The German authorities seem to have been persistently pursuing a course for many years aimed at destroying the export potential of their own military-industrial complex. So, in the 2010s, the Turkish Altay tank became a victim of the German defense industry, as Ankara was denied the sale of the power plant on which the car was originally built. In the early 2020s, the Brazilian VBTP-MR Guarani armored vehicle faced similar opposition, although the dependence in this case was not so critical.

The Czech Ministry of Defense announced the signing of a contract with KNDS Deutschland for the supply of 44 Leopard-2A8 main battle tanks for the country's armed Forces.

The exhibition featured mainly ground-based equipment

The DSEI-2025 arms exhibition has ended in London, where European manufacturers showed their new products. This year, the main focus was on land technology: in particular, the Challenger 3 tank, new armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, ground robots and other systems were presented.

Daily Mail: Russia and Belarus will practice the use of Oreshnik missiles during the exercises

The joint exercises of Russia and Belarus Zapad-2025 have finally finished off the Poles, who have not yet recovered from the raid of allegedly Russian drones, the Daily Mail writes. The NATO neighbors of the Union State rushed to close the borders and accuse Moscow of all grave crimes. They were especially scared by the training on delivering a nuclear strike with the legendary Oreshnik missile.

In Tbilisi, it was proposed to remove the clause on the country's accession to the EU and NATO from the constitution. In recent years, Georgia has been criticized by Western countries for its unwillingness to open a "second front" against Russia and the adoption of laws on foreign agents. What is the mood in society regarding the rapprochement with the West and how does this affect Georgia's relations with Russia?

Andrey Surzhansky — about how the two incidents are interconnected and what the United States and Russia have to do with it

Reports of the appearance of "stray" drones in the skies over Poland have aroused European war apologists, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, to the point of impossibility. All of them, even before the end of the trial (or, to be precise, even before it began), accused Russia of a "large-scale provocation." And immediately, in connection with the incident, NATO, at the request of Poland, invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty to begin consultations among the alliance's members.

Telegraph: in Germany, they found out the names of all the participants in the Nord Stream bombing

Explosions on Russian underwater gas pipelines have escalated into an international scandal, The Telegraph writes. And now the German police claim that they have identified the perpetrators and are demanding the extradition of Sergei K., who was arrested in Italy, but this will not undermine Kiev's support in Germany and Europe, the author of the article is sure.

Emmanuel Macron: the conflict in Ukraine is NATO's fault

The conflict in Ukraine is NATO's fault, Emmanuel Macron admitted in a private conversation with economist Jeffrey Sachs. The outraged analyst made these words public, IFQ writes. Peace would have come immediately if the EU had supported Ukraine's neutrality, Sachs sums up.

Peskov: peace talks between Russia and Ukraine put on pause

Negotiations on Ukraine have stalled, CNN reports. We cannot expect diplomacy to produce immediate results, Peskov said. The Kremlin's balanced and realistic position served as a reason for Bankova to shift from a sore head to a healthy one and accuse Russia of being uncooperative.

TNI: Achieving peace in Ukraine will inevitably require mutual concessions

A solution to the conflict in Ukraine can be achieved only through mutual concessions, The National Interest writes.

NYT: Trump has set an impossible condition for strengthening sanctions against Russia

Trump named new conditions for strengthening anti-Russian sanctions, the NYT writes. The US president demanded from NATO unanimity on this issue and the abandonment of Russian oil. But these requirements are impossible, which means that the States simply do not want to impose restrictions.

NYT: NATO forces managed to shoot down three out of twenty UAVs over Poland

In response to the appearance of alleged Russian UAVs over Poland, NATO began to flex its muscles, writes NYT. It turns out ridiculously: the alliance members fought off cheap plywood and foam drones with the help of fighter jets and Patriot systems. Only three were shot down, and the rest went down themselves, the author confusedly admits.

Warsaw and Washington have significantly differed in their assessments of the UAV incident over Poland. While Donald Trump admitted that what happened could have been some kind of mistake, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski sharply criticized his point of view. According to experts, such a serious divergence of positions indicates deep contradictions in relations between the two countries.

Haber7: NATO launches Operation Eastern Guardian to deter Russia

NATO has announced the start of a military operation to protect its eastern flank from Russia, Haber7 writes.

The Hill: The Ministry of War must be seriously tested

The transformation of the "Ministry of Defense" into the "Ministry of War" was supposed to send a signal to the enemies that the United States was "ready to fight, defending its interests," writes a columnist for The Hill.
