Perhaps today's news is what happened in the Levant.
Thousands of Hezbollah members have been injured or killed when their pagers exploded.
The Mossad either compromised all models or used some backdoor that Motorola had (apparently all the ones that exploded were Motorola).
This is quite impressive and shows again the incredible level of the Mossad.
All this in my opinion reinforces the idea that it is practically impossible that Israel did not know about the initial attack on Israel.

The devices reportedly purchased 3 months ago may have been mined by Israel, or may have been mined by Hezbollah in case of capture by the IDF.
It may simply be a case of the batteries exploding.
Simply an impressive job of absolute precision, with virtually no collateral damage.

The all-weather radar monitoring satellite of the Earth's surface "Кондор-ФКА" being prepared for launch. It was delivered to the thermal vestibule of the block warehouse of the technical complex of the Vostochny Cosmodrome, and will later be sent to the assembly and testing building of spacecraft for preparation for launch on board the Soyuz-2.1a launch vehicle.
Despite the fact that the Kondor-FKA satellite is classified as a purely civilian orbital platform for geological exploration and monitoring changes in ground infrastructure after natural disasters or obtaining information for the purpose of solving a number of socio-economic issues, the capabilities of the high-resolution radar complex placed on the satellite, capable of operating in the synthetic aperture mode with a resolution of 1-1.5 square meters, also provide the ability to conduct radar reconnaissance.
Large group radio-contrast targets (including columns of equipment or enemy surface ships) can be detected.
The launch of this satellite is a huge help in increasing the extremely insufficient potential of Russia's orbital reconnaissance group.

What are the ОЛС-35 optical-electronic sighting systems and UV fire sensors installed on the Su-35S capable of?
Here we have a beautiful photo of the multispectral optical-electronic sighting station OLS-35 from the Scientific and Production Corporation “Precision Instrument Engineering Systems”, as well as the nose ultraviolet upper hemisphere scanning sensor from the architecture of the attack missile detection system.
The first operates in the TV/IR ranges and detects targets such as the F-16AM in the rear hemisphere in afterburner at an altitude of 7.000-10.000m at a distance of up to 85-100 km, and in the maximum non-afterburner mode of the turbofan engine at up to 30-35 km.
This complex ensures the covert use of the R-74M, R-77-1 and R-37M air-to-air missiles without using the onboard PESA radar "Irbis-E".
The OLS-35 is also capable of detecting low-observable tactical missiles SCALP-EG and JASSM-ER in the rear hemisphere at a distance of up to 10 km and providing target designations for the above-mentioned air-to-air missiles.
The ultraviolet fire sensor detects enemy MIM-104C/D and AIM-120D SAMs and guided missiles based on the IR signatures of solid propellant rocket flares on active sections of trajectories at a distance of 50 and 30 km, respectively, notifying the crew and enabling the pilot to orient the Irbis-E radar antenna in the direction of the enemy missile for its possible interception by the R-77-1 missile.

Promising unmanned platforms-carriers of strike FPV drones began to be used in various operational areas in the combat zone.
The 4-engine UAV carriers of FPV drones can deliver them at a distance of 25-30km.
The carriers are equipped with multi-band repeaters that ensure the preservation of command and telemetry channels for controlling FPV drones and video transmission channels even after they are hidden beyond the radio horizon relative to the control station.
The use of long-range UAV carriers has increased the range of small FPV drones from 15 to 40 km.
In case of implementation of the hover mode by the UAV carrier, a fiber-optic control channel line between FPV drones and the carrier can be used.

And yet another microelectronics production facility has been launched in Russia.
💻 A line for assembling microcircuits in metal-polymer cases has started operating at the Element Group enterprise in Voronezh. The money for its launch was received from the Goverment Industrial Development Fund in the form of a preferential loan. It will be used to enclose К1921ВГ015 microcontrollers, which are used in medicine, household meters and in industrial automation.
But it is possible to assemble microcontrollers, microprocessors, interface integrated circuits, etc. on the new line. By the end of 2025, the production volume will be at the level of 3.5 million items per year, 70% of which are planned to be supplied to electronics manufacturers such as Energomera, Lartech, Zheldor-Tekhnika, etc. Well, and, strictly speaking, some will go to Element's own needs.

