China has successfully completed two-start tests of the 130-ton reusable liquid oxygen-kerosene secondary combustion cycle engine on Saturday, the Global Times learned from its developer, the 6th Research Institute of China's Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
The type of engine is designed for the repeated use of China's new generation of carrier rockets. The engines are notable for their high comprehensive performance, strong expansion capacity and high reliability. They are a key element in supporting the development of China's reusable space vehicles, and meet the needs of space activities such as the operation of China's space station, and improve China's ability to enter and leave space at scale and low cost.
The Global Times learned from company that on the basis of fully inheriting the development technology of the series, the development team of the 6th Research Institute completed the whole process of the demonstration and verification from the scheme design in less than one year.
In addition, new technologies such as 3D printing, automatic welding and intelligent assembly are being adopted for some components of the engine, and breakthroughs have been made in the core and key technologies such as the repeated use of high-thrust engine high-pressure secondary combustion twice ignition and continuous variable thrust, another significant milestone.....More Below
All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Sun Tzu, The Art of War
The Empire of Chaos is relentless. Lawfare, destabilizations, sanctions, kidnappings, color revolutions, false flags, annexations: 2025 will be the year of BRICS – plus BRICS partners – as choice targets under fire.
Inestimable Prof. Michael Hudson coined “chaos” as official US policy. That’s bipartisan – and it runs across all silos of the Deep State.
In the absence of long-term strategic vision, and amidst the progressive imperial expulsion from Eurasia, all that’s left for the Hegemon is to unleash chaos from West Asia to Europe and parts of Latin America – a concerted attempt to Divide and Rule BRICS and thwart their collective drive affirming sovereignty and the primacy of national ...
While NATO may be yearning to take on Russia in the Arctic, many of its troops lack the necessary expertise for survival in such extreme conditions.
Although NATO forces regularly participate in drills in the region, many remain unprepared for the harsh realities of Arctic life.
Though NATO forces routinely participate in the bloc’s drills in the region, many of them are still not prepared to survive in the Arctic’s harsh conditions, The Sun reports citing Minna Alander, a researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.
"Not all NATO allies have the capabilities that are needed and that work in the Arctic environment and climate,” Alander said.....more below
