trnslated using firefox: Due to the constant receipt of the updated intelligence data, there was a need to adjust some of the positions of the total losses of the enemy - UAVs. The total figure is adjusted, and losses per day are given as usual.

The forces of unmanned systems destroyed the "Wasp" air defense system in the Luhansk direction.

That night, an anti-aircraft missile system for hitting air targets at low altitudes was discovered and destroyed. The operation was successfully carried out by the operators of 412 OBBpS "NEMESIS" .

Step by step, we destroy each level of the enemy's echeloned anti-aircraft defense.

Our brigade uses leaflets as one of the means of information warfare, scattering them over enemy positions. These leaflets contain calls for surrender, guaranteeing humane treatment and safety for those who lay down their arms. The purpose of such actions is to reduce the morale of the enemy and avoid losses on both sides.

From smart prosthetics to magically controlling drones, Brave1 member Esper Bionics is testing new technology

The new MARS prosthesis control system uses special sensors and artificial intelligence to recognize muscle movements. Thanks to the solution, the prosthesis can literally understand the user's intentions.

This approach makes controlling the prosthesis more natural, and in the future opens up new possibilities for controlling technologies such as drones.

The user will be able to control the drone, changing the position of the prosthesis in space and straining different muscles. The principle is similar to a computer mouse: hand movement controls the direction and angle of the drone, and muscle tension controls functions such as button presses.

Esper Bionics is already testing a prototype and plans to produce a version for the market next year.

How the technology works - on video. The case when it's hard to tell the difference between magic and technology.
