US military researchers are testing a prototype of puncture- and deflation-free "airless" tires designed for non-stop passage of military SUVs through "hot zones" of hostilities. If implemented successfully, the new technology can be extended to civilian models, replacing traditional car tires.

The advantages of cellular tires are obvious, but scientists will spend a lot of effort looking for an appropriate material that can withstand the pressure of a multi-ton war machine.

Cellulars can be not only phones, but also buses

Resilient Technologies' "Non-Pneumatic Tire" (NPT) will allow Army SUVs to continue driving even after up to 30% of the tire honeycomb has been destroyed. In April 2009, Resilient installed 94-centimeter NPT tires on an Army All-Terrain Vehicle of the Vozo, Wisconsin National Guard, which is currently being road tested.

Two years have already been spent on the development of tires, Infuture. RU reports. The company ran static load tests on one of the NPT prototypes. It withstood a maximum load of 1,746 kg, which meets the requirements of the military. Stressing the plastic provides strength, allowing airless tires to operate just like air-filled tires.

Provincial, peripheral, but also Lend-Lease

According to the Dutch account, on May 15, 1945, the last group of cargoes from the Netherlands East Indies (since 1949 - Indonesia) arrived in Vladivostok (in the photo - the port during the war) as part of lend-lease goods from the USA, Canada and Australia. The received consignment of goods contained tin ore, cobalt

Another Lend-Lease. Guardsman but English, Churchill but not Winston

About the hero of today's story, the man in whose honor the tank is named said: "The tank that bears my name has more flaws than myself." At least many authors attribute this phrase to Sir Winston Leonard Churchill. British Army Colonel, Prime Minister

But Russia not only fought with the Polovtsy: from the history of Russian-Polovtsian relations

In the centuries-old history of the confrontation between Russia and the Steppe, a special place is occupied by the long, confusing and extremely contradictory relationship of our ancestors with the nomadic people, who entered Russian chronicles under the name of the Polovtsy. The Russian princes not only fought with them. There were also periods when not only fought

"Don't just land, but also shoot when crossing the sea!"

This is how interestingly history has ordered: during the Second World War, Soviet troops practically did not have to land amphibious assault forces, but our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition had to land them almost constantly. And it should be noted that the US armed forces and