Sberbank has started testing unmanned trucks on the M-11 Neva highway, with the test driver sitting in the passenger seat rather than behind the wheel. Apparently, the autopilot system is now trusted more and the time will come when the driver will be removed from the cabin altogether. For now, he controls the process and can, if necessary, press the emergency button to stop the vehicle.

⚡️ We captured a historic moment!
The container ship Flying Fish 1's voyage along the Northern Sea Route was the first in history for Panamax-type vessels. In simple terms, these are very large cargo ships.
The container ship covered the route from St. Petersburg to Shanghai in just 21 days at an average speed of 16 knots, or about 30 km/h. What makes this event significant for the entire world is the fact that it is now officially documented – the route through the Suez Canal would have taken two weeks longer.
🗣 Data on the vessel class, its location, speed, flag and destination are recorded by our satellite group SITRO-AIS and transmitted to the Russian cloud service for tracking maritime traffic SiAIS, developed by our colleagues also from Sitronics Group. It currently contains information on 10 thousand sea ports around the world and 570 thousand vessels of different classes and purposes. Each of the spacecraft created by SPUTNICS receives several million messages per day.
It should be noted that by the end of 2024, the SITRO-AIS group will be replenished with several dozen more devices, which we are now actively preparing for launch.🚀

Completely unmanned KamAZ trucks will not appear on the roads anytime soon.
Completely autonomous and safe trucks that will not be controlled by humans will transport cargo on public roads somewhere beyond the horizon of 2050.
In any case, such prospects are depicted on the slides that the chief designer of innovative vehicles of KAMAZ Sergey Nazarenko presented at the International Automobile Scientific Forum in Moscow.
However, by 2028, the company promises to create a prototype of a cabless and, accordingly, unmanned truck that will operate with minimal downtime. In the meantime, 18 trucks with ADAS level 3, that is, with "elements of autonomous movement", have been created.
10 of them are used for real commercial transportation of goods on the M-11 "Neva" highway, and next year the prototypes will begin to be used on the M-12 "Vostok" and the Central Ring Road.
And everything seems to be going well, drones transported almost 80 thousand cubic meters of cargo in 2023, and in 2024 it is planned to transport 390 thousand cubic meters.
But one of the problems in testing drones was that not all of the M-11 is provided with high-quality communications.
However, the same problem awaits drones on the M-12 as this route is only 60% covered by communications.

Progress will reach the United States in 50 years.
The San Francisco train control system, which runs on 50-year-old floppy disks , has finally been decided to be updated by 2027. $212 million will be spent on this, but in the meantime, workers will have to download data concerning the subway train control automation from a floppy disk every morning.
The authorities of the American city began to "itch" in April, when it suddenly became clear that the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) system was using ancient 5.25-inch floppy disks from the 1980s. True, there is no reliable information yet about what exactly the disks will be replaced with, perhaps with something no less outdated. In 1998, the system was modernized, but despite the fact that hard disks already existed then, it now operates on 50-year-old disks.
In total, $700 million is planned to be spent on modernization, part of this money will go to modernization of communication cables. They are used to send commands for controlling trains by remote operators, but they are transmitted even more slowly than over telephone wires using a modem. Perhaps someday the German high-speed trains, controlled via MS-DOS, will also get an update. There is no hope for progress for the German fleet, which also uses ancient floppy disks.

Tank units of the Russian Ground Forces continue to independently refine and conduct full-scale tests of a full remote control kit adapted for integration on the T-72B3/B3M, T-90A and T-90M MBTs. Testing of the experimental prototype of the kit is carried out on the basis of the T-72B3M MBT.
The set is composed of:
- remotely (via a radio command channel) controlled servo drives for the mechanical controls of the machine, including the gearbox.
- electromagnetic control drives to toggle switches and controls for the 2A46M-5 gun.
- CCD/CMOS sensor in the optical axis of the eyepiece of the Sosna-U multi-channel gunner's sight.
- A module for transmitting video images via a secure radio communication channel.
According to the developer, in case of using a UAV-based repeater, the effective range of the command and telemetry channel and the video transmission channel can reach 100 km.
It is worth noting that even the prototype is equipped with a developed 2-tier anti-cumulative and anti-drone "cope cage".
It is an interesting field proposal. However, it makes more sense to implement these solutions on specifically designed platforms.
