The British concluded fairly quickly that the only feasible method of destroying the rockets was to use an interceptor missile. However, it was some 15 years between the time this conclusion was reached and the first test launches of interceptor missiles in the U.S. and the USSR (1961-1962), given that the task required the application of cutting edge technologies across a relatively broad spectrum of sciences and technologies.

The article draws attention to the fact that the world community is at the stage of self-organization, which gives it the property of a single system, all the elements of which are interconnected and interdependent in real time. These properties of the system are accompanied by an increase in the pace of development and compression of historical time. In these conditions, there is an objective need to build international relations on the basis of mutual trust and mutual responsibility, compliance with certain rules of moral behavior of states while maintaining uneven development and a competitive environment. The trend of spreading the practice of using legally non-formalized obligations and rules of conduct is shown by concrete examples. The analysis of the historically formed features of the use o...

The article does not set the task of analyzing the reasons for the weak information support of the operation. However, attention is drawn to the fact that at the level of doctrinal documents, namely the Military Doctrines of Russia in 2010 and 2014, there is a negative trend in the objectivity of assessments of the features of modern military conflicts in terms of their information support. Among the manifested features of information support of operations, attention is drawn to a sharp reduction in the time of effectiveness of disinformation measures and the inadmissibility of substituting information operations planning with propaganda activities. The effectiveness of using the consolidation of the capabilities of space systems for various purposes in support of one of the c...

Today, given Russia's existing relations with the United States and other Western countries, this idea is not remembered or viewed as relevant and realistic. But there is reason to believe that the current situation is due to the fact that both sides made tactical decisions that were contrary to common strategic interests. In the United States, according to the most authoritative experts, there is a belief in the need to develop relations with Russia in order to respond to a number of important problems of international security, including to contain China, and Russia, in turn, needs America and the West as a whole for its own development. At this stage, the US is concerned about poor relations with Russia and its rapprochement with China. Contradictions resulting from the discrepancy between tactical decis...

The rationale is based on the well-known achievements in the field of natural Sciences about the property of self-organization of matter, which determines the processes of development. The role of religions, culture, structures and forms of state structure and management, relations between the state and religions are considered in the formation of conditions for the development of religions. On this basis, an attempt is made to formulate the necessary conditions for ensuring the security of the state. The analysis of the impact of information systems, including digital democracy on development is carried out. The main security threats to human society and promising development options are analyzed, taking into account the approaching singularity point.

To find ways to solve this problem, three aspects are considered – doctrinal, concerning official views on the use of nuclear weapons; features of the means of delivery of tactical nuclear weapons; features of the storage of tactical nuclear ammunition; the influence of high-precision weapons. The main doctrinal provisions are considered for Russia, the United States and China. The conclusion is substantiated that it is expedient to consolidate in the doctrinal documents of nuclear states or in other forms of mutual obligations the provision that each state will develop new non-nuclear systems of armed struggle with a simultaneous reduction in the role of nuclear weapons in ensuring security. To reduce the risk of escalation of the conflict to a nuclear one, it is proposed to work out the issue of refusing to create and deploy delivery veh...

Within the density functional theory calculations on the CS, the absolute differences in Ag vacancy formation energies up to 2.6 eV/cell were obtained for possible Cd/Sn dispositions. Subsequently, silver ion migration was modeled using the nudged elastic band method. The migration energies in the range of 0.250 to 2.993 eV/cell were obtained. By application of topological descriptors, namely, the relative disposition of Cd atoms and the number of Cd atoms in the vicinity of Ag vacancy, the reliable correlations were obtained between the Cd/Sn relative disposition and the calculated energy characteristics.
