the environmental standard of at least Euro-2. And from December 1, 2023, cars will be required to install an anti-lock braking system (ABS).

Kalashnikov’s Camouflage Cloak for Tanks: What is It and How Does It Work?, by Ilya Tsukanov for Sputnikglobe.com. 06.29.2023.

The NATO-Russia proxy conflict in Ukraine has proven that the principles of tank warfare developed during the Second World War and perfected during the Cold War remain as relevant as ever, with updates to tactics made largely to account for new technologies, among them radar-absorbent materials.

Russian defense enterprises have begun the mass deployment of the "Nakidka" (lit. "Cloak"), a three-tiered radar absorbent camouflage system that can provide protection to tanks, armored fighting vehicles, fortifications, and other structures from enemy precision weapons.

The Nakidka protection system has “begun to be delivered to the customer for use in combat conditions,” Russian defense giant Kalashnikov Concern said in a press release last week. “A number of domestic engineering enterprises have already received the first Nakidka samples from the Scientific Research Institute of Steel to equip tanks with this means of protection,” the release added.

What Fueled Creation of Radar-Absorbent Materials?

Recognition of the need for radar-absorbent material-based camouflage first emerged in the aftermath of World War II thanks to the creation and proliferation of guided missile systems. The development of early anti-aircraft homing missile technology in the 1950s, which operated by locking on to heat generated by a plane’s engines, gave rise to the earliest forms of defenses against these weapons: flares and sleek airframes designed to reduce the aircraft’s radar cross section (RCS).

In the 1970s and 1980s, engineers experimented with a new generation of radar-absorbing materials made available through advances in chemistry, including carbonyl iron and ferrite coatings, foam absorbers, and carbon nanotubes. Due to their expense, radar-absorbing materials were originally fitted only to aircraft, not ground vehicles.

The tide began to turn in the 2000s, with scientists from Russia, the US, and other major powers developing inexpensive radar-absorbing cloaks that could cover vehicles, drones, aircraft, and even warships or buildings.

Nakidka’s Characteristics

Among them was the Nakidka, a ferrite-based passive protection system first unveiled in the mid-2000s, and designed to protect against electromagnetic emissions in the 0.5-50 GHz range, and to reduce electromagnetic field emissions to between 10-30 dB (for those reflecting from the fabric) and up to 100 dB (those passing through it).

Putting it another way, the Nakidka prevents heat generated during a vehicle’s operation from showing up on radar, with the vehicle’s exterior maintaining an ambient temperature. Meanwhile, the cloak’s radar-absorbing layer reduces signals sent by enemy snoopers from being pinged back.

The passive protection system, which effectively conceals the tank’s thermal, infrared, and radar signatures, is easy to deploy and use, with custom kits featuring 10 separate components for the turret, engine compartment, frontal and side armor, etc. being made available.

The Nakidka protects equipment from detection by a variety of enemy systems, including radar and thermal imaging systems on board satellites, aerial or ground-based radar, anti-tank missiles’ optical and radar-seeking guidance systems, etc. Additionally, the system is designed to provide for improved traditional camouflage protection using special enamels.

According to the developers’ tests, the Nakidka reduces detection using infrared homing by a factor of two to three times, and detection across all radar ranges by six or more times. Detection using traditional optics or night vision drops by 30 percent.

Lightweight and Light on the Wallet

The Nakidka is light, approximately 8-10 mm in thickness, weighs about 2 kg per square meter, and is resistant to small arms fire and flame. The system is also light on the wallet, costing about $2,675 apiece in 2005, a real bargain given the three-pronged protection the system provides, and the fact that every effectively cloaked tank can mean saved lives.

Experience in the Field

Reports of the Nakidka’s deployment in Ukraine began to filter through in the spring 2022, with OSINT sleuths finding camouflage cloaks laid over Russian T-90M Proryv (lit. "Breakthrough") tanks. A source confirmed to Russian media in April 2022 that Russian tankers had used camouflage cloaks to reduce their vehicles’ thermal radiation signature, although the Russian military never formally confirmed this information at the time.

Russian scientists have found a way to move from electronics to photonics, 06.14.2023.

Physicists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have studied the optical properties of boron nitride (an indispensable component for two-dimensional materials) and found that it has a record refractive index in ultraviolet light. This means that the material can become the basis for developments in the field of nanophotonics, in particular, to replace electronic components in computer integrated circuits.

To demonstrate the practical application of boron nitride, scientists designed a nanometer waveguide that showed high efficiency. The work has been published in Materials Horizons.

