At the end of September 2020, the long – standing frozen conflict in Transcaucasia over the status of Nagorno-Karabakh, the internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan, whose majority population is Armenians, sharply escalated. One of the main features of the Karabakh war in 2020 was the massive use by the Azerbaijani side of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of various types of Israeli and Turkish development.

NATO does not have prohibited weapons, but has the ability to respond to their use, said the Secretary General of the organization Jens Stoltenberg.

Who benefits from discrediting the Russian contingent in Karabakh

In recent days, a number of materials critical of Russian peacekeepers have appeared on many information resources. The most ridiculous is the report that the Russian Defense Ministry allegedly transferred Syrian citizens from the Khmeimim air base to Yerevan to participate in military operations against Azerbaijan. The source of the fake was the non-governmental organization "Syrians for Truth and Justice", created with the support of the US State Department, affiliated with the "White Helmets".

The US Army has received the first two prototypes of light combat vehicles of the "revolutionary" family of ground-based drones Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV), writes The Drive.

The launch of the Bulava intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by a nuclear submarine of the Pacific Fleet on December 12 confirmed the characteristics of this missile, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said.

Russia's plans to develop hypersonic weapons have provoked panic in NATO countries over Moscow's " aggressive plans." In Europe, however, they are more afraid that it will be destroyed by American defenders, who are afraid of the Russian threat. Does the possession of "hypersound" really give Russia a decisive advantage? And how can the West respond to us if it achieves parity in such weapons?

Fly further, hit harder, ignore the opposition-the Americans tested a new modification of the Tomahawk cruise missile-Block V. In the Pacific Ocean, near the Hawaiian Islands, the destroyer Chafee fired at a target at a naval training ground. The US Navy succinctly reported: everything went well. About what is known about Block V and how Russian "Calibers" look against its background - in the material of RIA Novosti.

The Defense Ministry does not advise anyone to talk to Russia from a position of strength

The Russian Defense Ministry reminded foreign colleagues that actions from a "position of strength" will not remain without a response from Moscow. Thus, the ministry responded to the statement of the head of the German Defense Ministry that Russia should be forced to disarm. According to the German politician, the country spends a lot of money on the modernization of its weapons, which indicates a supposedly more obvious threat.
