Science and technology, explained simply
AIM Defense has introduced the Fractl:2 laser, which is capable of burning through steel and destroying drones traveling at 100 km/h at a distance of several kilometers. It can be controlled remotely. When fully charged, the Fractl:2 portable laser has enough power to shoot down 50 drones or can run continuously when plugged in. AIM […]
Chinese scientists from the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (China) have reported the development of a new drone consisting of several modules, which allows it to split into smaller independent drones in flight. Such a system is capable of capturing enemy airspace and attacking air defense systems. The drone can be divided into 2, […]
General Dynamics has announced the creation of a robotic air defense system with the TRX autonomous control system. The development demonstrates a significant leap forward in the development of air defense and offers a dual approach to effectively neutralize air threats. The TRX SHORAD system is equipped with remote-controlled weapons. The station has one 30-mm […]
Since 2022, the two main elements of the US missile defense system in Europe, Aegis Ashore, have been fully operational in Europe, deployed in Poland and Romania Against the backdrop of the Kremlin’s constant threats of using nuclear weapons to strike Ukraine, it is worth mentioning that the United States has deployed a top-level missile […]
The task of destroying the Crimean bridge, even for countries with significant long-range capabilities and powerful air forces, will not be easy, provided that only conventional weapons are used The practical aspect of the destruction of the Crimean bridge again surfaced through the wiretapping of the Bundeswehr Air Force Inspector (a position similar to the […]
The U.S. Navy is working to strengthen its non-kinetic shield by deploying next-generation non-kinetic anti-ship and anti-missile defense capabilities. Along with the Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP), the Navy is also procuring AN/ALQ-248 Advanced Offboard Electronic Warfare (AOEW) systems for helicopters and ships. The SEWIP includes electronic attack capabilities from Northrop Grumman and Lockheed […]

The Griffon is designed primarily to provide fire support to infantry units, especially in close contact scenarios. Its self-propelled system, combined with the Griffon’s […]
Military engineers have proposed the concept of a new type of laser weapon, with interchangeable magazines, like an assault rifle, but instead of bullets, the clips will contain charged batteries. The military has realized that air defense systems are unprofitable to use against cheap drones: to shoot down a $2,000 drone, you have to fire […]
