Note how similar this BS yanqui superiority prattle is to the Shkval torpedo case. Scientific American claimed that the
USA had worked on a similar concept during the 1950s. That is an example of real BS claims. They produced some schematic that
looked like a conventional torpedo and totally lacked the elements that made the Shkval functional and unique.

A new alloy for the aerospace industry has been created in Russia



Specialists of the Laboratory of Physics of High-Strength Crystals, SIPT TSU, within the framework of a joint grant from the Russian Science Foundation and the German Research Community (DFG), were able to create an innovative alloy with a shape memory.

According to the agency "MIR", the development will be very promising in the aviation and space sectors, as well as in robotics and the automotive industry. It is noteworthy that the employees of SIPT for the first time managed to create single crystals of alloys based on the compound iron-nickel-cobalt-aluminum. In this case, the fifth element is replaceable, and they can act niobium or titanium.

Such material in its properties is superior to titanium nickelide, which is used to create thermal sensors, implants, medical equipment, drives and other structures. In contrast, iron-based alloys recover better after deformation, said Anna Eftifeyeva, graduate student of the Faculty of Physics, engineer of the high-strength crystal physics laboratory.

It is worth noting that iron-based alloys are highly durable. This aspect plays a crucial role for devices that have to withstand enormous loads. As a rule, this applies to the engineering and aerospace industries. The advantages of the new items include lower manufacturing costs compared to titanium nickelide, added the head of the laboratory, professor Yuri Chumlyakov.

WTF are you even talking about? The parties that won are more anti-West than the United Russia party, that's besides the point and it's off topic.

More than 7 million passports of the new generation were issued by the data processing Center (DPC) of the State system of migration registration "Peace." In the data center, commissioned in 2016 NII "Voskhod", is used exclusively for domestic computing platform "Elbrus", developed by Concern "Automatics" of state Corporation rostec and the Russian software development.

The state system "World" controls the manufacture, registration and control passport-visa documents of new generation, and migration into account. The system includes departmental segments of the Ministry of interior, Ministry of communications, Ministry of defense, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of foreign Affairs, FSB, the Ministry of transport and Rosmorrechflot. The interaction between the institutional segment provides the DC "World", which includes 130 server architecture "Elbrus".

"Using the platform "Elbrus" has confirmed the possibility of creating a modern integrated information system on domestic element base. This project opened the market for the platform "Elbrus", made her popular in the state and Federal agencies. Experience of datacenter operations demonstrates its high resiliency and performance. It is no coincidence that this platform competes on an equal footing in the implementation of new projects in the field of big data and the challenges with the highest level of information security", – said the Executive Director of rostec state Corporation Oleg Yevtushenko.

In the composition of the DC "World" implemented data storage systems, cluster systems, databases, application servers, organized monitoring system and service support. Data center design "World" is allowed to create a technical basis for extending the application server "Elbrus". Thanks to new software and optimize it for the architecture "Elbrus" the growth performance of various system components, depending on the tasks amounted to 3300%.

"The data center was the result of the state program on import substitution. This is the first public system of this size is implemented on all domestic microelectronic base. The developed platform is based on Russian software, including those based on open source and runs completely on the server "Elbrus-4.4". Currently using the new platform issued more than 7 million passports of the new generation," – said Deputy General Director of the research Institute "Voskhod" Igor Gritsaev.

Part of state Corporation rostec work on the line of servers "Elbrus" is INEUM them. Brook Concern "Automatics" in cooperation with JSC "MCST".

The passport of the new generation first became available to Russians in 2006. The home page of this document contains a biometric microchip that recorded the fingerprints and digital photos of the person of the citizen. The validity of the passport of the new generation is ten years.

Baikal-M is simply an ARM processor.  Its nothing special.  Apparently Baikal electronics was facing bankruptcy as their owner (T-Platforms holder) was arrested for Fraud.  Baikal electronics of course will either be bought out or saved and I think it is under new management now.

I hate to say it but T-Platforms and Baikal are nothing special and they are way late to the game.  The only product they created that holds some benefits is their Baikal-T which is a MIPS processor used for automation.  Apparently that was in high demand in Russia so that is why it took so long for their ARM processor.

But in reality, Module created their own ARM processor with Neuromatrix (I posted in this thread earlier on about it).  It is much more impressive than this ARM design which I believe is used for low powered servers.  Otherwise, not really needed as MCST Elbrus E2K processors are much better suited for the need of server applications anyway.

Yeah the Baikal-M looks like a cutting edge model.. from 2014.

Expert: Russia is ahead of foreigners in creating an electric motor for aviation

MOSCOW, Sep 5 - RIA News. Russia is five years ahead of foreign competitors in creating an electric high-power aircraft engine, said SuperOx CEO Sergei Samoilenkov to RIA Novosti.
It was previously reported that an electric motor based on high-temperature superconductors is being created in Russia by order of the Advanced Research Foundation. The flight of a flying laboratory with such a motor is planned to be carried out in Russia in 2020.

"Foreign competitors are also developing electric motors for aviation. In 2021-2022, the previous generation electric motor, without superconductors, should be tested at a flying laboratory in Europe. Our electric motor is distinguished by the use of new materials - superconductors. They make it possible to create large-capacity electric motors with small sizes and Such engines can be created and tested in flight by our competitors in about five years, but we plan to conduct tests at the flying laboratory already in next year, "said Samoilenkov.

According to him, superconductors do not have electrical resistance and allow transmitting a record high current density. This allows you to increase the efficiency of such plants and reduce their overall dimensions compared to conventional electric motors. “This installation opens up a new page in aviation, because it allows you to design and build aircraft with electric traction. This will allow you to implement the same principles in aviation as in electric vehicles,” said Samoilenkov.

According to him, the use of such engines can save, according to various estimates, from 15 to 75 percent of the fuel, proportionally reduce noise and the amount of harmful emissions. “This can change the civil aviation market in the coming years and decades. The topic is of hot interest to everyone: Airbus, Boeing, NASA and the Japan Space Agency, all Russian aircraft manufacturers. Everyone is sure that this is the future. Only some people think that it will come tomorrow, who “The day after tomorrow, and we think that it has already arrived,” the head of the company said.

The prototype of the electric motor was presented by SuperOx at the booth of the Central Institute of Aviation Motors at the MAKS-2019 aerospace show. In total, today, said Samoilenkov, a batch of engines has been manufactured that pass ground bench tests.

Flight tests are planned next year at the Yak-40 flying laboratory. “The electric motor will be installed in the nose of the aircraft, which will allow to leave standard engines on the plane and test the new engine in different operating modes. This will happen for the first time in the world,” the source said.

The source of electricity for such an installation may be batteries, electric generators or fuel cells. Due to the compact size of electric motors and the possibility of diversity of the power source and the installation itself, aircraft designers can design new aircraft, placing the engines where it is most advantageous aerodynamically.

“Our two engines can provide thrust for an aircraft with a capacity of up to 20 passengers. Larger dimension engines or more engines can drive regional aircraft - 50-70 passengers,” said Samoilenkov.
According to him, the Russian development can rightfully be called a breakthrough solution, since it opens up new prospects in the field of regional air transportation. "This market is measured in trillions of US dollars until 2035," the SuperOx head said.

At the same time, he notes, the development of an electric motor on superconductors was much cheaper than a conventional aircraft engine. “Compared to the development of a traditional aircraft engine, it’s at least 10 times less,” he said.
