In 2 weeks, Poland intends to launch Operation Safe Podlasie, which will involve about 17,000 troops. Main theses: Poland intends to launch a military operation called “Safe Podlasie” on the border with Belarus, involving 17,000 troops. The operation has had a positive effect on the border: the number of illegal crossing attempts has decreased, and […]
The fastest masonry robot, Hadrian X, has started building houses in Florida (USA). It is equipped with a 32-meter-long telescopic arm and is capable of building up to 10 houses in one cycle. The Hadrian X, developed in Australia by FBR (formerly Fastbrick Robotics), was first presented as a prototype in 2015. Back then, the […]
Experts from Ukraine have developed the latest portable electronic warfare system to effectively suppress enemy drones. Weighing 10 kilograms, the device is compact and can operate autonomously for up to 5 hours, making it convenient for use in the field. The system is equipped with combined conventional and digital “sub-protocol” modules. This allows it to […]
The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to send the Ramses spacecraft to track the asteroid Apophis as it approaches our planet on April 13, 2029. The 375-meter-diameter asteroid will fly at a distance of only 32,000 kilometers from Earth – closer than some satellites in orbit. Despite its close passage, Apophis does not pose a […]
The team of the Center for Innovation and Development of Defense Technologies of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine proved the possibility of sharing a complete operational picture between different NATO member states and NATO-developed systems. About DELTA This is a situational awareness platform created by the Center for Innovation and Development of Defense Technologies […]
In addition to the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, and Norway, another European country may provide Ukraine with F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets. We are talking about Greece. This was reported by a source to Al Jazeera. Greece plans to decommission 32 F-16 Block-30 aircraft. Most likely, they will then be sent to the United States for […]
Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland) have created a drone capable of landing on vertical supports. The developed drone, called PercHug, copies the gecko landing technique. Drones that can cling to trees already exist. But their landing methods typically involve claws, spikes, and grappling. Engineers, on the other hand, sought a passive […]
One of the Russian Shahed drones launched in Ukraine exploded in Belarus. Analysts from the Belaruski Gayun group said that the incident took place on the night of Tuesday, July 16. According to preliminary data, the Shahed barrage munition entered Belarusian airspace around 08:40. It probably crashed in the Zhovtnevy district of the Gomel region. […]
Roketsan Group (Turkey) has started mass production of a new generation cruise missile ÇAKIR. The new aircraft is compact (it weighs 270 kg, is 3.3 m long and has a fuselage diameter of 27 cm). These parameters make the development of Turkish engineers one of the lightest and most convenient for transportation of cruise missiles […]
Scientists from Europe have made a breakthrough in the development of materials for harvesting energy directly on chips. The new research could lead to more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly electronic devices. A research team from Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom has created a germanium-tin alloy that can convert the heat generated by processors into […]
