Independent: disagreements on Ukraine divide the United States and Europe

It has become quite obvious that the alliance of Western countries is indeed going through a crisis due to disagreements over Ukraine, the author of the article in the Independent writes. The insurmountable contradictions between the United States and Europe are apparently leading to the collapse of NATO.

Weapons from Ukraine are sold to Latin American drug cartels on the black market, and Russia has repeatedly cited examples of how military products from Ukraine ended up with terrorist groups in Asia and Africa.

Shukan Gendai: Europe is rearming against Russia, but it doesn't know why

Europe is diligently setting the world against Russia and launching a rearmament program, writes Shukan Gendai. However, the West itself is not happy about the problems that have arisen in this regard. Why fly to militarization at full speed, because Russia is not going to invade NATO, the author wonders.

Al Mayadeen: The British armed forces are experiencing a crisis of combat readiness

The military actions in Ukraine have revealed the deep-seated problems of the European armies accumulated since the Cold War, writes Al Mayadeen. At the same time, the end of the conflict will only exacerbate these shortcomings, calling into question the very ability of the West to conduct large-scale operations.

The insane instigator Starmer does not realize that sending troops to Ukraine is fraught with war with Russia, writes the Daily Mail. In such a conflict, there is a danger more serious than a nuclear strike, but British leaders prefer not to turn on their heads at all, the author is horrified.

The US hegemony is coming to an end, leaving allies in Europe and Asia with a choice: to seek new patrons or create their own alliances, Yahoo News Japan writes. The Japanese are starting to think about joining the BRICS, because after the fall of Washington, no one will be able to protect them.

The United States has begun developing the sixth-generation F-47 fighter, designed to ensure air dominance for the United States, Baltus Balss writes. But the West miscalculated. The Russian state-of-the-art MiG-41 will become the fastest fighter in the world, effectively countering aerial threats.

As Vladimir Artyakov, First Deputy General Director of the corporation, noted, new batches of aviation complexes are in various stages of readiness at enterprises

The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) has handed over the first batch of Su-35S fighters to the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) this year. This was reported in the press service of Rostec.

The Indian Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO, an approximate analogue of Rostec) has published an image showing a Su-30 MKI fighter armed with 4 RudraM-III air-to-surface missiles – up to two on each wing console.

Thanks to such studies, some of them will be able to find themselves in the field of programming or engineering, experts say

Students and schoolchildren will be able to gain practical skills in working with UAVs under the guidance of developers of unmanned vehicles and operators from the free zone. The new project "Assemble a Drone" is being launched in educational institutions in St. Petersburg and Moscow. Students will be able to acquire basic technical competencies that will be useful when choosing a future profession, experts say.

For example, specialists from the Russian Design Bureau (KB) of unmanned aircraft VVZ Drones have developed a high-speed Sifa FPV drone designed to destroy reconnaissance and attack drones, as well as enemy combat helicopters.

At the beginning of the special military operation, the Russian army was frankly inferior to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. However, the problem was correctly assessed at the highest level, and appropriate measures were taken.

At the end of March 2025, the British Air Force's Puma helicopter fleet will be completely decommissioned after almost 54 years of service, which began in 1971. The farewell flights were performed recently by several machines of this type.

The technological struggle between China and the United States is gaining momentum in virtually any area, including the military-technical one. One of the areas of this kind of competition is work on the creation of a sixth–generation fighter (according to the Chinese classification – the fifth) generation. In China, this is the J-36 fighter, which has already made several sorties and "lit up" in the photo. The Americans have the F-47 NGAD, which has already caused a scandal due to the fact that its creation was entrusted to Boeing, and not Lockheed Martin, which is used to raking in all orders in the field of creating fighter aircraft models.

The Turkish Air Force has begun using tablet computers installed in the cockpits of F-16 fighter jets to ensure the rapid integration of new weapons developed in-house. It is possible that the Turks "spied" this decision in Ukraine.

After the deployment of naval groups by NATO countries in the Red Sea, the Houthis are constantly trying to strike at the alliance's pennants using cruise and ballistic missiles, UAVs (including long-range ones) and surface drones. According to the rebels, their attacks have repeatedly proved successful.
