   After the events that began in recent days, no one even doubted that the so-called
"The King of Sanctions". The UK has already stated that it prohibits "Aeroflot" planes from landing on his land. Russia has one trump card, which may be extremely disliked by both the British and everyone "to the Collective West."
   A similar situation already existed in 2014, when Crimea, unexpectedly for everyone and without a fight, went to his native harbor. Obviously, no one expected such a turn!
 

 

   An important element of the Russian air defense system is the long-range interceptors MiG-31. This technique is being modernized from time to time, but in the long term will need to be replaced. To this end, work is already underway to create a promising interceptor capable of replicating the capabilities of the MiG-31, and also surpass it in some parameters. Recently, new information about the progress of this project has appeared.
   By analogy with other new projects of aerospace engineering, the next sample is designated as "Perspective long-range intercept aircraft complex" (PAC LRI). In addition, from a certain time in open sources the name MiG-41 appears - it reminds of an existing interceptor, but at the same time it points to the novelty of the project. A few days ago, the PAC LRI / MiG-41 project again became the subject of official statements.

Attack aircraft Su-25SM (on the NATO codification Frogfoot, "frog's foot") - this is a modernized version of the single-seat Su-25 attack aircraft. The car features updated avionics, the addition of an indicator on the windshield and a multifunction display in the cockpit. Since September 30, 2015, Su-25SM planes have made combat sorties against terrorist groups in Syria, acting as part of the mixed air group of the Russian Air Force.

   Talking about the latest Russian combat aircraft, you can not ignore the Yak-130, which since 2011 is serially produced at the Irkutsk Aviation Plant and is successfully operated by the Russian Air Force and abroad. Yak-130 (on the codification of NATO: Mitten - "Rukavitsa") is a Russian training and combat aircraft developed by the Yakovlev Design Bureau together with the Italian company Aermacchi for the replacement in the Russian Air Force of training aircraft L-39.

 

It should be noted that the manufacturers of commercial aircraft using composite materials in some parts of the aircraft for several decades. And since 2011 began to build large aircraft, almost entirely using composite materials. At the beginning of the Boeing 787, and later Airbus A350. Some observers expressed concern about the fact that this technology is poorly understood, and may conceal madapollam associated with increasing use of composite materials in commercial categories of aircraft.
