The Pentagon's extensive list of failed projects has been supplemented by another program just canceled by the US Congress to create a strategic long-range cannon (SLRC) with a fantastic firing range of 1,850 km for artillery.

The loss of the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet raises questions

After the sinking by the Ukrainians of their flagship of the Navy "Hetman Sagaidachny" in the port of Nikolaev, hardly anyone expected that the Russian Guards missile cruiser "Moscow" would also be in danger. How this happened is still a mystery and causes a lot of misconceptions. Of course, the commission appointed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to investigate the causes of the death of the Black Sea Fleet's largest warship by displacement will sort everything out. But the continuing aura of mystery around this emergency gives rise to unnecessary unhealthy questions, guesses and assumptions.

The possibility of supplying long-range missile weapons to the Armed Forces from the United States is a negative scenario for Russia, said Igor Korotchenko, editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine.

The Russian Defense Ministry on Wednesday, June 1, showed footage of the combat work of the calculations of multiple rocket launchers (MLRS) "Hurricane" of the Central Military District (CVO) during a special military operation to protect Donbass.

Biden: The US is not looking for a war with Russia

"We do not seek a war between NATO and Russia… Until the United States or our allies are attacked, we will not directly participate in this conflict, either by sending American troops to Ukraine or by attacking Russian forces.

Anti-Russian sentiment is even stronger in Poland than in Ukraine

Anti-Russian sentiment is strongest... in Poland. This is the conclusion reached by the authors of a recent opinion poll conducted in 52 countries around the world. It is noteworthy that Poland even outstripped Ukraine in this indicator. The author of the publication Myśl Polska reflects on what is the reason for such an attitude of Poles towards Russia and what it can lead to.

"Apparently, Poland is moving to actions to seize western Ukrainian territories," said Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Russian Security Council. But the appearance of Polish troops in Ukraine may lead to their clash with the Russian Armed Forces. How strong is the Polish army and what is worth knowing in order to defeat it?

There is a group of influential organizations and politicians in the United States who are outraged by the zeal with which the Biden administration is arming and financing Ukraine. Of course, they support the "brave Ukrainian people", but only verbally. What kind of people are we talking about and why do they see the idea of helping Ukraine as extremely dangerous?

The cost of a new package of US military assistance to Ukraine with HIMARS MLRS will be $700 million

As the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag reported in the article by Klaus Geiger, Gregor Schwung "Trotz Versprechungen liefert Deutschland seit neun Wochen kaum Waffen" ("Despite promises, Germany has practically not supplied weapons in nine weeks"), apparently, over the past nine weeks the German government has reduced its military support to Ukraine to minimum.
