The prototype of the Russian unmanned mainline truck L5 was presented by Navio in Moscow. Navio is the former SberAutoTech, since 2020 it has been developing autonomous driving technologies and other products with artificial intelligence. The prototype of the L5 truck was initially designed by Navio to be fully autonomous. In terms of autonomy, the truck corresponds to the L5 level, which is full automation. The truck has a machine vision system, which includes several cameras, radars and LiDAR sensors. Instead of a windshield, the L5 unmanned vehicle has a huge screen. It is needed to display various information: duplicating turn signals, indicating the speed of movement, etc. The unmanned truck is capable of saving up to 15% of fuel and reducing the cost of transporting goods by up to 30%. Cargo with the L5 truck will be delivered faster, since the unmanned vehicle does not need to stop for rest and can work around the clock. In September, Navio, together with KamAZ, for the first time released Russian trucks without a person in the driver's seat on the M-11 Neva highway.

The prototype of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 passenger airliner took to the air for the first time with Russian PD-8 engines. Testing of the SJ-100 aircraft began in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The aircraft was in the air for about 40 minutes, reaching an altitude of 3 thousand meters, developing a speed of up to 500 km / h. The PD-8 power plants demonstrated stable operation in constant and variable modes. An assessment of the gas-dynamic stability of the engines was carried out. The project with PD-8 engines is being implemented in a very tight time frame by the standards of the global aircraft industry. After 2022, the Superjet 100 will have to be essentially reassembled. As part of import substitution, about 40% of imported systems and units are being replaced in the Russian SJ-100 aircraft. The aircraft also received a Russian fuselage, which was modified to simplify the production and maintenance of the aircraft. By the end of this month, UAC will receive two more PD-8 engines for flight tests. Obtaining a certificate for the PD-8 engine is planned for the fall of this year.
The third Russian experimental aircraft Il-114-300 has joined the flight test program. The Il-114-300 aircraft consists of Russian units and systems, it is equipped with Russian TV7-117ST-01 engines manufactured by UEC-Klimov. The power plant was certified in December 2022 and surpasses foreign analogues in technical characteristics. The aircraft's first flight lasted 30 minutes. According to the task, the aircraft performed a paired pass over the runway at an altitude of 100 meters. The Il-114-300 aircraft will replace the An-24 aircraft and foreign aircraft on local airlines. The Il-114-300 will be able to operate autonomously from relatively small airfields with both concrete and unpaved surfaces. In addition, it is supposed to be used in the Arctic regions. According to the plans for the delivery of the Il-114-300, up to 100 aircraft are to be delivered by 2030. The Il-114-300 can carry up to 68 passengers over a distance of up to 1900 km at a speed of up to 500 km/h. The crew is 2 people. The cost of the Il-114-300 is about 19 million dollars.
The prototype of the Russian passenger airliner Superjet 100 with PD-8 engines reached a maximum flight altitude of 11,300 meters and a flight speed of 955 km/h. During the test flight, the pilots showed the instrument panel of the Sukhoi Superjet 100. The plane was in the air for 3 hours and 13 minutes. During the flight, the gas-dynamic stability of the engines was checked at altitudes of 3,000, 7,600, 9,000 and 11,300 meters. The Sukhoi Superjet 100 airliner can carry from 87 to 108 passengers over a range of 3,050 or 4,600 km. The approximate price of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 is from 39 to 50 million dollars, depending on the configuration.
The White House has claimed for at least the second time in a few weeks that the U.S. has the technology to bend time and space. If this is true, China is in trouble. The first thing that comes to mind is effective "teleportation". If the U.S. can teleport troops or bombs across the Pacific, then no defense, including missile defense, can resist it. Bombs may be easier as teleporting biological organisms (like people) is likely riskier.
Further, Trump cryptically tweeted, "the best definition of intelligence is the ability to predict the future!" If the U.S. can predict the future (for example, how Xi will react to a certain policy, or what the effects will be), then this would be an even more awesome power than teleportation. It would be virtually impossible to defend against this without a matching capability. Then you would have a race where each side continually predicts the future & then attempts to change it. However, the moment one includes one's own reactions in the prediction, then if the prediction is accurate, it is much harder to change, and you run into an infinite loop.

Get the fuck out of here with that stupid Pokemon god shit. How much drugs are you on to take this crackhead seriously? Apparently Hunter Biden might have left his stash at his dad's old office and someone found it.

I can’t tell if you are trolling with this one.

He's not. He's the king of fake wishful panic.
"The US claimed the possibility of X; that means they can soon do 10X, which is the same as 10,000X times 1 million Y as soon as they can achieve Y! There's no stopping them from taking over the universe! What can China do? We're not invested to cope with 10KX(1MY)!! Chinese civilization is doomed! We need to plead for better relations! Ask Trump to forgive us!"
Then we find that X= warp space, Y= bend time
Dude who made the claim: Bachelor's in communications from DeVry
Meanwhile, at DARPA/Boeing:
Their 6th gen has 3 engines?
Yes.
Is that possible?
I'm not sure.
How can they do that?
Maybe put another engine on after the usual 2?
Doesn't that make 4?
But don't go that far; the trick is to stop before we get to 4.
So what do we have?
This is getting out of hand; somebody call the head of the board of education to find some Asian nerd who can solve this.

The Russian experimental medium-haul aircraft MS-21-310 with the PD-14 engine and import-substituted components made its first flight over Irkutsk. PD-14 is the first new-generation aircraft turbofan engine created in modern Russia. The operation of the PD-14 engine is shown in the link to the video in the comments to the video. The passenger aircraft MS-21 took off from the airfield of the Irkutsk Aviation Plant. The flight lasted 1 hour 15 minutes, the airliner climbed to an altitude of 3,000 meters and developed a speed of 580 km / h. Two modified experimental aircraft MS-21 are taking part in flight tests under the import substitution program. The MS-21 aircraft is a Russian medium-haul airliner developed by the Yakovlev Corporation to compete with the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft. Russian analogues have not replaced all foreign systems of the aircraft. The airliner received a Russian onboard electronics complex, including switches, computers, navigation systems, an auxiliary power unit, pressure and air conditioning control devices, lighting devices, and aircraft system consoles. Russian components were also included in the power supply equipment, hydraulic systems, and chassis. The MS-21-310 aircraft can carry from 163 to 211 passengers at a speed of up to 870 km/h. The flight range is about 5,100 km, and can be increased. Serial production of the MS-21 is planned to begin in 2026.
