"Thanks to everyone who helps with quality mock-ups of aircraft and air defense systems and more mock-ups will arrive," he added both we and the enemy have losses of equipment and people But neither side is talking about it publicly The Kyiv Independent is unable to verify the claims immediately Ukraine's airfields have recently faced an uptick in Russian strikes as Kyiv gets ready to receive the first batch of Western F-16 fighter jets Over the past week, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have destroyed five Su-27 Soviet-made jets and damaged two more stationed at the Myrhorod airfield, a Mi-24 helicopter at the Poltava airfield Reports of the attacks drew outrage on social media, with some criticizing the Air Force for failing to properly protect the airfields despite advance warnings and the expected arrival of F-16 fighter jets Air Force spokesperson Illia Yevlash refused to give any comments to the Kyiv Independent on reported Russian attacks against Ukrainian airfields The production of space technology is the pinnacle of world engineering since the construction of aircraft and launch vehicles requires tremendously strict requirements for operation reliability under extreme temperatures This is the reason why designs for space technology are so sophisticated and involve so much duplication of systems require the use of high-strength and highly durable materials and employ such advanced electronic equipment and specific software Ukraine is not only capable of producing world-class space technology now but also has great prospects for further development in the industry So let's take a look at the key enterprises that form Ukraine's space industry The tandem of the Pivdenne Design Bureau and the Pivdenmash plant in Dnipro remains at the forefront of Ukrainian space they mostly designed and produced intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) for the Soviet nuclear forces the difference between ICBMs designed to destroy objects and boost rockets launching cargo into space is quite substantial: a series of Cyclone launch vehicles manufactured by Pivdenmash is a modification of its R-36 intercontinental missile The reliability of the products of the Dnipro rocket builders is evidenced by the fact that during the first modification of the Cyclone-2 launch vehicle all 106 test launches carried out were successful This launch vehicle is the only one in the world with a similar record designed to be launched from a spaceport Nova Scotia on Canada's Atlantic coast Its construction and deployment is being managed by Maritime Launch Services together with the Ukrainian companies Hartron-ARKOS have developed and started producing the basic design of the first stage of the Antares launch vehicle commissioned by America's Northrop Grumman Corporation A rather promising development in the Ukrainian space industry is the so-called "Air Launch" technology developed by Pivdenmash — a system for launching microsatellites into orbit with a solid-fuel engine from a transport aircraft in flight The Italian company Italspazio and the British Orbit Boy are also involved in this project It should be noted that Pivdenne also has a bureau which designs rocket engines known as DB-4 which are now in demand by foreign rocket manufacturers include first and foremost the RD-843 engine (Attitude and Vernier Upper Module) of the Vega light rocket The bureau has also participated in the development of engines for the Chinese Long March family of rockets whose power units are based on the RD-120 Lox/kerosene engine which was used in the second stage of Pivdenmash Zenith rockets The Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) has also benefited from the Ukrainian space titan's work: a number of units and systems for the KSLV family of rockets created under Korea's national space program The Dnipro Space Cluster also includes the Pavlograd Chemical Plant which specializes in the production of jet fuels includes a specialized research institute that designs various types of rocket fuels along with conducting research for the development of jet engines and spacecraft of the Soviet and post-Soviet eras were designed and manufactured by the Kharkiv-based companies Hartron They produce launch vehicles including the Dnipro and Cyclone—3 Several enterprises which covered almost the entire production cycle of launch vehicles during Soviet times are no longer self-sufficient today Analyzing global trends in space technology we see that modern models are not created by individual firms but are rather the product of broad cooperation due to fierce competition for quality it engenders Space industry manufacturing have brought in lots of foreign companies as was the case with the Antares launch vehicle cannot compete on the same level as space rocket giants like America's Space X our products may well occupy certain niche positions even in the American market for technical solutions for budget space systems we can work confidently with ambitious countries that are trying to implement national space programs the Turkish companies Roketsan and Turkish Aerospace