Ukraine revealed last Friday a new drone rocket locally developed that promises to change the dynamics of the conflict against Russia. Called “Peklo” Hell, in Ukrainian, the device has an estimated range of 700 km, surpassing the range of the ATACMS missiles supplied by the United States.

The presentation of the new drone rocket took place at an official ceremony, attended by President Volodymyr Zelensky. Manufactured by the state-owned Ukroboronprom, the drone has the potential to hit targets deeper into Russia, a response to Russia’s continued use of long-range missiles.

According to a representative of the manufacturer, the Peklo is capable of reaching speeds of 700 km/h. Although more precise technical details, such as proof of range or action images, have not been released, the Ukrainian Minister of arms production recently stated that the device can be compared to a cruise missile, flying at low altitude to its target.

The drone measures just over one meter, equipped with side wings and rear fins, being the second model of this technology presented by Kiev. This innovation demonstrates Ukraine’s effort to balance the forces, as until recently its allies hesitated to authorize the use of Western weapons, such as the ATACMS missiles, to strike inside Russia.

Zelensky highlighted that Ukraine is working on the development of four types of missiles, although the progress of the program faces challenges due to issues in the global supply chain. Despite the difficulties, advancements with the new drone rocket reinforce Ukraine’s capacity to carry out deeper attacks within Russian territory.

With this new weaponry, Kiev signals its determination to level the playing field in the conflict while continuing to seek innovations to overcome the limitations imposed by war.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A 250-ton transformer traveled 1,929 km by road in India on a slow and planned journey that demonstrates how the power grid relies on giant loads, detours, and impossible routes for regular trucks.

The largest car carrier ship in the world will unload 7,200 BYD cars at the SC Port in June, but before that, an Italian ship will arrive this Tuesday with another 4,500 vehicles, totaling 11,700 cars, 150 workers, and a 24-hour non-stop operation at the Port of Itajaí.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.
