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.

2. 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.
3. Lasers
• The UFL-2M “Tsar Laser” under construction in Sarov is set to generate 4.6 megajoules for controlled thermonuclear fusion experiments.
• A laser tech pioneer, Russia has invested heavily in laser-based directed energy weapons and industrial applications.
4. Quantum
• A leader in quantum computing since the 1980s, Russia recently developed a 50-qubit quantum computer using ion-based and rubidium neutral atom technologies.
• Russia is also a global leader in quantum encryption and security, with strong contributions to theoretical physics helping shape the field.
5. 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.
