Strategic scale
Altius-RU (Reconnaissance and Strike) is classified as a heavy drone, it is one of the three large strike drones currently under development in Russia. Altius' tasks include patrolling large areas for several days. The only drone that performs such tasks today & mdash; US strategic UAV RQ-4 Global Hawk. Additionally, Altius-RU capable of carrying various payloads, including a weapon complex. The main element of the drone & mdash; High resolution active phase array radar (AFAR). Thanks to him, the unmanned complex is able to perform the full range of reconnaissance missions. & Nbsp;
In addition, the drone will be able to use aviation weapons, including guided ones. It is assumed that as a weapon the drone will be able to carry “ Thunder-2 '' hover bombs. with a total mass of 598 kg (mass of a warhead 480 kg) and a launch range of 10-50 km or guided missiles “ Grom-1 '' launch weight 594 kg (warhead weight 315 kg) with a launch range of up to 120 km. This summer, the military department announced a test complex of a drone with a full line of controlled weapons. & Nbsp;
Who is the manufacturer
Drone “ Altius '' (also called “ Altair & # 39; & # 39;) since 2011, the Kazan design office named Simonov is developing by order of the Defense Ministry. Its flight tests began in the summer of 2016. At the end of 2018, the military department decided to change contractors and transferred the project to the Civil Aviation Factory of the Civil Aviation Authority. 39; Ural (UZGA). In August 2019, the Defense Ministry released images of the Altius-U drone's first flight. The flight took place at one of the test airfields at an altitude of 800 meters and lasted 32 minutes. All systems in the complex were operating in normal mode. At the same time, the ministry said the UAV was capable of performing the full range of reconnaissance missions using optical, radio and radar equipment and staying in line. Air for more than a day. In December of the same year, the ministry and UZGA signed a contract for the development of a drone in its final form: Altius-RU. In February 2021, the Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the supply of the first batch of Altius-RU strike drones.
Features
New Russian unmanned aerial vehicle 'Altius' built according to the classic aerodynamic design with a high wing radius and V-shaped tail. Altius is known to be built using composite structural materials. Refers to long-flight medium-altitude heavy class drones. The take-off weight of the vehicle is around 6 tons, it can carry over a ton of payload. The wingspan is 28.5m, the length and mdash; 11.6 m, flight height and mdash; 12,000 m, range & mdash; up to 10,000 km. Altius, equipped with two turboprop engines, can stay in the air for up to 48 hours. The aircraft is equipped with the SP-2 inertial navigation system, which reduces the possibility of its detection in flight and provides additional resistance to induced interference. The drone can be controlled by satellite, which makes the scope of its use virtually unlimited. The combat radius of the UAV is approximately 3.5 thousand km.
Artificial Intelligence
It is assumed that the 'Altius' drone will receive elements of artificial intelligence. They will give the device new abilities, including the ability to attack ground targets on its own. After receiving the coordinates of the target, the drone, using its on-board computer, will be able to compose an algorithm to find the optimal route to the target of the attack, and also calculate the most point. suitable for dropping bombs. The drone will be able to do all of this without the assistance of the operator, while the combat drone will receive in real time all the information from the headquarters on the air situation and the location of the air defense installations. enemies and build their flight, processing incoming information. Once the combat mission is completed, the heavy drone will be able to return to base automatically by the safest route or return to the patrol area and continue to perform reconnaissance tasks.

They say land public transport will switch to & nbsp; hydrogen 'batteries' ? And & nbsp; how & nbsp; are electric buses?
Expert response 0 + –
There are already 900 & nbsp; electric buses circulating around Moscow, and & nbsp; in 2 & nbsp; years their & nbsp; number is expected to reach 2.2 & nbsp; thousand. Machines. Water buses can do it & nbsp; competition, but & nbsp; while the manufacturers test the novelty.
According to & nbsp; the words of KamAZ chief Sergey Kogogin, they are now testing equipment and & nbsp; an experimental batch will already be ready in the & nbsp; second half of 2022 & nbsp; g. They can reach speeds of up to & nbsp; 80 & nbsp; km/h. For electric buses 70 & nbsp; km/h & mdash; limit. This means that such transport can be placed on routes within & nbsp; New Moscow, and & nbsp; also between the capital and the region of & nbsp ;. By the way, the water bus tests will take place in Chernogolovka near Moscow, because this is where there is a specialized gas station.

