Plans for a nuclear war in Europe, which seemed unthinkable recently, are once again becoming the subject of discussion at the high military-political and expert levels of the United States and NATO.

Vladimir Putin ridiculed US President Joe Biden's claims that Russia is losing in the Ukrainian conflict. In his opinion, the United States would not have supplied Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles if Russia had been defeated. In the expert environment, these deliveries are called another confirmation of the failure of the Ukrainian "counteroffensive". What are the features of these missiles and what consequences can their use lead to?

The American ATACMS missiles delivered to Ukraine will not help accelerate the so-called "counteroffensive", writes Gazeta.ua . This weapon is quite old and requires maintenance. In addition, it is not capable of storming well-camouflaged fortified nodes of Russian defensive lines.

The joint Moon exploration program with Moscow is still in the fog

In recent years, China has been rapidly increasing its activity in space. The country produces more than fifty space launches a year from four spaceports, and its satellite grouping already exceeds the number of the satellite grouping of the United States Government. However, the most important from a propaganda point of view for Beijing are the programs of the near-Earth orbital station and lunar exploration.