Industries are interested in using Ukrainian parts in their space projects When it comes to building rocket engines themselves cooperation with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has been mutually beneficial it is not only the production of hardware that makes Ukraine a space nation The operation of spacecraft requires developed terrestrial infrastructure for space observation and the control and processing of information received from orbit These functions are assigned to the National Space Surveillance and Analysis System and the Center for the Reception and Processing of Special Information and Navigation Field Control The latter includes the PS-8.2 station for receiving and processing information which carries out reception and processing of information from remote sensors of the Earth Yet wouldn't be possible without the development of a unique piece of equipment It is a long-range radar for radio monitoring of objects in outer space which was developed by the Arsenal factory in Kyiv plant and which was commissioned by the State Space Agency of Ukraine The Zbruch station is part of the National Center for Space Management and Testing and is designed to detect both artificial objects and space debris in Earth orbit The computing component of the radar can calculate the trajectory of falling fragments and thus predict whether they pose a threat to people or infrastructure Zbruch has helped to catalog more than 12,000 space objects so that their trajectories can be monitored the Ukrainian space industry has its problems Many competencies from Soviet days have atrophied and inefficient government structures have proven a hindrance to further development of Ukraine's aerospace sector Ukraine This is primarily due to the state's monopoly over the space industry — for a long time Article 4 of the Law on Entrepreneurship declared that activities related to the creation of rocket carriers can be carried out exclusively by state-owned companies It should be noted that a significant part of the funds planned to be raised for the development of Ukraine's space industry must come from investors are usually quite hesitant to invest in government agencies a branch of the American private aerospace company Firefly Aerospace is already operating in Ukraine They run the experimental production of rocket components and their laboratory testing out of Dnipro where the company's R&D center is also located The research center of the British space firm Skyrora There is some progress in the development of Ukrainian non-governmental organizations specializing in the development of jet engine technologies Another enterprise related to the space industry is the Scientific and Education Center (SEC) "Aerospace Center" of the National Aviation University of Ukraine the SEC has pursued close cooperation with other space organizations including the Pivdenne Design Bureau and the National Space Management and Testing Center as well as with private space industry enterprises and startups Some of the SEC's most interesting ongoing projects include: "Aeneas" — a robot designed to penetrate the lava tubes on the surface of the Moon or other planets It is a truncated icosahedron with solid-fuel pulse engines on its faces These engines help the robot to jump Groups of these robots will disembark from a base ship near a sinkhole leading to a lava tube while coordinating with and reinforcing each other The robots will carry a set of scientific instruments that will determine the conditions inside the tube such as the presence of residual atmosphere which will allow scientists to investigate the viability of sites for the first lunar colonies Aeneas has managed to make several jumps at its test site Talaris is a light aircraft for moving between the orbit and the lunar surface as well as for short-distance flights on the Moon It can also act as a means of evacuation from the surface or an orbital station Vejat is a Cubesat remote sensing satellite project but with a resolution that exceeds that of many traditional remote sensing satellites This was achieved through the use of non-standard optical circuits and other innovations Vejat is expected to be the cheapest remote sensing satellite in the world and will be launched by groups as an accompanying cargo the rocket is set to become the world's cheapest orbital carrier of this class there is a chance to reduce the start-up cost to $1 million Development of the project began with an order from a foreign customer but SEC's developers and management hope to one day have regular launches of spacecraft from Ukraine SEC members have filed patent applications for solutions that can reduce the cost of work and increase the reliability of traditional rockets with liquid fuel engines one of their inventions allows rockets to avoid using a turbopump unit which is the most complex unit of a rocket jet engine and makes up a significant part of its cost The center is working on a revolutionary solution to solve the problem of deteriorating solar panels on spacecraft which will dramatically simplify and lighten spacecraft design Some progress has