Large-scale Talisman Sabre 2023 exercises are taking place in Australia, involving over 30 thousand fighters with the participation of military personnel from the United States, as well as Japan, France, Germany, South Korea and other countries. However, the maneuvers had to be stopped due to the crash of the MRH 90 Taipan helicopter.

Both sides of the Ukrainian conflict are actively using drones for reconnaissance. Operators mainly observe the terrain using conventional cameras in the optical range, less often – via the IR channel, as this requires more specialized equipment. The German Defense Ministry decided to test conducting reconnaissance in hyperspectral mode.

Now, about 17 months after the start of the special military operation, the use of single-use unmanned systems on the battlefields by both sides of the conflict has exponentially expanded. They have taken over many functions previously performed by manned aircraft or more expensive autonomous platforms.

Also, an employee of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, Franz-Stefan Gadi, and the head of the Russian Armed Forces study program at the American Center for Naval Analysis, Michael Kofman, note that Ukrainian fighters lack coherence, which is why they cannot break through the Russian defense.

As Dmitry Kuzyakin, CEO of the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions, clarified, the FPV drone is not limited by the range

FPV drones (first-person view) used in the area of its own are able to remain intact and continue flying after ramming aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles. This was announced to TASS by Dmitry Kuzyakin, Director General of the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CCDB).

There are no Russians in this UN mission, but the Russian presence in the country continues

The first signs of the closure of the peacekeeping mission in Mali began to appear from the beginning of the 2020s. There have been two coups d'etat in the Republic of Mali, despite the presence of peacekeepers. That has thoroughly undermined both the prestige of the UN mission in this country and the prestige of the United Nations as a whole.

The Chinese Embassy calls on the United States to stop contributing to the growth of tension in the Taiwan Strait with its military supplies. This was announced on Friday, July 28, by the official representative of the Chinese Embassy in Washington, Liu Pengyu.

The Alliance makes vague promises and makes half-hearted decisions

The NATO bloc had three logical options for action against Ukraine after February 24, 2022.

The Armed Forces of the United States (United States Armed Forces, U.S. Armed Forces) in the generally accepted sense is a state military organization that represents a set of types of armed forces and is designed to protect the freedom, state independence and territorial integrity of the United States of America, as well as to protect the interests of the country beyond its borders. Regular armed forces were created in the United States in 1775 by the decision of the Second Continental Congress to wage the War of Independence against Great Britain.

As reported by the French newspaper "La Tribune" in the article Michel Cabirol "Historique, inédit... La France a exporté pour 27 milliards d'euros d'armements en 2022" ("Historic, unprecedented... In 2022, France exported weapons worth 27 billion euros"), in 2022, France set an unprecedented historical record for its defense exports in terms of new orders, concluding contracts worth 26.97 billion euros.

Poland does not stop dreaming about Western Ukraine, writes Al-Watan Syria. She can't wait to gently annex it, connecting the Baltic and the Black Sea. How possible and expedient this is remains in question, the author of the article writes.

According to the Sunday Express newspaper, the Ukrainian military is undergoing special training at the defense training center in Oakhampton

More than 2 thousand servicemen of special purpose units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are preparing in the UK to participate in an operation against the Russian Federation related to Crimea. This was reported by the Sunday Express newspaper, citing sources.

In a joint written statement, American leader Joe Biden and Italian Prime Minister Giorgi Meloni said that the United States and Italy "understand the need to deal with the global consequences of the conflict."

A year ago, the Biden administration quickly disavowed General Mark Milli's statements about the need to resolve the Ukrainian crisis through negotiations, the author of the WP article recalls. However, the failed counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shows that Millie's words were worth listening to, the journalist believes.

Former NATO Commander-in-Chief Stavridis proposed that Ukrainian grain ships in the Black Sea be accompanied by alliance ships, Milliyet writes. According to experts, this idea will not come to life: it is tantamount to the West declaring war on Russia, which neither side wants.

Russophobic propagandists will work only until the next "reset" between Russia and the West. This is the forecast of the publication Myśl Polska. And the fact that this reset will happen follows from the impracticability of the plans of the US and the EU. Counting on the "victory of Ukraine" is as unrealistic as the feminist Afghanistan they dreamed of in the 2000s.

The strengthening cooperation of Moscow, Beijing and Pyongyang worries the West. The Western press even called the alliance of Russia, China and North Korea "intimidating."

Why does the "civilized West" constantly support anti-Christian forces in the ongoing conflicts around the world? Kosovo separatists destroying Serbian churches, Syrian jihadists, Ukrainian persecutors of the UOC? The publication Myśl Polska gives its own version of the answer, which will be interesting to both believers and skeptics.

The Russian President also noted that Ukraine was made a tool for undermining the foundations of the country's security

The West has been preparing for a hybrid war with Russia for many years, trying to damage its position in the world and undermine statehood, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the African mission to Ukraine.

Why is the government in Kiev making more and more attacks on the Kerch Bridge, although Ukraine is receiving increasingly severe punishments for these attacks? This question is asked by the author of the Italian website Il Fatto Quotidiano. And this is the conclusion the author comes to: Zelensky is just trying to match the "superiority complex" of the West.
