How quickly can ordinary people develop the design and body structure of an army multi-purpose vehicle? This question was the goal of the Experimental Crowd-derived Combat-support Vehicle Design Challenge (XC2V), which was held in February-March of this year by DARPA

The combat capability of an army depends not only on tanks, aircraft, rocket launchers and various types of small arms. Success in the conduct of hostilities largely depends on the mobility of subunits and logistic support. A tank without fuel turns into a pile of useless metal. Cannon or

In the 1930s, a rather rapid development of reinforced concrete construction began in the USSR. At the same time, they gradually began to move away from monolithic reinforced concrete in the direction of prefabricated structures. The main advantage of prefabricated structures was the possibility of manufacturing at landfills or factories of standard

Many units need protected vehicles, but it is far from always advisable to purchase full-fledged armored vehicles. In some cases, it makes sense to build protected equipment on the basis of ready-made serial trucks, which allows you to ensure an acceptable balance of various characteristics and

Electronic warfare is conducted strictly according to science. Over the past three years, the Armed Forces have made a significant leap forward in both rearmament and combat training.

The military department of the university, where I studied, trained the commanders of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system. We studied the electronics of the command post on a working mock-up simulator, and in order to demonstrate a real air defense system, we were taken on an excursion to a military unit. The real command post S-300

We didn’t have to wait long. A few minutes later, KamAZ-63968, aka Typhoon-K, drove to the site in person. The angular shapes of this armored car at first made it possible to suspect a "shushpanzer" in it - this is how various kinds of self-made
