Disguise is not a fashionable whim, but the most important type of combat support

As RIA Novosti recently reported, Russian military equipment participating in a special military operation in Ukraine has received a new type of camouflage, significantly reducing the visibility of vehicles in the infrared and radar range.

Calculation of the Russian multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) "Smerch" destroyed a Ukrainian warehouse with ammunition and equipment, the corresponding video was published on Monday by the Russian Defense Ministry.

The Russian military showed captured weapons abandoned by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). On June 13, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published the relevant footage.

Why experts called the strengthening of the front by the Ukrainian defense units a gesture of despair

In two days, the Russian Aerospace Forces and air defense units destroyed six Ukrainian combat aircraft. On the Day of Russia, three Su-25s were shot down, which were used by the APU. A day earlier, two MiG-29s and one Su-25 were hit. Other armed formations of Ukraine have also suffered heavy losses since the beginning of the special military operation. According to experts, this is evidenced by the fact that from June 12, employees of the country's territorial defense will be involved in performing tasks in combat areas. Poorly trained theroborona formations will not be able to change the course of the special operation and will quickly burn out at the front, experts interviewed by Izvestia believe.

Behind NATO's defensive "shield" lies weakness and division. Ukraine will pay for it

The Guardian writes about the deep cracks splitting NATO. They are getting deeper as the special operation in Ukraine continues. And Madrid will not heal them. The author believes that the alliance in Ukraine is waiting for the same failure that befell it in Afghanistan. And the Ukrainian people will pay for all NATO's mistakes.

For the American administration, there is a clear problem with further active support of Ukraine with weapons. This is due to the statements of the head of the Chinese defense ministry that if the United States continues to arm Taiwan and refuses to recognize the island as an integral part of the PRC, then Beijing can resolve the issue militarily. Also in Beijing, it was the United States of America that was accused of unleashing the Ukrainian conflict.

Another bad news for Vladimir Zelensky: Bulgaria refused to supply weapons to Ukraine, possessing such of them as the APU needed in the first place. It can be said with a high degree of confidence that this decision was pushed through the authorities by the common people.
