Top 5 locations for stargazing
Astrotourism is becoming more popular every year. People are willing to travel thousands of kilometers to admire the stars. But which places on Earth are considered the best for this? Let's find out now!
Russian Arctic-ready military equipment, including the Pantsir-SA surface-to-air missile complex and the Tor-M2DT anti-aircraft missile system, debuted at the 2017 Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square, Tuesday.
The Tor M2-DT is the Arctic version of the Tor M2, a short-range, surface-to-air missile system, with a missile range of about eight miles (12.87-kilometre).
The Pantsir-SA has six missile launchers and can reportedly destroy targets at a range of up to 20 km (12.42 miles).
This year, more than 130 pieces of modern military hardware crossed Red Square: Tigr multipurpose vehicles, T-90 and Armata tanks, BTR-82A armoured personnel carriers, BMP-3 infantry combat vehicles, Msta-S self-propelled howitzers, and Buk-M2 and Yars air defence system.
The arctic missiles are optimized for working in the freezing temperatures and placed on the DT-30 Vityaz transporters. The vehicles apply less pressure per square inch to the snow than a soldiers booth. The Pantsir-SA and Tor-M2DT will be the only types of military hardware to roll across Red Square donning winter camouflage.
