A message to the readers from Deputy Editor-in-Chief Bolshakov D. Yu.

Dear readers,

The interest in the scientific and technical Journal of “Almaz – Antey” Air and Space Defence Corporation, as well as the number of topics of the published articles are increasing every year. Based on the data of the Russian Index of Science Citation, new authors comprise two-thirds of the total number of authors for more than ten years now.

The editorial team has been continuously working on improving the articles’ quality. And it is exactly the perfect quality as the core value of the Journal that was acknowledged by half of the subscribers in a last year’s poll.

You can send your questions regarding publication to my e-mail: press@almaz-antey.ru or ask them by calling +7 (495) 276-26-13. Please be reminded that we admit papers both from Russian and international organisations (the publication is free of charge) and the Journal website http://journal.almaz-antey.ru provides a possibility for a free subscription to mailing of the electronic version of journal issues.
