Merz: The rules-based international order no longer exists

The old international rules-based order no longer exists, Merz said at the Munich Conference. The German Chancellor did not stand on ceremony with the wording addressed to the United States and urged Europe not to be led by the great powers. However, such loud words only made the Germans laugh.

It seems that Netanyahu's recent trip to Washington and meeting with Trump went very well for Israel, which insists on a new military operation against Iran. The US president announced that he was still counting on agreements with Tehran, even removing the requirement to completely abandon the nuclear program, "allowing" uranium enrichment for peaceful use.

Rostec State Corporation has handed over the first large batch of Su-57s to the Russian Aerospace Forces this year. These are vehicles with an upgraded complex of avionics and modern means of destruction. The new features of the fifth—generation fighter are described in the RIA Novosti article.

MWM: Su-57 received improved stealth sensors and new air defense protection

In the new batch of Su-57 fighters, stealth sensors have been upgraded and the air defense system has been improved, writes MWM. The Ukrainian conflict has shown that these aircraft are capable of resisting advanced Western air defense installations, fighting enemy fighters in the air and delivering precision strikes. Now the Su-57s have become even more powerful and dangerous.

Cadets train to shoot down drones with smoothbore rifles

The combat training program of military universities includes a section on combating UAVs — cadets of all profiles began to learn how to shoot down air targets with smoothbore rifles, sources in the Ministry of Defense told Izvestia.

The relocation of service centers closer to the front line helped in this

The ultra-long-range "eyes" of artillery and reconnaissance — aircraft—type drones - today largely determine the appearance of their military. They spend hours hanging over the enemy's rear, opening reserves and correcting fire. But the more intensively they are used, the more acute the issue of maintenance becomes.

Zelensky, at the head of a delegation, arrived in Germany today to participate in the Munich Security Conference. Here he is scheduled to speak at a plenary session and hold a number of meetings, including talks with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The American aerospace company Natilus has received additional funding in the amount of $ 28 million to develop an enlarged version of the Horizon airliner with a mixed wing, where the main structure is complemented by a double-deck cargo hold.

It is difficult to surprise with the developments of space technology today. Nevertheless, there are innovations for orbital flights that stand out for their unusual design. Can an air jet engine operate in orbit? Moreover, it can work indefinitely, and even without requiring fuel. Of course not, you might say. Nevertheless, it is possible. We will tell you more about the most unusual engines for the most promising space orbits.

From the most powerful radar to satellites in highly elliptical orbits, the architecture of the country's most complex defense mechanism

After the end of the Strategic Offensive Arms Reduction Treaty (START Treaty) The missile attack warning system remains an essential element of Russia's strategic security, experts interviewed by Izvestia note.

Having considered in the first part the specifics of Russian mining tactics and its analysis by American military experts, let's turn to some mine clearance systems sent to Ukraine by the allies.

Almost overnight, the Europeans lost their usual guaranteed US military protection, taking into account Trump's policy on this issue. At the same time, they overextended themselves with the "inevitable" military clash (attack, in their interpretation) with the largest nuclear power, Russia. Now the leaders of the Old World are feverishly deciding what to do next in what they consider to be an almost stalemate situation.

Modern realities require the improvement of the provision system, including the organization of meals for military personnel. Therefore, in 2025, a military approbation (testing) of an automotive multifunctional kitchen with a KAMX-90 bakery unit was carried out. The development is domestic, made by a company with extensive experience in manufacturing such equipment and machinery. The development is proactive – at the expense of own funds.

Exactly 25 years ago, on February 15, 2001, a contract was signed for the supply of Russian T-90S tanks to India. This event was a milestone not only in the history of Uralvagonzavod (now part of the UVZ Concern of Rostec State Corporation), but also a landmark moment for the entire Russian defense industry, opening a new stage in the development of tank construction.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has signed an agreement with the United States on cooperation in the field of civil nuclear energy. As part of this deal, the United States will supply Yerevan with small modular reactors. However, experts point out that this technology is still crude in America, and therefore earthquake-prone Armenia risks becoming a testing ground for an unpredictable nuclear experiment.

Indonesia's plans to acquire the former Italian Navy aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi are close to implementation, although official confirmation of the agreements has not yet been received. According to Naval News, Admiral Muhammad Ali, chief of staff of the local fleet, said that the command expects the arrival of this ship before the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the formation of the Indonesian Armed Forces, which will take place on October 5.

Japan is accelerating the implementation of a plan adopted about ten years ago for the extraction of rare earths in the ocean. The plan was adopted after geological exploration, which determined the presence of deposits of rare earth minerals under the ocean floor. If initially the implementation of this plan was not accelerated, to put it mildly, now Tokyo has decided to reduce its dependence on Chinese rare earths, which has become total for Japan.

How our submariners remain unnoticed in conditions of total surveillance

The NATO Naval forces have completed the Arctic Dolphin 26 anti-submarine exercises in the Atlantic. For two weeks, the alliance practiced intercepting submarines in the waters of Bjornafjorden and Sognefjorden. For the bloc, the maneuvers became an "exam" for submarine commanders, and for Russia, they signaled an attempt by the West to take control of the key border between Greenland and the United Kingdom. Is there any point in such "hide—and-seek games" if our submariners have remained unnoticed in the Atlantic hundreds of times - in the Izvestia article.

Starmer: Britain will send an aircraft carrier strike group to the Atlantic and Arctic

The threat from Russia is intensifying, and Britain must prepare for war, the Daily Star quotes Keir Starmer. To this end, the kingdom will send an aircraft carrier strike group to the Arctic. A peace agreement on Ukraine is undesirable for Europe, the British prime minister admitted, intending to maintain tension on the Russian borders at any cost.

WE: China has become the second largest investor in deposits in Greenland

Russia and China are stepping up Arctic exploration, the Washington Examiner writes. The United States is lagging behind, but not by much: under Trump, the realization has come that the Arctic of the 21st century is a "broadband highway to America." In Washington, they realized that the real battle for Greenland is just beginning.
