` `The composition of the participants at & nbsp; us is traditional, & nbsp; & mdash; noted Vladimir Putin. & mdash; & nbsp; It is the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the main organizations in the defense industry. This format allows on a regular basis & nbsp; to thoroughly analyze the state of Russia's defense capability & nbsp; and, if necessary, to timely adjust, update the plans of & nbsp; modernization of the army and the & nbsp; navy & raquo;.
The first meeting was devoted to the VKS and the Navy. “Reconciliation of hours” takes place in the & nbsp; background of the activation of hostile forces in the direction of & nbsp; South West. “ Now an American ship has entered the Black Sea. We can watch it & nbsp; in & nbsp; binoculars or in & nbsp; view of the corresponding defense systems, & nbsp; & mdash; Putin remarked emphatically. Following the destroyer Porter in the & nbsp; Black Sea for carrying out certain “ NATO operations in the & nbsp; region & # 39; & # 39; another US Navy ship, the flagship of the 6th Fleet, the Mount Whitney, also moved.

Simultaneously to & nbsp; this marked an increase in tension on the line of confrontation between the Donbass republics and & nbsp; Armed Forces & nbsp; Ukraine. Many military analysts have been alarmed that a Turkish-made Bayraktar drone was first used against militias. It is believed that thanks in large part to these drones, Azerbaijan defeated the Nagorno-Karabakh army a year ago.
“ Although this is only a test of strength, & nbsp; & mdash; says & bdquo; AIF & ldquo; military expert Alexey Leonkov. & mdash; & nbsp; Ukraine will buy 62 & nbsp; Turkish drones, so real problems for & nbsp; LPR and & nbsp; DPR will begin when the Ukrainian army prepares qualified calculations for them '.
The worsening of the situation in the & nbsp; Donbass started in & nbsp; October after Kiev detained a representative of the LPR at & nbsp; Joint control and & nbsp; coordination of the ceasefire. Since & nbsp; since the dialogue between Kiev and & nbsp; Lugansk at & nbsp; “ Minsk format '' has been suspended.

The company explained that the changes are a rejection of mass identification methods in favor of narrower forms of personal identification.
It is to be noted that the use of the facial recognition feature requires further discussion and clear regulation. In particular, the company will continue to work on the use of technology in areas where the user himself can control his face recognition.

In & nbsp;, Russia will develop kamikaze drone technology to protect the country's sea borders from offending ships. The new system will include reconnaissance drones and several types of kamikaze drones. However, their & nbsp; clear objectives and & nbsp; tasks are unknown and & nbsp; do not even become clear when analyzing the capabilities of these drones. The Russian army is once again a secret, giving free rein to fantasy. The introduction of & nbsp; & nbsp; such a system is marked with a & nbsp; source in the & nbsp; military-industrial complex.
The new system will include reconnaissance drones. They are also called kamikaze drones, or “patrol munitions”. In essence, it is a projectile that performs continuous controlled flight over the battlefield and explodes upon hitting the target. It should be noted that kamikaze drones will be able to launch both from coastal launchers and installations on Russian ships. Several components of this system have already been tested.
One of the main advantages of using drones is the low cost of operation, as floating rounds are cheaper than anti-ship missiles. In the opinion of experts, kamikaze drones are capable of incapacitating even ships of the class of frigates or destroyers due to damage to observation systems, control systems and weapon complexes. Such a system should drastically reduce the desire of other countries to invade Russia's water space.
Perhaps the kamikaze drones of the new system will not sink ships, because they will be equipped with a small load. They will explode, but & nbsp; that way they won't physically damage the offender's ships, but will cause them to turn away. However, then it is not too bright, will this cause & nbsp; damage to someone else's ship, & nbsp; can it be likened to a & nbsp; attack, & nbsp; will it be a pretext for & nbsp; ; war.
Presumably ammunition is designed only to intimidate intruders and create annoyance. It's not too enjoyable to navigate alien waters when a drone blows up next to you. Such psychological pressure can at least make one think about the advisability of going further.
In general, the military highly appreciates the very idea of suicide drones. Thus, Japanese experts qualify self-exploding unmanned aerial vehicles as very promising. According to & nbsp; their & nbsp; notice, they are able to stay in & nbsp; the airs for a long time, from going unnoticed by the enemy to & nbsp; high speed towards the & nbsp; target and hit from above. It is difficult to defend against & nbsp; weapons with & nbsp; such capabilities.
More than 80 countries around the world, including the US and 27 EU countries, have announced plans to reduce their methane emissions by 30% by 2030, said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the Glasgow climate summit on November 2./p>