been also achieved in related industries SEC employees have developed new formulae and technologies for the production of solid rocket fuel for various tasks from slow stable combustion to high-speed combustion on the verge of detonation the SEC has been forced to somewhat scale back its activity Several of its employees have volunteered to join the armed forces all of them are attempting to keep working remotely and hope to continue working on space exploration after Ukraine's victory we hope that eventually these ventures will grow stronger over time and provide a great boost to Ukraine's space industry Ukraine must remain one of the world's leading space powers Andriy was 33 years old and a dentist by profession. Before the full-scale war, the man played and sang in a local band. The man was awarded the commemorative medal “For the Defense of the Hero City of Kharkiv” and the badge “Shield of the Territorial Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (13.04.23). On March 16, Andriy joined the 127th Brigade of the Kharkiv Tank Corps as a combat medic. In September last year, the man participated in the de-occupation of the village of Velyki Prokhody. For the last month of his life, Andriy saved the soldiers’ lives in Bakhmut as a combat medic. He evacuated, provided first aid, and operated on the injured if necessary. In one day, the man saved 8 people, for which he was promoted to lieutenant. “He was a kind, bright, cheerful man: not a day went by without Andriy telling a joke. It always seemed to us that we would be together until we were old and would survive everything. He always supported me. You know, if there is unconditional love in the world, then Andriy loved me with exactly that kind of love,” said Tetiana Melnyk, the wife of the fallen officer. His colleagues, friends and fellow villagers came to say goodbye to Andriy. A ship chartered by the United Nations to transport Ukrainian wheat to countries at risk of famine set sail for East Africa on Sunday The Brave Commander freighter departed from the Ukrainian port of Yuzhne, east of Odesa, carrying 23,000 metric tons of grain, the Associated Press reported Sunday afternoon The vessel — the first specially chartered by the U.N.'s World Food Program to unblock food shipments stuck after Russia's invasion of Ukraine — will head toward Djibouti from where the grain will be transported to Ethiopia The restarting of food aid from Ukraine could mark a major turning point in the fight against worsening global hunger Last month, Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement with the U.N. and Turkey to restart grain deliveries, whose disruption has deepened global food insecurity. Millions of people in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Sudan, in particular, are facing dramatic food shortages, the U.N. has warned About a dozen ships have left Ukraine since the U.N.-backed deal was signed, but they have primarily transported corn for animal feed or biofuel The first grain ship to depart Ukraine under the deal was rejected by its Lebanese buyer said the vessel was approaching Syria on Sunday Ukraine has previously accused the Syrian regime of importing stolen grain Dry conditions are spreading to virtually every area of the continent People rarely think about Europe’s criss-crossing energy system what went wrong (and right) on Monday and what happens next There has not been any type of intrusion in the electrical network control systems,” authorities say Portugal also remains in the dark following mass power outage south of the Pyrenees Цей веб-сайт зберігає файли cookie на вашому комп'ютері According to a study by the analytical center REN21 and the UN Economic Commission for Europe our country has lost 90% of its wind energy capacity After the outbreak of a full-scale war and the occupation of parts of Kherson the top 5 largest wind farms in our country have changed radically as almost all wind generation facilities in Ukraine were located here This is stated in an article by RBC-Ukraine which focused on the state of wind energy in Ukraine the list of the most powerful wind power plants in our country looks like this: Location: on the shore of the Tyligul estuary in the Mykolaiv region Photo: Tyligulska wind farm in the Mykolaiv region the Tyligul wind farm produced 333 million kWh of electricity for the energy system of Ukraine preparatory work for the construction of the second stage is underway DTEK plans to fully implement the project in 2025 The station itself was built by a subsidiary of Elementum Energy Planned project capacity: 360 million kWh per year The planned volumes of production will be enough for 180,000 households Owner: Hong Kong company "Hero Asia Investment" Photo: Yuzhne Energy wind power plant in Odesa Location: near Truskavets in the Lviv region This is the largest wind station in Western Ukraine and the Carpathians which are installed on a mountain ridge near the village Each turbine produces 5.5 MW of "green" electricity Built: by the Turkish company Güriş holding in partnership with the American General Electric Photo: "Ovid Wind" wind farm (Ovidiopol wind farm) in Odesa region The third largest wind power plant in the Odesa region It consists of 9 turbines produced by General Electric with a capacity of 3.6 MW each which makes them one of the tallest structures in Ukraine the capital's "Motherland" monument is twice as tall At the end of July in Transcarpathia started working the first wind farm Also, EcoPolitic introduced its readers to the material of the Center for Journalistic Investigations on how many Ukrainian wind power plants and SPPs there are stolen or destroyed by Russia Despite the challenges of a full-scale invasion Ukrainian companies and investors are finding opportunities to create and develop green projects Wind trees are already "growing" and generating electricity in France unusual windmills are created by the British company Alpha 311 and the German startup SkySails The launch of the energy origin guarantee mechanism will provide an opportunity to export green electricity and increase domestic demand for it The use of materials posted on the EcoPolicy media platform is permitted only if the link to the EcoPolicy is provided and for online publications -

CGES said that part of the problem may have been that "the line did not go far enough." Although the southern branch of the Druzhba pipeline to which the new pipeline interconnects at Brody refineries served by the route showed no interest in buying Caspian crude oil proposals to link Druzhba with the Adria system to carry Russian oil to the Adriatic may well soak up much of this idle capacity and the Czech Republic have relied on Russia's oil majors for most Caspian producers were delivering their oil to refineries in Western Europe and beyond but the Odessa-Brody pipeline does not help them reach these markets CGES said that the longer the Odessa-Brody pipeline lay idle the "more the political temperature increased." Both the US government and the European Union strongly supported Ukraine in its desire to see the line used to carry Caspian oil into Europe while Russian oil companies lobbied for reversing the line to carry some of their growing volumes to the Black Sea Reversal of Odessa-Brody appeared to be a quick and relatively inexpensive way of boosting Russia's tightening oil export capacity by around 9 million tpy (180,000 b/d) which owns substantial downstream assets in Ukraine offered to supply 450,000 tonnes of crude oil to fill the pipeline under a 3-year loan at low interest rates which CGES said some saw as pressuring Ukraine to reverse the line then rejected amid claims that unnamed Kazakhstan oil producers had agreed to move 9 million tpy of oil through the line to Europe CGES said the companies were subsequently identified in various unconfirmed press reports as ChevronTexaco Corp Ukrainian officials have stated that ChevronTexaco is ready to begin shipping oil from Kazakhstan through the Odessa-Brody pipeline later this year Extending the Odessa-Brody pipeline to Plock in Poland which would give access through the existing Pomeranian pipeline to the port of Gdansk and through existing pipelines access to refineries in Germany might make the route considerably more attractive to exporters seeking markets in northern Europe although it has long been the subject of inter-governmental agreements between Ukraine and Poland Ukraine's best hope for earning revenue from its newest pipeline would indeed seem to be to use it for exporting Russian oil The great danger for Ukraine in adopting this strategy is that once it is reversed to carry oil southwards it might then become impossible to switch the flow back to a northwards direction in the future "This is clearly a risk that the Ukrainian government has been unwilling to take," said the CGES report conducted at the Shyroky Lan multi-service training/proving ground located outside of Mykolayiv with four rockets fired during that round of testing 9M221F) offers a twice longer range -- up to 40 km – than its Soviet-era counterpart RS 9M22 “The tests validated the rocket’s performance in terms of average range and density of hits,” the Ministry of Defense has reported “Industrial and military [parties to the project] have been satisfied with the results achieved The testing will be continued,” the MoD statement says DE memo: Initial test-firing of KB Pivdenne’s 122-mm rocket prototypes was conducted in mid-2019; aimed to validate the new munition’s average-range performance During trials conducted at Ali Bay Proving Ground outside Odesa in April 2020 Tayphoon-1 rocket was successfully test launched to its maximum range of 40 km Typhoon-1 has been designed to replace the aging inventory of 122-mm Soviet-era BM-21 Grad projectiles that are still fielded by Ukraine’s military as well as for use with Ukraine-developed replacements for the Grad MLRS – the BM-21U “Verba” and BM-21UM “Berest” Date This was reported on Suspilne TV by Petro Tokar That's the kind of“truce” we can talk about in Kharkiv region right now,” Tokar said Photo: Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office MENAFN01052025000193011044ID1109498494 World and Middle East business and financial news
