Analysis of the causes behind the exhaustion of the physical capacity of conventional ground-based electronic warfare systems against new 32-element CRPA antennas, and a technical justification for creating a stratospheric electronic jamming echelon based on the modernized domestic An-196 unmanned aerial vehicle or FP1. During the latest combined strikes on Kyiv and on Ukraine’s infrastructure nodes, air defense systems recorded a qualitative change in the behavior of Geran-type strike drones, including their jet-powered […]

KRONOS ROY is an automated analytical complex for proactive OSINT monitoring and cognitive defense, designed for 24/7 detection, tracking, and neutralization of hostile psychological operations in real time.  The information system of the Russian Federation operates as a rigid centralized monopoly that keeps about 70–75% of the population in a state of passive conformism and “learned helplessness.” The main advantage of this machine is its colossal unlimited budget, which […]

While the Unmanned Systems Forces and the Defense Forces of Ukraine are methodically eliminating the aggressor’s tankers and military vessels in the Black and Azov Seas, and the G7 countries are tightening the oil price cap, a critical paradox remains unnoticed behind the scenes of international politics. Russia’s “shadow fleet”—over 1,200 antiquated tankers ensuring up […]

In the modern geopolitical discourse of European and North Atlantic institutions, a traditional approach to assessing military risks dominates. A significant portion of analysts and politicians continues to prepare for classic conventional scenarios, such as a direct tank offensive by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from the territory of Belarus or massive missile-drone […]

The material is based on the new situational-analytical engine, Kronos Materials Dynamics Platform (Real-Time Global CRM Flow Tracking Engine). This analytical investigation was prepared by the expert group of the Kronos Institute on the basis of a multi-level analysis of global supply chains for critical raw materials (CRM). The report’s key objective is to conduct a deep materials-science and logistics deconstruction of the dependence of the military-industrial complexes of the Axis countries (the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic […]

This analytical report is devoted to uncovering the hidden mechanisms of integrating the Russian state apparatus and economy into the technological, financial, and administrative chains of the People’s Republic of China.  Key parameters recorded during OSINT monitoring: The public rhetoric of the leaders of the PRC and the Russian Federation emphasizes strategic partnership and the creation of a “multipolar world.” However, behind the scenes of diplomatic negotiations, Beijing is building a rigidly pragmatic model of interaction, based on […]

This analytical report is devoted to a comprehensive study of the dynamics of socio-political sentiment, logistical vulnerabilities, and the overall moral and psychological state (MPS) of the population in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.  The study is based on verified daily analytical reports from the “ROY” system for the period from 1 June to 14 July 2026. This system, developed by the Kronos Institute (Kyiv), has been operating for six months and enables, on the basis of […]

The current state of Ukrainian society is characterized by an unprecedented level of psychological and emotional exhaustion, which is a direct consequence of war, economic turbulence, and continuous existential stress. As of the first half of 2026, under conditions of the prolonged operation of the legal regime of martial law and general mobilization, a dangerous dynamic is being observed in which latent public dissatisfaction is transforming into open radicalization.  This process is not exclusively spontaneous; […]

The modern theater of war is undergoing an unprecedented transformation driven by the rapid evolution of unmanned technologies. While remotely piloted unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the first iterations of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) were the key factors influencing the battlefield during 2022–2024, the near future will be defined by the mass deployment of fully […]

The modern theater of operations is undergoing fundamental changes that, in terms of their scale and impact on military science, can be compared to the transition from sail to steam or to the emergence of carrier-based aviation. The full-scale conflict has crystallized an entirely new battlespace—the water surface and the underwater domain—where autonomous and remotely controlled systems now dominate. The state that at the initial […]
