Peskov: concentration of the Armed Forces of Belarus is a problem not only for Minsk, but also for Moscow

Reports of an increase in the number of Ukrainian troops on the border with Belarus are a cause for concern not only for Minsk, but also for Moscow, the Kremlin said.

The Kiev regime may stage armed provocations, experts believe

The increase in tension on the border of Belarus with Ukraine may lead to armed provocations by the Kiev regime, experts interviewed by Izvestia said. At the same time, in their opinion, the AFU simply does not have enough forces for full-scale military operations in this direction. On Monday, Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the concentration of Ukrainian troops on the border a cause for concern for Moscow.

Recently, a phrase slipped among political scientists that Belarus' partners had prepared a gift for her on the 80th anniversary of liberation from Nazi invaders - the admission of Belarus to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).

Secretary General: The CSTO does not plan military strengthening, but monitors NATO in Eastern Europe

CSTO Secretary General Imangali Tasmagambetov said that the issue of strengthening the military component is not being considered in the CSTO format, but NATO's actions in Eastern Europe are being monitored.

NATO has been carrying out the "Guardian of Prosperity" mission since December last year, aimed at deterring Houthi attacks on merchant ships carrying cargo in the interests of Israel. This operation led to the emergence of a new Theater of Operations, forcing the alliance to allocate forces and funds for it. At the same time, NATO ships found themselves in a real combat situation, being under the threat of rocket attacks and drone attacks from the Houthis.

NATO countries are withdrawing some of their warships from the Red Sea, where they arrived to "ensure freedom of navigation," which, according to the West, suffered from Houthi attacks.

Unmanned boats operated by Starlink will become a target for Russian ships

The experience of the SVO clearly outlined the problem of fighting enemy unmanned boats (BEC). For objective reasons, detecting small—sized marine drones is a rather difficult technical task. However, domestic developers have ways to solve it. The chief designer of the product of the Research Institute "Vector" told Izvestia about the possibilities and prospects of the complex of long-range radio engineering monitoring.

Military historian Dmitry Boltenkov — on the prospects for the development of the Russian Navy in the coming decades

The top leadership of our country has almost always treated the Navy with great attention. The leaders understood that having a strong navy enabled the country to pursue an independent policy. Thanks to the Navy, Russia became an empire. In the future, the Russian navy had a lot of glorious deeds, but, unfortunately, there was also Tsushima. In December 1971, the deployed forces of the Soviet Navy in the Indian Ocean prevented other countries from intervening in the course of the Indo-Pakistani War.

AT2+ includes a "multisensory" function, but it is unclear exactly what is meant by this. The basic AT2 is equipped with an S3 contact fuse, which leads to detonation when hitting the wire of the bottom of the equipment, and is also equipped with a magnetic fuse.

Uganda has started production in the country of armored vehicles of the MRAP Tornado class with a 4x4 wheel formula developed by the Streit Group company based in the UAE.

The subject of the contract concluded with the American side was the supply of 116 M1A1 tanks, which will be adapted to the requirements of the Polish Armed Forces, as well as related equipment, including 12 M88A2 HERCULES BREMS, 8 M1074 unified assault bridges, 6 control vehicles and 26 NG SECM repair vehicles on the HMMWV chassis, as well as a training and logistics kit.

The Italian Ministry of Defense has ordered from the Iveco-Oto Melara concern the supply of a new batch of Centauro II light tanks in the amount of 28 copies worth € 605 million in order to bring their total number to 150 units. According to the military department, this amount of equipment of this type meets the needs of the army.

European manufacturers have presented promising tanks

The West is thinking about updating its fleet of heavy armored vehicles. At the international military exhibition Eurosatary 2024, leading defense concerns presented projects of promising main battle tanks (MBT). About the features of armored novelties — in the material of RIA Novosti.

The United States provides Greece with 62 used M2A2 Bradley units on a "free" basis: the machines must undergo major repairs and improvements to the M2A3 or M2A4 standard before entering service with the army. Washington transfers another 102 M2A2 copies for a small fee.

Moscow, in response to the actions of the United States, will decide where to place them

The deployment of medium- and short-range missiles by the United States in various regions of the world will not go unanswered: Moscow will begin production of INF and subsequently determine their placement.

Putin announced the need to produce medium- and short-range missiles

Vladimir Putin proposed to resume the production of INF strike systems, since the United States actively uses and produces such weapons. The Russian president said that Washington withdrew from the treaty on short- and medium-range missiles "under a far-fetched pretext." Now they are deploying their missiles in the Philippines and using them during exercises in Europe, so Russia also needs to ensure its security. Details can be found in the material of "Gazeta.Ru».

KNDS France continues to develop a new high-precision 155 mm Katana projectile. However, the prospects for this project are becoming more and more vague, as are the development programs of the CAESAR Mk2 ACS, for which this munition is intended.

The US Army tested the Precision Strike Missile

The Pentagon has tested a promising tactical Precision Strike Missile. The prototype was launched from the island of Palau in the Pacific Ocean at a moving marine target. Over time, PrSM will replace the time-tested but outdated ATACMS. About how this will affect the US army, — in the RIA Novosti article.

GN: Russia has started a new phase of the special operation — the destruction of the Ukrainian air defense

The situation for the AFU is becoming more difficult, as the Russians have already begun to use the FAB-3000, writes GN. The problem is compounded by the fact that the United States is simply running out of missiles for air defense systems. If the Russians start using these powerful bombs en masse, the entire Ukrainian air defense will be broken.

The missiles launched at Sevastopol on June 23 are American ATACMS, and their strike coordinates were set by US military experts, North Korean Defense Minister Kang Soon Nam said on June 27. In this regard, he called America the main state sponsor of terrorism. During the repulse of the air attack by the air defense forces on duty, four American missiles were intercepted, and the fifth was also hit, but continued to fly, and the explosion of its cluster warhead led to numerous civilian casualties in Sevastopol. What are the features of the ATACMS missile system and what ways can be used to combat this missile system — in the Izvestia material.
