In some helicopters, the landing part includes a special device that provides a connection (wire) between the deck and the helicopter (underneath it), just before landing. This device is a construction of the Royal Canadian Navy with the name 'Beartrap.' The equivalent device, of the US Navy, bases its technology on the Canadian one and has the name 'RAST.' The Navy has integrated the device in the Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) Mk III.
Even the military might that is the United States has been busy upgrading its hardware for the past several years, updating several mainstays like the F-15 aircraft and Abrams tanks in the process. Interestingly, the maker of the Abrams tank – General Dynamics Land Systems – has recently unveiled a new variant of its Ajax next-gen armored fighting vehicle. Featuring the Brimstone Anti-tank guided weapon ‘Overwatch,’ this Ajax variant is designed to fight against other tanks with high-precision munitions.
As the military landscape around the world undergoes a very rapid change, armed forces of different countries are ensuring that their combat capabilities are up to date. In the modern times, these capabilities are often sourced from defense companies such as General Dynamics and MBDA. These companies are currently pushing for the adoption of the Brimstone Overwatch-installed Ajax vehicle.
According to General Dynamics, the MBDA Brimstone is a multiple-platform weapon for Air, Land, and Maritime environments. In Overwatch role, Brimstone becomes a high intensity, peer-on-peer weapon offering excellent reach, high load-out and salvo capability. It's capable of defeating defensive aide suites and armor in a precise manner in any weather condition.
It's a fact that the military industry of Africa is very limited compared to other continents. Although, some nations stand out on the continent due to their exceptional military strength.
The Denel Rooivalk is an attack helicopter that made its introduction to the air force of South Africa in 2011. It made its first flight in 1990 and was produced by Denel Aviation during 1990-2007. In Afrikaans, Rooivalk means 'Red Falcon', but AH-2 and C SH-2 are also previous destinations for the helicopter. Twelve units have been built, and all serve on the 16 Squadron of the South African Air Force at AFB Bloemspruit.
South Africa wanted an exceptional attack helicopter to depend on during the South African Border War. They wanted to use such aircraft to escort troop transports, strike hostile aircraft and be the worst fear of Soviet tanks.
As it was very difficult to design and build a military helicopter from scratch, the army decided to base the Roovialk on an existing helicopter, the SA 330 Puma. Essentially, the production of the Rooivalk is very similar to the one of Atlas Oryx, an improved version of the Puma that was used in Africa. In 2016, the helicopter was highly upgraded with a missile approach warning system and other changes that made it more reliable in general.

The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between United States and the U.S.S.R that lasted all of 45 years and only ended in 1991 when the latter broke up. The Superpowers were locked in a crazed nuclear arms race. At a point, the United States seemed to be ahead with their nuclear arsenal; a stockpile that included some pretty impressive nuclear weapons platform like the massive Ohio Class submarines.
Then the Russians responded with a weapons platform of their own in a bid to even the odds. They pulled out all the stops too and forced the world to take notice. The monstrosity in question was developed under Project 941 known in Russia as Akula but to the rest of the world as the Typhoon Class submarine.
The project was signed off in the early 1970s and by 1976, construction was underway on the first one. The deployment of the Typhoon class submarines caused a lot of consternation within the NATO ranks and having a fix on their locations at all times became a top priority, even after the Cold War ended.
The Typhoon Class submarines set a host of records; some of which are still unbroken today.
Submarines are some of the deadliest and most intimidating sea vessels man has ever made. They've played a vital role in the Navy and affected how war was fought across the oceans.
Submarines are some of the deadliest and most intimidating sea vessels man has ever made. They've played a vital role in the Navy and affected how war was fought across the oceans.
The first ideas for a submarine actually date back to the 16th century, but it wasn't until the mid-20th century that submarines could really tackle serious depths. Since then, regardless of whether they were designed for battle, intelligence gathering, or whatever other purpose, a lot of submarines are viewed as crucial resources by many.
But while some submarines end up being restored or rebuilt as different vessels, others are abandoned and left to rust and dwindle away.
Resolute Dragon 21 involves thousands of direct participants spread across nine locations over almost the entirety of Japan with nearly 2,650 Marines from across III MEF representing all functions of the Fleet Marine Force.
Participating aircraft from 1st Marine Aircraft Wing include multiple MV-22B Ospreys, CH-53E Stallions, AH-1Z Vipers, UH-1Y Venom, F/A-18E Hornets, and KC-130J Hercules.
In addition to the USMC and JGSDF personnel, hundreds of US Navy and US Air Force personnel are participating in the air and at sea.
Marines join approximately 1,400 of their counterparts from the 9th Division, North Eastern Army, Japan Ground Self-Defense Force.
The U.S. Navy operates some of the most powerful and dangerous vessels above and under the sea surface. The submarines are a key part of a fleet, and they have also a very important role in the carrier strike groups. That's why the U.S. wanted the most advanced and efficient submarine that its military industry could produce.
