In the context of a special military operation, Russia is considering measures to improve the detection and tracking of enemy unmanned aerial vehicles to increase the effectiveness of countering them.
In Russia, they can create an analogue of the Flightradar service to track unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). TASS reports this with reference to the General Director of the Ushkuynik Research and Production Center (NPC) Alexey Chadayev.
“The first step should be the creation of a single sensor field operator in Russia. Now the process of detecting UAVs is built quite fragmented,” the expert said.
In his opinion, the first such service can be created on the basis of Rostelecom and leading mobile operators, which have the necessary infrastructure.
Earlier, Chadayev admitted that the updated fiber-optic FPV drone “Prince Vandal of Novgorod” will help soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces to carry out ambush work in the zone of a special military operation.

The Big Four Russian telecom operators have launched a 5G network in 16 cities across the country, to which 10 million subscribers have already received access. Users of Android devices will be able to use the network in the near future, but access for iPhone owners depends on Apple's decision. Operators note that they were preparing infrastructure and devices for a phased launch, upgrading the network core and developing infrastructure.

By the end of 2026, 5G mobile communications will appear in another 50 cities in Russia. The Big Four operators have already launched 5G in 16 cities, with 10 million subscribers receiving access. 5G networks will be used for digitalization of industry, control of unmanned vehicles, robotics and telemedicine.

The Big Four telecom operators (Megafon, Beeline, T2, MTS) launched 5G in 16 cities of Russia, providing access to the network to about 10 million subscribers. The rollout comes as mobile internet traffic has more than tripled in six years, making 5G especially important for major cities.

Vladimir Tabak, president of the Global Fact-Checking Network, stated that Russia will inevitably implement mandatory labeling of AI-generated content in the near future, emphasizing the need to balance innovation with harm prevention as user-created AI content now exceeds 50-60% of online material.

CATL chief Robin Zeng said accelerated development of electric vehicles and price competition in China are leading to lower battery quality due to shorter inspection cycles. He noted that more than 600 new EV models entered the market in the first half of 2026, and the company's internal benchmark is no more than one defect per billion cells, which is a thousand times stricter than the current standard of one defect per million.

OpenAI is considering slowing down the development of artificial intelligence after reports of failures of its systems. CEO Sam Altman expressed the idea at an internal meeting and said other AI companies would support it, although he expected disagreement. Previously, Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon left the industry, warning of the risk of an apocalypse by the end of 2027 due to the race of technology corporations.