Komsomolskaya metro station by the number of passengers it is considered the busiest, and not Vykhino at all, as many are used to believing.
You don't believe me? Look at the Thousands of Subway Passengers map, which was recently created by city planner Alexei Radchenko and programmer Sergei Turulin (more information on metrostat.ru). The authors used the Moscow open data portal data.mos.ru: the information was collected for the second quarter of the outgoing year, therefore, for example, there is no news section of the Big Circle Line on the map. Among the three 'winners' appear “ Komsomolskaya '' (153 thousand passengers per day), Novogirevo (120 thousand), 3rd place is shared by VDNKh and & # 39; Shchelkovskaya & # 39; (119 thousand people each). At Vykhino & ndash; 4th place (117,000).
But, speaking of congestion, one has to keep in mind not only the individual metro stops, but all of the lines themselves. And here, everything falls into place. By far the Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya metro line (purple) occupies the 1st place. Indeed, in its south-eastern section, 3 & # 39; & # 39; & # 39; Difficult & # 39; & # 39; stations & ndash; Vykhino, Kouzminki and 'Textile Workers'.
As part of the program to build Orthodox churches in Moscow, 119 out of the 200 planned churches have been erected, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia said during a speech. 39; a meeting of the diocese of the city of Moscow on December 22.
The program of building Orthodox churches in the capital initiated by the Patriarch in 2009 and implemented through donations.
As of December 1, 2021, there were 1218 churches and chapels in Moscow, which is 14 more than last year, according to Patriarch Kirill & # 39; s report.
According to the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, 78 churches have been erected and are operating in the Russian capital in 11 years. General construction work has been completed in three churches, 38 more churches are under construction.
“ Thus, 119 of the 200 planned churches have either already been built or are in various stages of construction, i.e. more than 50%. & # 39; & # 39; – said Patriarch Kirill. He added that the program is being implemented on schedule.
At the same time, as Metropolitan Dionysius of the Resurrection said at the meeting, the Moscow Patriarchate & nbsp; over the past three years has allocated more than 2.5 billion rubles for the construction of churches.
At the diocesan meeting, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia also urged the clergy to be patient with the restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus in order to participate in the service. The Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church noted that these measures are temporary and also expressed hope that the restrictions will be lifted in the near future.
Land and Sea Brahmos are already mass-produced and in service with India. In the early 2010s, Brahmos Aerospace began to develop an aeronautical version of the rocket and first launched it in 2017 from an airplane. Airborne Brahmos weighs 2.5 tons & mdash; 450 kilograms less than the first two modifications. It also features a smaller launch motor, additional tail fins, and a modified nose cone. The first supersonic aircraft missile to be armed with Su-30MKI fighters modified for transport will be accepted by Squadron 222 of the Indian Air Force. It should also be used on Tu-142 (6 wing mounted missiles), Il-76 (6 wing mounted missiles) and Il-38SD (4 missiles in the center of the glider).

Developers and Manufacturers
The designation 'BrahMos' comes from the name of the two rivers Brahmaputra in India and Moscow in Russia. The missile is a joint development of the Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and Russian NPO Mashinostroyenia, which in 1998 formed BraMos Aerospace LLC. (Ltd.). Ammunition assembly will take place on the territory of India, the main parts of the missile body will also be created by Indian companies.
A program to modernize 40 fighters to use Brahmos missiles has been approved. The Su-30MKI aircraft, in addition to adapting to this cruise missile, will receive a new on-board computer, radar and electronic combat systems. Some of the Indian fighters will be upgraded in Russia, after which Indian airline Hindustan Aeronautics Limited will engage in this licensed work.
Faster than Tomahawk
The Russian-Indian company Brahmos Aerospace has been developing Brahmos since 1998 on the basis of the Russian Yakhont missile project. Ammunition can reach speeds 2.5 to 2.8 times the speed of sound (3.1 to 3,500 km/h) and hit targets at a range of up to 300. The missile is capable to hit targets on the ground at an altitude of 10 meters. flight on a combined path is 290 km, with a low altitude & mdash; 120 km.The high speed probably gives better penetration characteristics compared to light hypersonic missiles, for example, the American Tomahawk. “ Bramos & # 39; & # 39; is twice as heavy and almost 4 times faster, has 32 times the kinetic energy, but it has to pay for it with a relatively short flight range. Despite the fact that the BrahMos was originally created as an anti-ship missile, it can be used against radio contrast objects. detection by radar systems. & nbsp;
Guidance system
The missile has an inertial control system and a radar seeker head/Created by Russian OJSC Concern Granit-Electron, it is similar to the Onyx anti-ship missile. (export name & mdash; Yakhont). It is designed to search, capture and track targets under conditions of electronic suppression, selecting targets based on entered data, receiving and transmitting target coordinates to the system equipment autopilot system on-board control. The homing head locks on the target and extinguishes, while the missile is reduced to 10 yards, making it difficult to detect. In the final phase of the flight, it is again activated for target designation.
Who can take in service?
Since BrahMos structurally similar to the P-800 Onyx missiles, it can replace them as part of a missile system, especially on Project 22350 frigates. South Africa, Egypt, Oman, Brunei, Chile, Brazil and others have shown interest in this weapon at different times. Indonesia. & Nbsp;
Perspective & mdash; hypersonic
The Russian-Indian consortium Brahmos Aerospace will finalize the Brahmos supersonic cruise missile so that it can fly at hypersonic speed, i.e. faster than five numbers of Mach (about 5.7 thousand kilometers per hour). The promising rocket will be fitted with a hypersonic ramjet, which differs from a supersonic motor in materials and a design that provides for a slight deceleration of the oncoming hypersonic airflow. It will take seven to eight years to create a new weapon.