Photonic devices transmit information using photons and may soon replace electronic ones, since light travels much faster than electrons, and during signal propagation in this case there are no losses and heating due to the resistance of the conductor material. However, the minimum size of photonic elements is limited by the wavelength of the transmitted light. To create nanometer devices, it is necessary to use materials that transmit ultraviolet waves, the length of which is less than 300 nanometers. Moreover, the material must have a high refractive index to further compress the wave, and be affordable: inexpensive and easy to manufacture. Physicists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology are looking for compounds that satisfy all of these conditions.

“The index of refraction is very important in photonics. The higher it is for a material, the higher the efficiency of devices made from it, the easier it is to control light. Thanks to this, a whole area of research is now actively developing - highly refractive materials. - says Researcher at the Center for Photonics and Two-Dimensional Materials of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

In their latest work, MIPT scientists investigated the optical properties of hexagonal boron nitride hBN and found that it has the highest refractive index in the ultraviolet region. Physicists have also developed optical elements based on boron nitride: a nanometer waveguide and a chiral mirror.

Despite the use of the material in two-dimensional nanophotonics and optoelectronics, its optical properties have been studied in a rather narrow wavelength range. This is partly due to the small size of boron nitride samples, which makes experimental measurements difficult. Physicists from MIPT were able to determine the refractive index and anisotropy of matter in a wide range from 250 to 1700 nanometers using ellipsometry and scanning optical microscopy. The maximum value of the refractive index in ultraviolet light at a length of 250 nanometers was 2.75, which makes it possible to create photonic elements of the order of tens of nanometers. Such tiny devices can be used in photonic integrated circuits of computers instead of electronic components.

To show the practical possibilities of boron nitride, physicists designed a 40-nanometer waveguide - a channel that carries light. Computer simulations have shown that light propagates in a waveguide with virtually no optical loss, without attenuation. The scientists also created a model of a chiral mirror from boron nitride - a device that reflects polarized light twisted in one direction and transmits light twisted in the other. The mirror will help to distinguish biomolecules that have the same composition and structure, but are asymmetric. For example, such a device is needed in pharmacology, since the described chiral molecules can have different properties.

Low optical losses, a high anisotropy index, and a record refractive index in ultraviolet light make boron nitride a promising material for creating nanophotonic devices.

“UV nanophotonics is in its infancy: you need to reduce the wavelength of light in order to reduce the size of photonic devices. We have shown that boron nitride is an excellent platform for this, since, in addition to its high refractive index, it also has giant optical anisotropy, which also increases its efficiency. And low optical losses allow information to be transmitted over long distances with virtually no attenuation. We have finally found a bridge that would allow us to move from electronics to photonics, that is, to use the advantages of a photon over an electron. Now we are working to show this superiority already in a real photonic integrated circuit . - comments Researcher at the Center for Photonics and Two-Dimensional Materials of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

1. A shopping center with an area of about 50,000 square meters was purchased for the production of "Lancets". Not a penny of funds from the Russian budget has been spent on the deployment of this production.
2. A series of combat tests on the fully automatic use of the Lancet UAV has already been conducted.
3. The next generation of "Lancet" will be integrated into swarm, which uses automatic identification and distribution of targets within swarm.
4. The production of "Lancets" has increased by more than 50 times since the beginning of the SVO.
5. Currently, several "Lancets" are already ready for each unit of armored vehicles that Western countries promise to deliver to Ukraine in the future.
6. Currently, there are more than 400 confirmed cases of hitting targets using Lancet UAVs in open sources alone. One of the combat crews claims that they have more than 90 pieces of destroyed equipment on their account - from pickups to radar stations and tanks.
7. Currently, there is interest in export orders of "Lancets" from customers from several continents. Negotiations are underway, but in any case, the main priority is supplies for the Russian army.

Example of a neural network.

The newest technology is Lancet with Convolutional Neural Networking. This is not quite AI, but allows the drone to go into a closed loop mode, where the drones on board computer has an image preloaded on a database, and as the optical sensors capture images, they are run against the database through a system of algorithms to return a positive or negative identification. If the drone registers say a Leopard silhouette, Bradley or a Pzh-2000, the drone will home in on the target once the neural network returns a positive ID. It's essentially a form of image recognition and homing method. You cannot jam such a drone as it is closed loop and not utilizing classical radio control, or any kind of command guidance, nor radar.
You can only shoot the drone down. We can say Russia is the first state in the world to employ convolutional neural networking in an active combat zone, maybe only Israel has used them against Palestine, but this is the first use in high intensity battle.
