In January 2017, Dmitry Medvedev announced the development by the Cabinet of Ministers of a new program for the development of the military-industrial complex for 2018-2025. It should also include the technological modernization of the production capacities of defense enterprises. Procurement of foreign equipment makes it difficult

At the AAD exhibition in 2014, the Ingwe portable anti-tank complex with laser-guided missiles was installed on the Badger 8x8 armored vehicle. The pre-production model of the complex was manufactured in 2015, and serial production began last year, after many years of shortage of personnel and

Not exactly Roscosmos, of course. NPO of measuring technology, which is located at a very famous address in the city of Korolev. The history of NPO of measuring technology began 50 years ago. In 1946, simultaneously with the design bureau of S.P. Korolev, as part of the lead institute for rocket and space

Once again, plunging into the problems of our space industry, once again I am convinced that a broom is needed. From steel wire, in order to drive the "effective" to hell.