The Seawolf-class submarines are nuclear-powered fast attack submarines and successors to the Los Angeles class. Their development started in 1989 and lasted till 2005. The first submarine started serving for the US Navy in 1997, and so far, the US has 'built three Seawolves'. All of these three are still active, although they were meant to be built 29 submarines. The remaining 26 were canceled mainly because of a limited budget and the end of the Cold War. The Seawolf-class submarines are not cheap: each unit costs almost $3 billion, with the most expensive one, the USS Jimmy Carter, to cost $3.5 billion.
At some point, the US decided that they should build 12 units with a total cost of $33.6 billion, but that decision was disregarded after the end of the Cold War. The specific submarine is the most expensive US submarine and the second most expensive after the French SSBN Triomphant class. The solution came when the Virginia class was proposed; a cheaper and smaller class of submarines that cost less and continued what Seawolf-class started.
The capabilities of the submarines were specifically designed in hypothetical conflicts with the Soviet ones.
The Seawolf-class could be designed to defend and attack the Soviet Akula class submarine and defend against the Typhoon class ballistic missile submarine.
The underwater vessel has a total capacity of 50 UGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles that can be used against targets on sea and land. Other systems like the sonar and radar are very advanced and capable.
The whole submarine is powered by an S6W nuclear reactor capable enough to produce 45,000 hp. Although the reactor is very powerful, the whole submarine operates relatively quietly.
There may be only three Seawolf-class submarines but are for sure the most deadly of their kind. As we stated earlier, their quiet operations help them stay untainted to enemy sonars and perform stealthy attacks on the enemy fleet.
In combination with their high speed, the vessels are very dangerous to every nation's navy. Their heavy armament and advanced missiles can cause remarkable damage to enemy vessels even before the enemy fleet can trace the Seawolf.
The submarine is very successful in the Los Angeles class. They can carry almost the double capacity of missiles compared to them.
Consider that the only reason the production was limited to three units was the enormous budget they required. But still, with only three submarines active, the Seawolf-class lead the way for the most dangerous attack submarines ever sailed.
Kapal selam ini bakal
menjadi kapal induk pertama untuk drone bawah air bersenjata nuklir Poseidon.
Rusia membuat
Poseidon, drone berbentuk seperti torpedo raksasa, untuk membawa hulu ledak
nuklir seberat hingga dua megaton. Analis senjata menyebutnya sebagai
"senjata nuklir hari kiamat".
Mendapat dukungan
reaktor nuklir kecil, Poseidon memiliki jangkauan 10.000 kilometer untuk
mengarungi lautan dunia. Meluncur dari Laut Barents atau perairan lain di Kutub
Utara, drone bawah air tersebut bisa melintasi Atlantik Utara.
Jika diledakkan di
lepas pantai timur Amerika Serikat (AS), hulu ledak nuklir yang Poseidon bawa
bisa menciptakan gelombang tsunami setinggi puluhan meter di samping kerusakan
yang disebabkan oleh ledakan nuklir itu sendiri.
Kapal selam Tipe ini merupakan salah satu kapal selam tercanggih
buatan rusia.
Proyek ini ditujukan untuk pengembangan kapal
selam multi-peran dengan berbagai kemampuan intelijen di samping peran
tempur.
Muatan yang besar memungkinkan cakupan jelajah dari kapal selam tersebut menjadi
lebih luas dan fleksibel untuk dioperasikan mulai dari perairan pesisir hingga
patroli di laut lepas.

Itu dirancang untuk menjadi kecil, cepat dan gesit untuk meningkatkan kemampuan bertahan dan mematikan.
Desain rotor koaksial nya memungkinkan dapat melayang hingga 4.000 meter dan laju vertikal pendakian 10 meter per detik pada ketinggian 2.500 meter. Bilah rotor terbuat dari bahan polimer.
Tidak adanya rotor ekor memungkinkan helikopter ini dapat melakukan putaran datar dalam seluruh rentang kecepatan penerbangan. Faktor beban vertikal maksimum 3,5 g dikombinasikan dengan momen inersia rendah memberikan Ka-50 tingkat kelincahan yang tinggi.
Sebagian besar Angkatan Laut memiliki dan mengoperasikan kapal
selam sekalipun jumlah dan populasinya masing-masing negara berbeda. Selain digunakan
untuk kepentingan militer, kapal selam juga digunakan untuk ilmu pengetahuan
laut dan air tawar dan untuk bertugas di kedalaman yang tidak sesuai untuk
penyelam manusia.
Meskipun kapal selam mengapung dengan mudah, kapal itu
mampu menyelam ke dasar samudra dan tetap berada di situ sampai berbulan-bulan
lamanya.
Rahasianya terletak pada konstruksi khas dinding
rangkap kapal tersebut. Ruang-ruang khusus kedap air atau tangki pemberat
antara dinding luar dan dinding dalam dapat diisi air laut sehingga
meningkatkan bobot keseluruhan dan mengurangi kemampuan mengapungnya.
