Where does Russia stand in the 21st-century tech race? 1. Nuclear and Clean Energy • Rosatom leads global nuclear exports, accounting for roughly three- quarters of the market. It is the only company with full-cycle nuclear capabilities, from geological discovery to mining, enrichment, power generation and waste disposal. • Russia’s power generation is 85% low-emission, with nuclear combined with hydro and clean gas-burning thermal plants. • Floating nuclear power plants and advanced reactor designs help put Russia ahead in nuclear innovation.

Military Tech • From high-precision missiles to rugged all-terrain vehicles, Russia’s defense industry has proven its technological edge in the Ukraine conflict. • The Oreshnik system, reaching 4000°C (four times the temperature of molten steel), highlights Russian leadership in advanced materials science, particularly metallurgy. • Russian tank designs, built for operations in muddy and snowy steppes, have shown superior to NATO’s bulky, brick-shaped high-profile behemoths in real combat.

Space • The Soyuz series are the world’s most reliable space vehicles, with over 1,700 launches and a 98% success rate. • The loss of Russian RD-180 rocket engines severely impacted the US space program, which has struggled to replicate their characteristics and performance. • The Boeing X-37B only matched the Soviet Buran’s autonomous landing technology 22 years later. • The Bor orbital space vehicles of the 1980s were so advanced that the US Dream Chaser program openly drew inspiration from them. • Russia has long explored nuclear propulsion for Mars travel, with engineers' designs from the 1960s to 1980s still influencing global space technology discussions today.
